Could Your Dog Use a Break During the Day?
You feel guilty when you leave for work each day.
You worry non-stop about your dog while you are away.
You work from home but are constantly disrupted by your pup.
You rush home from work, hoping they can "hold it."
You constantly scramble to ask family and friends for help.
​Your dog is anxious, stressed or having accidents in the house
Being a dog parent comes with a special skill: worrying about your dog when you're not with them.
​
Whether you're in the office, working from home, or running from one obligation to the next, it's nice knowing your dog is getting fresh air, exercise, and a little extra attention during the day.
​
A walk is more than exercise. It's a chance to explore, sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy the best part of their day while you're busy taking care of yours.

Have been using Monster Minders for 3 years now and could not be happier! We love knowing that our pup gets some love and attention while we are at work all day. The updates we get via the app give us a little burst of happiness during the work day. Not once in the 3 years have we ever been canceled on or had to arrange other care for our pup. Could not recommend Monster Minders enough.

We have over 130
Google reviews from Philly dog people who trust us with their best monsters.
I think these guys have the best customer service of any company I've dealt with ever. They are unfailingly responsive and professional, and super nice and funny too. It's ridiculously easy to get in touch with them - give them a call, send an email, or use the automated online system when it's 11:30 at night and you just remembered your pooch will need a walk tomorrow (I do this a lot). All their policies and the billing system are crystal clear.

Around Here, We Call them Monsters
Because every dog owner knows dogs can be delightfully ridiculous. They're goofy, wonderful, and a little bit monster-ish. That's exactly why we love them.

Because EVERY dog deserves a good day

Through our Rescue Romps program, we partner with PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society) to give dogs a break from the kennel and a chance to get outside. These walks are sponsored by our community, and they truly change the tone of a shelter dog’s day. How Rescue Romps works.
