Does anyone know of a good dog walker/sitter in the area? I used to work from home so I could always take my dog out when needed but am starting a new job and looking to see if I can find someone to take him out for a walk or just out to the bathroom during the afternoon while I'm at work.

I thought I read on one of the blogs about someone on American Street?

These are both good services...

(We've used PhilaPets for occasional cat-sitting & they are fab.)

I cannot recommend Lindsay and Carrie from the Monster Minders highly enough. They've been taking care of our dogs whenever we leave for about the past four years now and I'm always happy with their service - and so are the pooches. Plus, they're just really nice people.

we've had very good experiences with the dogsitting services of Alfa Pets:

I have an employee who used to work for Monster Minders, and I recommend them to folks who can't do day care. Good folks.
