Monster Minders is the absolute BEST! All of our Minders have been kind and loving to our dog Pete. We know that our current Minder Everest is a STAR because Pete is always overjoyed to see him! We would stick with this company forever if we were staying in Philly. Monster Minders is easy to coordinate and schedule with, and has the benefit of multiple walkers so you're never stuck without a walk if someone calls out sick (an issue we've had with Rover). We know that when our walks are scheduled, they will absolutely happen and Pete will be taken care of according to all of our instructions. They are great communicators and 100% trustworthy. read more

Monster Minders is the best of the best- we couldn't recommend them (and our walker Britt) more. Our dog is not the easiest to walk, though we never had concerns with any of the Monster Minders crew, whether our regular walker or the folks who filled in when our primary walker was unavailable (which was extremely rare). Britt and all of the other walkers were incredibly kind and patient with our dog, and helped her through many low-stress, 20+ minute walks. We've worked with several other walking services in the past and none provide the peace of mind and reliability of Monster Minders. read more

The monster minders were great! Our walker Dena took great care of our dog for the last 2 years. They were very flexible with scheduling changes and worked hard to accommodate late requests as able. Great communication from the staff and the app is very easy to use (scheduling changes and daily details/pictures from the walk). We would recommend monster minders to anyone and would still be using them if we didn't have to move out of Philly. read more

Monster Minders is a wonderful business to work with. They took incredible care of my pup while I lived in the area. They are always timely, responsive and have been flexible with us when things come up. They're very trustworthy and I'm so grateful to them for taking such good care of my pup! (Sung in particular was wonderful and we will miss her) read more

I've been using Monster Minders for a few months and I can't say enough good things about them. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner! Dena takes care of my dog as if she were her own. I have had issues with other dog walkers losing my key, forgetting to show up, last minute cancellations, etc. and that has never happened with these guys. After each appointment, they send a detailed report in their app complete with photos. Dena's reports are so detailed, she even lets me know if my dogs is a little off. And, as a bonus, she takes the BEST photos of my dog. Don't hesitate and schedule a meet and greet with Monster Minders ASAP! read more

I've used monster minders for close to two years and only have great things to say about them!!! I can fully trust Nicolette to take care of my dog and appreciate all her updates. As a company they are extremely reliable and I know I never have to worry about my dog when I have walks scheduled read more

We have been with Monster Minders for years and have been so impressed with their communication, reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism. I would give them ten stars if possible through Yelp. I have never met Carrie personally, but feel like I know her after all these years and her great communication style. I love that our fur children have had the same minder for years, and our minders, Alex & Nikki, have come to know their personalities and quirks, and leave cute little notes that always make us chuckle. They have a new feature now when they take photos of your fur children on their walks which is so nice to see the fur children enjoying their visits and walks. When our previous dog, Griz, was not doing well, Alex knew and immediately notified us that he was stumbling. It was so helpful that Alex knew him so well to notify us of any changes since Monster Minders works hard so each client has a consistent dog walker. The highlight of Griz's day was having Alex come in the afternoon. It was also the highlight of our day as well during the height of the pandemic with shelter in place restrictions. Alex did overnight care for Griz once, and he seemed so thrilled that he had her all to himself for the night. Did I mention they also do cat sitting? Both Alex and Nikki have watched our cat, Evander, for us when we have been gone, and it has given us such peace of mind to see him cuddly and happy. Alex even brought over a new toy that she thought Evander might enjoy, and it quickly became one of his favorites. We recently got a new puppy, Logan, and Nikki was so amazing and patient with him! In so many ways, she helped train him. Logan would start to sit on the stairs staring at the door, eager for his visitor. Finally, when we have been out of town, Monster Minders has gone above and beyond -- not just bringing in packages but also notifying us of water leaks or unsavory surprises. We recently moved from Philly, and after more than nine years with them as a client, I truly can't praise them highly enough. Nikki cried when she said goodbye to Logan. They are not just a company with clients, but truly operate with the mentality that every client is a member of their large and extended family. It honestly felt like a privilege to be their client. Trust your fur children with them! read more

I hired Monster Minders for my two pups, Kallie and Kacey, after Kallie had a series of bladder issues which require her to go outside more frequently. We recently moved from center city to a house and I can honestly say the worst part is that we moved outside of our minder, Julie's, radius. I thought Julie was doing a great job based on her notes and how happy my pups seemed - However, it wasn't until I fell and sustained a pretty serious injury that kept me working from home inside the apartment for 2 months that I was able to fully appreciate Julie. The relationship that Julie developed with my dogs was obvious to me during each of Julie's visits when, every single time, Kallie would rush to jump on the top of the couch arm rest to get close enough to lick Julie's face hello and by the adoring look that Kacey gave Julie during her hello and goodbye pets. I truly credit Julie's mid-day visits as a huge contributor to Kallie's amazing recovery (she lost 12 pounds, she gained that puppy-like energy back, and she just seemed so much happier as a result of mid-day walks preventing the recurrence of bladder stones) and it was such a relief to me when I was able to go back to work after my injury that I was leaving my girls in the hands of someone I could not only trust, but who my dogs seriously loved At her last visit just prior to our move, Julie left us a drawing of Kallie and Kacey, she even got the details right down to their collars and spots, which was so incredibly thoughtful. In addition to Julie being incredibly, the monster minders office is great too. They are super responsive, reasonable, and generally awesome to deal with. I can't recommend Monster Minders enough. Thank you guys so much for everything! read more

I've used Monsterminders for more than 10 years to care for two (very different) dogs and they really are the BEST of the best! The whole team really cares about your dog - from Carrie, Lindsey and Nikki - to my actual walkers. They are professional, reliable and accommodating. A few years ago, one of my walkers even escorted our dog to our wedding ceremony. And our current walker, Garvin is a true gem. Laidback, responsible, helpful with training ... both of my dogs adore(d) him. I really couldn't ask for a better walking/sitting experience than MonsterMinders. read more

I've been using MM for a while now. They are meticulous with details about getting to know you & your dog(s) and are communicative and accommodating of my wacky schedule. I love the little walk reports after a visit and my dog definitely loves the personalized attention and exercise! The company is responsive and places a lot of emphasis on never leaving anyone high and dry without a walker when there is someone scheduled- it's great to have such a wonderful company have your back! I definitely recommend MM to any dog owner in the city. read more

I know that Joel Embiid is amazing... but Carrie, and the whole team at Monster Minders, are the real MVPs of Philadelphia. While living in South Philly, we worked with Minders Nikki and Alex. They are simply exceptional human beings and professionals who love animals and the work they do. Monster Minders has an incredibly user friendly App/Portal that allows you to schedule/cancel a service and also communicate with the team in case of an emergency. After each walk, you get a lovely note (with pictures!) detailing your pups adventures. It was always the best part of our day and we could see how happy our little guy (okay, kind of big guy) was while we were away. We've said it once and we will say it again, Nikki and Alex were the last thing keeping us from moving away. We miss you!! Use Monster Minders! read more

I don't have enough positive things to say about The Monster Minders! Kerri has walked our furry yellow lab, Colonel, for the last year and everything about the experience has been overwhelmingly positive! They are so reliable, so kind and caring, and truly treat our pup like their own! We had a bit of a wonky schedule that they handled with ease. There was never a SINGLE mess up or confusion! I was so impressed! Kerri always arrives on time and leaves us such kind, thoughtful notes about Colonel that perfectly describe his personality, and I can tell she truly spends time with him and has built a relationship with him. Getting Kerri's notes about her walks with Colonel is one of my very favorite parts of the day! There were a few occasions where Colonel was sick, I was notified immediately, and Kerri even was able to stop by again in the afternoon to make sure he was feeling better. The Monster Minders and Kerri were always available whenever we needed them, and we are forever grateful. We are moving to NYC at the end of June and are devastated to lose them. Colonel will miss Kerri so much, but we feel lucky to have met them. I highly recommend for the best pet care in Philly :) read more

I was nervous to use a dog walker for the first time, since it's such a high level of trust you need to essentially put into a stranger that will be in your home caring for a family member. MM is 2 decades in the business and it shows. Carrie the owner is patient and accessible. I love that you get assigned a specific walker for all walks. Bailey (our minder) is sweet, and great with our new puppy Finn. We love getting the updates and pictures during the day, and it's been such a help as we transition back to the office. They guarantee no matter what, if your walker can't make it, someone, come hell or high water, will be there. I'm so happy with my decision to go with Monster Minders. The peace of mind is priceless, even though i feel the charges for what they provide are MORE than reasonable. This company is best in class. read more

I've used Monster Minders on and off when moving in and out of different areas of Philly over the past few years, and it really has been such a relief finding such wonderful people to take care of my dog. Carrie is one of the most responsive, kind, accommodating, and thoughtful business owners around, and is so easy to communicate with. The scheduling app is a breeze, the organization is impeccable, and the depth with which they get to know and understand your dog is profound. Our Minder Jakub has been a God-send for my dog Josie, who is an extremely anxious rescue with a lot of quirks. Many walkers in the past have quit on her, but Jakub has always treated her with patience and kindness, and is now one of the few people in the world she jumps for joy to see. It really was a blessing working with people who really understand dogs and work with you to meet your unique dog's needs, and I will be forever grateful for all they've done for us! read more

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. My main minder and her occasional fill-in are affectionate and responsible with my pup, and their communication is great - they leave notes after every walk ("Today we went to the park and Lego found a big mushroom!"), and they always inform me well in advance when my regular walker is going to be away or anything else is going on. I am also impressed with the Minders' work with PAWS and their awesome shelter dog running program. A+ all around! read more

Whenever I have the urge to foster another forlorn shelter mutt from the PSPCA or PAWS, Monster Minders is always there at a moment's notice to take him/her for walkies while I'm at work. My minder, Sarah, truly loves animals. She is like a second best friend to my foster dogs. I never have to feel guilty for leaving them alone during the day. MM has some smart customer service features. The walkers leave short but detailed notes about how each day's walk went, plus recently they started posting quick notes online in case you want to hear news about your pet during the day. They also have an online booking system, though so far I haven't used it. Any time I email, I get a response very quickly. And they automatically bill to my credit card and send an email receipt; yay for less wasted paper! Basically MM is everything you could ask for in a pet sitting service, and more. read more

The Monsters Minders is a pet sitting, dog walking, "pet services" team which serves Philadelphia. Before you actually hire them, they'll meet with you (& your pets!) to see how everyone gets along & you discuss your pets personalities, quirks, loves, hates, feeding schedule...the whole she-bang. TMM offer various services - they can walk your dog, pet-sit while you're on vacation, even stay overnight. The prices are definitely reasonable & the sitters are loving & experienced. I hired them to babysit my three cats while I was away on vacation. Upon returning my cats were happy, the litter box clean & my mail was sitting neatly in my kitchen. My "Minder" also left me a little note on how he got along with the cats & the antics he observed. Most (pleasantly) surprising was that my cat who is the most cautious around new people was instantly affectionate with the Minder. She generally hides under the bed from *anyone* she doesn't know well, but never once hid from this Minder during any of his visits! I was really impressed & knowing that my shyest cat absolutely liked & trusted this person was really impressive! I would definitely recommend this team of people to anyone's pets. I'll be sure to go back to them next time I need a pet sitter! read more

The Monster Minders are THE BEST! I try to be organized, but sometimes I fail. In a panic I used their 24/7 online booking system to request an afternoon walk for my dog... on a Saturday... with less than 6 hours notice. Yes, I'm a jerk. Carrie quickly got in touch with my monster's personal minder (shout out to Stephanie). As I type this from the office I can rest easy knowing Stephanie is taking excellent care of my dog. I also feel way less guilty for leaving my pup at home since he loooooves Stephanie and will be super thrilled to see her today. This December will be my 2 year anniversary with MM and I can honestly say I have never had a single complaint. They continue to deliver quality care and lighting fast customer service with a smile. read more

I should have written this review ages ago. These guys have saved me so many times. When I first started with them they were very booked up and so could only do early or late in the week for my area. I just needed some random long work day availability so that was fine for me. To start, you fill out a request form and then they come to your house to meet you and your dog. I could see that my minder, AJ, was really comfortable and relaxed with my dog. My monster isn't so much into new people so I was watching to see if AJ would force the greeting but he just stayed chill until my dog showed some interest. So I've never had them miss a walk. Their billing and online booking system is very professional and importantly, they are VERY communicative about things like weather situations, changes in policy, etc. If your minder goes on vacation they let you know who will be coming instead...it's all very nice. You get a little note at the end of each walk to let you know if your dog peed or pooped and something about how the walk went. Here is the other reason to go with MM. 1) I had the flu once, like a really-bad-probably-should-have-been-hospitalized flu. I called them to come walk my dog in an emergency and for an additional "emergency booking" fee (totally fair) they were able to do that for me. After a few days, I was well enough to walk to the bottom of the stairs to wait for my minder to come get my dog. It was so fun to see my little guy greet his minder, I thought he was going to jump out of his fur with joy when he saw AJ walking up our street. Usually, he won't leave my side but he was off prancing down the street with out even a look back at me. Happiness! I know having more people to be attached to (he's a rescue) the more secure he will become. I noticed that having him walked by MM has contributed to a better demeanor about being left alone. 2) I once came home to a really sick dog who was screaming in pain. When I left for work he was fine. My minder had walked him in the afternoon and left me a very detailed note saying basically that he thought my dog seemed a little under the weather and not so spry but that the walk was otherwise okay. It was so helpful for the diagnosis when I took him into the ER to know the timing of everything and to know that he had been gradually getting ill over the course of the day. As for price, I sometimes find it hard to swing with my budget but of every "non-essential" thing I spend money on in a month, this is absolutely the most valuable to me. read more

The Monster Minders are the best! Their minder Sarah took care of our newly adopted (and scared) greyhound, and he absolutely loved her. She left us awesome notes detailing every aspect of their walks together, and came to walk him in all sorts of nasty weather. A huge thank-you to the Monster Minders and to Sarah especially for making our first year with a pup a wonderful experience. This company is professional from top to bottom, with the added bonus of being the most caring and animal-loving people I know. They are very quick to respond to communication and to accommodate you and your pet's different needs. Plus they are extremely pleasant and lots of fun to boot! I simply can't say enough good about The Monster Minders. If you are looking for a company to take the best possible care of your beloved monster, these are the people for you! read more

Derek (and sometimes Steph) walked Riley for two years until we moved to jersey. I have nothing but great things to say about this company. They are so warm and friendly and always got back to me right away when I asked for last minute walks or changes to the schedule. Riley absolutely loved Derek and Stephanie and I loved reading their notes about their walks when I got home from works everyday. Derek even walked Riley to the church we got married at so we could get photos of us together. He has also walked her to get her hair cut. The best! read more

We recently adopted our pup from a local shelter. He is an awesome dog but had some issues with anxiety due to his past owners. Noises, buses and the city in genreral made him nervous. We had hired a dogwalker who walked other dogs in our building, and he didn't help much. We decided to change to Monster Minders and are so glad we did! Lindsay is great! He spent a lof of extra time working with our pet and helping him get over his issues. It helped so much! We only used them for about 6 months but after that time, our dog was able to walk normally without fear. They only reason we stopped was the fact that we moved outside the city. I would highly suggest trying them. Even when our normal walker was unavailable, the subs were excellent. P.S. They leave you a little note about the adventures your pup had while you were away! Cute notes to keep. :) read more

I can't recommend Monster Minders highly enough. They are incredibly communicative and would respond to our emails immediately with really helpful guidance. We also had a wonderful dog walker, Emily, that treated Molly (our dog) so well that we suspect Molly loved Emily more than my fiancé and me! We also loved getting our daily emails updating us on how our dog did on each walk. We only stopped using the company when we moved to the suburbs and haven't found anything close as good as Monster Minders out on the Main Line. We miss it every day and hope it eventually expands to the suburbs! read more

Monster Minders has been such a stellar company to work with. We have nothing but positive things to say about our walkers and the customer service that they provide. The owners are BEYOND responsive and go above and beyond with communicating any big and little changes that come up. They have navigated all of the changes that COVID has brought with so much communication and care. You can tell they truly care about their walkers, which pays off big time with consistency with walkers. Other companies that we used before finding Monster Minders had a revolving door of walkers coming, which was hard on our pups and a little unsettling for us having so many people coming in to our home. Our minder, Alex, in particular, has been an absolute joy to work with, and it's been great getting to know her better since we've been working from home. She's so great with our pups and works with all of their little quirks. We've been working with Monster Minders for such a long time (I think almost 7 years!), and if we weren't moving out of the area, we'd keep them forever! Leaving Alex is definitely one of the saddest parts of our move! read more

My wife and I recently got a new puppy, Oscar, and were concerned about leaving him on his own all day. We hired Monster Minders to come by twice a day for two short visits to break up his day a little bit. They have been wonderful! Our minder, Nikki, and co-owner Lindsay have been extremely helpful with reinforcing his training and have even helped give us tips to housebreak him quicker. The daily notes left at the house and on their web based system are great. Setting up visits are super easy using the website. Great customer service -- always respond within a few minutes. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! read more

We have used Monster Minders for the last 4 years since we rescued our shepherd pup. Since the very beginning, they have been amazing in helping to raise our pup and keep her safe when we're at work. Nikki specifically has been unbelievable in caring for her and keeping us updated on any and everything that they experience on their walk. We could not endorse Monster Minders, and Nikki, high enough! We love them! read more

I couldn't recommend The Monster Minders more. I've been using them since I adopted my dog four and a half years ago and have had an incredible experience. My Minder, Sarah, is the absolute best - she leaves detailed (and often hilarious) notes about what happens on each walk and has handled the challenges that come with an overzealous beagle with grace. I can tell that she truly cares about my dog, and my dog loves her in return! Would absolutely recommend The Monster Minders for anyone seeking reliable, top-notch dog care. read more

I have to agree. Carrie, our "minder" Jen and the staff of Monster Minders are, indeed, pros. Sure, they cost more than having your neighbor do it, but they walked our 14 year old pug every morning for about 6 months prior to our move to the burbs. I am very thankful to Monster Minders for being there when we needed them. Being able to book online is great, too. And automated billing to your credit card is super-easy! Thank you, Monster Minders! Woof Woof! read more

Moving to Philly from SC, I knew it would be a mild adjustment for my (almost) 5 year-old Lizzie. I spent most of the time leading up to the move stressed about how she would handle spending her days trapped in a 300 sq. ft. studio while I went off to work to earn us both a living (she has been unemployed for going on almost 5 years now). I started using Monster Minders at the recommendation of two colleagues back in January and could not be happier. I work long hours so having a set schedule where Lizzie is walked for 30 minutes Monday-Friday has been such a godsend. I don't want to write a novel, but I do want to call-out some of the reasons I rated the Minders the way I did. 1. Ease of Scheduling: I have had to schedule a second walk on a number of occasions (usually same day) and the team has always been able to make it work. 2. Adorable Notes via Web Portal: I cannot name the number of times I have been caught at work grinning like an idiot reading that Lizzie "took a poop" or "Lizzie for mayor!" 3. Handwritten Notes: For those days I don't have time to log into my account at work, I am always greeted by a handwritten note detailing the time of the walk, what business was done by the princess, and general comments about the walk/weather/behavior. 4. Reliability: I cannot recall a single incident where Lizzie did not receive her weekday walk. I truly do not have to worry about whether or not she was taken care of because if there is ever a reason my walker is sick/out, Carrie and team are able to find someone else to stand in. 5. Not an App, but Real People: I love technology, don't get me wrong, but an app can't provide the level of service I've gotten these last 11 months. A number of times this summer I had trouble with my air conditioner and was concerned it would get too hot for Lizzie in my HUGE 300 sq. ft. studio. During that period I was able to ask that if it were ever too hot during the visit with Lizzie to let me know so I could rescue her. Thankfully I never had to, but knowing that I could ask for random updates like this only validates my decision to go with the Minders over the apps that I could have downloaded from the App Store. TL;DR: Lizzie (she's the dog) and I both love the Monster Minders and highly recommend them for all your pet's needs. Now...if they could just open a Doggie Daycare across the street from me that would be GREEEAAAAT. Thanks guys for all you do! Megan and Lizzie read more

They are the best! Before finding Monster Minders, I used two different dog walking services that started off well, but soon became very inconsistent. With both, I ended up finding out they were shorting the walk times and, in a few cases, not even showing up. I have been using Monster Minders for nearly a year and the dog walkers are awesome, show up on time, and my dog loves them. Their online booking system is really easy, too. I recommend them to all my pet-loving friends. Best dog walking service in the city. read more

I have been using Monster Minders daily walking service for 4 months now and absolutely don't know what I would do without them! ***Pros*** The online client portal is super user friendly *daily notes that include whether my dog went No. 1 and/or No. 2 *great communication with the owners by email (super clear invoicing, you can see the *calendar of your upcoming walks and cancellations so it's easy to plan) Krissy and Derek are both great, I got to meet them and one of the owners at my first appointment when I introduced my pup to them, and they were super straightforward and took notes on my preferences, where my cleaning supplies were, any training techniques I was using on my pup so that they could be consistent with him. This place came with many many recommendations from my coworkers and I'm so glad we went with them! ***Tips*** They do ACH automatic billing, but no credit cards Rates - most affordable walks if you do the M-F daily 20 min walks. read more

Simply the best dog walkers in Philly! We used Monster Minders for about six years and could not have been more pleased. Only reason we had to end services was because we moved halfway across the country. Our Golden Retriever is our baby and we always knew we could trust the amazing staff of Monster Minders to provide her with amazing care and attention. Scheduling and cancelling walks was extremely easy with their easy to use website. Daily notes about our dog's adventures was always a nice treat! Would highly recommend Monster Minders! Surprised they did not charge more! Miss y'all! Let us know when you open a Jawn in FL! read more

I have been using the Minders walking services for just about 4 months now and I have to say how lovely they have been. I'm a new dog mom who has been working out my work schedule/when I need walks for my pup and Carrie has been so accommodating/gracious . I know my pup is in great hands when I'm not there!! Alex and Sarah take care of my fur baby and write me great (and often funny) notes so I can see how his day was. They also take the time to have the Minders meet your pup before their first walk and your dogs profile helps them get to know even the most minute details. Love these guys!!! read more

Ok, there isn't any words that could discribe how amazing this company is! The staff is first class, organized office, accommodating to your requests and down right AMAZING! PAT, walked our Sophie for over a year and he was so kind it my Sophie who is so shy. If you use any other service other than Monster Minders the your doing yourself a disservice. read more

I've been working with The Monster Minders since 2017 and they have been the BEST! My dog, Gabi loves her Minder Jen! She leaves the best notes after their walk. It's so reassuring to know that your pup is in good hands when you can't be there! They are always very accommodating when I need to add extra walks outside of our schedule. The website is super easy to use and very accessible. Carrie and Nikki are always great a responding to my emails and follow up for feedback. I couldn't recommend them more! read more

I used them when I moved to philly from the suburbs in 2018. My dog was 12 and just started losing his hearing. I met Lindsey and the 2 walkers Boots and alex. They were great. You have to pick a 2 hour time frame for the walks. I picked 9-11 and 5-7. I asked Boots to come at 9 am and Alex to come at 6:30 pm. They were able to accomodate me. If they had to work at another job or had an appointment they would tell me if they had to come earlier. they were kind to middy and greeted him before they put on his harness. Then I moved to another area and had to get 2 new walkers. Greg and Cai. They now only did walks from 4-6 latest. Somtimes Middy was sleeping and startles easily because he is deaf. They would never greet him or gently touch him to know they were their. Greg is a chain smoker and many times one of my neighbors would tell me he would stand on the grass and smoke and middy could only go as far as the leash allowed. I had seen him several times in the AM standing on the sidewalk smoking and middy standing there. I asked him if he could come at 9:30 am and he said fine. He would show up at 10:30 or 11. I asked Cai to come at 5:30 and she said she could. But she would show up very friday at 4 and then 4:30 or 5 during week. I told Carrie I needed another walker to come and Cai told her she could come later. She never did. Middy would nip at them at times. He never drew blood. I was there yet Carrie insisted greg said he was bleeding. It got to the point where I had to not only put on his harness but if I went out I would have to put his leash on because they refused. Carrie even had the nerve to tell me Boots and Alex complained about Middy! No way! i only dealt with them and they never had a problem. When a buisness owner starts to find ways to blame you then its time to go. we knew we wanted to change services, finally in January 2020 we did. we got 2 names from people in our building. The one service was booked but would help us with some and the other service I called could also help me. i needed more walks because of an injury. They came exactly at the times I wanted. I did not have to give tem a 2 hour window. So he was on a regular schedule. i could also cancel the day before or even the same day without any penalty. you have to give MM a week! Both services were awesome. They greeted middy. Petted him before putting on harness and leash. Gave him a treat after every walk. they thought he was so sweet and could not belive the problems I had with MM.Middy would sit by the door at the exact times they would come(9 am,1 pm,5 pm and they even covered a few 9 pm for me)he would wag his tail and they would pet him. if he was sleeping they would put a treat in their hand and gently nudge him. I wish I had changed so much sooner! My dog is now happy with his new walkers read more

I've gotten to know The Monster Minders through watching them with my friend's dog and definitely plan to use them when I move to the city. They have this great program for running with shelter dogs and do so much with the community. My friend's Minder Dennis is hilarious and leaves the best notes. Her dog is obsessed with him and he is there rain, shine, or snowstorm! read more

I love these guys. They've been walking for us for the past three years. I found out about them after our old dog walker moved and suggested we try them. I think this was a relief to both us: Things got a little uncomfortable after she busted into our house in the middle of night, while we were sleeping, b/c she thought we scheduled a late-night walk. Anywho, Monster Minders are completely professional and leave detailed notes about the fun stuff that happened on that day's walk. I trust them with my house keys more than some of my family members. Seriously. read more

I love The Monster Minders! I don't have many bills that I enjoy paying, but this is one that I'm happy to pay for the excellent service. Alex has been walking my Penny for the past year, and does a fantastic job. She is enthusiastic, trustworthy, and always goes above and beyond for my beloved little dog. After filling out a detailed dossier about your pet (monster), Monster Minders pairs you with a walker based on your needs. I have the 5X per week walk package, and my Penny gets a walk every M-F afternoon at some point within a two hour window. After the walk, your personal page on the Monster Minders website is updated with a short note, and I enjoy checking in from the office to see how Penny's walk went. The Minder also leaves a handwritten note in your home that is a treat to read after getting home from work. You can manage your account and future walks easily from the website, and adding or removing walks is stress-free. Carrie, one of the owners, also frequently checks in via email in case you need anything, which is much appreciated. I just love that Penny has a nice walk every afternoon while I'm at work. If you are looking for a dog walking service and want to support an excellent small business, look no further than Monster Minders! read more

Dennis was wonderful with Morgan! The way they interacted upon the first meeting was tremendous. From the notes that he wrote online (a couple extra bucks a visit, which made me at ease while I was away) and the detailed notes that were waiting for me upon my return. I would recommend Dennis and The Monster Minders to everyone! read more
