I've used Walkies for over five years and I am obsessed. They are pleasant and kind, reliable, thoughtful, playful, and safe with my babies. They send me tons of pics of my cats while I'm away and keep my mind at ease. read more

We started using Walkies when we rescued our puppy, Griffin! A friend recommended the company and raved about how nice and amazing they were. We gave it a try and I was blown away at how organized and professional they were. The owner reached out and scheduled a meet and greet with Brieon and I instantly knew, she was going to be great! She asked amazing questions and gave me such reassurance that our Griffin was in good hands. We have been so happy with the care and attention they give our fur baby and even send pictures and recaps about the walk daily! It's the little touches that really cemented great this company is. Andrea, Brieon and Dan (fills in when Brieon is on a much deserved break or time off,) are amazing. We were very lucky to find such a great company to help us out and take care of our sweet and crazy pup, Griffin! HIGHLY recommend this company! read more

I would love to leave a detailed review of Walkies, but unfortunately, I called them over a week ago and no one ever called me back. I don't think I would trust anyone that doesn't return calls with my pet. Thanks for nothing. Update: Wow! So, I thought the purpose of Yelp was to post reviews based on one's experience with a particular business. Okay, so, I did that with Walkies and now I'm accused by the owner of being committed to lowering their rating! I guess I should apologize for being honest. I must admit, it's pretty ironic that the owner of Walkies had time to sit down and critique my review of her business which probably took about a thousand more keystrokes than simply returning my telephone call over a week ago. Then, instead of trying to rectify the issue, she tells me flat out she will NEVER return my call. lol. You deserve the 1-star rating I gave you, lady. read more

I'm so glad I found walkies! I have a cat and tend to travel often these days, and both Dan and Ann Marie are excellent about checking up on Xena the warrior princess they provide comprehensive updates during their visit with Xena, are very responsive and communicative about my questions and concerns, and all very knowledgable about pets which brings me peace of mind because I know I can trust them. They have also been extremely accommodating and flexible with some last minute requests, which i really appreciate! I highly recommend walkies for all your pet needs!! Special shoutout to Dan and Ann Marie - xena and I are grateful for you! read more

Very surprised I haven't left a review. I've used Walkies since around 2016 and have had 3 cat sitters. They were all really wonderful. Every time I got back from vacation, her food bowl was filled to the brim and the litterbox was cleaned. Every sitter sent me photos and messages every day to let me know my cat was good. Additionally, Sarah the operations manager is very responsive and gets back to you really fast. This business is very well-run. read more

Walkies is seriously the best of the best!! We have used them in the past when our dog was a puppy and I knew they were great, but this most recent experience really took the cake! My husband and I just came back from a 5 day vacation, during which we used Walkies' services to stay overnight with our dog and cat. Our sitter was Jenna, who went above and beyond to make sure that everything at home was taken care of in our absence. It's always really hard to leave your pets at home when traveling. Our dog, Cash, is used to having someone with him almost all day every day, so I felt terrible leaving him behind while we left to have fun. I told Jenna about my apprehensions and in return she updated me several times every day to ensure I had peace of mind while away. She sent us pictures, texted daily updates including potty breaks and long walks. She even stayed at our house on the last day to have dinner with Cashy when we told her our flight got in super late. She told us that she "didn't want him to have to be alone too long". This is music to a pet owners ears! Finally, someone who loves my furry babies as much as I do! In addition to being a wonderful sitter she also kept our house super tidy. All the mail was perfectly in a pile when we got home, floors were cleaned and the guest room looked like no one had even been there. Jenna and Walkies truly made our vacation SO much better by making it possible to relax because we knew someone was always there for Cash and Thaddeus. I will absolutely use Walkies in the future for walks and overnight stays and would recommend them to anyone ever looking for in home pet care. read more

We had a great experience with the Walkies team this past week when we needed someone to walk our dog mid-day. Sarah Blake, the operations manager, responded to my email within an hour and just as quickly got me set up with an account and dog walker. The setup process was seamless and our meet and greet was quick yet thorough enough to ensure peace of mind that there wouldn't be any issues. Emily Kimble, our dog walker, was so great with our pup! Our lab can be hard to please, slow to warm up to strangers and sometimes just a handful, but he and Emily got along very well. We received an update from Emily as soon as they were done walking and she even brought some packages in for us that had been delivered. Even though walks are scheduled in a time window (only for non-monthly clients), Emily was able to provide a more precise time for the visit which made it easier to plan when to be back home in the evening. We will definitely use Walkies in the future and can't thank the team enough for making the process so easy! read more

I have been using Walkies since 2013 as I travel every week for work. I would never trust any other company with my dogs as Andrea's sitters and walkers are top notch. I am always notified when the walkers have left my home and how my pooches are. I have had several of her employees walk my dogs and every one of them have treated both my house and dogs like it was there. It takes a lot for someone to watch your house and pets while you are away...and this is definitely the right company that hires only the best of the best to walk/stay with pets! Thanks Andrea for all of the hard work you have done and keeping my dogs safe for years! read more

I could not live without Walkies. The owner, Andrea is just about the sweetest and most caring person I've ever met. I've been using her services for just about a year, and even with short notice I'm always able to get a sitter. Sara and Chris have taken care of our beloved cats and have been wonderful! Daily texts with photos and a little summary of their visit is so appreciated when I'm away from my boys. I am currently fostering a pitbull and emailed Andrea in a panic when my cats weren't getting along. She gave wonderful advice and after just a few days everyone is living in harmony. Highly, highly recommended. You can tell Andrea and all the sitters are true animal lovers and really take great pride in the care they give to pets. read more

I couldn't live without Walkies. I have multiple pets (2 dogs, 3 cats) and 2 of the 5 have very special needs. Before I hired Walkies, I was a total mess when I went away. The anxiety was so bad- I could barely enjoy my trip- and that's no way to live. Since I hired Walkies, the worries are all gone! I use their wide variety of services; daily walks for the pups, cat sitting and overnights. They even give my diabetic cat her insulin injections! I find the scheduling super-easy and the staff is very professional. The best news is, when I go away, I never give the pets a second thought- they are in the best possible hands, other than my own! I think my babies love Walkies just as much as I do! read more

Always accommodating, friendly, easy to work with and animal lovers for sure! If you are in need of a reliable and friendly organization to look after your fur babies, Walkies is the way to go! read more

Walkies has made such a difference for my pup and I! He had a regular walker previously and then I went through 3 other walkers and walking services until I found Walkies!! I love that my pup has an assigned walker who got to know him and truly cares about him. His walker is Jenna and she is very sweet! She also sends me text updates letting me know how their walk went that day. I don't have to worry at all about rushing home after work or how my pup is doing during the day because of Walkies (THANK YOU!). The prices are very reasonable and totally worth it! They are also super convenient with scheduling and making payments. So happy to have found Walkies!!! read more

I can not say enough about Walkies! My wife and I took our first vacation away from our kitties and our sitter Sara was great! She was on time, professional, and followed my neurotic instructions for our four cats without batting an eye. She sent texts after each visit (with pics), which was great for my peace of mind, as it was our first time using a pet sitter. read more

I've known the owner, Andrea for over 20 years and she is dedicated to animals. She rubs a wonderful business and I can recommend her enough. read more

Walkies is worth every penny! When my husband and I adopted our retired racing greyhound, Pepper, we knew she would be left alone for longer than we wanted while we were both at work. I met Andrea (the owner) previously and began using Walkies in December of 2013. We started out using the service sporadically when I was working from home. We would eventually use Walkies full time when my work hours changed. We had several walkers throughout our time with Walkies, though the same person usually walked Pepper each day. Whenever a new walker was introduced into the mix, he or she came to the house to meet us and Pepper first. I cannot say enough good things about Walkies and their walkers. All of their employees are competent, trustworthy, caring, and truly love animals. Each walker always gave me a daily update after the walk was complete, sometimes with pictures! Andrea is so flexible and an excellent communicator. I never hesitated to ask questions or adjust our service as our situation changed. When Pepper broke her foot a few weeks ago, Andrea even offered to switch our walker to someone with veterinary tech experience while Pep was in a cast. I would recommend Walkies without reservation to anyone who needs help giving their pets the love and attention they need! read more

I recently went away for the weekend and enlisted Walkies to help care for my home/pets. Normally, going away even for a weekend is stressful, I have two cats & two dogs with various personalities & needs. Scheduling times and speaking with Andrea (the owner) were very positive experiences, she truly cares for all animals and strives to make it a relaxing experience for all. Kara stayed at my home for the weekend and gave me a detailed email about all of their walks, feedings and play time. 5 stars isn't enough to cover how great it felt to leave all of my buddies with someone who truly cared and made their weekend so much fun..I came home to some VERY relaxed and happy pets..I LOVE WALKIES!! read more

Walkies is the BEST, BEST, BEST! We contacted walkies when we adopted a 2 month old westie puppy and quickly realized we would need an extra set of hands to help us out during the day! Val came to our house for a meet and greet. She met our 2 dogs and 2 cats, asked lots and questions and took notes - major plus she didn't get scared when our new crazy puppy pooped on the floor right in front of her :)!! Val has made such a difference in keeping the dogs on a set routine during the week! She even housesat/puppysat for us while we were getting married in Jamaica - it put us at ease to know that she was with the guys giving them lots of treats and love. My husband can be a worrier and Val always keeps him calm with texts when needed! Walkies is flexible and reliable - wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

I cannot give Walkies enough stars . My 1 yr old pup gets lots of anxiety when being around new people and Meg is just absolutely wonderful w him and I. I always receive a text after my pup's walk. Sarah the scheduler responds quickly and is very accommodating . There are so many dog walking companies in northern liberties / old city /fishtown and I have read countless reviews on them and I am so glad I went with Walkies! read more

Walkies are a life saver! I've been using them for about 4 months now for walks during the day for my puppy. They are so accommodating to my schedule and any requests I have. First they do a meet and great with your dog before they start performing the routine walks. They went out of their way on a Sunday so they could ensure I would be able to start scheduling my walks the very next day on Monday. They also just walk your dog by itself instead of grouping it together with other dogs' walks, so I know that my dog is getting great individualized attention. I'm so happy knowing that my pup is in good hands while I'm at work and can't take care of them on my own! read more

Walkies and The Cat Peeps is seriously the best. I have Meg watch my two cats whenever we go out of town and she always stays in touch and sends me pictures of the cats while we are gone to let us know that they are safe and sound. They are seriously the best - I would definitely recommend them for any dog or cat sitting services! read more

Love the staff. Personable, reliable, and responsive. They really need a new scheduling system as I can't even enter the schedule my dog needs in their current setup so I imagine others have issues as well. Easy to overlook for the service though. read more

My husband and I hired walkies to stay at our house with our three pugs and one cat whilst we were away. The sitter fed and watered them, plus walked them every day. She was also very good with taking notes, she wrote a 'dog blog' and kept in touch with me via text while we were gone. Our furry kids seemed to be very pleased. read more

Walkies is fantastic. I've been meaning to write a positive review for them for a while, so I am finally doing it. I first found Walkies about a year ago after adopting two cats. I was stressed out about what to do with my cats while I was on vacation, and since my family is very allergic to cats, the options were either housing them at the vet or finding a cat sitter. After some google research, I found Walkies, and SO happy I did! Not only is my sitter from Walkies the nicest, but they are very accommodating, even on short notice before holiday weekends. Before for your first sitting, they have the sitter come to your apartment to meet you, your pet, and get the lay of the land as well as any special instructions they need to know about taking care of your pet. Not only will they change the litter and feed the cats, but they also will take out your trash, pick up your mail, turn lights on/off etc. if you need them to, for no extra charge. My sitter is also so sweet and will clean up the litter that always manages to scatter all over my floor. And they also play with the cats. They also leave nice/cute notes for you about the cats so when you get back you have a nice summary of how they did. Overall, I can't say enough positive things about Walkies. They have made my life a lot easier. If you are looking for someone to watch your pet while you're away, I would definitely recommend Walkies! read more

I have been using Walkies for more than a year, but just occasionally, as needed. They have always been able to accommodate my needs, even on short notice. I appreciate the texts from the walkers and feel 100% confident in their services. Definitely a 5-star service! read more

We absolutely love Walkies. Devon visits our two cats whenever we are away, even if it's just overnight. She loves animals and is just a really nice person. She even sent emails and photos of the girls when we were on our honeymoon. We're so glad to have her help! Scheduling is really convenient and the owner, Andrea, is very responsive anytime I have a question or concern. read more

Let me start off by saying, Walkies is the absolute best! The overnight service is the most convenient thing I could ever imagine - having just taken advantage of this for the first time, my pet sitter Sarah gave me the easiest and most stress-free "out of town" experience that I have EVER had! As a former client of the Philly Pet Hotel (still love them!), I recently moved to Fishtown and no longer have a car... It is such a relief and amazing convenience to know that my dog son is being taken care of in my absence in the comfort of our own home! Sarah and business owner Andrea are both a joy to work with. Could not recommend enough! read more

I truly heart walkies. My walker Heather is fantastic. They really are animal people and you can rest assured your critter is in good hands. This place is great. I would give them ten stars if I could! read more

I dont know what Id do with Andrea, Sarah and the Walkies peeps!! They are so unbelievably accommodating when it comes to walking my rambunctious little guy, Bruno. There have been many days when I know I will be stuck at work or school late but I can always rely on Walkies to make sure Bruno is walked and fed! Andrea and Sarah have been so reliable, flexible and really friendly to top it off. They truly make me and Bruno's life so much easier :) read more

We use Walkies for my boss's dog(s), and they are the best! They are flexible, accommodating to the many changes we make, and so pleasant to communicate with. We have a crazy schedule, and they have always come through for us, even at the very last minute. Clare is a great walker, and Sarah is so understanding and helpful. They really go above and beyond in all ways. I couldn't recommend them more! read more
