Pet Sitting & Pet Care - Dog Walker and Sitter - Philadelphia, PA
Whether it's a long workday, busy activity schedule, or vacation/holiday/business trip, your pets will be cared for in the familiar surroundings of their home. This noticeably reduces stress and leads to a happier pet.
Northeast Philadelphia Pet Sitting & Pet Care is the premier dog walking and pet sitting service in Northeast Philadelphia.
We offer services to fit your needs. A dog walks while you are at work makes for a more relaxed pet when you arrive home in the evening. When you travel on business or pleasure, pet sitting not only allows your pets the comforts of home, it also deters intruders as your home is visited on a regular basis.
My name is Mark Taplar, the founder of Northeast Philadelphia Pet Sitting & Pet Care.
I have owned animals for over 30 years and have volunteered at the PSPCA, American Bullmastiff Rescue, and American Bulldog Rescue. I currently have three dogs and 7 cats, all rescues.
I know from personal experience how difficult it is to leave your beloved pet(s) for many hours at a time.
My vision is to make this experience as pleasant as possible for both you and your pet(s). Your pet(s) will be cared for as a member of our family. Visits are scheduled to meet your needs. We offer a service that you can depend on!
