Pups on Passyunk is the best dog walking service weve ever used. Our dog is reactive, and they were accommodating with him from the start and have been walking him for five years. We couldnt recommend them more!

Ive been using Pups on Passyunk for 5 years. Our dog is reactive around other dogs, but Brian has been a reliable, calming force for him. He looks forward to seeing Brian for his mid day walks and we look forward to his great updates. Cant recommend Pups on Passyunk enough!

I've been using Pups on Passyunk for regular mid-day walks for almost three years now, and I highly recommend them. The team is incredibly communicative and responsive. Their app/portal is so easy to use for scheduling, messages, and payment. We've had a handful of walkers assigned to us over the years, but two in particular have been stellar. We currently have Ian walking our pup and he is so kind and shares the most thoughtful and entertaining messages after each walk.
