🐾 A Pet Parent’s Guide to Busy Philly Work Schedules

How We Can Help You & Your Fur Family Thrive

Philadelphia is a vibrant place to live, work, and play — but between long commutes, packed meeting schedules, and juggling life in the city, pet parents often struggle to balance career demands with caring for their furry companions. Whether you’re in Center City, Manayunk, or in Germantown, Philly’s Paws & Claws is here to support you and your pet every step of the way.

The Daily Pet Parent Challenge

Work schedules can be unpredictable — early mornings, late nights, and days full of virtual or in-office meetings can leave pets lonely and bored at home.

Here’s how Philly’s Paws & Claws helps you stay present at work without worrying about your fur baby:

🐶 1. Flexible Doggy Day Care

Day care is one of the best solutions for pets who get restless while you’re out. We offer both half and full-day day care options, so your dog gets playtime, walks, meals, and socialization even on your longest workdays. 📸 With daily photo updates to keep you connected and give peace of mind when the workday is especially hectic.

🏠 2. Dog Walks & In-Home Visits

Not every pet needs full daycare — but many benefit from breaks during the afternoon slump. Our dog walking and visit services provide exercise, bathroom breaks, and companionship during mid-day, giving pets a boost and breaking up long hours alone.

Matching service windows to your schedule means your pet doesn’t have to wait until you get home to stretch their legs!

🚕 3. Pet-Taxi Service

Whether it’s a vet appointment, grooming appointment, or transferring from day care to home, the pet-taxi service is ideal when your schedule doesn’t allow for those extra pickups and drop-offs. This helps eliminate one more stressor — transportation logistics — from your busy routine!

🛌 4. Boarding for Trips & Holidays

Planning a business trip or weekend getaway? Philly’s Paws & Claws offers comfortable boarding stays where pets can play, rest, and be cared for while you’re away.

Daily activities, feeding, and even medication administration are all handled by our trusted professionals, so you can travel without worry.

🐾 5. House Sitting & Grooming

Not every pet is a day-care fan. That’s okay! We can visit your home to check in on pets, feed them, administer meds, or simply provide companionship while you’re working late.

💡 Tips for Busy Philly Pet Parents

Here are a few simple ways to make pet care fit your schedule:

• Plan weekly recurring services so you’re not booking day-to-day.

• Use photo updates and reports to stay involved even when you’re on the go.

• Coordinate boarding around holidays — these spots fill up fast in Philly.

• Try doggy daycare first before a longer boarding stay so your pet gets comfortable.
