The Pet Nanny Walking, visits, play, and house sitting in Fairmount, Francisville, Brewerytown and East Falls. We love dogs, cats, birds & critters.

We do not have daycare or overnight boarding. Gina Downs established “The Pet Nanny” in 2001 and quickly became known throughout Philadelphia's Art Museum/Fairmount/ Brewerytown area as the most professional, reliable and dedicated provider of pet care services. Since then, the company has grown to accommodate as many as 100 pet visits per day with 10 additional staff members on call, a newly built and licensed dog park/play facility, and a full range of pet care services available seven days a week.

Spring is around the corner & so are pet pantries for owners in need of gently used & new supplies that are dog and cat owners. This year, the PN will be more vocal & active to help other pet owners locally.

Do you have any:
🐾Gently used leashes, harnesses or collars for dogs or cats?
🐶Do you have any coats, sweaters or beds gently used?
🐈‍⬛Perhaps you would like to donate cat food, litter, or boxes?
🧸🦴How about new or gently used dog & cat toys?
🦮Would you like to donate to LIFE: lifesaving initiative funding efforts or to Women’s Animal Center and their respective pantries and wish lists?

I actively partner with both of these organizations & would love to see their pantry work and broader missions be very successful.

I’m happy to pickup donations. Text or message me in Time to Pet (TTP) if you have gently used donations. Thank you for being a Pet Nanny client!

An ole friend came to visit the Pet Nanny today…we took Simten to a cat she frequently cared for when working with the PN. Following her accident on 5.10.24 and her emergency brain surgery, Simten has been recovering physicallly, cognitively, & working on her language skills- especially translation.

As we approached the house, she recognized the neighborhood block, front door, & home layout. She recognized Kristoff too. Simten recognized the toys nearby & even found the feather toy in its hiding place- all on her own! She really enjoyed her time w/Kristoff.

After the cat visit, we called a dog client together whom she frequently walked & left a message. It was great to see Simten back in the environment that brought her so much joy when working at The Pet Nanny.

Much continued well wishes to Simten & thank you to all of you who have been asking about her. Her GFM is still open if interested: https://gofund.me/b39455bdf
