Good afternoon Dana!
I think I woke Gus up when I walked in, haha! He looked so startled, but immediately went to happy mode with a few kisses to offer.
We had a nice stroll over to Gold Star Park, where we got to relax in the grass together. Gus is always such a delight to walk! He’s truly such a gentle giant, haha. Once we got back, I let the good boy eat, gave him a treat and made sure to refill his water bowl before heading out.
Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the weekend!

What clients say
“Highly recommend. Super reliable. Love the daily pics and notes. The online portal is really easy to use, and the set up was quick and easy.”
“The best dog walking service we’ve ever used. Our dog is reactive, and they were accommodating with him from the start.”
“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 and messages.”
