Founder, Head of Operations

My name is Jessica but they call me Jess or Jessy. I was born and raised here in South Philly - with Mexican/Ecuadorian roots!

I grew up loving animals, any type at all! I had hamsters, fish, turtles, birds, cats, and of course… dogs!! And through all that, I sadly suffered a lot losing my babies little by little, so I believe that’s why I grew with so much love towards animals.

I never gave up on the idea of being able to help animals, so I started Funtime 4 Pups to be able to help out pup parents and also see pups happy and tired on the daily!

In my personal life, I value my family a lot, and animals of course! And I love doing arts and crafts, and having a nice walk while listening to music too!

one day, back in November 2020, Jessy was scrolling on Tiktok (gotta love it) and saw a video posted by a dogsitter raving about their job. This immediately caught Jessy’s attention because she loves dogs and grew up with a house full of them!

With Andy’s support and encouragement, Jessy and Andy started taking care of dogs in Philadelphia. To their happy discovery - clients were over-the-moon, soooo enthusiastic about the care their dogs received! Most commonly, pup parents were deeply impressed by the quality of actual PLAYTIME & FUN in the fresh air that their dogs got to experience while with Jessy, Andy, and their doggie BFFs.

At one point, Jessy and Andy took care of 22 dogs (yes, 22!!!) and genuinely loved every minute of it. That was the magical moment confirming they were truly meant for this calling! Jessy and Andy launched Funtime 4 Pups, a unique park playtime trip service ,doggy daycare and boarding services for dogs in Philadelphia - and made their dream of caring for pups into a reality.

We are so passionate and energized by taking care of your dogs and helping them have so much fun playtime, because it is an honor to be a part of your support system. None of us are superheroes and can accomplish everything alone. Our goal is to make your daily life way easier!

Being a dog guardian can be a very tough and difficult at times. So many clients we have helped have expressed that vulnerable feeling of just needing support! Let us take care of giving your dog the funnest playtime trip ever! (We even offer pickup/dropoff for your ease )

When you trust Funtime 4 Pups with your dogs, know that we are 100% committed to delivering an AMAZING, FUN experience for your pups like no other service provider does! We always look for the best places in the city to facilitate that freedom and playtime which dogs absolutely LOVE.

Our attention to detail and the way we truly treat each dog as an individual helps us make the best decisions for their enrichment, activity, and joy!

Partner, President of Playtime

My name is Andrea but they call me Andy. I was born in Mexico before moving to the U.S., right here in Philly, back in 2015!

I LOVE meeting new dogs and all of their different personalities. Each and every pup is such a unique individual and that’s exactly how I treat them!

My favorite part about what I do is seeing how much fun the dogs have playing!

I’m very athletic - I love going hiking and playing soccer. My lifestyle is very active, so I am super hands-on and involved to make sure all the dogs that come to us have a fun time!

I also am also your pup’s private driver chauffeur for pickups and drop-offs :) Safety and your dog’s comfort when I am driving is always my top priority.
