Great experience! Jim was available on relatively short notice to check in on our two cats while we were away on vacation. He was kind, professional and totally down to earth. Clearly an animal lover. Our cats took to him right away. We loved the text updates! Looking forward to using Puppy Butler in the near future. Update: just wanted to say thank you to Tara for taking such great care of Pearl and Luey. Your warmth and love for animals is so evident. I enjoyed your funny text updates as well. Thanks again you guys!
I can’t say enough good things about Jim and The Puppy Butler! They have been incredibly professional, helpful, and reliable from Day 1. My one year-old rescue dog LOVES his walks and playtime with Jim, and is always relaxed and happy when I come home from work. I love Jim’s personalized text and video updates, as well! As a first-time dog owner, having Jim and The Puppy Butler on my “team” gives me great peace of mind and helps me feel more supported and confident on my journey. I highly recommend The Puppy Butler to any pet owner!
Have been very happy with Jim & The Puppy Butler. They are responsive, reliable and professional. Feel very comfortable with them in my home and with my beloved pup! They're always very understanding of my schedule & accommodating to requests. They always give me plenty of heads up, if my dog's usual walker is ever away. They are very personable and highly recommend.
We used Jim and The Puppy Butler just this past week while we were on vacation. Jim came and let our 4 dogs out every day at the time I asked him to. He sent me videos and pictures of my girls outside in the yard having a great time. Our dogs are our children so there is no better feeling than to know they are so well taken care of while we are gone. We are newer to the area and feel so lucky to have found Jim. Do not hesitate to hire The Puppy Butler if you are need of any pet sitting needs. I will recommend him to everyone in the area! Thanks so much Jim!
Hiring the Puppy Butler has been an amazing choice for us! Jim is always professional and flexible. Jim is excellent with communication and always sends a picture or video of the walk to keep me informed. I am so happy to have found the Puppy Butler for our puppy Theo! I definitely recommend!
The folks from The Puppy Butler are fantastic! This was the first time we left our 2 young cats at home to go away on a vacation — and The Puppy Butler made us feel completely at ease & that our kitties were in the best of hands. They sent us twice-a-day detailed updates with adorable photos & videos (they even played with the cats and kept them so entertained!). They fed the cats just like we described, perfectly cleaned out the litter boxes, and the apartment was spotless. Best of all, we came back home to 2 very happy and relaxed cats, which is the ultimate proof of just well they were lovingly cared for. We will certainly continue to use The Puppy Butler every time we go out of town!
The whole team at The Puppy Butler has been phenomenal! Our dog and cats just love everyone who comes to care for them when we are away. The Puppy Butler team are true dog and cat lovers, who have a real gift when it comes to working with animals. Not to mention just how reliable, friendly and trustworthy they are. I really can’t say enough good things about these people!
My husband and I never left our 7 year old cat Lola with anyone other than a family member so needless to say we were very nervous! However The Puppy Butler did an amazing job not only easing our anxieties but making us feel very comfortable with our decision. The Puppy Butler was reliable and updated us with pictures and videos of Lola during our time away. It was so reassuring to see our cat be comfortable and enjoying new company! We will definitely be using in the future!
If you are in need of a pet sitting service, look no further. The Puppy Butler is the best of the best! They are true animal lovers and are the most honest, reliable, and competent pet professionals I’ve ever met. Simply put, I wouldn’t trust leaving my 3-year old bulldog with anyone else. I’ve faithfully and exclusively used The Puppy Butler for walks, sitting, and overnight boarding for a while now, and have recently just started using them for their new active offleash playtime sessions as well. I so look forward to receiving the adorable photos and videos they send me each day, as it’s such a delight seeing my little chunky furball running around free in nature on their beautiful lawns. Perhaps the most impressive thing of all is that with their expertise, they have successfully managed to somehow get my extra-stubborn bulldog actually excited and engaged for a full hour of energetic playtime each day (although it does result in some serious snoring when he’s taking his post-playtime doggy nap…). I honestly can’t recommend The Puppy Butler highly enough!!
I have been using The Puppy Butler since the business first opened and could not be more pleased with the service. The owner is always on time and has a great relationship with my dog (I think Marley likes the owner better than me!). Marley is leaner and healthier than ever thanks to The Puppy Butler! I am excited to try to boarding and grooming features as well. I would recommend The Puppy Butler to everyone!
I love Furry Buddies! Our two whippet dogs had the best team of walkers: Tracey, Corbey, Brian, and Carol Ann! Each walker treated our pups with kindness, gave them treats and toys, and absolutely left an impression. The dogs would wag their tails at the front door when a furry buddy walker was at the door! Truly excellent service, always on time, and reliable, and great value. I always felt comfortable and trusted the walkers. Very much recommend their services.
I used Furry Buddies for around 7-8 years. Everyone I met was kind, caring and extremely reliable. They communicated well and if one of the staff was planning a day off and they provided a replacement. I felt so comfortable and relieved knowing they were with my dog,Lexi. They would call or text me if they noticed anything different about her. Their daily notes were great and when I had to say goodbye to her at 15 years old I received cards and beautiful gift from her walker amd the owner made a donation in her memory to a local rescue. This is the best organization to help you care for your pet. It is a great price for what they do. Much more than just a “walk” they provide a loving - compassionate reliable service. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you CaroleAnne
Tina is the best! sometimes we think our cat likes her more than she likes us! Always reliable and the cat isn't stressed when we return so we know she feels safe and cared for.
Carole Anne is caring, responsible and professional. She was referred to me by a neighbor a few years ago and I was impressed by her approach with my 2 cats, one of which is extremely high maintenance. Highly recommend her.
Love this service. Dog watchers are trustworthy and follow directions perfectly. They call love animals, and it shows. Plus, they offer to help with things like collect the mail, water plants, and more.
My cat sitter Tina is totally responsible and caring and goes above and beyond I feel really confident when I come home that my cat is safe and my home is has been protected
Back when we were living in Oreland we used these fine folks to walk our late and beloved dog Spencer. Fantastic staff who are enthusiastic and punctual.
Mary was wonderful with Hugh. He's shy on top of being an elderly, rather creaky old boy but she was endlessly patient and always looking out for his best interests.
Maureen and CaroleAnne are the best! They have been amazing and most accomadating to my zoo crew!
The owner is highly insulting and harasses her customers. She called twenty times just to confirm two visits. The subcontractor agreed to meet after the visits were completed and then declined. After all this, the owner wanted to charge extra.
We love Howls and Meows! Colleen takes care of Harper like she’s one of her own. Harper starts to bark as soon as she’s pulling in the driveway and never has any hesitation when we leave. Colleen is responsive, sends us pics/videos and has a great Instagram account where we see can what’s happening with our pup while we’re away. Best thing is that Harper always has a friend at Howls and Meows like Squeegie and Biggie Paws :-)
We were initially looking for a place to bring our puppy for overnight boarding that didn't seem like 'doggie jail', and we have been so happy with Howls and Meows! Our crazy dog is definitely more comfortable in their home-like environment than she would be in a kennel. The pricing makes sense, and the business owner has consistently taken great care of our girl when we are out of town. Their flexibility for boarding, overnight in-home sitting, and ability to care for our cats when needed makes it an easy choice!
I have two cats Laverne and Shirley. Colleen is absolutely fantastic! She is always available and very professional. Whenever she is pet sitting she always texts me videos and pictures. She also lets me know how my girls are doing. My one cat Vern is very shy and hides when anyone comes over. Colleen was able to build a relationship with Vern so that she is comfortable. My girls love her! I highly recommend using Colleen and her company for your pet sitting needs!
Howls and Meows and Colleen always take great care of our dog Nelson. There are always other dogs to play with and plenty of space to run around. Highly recommend!
Colleen is wonderful with our dog, Bruce! He’s a 2 year old lab mix who is full of energy and needs plenty of play time. He gets so excited the minute we pull up to her house- he loves going there! Best of all, Colleen has been such a help as we recently found out Bruce has epilepsy. She was right there with us sending suggestions and advice from her years of experience with similar dogs. She’s one of the few people we feel comfortable caring for him when we are away. I know she monitors his medicine schedule and makes sure he’s comfortable in a large crate in case he has a seizure at night. She really goes above and beyond for her clients. You can tell she cares for the animals as if they were her own pets!
Colleen and her business has been such an absolute blessing to our family since we brought our puppy home two months ago. As my father in law says, "She's like the Mary Poppins of dog walkers!" Colleen radiates positivity and kindness and I think she adores our puppy just as much as he loves her. Not only is Colleen always dependable she reliable, she has wonderful communication in updates for our puppy, goes above and beyond by setting up puppy playdates, and has even helped out with little things around the house while she's over (bringing up trashcans, cleaning up after the cat--- she's simply amazing). A couple weeks ago we had a family medical emergency. Colleen was so compassionate and incredible. She came back after her normal hours, packed up our puppy and his things, and boarded him at her place for a few days while we dealt with our emergency. Never did she ask for specifics on when I would be picking up our dog, or bog us and down with questions and demands. We just felt understanding and care from her, and it was such a relief knowing our puppy was in the best hands and we didn't need to worry about a thing. She even sent cute little photo updates on our puppy that were a silver lining in a otherwise very bad time for us! We are so beyond happy with Howls & Meows and can't recommend them enough. Give it a shot and see just how quickly Colleen becomes more than just a dog walker, but a part of your family!
We found Colleen through a Google search, gave her a call, and based on her knowledge, experience, and confidence, we decided to try it out. We went and met with her, saw her home and yard, and were reassured this would be much better than leaving our puppy at a kennel. We were right. She's great, a pack leader so our dog is always safe, and just a nice person. Her rates are reasonable and our dog always comes home happy and tired.
Colleen has gone above and beyond taking care of our Frenchie while we were away. She truly treats these dogs as if they were her own. This was our first time leaving our pup and she checked in everyday, communicated about necessary things, and just gave our dog so much love. Can’t recommend her enough!!
We love the service Colleen provides through Howls and Meows Pet Sitting for our dog, whom she walks every day. Colleen is professional, communicative, super reliable, flexible, honest, and LOVES pets, especially our dog. We work and our dog is often home alone during the day. It's a huge relief to know that our dog will get some TLC during the day. I love that Colleen sends a note after every visit. Hire her! You'll wonder why you ever dealt with other dog walkers or pet sitters.
Colleen is great. She's really in tune with reading dog body language and genuinely loves dogs. She will set up a meet and greet with your dog and hers to make sure everyone will get along. I ended up really appreciating this part, as it made me feel a lot better about leaving my 10 month old puppy for a week. My puppy was actually excited to be dropped off afterwards, because she was excited to play with her new friend Squeegee. She was really responsive and the rates were reasonable. I would definitely take my dog here again.
We’re very happy with DogTalk for both daycare and boarding. Our dog comes home happy and relaxed. Arranging plans through the app is easy and our dog always goes right in at the gate, anticipating a good time.
Theresa is great - you can tell she really cares about the dogs. I love how the daycare is crate free. It’s really easy to get in touch with the staff and to schedule services.
The owner, Theresa is the best and treats my fur baby as if she were her own.
Morty!
I highly recommend LMDDC! My cattle dog mix, Finley, is full of energy and loves to “rough house” play. On two occasions, they called me to let me know they had pulled him from group play because he was getting a bit too rowdy with the other dogs - I really appreciated their proactive approach! Their ability to read the dogs behavior and intervene/de-escalate situations before they go too far is impressive and not something you find at every daycare. At a previous facility, Finley was bitten multiple times in just one year because the staff didn’t intervene quickly enough. Since coming to LMDDC, we haven’t had any incidents in the two years he’s been attending, and I feel completely safe leaving him in their care. From the very first visits, the staff recognized him by name when we arrived and they provide daily report cards that detail their temperament, who they played with, and more. It’s the little things like this that make such a difference. You can tell that the staff cares deeply about the dogs and loves what they do.
I don't usually take the time to write reviews (I know that's terrible) but with Love My Doggy Day Care I have to... I rescued my dog Sunny (10 Ib pom mix) over a year ago. Before he came to me, he spent the first 6 years of his life either in a basement alone or being physically abused. When I rescued him it was the height of covid. I was working from home every day and knew I could provide him a safe, comfortable home w/ all the cuddles and attention. However, in February I was asked to start coming back into the office. To say I was so scared about what to do with my Sunshine is a complete understatement. I rescued this sweet boy and he was staying with me no matter what, but I needed to figure out the best accommodations for him while I was at work. A friend of mine (the President of Home At Last Dog Rescue) recommended Love My Doggy. The first few times I dropped him off were hard on each of us, however, when I picked him up he was happy & tired. Since those first February days, I have never once worried about him once I dropped him off. Sure I miss him terribly during the day, but every single time I pick him up, the staff are the most loving, gentle, and understanding towards both him and I. He is being loved in all the ways he should have been during those first 6 years by the Love My Doggy Staff (and myself) and for that I am so thankful. He deserves it. Sunny has come such a long way. He is a calmer, happier dog. The love he receives at LMDDC has transformed him. To say I am a big fan is an understatement. If you have the ability/finances to drop your baby off ever once an awhile, I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much, LMDDC. <3 Monica & Sunny
My Mom brought her crazy and VERY overgrown Chihuahua there this week and he came out looking like a new puppy! She was VERY happy with the service provided, and care given to her little old man of a dog.
Delightful staff and yes, the dogs come out smelling like dogs. That’s because they are playing the whole time and having a blast. If you don’t like that, can get an exit bath.
The staff are fantastic. They love the animals. They seem to really know each, individual dog & truly care. Biggest issue is the place really smells badly. As a place with dozens of dogs running around, smell is expected. However, here, it's overwhelming. My dog leaves with odor strong enough the car windows need to be open on the ride home & a full bath is needed when we get home. I didn't have the time for nightly baths, so I finally found an alternate place, particularly for the summer months. I wish I could do all my daycare there, since it is a good place with a wonderful staff & owner.
The staff is very nice and they take the necessary precautions up front to make sure your dog is safe and adjusts well to doggy day care. Before COVID when we dropped off in the lobby my female who had bad anxiety got use to being there overtime and after taking her there for several weeks she was actually so excited to see the people at the front. This made me feel so much better about dropping her off. After one month she finally did so well she was able to play with the other dogs, this was huge because she was very stressed and had bad separation anxiety after losing her brother and litter mate to cancer. Several months later we got a new puppy and we now take him there. The feedback I get from the staff is great so far and he comes home all tuckered out which is a beautiful thing! My only peace of feedback would be sometimes they come a little smelly or if they are outside sometimes little muddy. I’m sure this is hard to prevent so I am understanding of it. A extra bath is worth a tired and less crazy puppy! 😁
Loki, my Great Pyrenees, is well taken care of here. They are super communicative and they treat your pet like their own.
I recently boarded all three of my dogs for a long weekend and it was a great experience. Stacey and the staff and extremely knowledgeable. Stacey has many years of experience and it shows. Her expertise in dog behavior was evident. I was very comfortable leaving all of my dogs in her care. Two of my dogs take medications and the staff was able to administer all of the medications without any problems. One of my dogs is also dog aggressive and can be difficult to give medication to but the staff handled him without a problem. I would absolutely use Love My Doggy Day Care in the future and will recommend them to anyone looking for a boarding or doggy day care facility.
We use LMDDC for dog walking and grooming, and we are always satisfied with their care and love for our sweet girl! We have a very anxious dog who is slow to warm up, but Bryl was amazing and came out several times just to meet her and get her used to being walked by him. We also get updates of confirmations that she got her walk (sometimes pictures too). She also always looks great after her groom! They listen to our requests and she always turns out looking beautiful.
I have been sending my little dog to Love My Doggy Daycare for over 4 years and just LOVE it! the staff is beyond caring about my dog. And, I really like that they separate big and little dogs. My guy is tired out after all the fun he has whenever he goes to play. Plus, the groomers are top notch! I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Always kind and competent taking care of my 3 different cocker spaniels. Totally happy with Liz' service. Have been cared for by Liz now for 6 years...walks, day care, boarding and ALWAYS excellent care. For cat at home and dog all services.
Liz is awesome - super reliable/professional and my dog is obsessed with her. When he was a puppy she would help with his training and reinforce everything we were teaching him. Now he goes for quality walks with her and comes back tuckered - quite an accomplishment for an Australian Shepherd! We are so lucky to have her!!
My sister in an incredibly strong and trustworthy woman❣️ She's fun, happy, supportive, extremely responsible- and GREAT with kids and animals❣️❣️ She's the best mother I know, and definitely the best pet sitter/ pet nanny. She's been taking care of business and holding things down in East Falls for a while. Lizzie is extremely friendly and affable and beloved. She loves her life and her company. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED & Please Respect❣️❤️🐩🐕🦮🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛🐇
We love Pamper and play! We have used their service for walking our dog and for housesitting. In both cases we found Liz and her team to be reliable, responsible and loving toward our dog. I also love how we can book a dog walk once in a while when we realize we're going to be gone for a long day. Liz is as happy and responsive to do a oner-off walk as to be coming regularly. The folks that housesit for P&P are wonderful. (TJ is great!_ I can tell they really bond with our dog. I highly recommend Pamper & Play. You won't regret it!
Liz is an incredible pet sitter! She loves others pets and cares for them like they're a part of her family! Wouldn't want anyone else to take care of our two big dogs and many cats! Not to mention our bunny and reptiles! She's amazing!
I can’t say enough good things about this service. My dog was well cared for and she even took her at short notice. In fact she sent me feedback while I was away so I knew that my dog was ok. My beloved Phoebe just had to be put down and I received a sympathy card. I was so touched. Liz truly loves animals and provides a wonderful service for pet owners. Very caring and competent. I highly recommend!
I had an amazing experience with Liz every time that I've asked her to watch my pup! I love that she offers pick up and drop off service for overnight visits. She could not make her services anymore convenient. Love!
Very professional. We had Liz take care of our 2 dogs and 4 cats, in our own home, while away for our summer vacation in Myrtle Beach. They and we loved her!!! She stopped by 3x a day to make sure our furry family members were happy and healthy. Liz even went the extra mile of vacuuming to make sure we didn't come home to extra fluffy carpet due to summer shedding. She loved the animals as if they were her own, and spoiled them as if so. I think they were more upset to see Liz go then us when we left for vacation lol. She also kept us updated daily with how everybody was doing. They didn't seem to miss us one bit 😍
I have two German Shepherds and was dog sitting for a friend when I had a family emergency. I was needed at the hospital ASAP. I was nervous about these dogs being together and I needed someone fast that could handle the job. I had heard about Liz from a friend. I can't express my gratitude enough. She showed up as quickly as she could. She walked them, fed them, managed to have them all tuckered out by the time I got home (not an easy task) AND all three of them were snuggling on the same bed. As far as my experience goes, Liz is a miracle worker! I will definitely be relying on her services from now on.
Liz has been awesome for me and Leo. She is super reliable and gives you peace of mind during long work days. Took Leo on 30 minute walks every week day for over a year. I'd recommend her to anyone in the area. Thanks Liz!
We have never had our dogs go to daycare. When we got our puppy, we wanted to make sure he got socialized. Dog Talk was referred to us, and we are very happy. Mike is very professional, my dog Thor loves going there, and boy is he tired when he gets home. The facility is very well kept, and it makes us happy to know he is well taken care of. We also like that Mike is flexible, and works well with our schedule.
Mike and his staff are wonderful people and the facility is first rate. Once I drop my dog off for the day or week I never worry because Mike is outstanding with the dogs. My dog loves to go here for the day (twice a week) it is the high light of his week. I would highly recommend Dog Talk to anyone looking for daily or weekly services for their dog.
I have used Dog Talk for private training, dog walking, dog boarding and doggy day care and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Mike is extremely professional and his actions and interactions are a constant reminder that Mike’s priority is care of dogs. Prior to meeting Mike or my dog Rocco coming home, Mike spent time helping me plan and prepare for my dog’s arrival. As a first time dog owner, it was a huge comfort for me to have someone there that knew my dog and was available to answer my many questions. Rocco loves going to Dog Talk and can’t hardly wait to get out of the car when we arrive. With a hectic work and travel schedule, I have a great comfort in knowing that Rocco has somewhere to go where he has fun, gets exercise and is cared for.
Mike was recommended to us by our vet for puppy training back in September, and we are forever grateful for that day! He provided private training for us and our lab at our home and after an hour taught us invaluable lessons and behaviors for both the puppy and us. We now have a wonderful white lab that listens! :) Since then we have also used Dog Talk for day care and cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Thank you Mike!
Our dog has been attending day care for two years and has boarded numerous times at Mike's. Once you see the space he has for the dogs you won't want to go anywhere else. Boarding there kennel free is such a nice alternative. He takes care of all of the dogs as if they were his own. I would highly recommend his services.
Brought my dog for a meet n greet with Mike the owner and was very pleased with what I saw. Mike runs a tight ship with disciplined dogs in a very safe and relaxed atmosphere both inside and out. Mike explained everything that takes place with his operation which was very informative. Looking forward to bringing my little guy over for future stays.
Dog Talk is A+ for dog sitting. Anytime we travel we leave our dog Harry in the hands of Dog Talk because we trust them to take great care of him. They are always accommodating of our pickup/dropoff schedule. They have a great atmosphere for our dog. We think of it as a vacation for our dog when he stays there. He's not caged up. He gets to roam free and play with his friends. Dog Talk even posts videos on facebook of the dogs playing in the yard! So when you're away for a trip you can check in on your fur baby online. We've had our dog stay with Dog Talk probably 40 days/nights over the past 3 years with nothing but great experiences. I highly recommend them for your dog!
Love Dogtalk! My pup has been going for years and I always feel confidant and comfortable leaving him in the hands of Mike and Mariellen! My dog is always excited when he arrives and happy and exhausted when I pick him up (a tired pup is a good pup in my eyes)! I highly recommend DogTalk! Thanks guys!
We've been using dog talk for 3+ years. Mike has a way with dogs. He is flexible, caring and attentive to each dog in his care. He gives us daily updates and pictures on our dogs if we are away.
Great cage free facility to leave our dog . Mike it’s very professional and flexible with times . Our dog was happy and boy he was tired when we picked him up . He is like a family member to us and I’m never happy when I have to leave him . But being with Mike and able to play with other dogs not only makes him happy but it’s also good for Socialization .I wouldn’t leave him anywhere else . 10 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
I have a larger puppy Bernese and he’s sometimes anxious. They were so good with him and kind. He looked fabulous. They gave him the entire royal treatment and took great care of him. They know how to work well with animals and are very careful and attentive.
I had to leave my baby (cat) for 2 weeks and was so nervous about leaving him anywhere but Hickory Inn really took care of him and emailed me with updates whenever I asked. They took wonderful care of my little angel and I highly recommend! The whole team was so nice and I could tell they cared a lot about our little furry friends. Thank you! <3
We have been boarding our boys and girls (Shih Tzus) at Hickory Inn for decades! We appreciate their loving care and wouldn't think of having someone else take care of them!
Never had an issue. Our dog is always clean and happy when we pick him up. Staff are friendly and courteous and respectful. They take him out a lot and don't keep him in the cage all weekend. Many walks and time with other pets. Our dog has a cough and we noted it and they saw that and took him for a medical checkup. They said it's an allergy and aren't alarmed by it. They are attentive to what conditions he has. The prices are to be expected. You pay for good care of your pet.
The staff is great and my dog enjoys her stay. They are connected to the hospital in case of an emergency. Many options for treats, bath and nail clippings for an additional fee.
They take amazing care of us and our dog.
Benny has been staying at Hickory since he was a Puppy. Anytime I go out of town, I know he's being taken care of. The staff that I have met over the years are great. A few faces have come and gone over the past nine years but most have been around a while. My only complaint is when they started changing their price structure around, but the new owner seems to be going back to the way it was before on pricing. He also is already improving other areas that were outdated (such as going digital vs paper). Update: it's been 11 years and Benny is still happy at Hickory. As with many places inflation has hit the price but I am still happy to leave Benny in their care because I know he is taken care of.
My name is Callie Wilder. I own 2 toy poodles. One is 6 months the other is a year. I went on vacation for 8 days December 23rd to 31st, 2012. I want to publicly say that it was a pleasant experience. I was permitted to bring their toys and food. I called three different times during the week to check on them, and they were doing fine. The staff is very friendly and the facility is very safe and clean. I was reluctant at first to use Hickory Pet Inn because of negative reviews on various sites. However,I would highly recommend this facility to any dog or cat owner. My dogs were clean, well feed, happy and in excellent health when I picked them up after an 8 day stay at the Inn. I will use them again in the future.
Great service and convenient location. We have boarded our large shepherd/husky dog here at least a dozen times. They require all dogs to be up-to-date on vaccines and shots. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Always a good experience for my large dog (100+ lbs). Employees are great and always take care of my best friend while I'm away. Price is kinda standard... Wish add-ons were a bit cheaper apart from standard boarding. Should be a bit more full-service.
We had Paws and Claws do in-home visits once a day for our kitty, Ziggy, while we were away for the holidays. They were fantastic! Stephanie and her team are so convenient and professional! In addition to taking such good care of Ziggy, they also sent us daily updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend!
Philly paws & claws took great care of my dog while I was on vacation. They even sent me pictures of my dog daily. My dog looked very happy in every photo. They took my dog on many walks & gave him the attention he needed. Highly recommend this company for all of your dog needs.
I've been using Philly Paws Claws for years for drop in visits for my iguana, dog boarding, dog taxi, and a couple walks. They're consistently A+ service, sending pictures of your pet, on time, easy to schedule with, and just fabulous all the way around. They're a bit more expensive than some but the reliability and quality is awesome. The taxi service is great to combine with boarding because then you don't have to do drop offs or pick ups when you're busy trying to get out of town or arriving back after hours. Thank you Philly Paws Claws!
Stephanie and her team at PP&C have provided incredible care for our puppy since we discovered her services earlier in the summer. Our pup goes to daycare a couple of times a week at Stephanie's residence and has been boarded with her for a long weekend as well. We also tried their grooming services, which exceeded my expectations. I've not had the opportunity to meet all of her staff, but they are diligent about sending photo updates with each service so that we can see our pup going on a walk or playing with his doggy friends. Our pup is always excited to go to daycare and comes home appropriately calm instead of being wired or overstimulated (which we appreciate!). I highly recommend PP&C for anyone's pet care needs!
Paws and Claws is hands down our favorite dog sitting services in Philly! Our dog always come back so happy, and not stressed out at all!
In early August I got the opportunity to help Philly's Paws & Claws out on the 'Dog Day of Summer'. I have to give credit where credit is due, All of the employees were beyond helpful as well as very cautious, caring, and friendly with all the wonderful fur faces that we saw! From what I experienced, this team is all about the hard work and communication but you can tell they do it all for the love of the animals. Lovely to see such a wonderful team of people offering amazing and helpful services to the public. In the future if I were to need service, I would trust them with all of my animals! :)
They have been so great watching my dog. He can be a little needy and high energy but he has so much fun when he gets to go to daycare and he has the biggest smile on his face when he gets home. They were also super great an flexible when my flight got canceled and I needed them to keep my dog another day!
We are so happy with the care and attention our pup, Ava, received at her long weekend stay with PPC. They kept us updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing. Would 10/10 recommend using their services!! Our girl clearly got a lot of TLC while she was there and came home happy and healthy!
My Golden Doodle, Douglas, is always so well taken care of and happy with this team. They've cared for him numerous times, and each time he comes back to use happy and tired! They are very communicative and clearly love all kinds of animals. I will continue to use them and highly recommend.
We have used Philly Paws and Claws 3+ times in 2024 and are really happy with them. The team is really kind and caring. I would definitely recommend!
