Main Line Dog Sitters has been the most reliable dog sitting service I have ever used. They come when they say they will and I love the updates and pictures I get when I’m away. Also, my dog LOVES them! I highly recommend these guys for any of your petsitting needs.
I have recommended Main line Dog sitters to a number of friends & clients who travel & need dog walking & do sitting services. Everyone has thanked me for the recommendation and has passed their services on to other pleased dog owners. Reliable & Professional
Excellent dog sitting services! Whenever I need to leave town I know I can trust them with my pup. I will be using them for the foreseeable future and would recommend to anyone considering!
My grandmother needed weekly walks for her German shepherd in Ardmore and Main Line Dog Sitters was a life saver! I don’t live in Philadelphia, but figured I’d help out my grandma, and now Luke and his team have been handling daily walks for over a month and everything has been going very smooth! Fully recommend.
I have been a user of Main Line Dog Sitters for almost a year now. I highly recommend their services. The check all the boxes from convenience to punctuality. My dogs have always enjoyed our sitter that MLDS provided
Excellent staff and service! I no longer have to worry about my dog getting her walks in while I’m at work. Would highly recommend to any dog owners in the area!
The team at Main Line Dog Sitters is amazing! I was worried about what to do with my new pup while I was at work. However, Main Line Dog Sitters has gone above and beyond my expectations. The service, communication, and support is outstanding! 100% recommend for your furry friends. Your pup will love it.
They are the best dog sitter on the Main Line! They took such good care of my three little dogs and sent daily updates. These people definitely know what they are doing and I felt super comfortable leaving my dogs with them.
Very professional team with a straight forward process. I’m comfortable leaving town knowing my dog will be taken care of well. Thank you!
I would recommend for anyone looking for a dog walking service. They were on time, respectful, and did a great job with my dogs. Awesome weekly service for the Havertown Area
Main Line Dog Sitting is a great environment for our dog while away from home. The owners are very attentive and caring. Our family trusts this service and it makes being away from our family pet a whole lot easier. Five stars all the way!!!
Great service
Adam and Jymal have been caring for my now-senior pup for about 5 years. After a series of dog walkers who flaked out at best and did rather disturbing things at worst, finding Main Line K9 is like finding Addy’s second family. From the first time Adam and Jymal came in, I knew they’d be great: at the time, Addy was fearful of new men, but each of them knocked on the door, showed her their calm presence, and she loved them immediately. While I try to give them a regular walking schedule, my work schedule changes frequently, and they are always able to accommodate me. They’ve also slept over several times and cared for my cats as well when I’ve been away. There’s no reason to look any further for reliable, caring, reasonably-priced companions for your furry family members!
Adam Barr of Main Line K9 has been providing daily walks and occasional all-day care for my two dogs since at least 2019. He and his team are reliable, caring, and have gone above and beyond when there's been an emergency (once for a possible toxic ingestion and another time for a poopocalypse). Here's what the canines have to say: Adam is great. Adam takes me on walks. Adam scratches my ears. Adam is happy to see me. Adam doesn't mind that I like to go fast on my walks. Adam lets me say hi to everyone and sniff everything. Adam always gives me treats but not enough. Adam could give more treats. I love love love Adam very very much. Bandit (10-year-old Samoyed) While Adam does his job well, I would be remiss if I did not mention his annoying habit of forcing me to leave the comfort of my sofa in order to accompany him on his walks with my little brother, Bandit. I suppose it's alright however, since he does provide delicious snacks once we return to my home. All in all, I approve of Adam and do recommend him. Leila (10-year-old Great Pyrenees)
I can't say how happy I am with the care they provided my senior, anxious dog while I was out of town for 9 days. My dog is notorious for going on a hunger strike when I am gone, and Jymal came to my apartment each day, made friends with her and had her trusting him in less than two days. She ate all her food each day. Would highly recommend.
Adam is great! We’ve been using him for over a year and couldn’t be happier. They have been extremely reliable and accommodating, helping us with routine daily walks and even last minute dog care issues as well. Main Line K9 is our go to for all doggy care needs.
We’ve had Jymal and Adam walking our dog twice a week for the past year and a half and it has been nothing but good things! They are flexible, dependable, and reasonably priced. My dog isn’t always the most comfortable with strangers (especially men) but they knew exactly what they were doing when slowly introducing themselves to her. She loves Jymal! Adam is also very easy to communicate with when things need to be rescheduled. Highly recommend!
Main Line K9 has been walking my large dog daily since we rescued him 6 years ago. I cannot say enough about how wonderful, trustworthy and professional Adam is. He is always reliable and has helped us during times when we weren’t scheduled and had emergent situations. Our dog is a large choc lab and he’s very strong and sometimes a challenge to walk. Adam is truly the only one we trust walking him. He comes into our home daily when we are at work and puts our minds at ease knowing our dog is being well taken care of. I highly recommend Adam and his team for reliable, excellent and worry free pet care. He’s the very best!
Adam and team have been great to work with. They are extremely responsive and our dog loves it when they come to take him for a walk. Adam is always willing to try to help out even on holidays and weekends and I would highly recommend him and his team.
Main Line K9 has been walking my dog for a few years now. They are wonderful to work with. They love my pup like it’s their own (and my dog loves them!). They are always ready and happy to schedule her for an extra walk if my work schedule changes. And Adam, Jymal, and Amir are just such kind guys! I highly recommend them for your pet walking/care needs.
Jymal and Adam are the best! They are extremely reliable and pitch in whenever needed. My dog, a very active goldendoodle, consistently behaves on the leash and loves to walk with Jymal. I've recommended them to friends and family! You'll be glad they are part of your dog's family.
Main Line K9 is a local small business opened by Adam Barr and staffed by Adam and his friend Jaimal. They are both friendly, personable, and helpful. The business is well organized, starting with an introductory visit and detailed questionnaire on the pet’s health and habits.. All walks are logged in a notebook. Adam is easily reached by text for questions and concerns. I called them primarily for scheduled walks, but they pitched right in helped with extra visits during an emergency. It is a pleasure to work with them. You will not find a better pet care team. I highly recommend
Rosie is absolutely wonderful! She is not only reliable but also incredibly loving towards our dog. Every time we leave our pet with her, we have complete peace of mind knowing that she is in great hands. Rosie goes above and beyond to ensure our dog is happy, well-cared for, and safe. We also love all the pictures she shares with us of the activities our dog is doing! We couldn’t ask for better dog care and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.
Rosie kept our dog overnight. Our dog can be nervous, especially around new people, but she warmed immediately to Rosie during our meet and greet time. In less than ten minutes my dog was sitting next to her getting her ears rubbed! Rosie was also careful to introduce our dog to her other boarders one at a time so that she could be sure that animals had good interaction and our dog was not overwhelmed. We will definitely place our pup in Rosie’s care again when needed!
Rosie has been caring for my 3 fur babies for a couple years now and always pampers my pooches to the point they don’t want to leave! I feel so very comfortable leaving my dogs with her and she always accommodates me the best she can (especially last minute). When I pick up the dogs, they honestly act as though they don’t want to leave. That is a true sign that they are loved and cared for by Rosie. I highly recommend her!
Rosie has been a phenomenal find! Our dog (3 year old goldendoodle) loves to stay with her in her home when we are busy or on vacation. She keeps in touch by sending pictures while we're away and our dog always looks so happy to be with Rosie and the other dogs. We will definitely be using her again - 5 stars!
Rosie is the best! My dog loves her daycare days to the point where it's almost impossible to get her in the car when I come to pick her up, even after a full day of playing. She always comes home happy and tired, and Rosie is so sweet with her. I can't recommend her and Main Line Dog Care enough!
We've boarded our 10 year old Havepoo Daisy with Rosie several times in the last year. Each time has been a very good experience for both Daisy and us. Rosie's love and commitment to the dogs in her care is always evident. She is reliable and very easy to work with. We highly endorse her for anyone looking for to board their dog in the Mainline PA area.
Rosie is incredible with our pup, Hobie. She is super flexible & she always sends photo updates so we can see how happy he is with his other fur friends. We are so lucky to have her! Highly recommend.
I wish I could give her more stars if I could! I was so lucky to have found Rosie back in 2020. I rescued my dog Winston in 2020 and was a little nervous finding care for him because he was quite reactive. Big dog boarding facilities were just too overwhelming for him. The one facility we tried, he would book it out the door as soon as you picked him up, just trying to get out asap! Now at Rosies, he runs right up to the door so excited to go in! She welcomes these dogs into her home like they are her own. She's so great with sending photos and the photos I receive always put a smile on my face knowing he has dog friends to hang out with, couches and beds to snuggle up on, and a big backyard to play in. It's so much more personal and home-like than a big boarding facility. As for the negative review, I would fully expect to pay for anything Winston might have destroyed of hers. This is her home and you're taking your dog there knowing that. At the end of the day, dogs are dogs. Your dog could have never chewed anything up in it's life and then just decides one day to chew something! As a millennial woman with no children, my dog is my child. He is my life. And I trust Rosie with him 100%! <3
We are so lucky we found Rosie! She cares for our 6 year old labradoodle Quincy like we do in our own home. She spoils him with daily walks and visits to the dog park. She makes our time away care free knowing he is with her. She sends pictures and updates and puts us at ease. She's a real dog lover! Quincy is the lucky one!!! Thanks Rosie!
Hi - I recently traveled to Europe for a week and Rosie watched my 2 Chesapeakes and did an amazing job. One of my dogs is epileptic and Rosie was great about giving him all his medications. I will definitely be using Main Line Dog Care again.
Ruff House is the best! We’ve taken our golden retriever here for over a year and it’s like his second home. The people are amazing and treat your dog like family. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Ruff House is!
Ruff House is the best part of Winston's day. He has been going here since he was a puppy. The staff here are great at training and provide updates on of his day.
The Ruff House is great! Our dog is always excited to go. We have some day care and boarding and could not have been any happier with our decision. They take great care of our pup and always leaves with a smile on her face!
Edward absolutely loves Ruff House He has been transformed from a scared little rescue pup into a confident happy puppy with the love and attention his Ruff House family has shown him 🐾🐾 …
My dog Harper Roses loves Ruff House and so do I. She is so happy when she arrives there each day. The staff is full of love and good cheer.
I can’t say enough good things about this place. All the workers are so kind and my dog absolutely loves it there! He's so excited every morning to go! The first time i picked him up to go home he cried (rude) lol but he is always sad to leave all the fun and comes exhausted! Loves all his friends and is clearly well taken care of.
Baxter loves the care he gets at ruff house! It’s a great environment for him to make new friends, and the daily report cards we received while we were away, complete with pictures and stories of how his days have gone were entertaining and reassuring. Even came home freshly bathed!
Ruff House is the best place for your dog. My dog is leaping out of the car to get inside when I drop him off. Once pick up time arrives, he is nicely tired, and happy. I enjoy that they post on social media to see the doggo's in action during the day. The staff is unmatched! Everyone is friendly, attentive, caring, accommodating and always upbeat- and very responsive via email. Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a daycare.
The RHDC has been a life-changing experience for Hank and me. Hank is a young, active husky mix I adopted last year (2023) and very challenging as he is still basically a puppy and needs a lot of activity. The day I took him to RHDC for his evaluation was very stressful for me as I was so afraid he might not pass, but he did with flying colors! RHDC is very careful about introductions and makes sure they are safe and as stress-free as possible for the dogs and their humans. Nowadays Hank goes to day care at least once a week, usually twice, and he loves it so much. He is eager and happy when we arrive at day care in the morning and tired and happy when I pick him up. The RHDC is always trying new things and seeking to improve, including a new option to add "enrichment day care" where your dog can get added attention and hands-on activities. Hank loves it! They often post photos and videos on social media so you can see your pup in action. I've also boarded Hank overnight at RHDC and was very happy with the experience. If you are on the fence about trying day care for your dog, please jump into RHDC and try it out! I can guarantee you that you wont' be sorry and your dog will be much happier.
Great place for dogs! Our dog nearly breaks through the window of the car as we pull up to drop her off on her days at the Ruff House. Caring staff, easy scheduling, and convenient location!
I contacted them to assist with transporting a rescue dog from one home to another. They responded on a Sunday and helped transport her the next day. They were on time and communicated with me the entire time. I am forever grateful that I found this company. They were the only company to call me back and they were amazing to work with. Thank you!
Pet Taxi I used pet taxi to get my dog spayed at Emancipet on Adam's Avenue. Very affordable from West Philadelphia to Northeast twice. Drivers were friendly and didn't mind waiting for check in and check out. I will absolutely use Collar Club pet taxi again and recommend it to friends.
Bree is truly the best! Sadie is our first dog ever and I was so nervous to leave her with anyone when we first got her. Bree was the first person to ever watch her for us, and we are so lucky to have found her! She sends us pictures whenever we ask for them, and when we leave her for the holidays she always gets special treats! Sadie absolutely loves Bree (and almost every time pees on her front steps out of excitement). Bree is super flexible, kind, and we can tell she genuinely loves every dog that comes to The Collar Club!
We hired Bree to house sit for a week in July, with our puppy and cat. Bree was a no-show for our first meet and greet; late for the rescheduled meet and greet; and nearly 2 hours late for the start of house sitting responsibilities. We thought, that’s ok, she is probably just busy. We provided clear written information on caring for the animals and plants. A neighbor texted to say that she had watered the front porch plants as they were getting crispy. I asked Bree if she would like help with the plants, offering that my neighbor could do all the watering. Bree told me that the plants were looking great and all was well. On the morning of our trip home, Bree informed us that she had fallen asleep without crating the puppy, and he had chewed the couch cover. She promised to pay to replace the cover. Accidents happen, we understood, and we were glad she offered to pay for the damaged item. When we returned home, however, we found that the dog had also chewed the rug and destroyed his bed; the dog enrichment puzzles and kongs we had asked Bree to use had not been touched. In addition, many plants were dead, the laundry machine was massively overfilled, and the air conditioning was set to 50 degrees (which could have broken the unit). We were pretty shocked at the state of things. We added up the cost of damage and provided Bree with an itemized list. We asked for less than half of the cost of damages. We heard nothing back, followed up three weeks later, and then received a message stating that we were causing Bree stress but that, yes, she would refund us the requested amount. By the next week, we hadn’t received the refund, so we followed up. Bree replied that her refunds go out net 15 days. We waited 20 days - still nothing. We followed up, and waited another 15 days - still nothing. This is 35 days total. We wrote to Bree that we would resort to small claims court if we didn’t receive the agreed refund. Bree replied that her accountant processes refunds and she has no control over it. So this is where we are. Given the damage and the lack of refund we may have to pursue legal options next week, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend.
We put a $440 deposit down in August to have our dog boarded. Sadly she did not pass an aggressiveness test and owner agreed to refund our money due to our circumstances. Weeks went by and we didnt get a refund even though they said they did it so we filed a complaint with our credit card company. The owner summited to the credit card company their terms of service for no refunds and because we only had text message proof they would not refund the money. We are out $440 and still waiting for them to return it to us
This was the first time my baby has stayed with Bree at the The Collar Club. Normally, both I and my baby have lots of anxiety. But today when we arrived my baby went straight to Bree and acted as if I didn't exist. She had a wonderful time and the anxiety we both normally have didn't occur today. It was as if we had known Bree forever. I will definitely use her services again and will tell others.
Bella is our baby and we changed the reservation twice because we wasn't sure if she would get Great care. Bree is the Best she is so loving and caring with Bella from treating her dry hair and recommending salmon oils to clipping those killer claws and she must of gave her a shower because she slept so good her backyard was full of entertaining for Bella and hubby was pleased I would be using this service forever Thanks Bree 😊🐕
My experience at the collar club was very reassuring and comfortable due to Bree and her diligence and communication with me during our time there. Her professionalism put me at ease at a time of uncertainty with where to have my animal kept, I highly advise using the collar club when in need of leaving your animal with someone responsible professional and caring.
I absolutely LOVE The Collar Club! I’ve been looking for a safe + dependable place for my puppy for when I need day/night care, and they are perfect. My puppy stayed with them for the weekend and everything from booking to pickup was amazing. I got to see real time updates via an app they use, and even got a little report card at pickup time to let me know how he did. Very pleased with their services and I will be returning soon :)
Bree and her team are the best! I take my cat there every time I travel. The communication is quick and efficient, drop off and pick up is easy, and I know my cat is taken care of while there. I can’t imagine going anywhere else!
If you are looking for someone to look after your pet while you are on vacation, walk your dog while you are at work, AND love your pets as if they were there own, this is the company that you want to call. It is a small, family run business. Wonder Wags, specifically Geoff and on occasion Steve has been walking my dog (puppy) now for about a year. I am extremely pleased with the service I have received thus fa. I know my puppy is as well. She gets more excited to see Geoff every day, than she does to see me ever. The next time you are in need of a pet sitter, be sure to give Wonder Wags a try. I promise you won't be disappointed!!!
LIIV Little Characters Pet Sitting apologizes for the misunderstanding. Our team just wanted you to be aware of the cost of multiple visits a day/week. We did not intend (or believe we implied) that any customer could not afford such care, just that the schedule of visits would be an expensive option. Our goal is to be transparent as to our costing, yet remain in business for all our customers. Our team wants to provide reasonable priced pet care, with reliable, trustworthy pet sitters that love animals.
I called Little Characters today and the owner or whoever takes care of the phone calls was very offensive! I called looking to start dog walking services. I told him my needs and he said that what I needed could get to be pretty expensive and he was not sure if I could afford it. I told him he was very offensive and that I wouldn't be calling if I could not afford it! Afterwards, he says well if you can afford it I can do it. That's not how you conduct business! It was very rude and offensive. You cannot tell someone you don't think they can afford something.
I am so impressed by the level of caring the sitters had for my cat. They contacted me daily while I was away to give updates. They took excellent care of my cat. They made it possible for me to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew that my cat was well cared for. I highly recommend these sitters! I'll never use anyone else!!
Good, responsible service. the staff really cares about your pets and treats them like they are their own.
They never called me back about pet sitting for my birthday weekend. Very unprofessional.
Sasha is an amazing kind and courteous caretaker who really goes above and beyond to understand and work with you and your pets individual needs. Also you can tell that she genuinely cares about your pet(s) as if they were her own. I cannot recommend Sasha and Cutie Paws enough!!
Sasha and team Cutie Paws did an incredible job taking care of my two chihuahua mixes. The expertise and attention to detail in maintaining our routine is seriously above and beyond any pet sitter service I’ve ever experienced. I rarely enjoy leaving my pups when I go away; but Sasha made sure to stay in communication and even sent amazing videos and photos of my pups every day giving me peace of mind. What a gift Cutie Paws. Highly recommend!
Sasha and the Cutie Paws team are amazing cat sitters to our bonded pair! They are conscientious and attentive to detail. Sasha knows our cats and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable while we are away. Plus, we get daily text, video, and photo updates, which gives us such peace of mind. We trust Sasha and highly recommend Cutie Paws!
Cutie Paws has been watching our cat almost once a month for about two years now. They are incredible and our cat loves them too. Incredibly responsive and trustworthy, and so easy to schedule with. They even gave our cat a toy to keep once because he liked it so much (it's now his favorite toy). The only reason I wouldn't leave a good review for them is out of fear that more people will book them and make it hard for us to book them! Absolutely get in touch with Cutie Paws for your petsitting needs. You'll be glad you did!
Sasha goes above and beyond, no matter what. Twice when she was caring for my cats while I was in California, there was an emergency which she handled quickly & graciously. She’s amazing, caring, patient and kind.
Sasha and the team are incredible with pets! We have worked with Cutie Paws for a few years and only have positive experiences. Everyone genuinely loves animals, are great with communication, and easy to schedule!
Sasha and her crew walked my dog for the first 9 months that I lived in Philly, and they were wonderful. Sasha is very organized and extremely reliable, and she made sure my dog got walks on every occasion. I also had a schedule changing week-to-week, and they were so flexible in accommodating my schedule. They frequently spent more time with my dog when she needed some extra coaxing to leave the house. It's clear that she cares deeply about the animals and her clients who she cares for. I hope they will continue to help out with my doggo when possible; the only reason I am no longer able to use their services is because I moved. I cannot say enough good things about her professionalism and care.
Sasha went above and beyond while looking after my cat over the holidays! I received comprehensive updates, plus lots of photos and videos. My cat has been shy with sitters in the past, but he took to Sasha right away and I always felt like he was in great hands. I can't recommend Cutie Paws enough if you want peace of mind when leaving your fur babies at home.
Sasha is an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have found. Her history intake is very detailed, very willing to work with our schedules for the initial meet and greet. She's very thorough with each visit, will readily send us text, video, and photo updates when she's with our cats. Communication is key, and I feel like we've never had any issues with that with Sasha. Highly recommend for taking care of your pets.
Sasha is a top-notch cat sitter! My kitties are wonderful and they also require some special care. Sasha not only met but exceeded my expectations when it came to caring for my furry babies. Sasha followed the plan we identified and even further, she took the time to get to know my kitties and built a relationship with them. As a result, I felt even more secure and calm when leaving my kitties in her care. Thank you, Sasha! -Pam J.
