We had such a lovely time looking after Tonks at Craig and Lisa's idyllic cottage near Dalry. Tonks was affectionate, friendly and a real pleasure to look after. Craig left us with detailed instructions for the house and taking of Tonks so we felt confident and reassured about what to do during our stay. There was great communication before and during our visit which we highly appreciated. We felt really welcomed into their home and it was the perfect remote setting for us whilst still being close enough to shops for any groceries, etc. Thank you once again!
Oh Chester! He’s such a gorgeous boy with so much character. Chester has a lot of love to give, and a lot of energy to burn which worked really well for us exploring Cornwall with him. He made our day trips much more enjoyable. He really is a velcro dog and enjoys being around you (sometimes directly on you!) but this all adds to his charm. You get a lot of attention with Chester around, he’s wonderful. Denise and Christopher welcomed us into their home a few days before they were due to leave for their holiday. Denise is a wonderful cook and we really enjoyed getting to know them. Denise showed us local areas for dog walks which we may not have necessarily found. Her local knowledge of the area was a huge bonus for us - it’s such a beautiful area to explore! This also allowed us to see Chester’s behaviours and helped us have a better understanding of his character and routine. We’d love to return and look after Chester in the future. Thanks, Gemma & Arran
Chris and Charlie were brilliant with all the information they provided and even called over facetime prior to the sit to ask any questions we had. Zeus was a great dog sit for me and my partner Lee. He had a lot of energy and loved playing tug of war! The location of the house was super ideal as there were walks all around the estate which also helped with getting our bearings.
I had the best stay at Valerie’s. It was my first time using this platform and I will definitely do it again. I felt very at ease with Valerie from the first video call we had, she was great at communicating and she provided me a lot of guidance. We met prior to the stay so that I could see the house and meet the pets. I have had the best time looking after the lovely gang of 4 cats , Lola and Baffo. The area and the house are enchanting, the beautiful hills of Sabina will be refreshing for your soul , and everyone in the area is very welcoming and friendly.
Julia is a very kind and generous lady. The house is small but immmaculately clean. The cats are endearing. Coco and Matilda love lots of attention and lots of grooming - would recommend grooming at least 3 times a day. It's so good for them. Easy to get to Uckfield by walking or a bus system works well too. Shops close by, highly recommended
Beth and Gus are beautiful people. They have a lovely home and an adorable cat, Sammy. The neighborhood is also delightful with walking and biking paths very close to the home. I would definitely accommodate Beth, Gus, and Sammy again :)

I literally wish I could give Paws and Claws 10 stars. We are incredibly lucky to be able to work with a kind, thorough, hard-working team of walkers and sitters. Our pup, Delilah, can take a while to warm up to new people (to say the least!), but Stephanie, Kelly, Grady, Clio, Traci, and Grace are incredibly understanding and patient with her. My favorite part is reading about the highlights of Delilah’s walks as well as which of our 4 cats make a guest appearance 😂 The communication has always been crystal-clear and the booking process is incredibly easy. Most recently we used the house sitting service over Christmas and the updates were just as jolly as our holiday! Thank you, thank you, P&C!
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.
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!
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.
I have been trusting Pooch Schoochers with the two most important things in my life for the last two years....my dog, and access to my home. They are 100% trustworthy and reliable. On the occasions where I get to see my dog interact with the walkers, it is clear how much he loves them and values his daily walks. I love the status emails of each walk and the pictures they take of him having fun exploring the world when I am at work. Ashley is very professional, accommodating, and reliable. The Pooch Schoochers have become extended family to my dog, I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!
I reached out to Ashley in a complete panic after the pet sitter I had hired was a no call no show to a meet n greet, a week before I was leaving the country for 2 weeks. Ashley called me back in less than 5 minutes because she could tell in my voice that I was about to burst into tears. Ashley was so kind and compassionate towards me. Within an hour, she found 2 pet sitters and scheduled meet n greets, accommodating my work schedule. Ashley went above and beyond and really took the time to obtain information about my complicated cats (allergy cat and anxiety cat) to make sure that they would be well cared for. The original agency did get in touch with me with a reasonable explanation for the no show and rescheduled for the next day. While I did decide to stick with my original agency, I would absolutely consider using Pooch Scoochers the next time I need a pet sitter. Thank you Ashley, Rachel, and Danielle for your kindness and care!
My experience with Pooch Scoochers has been nothing but positive. The owner Ashley is very easy to get in touch with and shows a genuine interest in me and my dog’s needs. When I first moved to East Falls and had my new dog with me, I considered using one of the dog walking apps. Because of my apartment complex, I realized it would be too complicated explaining to a new dog walker each time where to go and how to get in. Pooch Scoochers was already very familiar with my complex and had multiple clients there already! There is a noticeable benefit to having the same 1-2 walkers for your pet, and their walkers are all fantastic. 100% recommend!!
I’ve been trusting Pooch Scoochers with my pup for 7+ months now with daily walks and I recommend them to everyone I know! Emily provides such loving care to my boy, Finley, and always gives me detailed updates on his walks/visits along with the BEST pictures. Emily is also great at keeping a watchful eye on him - she will notice if something is off about him (both physical and behavioral) and be sure to bring it to my attention which I appreciate so so much. I was off from work one weekday and decided not to cancel the walk - seeing how excited my dog was to see Emily and watch their interactions together made me feel so at ease. Pooch Scoochers truly treats their animal clients as if they are their own! If I could give 10 stars I would!
I love using Pooch Scoochers! My husband typically works from home, but on the rare occasion he doesn’t, Alex always comes to the rescue. She’s so sweet with the dogs and I love the emails she sends to let me know how their walk went! She even went the extra mile to text me pictures of them while on their walk. Ashley is wonderful as well! Any time I’ve ever had a question she’s been so quick to respond and very accommodating. I’d highly recommend!!
We’ve been using Pooch Scoochers for a few years now and we love them! You can really tell how much Ashley loves all of the dogs in her life. Our furbaby is lucky to have Ashley and the team as a best buddy while we are at work. We look forward to our daily message from our walker letting us know our pup was happy on his walk. We especially like the pics we get to see on their daily feed on social media! They even squeeze us in for last minute happy hour walks on days we “ work” late!
Beyond impressed with their professionalism and flexibility. The owner, Ashley, went above and beyond to accommodate us when we called her in a last minute bind for a pet sitter as brand new clients. We came home to happy healthy dogs who were clearly well cared for by Leah and Amber. Highly recommend!
We've loved using Pooch Scoochers for weekday walks and visits when we're away for the day. Our dogs love seeing Marissa for their walks and we've appreciated her help in working with them on reinforcing positive behaviors. Ashley and the whole team are so responsive and thoughtful when we need to make a change or add a service. It's been so easy to work with everyone!
We have been using Pooch Scoochers for over a year, once my dog required extra medical attention and could not go all day without meds or a walk. They have only been excellent with managing his changing medical issues. He is much healthier now and we have kept up his walks because he is so much happier with them! I love the daily messages from his walker and really believe how much fun they have! Would recommend their services to anyone.
I used Manayunk Pooch Schoochers for the first time and it was an AMAZING experience. I met my walker and the owner in person previous to walking my pup for the first time and I loved them instantly. They are very professional as well as extremely personable. My dog walker is Stow and he LOVED his walk with her and cried when she had to leave. Their pricing is SUPER cheap and well worth every penny! (Make sure to tip your walker, they deserve it) After the walk was complete I got an email from my walker on how it went as well as tips on what would help me walk him better! I cannot say enough good things about Manayunk Pooch Schoochers!
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!
After adopting a year old, very active husky and realizing that long walks weren't enough socialization or use of his energy, I found Just 4 Paws fairly close to my office. I have no doubt that he has a blast there, he's very excited when he's dropped off, and he is worn out when picked up. He'll typically be on rest mode for the next 24 hours or so. It's also clear that all of the staff cares about all the dogs. So glad to have found them after another day camp near my home told me they wouldn't consider him until I had him for 4 months. Kind of weird, but glad J4P gave him a chance with the group and let's him be himself. Highly recommend for big or small dogs.
My pup, Darcy, has been coming for well over a year. She loves coming so much.. I know because of how fast her tail wags when she sees the staff. I get one photo a day to my phone and there are several uploaded to IG. I moved farther away, but keep bringing her because how much she likes it and how well the staff treat her.
Our experience with Just4Paws has been amazing. Nova is well-cared for and gets plenty of exercise. She comes home happy and tired. The attendants are always pleasant and caring. Their online check-in and check-out works seamlessly and is very convienent. And we have to mention that they take really good photos of Nova throughout the day. It's a lot of fun coming across them in our feeds. My only wish is that they would open a 1/2-hour earlier. This is a five-star daycare center that we have no hesitation recommending.
My dog has been attending daycare here for about a year now. She is a shy and introverted dog. She is thrilled when she realizes she is going to daycare for the day. The staff is wonderful and my dog absolutely loves them. I am very happy with my experience here!
Just4Paws is the best doggy daycare! I was so nervous to send my dog to daycare for the first time but they sent me photos of him playing throughout the day and he couldn't wait to go back! It is so evident from all they do to care for our dogs how much every employee loves what they do. We try to send him as often as possible so he can socialize with other dogs in a positive environment and he always comes home happy and ready for a nap. I would recommend to anyone!
Just4Paws is absolutely amazing! I would give them 10 stars if allowed. My dog loves the staff! She gets along great with all of the other dogs, large and small. She's only 13lbs. All dogs go through a day of evaluation before they are allowed to enter the daycare service to ensure the safety of all pets. The staff is very interactive with the the dogs and keeps a close eye to make sure everyone is safe and happy. My dog is very high energy and I can absolutely notice a difference between the days she goes to daycare and the days she does not. They wear her out with FUN!! Just4Paws is TOP NOTCH all around!!
I have been bringing my pup here for over a year now on a weekly basis, and I cannot say enough great things about this place, and even my dog knows we're heading there and starts wagging her tail and gets so excited! This place is amazing!!! The staff is wonderful, they take care of your pup as if they were their own, it's very clean and welcoming, with all the dogs photos hanging up, they even text you photos when you're dog is there for the day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff and this place. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely check this place out, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Honestly this place is amazing. Statistically speaking this place is in a very convenient location for me and the rates are very affordable. On a more personal level I was overjoyed to have found this place for my dog Amos. The people here are professional, and display kindness and compassion for all the dogs they care for. They post 300+ photos of the dogs day at day care to their Facebook page and it was easy for me to see how well my dog was doing at this place, and they provide "pup-dates" once a day (more for evaluation day) before I pick him up in the evening. I don't think I've ever seen him that happy! And he was so tired from the day and behaved so well once he got home. I am ecstatic to bring him back next week and many weeks after that!
Our dog, Henry has been a part of the Just4Paws family for 4 years. I say family because the staff at J4P treat him as if he is their own dog. Henry is 14, and this community has changed my dog for the better. We took him to J4P to help socialize him and to help with separation anxiety. He is a completely different dog as a result. The entire staff works hard to provide a clean, safe environment. The manager is quick to respond to any communication and is so helpful. Throughout the year, there are special events like Halloween costume contests and Christmas pics and special snacks, which add fun to the daycare routine. I cherish the daily pics texted to me, as I can see my dog is truly having fun in the pack. I am always confident that my dog is in the best care. If you are a resident at Rittenhouse Hill Apartments, there are great services like dropoff/pickup at your apartment. I give Just4Paws the highest recommendation, and thank them for making my dog's senior years his very best. Please check them out for your dog!
I love this daycare (and so does my pup)! I was taking her elsewhere prior and she never seemed happy going or when I picked her up. She really loves the workers here and other dogs, I’m so happy she has Just4Paws!
A pet care service that is always reliable, friendly, and works as a partner with you to care for your pet? Yes—look no further! We’ve used QP for nearly ten years since moving to NW Philadelphia for all of our dog walking and full time overnight care for our dog while we are out of town. Our dog loves all of his caregivers and can’t wait to spend time with them. Whether we’re away for the day or a week of travel out of the country, we never worry about our dog while he’s being taken care of by the Queenie’s team! Also—they have a terrific store with quality products and insightful recommendations from the team…and prices at or below the big box chain stores. We (and our dog) love this business and their team so much!
Love Queenie's!! We worked with Adina's team for years and had the happiest pup that could be. We could always count on them to provide super high quality, reliable, easy-to-manage care.
Great pet store with a friendly staff. I haven't used their pet care services, but many of my clients rave about them. People show me framed pictures of their pets that Queenies gave them. Seems like they really care about your pets and your family.
Queenies is a one of a kind stop for your pets! The entire staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the well being of the person & pets they are serving. Everytime I bring my pup in, he is greeted by name and absolutely spoiled!! They make ordering easy, and make you feel like you're part of their family from the moment you walk in. They go above and beyond with every customers need, & once you start shopping here you will never want to shop anywhere else! Thank you Adina & queenies crew for being such a remarkable pet store
The customer service was A plus, and everything for pets is top. The quality. When my grandson told the owner that the family had just purchased a pet bird for him , she ordered 2 large packs of millet spray on the spot . We only had to pick it up on Friday during their normal morning delivery time. Wonderful!
Queenie's is fantastic. They provide excellent and loving care for our dog and 2 cats. Completely reliable.
Queenie's has become my go to place for pet supplies, food, products, and advice. They have a delivery service which is so reliable that I feel like I have a boutique service for free. They regularly check in to see when I need more pet food, they remind me of promotions, and they are flexible when I have unusual requests. They helped me adjust my food for my dog's allergies, find a food my cat would like, and found indestructible toys that would last. They even deliver pet friendly snow melt. I haven't used their pet sitting service, but I would trust them to love and care for my pet like their own.
Queenie's has been taking care of our cats for almost 9 years and they are never anything less than wonderful. Our cats are high-maintenance, get into everything, eat multiple special diets and are all-around pains, and our sitters get every detail right and then some. I am so thankful to be able to travel without worrying, knowing that our pets are in trusted, professional hands.
Queenie's is absolutely amazing! The owner Adina is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She has gone above and beyond to help me transition my adult cat Calliope onto higher quality foods. In just a little more than a month, Calliope's hairballs have gotten so much better thanks to the food and supplements Adina recommended, and they're far from the first I've tried. Calliope also seems more satiated with the wet food options despite a similar caloric intake. I feel very lucky to have such a caring, knowledgeable and helpful small business just around the corner.
We receive monthly deliveries of food and other items for our two senior dogs from Queenie’s. Products & service are of the highest quality. Everyone we’ve interacted with is kind and helpful and Adina goes above and beyond wrt taking the time to share her vast knowledge and provide personalized advice. She’s also an exceptionally generous and caring person. We are excited to use Queenie’s pet sitting service too—Patti is likewise incredible to work with, another gem of a human. Really glad to have this business in our neighborhood
I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! We no longer live in the area and we still bring our dog to board here whenever we are away. Our puppy was incredibly nervous around people when we first got her. Instead of turning her away the staff took the time to sit with her and give her time to warm up. Now she loves it there and is comfortable with the staff. The hours are amazing and the price is the best around. It is family owned and they really get to know you and your pet. They always answer the phone or call you right back. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience, first time boarding my pups while on vacation. They were there Saturday to Saturday, three English Bulldogs, one with visual impairment and incontinent issues. I felt at ease while on vacation knowing they were safe and well taken care of. They shared an area and were kept together, fed regularly and were out to relieve them self. I would recommend this business. The owner has a heart of gold and you can always find her on the premises, hands on taking care of the dogs.
They are wonderful! My dog loves going and always comes home exhausted from playing with his friends. They love them and take great care of them! Each room feels like home with couches, beds, TV's.
Stay and play is the best! I highly trust Carol and the rest of her staff to care for my 2 dogs when I am at work or out of town. The dogs love playing with their friends and have the best time. I always know my dogs are in great hands leaving them at stay and play. The staff really treat the animals like their own and I am so grateful to have found such a special place. Thank you for all that you do!
I was very lucky to have found this place when I needed a boarding kennel for my TWC for a weekend. My dog came home happy and tired! I will call them again for sure!
Carol and her team are outstanding! Our dog Bailey had a wonderful experience in doggy daycare and while boarding there over the holiday weekend. We will continue to use this service and trust our dog's care to Stay & Play Pet Resort as long as we are in the area! Thank you!
My daughter has a covid dog. Meaning he is not socialized. We were hesitant to take him, but we needed to board him. When we bought him in the knowledge & comfort of everyone working there, it made us feel at it ease. They helped calm our dog down & were able to take him with no problems. When we picked up our dog, he was happy. Therefore we were happy. I would definitely recommend Stay & Play Pet Resort Inc.
Our Bella (English Bulldog) loves Stay & Play. The staff is welcoming and excited to have your pet stay with them. She stayed while we were on vacation for a week and came home happy and loved. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby!!! See you next time. 🐾❤️ …
I absolutely love the care our grand pup receives! The staff is amazing. I’d give 100 gold stars if I could. I highly recommend!
I recently used Stay & Play Pet resort to take care of my 10 months old kitten Ralphie when I was going out of town on vacation. I am so happy I chose this "resort" for my furbaby. The entire staff is very caring and took great care of my kitten. He got his own room and the staff visited him throughout the day to ensure he was well cared for and for some attention. I called daily to check on him and everyone was very kind and gave updates on how Ralphie's day was going. I am definitely going to reserve a stay for all of my vacations because it gave me such peace of mind knowing my lil furbaby was happy and in good hands. Thank you everyone for your caring and kind spirits 😊
Top tails has been amazing! Tanya is great with communication and always replies in a timely manner. Top tails accommodates us even when there are same day changes and are highly reliable. We appreciate the pictures and updates every visit. We know that Riley is in good hands with Top Tails!
Tanya is a fantastic cat sitter! From our initial meet and greet, we knew our Sylvia would be in great hands. She is extremely receptive and communicative. We love her daily check ins with pictures. I highly recommend her!!
Top Tails Dog Walking provides an amazing pet sitting service that puts us completely at ease whenever we’re away. We have a very high-energy and anxious dog, and they are always so wonderful and patient with him. They include thorough updates and pictures, and assure that pets are well-cared for. Our dog is always so happy when they come visit!
Our fur baby Lexi loved Tanya immediately. She loves their long walks and we love the wonderful updates! Tanya sends the best photos and is very communicative and super reliable. Top Tails came highly recommended from friends and has been great!!
Tanya and Top Tails is fantastic and we rely on her for our ten year old pup Fiona. She's always happy and safe on walks and visits.
Top Tails has been a life saver! They make our time away from home feel so much easier and the love they have for our pet is apparent with each daily update. So glad we found them and will definitely use again!
Tanya was amazing! We were very nervous about using a pet sitter because it was our first time doing it. Tanya went above and beyond for our fur baby. She sent videos and pictures daily which was such a plus!
Tanya and the Top Tails team are incredible! They look after my 2 cats whenever I am away. All of us animal lovers know how important it is to leave our fur babies in good hands. The sitter always goes out of their way to provide a detailed update, complete with photos. I can tell how much they genuinely care for my pets' well being and really take the time to give them attention. I know 1 of my cats can be a bit of a grump 😹, but that doesn't stop our Top Tails sitter from showing him affection! Very appreciative for such kind, trustworthy, and reliable pet care providers. ❤️
We love Top Tails. Tanya has been taking excellent care of our dog for years when we go on vacations, etc and we always know she is good hands with Top Tails. We love the timely and detailed updates she provides through the website and that are sent to our email. She truly cares about the animals she watches and is so communicative. You can trust Top Tails to take great care of your animal while you're away.
As a sometimes anxious cat parent, I have felt to much more comfortable when I'm away knowing Tanya will be caring for my cat. She is great about sending along photos and updates and letting us know our cat is doing well, whether we're away for a weekend or a longer trip. It's also never been a problem to book cat sitting even on fairly short notice and the app makes it very easy to communicate. I'd definitely recommend Top Tails to anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter!
The Owner Don truly cares about all the dogs in his business. I am a colleague of his and had contact over a mutual client. Don is professional, passionate about what he does and receptive. Most importantly, he is open minded (they say the only thing 2 trainers agree on is what the 3rd is doing wrong 😆) As a fellow trainer and kennel owner, just based off of today's interaction, I would absolutely endorse his program.
The Towne Barker is awesome! The owner truly loves dogs and takes great care of all who spend time with him. He is also a great trainer - My dog was older and only had a couple basic skills- Don had him doing a new skill in under 20 minutes of working with him! I highly recommend this place!
Our dogs love going to the Towne Barker - they can’t wait to get to “camp” everyday. Afterwards, they always come home happy and tired. Don’s expertise has really helped to train our very energetic puppy. Don is the best and really does treat each dog as if they were his own. Towne Barker is the only place we trust with our dogs and I would highly recommend it to any dog owner!
We've been leaving our dog with Don since they were at the old location in Northern Liberties. He's super flexible with time and even payments. Towne Barker is way cheaper than all the other dog daycares I looked at in the area. Our dog comes home tires and chill after being there and he's very friendly with our dog and even me as a customer. I would definitely recommend the Towne Barker if you need a place for you dog to hang and play while you're at work.
We love this place! Don treats every dog like it's his own. The prices are great, the place is clean and my dog loves being dropped off there to play with his friends. When I visit the city I love knowing that my dog is taken care of by someone we trust. Don is best! I highly recommend.
My dog Ringo has seizures and needs a lot of care (plus medication 4 times a day). Don does a fantastic job with him and Ringo always comes home happy and even better behaved than normal! I recommend the towne barker to all dog owners. The boarding service is also great!
Friendly owner who will love your pet like his own. My Buster loves to play with friends here!
We love The Towne Barker!! I feel absolutely confident leaving my pup here knowing she is loved and taken good care of! She loves going, obviously has a great time, and we never have trouble with her missing us! The humans there are pretty awesome too! LOL
Took my dog here after my previous doggy daycare closed due to Covid. The pups have a more structured day, with both physical and mental exercise. You can tell Don really cares about these dogs (and the fact that he is a certified dog trainer is definitely a bonus)!
Bottom Line - STAY AWAY! I went out to check out the Town Barker facilities with my dog. I was considering boarding him for the weekend, and the owner suggested that I come out so he could evaluate my dog and have me sign some paperwork. I have a small dog (20 lb) male terrier mix. Upon entering the store, I gagged at the smell and had to fight the urge to vomit. The place smelled horribly of feces and urine! Giving him the benefit of doubt I continued into the store. He welcomed me, and then gave me a form to sign, a release from harm form. There were at least a dozen dogs inside a gated area. Of course they were "exited" at a new dogs arrival and were barking and actively running to and fro in their enclosed area. When my dog was brought into the area he was immediately surrounded and terrified. Don was with him and was trying to introduce him to the pack, but even I know that dogs are territorial and the proper way to introduce dogs is to do it on neutral ground. When I asked Don what the daily routine was for the dogs, when he walked them, played with them, he stated he did not do any of those things. He said they get "free play" all day long and he just watches them. They are not walked or exercised during the day and are allowed to defecate and urinate in the room! This is certainly not a habit I want my dog to learn! He then asked if I signed the release? I told him no, that I would not be needing his services, and thanked him for his time
Our pup is/was having a hard time readjusting to daycare after taking a break for a couple months due to the respiratory virus. The staff at lwd have been so patient and accommodating with us. They are simply the best and we are so grateful!
Our dog has been going here for a few years and we love it here, and so does our dog. She is a bit tricky and the staff have been wonderful with her. They are kind, thoughtful and really take care of our dog while she is with them. Little White Dog is the best Doggie Daycare around.
I highly recommend this daycare. They hold meetings to discuss how to handle dogs or interactions with dogs. They divide dogs up based on play style (to my understanding). The staff are knowledgeable. They are skilled with reactive dogs and other types. Staff and the owner are all wonderful people. This is by far the best daycare.
We take our standard poodle Penny to Little White Dog for both daycare and boarding. This place is amazing. It is so well run, the employees are wonderful, and they really understand how to take care of the dogs. We cannot recommend it highly enough!
We love sending our pup here! She always comes home tired and happy after a long day of playing with her friends. Their facilities are really clean and organized and the backyard is amazing. Glad we found a daycare/boarding spot near us that is great for our dog!
My dog, Nori, loves this place to the moon and back! Kish and the rest of the staff are lovely, so kind and attentive. You can tell they all care about the dogs. I've boarded my dog there for a few days and it was easy and great for peace of mind. They do a great job at matching dogs with similar play styles and energy levels. The days do fill up so I have to plan out my requests at least a few days in advance. Sometimes I call the day before and if there's a cancellation I can get a last minute spot. I highly recommend this doggie daycare!
Cannot say enough good things about Little White Dog! The employees who work here are so nice & Bailey has the best time everyday she is there! I never have to worry about her when we are on vacation while she is at Little White Dog! We know she is in great hands and having a great time with all of her doggy friends! The perfect place for daycare/ boarding!
Pippin is a happy camper!! I love my ball of fluff so much and was sad to leave her. The first 2x I brought her to ‘camp’, my dog was a little nervous too. Now when I drop her off, she runs away from me in excitement to go play with the other doggies. She has the best time while there. Everyone who works here is lovely - especially Barb - the owner, and Kenzie - Puppy Manager. I love knowing that my pup is in such good hands and having a blast.
Our dog goes to LWD once a week since he was a few months old and he's 2 now. Every time he comes home he's exhausted and sleeps all night, great for date night without feeling guilty! We like the hours are really accommodating, 7am-7pm. There have been a few occasions where we needed to drop him off before 7am and they allowed it. Barb and her team have been great to deal with and are very caring for the dogs. We like that they take pictures everyday and post them to Facebook. We've also used there boarding services and had good results. There was one time when we had treats for our dog to be given at night, but the treats just came home with us. Highly recommend trying them out. If you end up going a lot, they have packages for daycare visits that could save you a few bucks.
Our 8 month only pitty Ginger has been going to Little White Dog since she was 5 months old and she loves it. Whenever I drop her off she cannot wait to get in the door to play and at the end of the day she is happy and exhausted. Barbara and the team are always so friendly and accommodating and you can clearly see how much they all love dogs. I am so happy we found this place and cannot recommend it highly enough.
Tracy has been pet sitting my cats for a while now, maybe 2 years(?), over which she has developed a good relationship with them all!! She has a lot of availability and she has reasonable rates. She does a great job making sure they are all well attended while we are out. It is hard leaving them since they are older and have some medicines they need- she takes care of it all. Really great to have Tracy taking care of our fur babies!
Tracy is remarkable. She has a gift for connecting with animals and is loving, kind and a best friend to my 86 lb shaggy pup! She has special bond with the all the animals in her care, and they can sense her love and devotion. My dog gets so excited for her walks and cuddle time with Tracy. It gives me great peace of mind when my pup is in Tracy’s care. I can’t recommend Tracy’s Love for Pets enough- Tracy is simply the best!
Tracy genuinely cares about all animals, more than anyone I know. And pets seem to know this. My cat bonded with her more than anyone else ever. Tracy is VERY trustworthy too. If she’s available to take care of your pet/ pets you don’t need to look anywhere else! Thanks Tracy
I get nervous leaving my two cats because we are so attached but I would not trust anyone other than Tracy to care for them when I go away! They are not sociable cats but love Tracy and get obviously excited when they hear her voice, and I believe that that really says something about her as a person and animal lover! She has been available to cat-sit very last minute and is willing to do as many visits per day as my babies need. She sends daily pictures and updates. Tracy is very accommodating and you can tell she genuinely cares about both the pets’ and the owners’ needs. Highly recommend Tracy’s services whether for daily visits or occasional visits!!!
Tracy is by far THE BEST!!! I can not say enough great things about her and the amazing care that she provides our Golden Retriever, Daisy!! Tracy goes above and beyond and is always available, she has been a complete life saver in a pinch! We are beyond lucky to have her in our lives 💗 …
Tracy is awesome! she watches my dog and cat and they both love her so much. she is always available and is very reliable. she goes above and beyond. I will never go to anyone else except for tracy. Highly recommend her to everyone!!!
Amazing dog walker and sitter. Our dog loves her and she clearly loves all her “clients”. She is super responsive and flexible and I trust her completely.
Our 1.5 year old dog has been absolutely loving her time at Z Dog. She’s normally pretty timid, but not at Z Dog. She feels comfortable enough to play all day and is so excited to see the owners. We tried other daycares, but this one takes the cake.
We’ve had a great experience with zdog. Our pup Luna is anxious, and they make a special effort to keep her with smaller groups of dogs so she’s comfortable. Zdog is the only place where she gets along with other dogs, which is great to help her socialize. They’re also always very accommodating of last minute bookings!
I've been with Z Dog for years now and they are by far the best dog care place in South Philly. Owners are responsive to all questions/schedule changes and are available via email, phone, and text whenever I reach out. My dog Lola loves it there and gets a full day of playtime. Makes my life easier when I'm at work knowing she's in great hands. Highly recommend.
Z Dog is a life saver. Since I started daycare for my high energy puppy, she’s been so tired at the end of the day that there’s less chance for mischief at home 😝. She’s happy to go socialize with her friends as well as Natalie, Jose and the rest of the caring staff when I drop her off in the morning. And I get a great, big hug from her when I pick her up in the evening. Highly recommended.
After calling an exhaustive number of doggie day care centers. We found Z dogs for our Pearlie girl. She went for two visits to get acquainted before boarding and it was clear that the owner really cares about the dogs there. Pearl was very well taken care of when she was there, they communicated how she acted and we appreciated that. I want them to do well and I will definitely recommend them to any dog owners I know!
Our dog has been going to Z Dog for a few weeks now and we could not be more pleased with Natalie, Jose and the facility/location. We have put our giant pup in other day cares around the city but none of them compare. Mainly, we love that crate time is not forced upon them. There’s a very nice fenced in yard and the owners/staff post videos of the dogs playing together daily! What really made us feel most comfortable in choosing Z Dog was the tour we given during our orientation. My boyfriend and I are still having to go into work right now and Natalie and Jose have brought us great peace of mind knowing our dog is well taken care of. For that alone, we are forever grateful. I truly cannot recommend Z Dog enough!
Our dog absolutely loves Z Dog! They have a great outdoor space (rare for Philly) and the owners take great care of our pup. Highly recommended!
For approximately 9 months, Z dog has provided excellent pet care for my rescue dog, Fin. I work 16-18 hr days and they have picked up Fin from my home, watched him play and rest in their daycare, and then dropped him off. When I come home, he is content and seems to have had a fun day. I have appreciated their close communication and flexibility through schedule changes, and we will sorely miss them! I would recommend Zdog pet daycare to anyone in the city with a playful pup!
Whenever Rory is slow to get out in the morning, she immediately perks up once she realizes we’re going to ZDog! I’m glad to know she’s in such loving hands while I’m at work. It’s obvious that everyone there loves dogs and treats the dogs that come like their own. I highly recommend ZDog Daycare.
I have used Z Dog Walkers since I moved here 2 years ago. I have consistently used them for walks, doggy day care and boarding. They are top notch in terms of kindness, dependability and flexibility. I have been in desperate situations when they were there to save me (and my dog Maggie:) and have enjoyed numerous vacations knowing Maggie was in the best hands with Natalie and Jose. I would highly recommend them if you desire the best care for your dog!
