Anne is a very friendly and trustful person. She send us frequently cat-updates with pics and we could see that the cats were very happy with her hence they were cuddling with Anne when she was reading on the sofa. Like arranged, Anne left already when I came back in the evening and the apartment looked like no-one stayed here for 2 weeks. We were very happy with her and higly recommend her as a petsitter. Thx again Anne! .. - especially for the nice letter and pralines you left for us for Xmas!
Wendy and her friend, Barbara Sheehy, house-sat for us for a week in July 2017, looking after our beloved cat, Bella, and watering our many garden pots and planters during a period of hot and dry weather. We were absolutely delighted with how well Wendy and Barbara looked after Bella, our house and garden. Bella is a bit timid and doesn't always take to strangers very easily, but it was clear from the start that both Wendy and Barbara had plenty of cat-care experience and the sensitivity to ensure she was as happy as possible. They both kept in touch during the week with updates on how Bella was and sent us pictures. They left the house clean and tidy, and the garden pots beautifully watered and flourishing. Both ladies (Bella's 'aunties') struck us as highly trustworthy, competent and cheery and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend either or both as housesitters. It was a pleasure to meet them and to have them looking after Bella and our home.

Mike is the most wonderful person with all animals. Even my difficult mixed breed wiggles like crazy when she sees him coming to pick her up.
Highly recommend Pupkit Pet Services! My dog loves going there and is treated like one of the family. All of the dogs (‘the pack’) get along well with one another, get good exercise through walks and playtime, and also have time for naps. They also send updates throughout the day to keep me posted on how my pup is doing. We are so happy to have found Pupkit!!
Pupkit is my go-to for puppy daycare and longer term overnight stays for our very high energy pup! Flavia’s family truly treats our dog like family. He gets so excited when we tell him where he is going. We are so grateful for their services when we are headed out on a trip!
Pupkit Pet Services is wonderful! We love Flavia, Matt and their family. We’ve known them a long time and they’re loving, caring and very responsible. There is no one else we would trust to watch our dog!
Pupkit Pet Services with Flavia is one of the best doggy day cares around! She’s super caring, professional and does everything she can to make sure your pup is safe and happy. Would highly recommend.
Best sitters! Highly recommend.
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.
Jessica is so amazing with our dog and with us. I always feel 100% comfortable when she has my crazy boy out on a walk and know that he is in the best of hands. Her communication is incredible, she always shares great pictures and she doesn’t mind me being a crazy dog mom!!! I am so glad that we found her when we moved to Philadelphia and know that our puppies are in great hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker
Jessica is amazing! She does more than just walk or sit your dog; she knows the importance of your bond and does an excellent job of giving your dog the attention it deserves. Jessica is attentive to the specific needs of my current crazy mutt and she also took very good care of my previous dog who was a senior and blind with very special needs. I have been a client of Boots 'n Paws for a long time and I have been more than satisfied with the services provided.
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!
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.
Deanna was absolutely amazing! Both my dogs received the best care, she was very accommodating to us and the needs of our dogs. She always responded in a timely matter. Will definitely be using her services again!!
Needed a last minute solution to dog sitting, decided to try Judy’s from a friend referral, I was asked if interested in a complementary dog grooming, which turned out great. Apprently being new and upcoming business they have this promo for so many days of dog sitting or so. When I came to pick up Lady (my dog) she was outdoors and ready to go without any wait. Of course I will use again. Only problem was dog wasn’t that excited to see me as she was with previous sitters.
We recently used Judy's pet to dog sit while we were on vacation for a week. They did an amazing job. They kept us updated with daily texts and pictures. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend and will use them again.
Thanks for taking care of and comforting our little guy while we were gone! He definitely appreciated all the play time and walks!! Now we don’t have to worry about him in planning vacations knowing he has new best friends to go to. It’s pretty much like a vacation for him as well 🤗” …
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.
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.
They take amazing care of us and our dog.
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.
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.
