This was such an enjoyable sit! Everything is just as pictured and Nicole did a great video walk through to make sure I was accustomed to everything. She was quick to respond to any message and very welcoming. Nahla are Polly are so laid back and as sweet as it gets! I would not hesitate to sit for them again in the future.
Michel and Claudine are delightful people and excellent hosts. They shared their lives generously while we sat for them twice in summer 2019, and so we felt very much at home. Their comfortable modern house features large terraces, a landscaped garden, and beautiful views of the bright river Seine on the east and a lush forest hill on the west. So despite the Paris suburb location, living there we experienced a relaxing atmosphere of natural beauty and fresh air. Regarding the family pets, dogs Funky and Huron are intelligent, loving, and well-trained. They are also easy to walk, whether on riverside paths near the house, or on the opposite river bank in a forest. And their little cat housemate, Cali, part-time dog-friend, is an equally memorable character.
Housesitting for Alessia and taking care of her adorable cats, Miss Momy and Enzo, was a delight. Alessia was very welcoming and kindly let me stay the night before the housesit began. She was an excellent host, with very detailed information written out. Communication was easy, even across time zones. Her cozy, colorful home provided a comfortable retreat after exploring Chicago. The location was convenient (close to an L train stop and several bus stops) and it was wonderful being able to walk to the lake. Miss Momy and Enzo quickly won my heart with their distinct personalities. Enzo, initially shy, gradually revealed his playful and affectionate side. Miss Momy showed her affection once trust was established. I highly recommend this sit to anyone looking for a fantastic host and charming cats!
Absolutely a delight! Fell in love with Amber and Sheboo. The house is a fabulous cutting edge art gallery. And super comfortable. The setting is spectacular and there are great trails to explore.
I had a wonderful time at her house. We couldn't meet before she left, but she showed me her house via a video call and left post-its with each pet's feeding and care instructions, which helped me look after the animals and stay comfortable. Cailidh, Otto, Roo, and Darwin were so adorable and loved human company! They were very well-behaved, especially Cailidh. She was very good on all forms of public transport (she was a bit nervous at first, so I stroked her) and walked next to me. She loved chasing squirrels, so just be careful about that. We walked in the field just nearby, which was amazing. If you like walking in nature, I highly recommend staying at her house. The cats followed their feeding routine, woke me up instead of my alarm in the morning (lol), and stayed with me, which was cute. I found the house to be a bit dusty and stuffy, but it was okay when I opened the window and garden door, and the shower was a nice hot temperature. I would like to stay with them if I have a chance. Thank you for having me!
Taking care of Bambi and Lotta’s little apartment in Neukölln was such a pleasure! Bambi is a very attentive, vivid and sensitive girl and if you take her out to explore the green parts of Berlin, this little Wirbelwind will be your best companion as she enjoys and needs a lot of activity. She will thank you with big eyes later on when you return to the flat and sit down in the night for cuddles & tea! In case you want to go out and explore the city on your own, though, that’s possible too, Bambi knows how to entertain herself to an extend and she always slept through the night. Thank you again Lotta, for the clear and friendly communication and for having me stay at your beautiful place with all those warm lights and pretty pottery;) I couldn’t have asked for a better first TrustedHousesitters experience! All the best<3 , Larissa

When dogs chew the plastic, it needs to be replaced, when they have an accident, it needs to be cleaned immediately, so they n employees don’t fall. Aggressive dogs can not be mixed in, you end up at hospital. If someone that knows what they are talking about offers suggestions, listen. Keep dogs moving, people want dogs having fun, playing, interacting, unless they can’t n are elderly. When they come home from work they are tired and their dog should be happy to see them but also feel like they had a busy day. Not , gee! Me, me, me, let’s walk n play for hours now, I had hours of boredom while you were at work! No non spayed or neutered, all shots. If any chance of illness…no do not endanger 50 for 1. The location has the ability to be wonderful. N children should not be brought in to middle to lay around n play with dogs. It is a business, dogs are wonderful animals but once you put 5 together anything can happen. It’s not a child day care a I repeat, kids do not belong on the floor with clients dogs. If a dog bites once you are putting him at risk for bitting again. Step on them, if you bang into them n they have cancer n you don’t know it, a nice dog will bite. You now created an issue for dog owner because you thought it would be fun to have your kids on the floor of a dog day care/ boarding business.
Very expensive for a fair job. I left it to the groomer’s discretion and although my girl was very pretty when I picked her up, they barely cut any hair. i will need to bring her for a haircut elsewhere and pay a nominal fee. Anyway $95 dollars for a wash and a trim for a 10 pound dog is absurd. I will not be returning. Chris and Zoe
Amazing service! I first sent Chloe just for grooming. Then she has done doggy daycare a few days as needed. Always is happy when she sees where we are going. Lia and the team are AWESOME!!!
Our favorite doggy day care spot! Our dog, Houie, goes a few days a month and he absolutely loves the whole team there. He goes running in as soon as we walk through the door. Highly recommend!
They did a wonderful job grooming my Corgi! Everyone there is friendly and their prices are very reasonable. So happy we have a new groomer!
Fuzzy Butts Is The Best Doggy Daycare Out There! I Highly Recommend Bringing Your Dogs To This Establishment Because They Take Excellent Care Of My Pup (OREO) And She Loves It There!!! It's A Win Win 🏆 🐶 …
Amazing place! The team consists of friendly, experienced dog lovers who greet every pup that walks through the door as if it's their own.
I have two rescue dogs who I have to board occasionally, they have high anxiety and we have had bad experiences at previous places but I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs at Fuzzy Butts. It is clear all of the staff I have met care so much for the dogs here and treat them as their own. My dogs who hate going places, love going here even to board! The staff are so accommodating and they communicate so well during their stay.
Our daniff goes to fuzzy butts for regular daycare and boarding. When we get out of the car he runs to the front door and is genuinely excited to see everyone and spend time with his other doggie friends. He had major separation anxiety and a very particular diet due to his size (he needs three meals plus a day) and fuzzy butts has been more than accommodating. The staff are extremely friendly and we love the daily picture updates!
Fuzzy Butts is top tier! The staff is extremely friendly and personable. They go above and beyond to make your pup feel at home. On top of all that, their facility is state of the art. I am extremely happy that my dog is a Fuzzy Butts pup!
I have been using Jim for dog walking and boarding since my 10 year old dog was a puppy. He is reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. Most importantly my dog is crazy about him.
I didn't think I'd be able to find anybody that I trusted as much as much as my close friend who had been walking my dog while he was in between jobs. Not only is Jim very dependable, but he's also willing to deal with my sometimes fluxuating schedule. I highly recommend him.
Asked Jim pretty last minute to see my cat when we went away for for a week. He came over the next day, got oriented, and then checked on her every day for a week. Rates seem fair, he played with her, did litter and food and brushing. Seemed to look for things to do for my cat. Will use again and do recommend.
Loved it
Been taking our pups here since 2009 and we all love it! Our pups always come home exhausted from their play! The staff evaluate the dogs to ensure a good fit and friendly atmosphere. They are so sweet and treat our pups like family - so caring and loving. They also offer boarding and grooming services and we recommend those as well. The hours are great and pricing very reasonable. They've been super flexible when we've had a last minute ask for a weekend boarding. We're so lucky and appreciative to have found this gem years ago. Love, C, V, and past pups: Jules, Lady, Angel.
I've been a customer here for 14 years, with 4 dogs over those years. My dogs have always loved this place, where they have lots of room to run around, lots of toys to play with, and people who truly love them and get to know each dog. They celebrate birthdays, Santa comes for Christmas pictures, and there is nothing better than Halloween at Bark Avenue! The staff is great, the place is spotless, and my dogs are nice and tired at the end of the day!
We are extremely satisfied with Bark Avenue. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I feel so at ease whenever i drop off my dog because i know that hes going to be in good hands. Sometimes they even post photos or videos on their facebook feed and every once in a while i get to see my pup running around. It makes my day knowing that hes happy and playing with other dogs. I also love that they split up the dogs by energy level, not just size, so i know my small dog is around other pups who wont be too aggressive with him. Im so happy i found this place. And i know my dog loves it too, because he gets so exciting when we ask him if hes ready to go to "school".
So great to be back at Bark Avenue! We moved and started taking our Basset Hound to another day camp. Not sayin’ nothin’ but the name of the franchise rhymes with “Messed Ends” Rather than go into all the problems with them, I’d like to list just a few of the ways in which Bark Avenue distinguishes themselves from the aforementioned chain. 1. Bark Avenue retains customers and staff 2. They recognized Ike (after a 3 year absence) and welcomed him back with great warmth and enthusiasm. 3. Their hours are much more convenient 4. When Ike is bathed or gets his nails trimmed (by Marydean) the work is noticeable. 4. Best of all the director and staff seem to genuinely enjoy the dogs! Bark Avenue is not fancy or pretentious, but we trust them implicitly to care for our “best friend.”
I have a 7 month old rottweiler and I don't know what I'd do without bark avenue to tire her out while I'm at work. Great staff and very fair rates!
One of my dogs has gone since she was a small pup. I have nothing but good things to say. She loves it there and they are very accommodating!
My licensed therapy dog was bit terribly. Then, they try to make it sound like it was my dog's fault. My dog is very friendly and has NEVER had an incident. I'm now sitting at the animal hospital because my dog has severe wounds from the attack. Never again!
Redford loves going to “school” to socialize with his other furry friends at Bark Avenue! Great staff that cares for the animals as if they are their own
Love this place! We have been taking our dogs for years and they always come home happy and tired. We know they are well loved.
Our dog Sydney loves going gets her out of the house and socialize with other dogs and a great staff also!! Highly recommend!!
Sleepy Paws is the best pet sitter I have ever used. Their love of animals is evident in everything they do! They are trustworthy and customer service comes first with them. Thank you Kim, Dave and Josh for putting my mind at ease every time I cannot be home for my pets!
Sleepy Paws is the best! You can truly feel your dog is well-cared for and loved while you are away while they are in their care. We have been using them for several years and I can not recommend them enough!
I have been overly impressed with the amount of professionalism and care Kim and Dave from Sleepy Paws have given to me and my golden doodle. This is the first time I’ve tried a home sitting service, but my dog has so much anxiety going to anyplace but his own home, I thought I’d give them a try. The communication they would send me every time they visited my dog to let me know he was doing well and being well cared for was top notch! They were so flexible and when I texted late at night to say my plane was delayed and I didn’t make my connection, Kim immediately responded telling me not to worry and they would take care of my dog until I got home. They always went above and beyond my expectations and my dog absolutely loved them! On top of all of this, I felt that their pricing was very good. I traveled a lot, so having a company and people that I could trust and take great care of my dog was very important to me. I would highly recommend Sleepy Paws. They are great people and a great company.
Sleepy Paws has taken care of our 2 kitties for the last two years whenever we go out of town. They always can fit us in their schedule, even for last minute trips, and in a couple situations when trips were extended/flights canceled, Sleepy Paws was able to come for the extra days needed. They always leave detailed notes about each visit, so we know one of our kitties loves to play with them while the other is more shy, but we also know both are in great hands while we are way. Great service, highly recommended!
So glad that we found Sleepy Paws since we're new to the area and have 2 cats, one of whom is on medication. Dave was very flexible and worked around my last minute travel changes. Use them with confidence!
Great customer service..friendly dependable and the cats are cared for while we enjoy a getaway trip.
Your treasured family members will be in good hands using their service.
Always a great experience.
About five years ago, I received a recommendation to use Shawe’s Paws. I had just rescued my dog Charlie and needed a dog walker during the days. Jenn at Shawe’s Paws was there from Charlie’s first walk and is still walking Charlie today! Not only is Jenn friendly, reliable and loves Charlie as if she was her own, but she knows how to handle Charlie’s quirks and personality. I feel 110% comfortable using Shawe’s Paws, they are trustworthy, dependable, flexible and I know my dog is always well-taken care of during her mid-day walks!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jen is truly one of the best dog walkers out there. Our dog Oscar is obsessed with her - to the point where she tries to walk quietly by our house if she's going to walk our neighbor's dog so he doesn't hear her! On Oscar's first birthday, I was traveling for work and Jen took Oscar to the store to get him a birthday cake toy. It's the smaller, thoughtful things like this that make her irreplaceable in our pup's life. She also takes super cute pictures (attached) and sends an email about how each walk went. She makes leaving Oscar for work trips less hard because I know that he'll be so excited to see her when she comes for his walk!
Jen and the Shawe's team have been walking my family's dogs for 7 years or so. They have always gone above and beyond to accommodate shifting schedules, schedule or cancel on short notice, and even pick up the phone to talk about any pet concerns we might have (unrelated to them! just for advice!). My pup Ollie loves seeing his walkers and I could not do my job without the peace of mind that someone responsible will come take him out and play with him while I work. Bonus - they take the best pics of my little guy while they visit!
We have been using Shawe's Paws for over 6 years and we couldn't be happier! They are responsive, flexible and have always taken great care of our dogs. And now with the new portal it's easier than ever to schedule and get feedback from the walk (and pics!). Thank you to Jen and her team!!
We have had an incredibly positive experience with Jen and her team at Shawe's Paws! When we first moved to Philadelphia, our dog was very shy and timid around walkers that we would hire through various apps, but then Jen came and saved the day. She goes above and beyond to make Benji comfortable and now he gets excited when we just say her name. They send photos and updates during the walks, they make scheduling so easy and they are very accommodating! We have also had positive experiences with a few other members on her team! Everyone at Shawe's Paws is reliable, trustworthy and they all just love Dogs! We would recommend their company to everyone!
I have been using Shawe’s Paws for over a year now and have nothing but amazing things to say about the company!! After several bad experiences with other dog walking services, finding Jennifer was such a relief! My furbaby is in love with her and her assigned walker, Jake. She is always accommodating and treats my dog as if she is her own. Their app makes scheduling and paying so easy. I highly recommend Shawe’s Paws!
I’ve used Jen and her walkers for over 5 years now and I honestly would never use any other dog walking service in Philly. She is trustworthy, reliable, AND LOVES all of her dogs. And my dog absolutely loves her dog walkers, as I’ve been able to see a couple times when my dog will go running toward them, tail wagging if we happen to bump into them on the street. Jen uses an easy-to-use app to schedule walks/pay invoices and to see the daily walk reports which is super convenient. Also Jen makes herself available for every client and will always try her best to accommodate any late requests - I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had to put in a last minute request for a same-day dog walk or for an overnight stay the week-of and Jen will always make it work. Aside from that, it’s great to get pictures of my dog on her walk while I’m at work - I truly never have to worry Sophie when I’m not at home because I know she’s in such great hands. Love Shawe’s Paws!
Jen and her team has been taking care of our dog since he was brought into our family as a puppy! From consistent walks, amazing walkers and just all around dog people to overnight stays, she has been there for us throughout his life (and will be for the many years yet to come)! Jen is understanding and flexible with last minute changes, which for us happen a lot! Her walkers leave a note about their walk every time and even text/call us from time to time with updates. I have never noticed a thing out of place in out of place after a walker left. The Shawe's Paws team is the only team I trust to take the best care of our dog! Both my wife and I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your dog care need! If you live in Philly and have a dog, CALL JEN!
Jen has been in my dog's life for years (even though we've since moved to the suburbs.) She and her staff are flexible, reliable, and they LOVE their charges/pets. They truly understand my quirky, sweet dachshund and he loves them for it. He even got to sleep over Jen's house!! Jen is super responsive and capable and she chooses excellent staff members. I could go on and on, cannot recommend highly enough!
There is absolutely no one I would trust more with our pups than Shawe's Paws. They are fantastic and dependable for daily walks, and they are there for you if you need to travel without your dog. Shawe's email updates provide you with a story about your dog's walk and a number of pictures as well. We have been a client for six years now. We have no idea what we would do without Shawe's Paws!
Lauren is an absolutely sweet person and she is very fond of Sammy! She has been treating him perfectly the past few days and she sends me texts and pictures of him! The fact that you are able to provide the pet sitting as necessary to make sure our cat is taken care of when we are away is absolutely perfect and we appreciate it very much!
Mariann did a super job of taking care of all our pets. She wiped Gus’ bulldog wrinkles so when we came home he looked perfect! She was very capable at feeding our birds too. Even tossed fish food to our outdoor goldfish. Communication was reassuring while we were away.
I am happy with my pet nanny. She is on time, Has an excellent disposition with my rescue and sends pics and emails daily. She meets my dog where she is and understands her personality. Excellent service. Bravo Sue Durant!
Highly recommend this company and their service! Knowing that someone will be there to give my cat some company and playtime while we’re away helps to alleviate some of the guilt that we have when leaving her. Our Sofie loves her sitters, and we love the daily photos and updates that they send to us. The sitters that we’ve had have both been so friendly and reliable. Can’t recommend this service enough!
We used Pet Nanny for several months until one day we saw their employee abusing our very fragile dog. They will deny it happened, but we saw it with our own eyes.
I used Pet Nanny in December of 2023. I had to pay $20.00 to two different pet sitters, just to meet them and familiarize them with my dog and house. Ok, that's a money grab, but I paid it. The one sitter, whom I pay $20 to come to my home forgot how to gain access to my home in only a short week. She then went to every door in my home and tried to gain access. I'm sure my dog really appreciated that. She was able to gain access because one of our sliders did not lock, lucky for my dog. She was scheduled to come to our home at Noon. We left early for a flight and I needed her at Noon. She did not show up until 1:30. The other pet sitter who was supposed to arrive at my home at 4PM did not arrive until 6:30. For both instances I was told by the office, "They have other jobs!" Caring for my dog is a job! Needless to say I cried all night the first night of my vacation. I was so sorry I hired this service for the care of my dog. I will never hire them again. The customer service and attitude of the office is unprofessional and a disgrace. They act like they are doing YOU a favor by paying inflated hourly rates along with a hidden "Administrative Fee" that you don't know about until you get the bill. I caution anyone from considering this company for your pet care.
Went abroad for as week snd see that my cat Rio got such good care,a- i got detailed reports, pics and was so relaxed knowing she was in competent and caring hands!!!!
I have been using Pet Nanny for 13 years and they have been FABULOUS! They are ALWAYS there for me and my boys. I have had a number of sitters over the years and they continue to find the most amazing dog lovers to take care of my babies when I am not home. Over the years when I have been in a pinch instead of not caring, they have gone over and above and made sure someone stayed at the house with the boys until I got home, that is true customer service. They truly care, and that is something that is not easy to find! They truly care, and that is something that is not easy to find. I highly recommend Pet Nanny
We’ve been using the pet nanny for just a few weeks with our new puppy and are very happy with the service and especially Theresa our walker. She’s definitely made our in-office work days a little easier knowing the dog is well taken care of.
We have been a loyal PetNanny client for over a year now. We have had two primary PetNanny caregivers for our dog 3-4 days a week for an hour during this span. The caregivers walk and play with her as well as provide her with water and lots of love. We receive regular texts and photos from the caregivers at work about how our dog is doing. We have NEVER had a lapse in service. If a caregiver is unavailable, then PetNanny always supplies a backup person. Our caregivers are very experienced with dogs and have provided us with many helpful tips about raising her. Also, PetNanny is incredibly responsive if we have an emergency or unexpected need for dog service. We have never doubted the level of care and attention that our PetNanny walkers have given our dog. It has been consistently excellent. Many of our neighbors have commented on how loving our PetNanny caregivers are to our dog and about how much our dog loves each of them. We have already recommended PetNanny to several friends and family members.
Lisa is incredible. She has helped me so tremendously I can’t even put it into words. My cat Homer is a 16 year old newly diagnosed with diabetes, which makes leaving for holidays and events a bit harder due to his injections. Lisa has helped me more times than I can count, and Homer loves her! It is such a weight off my mind that he is being cared for so well. She sends updates and photos and is always so generous with her time. I can’t imagine what this past year would have been like without her help.
I have used Lisa Burke from Family Style Pet Sitting as my pet sitter for 13 years now. My old dog would actually get excited when he saw us packing for vacation because he knew he was going to go to Lisa’s house for his “vacation.” I never worried about him because I knew he was in the best possible hands. When he was sick and required special care and medicine, she was the only one I trusted. She also takes care of my two cats and my new dog, and she used to take care of my chickens when we had them as well. Highly recommend!!
Lisa was a God send for our family. We had a vacation planned which got changed around a few times due to a family emergency. Lisa was ready at every corner to adjust as she was able. She showed up on time and as expected. She will be used again on our future trips it is nice to have someone that you can trust. Thanks Lisa!
No license No insurance The owner works all day Who is watching your dog cat Cant be trusted, Lies a lot Try and find someone who will steal the money you gave her for dogfood.. Called the police for this review. Do your pet a favor Dont take them here, Your dog will thank you IF you believe this info is incorrect like the owner claims. Call parkside police dept for more info on this unlicensed uninsured business. Ask her what days she works at middletown school or church of media. Full time employee She lies like a trooper My dog ended up in PennVet with an ailment from this unlicensed place. Caught fleas from her 10 cats many times she blamed it on me. Ask before you go Do all animals Dogs, cats, turtles hamsters, have shots before they come to stay? Are shot records on file? Is she licensed, Ask for insurance info. Is there some one watching your pet when she works all day. and is a caterer by night. How many different species of animals stay here. what is the maximum number allowed My dog is wonderful and healthy He gets the finest of care at Matthew Ryan Penn Vet hospital spruce st phila.

try and find some one who will watch your pet with 2 hrs notice on x mas eve for 4 days...
Amazing service! Consistently goes above and beyond. Couldn't be any happier 😁 So glad I found you!! …
I brought my 14 yr. old Cav. King Charles Spaniel, Bella, in for grooming this Am, and was immediately greeted by young, pleasant groomers who instantly made a fuss over her & welcomed her! We met Christina, who introduced herself as her groomer today, and she was so attentive to any details important to me, about my dog! She explained using the stomach support for safety, the drying process, and allotment of time (3-4hrs. is norm), to complete grooming. Timing is important to me, as my dog is frail (though she looks like a puppy), at 14 yrs. old. I was just ecstatic when I received a call that Bella was ready, in under 2 hrs, Yay and kudos to Christina, who showed true caring, kindness, and compassion towards this owner & dog’s needs! Bella looks beautiful! Christina did an excellent job, and I thank her sincerely & will be returning to Sit-Stay-Spa, as good groomers are hard to find!
I love Sit stay spa. They really look after our old girl. And the monkey girl. And listen to exactly what we need done. Our dogs are a lot of work they a patient and kind. And do an amazing hair cut. Would highly recommend them.
Brought our golden retriever for a grooming. Staff was very kind and efficient. My dog seemed to enjoy his time there! He smells amazing and they did such a good job with trimming him. A lot of people have difficulty getting golden retriever’s grooming done correctly and this groomer definitely knows what they’re doing!! Thanks so much sit stay spa from me and Griffin!
I love to take my mini Long-hair dachshund to get washed, groomed and nails clipped. She looks so beautiful after she is done and her coat is shiny and smells wonderful. I can always trust in this spa that she is taken care of and spoiled. They use good quality hair products. The staff are professional groomers and they are very kind, dogs are gently cared for here.
Amazing, sweet groomers here! My dog is 13 with arthritis and anxiety, and this was the most calm and happy he's ever been right after a grooming session, plus his haircut is adorable and well-done. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back for regular grooming.
World class groomers. Best in the Philadelphia area. I have a husky and no other groomers take care of all of my dogs cosmetic needs like Sit Stay Spa. By far the best around. The attention to detail and follow through is like no other facility. I wouldn't want to take my dog anywhere other than here to be groomed.
Awesome experience!! Brought my 50lb lab mix in for a nail trim. They were quick, friendly, affordable and did a great job. Will definitely be back!
My daughter recently spent a day here observing the staff as part of her junior initiative for high school. The owner, Marie, and all her staff are fabulous. The unit is quite small but offers adequate space for multiple dogs to be groomed at once. All dogs that my daughter witnessed during her day were very well taken care of, and they all left looking chique! Marie is incredibly personable and kind and offers pristine customer service. My daughter and I would highly recommend this location. Parking is quite limited.
Truly outstanding experience. First time client. My 16 yo westie had only been groomed by one person so it was a big transition and it went as smooth as possible. I uploaded a picture and the groomed excellently. Professional, talented and efficient team. Thank you!
My dog shakes like a leaf around these people. They don't understand dogs. Unbelievable how unprofessional and cruel these people are to not only dogs, they don't know dog breeds, and they are running a terrible business. I was picking up my dog from his grooming service this afternoon, which they told me they couldn't complete for the third or fourth time, since one of the groomers that used to work there left, so I asked them for an adjustment in the price of the service they provided, since they did not do everything we were paying for, and not only was I met with aggressive language by the owner but was completely surrounded and accosted by her husband and he started yelling at me, standing behind me, which made me incredibly uneasy and uncomfortable. I'd just paid money for services they told me they didn't do after the fact and they wouldn't refund me or discount me. I'm still horrified by the experience.
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!
We reached out to Five Paws very last minute to see if they would be able to watch our dog who had significant medical needs. They were wonderful from start to finish and I was so confident each time that she was in such great care. We've previously had her boarded and she would seem so stressed when we picked her up. We were desperate to find an alternative and we didn't look back once we started using Five Paws. They give updates, pictures and each time we came home she was as happy as can be. They provided such peace for us knowing she was in good hands and was happy especially given all of her medical concerns (dog dementia, blindness, hard of hearing, pain, etc..). Our Sahara has since passed but I would use them again and again with any dogs we may have in the future and cannot recommend them enough.
I don't trust anyone else with my pets when I'm away! I love that I know I will get photos of my cats and a report of how the visit went from the sitter. They take time to give the cats individual attention, not just coming in to feed, clean, and leave. Scheduling is very easy and the rates are reasonable.
Hi: Kudos to Five Paws Recently had Five Paws cat sit our cats and pond fish. The team at Five Paws hit a homerun with us. The team is very professional, respectful and loving to our gang. The team of Melinda and Blythe were so observant of our pets, even going out of the way to feed our strays, without blinking an eye. Special shout out to Melinda who really saved the day as she was feeding the fish in our pond, when she noticed that one of our goldfish got stuck in the filter. Without any hesitation she jumped in to save him, which would have been a disaster if she didn't as he would have passed and fouled the pond water. Five Paws definitely takes the worry out of leaving our pets while away. Five Paws you ROCK!!!!! Thank you very much, The Liberati's
Five Paws provides the BEST pet-sitting service around! Finding them has made time away from our dogs stress-free, as we get fun updates and photos after every visit. The sitters have really gotten to know our dogs, and even our super-shy pup now loves when they come. Highly recommend!
Five Paws has taken excellent care of all my pets (rabbit, cat, mice) for many years now and they do an excellent job! They were even able to give my cat pills (in pill pockets) and coordinated with my vet once when she stopped eating and I could not be reached. They are reliable, responsible, trustworthy, and professional. I will continue to use them when I go on vacation and highly recommend them!
They've taken great care of my cats for a few years! I can relax on vacation, and love getting the photo reports each visit which show how my pets are doing.
We have been using Five Paws for a few years now, for small weekend trips or week long vacations. They have been so wonderful with our pups. It is a relief to know my dogs are in good hands and they can remain comfortable in their own space while we are away, instead of in a kennel which would stress my 13 year old pup too much. I always hate to leave them behind but I am so grateful to know they are happy and healthy and having fun while I’m gone.
We used Five Paws for our cat while we were on vacation. It was the first time we left her behind without family checking in, and I was a nervous wreck. Faith was our sitter, who took wonderful care of our girl. After every visit, we'd receive an update with multiple pictures. We've already put in our vacation request days for this summer!
I HIGHLY recommend hiring Five Paws of Delco! The owner is fantastic, the scheduling process is so simple, and all of the sitters are wonderful! They are EXTREMELY reliable and trustworthy, which is so important when you're away. They also have a great app used to communicate with each sitter and to see pics of your pups! I always receive such a sweet and detailed update from our sitter after every visit. I had an experience where I was out of the country using a different sitter (not Five Paws of Delco) who was supposed to watch my dogs at their house for the week. They decided that they no longer wanted to watch them after a couple days, so they dropped them back off at my house, alone. I was panicking, just having arrived in another country, so I reached out to Five Paws of Delco who immediately responded and scheduled multiple last minute visits for me. I cannot thank them enough for being there during this very stressful time! It's so comforting to know we always have them available to sit for our dogs. I promise you won't regret hiring this company!
We have been using Five Paws for a little over two years for noontime walks and visits for our miniature poodle. They are absolutely the best to work with! Jenn is highly responsive and accommodating. Their staff love what they do and our dog adores all of his Five Paws friends! I trust anyone from Five Paws that comes in to our home. I also love that there is a modern portal for scheduling and billing. We love Five Paws!
