Natalie
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Ellie
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Marcel
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Deborah
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Linda
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
Caroline
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Teona
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)

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!

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!!

Great experience. Kate really understands the dogs and help us humans to understand as well! She is an amazing trainer.
I feel so comfortable leaving our dog here for boarding. The care and attention Christy provides is top notch.
Christy is an amazing trainer! An absolute dog whisperer! 🐕🦺 …

Complete Pet Care's name says it all - Complete Sending daily photos, including funning stories of what Pi did, taking my dog to nearby parks for a change of scenery, shutting my freezer all the way (my fault), bringing in my mail. I feel so comfortable leaving my house and Great Dane in Shade's hands.
Shade is a true animal lover and I would highly recommend Complete Pet Care to anyone with pets! Our dog loves her and they had a connection as soon as they met. Shade provides our dog with walks during the week, which have been so helpful in allowing our dog to get her energy out while we are at work. She is reliable, flexible, and very communicative by sending pictures, videos, and updates after every visit. Additionally, she has been a huge help with checking in on/feeding our 2 cats when we go away. As someone who loves their pets and is hesitant to trust other people with them, I feel completely at ease knowing that Shade is taking the best care of them!
Shade is so good with animals. I am so fortunate to have found her. Hope she never moves too far away!

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

Lindsay is absolutely AMAZING with our pups! Shes incredibley responsible, and truly loves our fur babies like her own! She comes with our highest recommendation!
We feel so comfortable having our dog with 302 Pets. Lindsey comes to let out our large puppy weekly. She has even been available on a weekend when our family is busy with sporting events! We are so lucky to have found a reliable service/person we trust with our four-legged family member! ❤️
Lindsay is wonderful!! So easy to talk to, very flexible for my varying needs, and most of all so good with my pup! My dog absolutely loves her. I would highly recommend her services for your pets!
Lindsay is phenomenal! She’s been an amazing caregiver to our pup for several years now. Walks, boarding - she always goes above and beyond and our dog loves her and so do we. I’m very very particular about who we trust with his care and I have all of the confidence in the world with Lindsay.
Lindsay is terrific! My dog loves being around her. She is caring and reliable. Her set up of the room where my dog slept was adorable. We are lucky to know Lindsay. Highly recommend her!
Lindsay took such good care of my dogs when I needed someone to watch them overnight last minute!! Her house has great accommodations, she communicated with us a lot and I felt totally comfortably with her watching our girls!
Lindsay has been walking our two dogs for nearly a year and has been fantastic! She walks them no matter the weather and always has a great attitude about it. She’s done drop ins for us if we are away for the day, which has been great because one of our dogs requires medication. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and a Must hire. Our dogs absolutely love her!
Lindsay is always super reliable and willing to help out when needed. She keeps me updated through photos and messages. She is super kind and trustworthy, my dog doesn’t like just anyone. Every time I say her name, his head perks up. Would absolutely recommend!
Lindsay was amazing with our two dogs who she boarded. She provided us updates and pictures during our 8 day trip which was very comforting and the dogs were obviously well cared for and had a great time in a great environment. She also visited our home to care for our cat during our time away and did a great job with that as well. I would strongly encourage anyone who needs assistance with their animal family members to consider Lindsay and 302 Pets!
Lindsay came to my house twice a day to feed & care for my 2 cats. She was very professional and sent pictures of my boys. I had used Rover previously and was very disappointed. Lindsay is very trustworthy and I will definitely use her services again.

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. See emergency room bill attached 2 followups at pet mechanic south street It was me who called police when she wouldnt return dogs leash or food container also stole the 100 dollars i gave her for his food two days prior 2/7 she is calling and harassing me about this honest review Look at the bills 2500 plus meds special food lost work time etc etc
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’ve been using All Creatures Pet Care for about two years for dog walking, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Brooke and her team are incredibly reliable and always keep me in the loop with frequent updates and photos. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals give me complete peace of mind, knowing my dog is in such capable hands. It’s not easy to find someone who checks all the boxes—pet care experience, reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism—especially when you’re entrusting them to come into your home and care for your beloved pet. I feel very lucky that I found All Creatures Pet Care. If you’re searching for a dog walker you can truly count on, Brooke and her team are the ones to call!
I've never used a company to stay with my dog while I was traveling until now. They were terrific! Brooke and Jenna took such good care of my big boy and were so thorough with updates. I will definitely use them again.
Brooke is amazing! My dog loves going to her house. All I have to do is say Brooke and my dog gets so excited. Brooke takes such wonderful care of our beloved dog. I know that she is well cared for when she stays for the day or overnight visits. And Brooke makes it so convenient with picking up and dropping off at our house. I highly recommend Brooke and All Creatures Pet Care.
All Creatures Pet Care is first-rate. Brooke has taken care of my golden doodle since he was a puppy, sometimes for up to three weeks when I have traveled. The care is exceptional! I never have to worry about my dog as I know he is getting lots of attention. He looks forward to going to Brooke’s house and spending time with other dogs. I give All Creatures Pet Care my highest rating.
We started sending our puppy to doggy daycare with Brooke so she could socialize with other dogs, have fun, and get used to being away from us (pandemic puppy problem--we are ALWAYS home!). Brooke is great and Nova loves going with her! She comes home a happy & tired pup. Brooke is extremely reliable, capable, and great with communication. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend All Creatures Pet Care! Our dogs Chance and Shelby love going to weekly daycare. The socialization and exercise is great for them. They are excited to be picked up and always come home happily tired. We enjoy and appreciate getting the updates and photos from their visits. Plus, the pick up and drop off services are a big time saver for us. We also use All Creates Pet Care for vacation boarding for our dogs. Chance and Shelby are treated like part of Brooke’s family. We have complete peace of mind knowing they are safe, happy and getting personalized care and attention. They also provide dependable home visits for our cats, fish and turtle while we’re away. The fees are reasonable and the services are top quality. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our pets!
I highly recommend All Creatures Pet Care! Brooke and her team are incredibly knowledgeable, responsible and communicative. My normally nervous pup gets so excited to come here each week. We have left her with Brooke for multiple nights in a row and have felt 100% comfortable and at ease. I trust her and appreciate the way she treats our girl like family. Don’t know what we would do without her and the team!
We use Brooke and All Creatures for doggie day care and love it! Brooke is wonderful with our dog and provides so much love and stimulation for all the pups at her house. The communication via text and the app is also excellent and seamless. Highly recommend!
I am so lucky we found All Creatures Pet Care. Brooke and co. are reliable, responsible, caring, communicative, and absolutely dedicated to the pets they take care of. My dog leaves excited and comes home tired and happy. I never worry when he's at All Creatures; I know he's as well taken care of as when he is at home. Love the app, the ease of booking, and the accountability it offers - as well as the pictures Brooke takes of the dogs during their day! All Creatures provides the kind of nurturing pet care our dog loves and the piece of mind we need.
Brooke and her team are literally the best. They will treat your pet as if it were their own. I’ve used them for about two years now, and I will never look elsewhere. They are extremely professional and will handle any of your concerns with the upmost importance. As a busy dog mom, I can assure you that they are the most reliable pet service in our area. They pick up and drop off for almost all of their services and they make it a seamless process through their app. All Creatures will communicate with you one on one and they are always more than willing to answer any questions for you. They provide pictures throughout the day, and you can even track your dog walker through their app. Brooke was a vet tech for years and warned me about an issue with my dog that saved me thousands. I was given faulty advice from my former vet and after leaving them, Brooke recommended a vet who I absolutely love. I also have a very dominant, alpha dog and I wasn’t sure if my training was effective or not so I consulted with Brooke and her team and they were able to provide effective solutions to correct those behaviors. I could honestly go on and on about how much I have benefited from All Creatures. If you are stuck between services or if you are seeking a pet service, I would highly recommend this company. You won’t be let down.

Olivia is amazing with my rambunctious, reactive with strangers at home, quirky dog. She took the time to slowly get to know him and let him know her. She comes to my house to let him out now and he is excited to see her. Marty also goes to her in-home daycare and loves it! Olivia is an amazing Pet Sitter!
I'm so glad I found O & O! I feel so lucky to have her. I never have to worry about how my pet is doing when he's in her care. Olivia is the hardest working person I've ever met. So dependable and caring. I've used her for both daily walking and pet sitting, and highly recommend her to everyone. Five stars!!!
Olivia is my #1!! She is amazing with all the dogs (big and small), and she always goes above and beyond. She gave my pup Leo (the small one) a real home-away-from-home when I travel for work. Safe, clean, and social environment. Love her, and all that she provides! And Leo loves her too! 🐶 …
Olivia was great. She sent me daily reports with a picture of my dog King. It gave me such a piece of mind to know he was in good hands. I definitely will use her service again😊. …
