Sharon was an excellent sitter who I knew was taking great care of my two dogs while away. She walked them, was a clean guest, and sent regular pictures and updates. I’d recommend her to anyone.
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.
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.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Having traveled with our pets for many years we had the opportunity for a two week vacation, however no pets were allowed. We left our pups in the care of Pampered Paws Pet Care. The first day we were very happy with the care our girls received. The communication was first class. Pictures, text messages and an occasional story was welcome everyday. We highly recommend Pampered Paws Pet Care. Thank you Diane for the great care you gave our babies. ❤️💕. Mike and Trish. ❤️💕
Pampered Paws is wonderful! When my husband had to return to the office after working from home for two years, I was in a panic about my senior dog being home alone. Lisa and Diane quickly worked to set up a meet and greet, and get our pup on the schedule. Our walker Gina is gentle and kind with our dog. I can tell by her photos and sweet notes how much she cares. It has been so reassuring having this company to work with. Lisa and Diane are very accommodating to our changing needs and schedules. Highly recommend!
Diane and her team members have cared for our dogs for 8+ years. I trust every single team member and the care they provide. We have travelled abroad and at no time Have I ever worried about a thing. They take excellent care of our dogs and respect our home as we have them stay overnight. They communicate frequently and with lots of pictures. Our pack has some very specific quirks and they know how to deal with all of it. Any chance I get I recommend Pampered Paws and in fact know those referrals couldn’t be happier.
I highly recommend Pampered Paws Pet Care. The staff is always quick to respond and very attentive to the unique needs of each animal in their care. Our anxious dog always enjoys visits to the farm with Diane and all the other animals. We know that our dog feels safe and very well cared for either for a day, a long weekend or a weeklong vacation. The daily check-in texts and videos let us know our dog is completely comfortable and having fun at the farm. Safely meeting other dogs and enjoying the horses and chickens. That allows us relax on vacation, which is priceless. Lisa Z Chester Springs
The owner of pampered paws is an amazing human who absolutely adores all creatures. As a result she treats her business of caring for your pet with extreme attention to detail and love. She personally cared for our dog on multiple occasions and I could tell while we were away and when we returned home he was well cared for. Multiple pictures and reports while we were away allowed us to enjoy our vacation. When he would see her he got sooo excited. She has volunteered so much of her time to help animals in need and truly cares. Her farm is adorable and spotless if you would be interested in a slumber party. I would not hesitate if you are considering her services.
I have used Diane and her team for many years, and I can't say enough great things about them. They have taken care of my dogs wonderfully and with the utmost care. When my dog needed medication during the day they were excellent at providing the needed treatment with no hesitation. I would trust these fine folks with any of my pets at any time. They have truly helped us out with all of our pets needs. I would highly recommend this service above all others. GREAT TEAM!!!!
My experiences with Pampered Paws have been nothing but fabulous. The dog walkers clearly care about my dogs and send me the cutest pictures after walks! When we have traveled they take great care of the pets and have brought in the mail and watered the plants too. Everyone is very professional and caring and I highly recommend them!
In Diane’s first email, she tried to steer us toward boarding saying how clients send pets to her farm for “slumber parties”. If we wanted to board them, we wouldn’t be reaching out to a dog sitting service. At the intake meeting, she tried that approach again. We passed again for the same reason. Is she licensed to board? She eventually shared she's understaffed. Anyway, we went through all the things she wanted to know – locations of food, litter box, medicines, routines, etc. and she took notes. She made a big deal to her staff (that were also there) about not letting our mill rescue out without her collar. The first day of the actual gig Diane sent us a pic of the mill dog in the yard. You know who let the dog out without its collar? She did. Then blamed the dog for being “overstimulated”. Our passive, traumatized, ‘go to zero’ when anxious puppy mill mamma. The collar wasn’t a big deal, but her lack of accountability and blaming the dog, the crate, and everything else didn’t sit well. We had left a note on the counter explaining the things we’d discussed during the intake because people forget. She texted asking where the food was. I showed them where the food was during the intake and had written it in the note. Clearly she hadn’t taken the time to read it. She did, however, take the time to say something passive aggressive about how it would’ve been more helpful to have emailed her the note before the visit. If that’s your preference, say as much up front. So it was somehow our fault. The first overnight sitter wasn’t able to arrive at the contracted time. Life happens. Diane stepped up and made sure the dogs were let out and fed, then left. We contracted that the visits would be from dinner through to the morning so our mill mamma rescue wouldn’t be alone her first nights without us since having been rescued. That was the job. After Diane texted she was leaving, she sent no further updates. I texted her at one point to ask for a status (which she should’ve been pushing out to us), but she didn’t respond. We ended up asking our listed emergency contact (also a client of Pampered Paws) to come up and hang out until the pampered paws sitter arrived. When we still had heard nothing, we called Diane. She answered, I think because she knew the sitter was "on her way". Diane spun the whole thing into a joke, “Gracie is like a little celebrity tonight.” That’s not what that was. She never offered an apology for the interruption in service or for putting us in the position of chasing down coverage. She did take the time to text us that she hoped the key was back where her sitter expected it to be. It wasn’t. Unlike Diane, our neighbors waited until the overnight sitter arrived and handed her the key. From our point of view, it was something of a “cluster” (to use Diane’s vernacular). We chalked all the oddities and disconnects up to learning curves and unexpected life events and didn't want to have to expose our trauma dog to a new set of people, so we decided to book a second, longer gig. It took a week to settle on all the dates and people and Diane sent us the final confirmation. Then pulled out later that same day, and put it off on us. In her email she wrote, “I do not feel like you wanted us there in the first place.” I don’t know if that’s gaslighting or classic projection, but we wouldn’t have spent seven days ironing out a schedule if we didn’t want them here. If we didn’t want them here, we wouldn’t have reached out. She asked if she could drop the key off the next day, but didn't even honor that. Instead, we got an email late that night that she decided to drop it off in our mailbox 1/3 of a mile from the house. It was an unprofessional and passive aggressive way to end things. During this same week, Outlook (where my emails are sent from Gmail) went through a migration to the cloud. There must’ve been a glitch because I saw Diane had used a BCC on at least one email without telling us. Be aware you don’t know who Diane has on her email threads (which is both unprofessional and unethical).
I have been a lucky member of the Pampered Paws Team now for about 6 months. I cannot say enough positive things about Diane, Annaly and the rest of their team. When I first met with them, they were extremely cognizant and aware of my dog's needs. They also work with my schedule every week and are extremely reliable. I get a text update with every visit and it puts my mind at ease knowing my dog is in the best hands. They treat my dog like their own!! I am extremely lucky and grateful I found their service and I would not pick and/or trust any other business with my fur baby. Thank you Diane and Annaly!!
Pampered Paws is the absolute best! They have been caring for my dogs for nearly 2 years, providing weekly mid-day visits and overnight care on multiple occasions. They provide updates at each visit to let me know how things are going. They treat my dogs like they are their own and I never have to worry when I am away. I have recommended them to multiple family members and friends. Everyone loves them! If you are looking for reliable, caring, personalized care for your pets, Pampered Paws is the place to find it.
After adopting a second puppy this summer, we had to find a new solution for pet sitting. While our puppy is very sweet she is also incredibly nervous and shy. She took a few months to warm up to us so we were very nervous about a pet sitting plan for vacations. Fortunately, we lucked out meeting Emma and Sandy with Jurassic Bark. They quickly fell in love with our two dogs and put us as ease knowing our dogs were in great hands. They provide wonderful photo updates and were easy to communicate with if needed. They’re attentive and willing to help with anxious-dog parent details. We were even pleased to see our nervous pup warm up to these dog lovers and enjoy snuggling on the couch together. It’s safe to say our dogs had a lovely vacation away from us! We can’t thank Jurassic Bark enough and will recommend to anyone looking for pet sitting needs!
Last week our sweet Lily had a pup-cation at Jurassic bark while we were away. She came home exhausted but happy and showed no signs of separation anxiety. This is due to the care she received from Emma and her staff. Jurassic Bark is the best place for Lily to have stayed while her humans were away. They loved her and treated her as if she were their own. We received daily update with pictures of Lily making new friends and playing. She had a great experience!
Jurassic Bark is incredible! Emma is so quick to respond and does her best to get your pets covered. Our dogs love when Emma comes to visit and we love knowing our dogs are happy and well taken care of. The detailed updates and photos during each visit give us such peace of mind! We’ve also worked with Sandy who is amazing as well! Thanks Jurassic Bark!
I’ve been using Emma and her team for drop in visits and walks with my dog and they have been absolutely wonderful! Great communication and I know my sometimes anxious pup is in caring and loving hands! Highly recommend!
A big shout out to Jurassic Bark for taking such great care of our buddy while we were on vacation. Our guy can get pretty stressed out boarding but came home calm and happy. They post daily updates with pictures and a little bit about how their day went. I own a local dog grooming business and will recommend them 1,000 percent to ALL of my clients . Thank you Jurassic Bark🙏🏻🧡🐾
Jurassic Bark for the win! We used the In Home Vacation Care and it was a lifesaver! The communication was excellent and we felt like our dog and home were in great care. I would highly recommend Jurassic Bark🐾 …
Jurassic Bark has cared for our cat, dog and rats for years. Emma is amazing with all of the animals. Recently, I had made arrangements for a family member to take one of my dogs. With only 3 weeks before my vacation, the plans fell through. Emma was able to help us on short notice and our vacation was saved. And best of all, I know my fur babies will be safe and happy with the staff at the resort! Adding to this since we have returned from vacation. I had pictures and updates in my email every day. I think my dogs truly had a better vacation than I did! Even my shy girl was snuggling with the staff and pawing for attention.
We never left our first dog anywhere. When we got our newest dog during Covid we were lucky enough to find Jurassic Bark. It has been great for our dog and us.
Emma has taken such wonderful care of my pup. She sends you the details any pet parent would wonder about. Her personal dogs are so kind to my pup and I loved seeing them play together. I’ve never had to worry that my little guy wasn’t being well taken care of. The best part is the photos she shares with you. You can tell your furry friend is well taken care of. She gives her heart to everyone she cares for! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!
Emma is wonderful to work with! We love to travel but I hate leaving our dogs. I know that I don’t have to worry with Emma taking care of them. I love that they get to stay in their own home and I get updates and pictures every day of how they are doing. My pups are always excited to see her! Highly recommend working with Jurassic Bark!!
We needed a pet sitter at the last minute for a two week vacation. Carla was available to meet with us right away, took excellent care of our cats, and sent us detailed updates after every visit. Her prices are very reasonable and she was extremely professional. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.
Carla is the best. She takes great care of our cat when we're out of town and even helped with last minute emergencies. Highly recommend.
Carla is the best! And she takes the most perfect pictures
Will took care of my dogs for the day while I was at a wedding. One of my dogs has separation anxiety and will tear things up if left alone in new places. I called around to see if I could get her boarded for the night, but no one responded. It ended up working out, because Jogs with Dogs worked with me and sent Will out for the day to watch them, the price was reasonable and I was able to enjoy the wedding without worrying about them! Thank you again!
Love working with Jogs with Dogs! They take great care of my chocolate lab, and give him great attention on his walks. They’re always sure to leave me a photo/video of him during the walks! Would definitely recommend trusting them with your pets!
I recently relocated to the Exton area and came across Jogs with Dogs pet services. They were great with my lab, professional and super responsive which I appreciate the most. I feel very comfortable leaving my boy in their care. I travel alot and knowing I have this team to help take care of him feels good. Thanks!
Phil was fantastic with my special needs Frenchie. He carried her up and down steps, fed her, gave her meds and stayed overnight while I was away for work. He sent daily updates and took great care of her. Highly recommend Phil and Jogs with dogs for your pet sitting needs!
Since moving to Exton, have used Jogs with Dogs. Nothing but great things to say. My dog gets an excellent 30 min walk/run for $30 and (he told me) he comes back happy every time. Phil is clearly an animal lover, and my dog warmed up to him instantly. This is the service I'd use again when moving to this area. Cannot say enough good things.
Phil does a great job with our Bailey. He clearly loves animals, is very caring, and reliable! Bailey loves his daily walks with Phil, always excited to see him!
Best Pet Sitter I've ever had! Caring, reliable service with an obvious love for animals! My three newfs, including my very shy rescue pup, felt safe under their care! I loved the text and photo updates each visit! I could vacation with full confidence that they were in good hands.
I am so happy we found Jocelyn! We had a terrible experience with another PetCare group when we got married out of the country. Jocelyn is great with animals! She was able to get my dog to like her! I was worried that it might not go well, but she’s a natural and knows what she’s doing. She is pleasant and easy to work with. She took great care of our dog and cat for the week. I would highly recommend her!!!
The BEST service! Hands down! Very intimate but yet professional. It feels amazing to have someone I can trust with my little guys. Jocelynn is great at what she does and so knowledgeable on training and feeding and has become a big part of my two puppies (Both still under 2 years old)'s growth! Thank you so much for your services! I will now ALWAYS recommend you to anyone I know!
If I could give 10 stars I would, Jocelynn was AMAZING, we did the over night stay for 2.5 days and they warmed up to her immediately. Let me tell you they had the time of their dog lives running and playing and a vacation from the kids lol. She was so caring and sweet. It was last minute and she had no problem at all. The way she cares for dogs and her customers is amazing. There is no hesitation at all to say she is by far the best and we will be telling people about her because she deserves that much. What free spirited person.
Noah's Pet Motel Noahs, we love taking Stella! She's an almost 2 year old Doberman. Noahs offers everything from ice cream, food is available or bring your own, couches, blankets, play time, and the best interaction with staff. By the way! They are ranked number one in the area! We looked for the best place. I know Stella's getting the best care.
We used to use a different kennel and our dog always came back with kennel cough. Now we use Noah's their facility was clean, didn't smell and our furry friend came back great! I highly recommend them.
We boarded our ferrets with Noah’s this past weekend. It was a great, easy experience. Prices are great and all staff was wonderful. We will be back for all of our pets boarding needs.
Dakoda always enjoys her days @ doggy daycare playing with her friends. We recently boarded her there & were very pleased. Staff is very friendly.
Very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Our pup has left very happy both times she's stayed at Noah's. Can't ask for anything more.
I could not be happier with my experience with Noah’s Pet Motel! This was my first time boarding my dog, and I was a bit nervous. They walked me through the facility, answered all my questions, and really put my mind at ease right from the get go! When I dropped my pet off as well, I was headed to my car and was able to hear the staff talking to my pup as they led her to the kennel - they were welcoming her, and saying what a sweetheart she was, and were being so gentle and kind. 💕 Whoever did the grooming, as well, also did an amazing job! My dog has NEVER been so soft in her entire life and smelled so good !! All in all, Cricket had a great time, and I was able to have a great time knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I HIGHLY recommend Noah’s Pet Motel, and they’re going to be my go-to from now on for all my boarding, daycare, and grooming needs. 💕💕💕
Please beware Jenna is very rude and unreasonable customer service is horrible, be prepared to get hit with unknown fees at Geena discretion will never bring my dog back there, dogs are o my watched from 9am-12pm and 4-6pm for that you should just leave your dog home. My dog smells horrible every time I pick him up. Never again.
Our Bearded Dragon recently spent 8 days in the care of Noah's Pet Motel. The staff did a great job caring for her; we couldn't be happier. Beardies, and reptiles in general, require very specific care in terms of diet, temperature, humidity, and other factors. Noahs' staff understands reptiles and provided our pet with an ideal environment. They always provided me with a detailed update about our pet when I phoned them. Arriving at the motel, one will notice the neatly manicured grounds...a great first impression! Inside, the reception area is well-organized and always staffed with an employee. The entire facility is VERY clean. I'll gladly bring our Beardie back to Noah's!
This is a very nice facility that's well run by knowledgeable people. I've had only good experiences here. Highly recommend!
I was trying to set up boarding. I spoke extensively about my dogs epilepsy to the representative I talked to at the getgo... I spoke about dosing, the amount of meds...etc. She said it would be fine. I went to get their extensive shot list. And came for a behavior assessment and was turned away the first time because they didn't have all they needed booster wise. I didn't put up a stink...I understand vaccine importance. Rescheduled my assessment and came back this time when I discussed dosing my dog the front desk person rejected me. I have taken hours off of work twice not counting the multiple vet visits for their crazy shot list to get this boarding scheduled. I spoke about my dogs health condition from the beginning...they have wasted both my time and my money telling me it was fine then suddenly saying it wasn't.....
We absolutely love this place! My dog Pepper comes home exhausted from all the fun outside and the one on one walks are really great for her. She gets a lot of attention and I know she is treated very well. It makes it that much more enjoyable for us when we’re away to know that Pepper is having fun too.
I have been taking my miniature Schnauzer to Primrose Lane farm for two years now and I am very happy with it. Kristin, the owner, is very invested and a true professional. She doesn’t take that responsibility lightly and she pays very close attention to the well being of the dogs that are under her care. Every time my dog stays there, I text regularly asking for some news and Kristin quickly sends an update. I feel lucky to have found a great place for our dog to stay at and I know that he is safe and well taken care of there.
This place is the best! I first boarded my dog here in 2004 when I became a pet owner. I have traveled many times for work and left my pup here for extended stays up to a week or two at a time. In 2009 I drove my dog all the way from Arizona (I had relocated in 2007) to PA because a business opportunity would take me away for over 30 days, and this is the only place I trusted for good care of my "son". I boarded my dog here for more than 30 days and he was in great shape and health when I picked him up. I mentioned John's name later that same night and my pup got all excited thinking he was going back the same day. John and Primrose Lane are amazing. They have cared for my dog as one of their own and they have so much love and knowledge for pets and are a rare find. I have recently adopted another pup and today I brought him to play and meet and greet. My pup spent over an hour playing with one of John's personal dogs and they did amazing. The owners are so knowledgeable on dog behavior and are very observant and involved in the play and care of every pet as if their own. After 13 years of history, I still made this my first place for boarding and doggie daycare! If you want an affordable and family oriented place you should give them a call. They are a family business and are flexible and was always a second home for my pup. Thanks so much Primrose Lane!!!
This place is great! We bring our dog here everyday for doggie daycare. He loves going here, and it allows him to get his energy out during the day! We live close by, but my husband and I both work 40 mins to an hour away. They have been so flexible and wonderful to work with when we can't get there right at 6pm to pick him up. Primerose allows us to give our dog the quality of care we want for a price we can afford.
We wanted to like this place. It sounded so perfect for our dog. A nice field, knowledgeable business owner, etc. But after a few months and many frustrations, we are switching and urge you to look elsewhere if you are looking for someone to care for your pet. First of all, communication is TERRIBLE. Trying to get ahold of someone? Have a question or concern? Be prepared to keep it to yourself because no one will answer your emails or calls. If you call, they tell you to text instead. If you text, you receive no reply. Want to board your dog? Make sure you send an email MONTHS before and check in regularly. If you can, try to grab the owner in person to get a straight answer because you will never hear from them. If you do board, make sure you prepare yourself to bring home a neglected dog. We provided the exact amount of food for each day and received a whole day's worth of food back. This was the last straw for us. We were told that the workers (teenagers) switch shifts and they must have forgotten to feed our dog. Can you imagine if someone said that about a family member who was incapable of feeding themselves? "Oopsies. We must have forgotten to feed her meals." The place is also run by teens who have absolutely zero clue on what is going on with the business so they are unhelpful with any questions. If you want someone to care for your dogs, look elsewhere.
We have left our 2 year old lab several times, and just left our rescue beagle/lab for 5 days. John takes excellent care of the dogs, and we don't worry at all while we are gone. He's also an excellent communicator; we can email during our trip to check on the dogs and we always get a response. We had tried other boarding places, and nothing compares.
In the past, we used this kennel. We have a very social, friendly dog who has a lot of energy but has also been trained. We felt very confident in the reviews, but upon picking him up, were shocked and disgusted. Our dog, who is crate trained and can last all night without any accidents, and can last 7 hours during the day without accidents, was pee-soaked. Not just smelling like pee - his stomach, legs, paws, and tail were drenched. This tells us that he was spending way too many hours in a crate to be in this condition. He also has large sores on him from obviously laying around in the crate. We sent toys for him to chew on, which had not seen any obvious use while he was there, and a bed that likewise - looked unused. We will not be returning, and I personally am very upset that I allowed my dog to stay here for the week. I understand that there are some great reviews about this place, because that is why we picked it, but if looking for a place to board your dog, please take caution if considering Primrose Lane Farm.
I was under some very unfortunate circumstances and had to board my dog for 2 months. As difficult and stressful of a time this was, John at Primrose made things a lot easier and a lot less stressful on me. Just like many pet owners, my dog is like my child and I seriously cannot thank John and his family at Primrose lane enough. They gave me such a peace of mind at an awesome price. Next time I go away and need a place for my dog to stay I know exactly where I’m dropping him off. Thanks again Primrose Lane Farm!
We have been using Primrose Lane for about 5 years and we love it. We have a Cane Corso Mastiff and a pitbull. Both of which we rescued. John has helped us so much with different issues we have come across with both dogs. He is such a great resource! I find dogs to be a great judge of character. I take comfort in seeing how excited my dogs get when they see John and his staff. We know our dogs are well cared for and in great hands at Primrose.
I really wanted to like this place... From the first visit I had a bad feeling about this place. We setup an appointment to come see the place and on the phone the owner said to send him the time of the visit and assume we are good if he doesn’t get back to me. I thought that was weird and not very business friendly to not get back to your customer but moved ahead with the appointment. My husband and I brought our 2, 50 pound dogs to the farm where we met the owner. I could tell he was hesitant to bring us inside the building because we just stood outside where we parked for 15 minutes. I finally asked to see the inside and he took us “in”. There is an entrance to the barn house and then inside there is the entrance to the pens with a door and a curtain over it. He pretty much took us in the entry way where we could see how incredibly filthy everything was. There was hair caked everywhere, it looks like it has been there for years! The smell was awful and there where flies everywhere, which usually means feces. The owner did not let us see the kennels where they keep the dogs, I thought this was originally because we had our dogs and he thought they may disturb the other dogs. He assured us the dogs get walked multiple times a day. When I asked how long the walks where he said, “as long as they’ll go”. We have 2 high energy dogs so in my mind, I thought that sounds great. He also said they let the dogs run on the farm where the horses are. Aside from the filth it all sounded too good to be true. I wasn’t completely convinced but my husband thought it would be fine since they would get so much exercise. I ended up visiting a few other places that seemed fine and much cleaner. Also, the other places took me back to the kennels no problem. That got me thinking, I want to see the kennels the dogs would be staying in to make sure they are at least clean. I drove back to Primrose and was told firmly that I was not allowed to see the Kennels. I asked why, they said “for insurance reasons”…What insurance reasons exactly would prevent me from looking at where my dogs will be boarded. It was complete BS obviously. I’m sure it’s filthy back there just like the rest of the place. We ended up leaving our dogs at Primrose for a weekend (against my better judgement). We drove 5 hours back and were so excited to pick up the dogs that we stopped at Primrose to get them before going home. When we got there they informed us (rudely) we cannot pay with credit card and that we’d need to come back to get our dogs with proper payment. Sure, I understand you want your money but not taking credit card? Are you kidding, it’s so easy for business’s to accept credit cards just with using a mobile device and that attachment. We eagerly drove home and get the check book and come back to get our dogs. It’s only 3:30 at this point. According to the owner the dogs are running around outside all day and then brought back in when they open. We got our dogs finally. They smelled terrible but that’s to be expected from just entering that place. The thing is they were pretty clean. When they play on our 1.5 acre yard there feet get dirty they get some grass stains, there was none of that. When we got them home they were so wound up like they hadn’t been outside for days. They immediately went outback and peed and pooped then ran around like crazy playing. This would not happen if they were getting there “3 walks a day” and all day play time as advertised! We have taken our dog to Dogtopia and I can tell you when they come home from there they fall asleep right away. This place is a complete scam. It sounds too good to be true because it is. It’s obvious the kind of care they put into the dogs based on the looks of the facility. Never again!
Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is very professional and detail oriented. The photos she sent along with updates on our cat were wonderful!
Used Kate to care for our indoor rabbit while we were away. Free "Meet and Greet" was nice to get acquainted and go over care details. Kate followed all instructions and even sent me daily texts with checklists of everything she had done. She also sent pictures and video of our pet which the kids loved seeing while we were away. She was able to manage our alarm system, keys, lights, trash, plants - everything. She is a reliable pet sitter who does a great job. Happy to recommend her!
Kate is awesome! She is very professional, reliable, friendly and loving. I love that she sends you text updates on your fur baby. She is everything you want in a pet sitter. Oliver, my crazy wheaten terrier, highly recommends her!
When my husband and I moved to PA 2 years ago, we took turns going on separate vacations as we didn't have someone to watch our cats. We always had family care for them while we were away, but no longer had that option. We feel very lucky to have found Kate, and know our kitties are in good hands. Kate always stays in communication, and sends daily picture updates that we look forward to receiving. Leaving your pets behind for a week can be very stressful, but Kate helps take that stress away. We appreciate her so much, and will continue to use her services. We highly recommend her!
Kate was a wonderful find. She did an excellent job coming to our house even with a week of very bad weather. Prompt and on-time everyday and our dog Reecee loved her. We will use her service again! Thanks Kate.
Kate is such a caring, compassionate, professional, and experienced pet sitter! From the moment I met her I knew she’d be a great fit for my senior huskies. She went above and beyond while we were gone for a whole week. She took care of my home like it was hers, and I knew my dogs were loved because when I got back my huskies waited for her all day. Thank you Kate for everything! Would absolutely continue to do business with Happy Tails Pet Sitting Services! Cannot recommended enough.
Kate was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our two pets! She sent updates throughout the day as well as photos, and followed the instructions we left to a T. Kate certainly has a way with animals. Our cat who normally hides from strangers was out and about following her around by the end of the first visit! Would highly recommend Happy Tails Pet Sitting Services!
I could not be more pleased with Happy Tails! Kate was extremely reliable, attentive and professional, and delivered excellent service and care while I was away for a week. My husband and I typically board our dogs, but with a new puppy (4 mo) and an older dog (14 yo) I had concerns about their health and overall wellness. I’ve never used a pet sitter, so that brought its own concerns, but after meeting Kate I felt very comfortable and knew I was making the right choice for me and my dogs. I’m a *little* overbearing when it comes to my dogs, leaving lists that I thought were helpful but in hindsight probably were not, but Kate handled my anxiety with professionalism and understanding. She sent text messages with updates after each visit, which I really appreciated. I cannot say enough great things about my experience. I will only use Happy Tails in the future.
Kate was patient and compassionate with our quirky dog. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions and sent a daily picture. Our dog was so much less stressed when we returned home than she normally is when we would pick her up after boarding. Definitely will be using again! Thank so much.
Kate is an amazing dogsitter. She made our vacation so much better knowing we were leaving our baby girl in good hands. We lost two dogs in 6 weeks and two weeks later went on vacation leaving our little girl alone. She started acting up when Kate was caring for her. Kate was so compassionate and took care of everything. She even gave us great advise. We will definitely be calling Kate when we go on our next vacation.
Thank you to Tal’s Pets for your dog sitting services while we were on vacation. Murray is an old man but was well taken care of by Naya. Naya was awesome with keeping us informed with pictures and updates on how he was doing back home. Natalya always gives excellent customer service. I was having issues with my payment and she even took time out while she was on her honeymoon to assist. I will definitely be using Tal’s Pets services in the future and highly recommend them to others.
Our sitter Dawn-Marie was awesome! She took excellent care of our girls while we were away, sending pictures and providing updates daily which put our minds at ease as this was the first time we have needed to use a service such as Tal's. She even ran the vacuum a couple of times to keep up with the build up of dog hair, cleaned up the waste in the yard daily and treated our home as she would her own. Natalya was great too! She pleasantly answered all of our questions and concerns prior to booking. I highly recommend Tal's Pets. We will definitely use the service again when needed without hesitation. Keeping our girls in their own home, where they are comfortable and familiar with their surroundings was huge. We really did feel that our girls were very well taken care of while we were away.
This was our first experience with Tal's Pets. how great it was ! We had Skye as our caretaker and cannot compliment her enough. She wrote everything down, was very conscientious of everything we asked of her. Most of all , the kitties loved her. Lucy, normally very shy went right up to greet her. Skye kept me informed every evening with texts and pictures, insuring my vacation was worry free. I highly recommend Skye and Tal's Pets.
10/10 will always recommend Tal's Pets for pet sitting. We recently went away for 5 days and Skye, our sitter, was an absolute gem to take our of 14 year old dog in our home. She sent so many updates and pictures and we could tell our pup was so comfortable with her. Our dog had some belly issues while we were gone and she was prompt to contact us make sure he was okay and went above and beyond to clean up the mess and left our house pretty spotless after. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I used Tal's pets services for the first time two weeks ago. Could not be happier with my experience. Their services came highly recommended and they were as wonderful as I heard they were. Everything was so easy in setting up my visit and Natalya was super fast in her responses in making our arrangements. My sitter Naya was just the sweetest person ever and so good with our dog Mya. She engaged with her throughout the time we were away and sent us updates via texts with pics. Not enough kind words for Naya-she was awesome. If you are looking for peace of mind while you are away from your pets, highly recommend Tal's Pets.
How wonderful to have found Tal’s Pets!! From the well designed and informative website to the excellent communications , and the most amazing pet sitter Tara. At our meet and greet our kitties went right to her, from there we received daily pics, and the sweetest messages about our kitties. I big thank you to Tal for this amazing service and to Tara, for all the love and kindness you bestowed upon Sammy and Patchra.
Natalya (owner) has been amazing to work with from day 1! She was quick to get me information and all set up to go with loving staff members to come check in our puppy. Natalya’s communication is excellent. She has really worked with us to fit our needs and even helps when last minute needs/changes arise. The staff are loyal and I love the updates and photos that I get daily. I highly recommend Tal’s Pets. We are so lucky to have found them!
I highly recommend Tal's Pets. Natalya & the Pet Sitters are GREAT. I am very happy with the Dog Walk Service. It gives me comfort to know my Rosie is being cared for while I am at work. LOVE that I get pictures and a quick text EACH day. Natalya is very responsive with all communication and it is clear she is passionate about the animals and her business. THANK YOU TAL'S PETS.
We moved here from out of state in October of 2023, leaving behind a fabulous pet sitter. We never expected to find a pet-sitting business as responsive, reliable and caring as Natalya's pet-sitting service. Natalya, Amanda and Jamie have brought great peace of mind as we are confident our two dogs and two cats are in fabulous hands. I highly recommend Tal's Pets for your pet care needs!
Natalya and her crew are incredible. We searched for years for reliable, responsive pet care with no luck, so we were stuck relying on friends and family which was incredibly limiting for our schedules. We tried other local companies and those experiences rendered us hopeless that we’d ever find care that we trusted and felt comfortable with. From day one the experience with Tal’s was completely different- quick, clear communication and scheduling, caring, attentive and communicative sitters, incredibly fair pricing (I’d argue she could charge double for the value she provides), and complete piece of mind that our pets and home will be well taken care of and respected. We are so happy to have Tal’s, the service they provide is invaluable- look no further, hire them!
Amazing place. My dog has changed dramatically in the most positive way since coming here. The staff is amazing kind and so knowledgeable. I recommend anyone looking for doggy daycare to give them a shot. We are eternally grateful for this place! Picture was taken by the staff and my pup is the black one. Look at those smiles.
We just picked up our German Shepherd, Odin, after a week long stay at Hickory. This is his second time boarding (hasn’t been boarded since 2022) since he is a very anxious dog. We were so happy to hear that Odin enjoyed his time at Hickory, he ate, took his meds, played and got along well with the staff. We also received an update mid week from his trainer, Gordon, which we appreciated! We felt like Odin was very well taken care of and safe throughout his stay! Knowing how well he was looked after we are more than comfortable coming back for daycare and boarding! Thank you for keeping our anxious boy happy and healthy!!
From rags to riches! Just took our labradoodle here for the first time and couldn’t be more pleased with them! First off, the haircut is the best he’s ever had. When I dropped him off, the groomer asked me how we wanted him done up. Gave them a couple requests and they were all filled perfectly. The staff was incredibly kind and responsive. They even took him out to go to the bathroom on their beautiful property. When picking him up, the groomer had me take a good look at the haircut and make sure everything was good. She noted that if I had recommendations or concerns for the next visit, she would take a note in their documents to ensure our wants and needs were met. Lastly, the cost of the full grooming was much less than I was expecting, since we have been paying significantly more for years at other groomers. 10/10 Can not recommend them enough!
Been taking our dog for grooming to this place for years. The staff really enjoy being with the dogs and do a great job — flexible to whatever you need. Highly recommend based on our experience.
I Just heard from the manager regarding the charge for the anal glands. She indicated that I should not have been charged for that and will be crediting me $25 toward the error made. Very much appreciated they're quick response and action! I took my small dog, a Yorkie poo, here for grooming and asked to have her bathed, hair cut, nails trimmed and to have her anal glands checked. She is 7 years old I have never been charged extra to have her anal glands checked and expressed! I expected to pay $65 for her grooming, which is very common, but was shocked when he told me there was an extra $20 to check and express the anal glands! I don't get it since every other groomer she has ever been at does that automatically🤷🏼♀️ I will not be returning here.
I took my Dog Ave there in January to have nails clipped and they were awesome. Ave is rescue dog and gets scared easy they were great with her, Had her back for full spa day on 4/7 and she could not wait to get in there and gives kisses.. totally awesome and they give great advice to question and concerns.. Never will go anywhere else…
Brought my dog here for a nail clipping for the first time and it went great! My dog does NOT like getting her nails done. Has to be muzzled, and given a sedative before hand because she is just that bad. But at hickory springs they just had a brand new harness installed for these kind of situations and it made a big difference! She was still a little crazy, but you can see the amount of care they put in to make sure she was calm and still do a good job on her nails which I really appreciate. They were friendly, talkative and patient with her. It was reasonably priced and I feel comfortable bringing my dog here again. I HIGHLY recommend them for any grooming needs!
BEST DECISION EVER TO MOVE TO HICKORY SPRINGS FARM OVER 20 YEARS AGO. We were referred to transfer to Hickory Springs by friends and they were right! I absolutely love and trust Hickory Springs Pet Farm . . . they are truly our extended family to our dog, Puff Daddy. They are kind and handle him with care. The entire staff has been wonderful for many many years - I have never been disappointed. (our Beloved Puff Daddy passed away right after his 18th birthday). The Hickory Spring Farm Team prepared me for the inevitable - they treated us with sympathy and kindness. The Groomer, Amy EXCEPTIONAL she is wonderful and very talented and so friendly. Della has always be a treasure to my family in making sure we get the best opportunities and pricing whenever we boarded Puff Daddy - she looks out for his best interests and always calls me whenever there is an issue to alert me - even if I am on vacation. Now they are taking care of my daughter's dogs: Elmo & Vida The exact same treatment - AWESOME CARE! I love it!
We kenneled our pups for a week. They were well cared for. Employee Cat was wonderful and full of good info. Upon registering out pups Della was super helpful and very friendly. The place is clean and staff have a great vibe which puts one at ease when leaving their pets. All were very eager to hear everything about your pets. Love this place. We will be back!!!!
Our dog is always safe here. At home he is pretty reactive and he gets anxious outside, but we never have a problem dropping him off. I recommend this facility for boarding! We have also had his nails done here while he was boarded and were happy with the results.
Great company that’s always attentive to my dog Gracie. She gets so excited for the walkers to come up to the door and can be a bit MUTTch, but they always get her harness on. Highly recommended!
Our household loves using MUTTch Better Dog Walking & Per Services when we are away. Jennifer always takes good care of our Ollie and he is always happy when he gets his visits. We love the stop in visit updates we get. It puts us at ease knowing Ollie can be in his environment and have a trustworthy sitter come in. I have recommended your service to many friends and family when they ask what we do for Ollie. Thank you for caring for Ollie!
Highly recommend! Pam was perfect for Cody! She always took pics and gave update’s, was always on time. I knew my pup was safe with her. Thank you so much! Look forward to using her again!
We could not be happier. Our cats are usually afraid of new people, but they loved Pam. She sent photos and updates so that we had no worries. We would definitely use her again.
MUTTch Better Dog Walking & Pet Services is amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who just doesn't have that extra time to clean up after their pets. Such a GREAT company!
We love MUTTch Better dog walking and pet services! We have used them several times and have them scheduled for a future trip. It’s nice not having to worry about pet care amidst all the other stresses of traveling or life in general. MUTTch Better has been available to us even with last minute appointment requests. Highly recommend!
Such a wonderful option for our two Poodles. We had utilized kennels in the past and they are 1) expensive and 2) not very personal. Abby, our dog walker/sitter was great. She Provided individual attention and the cost was significantly less then other area kennels. Muttchbetter will be our go to in the future.
Mikey and Muttch Better Dog Walking were great to work with! Fair pricing, great communication, and took awesome care of my dog! Highly recommend!
The pet sitter that we had was awesome. We received photos and texts about our pets and any updates that we wanted. She was absolutely wonderful and took great care of our fur babies. We will definitely use MUTTch Better again to care for our fur babies.
This was our first time using MUTTch Better Dog Walking & Pet Service. LJ did great with stopping in and feeding our dogs and had a little play time. They were very accommodating with our last minute request. We will definitely be booking with them again.
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.
