Dog Sitters in Lima, PA

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!

Anna Marie, Michelle and Stephanie were great and my cats were very happy to see them every visit. Steph’s Pet sitting were able to accommodate my last minute request. They are highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience with Steph's Pet sitting! They took such great care of my cats during their visit, showing exceptional attention to detail and making sure both my cats needs were met. I could see that my pets were very well cared for and felt at ease with them. The communication was prompt and professional, and I truly appreciated the updates during the sitting. I highly recommend "Anna Marie" for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

We have really appreciated the exceptional care that Steph's Pet Sitting has provided our 2 pets - 1 elderly dog and 1 elderly cat. They both have special needs, and Steph and the sitters (Kerri, Naomi, Anna Marie) have been so accommodating. The service, website, and people have all been easy to work with and my pets have been well cared for. We are so thankful that we can go away for the day or a week and know that all is ok at home. We love the daily messages and pictures letting us know how everything went. Thank you.

Steph and her team are so kind, generous, and thoughtful. They truly go above and beyond taking care of our elderly kitty and sharing thorough updates to keep our minds at ease. There have been multiple occasions when unexpected things happened with our cat's health right before we left town and Steph's team was quick and nimble with adapting their plans to make additional efforts to take care of her. Especially with a senior pet it's been such a huge relief knowing she's in such good hands when we're away. Highest recommendation!

Steph's Pet Sitting is a wonderful business. We have a variety of "pets" who are our family members including kitty, Sam the frog, and Monique and Sandy our chickens. When we go away we book Steph's Pet Sitting to take the best care of our family who can't go with us. Steph vets the most caring and professional staff and has a fabulous business. Our kitty is also on a prescription medication which they are able to give her! After each visit from your pet sitter you will get an email update with pictures which eases your mind and lets you enjoy your trip stress free. We have used Steph's Pet Sitting for more than a week away from home and short trips. Fabulous service they provide! Thanks Steph, Amy, and Anna Marie who recently took care of our animal family!

Caring, prompt and reliable. Caregivers spent time with our pet who isn’t the most friendly and for her engaged over a long trip. We will continue to use Steph and her team in the future for all our trips.

I can't thank Steph and Kerri enough for my last minute dog sitting request so I could continue with a planned trip out of town. My dog was a previous dog walking client when I used to work in the office and it was great to have him taken care of by Kerri again. Steph and the software have thought of all the necessary questions for a pet to be looked after. I loved the per visit status and pet pictures - they gave me such peace of mind.

I was very nervous leaving our boys for 10 days. Our sitters Anna Marie and Naomi took great care while we were gone, sending daily updates and pics so I was reassured all was well at home. In addition to feeding and cleaning litter, they spent time playing with and entertaining them! The portal they use for updates is very easy to use. I would strongly recommend Steph’s Pet Sitting and will definitely be using the next time we go away.

We used Steph’s Pet Service for our 4 cats while we went away for a week. We were so happy with the service she provided. She provided a daily update and spent time getting to know the cats. We had total peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands. When we came home, the food and litter areas were impeccable, the Mail was stacked neatly on the island and most importantly, the cats were clean, healthy and happy. Highly, highly recommend!!!

We have been using Steph’s pet sitting services for 5 years (after prior service disagreed with the time we scheduled for dogs to be fed and another time forgot to feed them at all!) Our 2, 10 yr old golden doodles now very well cared for when we schedule with Steph who manages a great service: she personally meets with new customers and their pet(s) along with 1 or 2 of her employees to get oriented to our dogs and home and neighborhood. All visits followed promptly by pet photo and detailed report. Scheduling and billing easy online. Norman and Kitty Haase

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!

We have worked with Julie and her team for more than three years. They have been consistently excellent with our dog and very reliable in terms of pick up and drop off arrangements. It is clear that they have spoiled our dog every time we pick him up!

My older doodle has boarded w Julie’s families for several years w good success. Her families are carefully vetted. Also important to me is that Julie checks on the dog’s well being throughout the duration of the stay.

We have used Dog Boarding with Families (DBF) multiple times and at multiple local locations (eg Wayne) in the past 6 months. We have had a great experience from everything to pre-meeting our host families to logistics including drop off, pick up and payment. More importantly our dog has received great care and adjusted well with the families. We highly recommend their services!!

What a great experience ! We had to go out of town and I was so stressed out because our usual dog sitter was on vacation, I called Julie because I needed someone the next day , Julie was so helpful she found us someone right away, she paired our dog Millie with Judy who was also absolutely amazing , Millie stayed with with Judy for three nights. I would definitely recommend Julie and her team , thank you so much Julie

Julie and her team are not only professionals they are true animal lovers. Our sitter Alex went out his way to make our shy dog comfortable! Our house was kept clean and organized and our pets were calm and happy when we got home!!

Boarding with a family is a great place for your fur babies. Our puppy max loves to go there!

Julie has been helping me find a friendly, loving, comfortable home for my dog Rocky for the past six years. It makes taking a trip so easy. I never worry about Rocky when we are out of town. He is cared for just as he would be in his own home. He has stayed with a few different families over the past years and each one has been wonderful! Sharing lots of pictures and letting him snuggle next to them on the couch just like he enjoys doing with us at home. Julie knows what she is doing and offers a valuable service!

We are very happy with the family Julie placed us with. We continue to drop off our dog, Boomer, with them when we travel. We have gone on 3 trips and have already booked them for a trip in September. The family is very nice and takes great care of Boomer. We highly recommend Julie and her boarding business.

Wow! This experience for our family was amazing! Julie was thorough with matching my pup with such a fitting family. Process was easy with great communication. I received pictures of my pup living his best life. It was such an easy process with no stress. Definitely recommend!

The best boarding option for your dog. Our dog Boris has stayed multiple times and it’s a relief to be able to go away knowing he is in excellent hands. By staying in a loving home with outdoor space and sometimes other furry friends to hand out with we know he is having a wonderful time. He loves it so much it’s like a vacation for the dog! I highly recommend.

My dog Sadie goes here for regular baths and nail clipping. She is always happy to go so I know they treat her well. She comes out smelling and looking well groomed and wagging her tail! The staff is always friendly and genuinely care for your furry baby!

Our Dalmatian, Neuhaus loves his visits so much when he sees me packing up his food & toys the whimpering begins. He really enjoys the play time with his friends and we love the Pet Cam! It makes our vacation less stressful knowing he is having fun in a safe loving environment.

My Shih Poo George came back happy and tired from his first time boarding for two days and was very soft and fluffy from his exit bath. The staff was friendly and fantastic! I will become a regular customer going forward!

Staff was welcoming as soon as I walked into the door; pleasant, greeting, and top shelf hospitality. Tabby, our calico cat, was not stressed or scared as she entered the cat boarding area. Will definitely use again!

The staff at Best Friends were so nice and took such great care of my dog. They were very understanding when she got a little anxious of the new surroundings and new people. We will be going back to Best Friends!

Our pooch loves Best Friends like it's her second home. We've been boarding our dog here for about 3 years and the staff has always been phenomenal. Everyone is very friendly and it's a very welcoming environment. I admittedly get nervous when my dog and other dogs "meet," but she always does great at group play at Best Friends. I don't know what kind of magic they work but I get a little bit of a "training session" myself each time I chat with the staff at Best Friends when I pick her up. They're all great people and willing to provide helpful tips.

From my experience Best Friends always keeps our dog happy safe and well fed during his trips there. Anytime I have a concern or question or change in schedule they always try to accommodate. They love seeing Charlie’s face when he arrives and their new groomer has bonded with him which is not easy to do!!!

Over the past few years I boarded my dogs at Best Friends for weekend or week long stays. Having the opportunity to “check in” via video is a terrific addition to the boarding service. My dogs have always been happy when they realized they were going to spend time at Best Friends. Their reaction as we entered the doors made me feel they had a good time during previous visits. I highly recommend Best Friends!

Best Friends is our ultimate doggy destination! My German shepherd Moon is so excited to attend the day camp at Best Friends, he practically pulls me through the door. Moon has such a blast playing with his furry friends and the staff who clearly adore dogs, and always comes home happy and ready to conk out for a well-deserved nap. And thanks to the clean environment - NO doggy daycare funk!! We have also used Best Friends for longer stays, and Moon always comes back the same tired, happy pup. Knowing that he is having fun and being well cared for allows us to relax and enjoy our time away.

My two golden doodles were well taken care as first time boarders by very experienced staff that were highly responsive to the individual needs of my dogs. Planning, drop off, and pick up were well coordinated and timely. I will definitely be using Best Friends Pet Hotel in the future and highly recommend their services.

Our dog Molly loves this place. She goes three days a week and enjoys playing with the larger dog group there. She has A LOT of energy so it's great that she gets it out while we are at work. It appears that the staff actually enjoys working there and cares about dogs wellbeing. It's fun seeing our girl on social media having a blast. Molly also gets groomed there - it's not exactly cheap but that's because they do a phenomenal job. My only small gripe is *sometimes* the building and she smells like pee when I pick her up.

House of Dog is amazing! I bring my two dogs Miley and Presley there to get their energy out during the week. Everyone knows you and your dogs. It’s run like a regular daycare with lots of enrichment, play time, and they sometimes send them home with arts and crafts. It’s so much fun and my dogs love it! Highly recommend!

House of dog is great! We have been sending our 2 year old mixed rescue Shadow for about a year & 1/2 now to daycare & she loves it! She went through training classes there! She was board there for our wedding & they even transported her to the wedding to be in our ceremony! They do cute themed days! Now we will start sending our new puppy Rocky who is a 6 month old mixed rescue! He just went through his temperament test and seems to love it already! The staff is amazing & I can’t recommend them enough!

My puppy Dakota has been coming here for a few weeks and we have been super happy!! She is always excited to get out of the car and go inside and is always so tired when she gets home from playing! I also love how they post pictures/videos on Facebook all day you can really tell they love the doggies like their own! :)

There aren't enough good things I could say about House of Dog! My dog Romeo has been going there since we first got him (7months) and he LOVES going. I love how they post so many pictures and videos to ease the pup parents minds while they are at daycare/boarding. I have a 8 year old pit, Autumn, who can be a little fearful and was nervous she wouldn't be accepted, but they assured me they would make her stay as enjoyable as possible. Whenever I can recommend this facility, I do!

Hank has been going to HOD for almost a year and we absolutely love it! He attends daycare 3 days a week and has the best time. The staff is always friendly and super welcoming. As soon as we walk in the door, we are always greeted and Hank’s tail instantly starts wagging! I love all of the pictures they post on Facebook and I can always tell Hank is having the best time. If you’re looking for a place to board or send your dog to daycare HOD is the place to go! We love it so much!

This is the only place I would ever feel comfortable boarding my dogs. It’s a ver large, nice, clean building. They even have the cutest shuttle. Follow their Facebook for the cutest posts.

House of Dogs Retreat and Spa was the best move for Tootsie. She loves going there and playing with the other dogs and humans. The workers are friendly and pay great attention to the dogs.

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive in creating a welcoming atmosphere. They provide a safe and comfortable space for my fur baby. Riley loves going here and she will sleep until 2pm the next day. I can’t recommend House of Dog enough!

HOD is great for doggie day care, and boarding needs. We have been a customer for the last three years and have seen the business evolve. HOD has been effective every step of the way at always keeping up the high quality of their services. They have a great staff and well maintained facility. Their staff are great with communication and they have a client portal which is very user friendly. Highly recommend!

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.

We are so grateful to have found this business! Every Wednesday we send our dog, Finn, to doggy daycare. Finn usually hates car rides, but when Brooke or Leah come to the door we can hardly get him in his harness before he’s running out the door to hop in their cars! The dogs in their care are very well taken care of, get to run around the yard all day, and come home exhausted! We also LOVE that we get pictures and videos texted to us throughout the day! This place is amazing!! 100% would recommend to anyone with an active dog that needs to be exercised regularly, or even if you have an easygoing pup who may be an only child and needs some social interaction :)

Review for For the Love of Dogs (FTLOD) Generally: Great company. Easy to work with. Would recommend. Review for Heather C. Specifically: I have been withholding writing this review for fear that Heather would become too busy and not be available when I need her, but my senior dog (Zeus) has crossed the rainbow bridge, so it is time. Heather is one of the best dog walkers and people I have had the pleasure of getting to know these past two years. Going above and beyond just seems to be ingrained in who she is as a person. For the past roughly two years Heather walked Zeus 4-5 times a week, catering each walk to Zeus's needs. Toward the end, Zeus could not handle a 30 minute walk and really needed help eating. Heather happily started taking him on shorter walks and using the remaining time to hand feed Zeus his wet food while sitting on my floor because that's what worked best for Zeus. She always sent me detailed updates about how Zeus was doing, and you could tell Zeus really loved her (both through how she'd describe his behavior in her notes from walks and because when I had her come over while I was home, Zeus got excited to see her and went to the door for their usual routine). She definitely pours her heart and soul into this job, and I am forever grateful. She treated my dog like her own in every way, and I could not recommend her enough.

We loved the care and attention our dog Landon received from Robert! Robert sent pictures from each visit, wrote detailed recaps of their time togther and was very responsive. I already put a request in for our next trip! Thank you!

They are great! I was worried about leaving my two dogs for a week but they made me feel at ease and provided me with updates along the way. Definitely an improvement versus a kennel!

I had a fantastic experience using For the Love of Dogs when I recently went on vacation. First of all, Leah has a great system for getting you all set up to use their services. She was very responsive and the process was very simple. Then I had an introductory meeting with my pet caretaker, Debbie, to get her introduced to my five kitties and show her around my house. Debbie was awesome! She obviously loves animals and is committed to providing excellent care. I had no doubt my cats were in great hands. While I was away, I received daily text updates with pictures which really put my mind at ease! Next time I travel I will definitely be calling FTLOD and highly recommend them to anyone with a pet!

I can't say enough about Leah and her team at For the Love of Dogs. We have three dog children and moved to the area a year ago. We had several bad experiences before finding For the Love of Dogs. Karen is wonderful and house and dog sits regularly for us. The entire team makes you feel confident in their services and you can relax knowing your pets are in excellent hands! Highly recommend.

This company is hands down the best in Home dog sitting/ walking service there is in this area. The owner Leah was absolutely a pleasure to work with. Leah was incredibly professional and made everything easy with scheduling, payment, and understanding expectations. The dog sitter we had was Melissa and she was amazing! She communicated with us each time she arrived at the home, and sent us pictures. The dogs adored her. They honestly were so spoiled by the attention and love they received from Melissa, that after we got home they waited at the door for her to come back. Our dogs had just as much of a vacation as we did because of her. Lastly, the pricing that this company charges is more than fair. For the amount of walks, cuddles and time spent with someone in the comfort of your own home, what you pay is a steal. Please use this company if you are looking for in home pet sitting or walking. I love supporting local hard working businesses and if you are like me, then you will love using them as well.

Great service, great people to work with and our dogs were super happy with the love and attention they received. We have three dogs, two with disabilities (one is blind and one is deaf), and this was not at all an issue. Leah and her team set up a schedule and made sure our babies were well cared for. If you’re looking for a service that will come to your home and take good care of your fur babies, For the Love of Dogs is it. We will definitely call again for all of our pet sitting needs. Thanks again!

We used For the Love Of Dogs training for our 8 month old beagle puppy. He was very dominate and thought he was in charge in the house. We needed help fast. I was pregnant, and had fears of bringing an infant into the house with the way the dog behaved. He was unpredictable. Miranda was our trainer. She quickly took charge and showed us how to train and teach our dog Louie. Louie is now submissive and loving little guy. I am no longer afraid to bring a new born into our house. For the love of Dogs helped us in so many ways!!! They were professional and understanding. Which is exactly what we needed. I would recommend them to anyone having dog issues or a dog sitter.

The entire team at Leah's company is second to none. They have taken care of my now 2 year, 4 month old puppy since I got her when she was just less than 4 months old. For The Love of Dogs was recommended by a neighbor in my development. Whether it's three visits on Thanksgiving while I'm with friends downstate or during s peak work season when it's twice a day, their care, communication (texts/handwritten messages) and top of the heap dependability have always shined brightly. They are also very, very familiar with alarm systems' functions. For the Love of Dogs, I am so grateful that you care so well for my pet. Thank you a thousand times; you are appreciated. Ken

We love Howls and Meows! Colleen takes care of Harper like she’s one of her own. Harper starts to bark as soon as she’s pulling in the driveway and never has any hesitation when we leave. Colleen is responsive, sends us pics/videos and has a great Instagram account where we see can what’s happening with our pup while we’re away. Best thing is that Harper always has a friend at Howls and Meows like Squeegie and Biggie Paws :-)

We were initially looking for a place to bring our puppy for overnight boarding that didn't seem like 'doggie jail', and we have been so happy with Howls and Meows! Our crazy dog is definitely more comfortable in their home-like environment than she would be in a kennel. The pricing makes sense, and the business owner has consistently taken great care of our girl when we are out of town. Their flexibility for boarding, overnight in-home sitting, and ability to care for our cats when needed makes it an easy choice!

I have two cats Laverne and Shirley. Colleen is absolutely fantastic! She is always available and very professional. Whenever she is pet sitting she always texts me videos and pictures. She also lets me know how my girls are doing. My one cat Vern is very shy and hides when anyone comes over. Colleen was able to build a relationship with Vern so that she is comfortable. My girls love her! I highly recommend using Colleen and her company for your pet sitting needs!

Howls and Meows and Colleen always take great care of our dog Nelson. There are always other dogs to play with and plenty of space to run around. Highly recommend!

Colleen is wonderful with our dog, Bruce! He’s a 2 year old lab mix who is full of energy and needs plenty of play time. He gets so excited the minute we pull up to her house- he loves going there! Best of all, Colleen has been such a help as we recently found out Bruce has epilepsy. She was right there with us sending suggestions and advice from her years of experience with similar dogs. She’s one of the few people we feel comfortable caring for him when we are away. I know she monitors his medicine schedule and makes sure he’s comfortable in a large crate in case he has a seizure at night. She really goes above and beyond for her clients. You can tell she cares for the animals as if they were her own pets!

Colleen and her business has been such an absolute blessing to our family since we brought our puppy home two months ago. As my father in law says, "She's like the Mary Poppins of dog walkers!" Colleen radiates positivity and kindness and I think she adores our puppy just as much as he loves her. Not only is Colleen always dependable she reliable, she has wonderful communication in updates for our puppy, goes above and beyond by setting up puppy playdates, and has even helped out with little things around the house while she's over (bringing up trashcans, cleaning up after the cat--- she's simply amazing). A couple weeks ago we had a family medical emergency. Colleen was so compassionate and incredible. She came back after her normal hours, packed up our puppy and his things, and boarded him at her place for a few days while we dealt with our emergency. Never did she ask for specifics on when I would be picking up our dog, or bog us and down with questions and demands. We just felt understanding and care from her, and it was such a relief knowing our puppy was in the best hands and we didn't need to worry about a thing. She even sent cute little photo updates on our puppy that were a silver lining in a otherwise very bad time for us! We are so beyond happy with Howls & Meows and can't recommend them enough. Give it a shot and see just how quickly Colleen becomes more than just a dog walker, but a part of your family!

We found Colleen through a Google search, gave her a call, and based on her knowledge, experience, and confidence, we decided to try it out. We went and met with her, saw her home and yard, and were reassured this would be much better than leaving our puppy at a kennel. We were right. She's great, a pack leader so our dog is always safe, and just a nice person. Her rates are reasonable and our dog always comes home happy and tired.

Colleen has gone above and beyond taking care of our Frenchie while we were away. She truly treats these dogs as if they were her own. This was our first time leaving our pup and she checked in everyday, communicated about necessary things, and just gave our dog so much love. Can’t recommend her enough!!

We love the service Colleen provides through Howls and Meows Pet Sitting for our dog, whom she walks every day. Colleen is professional, communicative, super reliable, flexible, honest, and LOVES pets, especially our dog. We work and our dog is often home alone during the day. It's a huge relief to know that our dog will get some TLC during the day. I love that Colleen sends a note after every visit. Hire her! You'll wonder why you ever dealt with other dog walkers or pet sitters.

Colleen is great. She's really in tune with reading dog body language and genuinely loves dogs. She will set up a meet and greet with your dog and hers to make sure everyone will get along. I ended up really appreciating this part, as it made me feel a lot better about leaving my 10 month old puppy for a week. My puppy was actually excited to be dropped off afterwards, because she was excited to play with her new friend Squeegee. She was really responsive and the rates were reasonable. I would definitely take my dog here 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!
