It was a complete joy sitting for Chloe and Connie’s pets! They are so sweet and I miss their happy faces and cute personalities. The dogs, Angus and Emma, are easy to walk and very much enjoy the beach and off-leash areas of the park. They are well behaved and come when called. Mr. Kits, the cat, was loving and affectionate and slept with me at night. Chloe and Connie had a very detailed guide printed out with answers to all my questions and were always available for a quick text. Their home is fun and eclectic. I enjoyed seeing their art and collections which gave much personality to their home.The location was perfect for exploring San Francisco, especially with the Muni tram a block away. I hope I will get the opportunity to sit for them again in the future.
We've probably enjoyed Khan more than any other dog we've cared for so far. He was such a gentle giant and a real hit with our boys (one of whom was much smaller than this beautiful German Shepherd). The choice of parks nearby was pretty good so we had a chance to drive him to a few lovely places and explore. Even off-lead he was extremely well-behaved, even with other dogs and children around. He's obviously been really well trained. The house is in a great location in Hampton Hill, a little far away from the tubes if you want easy and fast access into London, but the area itself has a lot to offer so we never actually went into London: for example Hampton Court Palace and boating on the Thames are opportunities right on your doorstep. We also really enjoyed Wisley Gardens about a 35 minute drive away. The house is lovely and comfortable. All-in-all it was a super house- and pet-sitting experience for our family. Thanks Nigel and Khan!
I had the most delightful time looking after Cleo and Rocky in Yarraville! Cleo is an adorable, friendly and calm ragdoll cat with the most amazing blue eyes. She enjoys roaming the house, playing with her toys and cuddles. I will certainly miss co-sleeping with her! Rocky is an entertaining, affectionate and intelligent toy poodle. He loved following me around, guarding his reindeer toy, and cuddles. He draws lots of attention on our walks due to his friendly and playful disposition. The home is a luxurious Victorian property with creative touches at every glance. The home is a short stroll to the main shopping strip with boutique shops, cafes and Arthouse cinema. Matt is super lovely and professional. Communication was effortless. I can happily and confidently give this sit 5 stars!
Allison is a sweet awesome person wIth a charming apartment. She has two fantastic pets, Gemma and Evie. Both are super sweet, Loving and have wonderful personalities, and both pets are well behaved. My husband and I had a great time caring for them these past 9 days. We would recommend and/or pet sit again.
Herman & Harlie are the absolute sweetest little pals. We miss them terribly already. This was our first time house sitting through this platform and Mark and Jen were absolutely incredible. Such a gorgeous couple, super relaxed and just great, loving pet parents. We feel so lucky to have been able to hang with these pups and take care of their beautiful home.
What a wonderful family of furry friends. The pets and home was just as described and Tiffany was a pleasure during the entire process. The way that each pet had there own personality, being sweet and super easy to care for, made this an unforgettable time for me. I do tend to get attached. The beach being so close and even Starbucks for your morning walk. Myrtle Beach is very nostalgic as my grandparents retired there, so lots of youthful memories. I would not hesitate to sit for Tiffany and her family again.

I was very lucky to find Jared at DevilDog. Finding a pet sitter for our puppy was very difficult, but I immediately trusted Jared. He is very experienced, knowledgeable, and confident which made me feel great leaving my pup. During the stay Jared is communicative and I love the pics that get sent over. Jared at DevilDog is perfect for anyone knowing their pup is in safe hands.
Highly recommend Jared and his wonderful family for your petsitting needs! Our dog Huckleberry is VERY anxious when left alone (will refuse to eat or drink and has frequent accidents, among other things!) so we knew we’d need a special sitter to care for him in our absence. Jared has been the perfect fit! There’s always someone home with Huck, which brought us a lot of comfort - and he loves our dog as much as we do! He’s flexible, reliable and sends frequent updates and pics to let us know Huck is doing well! I will let the photos speak for themselves! :) We try not to let our feelings get hurt when Huck recognizes that we’re on our way to Jared’s and loses his mind with excitement - haha!
Jared takes care of my best friend Milo 2 times a week. He communicates very well and sends me photos of my fur baby. Jared treats Milo like his own and I am very happy with the service and will continue to use him.
Jared is such a wonderful dog sitter. I have had him stay overnight with my pup Bolt on several occasions. He and Bolt have a great time together which allows me to enjoy my time away without worrying about Bolt. He sends pictures and updates me. And my house is clean when i come home! Jared also walks Bolt for me when needed. I would highly recommend him.
I highly recommend DevilDog Pet Care! We boarded our dog, Cona, and he was well taken care of and treated like family. Jared is a knowledgeable and responsible dog sitter. He communicates well and sends pics to keep you updated. It is so comforting to know our Cona is in good hands while we are away and we will definitely use DevilDog Pet Care in the future.
We had Jared watch our two dogs for a whole week and he was amazing. He took the time to meet with us and the dogs first to make sure it was a good fit for all. He sent us pictures and updates everyday and was in constant communication throughout the whole process. The dogs came home happy after getting 24/7 care and plenty of outside playtime. We could not have asked for a better sitter and are looking forward to being able to work with him again!
To say Devil Dog Pet Care is the BEST is an understatement. We have 2 dogs, 1 of which is special needs and requires much more care and attention. Jared is so seasoned with such tasks and beyond accommodating to those unique needs. He is trustworthy and reliable, and no detail is overlooked. We are blessed to have him, and the dogs LOVE him (wiggle butts and smiles every time).
Jared is a trustworthy and caring dog watcher and I have trusted him with my home and pets several times now. He’s professional and courteous. He always sends a ton of pictures which makes me feel comforted that everything is well at home.
Jared is a great pet sitter! He’s very responsible with my medically fragile dog, and both of my dogs love him. They always get so excited when we turn down his street! I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for excellent pet care.
I have used a lot of dog walkers over the years. I currently have two dogs, a rescue lunatic rat terrier, who hates the world, and a rescue mixed breed puppy who would love to rip your arm out of the socket on his walks. Jared was found and vetted by my boss, who recommended him. He is fabulous with my dogs. The terrier runs to him, instead of under a bed. The puppy gets his exercise without me feeling like I need shoulder surgery. Jared is always there when I need him, even for emergency walks. He is prompt, courteous, has his own supplies, and always send me photos of my boys during the walk. I know that when they are with Jared, they are safe and supervised. When I go away later this month, the puppy will be with Jared overnight, And I’ll be able to relax, knowing that he’s being taken care of by the best.
We had a wonderful experience with Country Haven Kennels! Exceptional communication and updates from Sierra. Our dogs stayed for 6 nights and they were cared for as if they were at home. We will definitely return to Country Haven in the future.
This was my first time kenneling my dog and I was nervous. I explained my pup's quirks and my concerns, and the owner was kind and patient. She gave me updates to assure me, he was doing well, and because of that I was able to better enjoy my time out of town. I was so pleased, I've already booked another stay! Their pricing is reasonable and my pup was happy after his weekend so I am thabkful I found them!
We have been going here for several years. Great people who care about our 4 legged family members.
Country Haven Kennels takes such great care of our boy Maverick when he is with them! Would recommend to anyone looking for a loving environment to board their pet!!
Love the folks here as they take wonderful care of our 4 pups when we go away! I highly recommend.
Smithville Country Haven Kennels provides exceptional care for my dog, Tony, every time we visit. Sierrah, the owner, goes above and beyond to ensure Tony feels comfortable and loved during his stay. The facility is clean, spacious, and Tony always comes back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Smithville Country Haven Kennels for anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry family members.
Absolutely love this place. I had two dogs who needed boarding for 4 days. They were very helpful when I asked a million questions. My dogs were able to share a kennel and they loved it. They sent me updates and photos!
Great place for the dogs to play and stay! Our two Olde English Bulldogs had a great time with a lot of outdoor play!
Country Haven Kennels is the best! The owner Casey and her husband Rob take care of my babies while we are away. The facility is clean and well maintained. The staff is knowledgeable and very efficient. They also have a beautiful dog park with an agility course set up. Casey's son Robbie is also amazing! Robbie has helped in making my dogs become little people friendly! I can not thank them enough for all the care they give while we are away. If you are looking for a kennel where your dogs will be safe and happy while your gone this is definitely the place for you!
This post/review is long overdue. Last September our lives changed when we first spoke with Casey about the possibility of owning a standard poodle puppy. Casey answered our first email immediately and we scheduled a time to speak by phone and learn more about the breed, the recent litter, and whether there may be a puppy that would be a good fit for our lives. Little did we know how fortunate we were to be working with such an intelligent, caring, responsible, and passionate breeder. We have owned dogs in the past but never realized how important a breeder’s philosophy, experience, and practice are to the overall health and temperament of the dog. The quality-of-care Casey provides to her puppies (as well as all her dogs) including quality food, accommodations, exercise, socialization, and professional veterinary care have made all the difference in the exceptional dogs she owns and breeds. We are the proud owners of Bowie, a Phantom Standard Poodle, and now an integral part of Casey’s extended family. We continue to stay in regular contact and communication with Casey – whether it is for training, boarding, or just a quick question via text – she is always there for us and Bowie. We look forward to years of fun with our dog, Bowie, and our continued friendship with Casey.
Cody at PT’s Pet Sitting is AMAZING. I was so nervous leaving my 3 babies for two weeks. I found PT through Google reviews and gave them a call. I met with Cody and knew immediately my kitties were in good hands. Cody took EXCELLENT care of my babies. They received tons of love and attention. I even received photos of them when I was away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and TRUSTED!! I will 💯 use Cody next time I travel. He’s the BEST!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s
We’ve moved a fair bit up and down the east coast. We always worried about finding reliable, caring, and compassionate pet care. PT’s came highly recommended shortly after we moved to Voorhees, NJ - we never looked back. Kevin and Tracy are kind, caring, compassionate people that have a deep love for animals. Kevin has done countless dog walks and drop-in visits when we were out of town. Oksana (8yr old lab mix) in particular can be a bit wary of new people and he won her over quickly. Maeve (5 yr old hound mix) quickly learned their walk schedule and eagerly would check the windows for his arrival - with Oksana joining in too! As soon as his car would pull into the driveway she would start with her excited hound noises. Unfortunately we lost Oksana quickly after an unexpected illness in July 2024. As part of her remembrance I went through to find videos important to us. Among those was the last time Kevin got to say hi to her - despite her being sick it’s clear how much she adored him and how excited she was to see him. We view PT’s as part of our extended family - it’s not easy to trust others to care for your fur babies as you would. PT’s however has a heart of gold. Thank you Kevin for all the wonderful memories and love you’ve given to our family ❤️ p.s. added photos including of latest additions - Sasha (5mo ACD mix) & Lisbon + Venice (4mo tabby kittens)
I can’t thank PT’s Pet Sitting Service enough for their exceptional dog-walking service, and especially Kevin for taking such amazing care of my dogs, Zoose and Zoey! What I love about PT’s Pets is that you always get the same dog-walker with every visit which makes me and my dogs feel very safe and comfortable. Kevin is kind, incredibly reliable, always on time, and treats my dogs as if they were his own. Zoose and Zoey absolutely adore him and always look forward to their walks every week. He is so flexible when my schedule changes and even ready to come out twice in a day if needed to feed and walk Zoose and Zoey. The love, attention, care, and exercise they get have made such a positive difference in their happiness and well-being. Kevin truly treats them like family members and even gave them a stuffed animal gift during the holidays that they love to play fetch with! Some dog walkers spend more time on their phone, taking pictures of the dogs instead of watching, caring and walking them. This worries me because of the close proximity to the animal shelter and the larger dogs that are walked by Volunteers. My dogs love to bark at them and especially Zoey who just wants to run towards them and interact. But not Kevin-he is so attentive and never leaves the dogs out of his sight. I love this about PT’s Pets - Kevin leaves a physical note afterwards on the counter letting me know how Zoose and Zoey did during their walk which gives me peace of mind. I always know they’re in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional service, I highly recommend PTs Pets! Liz
This pet sitting service is the best. Especially our dog walker Kevin. Our white pug Fanny absolutely loves him and waits at the door for his arrival. PT service is reliable. Affordable. Knowledgeable. Kind and affectionate to our pets. They are also very honest and trustworthy.
PT's Pet Sitting Service is, by far, the best pet sitters we have used! Tracy is very accommodating and Kevin takes great care of our dogs and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur babies. Kevin spends time walking them (even though we have a Fence and has told him he could just let them out back), feeding them and making sure they are doing okay. We usually book with plenty of notice but if an emergency comes up, I call tracy or Kevin and they help us out! Jack also helps with our dogs and has been a great dog sitter giving our dogs all the love they need. He also sends us amazing photos of our dogs.
Kevin has taken care of of my two dogs since they were pups! He currently comes everyday while I’m at work to let them out. If you could see how excited they are to see him- tails wagging! Going over to him for some petting! My girls both love him so much! And I trust him! He does extra things like brings in the garbage cans. Such a wonderful person!
Kevin has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs. He’s reliable and always able to help with last minute needs. I have one dog who is really nervous and he worked with her to gain her trust. I would definitely recommend PT Pets to anyone who needs some help with their dogs.
PT’s Pets have been in our family for the past 15 years and have taken excellent care of our dog, Birch, every week - since he was a pup. Birch loves them and with good reason, so do we. PT’s Pets - Kevin, Tracy and team are wonderful human beings who provide outstanding, reliable, and competent care. They don't just show up - they provide an invaluable, professional service and always exceed expectations. We know our dog is shown love and well cared for when we are away and they keep an eye the house, too. PT’s Pets is simply the best pet sitting service around. If we could give more than 5 stars...⭐️❤️🐾🐕
PT’s, and even more specifically dog walker Kevin has provided my pup with such high quality and compassionate care!! We are so thankful for all the love and care he has provided!! We hope to see you again, and will be keeping you in my prayers!!
PT Pet Sitting came highly recommended to me by my sister, who had used their services for a couple years with wonderful results. I’ve been using their services for about two years, and I can’t say enough good things. They are highly reliable, extremely caring, kind, responsive, honest, professional and flexible. My two Airedales enjoy their own home when I’m away, and I have peace knowing they are well cared for and relaxed. They even work with me to have an emergency plan in place. It’s been a blessing finding PT Pet Sitting. I highly recommend them.
Michelle is easy to work with and very flexible with her scheduling. She treats my two lap dogs with kindness and love. When she finishes walking or dog sitting Chloe and Coco, Michelle will update me on how their time together went. When I tell my babies that Michelle is coming today, they get excited and always wag their tails. Michelle handles my babies like they are her own, and I truly appreciate that! She is trustworthy and will ease any of your worries regarding pet care! She is a blessing to my family!!! Without hesitation, I recommend Michelle to assist you in your pet care needs.
If your looking for a loving, caring pet sitter Michele is the one you should definitely go with. Michele has been taking wonderful care for our dogs. Our first dog was Lady who was diabetic and required shots, which Michele was excellent at and Lady loved and trusted her. Years later we now have an another rescue her name is “Bailie” and she absolutely loves being with Michele. I just can’t say enough about how trustworthy honest & caring a person she is. Thank you Franny
Michelle has done a fantastic job for us. Super reliable, great with our fussy cat, sends us pictures while we are away. We wouldn’t use anyone else. I have someone real close to our house that hires teenagers to do the work for her. I don’t want strangers in my house. Michelle does her own work and I really trust her.
Michelle is the best. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She treats my dog Phoebe as if she were her own. She always follows up with a text and sometimes a photo saying all is good 🩷🐶🐾 I highly recommend Tailwaggers! …
I’ve been using Michele for almost 10 years now. 6 years with my first dog, and now with my 2 new dogs. She’s reliable, totally trustworthy, and my dogs love her! I know for a fact that she really engages and plays with the dogs when she comes to your home. And she’s so willing to work around my changing work schedule with no problems. I highly recommend!
This was my first time using Michele for my cat, Flynn. She was good with him during my vacation. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Flynn each day she was with him. She followed my Instructions and left my home in good shape. I'll use Michele again for future trips.
Michele was great! We needed a pet-sitter for about 5 days to take care of our troubled child-a black, feral cat with anger issues. She braved morning and evening rush hour traffic in order to give him 1/2 hour feedings twice a day, change his litter, and attempt to play with him. Unfortunately, he was often hiding when she'd come. He, also, attempted to bite her a couple of times, and growled quite a bit, but by the third day, her warm ways began to coax him out into the light. She sent us photos, so that we could see his progress. When we arrived back home, the house was in great shape with no destruction, and Batman was just as we left him, and maybe, a little less troubled. If you're looking for an exemplary pet-sitter, Michele at Tailwagger's Pet Sitting Services is the best, and she's beyond trustworthy. We'll definitely be using her again,, if she'll have us. P.S. Tom's wife wrote this.
We love Michele and Tailwaggers! Michele is amazing with our crew and whenever we travel we know our dogs and cats will be well taken care of and relaxed and happy upon our return! We use her whenever we travel and highly recommend! If you value peace of mind knowing that your furry family members are in good hands you’ll want to go with Michele and Tailwaggers!!
Michele is an Angel!! We were so nervous to leave our 3 Pomeranian for two weeks but Michele took such great care of them. She notified us every time she went to visit them and when we got home they were clean, healthy and happy! Usually my Lacie (the smallest white Pom) has a rough time when we’re away and doesn’t eat but Michele worked her magic and Lacie had no problem. We plan to use her services every time we need to leave town. Thank you Michele!!
Michele is so great with my bunnies, she is extremely loving, caring and always so cautious. She takes the very best care of my babies always! She gives me peace of mind anytime that I need to go away, because I know they are in the very best of hands! She is a true blessing and is highly recommended to be trusted with anyone’s pets!
firstly, I adopted my new puppy (mamba) during the pandemic. This was huge decision for me as a veteran/army reserve soldier who needed the emotional support and love. However, soon after my adoption I was called to duty with the military for 30 days. so if you could imagine how I was feeling as a first time doggy dad and how apprehensive I was with leaving my mamba at any doggy day care. to my surprise, I was completely put at ease when I met Lauren and everyone at Leia's day care. Not only were they very responsive they treated my puppy with so much love and care. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them to any and everyone and to all my fellow military battle buddies this place is military friendly. :)
Laura has been watching our Chloe for several months now and we are very happy to have found her. Chloe loves visiting Laura’s Day Care and Laura loves all of her doggies! It is great to know Chloe is in such good care! Thank you Laura and family! Dennis Gallagher
My dog loves going to Leia’s loving doggie daycare she never wants to leave it’s like her second family. She just loves playing with the other dogs. I never have to worry about my dog when she is there I know she is in good safe loving loving hands
Thank you 😊 …
Thank you we love Charlotte 💕🐾 …
Silo Pet Service has been a great. They are warm, friendly, and professional. We utilize them for dog walking and have been great. Our boxer loves them. Communications are always flowing and we have nothing but great things to say about Gabriella and her team.
Had a great experience with Sileo Pet Services. Gabrielle offered a meet and greet appointment to introduce the team and get to know my dogs, surroundings and details. She sent a very clear and professional contract, all communications are timely and provide a sense of partnering with a well run business. The sitter came on time, walked and spend time with dogs and communicated with me along the way. Highly recommend Sileo Pet Services, I’ll be sure to call them again whenever in need.
Where do I start? Back in May I needed to go to a wedding and I had to leave my sweet pittie bull Demi in the care of someone who would take care of her. But it was difficult because my sweet babe was battling cancer and then she was somewhat ok. She met the team of all the people at Sileo and of course Demi warmed there heart. Demi was cared for by a few people but the two people Karen and Gabby took a love for Demi. Karen especially fell in love with my girl. They followed exactly what she needed to a tee and communicate with me. Over the course of May till November they watch Demi in and out but the most touching was when my husband and I had to rush Demi to the hospital Karen came to support us and when we had to make the decision to let her go Karen was with us and cried right along with us. Demi touched a lot of people lives and Gabby well she is the owner. Extremely loving and caring for your pet and the families. After my girl passed they checked on me and gave me a small little gift of care. The bottom line is they love your animals as if they are your own. I will be forever grateful for this team. You need to hire them because you can trust them completely with your pets. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Mike and Cyd Dunlap❤️Demi thank you from Rainbow Bridge🌈
Sileo took care of my babies. This relieved my mind while on vacation. Much appreciated the personal service that Gabrielle provided. Especially playing with my Gryesha. Maybe one day Shiay will come out of hiding for you. I highly recommend Sileo Pet Services
Gabby and her team took great care of our kitty, Cookie. They listened and followed through with all visits and cared enough to personalize the visits with special play time and treats that Cookie was used to. They even sent me updates on how she was doing. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Sileo Pet Services!
I would highly recommend this pet service. They took great care of our two cats and puppy.
Had a great 1st experience with Sileo Pet Services. Gabrielle and Jess took wonderful care of our anxious dog while we were away. Professional, followed instructions, and excellent at communicating/sending pics throughout the day. 100% will use them again!
I am very impressed with Sileo Pet Service.They are very good with our dogs, patient, caring and on time. Thank you very much.
The entire Sileo team is incredible!! They conducted drop in visits for our animals during a recent vacation. We have two dogs and a cat (both dogs requiring medication and one being old and ornery), and we are SO thankful we found Gabrielle & her team! We got regular updates and photos from each visit, and our animals seemed so happy to get love an attention from everyone! Even our old, cranky shih tzu loved them! If you’re looking for pet sitters that truly love your pets and give them the love & attention they deserve, then I highly recommend Sileo pet services!!
Gabrielle and her staff are absolutely fantastic! Super professional, & reliable. Rest assured your pup will be in good hands!!!
Carmelina looks after my cats like they were her own. I actually think my friendlier cat might like her better than me, lol! And if you prefer daily updates, On the Ball is for you. She texts a daily update to let you know how the visit went - and it is much appreciated!
We are so happy with the pet boarding services Carmelina provides for our dog Daisy! We recently moved to the area and were looking for someone we could trust to watch over Daisy while we are out of town. Carmelina goes above and beyond in making things easy and comfortable for both us and our dog by coordinating pickup/drop-off, having a BEAUTIFUL backyard for the dogs to run around in, and providing daily updates and pictures (if not more 😁). 10 out of 10, would highly recommend!!
Carmelina is an up most professional care taker. She took care of our golden retriever and our girl was happy and comfy at home. Our family will use (on the ball) again.
Carmelina of On The Ball Pet Care has stayed with our dog, Reggie, twice while we were out of town. Reggie, a shih tzu-beagle mix, has severe heart disease and is on four medications, so he needs dependable, skilled care. And dependable, skilled care is just what Carmelina provides. She sends us frequent updates with photos of our little guy, and gives him lots of TLC, which relieves the stress of being away from him. We know that Reggie is in good hands with On The Ball Pet Care!
Best pet sitter I’ve ever had! Super professional and trustworthy. Carmelina has done an excellent job for the past two years looking after our two cats while we are away on vacations. She takes meticulous notes during her initial visit to make sure she is informed about all the important house and pet info, including backup house entry and what to do in emergencies. Always leaves the litter spotless and sends along lots of pictures! Great service at an affordable price. Would recommend to anyone.
Mel is a Godsend! While recovering from hip surgery I was able to enjoy having my dog because I was confident of her coming every day (twice!!) until I could. She is also concerned about how my pup likes to walk /his safety /and any particulars / you can talk about it all and she listens and communicates! Now that I’m recovered I am keeping her in my dogs life and feel free to pursue more outside activities because I have found someone I can trust and rely on!
I highly recommend Carmelina for overnight pet sitting! From the initial meet and greet to a two night stay in our home, Carmelina went above and beyond to make us and our pets comfortable, and to ensure that our pet’s routines were not disrupted in the least bit. I appreciated that Carmelina stayed with our pets all day in addition to overnight. We returned to happy and content pets and couldn’t be happier with Carmelina’s services.
Our little Remy absolutely ADORES Carmelina! We were so lucky to have found such a caring, and loving person to watch our Frenchie! Carmelina is punctual, reliable and has every little detail covered! We wouldn’t trust anyone else our girl. The pick up and drop off is an added bonus! Highly recommend Carmelina for all your pet needs! 🩵 …
Carmelina provides exceptional level of services to her pet clients. She focuses on the thorough assessment of client’s and pet’s needs (health, food, activities, safety) and provides recommendations on how best to prepare pets for daycare or overnight stays to ensure they are at ease and have fun. She is very responsible, reliable, trustworthy and have pets’ best interests at heart. Her place is tranquil and beautiful with lost of grass outside for pets to run and roll around and other things to sniff and explore. I know I can trust her with my pets and they will have excellent time and care. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Carmelina for pet sitting. I would not trust anyone else with my dog. She is prompt, caring and excellent with all breeds. It’s like Gladys home away from home.
Amy and Stephen have been walking my dog for over a year and I have nothing but great things to say. They respond to requests really fast, do their best to accommodate us on emergency/last minute walks and I always feel safe having them in my home. The app they use to communicate with clients is super cool, too- I love the daily report card and photos. I’m so appreciative of Bow Waus and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and kind pet care.
we love bow waus so much! we'd never had a dog walker before this, and i was incredibly anxious at the thought of someone else walking my dog, but the meet and greet process really helped ease my nerves. chris was maggie's walker, and he always wrote the sweetest messages and sent over some great pictures. the rest of the team is so kind and thoughtful as well! we come home from work to a very happy maggie. highly recommended :)
Bow Waus is absolutely the best! I wouldn't trust anyone else with my girl Luna! They are always on time and reliable and Luna always is so excited to see them. They always take the best photos and send a little blurb diary of their visit. Scheduling is very easy even last minute. Cannot recommend them enough!
Bow Waus is fantastic! They take amazing care of my pup—always reliable and super friendly. My dog comes back happy and well-exercised every time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy service, these guys are the best!
Such an awesome experience with Bow Waus! They cared for our 4 kitties while we were away for 9 days and I’ve never had such piece of mind while traveling. We got daily photos and updates, Amy played with the kitties daily, the litter boxes were clean and all at a reasonable price! Also their app for scheduling is so easy and convenient. Highly recommend!!
Always great, our pups love their “secret friend” that comes to play with them when we’re gone. Very flexible with our last minute additions due to our crazy schedules and the nature of our jobs.
My husband and I have been using Bow Waus dog walking services for a few years now and I honestly could not recommend a better company for your pets! Every walker that we have goes above and beyond for our pups and I totally trust each of them with any extra needs they might have (one of our pups had surgery & needed medications & had mobility precautions). The team is incredibly kind and has been very flexible with our walking requests. Highly recommend anyone in the Fishtown area to use them!
We LOVE the Bow Waus team! Have been using them for about 6 months now and the team is consistently reliable, communicative, and our lilo loves hanging with Stephen! The self-serve scheduling system is also helpful and easy to use.
Amy and Steven at Bowwaus are truly exceptional! As the owners, they are both incredibly reliable, friendly, and trustworthy. My rescue dog, Chauncey, is usually very standoffish, but I was so relieved to see them break through his barriers and gain his trust. Not only do they provide excellent dog walking services, but they also write the most humorous anecdotes about each walk, which always brings a smile to my face. If you want your dogs to be in great hands and have a fun time, hire BowWaus. Your dogs will love you more for it!
I cannot say enough good things about this company. This is my first experience with dog walkers, they are extremely professional, knowledgable and I know when they have my puppy that she is in the best possible hands. I was legitimately surprised at the level of service. Would highly recommend to anyone (but especially to those with miniature poodle puppy's that are a tad curmudgeon). Above and beyond service, advice and professionalism. thank you!
To say Theo loves camp bow wow is an understatement! The excitement he gets when we even go near that area makes us laugh, but also really happy. Knowing that he likes going there makes it easier to do him off. But as much as he loves it so do we!! Heidi and her staff go above and beyond and treat each dog like they’re their own. I will never take my dog anywhere else and I tell anyone who ask that this is the place to go! Take your dog here and trust me they’ll love you forever!
Our dog Ace loves coming to Camp Bow Wow. Whether it’s for day camp or overnight boarding I know he is in good hands. The camp counselors are the nicest and most kind people, they make drop off and pick ups as smooth as possible. They go above and beyond when it comes to 1on1 time, holiday treats, etc and I would recommend them to anyone looking for top notch dog care.
Abby and I love Camp Bow Wow…. For the last 9 years, Abby has enjoyed her weekly fun session with her friends-both furry and human. And I have the assurance that she is well-cared for.
The staff is amazing and genuinely care about the pets. We absolutely love Camp Bow Wow and are so appreciative of the amazing care the staff consistently shows to Cooper. Highly recommend!
Camp Bow Wow is clean and well-staffed! The hours are flexible to accommodate busy schedules. Love being able to watch my dogs!
We dropped off our boy Ace for his interview and we were blow away by camp bow wow! The consulars are so nice and educated and the facility is great. After our pup passed his interview we immediately signed him up for a week of boarding and purchased 3 days passes and a grooming session as well. I know Ace can’t wait to get back there and play.
Our dog Oliver loves Camp Bow Wow! The staff is wonderful and welcoming, always greets our pup by name. He’s always so excited when we pull into the parking lot, and immediately falls asleep when he gets home! Highly recommend!
The staff is very friendly and welcoming and I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. The boys are always excited to go and tuckered out when they come home which means they had fun playing and running around. The staff is also very responsive and easy to reach for any reason. I love being able to check in on the dogs whenever I want as well.
Went in for a tour with our new 5 month old puppy. Never got a tour. Receptionist told us we had to have our dog for 2 months before they were able to house him. Wh couldn't she tell us that over phone.🙄🙄 …
Our dog (Teddy) is always thrilled to come to camp bow wow. The woman at the front desk is always wonderful and greets our pup by name as he walks in (wish I remembered her name but she is awesome). Teddy is always worn out by the end of his stay from playing but sad to leave. Love the cameras as well.
Kathy and the staff here are amazing! Have taken 3 generations of family dogs here. They truly care about your pup and tend to any health ailments flawlessly.
If I could give Kokas 10 stars, I would. I have a 9 year old Rough Coat Collie and he is my everything. He comes with some issues, tho. Like terrible anxiety, alot of medication, and being destructive when nervous. I found out about Kokas while looking for dog boarding on Google. When it came time to drop him off, I was anxious because I'll be without him for 3 days and I was worried about him taking his medications and eating. Cathy was sooooo great with everything. I was put at such ease knowing he was in great hands. Cathy was able to get him to take his meds without issue. She also gives all dogs a good amount of time to walk around the building in a safe enclosure so their legs don't get stiff. They have a big area where they can go in and out as they please (their run) and you can bring the dogs bed. Cathy and her husband are angels and i was able.to enjoy my vacation without being covered to worry about Nelson. I am upset that I haven't used their boarding sooner because they are perfect for Nelson. He is set for the rest of his life when we go away on vacation. KOKAS FOREVER! 🐶🐕🦺💙💘💘💞💕
Savanah has a new place to go and she loves it. She has made new friends 🧡 …
I absolutely love this place and so does my dog! I always travel more relaxed knowing my dog is in good hands with Cathy. She is fabulous with the dogs! I love how she posts frequent picture updates on the Facebook page when the pups go out for playtime.
This is one of the best places for dog lovers to board their dogs! Our dog Hershey loves the staff and facility. This professional kennels looks like a kennel should. If you ever need anyone to watch your pup, this is the place.
This place takes better care of our dog than my mother-in-law! Thats an inside joke but its hard to leave the family pet with others and with this team its never an issue. Thank you Cathy!
My dog loves the place and so do I. Cathy and her husband are great taking care of the animals and facilities. I wouldn't take Custard anywhere else.
My Puppy Loved it. Great Owners and Employees. I highly recommend, so does my puppy.
Best kennel going; well run and Cathy and Charley are great with the dogs. Wouldn't send our fog anywhere else
It is like leaving your pet with your most trusted best friend. I could not ask for a better place to leave my furbaby.
I can’t say enough great things about The Ark Retreat and the exceptional care my dog received! I’m very particular about with whom I leave my senior dog, as he is a rescue who still holds a lot of anxiety. So, I don’t leave him just anywhere. After a meet-and-greet with Colin, I knew right away that my fur baby would be safe in his care. The Ark Retreat is in a cozy home setting, which made my dog feel more at ease. Colin’s personalized attention and calm demeanor were exactly what my dog needed. The updates with photos and videos were such a thoughtful touch, giving me peace of mind knowing my dog was not only safe but also enjoying his stay. By the time I picked him up, he was relaxed and happy! I’ve already returned several times and really enjoy knowing that my dog is safe with Colin. There’s always a really nice parting gift for Rio, my fur baby, which is such a thoughtful gesture. The Ark Retreat has truly been the answer to my prayers!
The Ark retreat is an amazing fun place for your pets ,If your looking for someone who is loving and caring to take care of your fur babies while your away Colin is your guy ,He’s is a pet lover,You will never have to worry if your pet is being cared for.Whether it’s boarding ,day care ,or just dropping in for a walk ,Colin is reliable and trustworthy.My boys are so happy to see him .Colin keeps them busy ,I can’t say enough about the services,and reasonably priced.Thank Colin .
The Ark Retreat has been great and communicative when i request walking service for my pit bull. She can be a handful of love and energy, but Colin has consistently been great with her and available for whenever i put the request in. Always lets me know how she was and anything else that’s helpful to know as a dog owner. Very thankful for this, and i prefer it to the popular dog walking app.
I’ve boarded my terrier mix, Remy, with The Ark Retreat and owners Colin, Donnielle, and their dog, Levi. He’s stayed with them for three visits. The longest being 10 days. It was clear that Remy was having a great time because Colin sends daily photos and videos. Colin treats Remy as one of his own with lots of cuddles, walks and treats too. If you’re considering boarding your dog while on vacation or just for an overnight stay, look no further. The Ark Retreat is the place!
The Ark Retreat is the best! I actually think my fur baby has way more fun at the Retreat than with me at home. She’s treated like their own dog/child, and that’s very comforting. When I left on vacation out of the country for a month this summer, they sent me pics and vids multiple times daily, checked in frequently to let me know how shes doing. I trust the Retreat and will use them again and again, won’t even think of sending my fur baby anywhere else. When she’s there, she has the time of her life!
They are the most friendly and kind couple they took care of my cat while i was apartment hunting. They were very helpful and overly accommodating to my cat minx who they treated like family. I recommend THE ARK RETREAT for anyone who needs a safe friendly place for the pets to stay during the holidays away. They gave daily updates and even sent pictures and videos.
Colin had watched our two dogs for a night and he was very communicative with us the entire time, providing updates and photos at regular intervals. He asked good questions during the meet and drop off to ensure he knew everything that was needed to care for our dogs. We felt peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were away.
Hi Colin! It’s clearly apparent that Colin and Donnielle love dogs. Levi, their dog, is the friendliest pup and the perfect host for my Zorro (german shepherd, 2yrs). He has so much fun here that he actually pouts for a day after leaving because he misses them all. I have boarded Zorro with Ark Retreat several times and for as long as 10 days. Each time, we get tons of photos and several update emails each day. Highly, highly recommend Ark Retreat and will have them watch Zorro many more times when we travel! 10/10"
