We had a relaxed and most enjoyable time at the home of Maria and Derek as they are a pleasant couple and love their animals and home. They presented us with a very well thought out home manual which was clear, concise and very helpful. We parted as new friends and and hope to meet again in the future.
I enjoyed meeting Edward, who is kind and easy-going, and Hector is one of the most well behaved dogs I've ever met. Hector loves to be around humans and often wanted to snuggle on the sofa or rest his head on me while I worked. He is well known in his neighborhood by both people and dogs, and he can tolerate just about any situation with stoic "chill" - yappy dogs, young kids, etc. He was a lovely dog to go on walks with, and the community is geared for that. If you like to be outdoors with an active dog, you and Hector will get on well. (H also loves a solid nap!) Edward's house was very comfortable, in a good area, and his housekeeper was lovely as well. Edward is very well organized with all of Hector's info, and we were able to communicate easily with each other. I totally recommend Edward + Hector!
Leslie and Nick’s place is great! Location wise it’s a short drive to all that you’d want to enjoy while in town - the beach, breweries, art district, downtown and several professional sports teams like Rays and Rowdies. Their amenities like bikes and kayaks are a huge plus. Now, onto the real good stuff - the dogs! Twiggy, Lionel and Reggie are THE sweetest! They have such great pet personalities, get along with each other impeccably( they’re all besties), showed zero aggression and they’re low maintenance. Did I mention cute beyond words? You’ll love watching them. They love the big yard out back and can play there for hours. Reggie will let you throw that ball for him for that long if you’re willing! Overall, 5 stars and highly recommend this family.
It was a pleasure housesitting for Edmund and Tim. They were very welcoming, and their home is beautiful. Daisy was a ton of fun. She loves to play and will definitely keep you on your toes. It’s a great walking neighborhood with nearby cafes and wine bars and amazing hiking trails. I definitely recommend this housesit.
Elizabeth is a great host. She made me feel so welcome in her lovely home. Pumpkin and Pudding are very sweet and easy to look after. I already look forward to coming back for my next sit with them.
I had a great time with Annabelle! She is so laid back and very well trained. Ashley’s home is absolutely beautiful and she was super sweet and helpful when I needed her. I wouldn’t hesitate to sit again when I’m back in town!

Sasha is an amazing kind and courteous caretaker who really goes above and beyond to understand and work with you and your pets individual needs. Also you can tell that she genuinely cares about your pet(s) as if they were her own. I cannot recommend Sasha and Cutie Paws enough!!
Sasha and team Cutie Paws did an incredible job taking care of my two chihuahua mixes. The expertise and attention to detail in maintaining our routine is seriously above and beyond any pet sitter service I’ve ever experienced. I rarely enjoy leaving my pups when I go away; but Sasha made sure to stay in communication and even sent amazing videos and photos of my pups every day giving me peace of mind. What a gift Cutie Paws. Highly recommend!
Sasha and the Cutie Paws team are amazing cat sitters to our bonded pair! They are conscientious and attentive to detail. Sasha knows our cats and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable while we are away. Plus, we get daily text, video, and photo updates, which gives us such peace of mind. We trust Sasha and highly recommend Cutie Paws!
Cutie Paws has been watching our cat almost once a month for about two years now. They are incredible and our cat loves them too. Incredibly responsive and trustworthy, and so easy to schedule with. They even gave our cat a toy to keep once because he liked it so much (it's now his favorite toy). The only reason I wouldn't leave a good review for them is out of fear that more people will book them and make it hard for us to book them! Absolutely get in touch with Cutie Paws for your petsitting needs. You'll be glad you did!
Sasha and the team are incredible with pets! We have worked with Cutie Paws for a few years and only have positive experiences. Everyone genuinely loves animals, are great with communication, and easy to schedule!
Sasha goes above and beyond, no matter what. Twice when she was caring for my cats while I was in California, there was an emergency which she handled quickly & graciously. She’s amazing, caring, patient and kind.
Sasha and her crew walked my dog for the first 9 months that I lived in Philly, and they were wonderful. Sasha is very organized and extremely reliable, and she made sure my dog got walks on every occasion. I also had a schedule changing week-to-week, and they were so flexible in accommodating my schedule. They frequently spent more time with my dog when she needed some extra coaxing to leave the house. It's clear that she cares deeply about the animals and her clients who she cares for. I hope they will continue to help out with my doggo when possible; the only reason I am no longer able to use their services is because I moved. I cannot say enough good things about her professionalism and care.
Sasha went above and beyond while looking after my cat over the holidays! I received comprehensive updates, plus lots of photos and videos. My cat has been shy with sitters in the past, but he took to Sasha right away and I always felt like he was in great hands. I can't recommend Cutie Paws enough if you want peace of mind when leaving your fur babies at home.
Sasha is an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have found. Her history intake is very detailed, very willing to work with our schedules for the initial meet and greet. She's very thorough with each visit, will readily send us text, video, and photo updates when she's with our cats. Communication is key, and I feel like we've never had any issues with that with Sasha. Highly recommend for taking care of your pets.
Sasha is a top-notch cat sitter! My kitties are wonderful and they also require some special care. Sasha not only met but exceeded my expectations when it came to caring for my furry babies. Sasha followed the plan we identified and even further, she took the time to get to know my kitties and built a relationship with them. As a result, I felt even more secure and calm when leaving my kitties in her care. Thank you, Sasha! -Pam J.
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!
Lori is truly a godsend for us! Our high energy pup needs firm but loving direction in a caretaker and it was tough to find someone we trusted with him. Lori came for a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and reassured me at every step of the way. She follows all instructions to a T and our dog loves her! We’ve loved receiving frequent updates and photos from her visits while we’ve been away. She is a great communicator as well and always does her best to work with our needs for scheduling despite understandably having a number of clients vying for her time. Thank you, Lori for taking great care of our pup!
Lori is truly amazing!! She is such a sweet heart and is always willing to work with my crazy schedule !! She treats my pup Tyson as her own she sends me pictures of him every walk and it's such a blessing to have someone love my pup just as much as i do!! I won't have anyone else take care of Tyson besides her !!
Lori is the Absolute Best!!!!! Our dogs love her, and she keeps in contact with us, sending updates and pictures of their activities!!!! We completely trust Lori with our babies!!!! Wish we had known you years ago!!! 💯 Recommend!!!💜💜💜 …
Lori is amazing! Met her just a few days prior to her watching our dog, Jade. She is soo sweet, friendly, and Jade just loved her so much! She came to the house multiple times a day and sent us pictures and videos. I felt so relieved and happy that Jade was so comfortable and loves Lori so much! We already have her booked for a couple of times this summer. Thank you Lori! We appreciate it so much!
Lori watched our guys for 6 days and we couldn’t be happier. She sent us pics and updates a few times daily, which was so so appreciated as we were out of the country ☺️ we got home and everyone was happy and happy to see us
Lori watched by best furry friend for a night for me. I knew he was in good hands - she sent me updates along the way to make me feel at ease since he is a nervous dog. Glad I found someone I can trust with my dog. Highly recommended!
Can’t recommend highly enough! Needed coverage for our pup while away for the weekend. Our dog has severe separation anxiety & a medical condition making him it tough to board him. Lori accommodated all of his needs and ours by staying with him in our home and sent updates with pictures which we loved. She is professional and super easy to work with I highly recommend using her for all your pet care needs.
Lori is an excellent dog sitter! She takes the time to play with my dog, walk her and make sure she is ok when we are not home! I feel comfortable leaving my dog in Lori’s care whenever we are away! She is a 10 out of 10! I highly recommend her dog sitting services!
Knowing Lori was there to watch our 2 older Labrador's was comforting. They were well cared for and happy when we got home from vacation. We have used Lori for long vacations, weekends, and even a quick lunch time visit. Lori can be counted on and you can certainly trust her to come into your home and take care of your pets. We loved seeing pictures of the dogs while we were away. We highly recommend Lori to care for your pets!
Lori was absolutely great with our three dogs while we we were away. She made sure they had as much fun as we did on vacation. She was awesome. She sent pictures the whole time which we loved getting. Highly recommend!!!
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!
Our 7 month old lab puppy was in great hands with Caleb! He sent us a bunch of photos and kept us up to date on how she was doing. She had a blast! We highly recommend Caleb! Side note: Caleb might have a future as a dog photographer. See photo that he took that my wife and I now use as our phone background.
Caleb was recommended to us by our dear friends and we have never considered anyone else sitting our pupper (Shifu) ever since. Caleb is so great with dogs, takes such good care and loves them all so much. I would recommend Caleb to you if you’re looking to trust someone with your pup. Be rest assured that your pup will have the best time at Caleb’s and will even make lots of friends there.
Caleb is great! I was able to enjoy my vacation and know that my pets were in the best care possible! All the pics and videos were greatly appreciated!
I needed someone I could really trust to watch my dog Bowie. Caleb took such good care of him and sent me many pictures which put me at ease. I now wouldn’t trust Bowie with anyone else! I feel comfortable leaving the city knowing Bowie is in good hands and is having a fun time at Caleb’s. Highly recommend!!
We just moved to Philly and we are so lucky that we found Caleb! Not only he takes great care of our pup (Fuller), he also recommends us to so many great spots that we could take our pup. Fuller absolutely loves Caleb - you can tell by the intensity of the tail wag when he sees Caleb. This is a photo of Fuller taking a nap at Caleb’s place. We like that it was crate free so Fuller learned how to be in the house!
I highly recommend 215petcare for all of your dog walking and dog sitting needs! Caleb has been my reliable and wonderful dog walker for years. My 3 very active pitties absolutely love him! Things can be hectic with my work schedule, but I know I can depend on Caleb’s flexibility to make sure my dogs get a nice walk with playtime while I am gone. He has even been able to stop by on shorter notice when I am out longer than I expected to be. It’s reassuring to know you have a dog walker that truly cares for your pet as much as you do, which is completely true of Caleb. I love all of the nice photos he sends of my dogs from their walks too! I recommend him to everyone and will undoubtedly continue with him for the future!!
Caleb is super reliable and you can tell he loves the dogs he takes care of and they love him. We've used him for 3 years and our dog gets so excited when she sees him coming up the street. Offers walks and day care which is great since our schedule changes on a weekly basis. He is more organized than we are most of the time. Would highly recommend!
Can't say enough about Caleb and 215Petcare. I've have been using Caleb for all my pet walking/sitting needs for a number of years now. From the very first time I met Caleb it was evident how much he loved dogs and how passionate he was about providing nothing but the best care. I trust Caleb with the care of my two pups completely...he treats them like they are his own and even checks in on them during times we haven't seen him in a while. My pups absolutely love spending time with him and his dogs. His place is like a second home to them. Highly recommend Caleb to anyone, he truly has become a part of our family.
Caleb shows genuine affection for the dogs in his care. We recently left our two older dogs with Caleb for 10 days. He regularly sent updates and photos. I highly recommend Caleb and already have requested another 10 day stay in January.
Caleb is so good with my dog! He was very patient as she learned to trust him (she developed a bit of separation anxiety during the pandemic). She clearly adores him now. Caleb is also extremely organized and reliable: always confirms appointments, let’s me know his ETA to pick her up and drop her back, and is easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Main Line Dog Sitters has been the most reliable dog sitting service I have ever used. They come when they say they will and I love the updates and pictures I get when I’m away. Also, my dog LOVES them! I highly recommend these guys for any of your petsitting needs.
I have recommended Main line Dog sitters to a number of friends & clients who travel & need dog walking & do sitting services. Everyone has thanked me for the recommendation and has passed their services on to other pleased dog owners. Reliable & Professional
Excellent dog sitting services! Whenever I need to leave town I know I can trust them with my pup. I will be using them for the foreseeable future and would recommend to anyone considering!
My grandmother needed weekly walks for her German shepherd in Ardmore and Main Line Dog Sitters was a life saver! I don’t live in Philadelphia, but figured I’d help out my grandma, and now Luke and his team have been handling daily walks for over a month and everything has been going very smooth! Fully recommend.
I have been a user of Main Line Dog Sitters for almost a year now. I highly recommend their services. The check all the boxes from convenience to punctuality. My dogs have always enjoyed our sitter that MLDS provided
Excellent staff and service! I no longer have to worry about my dog getting her walks in while I’m at work. Would highly recommend to any dog owners in the area!
The team at Main Line Dog Sitters is amazing! I was worried about what to do with my new pup while I was at work. However, Main Line Dog Sitters has gone above and beyond my expectations. The service, communication, and support is outstanding! 100% recommend for your furry friends. Your pup will love it.
They are the best dog sitter on the Main Line! They took such good care of my three little dogs and sent daily updates. These people definitely know what they are doing and I felt super comfortable leaving my dogs with them.
Very professional team with a straight forward process. I’m comfortable leaving town knowing my dog will be taken care of well. Thank you!
I would recommend for anyone looking for a dog walking service. They were on time, respectful, and did a great job with my dogs. Awesome weekly service for the Havertown Area
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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 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.
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!
I contacted them to assist with transporting a rescue dog from one home to another. They responded on a Sunday and helped transport her the next day. They were on time and communicated with me the entire time. I am forever grateful that I found this company. They were the only company to call me back and they were amazing to work with. Thank you!
Pet Taxi I used pet taxi to get my dog spayed at Emancipet on Adam's Avenue. Very affordable from West Philadelphia to Northeast twice. Drivers were friendly and didn't mind waiting for check in and check out. I will absolutely use Collar Club pet taxi again and recommend it to friends.
Bree is truly the best! Sadie is our first dog ever and I was so nervous to leave her with anyone when we first got her. Bree was the first person to ever watch her for us, and we are so lucky to have found her! She sends us pictures whenever we ask for them, and when we leave her for the holidays she always gets special treats! Sadie absolutely loves Bree (and almost every time pees on her front steps out of excitement). Bree is super flexible, kind, and we can tell she genuinely loves every dog that comes to The Collar Club!
We hired Bree to house sit for a week in July, with our puppy and cat. Bree was a no-show for our first meet and greet; late for the rescheduled meet and greet; and nearly 2 hours late for the start of house sitting responsibilities. We thought, that’s ok, she is probably just busy. We provided clear written information on caring for the animals and plants. A neighbor texted to say that she had watered the front porch plants as they were getting crispy. I asked Bree if she would like help with the plants, offering that my neighbor could do all the watering. Bree told me that the plants were looking great and all was well. On the morning of our trip home, Bree informed us that she had fallen asleep without crating the puppy, and he had chewed the couch cover. She promised to pay to replace the cover. Accidents happen, we understood, and we were glad she offered to pay for the damaged item. When we returned home, however, we found that the dog had also chewed the rug and destroyed his bed; the dog enrichment puzzles and kongs we had asked Bree to use had not been touched. In addition, many plants were dead, the laundry machine was massively overfilled, and the air conditioning was set to 50 degrees (which could have broken the unit). We were pretty shocked at the state of things. We added up the cost of damage and provided Bree with an itemized list. We asked for less than half of the cost of damages. We heard nothing back, followed up three weeks later, and then received a message stating that we were causing Bree stress but that, yes, she would refund us the requested amount. By the next week, we hadn’t received the refund, so we followed up. Bree replied that her refunds go out net 15 days. We waited 20 days - still nothing. We followed up, and waited another 15 days - still nothing. This is 35 days total. We wrote to Bree that we would resort to small claims court if we didn’t receive the agreed refund. Bree replied that her accountant processes refunds and she has no control over it. So this is where we are. Given the damage and the lack of refund we may have to pursue legal options next week, and we definitely wouldn’t recommend.
We put a $440 deposit down in August to have our dog boarded. Sadly she did not pass an aggressiveness test and owner agreed to refund our money due to our circumstances. Weeks went by and we didnt get a refund even though they said they did it so we filed a complaint with our credit card company. The owner summited to the credit card company their terms of service for no refunds and because we only had text message proof they would not refund the money. We are out $440 and still waiting for them to return it to us
This was the first time my baby has stayed with Bree at the The Collar Club. Normally, both I and my baby have lots of anxiety. But today when we arrived my baby went straight to Bree and acted as if I didn't exist. She had a wonderful time and the anxiety we both normally have didn't occur today. It was as if we had known Bree forever. I will definitely use her services again and will tell others.
Bella is our baby and we changed the reservation twice because we wasn't sure if she would get Great care. Bree is the Best she is so loving and caring with Bella from treating her dry hair and recommending salmon oils to clipping those killer claws and she must of gave her a shower because she slept so good her backyard was full of entertaining for Bella and hubby was pleased I would be using this service forever Thanks Bree 😊🐕
My experience at the collar club was very reassuring and comfortable due to Bree and her diligence and communication with me during our time there. Her professionalism put me at ease at a time of uncertainty with where to have my animal kept, I highly advise using the collar club when in need of leaving your animal with someone responsible professional and caring.
I absolutely LOVE The Collar Club! I’ve been looking for a safe + dependable place for my puppy for when I need day/night care, and they are perfect. My puppy stayed with them for the weekend and everything from booking to pickup was amazing. I got to see real time updates via an app they use, and even got a little report card at pickup time to let me know how he did. Very pleased with their services and I will be returning soon :)
Bree and her team are the best! I take my cat there every time I travel. The communication is quick and efficient, drop off and pick up is easy, and I know my cat is taken care of while there. I can’t imagine going anywhere else!
My puppy Maeve loves her Tuesday daycare trips. She is a little ball of energy and she always comes back happily drained after a day of daycare. They have both indoor and outdoor areas for the dogs and plenty of play equipment and enrichment. I’ve never had an issue with my dog being injured while there. I’ve brought my other dogs who have had some behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and they worked really well with them too.
We have been using Kiwi for years - now with a few different dogs. We currently have two "special needs" dogs - one blind, one deaf - and I can't say enough about the patience and care shown by the staff in caring for these valued members of our family - I never worry about leaving them for boarding, and our one dog has a great time at day care. Staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating - highly recommend!
5 Stars for bringing our Mira out of her shell! She absolutely loves it here and all we have to say is "school?!?!" and she's at the door ready to leave in the morning!!! The staff is excellent with her and she feels so safe with them, as well!
Been sending my dog here for years, boarding, daycare, the works. He always comes home happy (exhausted) and sprints to get there in the morning. Staff is super friendly, I wouldn't send my dog anywhere else if I had the option. 11/10.
Very friendly owners. You can feel the calm when you walk in the door. Had our dog in all day for evaluation. Dog was very happy & tired when we picked him up. Over all a very pleasant experience. Thank you Meghan Paul & Joe.
Sky stayed at KIWI Dogz for 10 days. She participated in all-day doggie daycare and was cared for in their boarding facilities. Today, when we picked her up, Sky looked so happy. I don't think she wanted to leave her new doggie friends and their caring staff. I highly recommend KIWI Dogz for your daycare and boarding needs.
I go 30 minutes ouf of my way to take my pups here. The staff is all super kind and engaged. They take great care of my dogs! I’ve been using them off and on for 10 years and only paused while living further away. It’s hard to trust someone with your fur babes and they really do love them here.
Staff were pleasant and helpful. Dog seemed happy and was tired at the end of the day.
Janine is without a doubt the best groomer! She is the only person who our special-needs dog lets anywhere near her nails and she is always so loving & kind towards her. We're so grateful we found her and we would NEVER go anywhere else!
They take great care of your dog. We recently went away and our dog got a bit anxious while staying there, likely due to how busy it was during this time of year. Ann the owner was great and her staff kept in touch with us to let us know how he was doing.
