Lucy isn't just a "quick walk" dog -- she has her quirks and routines -- and the team consistently showed patience, attentiveness, and real affection for her. Whether it was regular weekday walks or coverage when my schedule was unpredictable, I always knew she was in capable, caring hands. I recently moved across town and unfortunately won't be able to rely on them anymore. If you're in the Fairmount/Brewerytown area and looking for trustworthy, experienced, and kind pet care -- this is your team. Grateful for all the years of care. Lucy and I will miss you!

It's been awhile since my initial pre-pandemic review so I wanted to update it to spread the word…read moreon how amazing The Pet Nanny is. We are so grateful that we can rely on them for our 2 previous cats. We have specific feeding instructions for them and I appreciate that everyone follows as requested. Importantly, they also try to engage with the cats (who are usually pretty scared) and treat them with love and care (and leave them treats). They also take pictures so we know they are being cared for. We know our cats don't like it when we're gone but we're glad we can rely on The Pet Nanny. I strongly recommend them their pet services.

The only reason we are not using her anymore is that we moved outside of the Philly area.

She was already scheduled to give one of my cats fluids every other day, and when I needed extra care in an emergency, she was very helpful and flexible in scheduling extra visits. I could relax during my vacation knowing that my animals we're getting expert care! I can't say enough good things about her. She's very professional and caring at the same time. I will definitely ask her to pet sit for me again!

We set up a time to meet me and the cats at 5pm on Thursday. No show. No call. We're talking a very busy time when you need to rely on someone who says she will be there. I called and got a weak excuse about not feeling well. Again. No show. No call. And she was less than responsive, to say the least, when I asked her for ways to make this work. One thing that totally doesn't work for pet sitting is not communicating and not showing up. I would not recommend considering this person for pet sitting, and I have been working with pet sitters for over 30 years. Nope. I know the field and have had wonderful pet sitters for both my dogs and cats over the years, and this is not the person you want. Full stop.

Jaime did an absolutely terrific job of tending to our cats and texted us every day with how the cats were doing. She really bonded with them also, which was really nice.

My second experience was not nearly as great. I had a different sitter. She was late to the meet and greet because she mixed up appointments (not terrible, it happens), she didn't send me daily updates, so I got worried and had to ask my brother to reach out to her on two separate occasions which stressed me out. Lastly, she kept my house key for months. I emailed twice to ask for the key back and I didn't get a response to either email. I contacted Jaime and she was very prompt and got it resolved immediately. I love my pet like a family member, which makes me anxious when I have to leave her. If you're a person who doesn't need daily updates while away on vacation, you'd probably be fine with the second sitter. After that experience, I chose to work with a different company.
