I have used Philly Fit Dog to walk both my large dogs twice a day, 5x a week for about a 1 year now…read moreand I absolutely love and trust them, and there's nothing more important between a dog owner and the dog walker/sitter than trust! Let me summarize the main reasons why you should hire them. 1) They are VERY RESPONSIVE, there's nothing more frustrating than needing to make changes to your walk or book a walk for a last minute weekend and no one is responding. Whitney responds very fast and always does her best to fulfill your needs. She is very professional and has never let me down. 2) Walkers that pay attention and are attentive. I have had about three consistent walkers and they all follow the very specific long and detailed instructions I leave for my pups. Especially Bridget, she is wonderful and so caring with my dogs! 3) Petcheck technology, you can easily schedule/change, track the walk, view the walk report card, and see pictures from the walk. I also leave instructions and building codes on here, it's very easy to use and seems like Whitney checks it very often when you requests new walks. You can also leave notes for the walker that day, this is useful if there are minor changes or if you just need to leave a FYI for your walker. Let me tell you, I have gone through my share of crappy, inconsistent, dog walkers, and it can be very frustrating, but with Philly Fit Dog I can go to work with the peace of mind that my pups will be in good hands, and I can't say how big of a relief that has been. Thank you Philly Fit dog!!

I never worried that my dog wasn't with the best care when I wasn't home. I also used their overnight service and was very pleased with that as well. For anyone who needs dog walking/sitting in the city should contact them. Skully and I thank everyone from the Philly Fit Dog team.

This is a wonderful facility, for dogs and their humans alike. Humans can feel confident that…read morethey've left their fur babies in good hands for the day, whether they've dropped them off at daycare or are using a BarkPark dog walker at home. BarkPark West's indoor doggy daycare is spacious and split into two large rooms: one for big dogs and one for small dogs. The "daycare monitors" make every new doggy feel welcome by taking an adorable photo like the one below to commemorate the dog's first day of daycare. The employees are well trained and are true dog lovers. (I also heard the the BarkPark owners treat their employees amazingly well!) There is a grooming space in the back of the facility, and a MASSIVE fenced-in yard for the doggos to run around in and get exercise. Every time I send my dog to BarkPark, I receive adorable videos and Instagram stories of my dog playing with all her new doggy friends. BarkPark also offers a dog-walking service, and my daily dog walker is super trustworthy and she adores my pup. My dog and I are so happy and fortunate that BarkPark came into our lives and opened up a location near us in West Philly. Do yourselves a favour and send your dogs to BarkPark!

Very happy with Happy Tails of Philly. We had to go out of town for a few days and needed to have…read moreour cats taken care of. 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. I would wholeheartedly recommend Happy Tails of Philly for anyone in need of a cat-sitter.

My first experience with happy tails was great! Jaime's sister watched my cat and she was very…read moreattentive and sent me daily updates with photos. The experience was 5 stars. 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.

Brittany and her team at puppy love are simply wonderful. They have been taking my rescue terrier…read moreSplinter for walks for almost 4 years now! Splinter is very shy/timid and Brittany was great at working with him early on to make him comfortable with her (he normally hides from strangers). Every time they take him for a walk, I get a really nice picture and quick summary and Brittany is always great about coordinating scheduling with me each week (which given Covid working situations has been great!). They've also been great when I needed multiple walks (if I had a long day out of town) or when I had some issues with access to my building. I can't recommend Brittany and her team enough!

Brittany did an exceptional job as a dog attendant for our wedding on 9/24. She met up with us…read moreahead of time to meet our dog Barkley and go for a walk. She transported him to the venue on time and then kept great control over him during pictures and during the wedding itself. Including Barkley in the wedding was important to us and Brittany was key to making that happen. She clearly is an animal lover and was very well liked by our dog. I would highly recommend Brittany as a wedding dog attendant, as well as a dog walker. Thanks for doing such a great job!

Monster Minders is the absolute BEST! All of our Minders have been kind and loving to our dog Pete…read more We know that our current Minder Everest is a STAR because Pete is always overjoyed to see him! We would stick with this company forever if we were staying in Philly. Monster Minders is easy to coordinate and schedule with, and has the benefit of multiple walkers so you're never stuck without a walk if someone calls out sick (an issue we've had with Rover). We know that when our walks are scheduled, they will absolutely happen and Pete will be taken care of according to all of our instructions. They are great communicators and 100% trustworthy.

Monster Minders is the best of the best- we couldn't recommend them (and our walker Britt) more…read more Our dog is not the easiest to walk, though we never had concerns with any of the Monster Minders crew, whether our regular walker or the folks who filled in when our primary walker was unavailable (which was extremely rare). Britt and all of the other walkers were incredibly kind and patient with our dog, and helped her through many low-stress, 20+ minute walks. We've worked with several other walking services in the past and none provide the peace of mind and reliability of Monster Minders.

She will be 3 this year, and we are lucky to have GOAT as part of the extended family caring for her. It's clear he truly cares for the animals in his pack. Rock sends photos and updates throughout the day, a wonderful perk. He also gives me and the other humans in her life guidance for how best to care for her. Let's face it, we humans need training, too! She is a healthier, happier dog as a result. Top notch company. Highly recommend.
