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.

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.

I left my dogs with Sarah Moureau at forpawsphilly.com in July 2023…read more I had originally signed up for a long weekend - three nights. I was a little dubious given the state of her house and yard, both of which were in a high state of neglect. But I was desperate for that weekend, so I dropped them off on Friday. The weekend turned rainy, so I let Sarah know on Saturday evening that I was returning early and the dogs would not be staying over on Sunday nite. I arrived home on Sunday at 11am and called to pick them up. Sarah informed me that she would be home at 3pm and I could get them then. Later, she asked for 3:15. When I arrived at 3:30 ish, she was just getting home. Obviously, she was not home most of the day Sunday to care for the dogs, which is what she was being paid for. She later sent me a bill for the whole 3 overnights amount, $300. When I called her to dispute this, she claimed that I hadn't given 24 hour notice, which I had. But she also became very argumentative. I told her she could have $300 with a review or $250 without one. She did not respond to this and a couple of weeks later, after not hearing from her, I tried to pay her through her website. The website was not working, so I sent her cash through PayPal. I added a note that I was paying this way because her website wasn't working. I still did not hear back from her so I eventually called PayPal to be sure she had received the money, which she had. A couple of weeks later, I received my AMEX bill and saw that she had already billed AMEX for the full amount. And she took the PayPay money as well. Responsible? NO. Flexible? NO Honest? NO I would never recommend this business nor this caretaker. I would worry about her house falling apart and no one being home with the dogs. And I had to block her from calling or texting me. Buyer beware.

She is SO quick to reply and help if your flight is delayed or you have a special request like the one time we had a foster kitten added to our crew who needed meds! This team is top notch! Second, our pets are always excited and happy when we get home, meaning they got excellent care. I have a bit of a moody Jack Russell that has been a tell tale sign if the walkers or pet sitters didn't give enough attention in the past, but she's never been out of wack with TT. She loves their walkers and gets very personalized attention-how do I know? The thorough notes I get for every single visit! TT is worth every penny and we love the love they've shown our 2 dogs and cat and even our house plants some vacations they come by and water them!

You need to read the article that having all 5 stars makes your business look bad. Sorry, every business isn't perfect and TopTails Petsitting is far from perfection.
