They do everything from cleaning litter boxes to watering your plants while on vacation. They even send you pictures and videos of your pet while you're away.

Home pet sitting service is the best. Thank you guys.

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.

Mark is such a nice guy! He came for the initial Meet-and-Greet and he really listened to what I…read morehad to say about my dog's wants and needs. He even wrote specific things down which I think really speaks of his character and shows his pride in his business. I knew I could trust him to care for my pup while I was away from home. Mark has a very calm demeanor and friendly personality; very easy to talk to and my dog LOVES him. I am not an easily trusting person so I thought handing over my house key to a stranger would be difficult but it wasn't at all! You'll see when you meet him. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark as a pet sitter. You and your pet will be glad you met him.

Angel Pet Sitting Yelp Review 21 July 2021…read more No response. We contacted Angel Pet Sitting seeking service for an anticipated death in our family almost a month ago, but we received no response whatsoever. It's hard to review a service which does not bother to respond to messages letting them know that you are in need of their services, but failure to even bother to return messages bodes poorly for a satisfactory customer experience. You need someone reliable to entrust the life and welfare of an animal who is a part of your family. As you can see, Angel Pet Sitting did manage to quickly reply herein to this review with more or less a standard "form letter" response while also including a plug for itself and suggesting that the fault lay with the consumer for having not thoroughly checked all email locations (such as spam folders) for their response. When, in fact, we had already done. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest they do the same because over a month later, other than its reply to this review, our inquiry still remains unanswered.

I've used Angel Pet Sitting for a few years now. In total I've spent WELL over $1000 with them…read moreover time. My regular dog sitter is fine, get's along well with the dog and cat and is reliable. The issues come with the ownership of the company and how they treat their clients as well as their lack of services. They do not have an emergency number. You cannot call them or reach them on the weekend. If you reach out directly to your pet sitter (because, for example your flight is late/delayed/cancelled and won't be home in time), you will get a nasty email from the owner of the company. This wouldn't bother me as much if I hadn't been a loyal customer for a few years. This happened more than once too. They also have a nasty habit of up-charging you for anything and everything. You need to make appointments (on their TERRIBLE and confusing website) at least 48 hours in advance... or they charge you a huge emergency fee. I wouldn't mind some of this if their fees were lower but if you're paying a premium price you expect a premium service. Life isn't always so predictable and there are better companies to deal with. I've found them.

For example, one of her staff noticed our cat Woody had a behavioral problem. She brought it to Carole Anne's and our attention, and they worked with us to figure out the cause. When another cat was very sick, they regularly helped my wife give him subcutaneous fluids. All of the staff are carefully vetted (no pun intended).

We had a great experience with Pooch Scoochers and can't recommend Ashley and her team enough!…read more We needed walkers to take care of our dog, Barry, while we were at the hospital welcoming our baby boy to the world. I was worried about scheduling something with unknown exact dates, but Ashley was incredibly accommodating and made sure we could schedule walks and feedings exactly when we needed them. Having that level of flexibility and reliability during such a big life moment gave us real peace of mind. The app they use is great. Super easy to navigate, schedule services, and communicate with the team. After every walk, we received updates with details and photos, which was very reassuring while being away from our pup. It was such a huge relief of stress during a very emotional time. A special shoutout to Rachel, Danielle, and especially Zac for taking such great care of Barry! Long live Pooch Scoochers!

Thanks to Ashley and her team of walkers, we always felt like our pets and our home were in safe hands.

She saved us when my husband and I were prepping to leave for our honeymoon and we could no longer leave the dog at the in-law's place. She quickly organized care for our pets and we didn't have to worry at all during our trip. Booking and rescheduling are easy and painless, communication is on-point, and the walkers are top-notch.
