They come on time, send me an update once the walk is completed which usually has a photo of the mutts looking happy, and generally have been very responsive to any issues. We have also utilized her overnight stays for vacations. We also have 2 cats - so all 4 animals are well cared for and loved while we are away. They took care of puppy destruction one visit and dog diarrhea another changing the diet to boiled chicken and rice. Always with great communication throughout to let me know what was happening. Offered to take dog to vet when he was sick with diarrhea. My house and my animals are safe and well cared for. Never feel worried while on vacation. Highly recommend her service!

They were very receptive to my concerns (my dog is adopted and has some anxiety and trouble interacting with other dogs) and put me at ease. They were even able to help get our dog walking better on leash (less pulling) and walking with other dogs! I never thought our dog would be able to go on walks with other dogs, but they are truly miracle workers! Their website is easy to use and I loved getting pictures and updates every day about how the walk went. Also, they are quick to respond and are very accommodating. More than once I had a last minute request and they were always able to find someone to take care of our dog. If you are looking for a dog walker on the main line, definitely pick Dog Gone Walking!!

Why are dog sitters so darn hard to come by?? Here is what you need to know about Lisa D's…read moreDog walking/pet sitting company. This is a GREAT atmosphere to entrust the care of your beloved hound if you want your dog to be part of a lovely pack. Lisa D has three peace-loving medium sized mutts of her own already. They are SO used to new dogs, an introduction of a new dog never bothers them. Your dog will NOT get a hundred percent one-on-one attention because at Lisa's, your dog is just a part of a happy pack of dogs. I hope I won't sound like a dog whisperer or anything when I say, your dog would prefer this. The owner, Lisa, works for a daycare center. She's got lots of first aid qualifications (CPR, Ski Instructor, etc.) Lisa lives with her mom. When Lisa is at work, Lisa's mom is tending to your dogs. (Which mainly involves snuggling and giving treats) That means, in this situation, your dog will NEVER be left alone. He or she will always be surrounded by dogs under the loving care of AT LEAST one human. At Lisa D's, if you dog enjoys sleeping with a human, that is NO PROBLEMA! Your dog is welcome on all the furniture and whatever sleeping arrangement serves your pup best is what will be provided. Also, if you are on facebook or have text messaging capabilities, Lisa D. send you fun pix of your dog DAILY to show you that Rover is having a BLAST. Lisa D. has a big backyard and oftentimes when I go to pick up my dog, I have to wait a few minutes because she is out there playing with all the dogs, including mine. To sum it up: If you want your dog to be the one and only, find another situation. If you want your dog to have a vacation that involves being part of a non-aggressive pack of happy dogs, you know, old school style - you can't get much better than Lisa D's.

I have been using them for years now and they are just great. Not only does my Harper (9 year old standard poodle) receive fantastic care, but I've learned a lot of great techniques from Jess. I am frustrated seeing some kind of politically motivated smear campaign. I have had every one of her employees care for my Harper and never has there been an Emily on her roster. The dog walkers are very thoroughly vetted (in fact Jess recently fired one of Harper's usual walkers for not adhering to her high standards of practices). Don't believe this targeted smear attack taken out by a bunch of loser Charlie Kirk stans. You're dogs are in great hands! Even if you're dog is a bit more high maintenance than the average pupperoo. Highly recommend!

I recently adopted a 9-month old dog and wanted to jump into training right away. I retained…read moresomeone who lived very close to me and had great reviews, but after a few sessions I realized our schedules were not compatible; I was not getting consistency and reliability from her. It's important for me to make progress with my dog, so I Googled alternate options and stumbled upon Alex's page. I called him on a Friday and he picked up the phone right away. We spoke for a while about my needs and he came out the following Tuesday for what was supposed to be a 2-hour visit. I fell in love with him immediately, he is not only so personable and likable on his own, but he really takes the time to LISTEN to what you need and work on those things right away. I had mentioned my priorities to my previous trainer, but I found that she was teaching my dog commands that didn't actually accomplish what I was after. In our first meeting, Alex worked on SO MANY of my priorities. He got my dog to go into her crate on command, taught her to "stay," showed me how to "walk with" my dog better on her leash, and (using a 30' leash outdoors) started working on recall with her. We were so immersed in what was going on that Alex started to go a little bit over our time, but he didn't want to stop because we were making such great progress. I told him if he wanted to give me a third hour right then and there that I was prepared to pay for it, and he did!! I learned a lot of things from Alex myself during our first meeting, like how to employ the use of "deltas" (which my old trainer never once mentioned) and how non-verbal cues are arguably more important than verbal ones. Again, my old trainer actually discouraged me from using hand motions, but once incorporating them into my routine I noticed that my dog was much more compliant than she had been. Another positive difference between my old trainer and Alex is he really takes the time to teach you why he's doing what he's doing, and encourages you to participate. My old trainer just taught my dog a command and had me replicate/practice when she left. Alex really makes you feel like you are a part of the teaching process. After our private session Alex recommended some "Small Group Therapy" for my pup. He came at noon on a Thursday to pick up my dog and she proceeded to go on a several-hour outing with his two chihuahuas and a dog he was fostering. The entire time he was out with her he was recording and sharing videos on an iCloud album. It was INCREDIBLE to not only see everything that was happening, but to hear him narrate why he was doing the things he was doing. I could not get enough of his videos and felt like I was there during the session. On top of Alex's excellent communication, punctuality, reliability, friendliness, competency, and effectiveness, his rates are OUTRAGEOUS in the BEST way! I truly believe he is under-charging for his services. I can get three hours with Alex for less than I paid for one hour with my prior trainer, and I feel much better about the work that is done during that timeframe. I adore Alex, and most importantly, what he is doing works. He really gets into the mind of your dog, and has such a wonderful way of connecting with them and their needs. I am elated to keep our work going - my pup has lots more Small Group Therapy outings in her future and it's wonderful that I have the option to use him one-on-one to teach her even more commands in the house. One day I hope to move on from essential commands to more fun ones, like "roll over" or "go get X toy."

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!
