We had our dog at a few of the other day cares in the city before we moved, and she really didn't do well in a small room packed with dogs. At z dog, she gets to be inside and outside depending on the weather. And even when she's forced inside, the room is spacious so the dogs don't feel cramped. The outside area is huge, with lot of space to roam. Our dog has significant noise anxiety issues, so they even let her go into their office during storms so she can crawl under the desk. Great people and great facility. Can't beat it

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!!

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 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.

Rittenhound has solved all of our problems with finding decent pet care in Philadelphia. We have…read moretried many independent dog walkers that were not reliable as well as many companies that did not prove to live up to our expectations. Rittenhound is not only have a great dog walking/pet sitting business but they have one of the best businesses in the city, period. The owners are down to earth, responsible, organized people who take the time to treat each client and dog with individualized care. They assigned us a walker, Noah, who handles our two dogs with ease. He arrives on time, spends a 30 minute walk briskly walking the city and then takes the time to return to our house and spend another 10-15 minutes playing with the dogs. We pay for a 30 minute walk but our dogs get 45+ minutes of attention, easily. The company sends invoices via paypal which is a great and easy paperless option and they communicate (via e-mail) on a weekly basis about schedules. The walkers also leave detailed report cards after each walk that prove to be very informative and helpful. Overall, Rittenhound may have a high(er) price tag than the competitors but they are worth every penny.

Not only did they leave us a detailed and adorable report card, but sent us picture text messages everyday so we could see how happy the boys were at the dog park and at home!

We came home to two very tired and content dogs. Reliable, affordable, and extremely friendly. We will definitely be referring Rittenhound to all of our doggie friends! Thanks again.

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.

We've worked with several other walking services in the past and none provide the peace of mind and reliability of Monster Minders.
