I've been a TopTails client for almost 3 years and I can't say enough good things about them!…read more First, I agree with what everyone is saying about Tanya . 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!

I made the mistake of hiring Toptails Petsitting I met on Tanya the owner at the meet and greet.

She smoked in the house, left it a pigsty and used our bathroom--her clothes and shoes were in the bathroom when we came home a day early. I reached out since the owner Tanya was our sitter in regards to feeding our two cats Chrissy & Belle. Hire at your own risk! It's no fake REVIEW Miss Grant. The truth hurts. 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. You're upset because it's TRUE from my notes you didn't feed Chrissy & Belle. You can clearly read my instructions on the photos below. Most people use VPN ( No Fake Browser) replaces your actual IP address to make it look like you've connected to the internet from a different location: the physical location of the VPN server, rather than your real location. There's no way to wiggle your way around the truth. You neglected my cats Chrissy & Belle and other pet owners deserve the truth.

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.

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. Whenever our normal walker wasn't available, Ashley would communicate with us quickly and make sure she had another one of her great team members on the way. 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. Many thanks to Manayunk Pooch Scoochers!

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!!

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!!

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!

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.

Through our conversation, I learned so much about what to look for to indicate the QUALITY of a good dog walker including being insured and bonded, what is included in their walking services and even clues to listen for when talking about adhering to a training schedule. I left our conversation not only equipped to find the right walker for my 4 month old Beaglier, but also feeling extreme remorse that I couldn't hire her as my dog's daily caregiver. If you're looking for someone who not only knows her stuff but is warm, friendly, and takes care and pride in her services for your animal look no further. You've found it!
