WOOF!!!

Pet care experience

We are dog lovers and lovers of all animals. Collectively, my partner and I have over 30 years of experience owning, living with, and caring for animals for other people (mostly dogs). We love playing with dogs and going to parks with them. We are near the Schuylkill River dog park and have a pet-friendly car for ease of transport to and from. (We are also okay not taking them to dog parks if you do not approve.) Additionally, we have identified the nearest veterinarian (PAWS Spay/Neuter and Wellness Clinic is less than a mile away) and pet hospital (Simmons Animal Hospital is less than 1.5 miles away) in case of any emergencies. Your pup(s) is in good hands with us. We have several repeat clients that are very happy with our services.

James is the best, so down to earth and good energy for your dog! I will absolutely be using him in the future! We travel a lot and I trust him with our dog 100%. It’s always hard to leave our pup but it was really nice knowing she was in good hands.

This was our first time having James watch our dog. We were very disappointed with the experience. This biggest issue with the stay was that James had a house guest who allowed our dog to escape the house (we assume accidentally, but feel this was negligent nonetheless, as this is something you would be extra careful about while watching an unfamiliar dog). Our dog was only found some time later by a group of kind neighbors. When these neighbors called we had no idea our dog had been lost, James hadn't called us. He did eventually text us and he did, kindly, take our dogs stuff to a friend we chose to have our dog stay with after the event. While James had primarily positive reviews prior to this experience, we felt the responsible thing to do is to share this experience with our dog owners to make their own decision.

James is absolutely the best! Kept in touch with me, and I felt assured that he was taking care of Charlie. Not the first time Charlie got to spend time with James and definitely not the last!! Thank you :)
