Doggy Day Care in Wharton-Hawthorne-Bella Vista, Philadelphia

“We have nothing but great things to say about Amanda! We came to Philly for a long weekend and couldn't find a care facility last minute. We took a chance on Rover and had some worries about trusting a complete stranger with our two anxious pups. Once we saw Amanda's profile, we felt relieved to see someone with such great experience and return clients. Although we doubt we will be able to be repeat clients (since we live a whole state away) we will absolutely search for Amanda if we find ourselves in her area again. Our oldest pup trusted her immediately and stayed by her side for the entirety of his stay. Our youngest was very anxious but came around to her care and felt safe enough to rest with her. We also felt very grateful that her services were focused on one client at a time. I think our boys would have had a harder time coping with other pets around. Amanda has been thoughtful, communicative, and very trustworthy through our whole interaction. You won't regret booking her services! :)”

“Felt so comfortable with this family! My dogs have been with us traveling in an RV for two weeks, they needed to be normal for a day. Normally, when we pick them up from a sitter they are wild. This time, they were relaxed. A day in a home is what they needed. Would definitely recommend!”

“Lisa helped us last minute after a change of plans we could not control. She responded quickly to our request and we appreciated her help. She wrote detailed notes and took several pictures during Teddy’s stay.”

“Amazing time! I have a very shy and nervous girl and they made her feel at home and comfortable. Really happy I found them and we will be returning!”

“So happy with the entire experience! Samantha took such good care of my Banjo, sent pictures the entire day and kept me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely recommend and will keep her in mind if I need someone to watch Banjo in the future!”

“Travis was easy to communicate with and my dog came back just as happy as when I left him. He sent lots of pictures and even took my dog to the dog park that is less than a block away.”

“Kelly, thanks so much for suggesting a quick meet and greet ahead of Reggie’s stay with you…meeting and seeing the fenced in yard allowed me to relax knowing Reggie was in great hands! Please give scoots and chuck a treat for me , they really tired out Reggie and he was ready for a nap as soon as we got home! Will be seeing you (and chuck/scoots) again soon!”

“Hannah took care of my pup while I was in town for a work meeting and had to check out of the hotel before the meeting ended. She made it a breeze with pickup and drop off and I could tell my pup was happy and safe in her care! Highly recommend!”

“Rob was a great host to our pup, Whiskey. He was prompt and provided plenty of updates throughout the day. Whiskey came home tired after a full day of playing with other dogs. I’d recommend Rob for anyone looking for pet care in the area!”

“Sonshine is amazing! It was my first time leaving Louise with someone she’d never met and from the very first moment I instantly felt at ease- she ran right to him and i knew they’d have a great day together. Sonshine sent a photo update within a few minutes, and Louise was already settled in and happy. And several photo updates over the next few hours. And they were enjoying the sunshine on a cute bench in front of his building when i arrived to pick her back up. Wish I could leave more than 5 stars, such an excellent experience all around. Thank you!”

“Ruby was great! I appreciate her helping me out for three days. I was in need of a sitter for my puppy because I didn’t want him home alone for hours. She was very friendly, great communicator and sweet towards my pup. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Camila was the best. She was very responsive when I contacted her to take care of my two kitties since I had an unexpected trip. She sent me photos throughout the days which was a plus. Will definitely contact her again soon!”

“Brendan was fabulous! My family and I were doing a frantic last-minute search for a sitter, and he was able to save the day. He was super patient with us and flexible with our schedule, and he was also wonderful with looking after our dog. We got some great photo updates/communication throughout the night, and our dog (who can sometimes get a bit nervous) seemed happy and relaxed.”

“Seth is a family friend, and he has frequently walked and watched my Havanese Shih Tzu Bentley while I was away on business. He does a great job - prompt, communicative, and Bentley loves him. He has also provided his own poop bags when I forgot to restock. Highly recommend Seth for any pet parent!!”

“Sam was so kind and great with Sadie. At the meet and greet, Sadie was immediately comfortable with Sam and his apartment. He took great care of her during the day and kept us updated!”

“Angela was great with Ruby. She sent us a lot of pictures and Ruby came back happy and content. Angela was very communicative and receptive to our concerns about Ruby‘s demeanor. We appreciate that and had a lot of ease using her.”

“Courtney was amazing! I was nervous about using a sitter and she put me right at ease. My pup was a bit nervous the first day, but the next morning I told him we were going to see Courtney again and he jumped for joy! His review says it all.”

“I highly recommend Alexandra as a pet-sitter. She regularly sits with our elderly miniature schnauzer and is very conscientious about her care. I can rely on her to administer her medications and monitor her special diet, as we travel for several days at a time.”

“Sara, you guys were wonderful with our BudderBall. Loved that you keep us updated and sent pics on him. It made me so comfortable with we drop him off he went right in home with you guys and didn't even look back. I knew he was in great hands. We will definitely see you guys again.”
