Dog Sitters in North Hills, PA

Great experience! Jim was available on relatively short notice to check in on our two cats while we were away on vacation. He was kind, professional and totally down to earth. Clearly an animal lover. Our cats took to him right away. We loved the text updates! Looking forward to using Puppy Butler in the near future. Update: just wanted to say thank you to Tara for taking such great care of Pearl and Luey. Your warmth and love for animals is so evident. I enjoyed your funny text updates as well. Thanks again you guys!

I can’t say enough good things about Jim and The Puppy Butler! They have been incredibly professional, helpful, and reliable from Day 1. My one year-old rescue dog LOVES his walks and playtime with Jim, and is always relaxed and happy when I come home from work. I love Jim’s personalized text and video updates, as well! As a first-time dog owner, having Jim and The Puppy Butler on my “team” gives me great peace of mind and helps me feel more supported and confident on my journey. I highly recommend The Puppy Butler to any pet owner!

Have been very happy with Jim & The Puppy Butler. They are responsive, reliable and professional. Feel very comfortable with them in my home and with my beloved pup! They're always very understanding of my schedule & accommodating to requests. They always give me plenty of heads up, if my dog's usual walker is ever away. They are very personable and highly recommend.

We used Jim and The Puppy Butler just this past week while we were on vacation. Jim came and let our 4 dogs out every day at the time I asked him to. He sent me videos and pictures of my girls outside in the yard having a great time. Our dogs are our children so there is no better feeling than to know they are so well taken care of while we are gone. We are newer to the area and feel so lucky to have found Jim. Do not hesitate to hire The Puppy Butler if you are need of any pet sitting needs. I will recommend him to everyone in the area! Thanks so much Jim!

Hiring the Puppy Butler has been an amazing choice for us! Jim is always professional and flexible. Jim is excellent with communication and always sends a picture or video of the walk to keep me informed. I am so happy to have found the Puppy Butler for our puppy Theo! I definitely recommend!

The folks from The Puppy Butler are fantastic! This was the first time we left our 2 young cats at home to go away on a vacation — and The Puppy Butler made us feel completely at ease & that our kitties were in the best of hands. They sent us twice-a-day detailed updates with adorable photos & videos (they even played with the cats and kept them so entertained!). They fed the cats just like we described, perfectly cleaned out the litter boxes, and the apartment was spotless. Best of all, we came back home to 2 very happy and relaxed cats, which is the ultimate proof of just well they were lovingly cared for. We will certainly continue to use The Puppy Butler every time we go out of town!

The whole team at The Puppy Butler has been phenomenal! Our dog and cats just love everyone who comes to care for them when we are away. The Puppy Butler team are true dog and cat lovers, who have a real gift when it comes to working with animals. Not to mention just how reliable, friendly and trustworthy they are. I really can’t say enough good things about these people!

My husband and I never left our 7 year old cat Lola with anyone other than a family member so needless to say we were very nervous! However The Puppy Butler did an amazing job not only easing our anxieties but making us feel very comfortable with our decision. The Puppy Butler was reliable and updated us with pictures and videos of Lola during our time away. It was so reassuring to see our cat be comfortable and enjoying new company! We will definitely be using in the future!

If you are in need of a pet sitting service, look no further. The Puppy Butler is the best of the best! They are true animal lovers and are the most honest, reliable, and competent pet professionals I’ve ever met. Simply put, I wouldn’t trust leaving my 3-year old bulldog with anyone else. I’ve faithfully and exclusively used The Puppy Butler for walks, sitting, and overnight boarding for a while now, and have recently just started using them for their new active offleash playtime sessions as well. I so look forward to receiving the adorable photos and videos they send me each day, as it’s such a delight seeing my little chunky furball running around free in nature on their beautiful lawns. Perhaps the most impressive thing of all is that with their expertise, they have successfully managed to somehow get my extra-stubborn bulldog actually excited and engaged for a full hour of energetic playtime each day (although it does result in some serious snoring when he’s taking his post-playtime doggy nap…). I honestly can’t recommend The Puppy Butler highly enough!!

I have been using The Puppy Butler since the business first opened and could not be more pleased with the service. The owner is always on time and has a great relationship with my dog (I think Marley likes the owner better than me!). Marley is leaner and healthier than ever thanks to The Puppy Butler! I am excited to try to boarding and grooming features as well. I would recommend The Puppy Butler to everyone!

Tracy has been pet sitting my cats for a while now, maybe 2 years(?), over which she has developed a good relationship with them all!! She has a lot of availability and she has reasonable rates. She does a great job making sure they are all well attended while we are out. It is hard leaving them since they are older and have some medicines they need- she takes care of it all. Really great to have Tracy taking care of our fur babies!

Tracy is remarkable. She has a gift for connecting with animals and is loving, kind and a best friend to my 86 lb shaggy pup! She has special bond with the all the animals in her care, and they can sense her love and devotion. My dog gets so excited for her walks and cuddle time with Tracy. It gives me great peace of mind when my pup is in Tracy’s care. I can’t recommend Tracy’s Love for Pets enough- Tracy is simply the best!

Tracy genuinely cares about all animals, more than anyone I know. And pets seem to know this. My cat bonded with her more than anyone else ever. Tracy is VERY trustworthy too. If she’s available to take care of your pet/ pets you don’t need to look anywhere else! Thanks Tracy

I get nervous leaving my two cats because we are so attached but I would not trust anyone other than Tracy to care for them when I go away! They are not sociable cats but love Tracy and get obviously excited when they hear her voice, and I believe that that really says something about her as a person and animal lover! She has been available to cat-sit very last minute and is willing to do as many visits per day as my babies need. She sends daily pictures and updates. Tracy is very accommodating and you can tell she genuinely cares about both the pets’ and the owners’ needs. Highly recommend Tracy’s services whether for daily visits or occasional visits!!!

Tracy is by far THE BEST!!! I can not say enough great things about her and the amazing care that she provides our Golden Retriever, Daisy!! Tracy goes above and beyond and is always available, she has been a complete life saver in a pinch! We are beyond lucky to have her in our lives 💗 …

Tracy is awesome! she watches my dog and cat and they both love her so much. she is always available and is very reliable. she goes above and beyond. I will never go to anyone else except for tracy. Highly recommend her to everyone!!!

Amazing dog walker and sitter. Our dog loves her and she clearly loves all her “clients”. She is super responsive and flexible and I trust her completely.

I love Furry Buddies! Our two whippet dogs had the best team of walkers: Tracey, Corbey, Brian, and Carol Ann! Each walker treated our pups with kindness, gave them treats and toys, and absolutely left an impression. The dogs would wag their tails at the front door when a furry buddy walker was at the door! Truly excellent service, always on time, and reliable, and great value. I always felt comfortable and trusted the walkers. Very much recommend their services.

I used Furry Buddies for around 7-8 years. Everyone I met was kind, caring and extremely reliable. They communicated well and if one of the staff was planning a day off and they provided a replacement. I felt so comfortable and relieved knowing they were with my dog,Lexi. They would call or text me if they noticed anything different about her. Their daily notes were great and when I had to say goodbye to her at 15 years old I received cards and beautiful gift from her walker amd the owner made a donation in her memory to a local rescue. This is the best organization to help you care for your pet. It is a great price for what they do. Much more than just a “walk” they provide a loving - compassionate reliable service. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you CaroleAnne

Tina is the best! sometimes we think our cat likes her more than she likes us! Always reliable and the cat isn't stressed when we return so we know she feels safe and cared for.

Carole Anne is caring, responsible and professional. She was referred to me by a neighbor a few years ago and I was impressed by her approach with my 2 cats, one of which is extremely high maintenance. Highly recommend her.

Love this service. Dog watchers are trustworthy and follow directions perfectly. They call love animals, and it shows. Plus, they offer to help with things like collect the mail, water plants, and more.

My cat sitter Tina is totally responsible and caring and goes above and beyond I feel really confident when I come home that my cat is safe and my home is has been protected

Back when we were living in Oreland we used these fine folks to walk our late and beloved dog Spencer. Fantastic staff who are enthusiastic and punctual.

Mary was wonderful with Hugh. He's shy on top of being an elderly, rather creaky old boy but she was endlessly patient and always looking out for his best interests.

Maureen and CaroleAnne are the best! They have been amazing and most accomadating to my zoo crew!

The owner is highly insulting and harasses her customers. She called twenty times just to confirm two visits. The subcontractor agreed to meet after the visits were completed and then declined. After all this, the owner wanted to charge extra.

Mike is the most wonderful person with all animals. Even my difficult mixed breed wiggles like crazy when she sees him coming to pick her up.

I cannot say enough good things about this place!!! We no longer live in the area and we still bring our dog to board here whenever we are away. Our puppy was incredibly nervous around people when we first got her. Instead of turning her away the staff took the time to sit with her and give her time to warm up. Now she loves it there and is comfortable with the staff. The hours are amazing and the price is the best around. It is family owned and they really get to know you and your pet. They always answer the phone or call you right back. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience, first time boarding my pups while on vacation. They were there Saturday to Saturday, three English Bulldogs, one with visual impairment and incontinent issues. I felt at ease while on vacation knowing they were safe and well taken care of. They shared an area and were kept together, fed regularly and were out to relieve them self. I would recommend this business. The owner has a heart of gold and you can always find her on the premises, hands on taking care of the dogs.

They are wonderful! My dog loves going and always comes home exhausted from playing with his friends. They love them and take great care of them! Each room feels like home with couches, beds, TV's.

Stay and play is the best! I highly trust Carol and the rest of her staff to care for my 2 dogs when I am at work or out of town. The dogs love playing with their friends and have the best time. I always know my dogs are in great hands leaving them at stay and play. The staff really treat the animals like their own and I am so grateful to have found such a special place. Thank you for all that you do!

I was very lucky to have found this place when I needed a boarding kennel for my TWC for a weekend. My dog came home happy and tired! I will call them again for sure!

Carol and her team are outstanding! Our dog Bailey had a wonderful experience in doggy daycare and while boarding there over the holiday weekend. We will continue to use this service and trust our dog's care to Stay & Play Pet Resort as long as we are in the area! Thank you!

My daughter has a covid dog. Meaning he is not socialized. We were hesitant to take him, but we needed to board him. When we bought him in the knowledge & comfort of everyone working there, it made us feel at it ease. They helped calm our dog down & were able to take him with no problems. When we picked up our dog, he was happy. Therefore we were happy. I would definitely recommend Stay & Play Pet Resort Inc.

Our Bella (English Bulldog) loves Stay & Play. The staff is welcoming and excited to have your pet stay with them. She stayed while we were on vacation for a week and came home happy and loved. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby!!! See you next time. 🐾❤️ …

I absolutely love the care our grand pup receives! The staff is amazing. I’d give 100 gold stars if I could. I highly recommend!

I recently used Stay & Play Pet resort to take care of my 10 months old kitten Ralphie when I was going out of town on vacation. I am so happy I chose this "resort" for my furbaby. The entire staff is very caring and took great care of my kitten. He got his own room and the staff visited him throughout the day to ensure he was well cared for and for some attention. I called daily to check on him and everyone was very kind and gave updates on how Ralphie's day was going. I am definitely going to reserve a stay for all of my vacations because it gave me such peace of mind knowing my lil furbaby was happy and in good hands. Thank you everyone for your caring and kind spirits 😊

I literally wish I could give Paws and Claws 10 stars. We are incredibly lucky to be able to work with a kind, thorough, hard-working team of walkers and sitters. Our pup, Delilah, can take a while to warm up to new people (to say the least!), but Stephanie, Kelly, Grady, Clio, Traci, and Grace are incredibly understanding and patient with her. My favorite part is reading about the highlights of Delilah’s walks as well as which of our 4 cats make a guest appearance 😂 The communication has always been crystal-clear and the booking process is incredibly easy. Most recently we used the house sitting service over Christmas and the updates were just as jolly as our holiday! Thank you, thank you, P&C!

Philly paws & claws took great care of my dog while I was on vacation. They even sent me pictures of my dog daily. My dog looked very happy in every photo. They took my dog on many walks & gave him the attention he needed. Highly recommend this company for all of your dog needs.

We had Paws and Claws do in-home visits once a day for our kitty, Ziggy, while we were away for the holidays. They were fantastic! Stephanie and her team are so convenient and professional! In addition to taking such good care of Ziggy, they also sent us daily updates with pictures to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend!

I've been using Philly Paws Claws for years for drop in visits for my iguana, dog boarding, dog taxi, and a couple walks. They're consistently A+ service, sending pictures of your pet, on time, easy to schedule with, and just fabulous all the way around. They're a bit more expensive than some but the reliability and quality is awesome. The taxi service is great to combine with boarding because then you don't have to do drop offs or pick ups when you're busy trying to get out of town or arriving back after hours. Thank you Philly Paws Claws!

Stephanie and her team at PP&C have provided incredible care for our puppy since we discovered her services earlier in the summer. Our pup goes to daycare a couple of times a week at Stephanie's residence and has been boarded with her for a long weekend as well. We also tried their grooming services, which exceeded my expectations. I've not had the opportunity to meet all of her staff, but they are diligent about sending photo updates with each service so that we can see our pup going on a walk or playing with his doggy friends. Our pup is always excited to go to daycare and comes home appropriately calm instead of being wired or overstimulated (which we appreciate!). I highly recommend PP&C for anyone's pet care needs!

Paws and Claws is hands down our favorite dog sitting services in Philly! Our dog always come back so happy, and not stressed out at all!

In early August I got the opportunity to help Philly's Paws & Claws out on the 'Dog Day of Summer'. I have to give credit where credit is due, All of the employees were beyond helpful as well as very cautious, caring, and friendly with all the wonderful fur faces that we saw! From what I experienced, this team is all about the hard work and communication but you can tell they do it all for the love of the animals. Lovely to see such a wonderful team of people offering amazing and helpful services to the public. In the future if I were to need service, I would trust them with all of my animals! :)

They have been so great watching my dog. He can be a little needy and high energy but he has so much fun when he gets to go to daycare and he has the biggest smile on his face when he gets home. They were also super great an flexible when my flight got canceled and I needed them to keep my dog another day!

We are so happy with the care and attention our pup, Ava, received at her long weekend stay with PPC. They kept us updated with pictures and texts about how she was doing. Would 10/10 recommend using their services!! Our girl clearly got a lot of TLC while she was there and came home happy and healthy!

My Golden Doodle, Douglas, is always so well taken care of and happy with this team. They've cared for him numerous times, and each time he comes back to use happy and tired! They are very communicative and clearly love all kinds of animals. I will continue to use them and highly recommend.

Jack was very nice and gave my dog a nice workout. Will recommend

Jack was very responsive and professional. 100% would recommend!

We love Howls and Meows! Colleen takes care of Harper like she’s one of her own. Harper starts to bark as soon as she’s pulling in the driveway and never has any hesitation when we leave. Colleen is responsive, sends us pics/videos and has a great Instagram account where we see can what’s happening with our pup while we’re away. Best thing is that Harper always has a friend at Howls and Meows like Squeegie and Biggie Paws :-)

We were initially looking for a place to bring our puppy for overnight boarding that didn't seem like 'doggie jail', and we have been so happy with Howls and Meows! Our crazy dog is definitely more comfortable in their home-like environment than she would be in a kennel. The pricing makes sense, and the business owner has consistently taken great care of our girl when we are out of town. Their flexibility for boarding, overnight in-home sitting, and ability to care for our cats when needed makes it an easy choice!

I have two cats Laverne and Shirley. Colleen is absolutely fantastic! She is always available and very professional. Whenever she is pet sitting she always texts me videos and pictures. She also lets me know how my girls are doing. My one cat Vern is very shy and hides when anyone comes over. Colleen was able to build a relationship with Vern so that she is comfortable. My girls love her! I highly recommend using Colleen and her company for your pet sitting needs!

Howls and Meows and Colleen always take great care of our dog Nelson. There are always other dogs to play with and plenty of space to run around. Highly recommend!

Colleen is wonderful with our dog, Bruce! He’s a 2 year old lab mix who is full of energy and needs plenty of play time. He gets so excited the minute we pull up to her house- he loves going there! Best of all, Colleen has been such a help as we recently found out Bruce has epilepsy. She was right there with us sending suggestions and advice from her years of experience with similar dogs. She’s one of the few people we feel comfortable caring for him when we are away. I know she monitors his medicine schedule and makes sure he’s comfortable in a large crate in case he has a seizure at night. She really goes above and beyond for her clients. You can tell she cares for the animals as if they were her own pets!

Colleen and her business has been such an absolute blessing to our family since we brought our puppy home two months ago. As my father in law says, "She's like the Mary Poppins of dog walkers!" Colleen radiates positivity and kindness and I think she adores our puppy just as much as he loves her. Not only is Colleen always dependable she reliable, she has wonderful communication in updates for our puppy, goes above and beyond by setting up puppy playdates, and has even helped out with little things around the house while she's over (bringing up trashcans, cleaning up after the cat--- she's simply amazing). A couple weeks ago we had a family medical emergency. Colleen was so compassionate and incredible. She came back after her normal hours, packed up our puppy and his things, and boarded him at her place for a few days while we dealt with our emergency. Never did she ask for specifics on when I would be picking up our dog, or bog us and down with questions and demands. We just felt understanding and care from her, and it was such a relief knowing our puppy was in the best hands and we didn't need to worry about a thing. She even sent cute little photo updates on our puppy that were a silver lining in a otherwise very bad time for us! We are so beyond happy with Howls & Meows and can't recommend them enough. Give it a shot and see just how quickly Colleen becomes more than just a dog walker, but a part of your family!

We found Colleen through a Google search, gave her a call, and based on her knowledge, experience, and confidence, we decided to try it out. We went and met with her, saw her home and yard, and were reassured this would be much better than leaving our puppy at a kennel. We were right. She's great, a pack leader so our dog is always safe, and just a nice person. Her rates are reasonable and our dog always comes home happy and tired.

Colleen has gone above and beyond taking care of our Frenchie while we were away. She truly treats these dogs as if they were her own. This was our first time leaving our pup and she checked in everyday, communicated about necessary things, and just gave our dog so much love. Can’t recommend her enough!!

We love the service Colleen provides through Howls and Meows Pet Sitting for our dog, whom she walks every day. Colleen is professional, communicative, super reliable, flexible, honest, and LOVES pets, especially our dog. We work and our dog is often home alone during the day. It's a huge relief to know that our dog will get some TLC during the day. I love that Colleen sends a note after every visit. Hire her! You'll wonder why you ever dealt with other dog walkers or pet sitters.

Colleen is great. She's really in tune with reading dog body language and genuinely loves dogs. She will set up a meet and greet with your dog and hers to make sure everyone will get along. I ended up really appreciating this part, as it made me feel a lot better about leaving my 10 month old puppy for a week. My puppy was actually excited to be dropped off afterwards, because she was excited to play with her new friend Squeegee. She was really responsive and the rates were reasonable. I would definitely take my dog here again.

Mark and his team are the absolute best! Mark reached out to me within 30 min of me sending a message on the website inquiring about their business. He quickly set up a meet and greet visit, took very detailed notes during the consultation and spent almost an hour getting to know our kitty. We then met each individual sitter before our trip and they also took detailed notes. All our sitters are amazing! You can tell they truly love animals and have passion for the work. They accommodated us on a short notice, took very good care of our cat and sent picture updates on each visit. They also did a fantastic job cleaning up accidents and updated me on my cat’s mood and health. The price for a 30 min visit is very good. Overall, my husband and I are so happy we found Mark! Your pet and your house will be in excellent hands.

We've been using Sweet Retreat for two years since moving to the area, and we are really pleased with Mark and Arlene's loving and dependable pet sitting service. They always show such a genuine interest in the safety and comfort of our two dogs, and are timely and follow all the directions we leave them. They take pictures/videos during every visit and help us to feel not so guilty when leaving our pets for a few days. :) We appreciate you guys!

We have always been pleased with the reliability and professional of Sweet Retreat. Our dog is always happy and healthy.

I have used Sweet Retreat Pet Sitting Service for approximately 5 years. I have three large dogs. They are very reliable and dependable. I work a complicated schedule, including weekends and holidays, but they have always been able to cover my needs. It is most Susan and Steve who take care of my fur babies, but if they aren't available Mark will cover them himself.

Sweet Retreat has been great for our dog and family. They are a very reliable and flexible service that we have been using for almost 2 years. Mark is very easy to work with and our dog has really benefitted from the extra attention he gets from the dog walkers. I highly recommend Sweet Retreat!

We’ve been using Mark and Arlene for 3+ years now and they are always there for us. From two week vacations to last minute nights away! Both our dogs and even the grumpy cat are always happy to see them and are always well looked after. They are responsible and respectful of our home and requests! Would recommend in a heartbeat!!!

Absolutely the best! Sweet Retreat Pet Sitting are very reliable, always have availability for services, and staff is best with service and communication! Have used for several vacations for dog walking and sitting our large dog! Highly recommended!

Friendly, reliable, and personable. The Sweet Retreat team have been taking care of our cats and dog for a while now. We always rest reassured when we have SR scheduled for pet care.

We’ve used sweet retreat pet sitting service for a couple years now to take care of our cats while we were away. They are very easy to work with and always do a great job. Highly recommend them.

Mark and Arlene lovingly and patiently care for my high energy pit bull mix. I hate having to leave him but when I do, I have peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. They are reliable and super-competent. I've used their services for everything from multi-day pet sitting when I was away to last minute emergencies and they have always come through for us like the stars they are. I love this pet sitting duo and even more importantly, my dog does too.
