We love Pampered Petz! My babies have been taken care of in the most precious way for the past two years. Our first time using Pampered Petz was when our boy was just a young puppy and he was taken care of like he was their own. We just got back from leaving our cat and dog for a week (our longest time) and came home to happy and well taken care of pets. Kim is fantastic, always attentive and loving to our babies. She sends us pictures and texts after each visit to reassure us that all is well. Can't thank Pampered Petz enough.

As always, Pampered Petz did a great job of caring for my dogs, birds and fish while I was on vacation. Highly recommend!

By far the best pet sitting I've come across. Better than boarding my dog. He is comfortable at home and I know he's being taken care of with 1 on 1 play time in his own yard.

Our furry kids, Jaxon and Lily, were spoiled rotten by Deb while we were away at our daughters wedding. She saw to all their needs. I think they miss her not coming by. We feel confident they were in good hands and look forward to using Pampered Petz again.

We've used Pampered Petz for years. They always respond in a timely manner, I usually have the same sitter and have never had an issue. I had a diabetic cat and never worried about his care when vacation occurred. My current sitter loves our fur baby and always sends me pics when I'm away. The best service!

We used Pampered Petz when we went on our honeymoon and they were amazing. From meeting with us beforehand to assess my cats schedule/needs to sending us emails and pictures during our trip at the frequencywe requested, they really went above and beyond. Even my one skittish cat had warmed up to them by the end of our trip and it was thanks to the patience of their amazing staff who took the time to play with them every visit.

I 1,000% recommend Pampered Petz. Kat was caring, communicated, and sent pictures so I could be at ease and enjoy my time away. It's a wonderful feeling to have found someone to trust with my pet's care while I am away. I will absolutely be using her and her services again in the future!

I've been using Pampered Petz for about the past year and most recently 2 weeks ago when an emergency came up and they were able to accommodate me on short notice. The last thing I needed at that moment was to worry about my dog Red being taken care of. Robin took care of him for the 2 days that I was out of town, sent me updates and photo's that I greatly appreciated. I am extremely lucky to have found this service and I highly recommend them!

They are the absolute best! It is apparent that they really care about helping me take care of my 4 legged kids. As a small business owner, I try to surround myself with people I can count on, and of all the people I work with, Pampered Petz is the one team I know I can trust. Thanks so much Kat and Hanz, you are so greatly appreciated!

They took amazing care of my 2 high maintenance dogs ( who had just flown in from California) while we were out of town after my mother passed away. My dogs Cabo and Roxy loved them right away! All the staff was super organized and always had photos and updates on my dogs. The dogs were happy and healthy and completely awesome when we returned home. I am super picky about who watches my dogs and I would highly recommend Pampered Petz!

My bane is Killer. I have been a PP customer for four years. I love how sitter Deb pampers me and does all the things I like. She sends Mom & Dad a text and a picture every time she visits me so they can relax and have a good time. I love Deb and I know Deb loves me. Isn't that all you have to know?

I am super happy with this company's service. It's easy to schedule care and pay for the service. Betty is usually who cares for my two pups. She is excellent and goes beyond expectations. When she is caring for Vince and Shelby, I know everything will be okay and they are safe and happy.

We have been using Pampered Petz to care for our 2 kitties for about one year now, and we highly recommend their services. They are reliable and professional, and genuinely care for our pets. We have used them 5 or 6 times now and have been happy with them each time. It is always evident when we return that Lou and Liz have been well cared for, and we enjoy our trips away more as we do not worry about their well- being. We get ongoing status updates from our sitter while we are gone. Prices are reasonable.

My family uses Pampered Petz regularly and this was my first time leaving my own pet in their care. We left our 4 month old puppy for the weekend and she was very well taken care of! She has a lot of energy but Kat was willing to spend the time to play with our puppy and tire her out before leaving. She even took care of some unexpected messes the puppy left. Thank you for allowing our weekend to be enjoyable and stress free knowing our puppy was in good hands!

We have been using Pampered Petz for several years now and have always appreciated their kindness and caring for our three cats. They visited our home twice a day to feed and play with the cats. We can say that the cats don't appear to miss us at all. The sitters have sent pictures of the cats to us when they visit our home and leave a written report about their time with the cats. It makes us feel relaxed and relieved that we have excellent sitters taking care of our beloved cats.
We have a couple of finicky cats--one that drinks water from a dixie cup and another that is often harassed by our Maine Coon and Ragdoll cats. She is much smaller and they will pick on her. Each of our sitters has given extra attention to her and to the cat who loves his water from a cup. I can highly recommend Pampered Petz as sitters.

Kat and Hans are awesome. We have been using the service when we go on vacation for the past 3 years at least for our 4 kitties! We get updates throughout our time if we need them. They also leave a recap of what happened while we were gone. They are very flexible and were able to adjust when our vacation plans changed last minute. Also, the prices are super reasonable. We thoroughly trust and recommend Pampered Petz!

We can't say enough good things about Pampered Petz, especially Laura! She stayed in contact with us throughout our vacation and sent us the sweetest pics and updates! Our 2 doggies adored her and were happy, satisfied puppies when we arrived home. Laura took the time to really know our doggies, their likes, their habits and their little quirks. This meant so much to us and allowed us to really enjoy our vacation without worry!

We really appreciate Kat and her team at Pampered Petz. Being new to the area, we worried about what we would do for pet care while we traveled or on long days at work, since we do not have any family in PA. They have stepped right up and are always there to help us when we need it. Our regular sitter, Joy R., has been wonderful to work with. She sends us regular updates about our pups and always leaves the sweetest notes recapping her visits and anything that we should know about. Requesting a sitter is super easy and convenient using the online portal, and they are always super responsive in a very timely manner to questions, emails, and pet sitter requests. Two thumbs up and a full 5 stars from this protective pet mama!

We have been using Pampered Petz for over a year and a half for our two dogs and couldn't be happier with the service. Most importantly, our sitter does an excellent job handling two challenging dogs and our dogs absolutely love her. The scheduling and payment systems are easy to use and Kathleen, the owner, is always prompt in responses. We have also used Pampered Petz many times for overnight and weekly stays while on vacation, and again, service has only been top notch. The dogs are much happier and healthier than when we use to board them for the week. We would highly recommend Pampered Petz for both daytime walks and overnight stays.
