We just got back from an 8 day vacation. Bryce stayed at our house and took care of our 4-legged pack of 3. I loved all his personal texts and pictures throughout our trip. It is so lovely to feel so comfortable leaving get your home and loved ones in his care. And the house was cleaner than when we left. Kudos to such a professional yet personal service!

Amazingly wonderful dog walking service- their rates are reasonable, schedules flexible, and they even come to your home to stay with your baby while you're away!!! I've told my friends about Philly Bow Wow and would do so again. The other reviewer must not be a real client or have the wrong company. Can't recommend these folks enough.
