A+ across the board on this experience!!! First time ever we had someone aside from family take care of our pets and spend the night at our home. The best service and professionalism ever, my wife and I stated many times on vacation how this experience even made our trip away from home that much better. Always updating us with photos (which we asked for) Will be using this company for life. 💙 More...

This company is amazing. The owners are so accommodating, patient, and sweet. The staff keeps in great contact with you ( I swear they hire professional photographers for their dog walkers! ). I've had buds do both walks and overnights and my pups (and plants!) are always happy and well cared for. You can tell all of the employees really care for animals :) The ease of scheduling, communicating, and paying online is a life saver for this busy small business owner! Knowing that my someone always has my back where my pups are concerned is a huge relief. Highly recommend this company! More...

I found Buds after years of kennel stays for my last two Weimaraners. Now on my 3rd Weimy that we rescued at two years old and being his 3rd home, he was petrified of the kennel. He met Shaunna and felt comfortable with her within minutes. Shaunna did a couple visits with him herself and then introduced a few Buds to our boy. We have used Buds now for over a year for daily visits and overnight stays and they are absolutely awesome! We recently had to go out of town on short notice and Shaunna and her team were beyond accommodating. I love getting emails with updates and pictures of my boy so relaxed and enjoying his time with his Bud! Thank you Buds!! I wish I had found you much sooner!! 🐶💞 More...

Buds is our go to whenever we go away. We have hired them for walking on several occasions, and to stay overnight on 3 occasions. We know our pups are in good hands. The greatest testimony is how fast Blaze and Kaylie's tails wag when we encounter the Buds booth at a Buds Walk or other event. The dogs are always so excited and happy to see Shauna and the others!

Shaunna was amazing. She came to meet my puppy and within minutes I was perfectly at ease and convinced I'd picked the right place. The service was done on time, I received a pic real time, and my little dude was in great shape when we came back home. I am 100% going to use them again and would recommend them to anyone. More...

Buds was absolutely great! After my pet sitter of seven years decided she will no longer watch my dogs, I turned to Buds and I am very impressed. They are reliable, responsible and care about your animals and home. They were very conscientious of our pups needs and very quick to respond when messaging them. They gave me updates so I wouldn’t worry as much, they were just great. I highly recommend Buds! More...

We had Buds look after or fur and feathered babies while we were away on our honeymoon, and I was absolutely impressed with their service - from the initial meeting all the way through to our return! ! Shaunna, Bob, Lisa and Starr were fantastic! They are competent, friendly, timely and communicative. Their dedication to treating our pets (and our home) as though they were their own was obvious and appreciated. We will definitely be using their services again and again, now that we are all Buds!!

Buds have gone way above and beyond my expectations. I couldn't walk my two husky/akita mixes by myself as they always competed with whose in front of the other. I can now walk both dogs with a loose leash and they are always looking at me for commands. When we first requested the service they worked with both dogs separately in order to get the dogs comfortable with them and get to know their good/bad habits. They asked us what we wanted out of their service and presented a plan on how they would go about it. This was not what I expected. My dogs are beyond excited when they go for their walks and have developed a true relationship with Tori. If your dogs are your family, you'll understand how important this is to us. I'd give them a 10 star if I could!!! More...

I love Buds! The owner and staff are amazing! I have met many of them at various events as well as have had them caring for my fur crew for over a year now. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and it is wonderful to go away and have no worries about their care. This has become especially important since my one cat recently developed diabetes. My husband loves Buds because when we are away I am not a nervous wreck! We also use them for mid day visits for the pups on long work days so there is no guilt about bored dogs doing a potty dance! The staff is extremely knowledgeable about pet behavior and can help curb bad habits while walking your pup. The owner is extremely involved In the local community and gives back by sponsoring events and raising money for local shelters and rescues.

Everyone at Buds takes such good care of my dog. And I’ve been fostering for about a year now and Buds has been so amazing with the foster dogs. Each one is different and the walker helps them get used to a routine, walking on a leash, and any other things that specific dog might need to learn. Buds has been amazing to help me manage my career and also take care of all the precious dogs. I’m grateful for all of their help with the fosters - Buds should take part of the credit for helping to save these dogs! More...

They leave feedback immediately after each visit that you can access in the portal or email so I can rest assured that my pup is looked after.

Thank you Buds!!!!!!! We have 6 cats. One is on meds for his thyroid, another has Diabetes(we found that out in July). Our normal sitter was leary on giving the meds about a month before our trip. We are so grateful for Buds, they came recommended by Valley Vet. We met with Shaunna and during the Meet & Greet the diabetic cat was very present through the whole visit. We were breathing a sigh of relief. When we left for our trip, we knew our fuzzy children would be well taken care of. When we arrived home, the six were all happy & healthy. Our home felt as clean as it was when we left for vacation so we were able to give our kids lots of love. Buds is exceptional in what they do. Thank you for allowing us to have total peace of mind.

Shaunna and the Buds team took care of our pets for 10+ years, from dog walking to field trips to petsitting and overnights. This team knows how to care for pets of all kinds, ages and personalities. But more than that, this team loves them like their own and takes genuine pleasure in making them comfortable and happy. So many times I came home to see that extra touch. The litter area extra clean. Somebody newly brushed. A little note about a cute thing that happened. Even a trip to the pet store when the food ran low and an emergency vet visit when one was critically ill. I recently moved out of the area and had the unfortunate task of finding a new service. I've found someone to feed the cats and scoop the litter but it's just not the same. Buds is one of a kind, second to none and any pet who enjoys their service is a lucky one. More...

Shaunna has taken awesome care of our zoo for 10 years. I originally interviewed 5 pet sitters and Shaunna was the only one who walked through my door and knew how to properly handle our Umbrella Cockatoo. She's always had 2 to 3 dogs, a cat, fish tank and 2 exotic birds to handle in our home and has never missed a beat. I traveled globally for my job weeks at a time and depended on Shaunna to help my husband maintain the zoo, day in and day out. She is always committed to our pet(s) needs.

I can't express enough how much I love Buds!!! We recently moved to Phoenixville, 2 hours from home with very few options to take care of my 9 year old golden retriever, Jameson, if we were going to be away. Without hesitation, Shaunna introduced herself to me, walked me through her business practices and immediately made me feel eat ease. Her first meeting with Jameson could not have gone any better, and she even helped us work with him on leash training a bit (at 9, Jameson never had to be "walked", so he's a bit rambunctious). We're still working with him on our own, and he gets better every day. The staff of Buds is also fabulous...

When we went away for a long weekend, they were very diligent with him and timely in their visits. They also stayed overnight, which was great for his well-being. They kept in contact with us and sent pictures of him, so we knew he was well taken care of. We love our dog, but we hate to leave him. They are a very trust worthy team and we felt at ease and relaxed in having them with him and in our home. There were absolutely no issues with a member of the team staying over.
