Pet Sitting near Collegeville

“Before working with Tina, we were truly at our wits' end with our doodle, Perry. He had become an entitled, snippy little brat, and if I'm being completely honest, I was fairly convinced my husband was going to drop him off at a shelter one day while I was out running errands. We loved him, but our home had become stressful, and we didn't know what else to do.

From our very first consultation, Tina took the time to listen to our concerns in regards Perry and was completely transparent about the process. She set expectations upfront, explaining that she would do the hard work during his board-and-train, but it would be our responsibility to maintain and reinforce everything he learned once he came home. More importantly, she gave us the tools and confidence to be successful.

From the moment we dropped Perry off, we felt involved every step of the way. We were given homework, received daily video updates showing his progress and explaining what they were working on each day, and even met with Tina during his stay. At that point, I can honestly say my husband was still skeptical. Tina was honest about Perry's progress and recommended keeping him a few extra days because of his stubborn, bratty attitude. We appreciated her honesty and trusted her judgment.

The morning Perry came home, we were honestly nervous. Our busy household had been so much calmer while he was away that we weren't sure what to expect. But when Tina arrived, we were absolutely blown away. She didn't just drop him off—she spent time training us in our own home, making sure we understood how to continue building on everything Perry had learned. Knowing we also have a follow-up training session available gives us even more confidence.

Since Perry has been home, he has exceeded every expectation we had. Even my husband is amazed by the transformation. He had only been home for about two weeks, but multiple friends have asked if he's a different dog. Just this morning, someone stopped me during our walk to compliment Perry's behavior and how well he walked on leash after another much larger dog was barking and lunging at us from a distance. A few weeks ago, Perry would have completely lost his mind. Instead, he stayed calm and walked right at my side. I never would have believed that was possible.

We're excited to continue working with Perry and watching him grow, but Tina has already changed our lives in ways we can't fully express. She didn't just train our dog—she changed the entire dynamic of our home and helped us keep a beloved member of our family when we were honestly afraid we might be forced to make a different decision.

If you're considering working with Tina, don't hesitate. Her honesty, communication, dedication, and expertise are truly exceptional, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Perry and for our family.“

“I’ve used other boarding facilities and I must say this one is by far our best experience. The dogs are well taken care of and given so much love. We drop off and the dogs know that they are in for a great week. My daughter and other family members started boarding here and are beyond happy with the care. We highly recommend them!!!“

“We just moved to the area last year and were lucky enough to find Trooper Vet Hospital. They are wonderful. We really love the fact that they have a separate entrance for our cats.“

“Just picked up my German Shepherd from EnVi after his week long slumber party. He absolutely loves it there!!!
I never felt once like I needed to check on him. I knew he was in perfect and attentive hands with Victoria and her staff.
While I didn’t ask, Victoria sent photos of him playing with the other campers and you could tell he was having an amazing time!!
What peace of mind when going on vacation to know he is being taken such good care of!!!“

“Tracy was great clipping the nails for my 2 cats and dog a couple weeks ago. I was so impressed I booked a full grooming for my dog. Picked him up today and he looks and smells wonderful! I don’t think his coat has ever been so soft and shiny. 5 stars easily!“

“Hickory Springs Farms were compassionate and kind when I reached out with an odd request, and were willing to discuss other options with me.“

“Had a great experience with obedience lessons at A+ obedience. I can now confidently walk my dog on a leash at local parks without him, dragging me around and without him, barking at every person who walks by. My dog now listens to me when I give him command commands, and our life has truly improved having an obedient pup. Training has also helped make our human animal bond stronger.“

“Erinn Podoshen, owner of Positive Pet Training in Wayne, PA, has been taking care of my two cats when I travel, for many years. There aren’t enough stars in Google to rate her services, so I will give her the best review available on this platform. Her service is affordable and a great value.

She goes above and beyond the role of caretaker and trainer. On my last trip this summer, she communicated with me unexpected issues that occurred and managed them with kindness and consideration. Because Erinn is thoughtful and proactive, my concerns were addressed and I didn’t worry about a thing. Her attention to detail and pet care suggestions and solutions are mindful and impactful. I highly recommend Positive Pet Training for the care and training of all your non-traditional family members.“

“Lisa was very thorough in learning our needs in our consultation. We felt completely confident leaving our cat home during our trip, with Lisa taking care of her.“
