Dean was great, sad we didn’t get to me Jo but we understand everybody is busy. Glad Dean could sitter for our boys though. And so sorry it was a baptism of fire for his first ever sit. He handle two dead chickens 🥹😣 like a pro and warring siblings 😬🐾🤎 (my mistake for not giving enough information, so used to meeting our sitters the night before at doggy dinner time. Not on the morning of the sit start. So completely forgot to mention they need to have dinner in the correct spot and order😬🐾🤦🏼♀️). Dean handle all this in his stride and the place was left clean and tidy and our boys were happy and relaxed when we returned. So hope it doesn’t turn them off taking to pet sitting lifestyle as the boys took to Dean straight away and were perfectly well cared for. 🐾🤎🐾🤎🐾🤎 thank you so much Dean
Maya and Xavier were amazing with our gorgeous Golden Bobbie. He's usually a little hesitant at first, but he took to them wonderfully and they sent us photos so we could see how happy he was the weekend! I really appreciated their messages to let us know he was being a good boy. Would highly recommend Maya and Xavier. So clean and tidy, our house was spotless when we got home.

About five years ago, I received a recommendation to use Shawe’s Paws. I had just rescued my dog Charlie and needed a dog walker during the days. Jenn at Shawe’s Paws was there from Charlie’s first walk and is still walking Charlie today! Not only is Jenn friendly, reliable and loves Charlie as if she was her own, but she knows how to handle Charlie’s quirks and personality. I feel 110% comfortable using Shawe’s Paws, they are trustworthy, dependable, flexible and I know my dog is always well-taken care of during her mid-day walks!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jen is truly one of the best dog walkers out there. Our dog Oscar is obsessed with her - to the point where she tries to walk quietly by our house if she's going to walk our neighbor's dog so he doesn't hear her! On Oscar's first birthday, I was traveling for work and Jen took Oscar to the store to get him a birthday cake toy. It's the smaller, thoughtful things like this that make her irreplaceable in our pup's life. She also takes super cute pictures (attached) and sends an email about how each walk went. She makes leaving Oscar for work trips less hard because I know that he'll be so excited to see her when she comes for his walk!
Jen and the Shawe's team have been walking my family's dogs for 7 years or so. They have always gone above and beyond to accommodate shifting schedules, schedule or cancel on short notice, and even pick up the phone to talk about any pet concerns we might have (unrelated to them! just for advice!). My pup Ollie loves seeing his walkers and I could not do my job without the peace of mind that someone responsible will come take him out and play with him while I work. Bonus - they take the best pics of my little guy while they visit!
We have been using Shawe's Paws for over 6 years and we couldn't be happier! They are responsive, flexible and have always taken great care of our dogs. And now with the new portal it's easier than ever to schedule and get feedback from the walk (and pics!). Thank you to Jen and her team!!
We have had an incredibly positive experience with Jen and her team at Shawe's Paws! When we first moved to Philadelphia, our dog was very shy and timid around walkers that we would hire through various apps, but then Jen came and saved the day. She goes above and beyond to make Benji comfortable and now he gets excited when we just say her name. They send photos and updates during the walks, they make scheduling so easy and they are very accommodating! We have also had positive experiences with a few other members on her team! Everyone at Shawe's Paws is reliable, trustworthy and they all just love Dogs! We would recommend their company to everyone!
I have been using Shawe’s Paws for over a year now and have nothing but amazing things to say about the company!! After several bad experiences with other dog walking services, finding Jennifer was such a relief! My furbaby is in love with her and her assigned walker, Jake. She is always accommodating and treats my dog as if she is her own. Their app makes scheduling and paying so easy. I highly recommend Shawe’s Paws!
I’ve used Jen and her walkers for over 5 years now and I honestly would never use any other dog walking service in Philly. She is trustworthy, reliable, AND LOVES all of her dogs. And my dog absolutely loves her dog walkers, as I’ve been able to see a couple times when my dog will go running toward them, tail wagging if we happen to bump into them on the street. Jen uses an easy-to-use app to schedule walks/pay invoices and to see the daily walk reports which is super convenient. Also Jen makes herself available for every client and will always try her best to accommodate any late requests - I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve had to put in a last minute request for a same-day dog walk or for an overnight stay the week-of and Jen will always make it work. Aside from that, it’s great to get pictures of my dog on her walk while I’m at work - I truly never have to worry Sophie when I’m not at home because I know she’s in such great hands. Love Shawe’s Paws!
Jen and her team has been taking care of our dog since he was brought into our family as a puppy! From consistent walks, amazing walkers and just all around dog people to overnight stays, she has been there for us throughout his life (and will be for the many years yet to come)! Jen is understanding and flexible with last minute changes, which for us happen a lot! Her walkers leave a note about their walk every time and even text/call us from time to time with updates. I have never noticed a thing out of place in out of place after a walker left. The Shawe's Paws team is the only team I trust to take the best care of our dog! Both my wife and I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your dog care need! If you live in Philly and have a dog, CALL JEN!
Jen has been in my dog's life for years (even though we've since moved to the suburbs.) She and her staff are flexible, reliable, and they LOVE their charges/pets. They truly understand my quirky, sweet dachshund and he loves them for it. He even got to sleep over Jen's house!! Jen is super responsive and capable and she chooses excellent staff members. I could go on and on, cannot recommend highly enough!
There is absolutely no one I would trust more with our pups than Shawe's Paws. They are fantastic and dependable for daily walks, and they are there for you if you need to travel without your dog. Shawe's email updates provide you with a story about your dog's walk and a number of pictures as well. We have been a client for six years now. We have no idea what we would do without Shawe's Paws!
Our dog Molly loves this place. She goes three days a week and enjoys playing with the larger dog group there. She has A LOT of energy so it's great that she gets it out while we are at work. It appears that the staff actually enjoys working there and cares about dogs wellbeing. It's fun seeing our girl on social media having a blast. Molly also gets groomed there - it's not exactly cheap but that's because they do a phenomenal job. My only small gripe is *sometimes* the building and she smells like pee when I pick her up.
House of Dog is amazing! I bring my two dogs Miley and Presley there to get their energy out during the week. Everyone knows you and your dogs. It’s run like a regular daycare with lots of enrichment, play time, and they sometimes send them home with arts and crafts. It’s so much fun and my dogs love it! Highly recommend!
House of dog is great! We have been sending our 2 year old mixed rescue Shadow for about a year & 1/2 now to daycare & she loves it! She went through training classes there! She was board there for our wedding & they even transported her to the wedding to be in our ceremony! They do cute themed days! Now we will start sending our new puppy Rocky who is a 6 month old mixed rescue! He just went through his temperament test and seems to love it already! The staff is amazing & I can’t recommend them enough!
My puppy Dakota has been coming here for a few weeks and we have been super happy!! She is always excited to get out of the car and go inside and is always so tired when she gets home from playing! I also love how they post pictures/videos on Facebook all day you can really tell they love the doggies like their own! :)
There aren't enough good things I could say about House of Dog! My dog Romeo has been going there since we first got him (7months) and he LOVES going. I love how they post so many pictures and videos to ease the pup parents minds while they are at daycare/boarding. I have a 8 year old pit, Autumn, who can be a little fearful and was nervous she wouldn't be accepted, but they assured me they would make her stay as enjoyable as possible. Whenever I can recommend this facility, I do!
Hank has been going to HOD for almost a year and we absolutely love it! He attends daycare 3 days a week and has the best time. The staff is always friendly and super welcoming. As soon as we walk in the door, we are always greeted and Hank’s tail instantly starts wagging! I love all of the pictures they post on Facebook and I can always tell Hank is having the best time. If you’re looking for a place to board or send your dog to daycare HOD is the place to go! We love it so much!
This is the only place I would ever feel comfortable boarding my dogs. It’s a ver large, nice, clean building. They even have the cutest shuttle. Follow their Facebook for the cutest posts.
House of Dogs Retreat and Spa was the best move for Tootsie. She loves going there and playing with the other dogs and humans. The workers are friendly and pay great attention to the dogs.
The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive in creating a welcoming atmosphere. They provide a safe and comfortable space for my fur baby. Riley loves going here and she will sleep until 2pm the next day. I can’t recommend House of Dog enough!
HOD is great for doggie day care, and boarding needs. We have been a customer for the last three years and have seen the business evolve. HOD has been effective every step of the way at always keeping up the high quality of their services. They have a great staff and well maintained facility. Their staff are great with communication and they have a client portal which is very user friendly. Highly recommend!
My puppy Maeve loves her Tuesday daycare trips. She is a little ball of energy and she always comes back happily drained after a day of daycare. They have both indoor and outdoor areas for the dogs and plenty of play equipment and enrichment. I’ve never had an issue with my dog being injured while there. I’ve brought my other dogs who have had some behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and they worked really well with them too.
We have been using Kiwi for years - now with a few different dogs. We currently have two "special needs" dogs - one blind, one deaf - and I can't say enough about the patience and care shown by the staff in caring for these valued members of our family - I never worry about leaving them for boarding, and our one dog has a great time at day care. Staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating - highly recommend!
5 Stars for bringing our Mira out of her shell! She absolutely loves it here and all we have to say is "school?!?!" and she's at the door ready to leave in the morning!!! The staff is excellent with her and she feels so safe with them, as well!
Been sending my dog here for years, boarding, daycare, the works. He always comes home happy (exhausted) and sprints to get there in the morning. Staff is super friendly, I wouldn't send my dog anywhere else if I had the option. 11/10.
Very friendly owners. You can feel the calm when you walk in the door. Had our dog in all day for evaluation. Dog was very happy & tired when we picked him up. Over all a very pleasant experience. Thank you Meghan Paul & Joe.
Sky stayed at KIWI Dogz for 10 days. She participated in all-day doggie daycare and was cared for in their boarding facilities. Today, when we picked her up, Sky looked so happy. I don't think she wanted to leave her new doggie friends and their caring staff. I highly recommend KIWI Dogz for your daycare and boarding needs.
I go 30 minutes ouf of my way to take my pups here. The staff is all super kind and engaged. They take great care of my dogs! I’ve been using them off and on for 10 years and only paused while living further away. It’s hard to trust someone with your fur babes and they really do love them here.
Staff were pleasant and helpful. Dog seemed happy and was tired at the end of the day.
Janine is without a doubt the best groomer! She is the only person who our special-needs dog lets anywhere near her nails and she is always so loving & kind towards her. We're so grateful we found her and we would NEVER go anywhere else!
They take great care of your dog. We recently went away and our dog got a bit anxious while staying there, likely due to how busy it was during this time of year. Ann the owner was great and her staff kept in touch with us to let us know how he was doing.
Lisa is incredible. She has helped me so tremendously I can’t even put it into words. My cat Homer is a 16 year old newly diagnosed with diabetes, which makes leaving for holidays and events a bit harder due to his injections. Lisa has helped me more times than I can count, and Homer loves her! It is such a weight off my mind that he is being cared for so well. She sends updates and photos and is always so generous with her time. I can’t imagine what this past year would have been like without her help.
I have used Lisa Burke from Family Style Pet Sitting as my pet sitter for 13 years now. My old dog would actually get excited when he saw us packing for vacation because he knew he was going to go to Lisa’s house for his “vacation.” I never worried about him because I knew he was in the best possible hands. When he was sick and required special care and medicine, she was the only one I trusted. She also takes care of my two cats and my new dog, and she used to take care of my chickens when we had them as well. Highly recommend!!
Lisa was a God send for our family. We had a vacation planned which got changed around a few times due to a family emergency. Lisa was ready at every corner to adjust as she was able. She showed up on time and as expected. She will be used again on our future trips it is nice to have someone that you can trust. Thanks Lisa!
No license No insurance The owner works all day Who is watching your dog cat Cant be trusted, Lies a lot Try and find someone who will steal the money you gave her for dogfood.. Called the police for this review. Do your pet a favor Dont take them here, Your dog will thank you IF you believe this info is incorrect like the owner claims. Call parkside police dept for more info on this unlicensed uninsured business. Ask her what days she works at middletown school or church of media. Full time employee She lies like a trooper My dog ended up in PennVet with an ailment from this unlicensed place. Caught fleas from her 10 cats many times she blamed it on me. Ask before you go Do all animals Dogs, cats, turtles hamsters, have shots before they come to stay? Are shot records on file? Is she licensed, Ask for insurance info. Is there some one watching your pet when she works all day. and is a caterer by night. How many different species of animals stay here. what is the maximum number allowed My dog is wonderful and healthy He gets the finest of care at Matthew Ryan Penn Vet hospital spruce st phila.

try and find some one who will watch your pet with 2 hrs notice on x mas eve for 4 days...
Amazing service! Consistently goes above and beyond. Couldn't be any happier 😁 So glad I found you!! …
Aloha doggy daycare is the very best. My Zoey loves it here so much. It feels so good to know that she’s happy here. The staff is wonderful and they love all our fur babies.
Aloha doggie daycare is truly a home away from home for your fur babies! My dog can’t get out of the car fast enough when we pull up. Pick up and drop offs are swift and easy, you can’t ask for a better experience. I personally enjoy pick up time because I get to hear about the fun/ funny things my dog was doing during the day. Your dog will have access to indoor and outdoor areas, which provides them plenty of space to run around a play! Outdoor access isn’t something that many daycares offer or it’s extremely limited, but here at Aloha my pup is enjoying the outdoors and beautiful weather all while playing with her pup friends! Lisa, Lou and Jarrod are always coming up with different types of dog friendly activities whether it’s playing in the pool, doggie ice cream parties, or bubbles! My dog comes home wipes out! Another nice feature is that Aloha will post up pictures and videos during the day of the dogs playing or just hanging out. You don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is doing all day because you have the opportunity to see for yourself. The facility is very clean especially compared to others. I’ve been to other daycares where my dog came out smelling like cleaner or urine, she was constantly sick. She has been attending Aloha for about 4 months and we haven’t encountered any of these issues. I honestly can’t say enough good things about Aloha, I recommend it to everyone with a dog that I encounter! You know when you send your dog here they are treated like family and are in good hands.
My dog and I love Aloha. Lisa, the proprietor, goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable. She really cares about her clients, and it's really nice to support a family-owned and family-operated business. My dog loves it there and gets excited every time I drop her off. I'm really cautious about who watches my dog, and I know she's safe and happy at Aloha. Sprout, my dog, stays there three days a week and I've always felt comfortable with her under their care.
Aloha Doggy Day Care is BY FAR my favorite place to take my Retriever Rio. The attention to detail and safety for the dogs is top notch. Being smaller than some of the other doggy daycare options allows for much more attentive staff and safer play. Lisa and her son Jared (owners) have been taking care of my puppy since she was 10 weeks old and she is now over a year old. My wife and I cannot reccomend them enough!
All I have to say to Luca is “do you want to go to school to see Miss Lisa” and the wigglebutts start! Luca loves going to Aloha Doggy Daycare and I feel so relieved knowing that she will be well cared for and loved like one of their own. Lisa, Lou and crew are professional, kind, caring and simply the best. We can not say enough good things about Aloha and we are thrilled that we found a daycare that our sweet girl not only has fun at but we know she is in the very best hands. We never have a worry when she is with you. We are grateful to be a part of your ohana. 💜💜
Have been using Lisa to watch Rocky before she even opened Aloha. Lisa and her family are great with the dogs and especially our rambunctious hound. Rocky loves going to Aloha and is literally trying to open the back window in the car to get there even when we are still 2 blocks away. I highly recommend them.
Can’t say enough good things about the team at Aloha. I use them quite a bit because I travel for a living. Every part of the process is just so stress free and easy in an otherwise hectic situation. Marvin and I love this place and are very grateful for its existence.
Aloha is great! My two dogs love it there, especially my 9 month old puppy. The days and hours are great and I love that they offer a multi dog discount which other daycares do not. My girls are in great hands. Lisa and Lou are fantastic 🍍🤙 …
The feeling of dropping off my pup and knowing that she’s loved and well cared for is the best feeling in the world! Ellie can’t wait to get there and play with her dog and human friends ❤️
Aloha is the best and our pup Brody loves it. He knows when he’s going and loses his mind he’s so excited to play with the other dogs.
When dogs chew the plastic, it needs to be replaced, when they have an accident, it needs to be cleaned immediately, so they n employees don’t fall. Aggressive dogs can not be mixed in, you end up at hospital. If someone that knows what they are talking about offers suggestions, listen. Keep dogs moving, people want dogs having fun, playing, interacting, unless they can’t n are elderly. When they come home from work they are tired and their dog should be happy to see them but also feel like they had a busy day. Not , gee! Me, me, me, let’s walk n play for hours now, I had hours of boredom while you were at work! No non spayed or neutered, all shots. If any chance of illness…no do not endanger 50 for 1. The location has the ability to be wonderful. N children should not be brought in to middle to lay around n play with dogs. It is a business, dogs are wonderful animals but once you put 5 together anything can happen. It’s not a child day care a I repeat, kids do not belong on the floor with clients dogs. If a dog bites once you are putting him at risk for bitting again. Step on them, if you bang into them n they have cancer n you don’t know it, a nice dog will bite. You now created an issue for dog owner because you thought it would be fun to have your kids on the floor of a dog day care/ boarding business.
Very expensive for a fair job. I left it to the groomer’s discretion and although my girl was very pretty when I picked her up, they barely cut any hair. i will need to bring her for a haircut elsewhere and pay a nominal fee. Anyway $95 dollars for a wash and a trim for a 10 pound dog is absurd. I will not be returning. Chris and Zoe
Amazing service! I first sent Chloe just for grooming. Then she has done doggy daycare a few days as needed. Always is happy when she sees where we are going. Lia and the team are AWESOME!!!
Our favorite doggy day care spot! Our dog, Houie, goes a few days a month and he absolutely loves the whole team there. He goes running in as soon as we walk through the door. Highly recommend!
They did a wonderful job grooming my Corgi! Everyone there is friendly and their prices are very reasonable. So happy we have a new groomer!
Fuzzy Butts Is The Best Doggy Daycare Out There! I Highly Recommend Bringing Your Dogs To This Establishment Because They Take Excellent Care Of My Pup (OREO) And She Loves It There!!! It's A Win Win 🏆 🐶 …
Amazing place! The team consists of friendly, experienced dog lovers who greet every pup that walks through the door as if it's their own.
I have two rescue dogs who I have to board occasionally, they have high anxiety and we have had bad experiences at previous places but I feel so comfortable leaving my dogs at Fuzzy Butts. It is clear all of the staff I have met care so much for the dogs here and treat them as their own. My dogs who hate going places, love going here even to board! The staff are so accommodating and they communicate so well during their stay.
Our daniff goes to fuzzy butts for regular daycare and boarding. When we get out of the car he runs to the front door and is genuinely excited to see everyone and spend time with his other doggie friends. He had major separation anxiety and a very particular diet due to his size (he needs three meals plus a day) and fuzzy butts has been more than accommodating. The staff are extremely friendly and we love the daily picture updates!
Fuzzy Butts is top tier! The staff is extremely friendly and personable. They go above and beyond to make your pup feel at home. On top of all that, their facility is state of the art. I am extremely happy that my dog is a Fuzzy Butts pup!
