Pet Sitters in Edgewood, PA

When we started to plan a trip to Italy, I couldn’t get too excited until I knew who would watch our dogs. Our regular sitter could only cover the first several nights, so I had to find someone to cover the rest of the trip. I looked for hours to find someone who meets our high standards and could stay at our home, especially since we would be an ocean away. Once we did a meet and greet with Gabby I knew she would be perfect. Our dogs loved her and she sent us tons of photos, videos and updates. There is no doubt these pups had constant love and attention. I never had to worry about them which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. When we came home they were calm and healthy. I would not be able to say that if we left them at a kennel. We feel like we made a new friend and am so happy to know I can trust her with our kids. Our home was clean and all secure when we returned, what a great experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Salute!

I don't even know where to begin. Let's just say I have two high maintenance dogs, one being elderly and one being a Jack Russell (enough said on that one!) I always struggle to relax when I am away, because the older dog has separation anxiety, and at nearly fifteen years old, I know her days are numbered. It is hard for me to have peace of mind not being able to be the main caretaker of her. Then I found Gabby. I have never had a vacation where I was able to relax and not be worried about how everything was going at home. Gabby went above and beyond, even with the crazy medication and supplement schedule I have the senior gal on, and the demanding nature of a high drive breed. She sent updates and pictures every single day. I did not have to wonder what was happening or how everything was going. I honestly could write pages about how amazing our experience with Gabby was, but let's just say this.. BOOK HER NOW. I'm already looking for dates for vacation next year so I can be sure to have her in advance. Could not have asked for anything more from her at all. If I could give an infinite amount of stars, I would!!

I have 2 tiny dogs that have super sensitive stomachs and eat 4 times a day. I had to travel out of state for almost a week and was extremely preoccupied about leaving my 2 little ones. I found Melrose pet resort, and let me tell you that Gabby is the most amazing, comprehensive, and pet lover dog sitter you could found. She took care of my babies like they were hers, she went above and beyond to accommodate them so they could be separated from bigger dogs, as I asked, they could have their meals at their regular schedule and she also kept updating me constantly with videos and pictures of my little ones. They had such a great time with her, got to make a few little friends that were staying at her place, and even participated in a Christmas photoshoot!. She gave me piece of mind while on my trip, and I definitely will be using her services next time I travel.

I cannot recommend Gabby and Melrose Pet Resort enough! As a bulldog owner I’m always looking for the best care possible since our boy tends to need a little extra attention, and we absolutely found it with Gabby. She followed our directions to a “T”, and went above and beyond. She also sent us videos and updates throughout our vacation, putting my mind at ease about how our boy was doing. She also took great care of our home while we were away. Gabby is the best and we can’t wait to plan our next vacation and get on her schedule!

Gabby’s attention to detail is on another level. She did an amazing job with our dog, Remi. He is a creature of habit, and his transition from us being out of town to Gabby staying with him and taking care of his routine was seamless. She thinks of everything to ease your mind of what is going on. Her love for animals is apparent, and I appreciate that so much. Remi has specific medications that have to be taken, and I was not worried about Gabby covering everything perfectly. All the wonderful pictures she sent was a bonus, she should consider being a pet photographer! Thank you so much for taking care of our spoiled boy, Remi!

I cannot rave about how great Gabby and Kris were with my dog! Being a sitter myself I know I can trust them with my anxious little boy going forward. I have never left my dog with anyone but my family before and him being an older and anxious dog I was not sure how he’d do. But almost immediately Gabby and Kris made him feel so comfortable and right at home. He received all the attention and affection he needed and I also received all the updates and pictures I needed to know he was doing great. Knowing how well he was taken care of now makes me wonder why I was even worried about him to begin with! After this stay at Melrose Pet Resort I can now look forward to my upcoming trips and enjoy them worry free 🤩🥰

If you want your fur family cared for in the most transparent and considerate way, book with Melrose Pet Resort! Gabby was prompt, communicative, and attentive. During our 9 day vacation we were nervous to leave our shy cat alone since this would be the longest time away. We expressed this to Gabby, who reassured us before and during our trip. She listened as we oriented her to our home and pet. She sent so many lovely pictures and videos while we were away to reassure us our pandemic pet was doing well. Upon our return she checked in inquired about feedback! LGBTQIA++ family friendly pet sitter.

Talk about an AMAZING dog sitter and person, Melrose Pet Resort is a far better pet sitter that I ever came across. I came from out of state, and we were recommended to Melrose Pet Resort while we look for a home. Contacted her and immediately got a quick response. I never in my life have as much interaction with her as other dog sitters in the past. I have a Deaf dog and one with diet needs... Gabby constantly send photo's and video's of there activities, and I could see how happy my fur babies were. She is very personal and active with my pets and I am excited to have her again and as well as Chico and Bella. I am glad I am moving to Florida knowing when I need Gabby again, I will never have to worry about my fur babies again, knowing they will be in great care.... WOOF WOOF APPROVED

Hands-down, the best pet sitter I've ever had the honor to work with. It was like leaving the dogs with a family friend. If I even had the slightest worry about them or their care, it vanished in the rain of delightful photos and videos and the constant updates about breakfast, dinner, lizard hunts and games of Ball. It is just possible that my dogs had a better time than I did while I was on vacation. They stayed in their very own room, in crates for everyone's safety, but were out and about quite a lot of the time (certainly WAY more than they would be in a kennel or daycare) and they were treated like family. They got to "help" make dinner and cuddle on the sofa and watch TV. Obi even got to chase MANY BALLS AT THE SAME TIME. Heaven! Obi and Ursa can't wait to stay with Aunt Gabby again!

We recently put our baby Jasmine here after searching for a boarding facility for weeks. And I can't say how happy we are that we decided to choose Melrose Pet Center opposed to one of those facilities. Not only did she get personalized care, she got love and affection the entire time. We know so because Gabby sent us updates daily; mornings, afternoons when she could, and night. She sent Pictures and videos and Jasmine looked like she was having the time of her life. I also loved the cute bandanas she had while we got the pictures. We were even lucky enough to get a pic of Jas with Santa in their home (Thanks Kris!! Lol). Jasmine also enjoyed playing with her dogs, tiring them out all day! If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! Thank you again for treating our pup like she was one of your own!

I highly recommend Comfy Dog Club to dog owners. My French bulldog stayed there for a week while we were on vacation and he absolutely loved it. Michelle is very detail oriented, reliable and trustworthy. She sends out a report card at the end of the stay, which is informative and adorable. Their place is clean, very secure and is a lot of fun. Huge fenced in backyard and her own pets are very sweet and friendly. She will pick up and deliver your pet! All around 5 five star service!

Our cavapoo Ruby just spent 10 days at Comfy Dog Club for her first time away from home. We were nervous about how she would do but Michelle took such good care of her. We could tell from all the pictures and videos that she was having nothing but fun. Ruby made many new doggy and people friends while she was there and we couldn't be happier! It's nice to know that Michelle is now our go-to if we ever need a place where our pup can feel at home and have a great time, too!!

DuMontier's Doggy Daycare has been a savior for our family. :-) They care for older dogs and smaller dogs and its the perfect spot for my two old timer labs. I have used them multiple times to board my labs while we travel. (You can even see daily photos of your pups on their Facebook Page while you are away.) Michelle is as sweet as can be and will taxi my labs to her house and back again! I highly recommend boarding your dogs with Michelle.

Michelle takes great care of my Beagle Buddy! He absolutely loves running around the large fenced in yard with her dogs and all of the little friends he has made there. I'm always comfortable taking Buddy there and I never worry while I am away because I know Michelle will treat him like her own. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior and she genuinely cares about all of her clients and their needs. I am very happy we were referred to Dumontier's!!

I am so happy to have found DuMontier's!! Michelle genuinely cares about every dog she has. My dog loves going and enjoys running around the secure fenced in yard. Not to mention all friends he has made there plus all the attention he gets. I never worry about him and know Michelle gives him great care. Also rates are very reasonable and easy to complete. DuMontier's Doggy Daycare is the best!

We have been using this service for years for both daycare and for boarding when we are away and it truly is the best pet care service in Pittsburgh. It is a home away from home for our dogs and we never have to worry. Our dogs are treated with lots of love like they are family there which gives us great peace of mind when we are traveling. We always say we would be lost without Michelle because it's hard to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies. I definitely recommend this service!!

We love Michelle, so thankful we found her, would not take our Bailey anywhere else. Michelle treats her just like her own dogs and makes you so comfortable when you leave them with her. She will also come to your home to feed or walk your dog if needed. Bailey has been going to Michelle's for about four years now and even though it is so hard to leave her I am confident that she is loved and well taken care of.

Michelle provides a wonderful environment for my dogs, Frank and Mimi. I wanted to find a homey place for them while I was at work all day that wasn’t institutional. Michele is exactly that. They love going there everyday because it’s her they’re going to be with, and not an array of assistants. Within days she knew my dogs, that Frank was a cuddler and Mimi was a runner. It showed me she spends time with them individually. The yard and the house, the dogs have access to both inside and outside, are beautiful, a perfect home away from home. My guys are excited to go there and excited to come home. Also, equally important, Michelle doesn’t over extend herself. Your dogs are never going to get lost in the crowd there because she doesn’t let that happen. She carefully schedules her crew so you can always feel comfortable that your fur balls are going to be safe and tended to.

I don't know what I would do without Comfy Dog Club! Michelle is so great at meeting your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I have an anxious little beagle and an mischievous bulldog mix who climbs onto chairs and tables...Michelle just rolls with it! The pics/videos she posts during their stay are a great reminder to me that my dogs are happy while we are away. Thanks again Comfy Dog Club

Michelle's doggy daycare services are the "gold standard" in Pittsburgh. Our 2 dogs have been visiting DuMontier's for daycare and sleepovers for years and it is the only place we trust. She goes above and beyond to ensure that every dog feels loved and at home. I highly recommend her services for all of your dog-sitting needs!

We’ve taken our dogs to pet palace a couple times. The staff are nice, though the place itself just gets the job of boarding done as the dogs bark a lot in the same space. This review is about the grooming service we added. I am not even sure if the bath was given as my doodle is so matted with tangled hair, esp his tail, and usually after bath his hair is soft and puffy. All in all, board but DO NOT do the grooming add on.

Had to come to Pittsburgh for medical appointments needing X-ray so had to find a reliable place for my service dog to hang out for a few hours. Making an appointment on the portal was so easy. When he arrived, they treated him so well and made sure he was happy and comfortable, giving him one on one time and documenting his day. We will definitely be back!!

Update: Aug 2024 Rooney is so happy when she realizes that she is going to Pet Palace. Some of the staff have changed and I will miss them but the current staff is caring and kind. I just love the fact that they have relationships with Rooney and they love her too! My yellow lab Rooney has been going to Pet Palace for about 2 years now (Since 2020). We love it here. The staff are exceptional in their love and attention to the dogs and the overnight accommodations are great. They even offer a webcam for me to check in on her while she's there for a night. Thank you to the staff. I am waiting for some Pet Palace swag - a sticker would be great.

My two Poodles were grooming clients with Per Palace at their Southside location for about 2 years, we will never take our pets back to this location, and I suggest you do the same. A week after picking my dogs up from the groomer, my oldest started coughing. After speaking with my vet, they advised it was likely kennel cough. I called Pet Palace to see if they had any cases of kennel cough, and to my surprise, I was informed there was an outbreak and my pets were there when the outbreak was happening. I was never told that my pets potentially could have been exposed. The staff told me “we told all of our boarding clients, the groomer was supposed to tell you”. Well she didn’t. What makes me so upset is that this was purposely hidden from me. When I asked to speak to the groomer, I was told “she doesn’t want to speak with you”. Go figure. Believe it or not, this gets worse. A few days after getting our dogs groomed, we brought home an 8 week old French Bulldog. Had we been informed of the kennel cough outbreak, we would have waited until we knew our Poodles were not infected/beat the infection before bringing home our new puppy. Unfortunately, both Poodles and the Frenchie puppy contracted kennel cough. To be honest, Pet Palace did offer to pay for the medical care needed for all three dogs, and they did follow through with this. I just wish it would have never gotten to that point. Whether it was incompetence or negligence, this situation could have been avoided completely. If we simply would have been informed of the outbreak, it would have been a non-issue. But for me, the act of hiding it and not informing me has broken all trust.

Awesome place that our dog, Frankie, LOVES! We started coming here after meeting Samantha at an event. We are nervous owners with a somewhat nervous dog, but he comes back tired & happy! Samantha & all of the staff always welcome Frankie by name, they treat him like a tiny king! When we call for updates, they are super sweet & really take the time to check in. They seem to do a good job of monitoring playgroups, too. They always make sure his needs & ours are met! Such a loving group here & we are so grateful to find them ❤️

I am a college student and have a total of 3 dogs all with varying needs and personalities. I travel frequently and often have a volatile schedule. I predominantly use boarding with rotating play times. I recommend this place time and time again. It’s affordable and the staff are passionate. My one girl is defensive and my other is fear reactive.. my last is easier to maintain but requires stricter watch over food & liquid. I drop them off, they are nervous but when I pick them up, they are always well kept and extraordinarily happy and comfortable. The boarding records that they are sent home with are adorable. I always feel heard and confident my dogs are getting the attention and care they need. In addition to happy dogs, the staff are very understanding and flexible. Great environment with postive Staff. Problem solving skills are far beyond what I could ask for. Congrats on a well run boarding facility, they are exceedingly rare!

I love the Pet Palace! Our dog, Winston had a great time staying there while we traveled. His "room" was spacious and he had a comfy bed. He got to have play time in the large indoor area with the staff. When we walked through the facility the one things that stood out to us was that it was very clean! We saw that all the dogs that were there were in clean enclosures and all seemed to be very happy. The staff were friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions and concerns. While he was there he got to go to the spa. His grooming service was fantastic. I loved that he came home shiny and clean with his nails done. Over all I cannot say enough nice things about the Pet Palace. We have boarded at other places, but they are our favorite by far. Thank you to all who helped take care of Winston during his stay and making him feel right at home. <3

Last year was our first time using Pet Palace and we had nothing but praise. This year feels different-total opposite. Short and sweet, we make homemade food. We asked before boarding if feeding, refrigeration and schedule could be followed & told no problem. We provided food and written instructions. Well, nearly all food was returned to us. We were told she grazed. We give our dogs dry food but it is not a staple and that was mentioned. So, what did she eat? I am sure the separation and not having normal diet and play created some inconsistency but this feels different. The previous stay she came home with no problems. This time, she is squeamish, lethargic, vomited twice. Last year on pick up day we we were not charged for that day. Similar to hotels, we were only charged per night. This year, we were charged on pick-up day. When we asked, no clear explanation was provided. If it is a check-out time policy, just explain that but ignoring & no explanation leaves a customer in doubt. Our pup (BTW: a small shih tzu) plays by romping. Last year she was excluded from play groups. She plays this way with our 13 year old shih tzu (who stays with grandparents due to age and health issue). She also plays this way with her cousin pups and another pup friend in our neighborhood. She's not dangerously aggressive, just energetic and rough plays by rolling, barking, growling, chasing. We understand a boarding facility not putting her in playgroups for precaution reasons but to give her stimulation we provided treats and an interactive toy. We also paid for 1:1 time. Since our pup babies can't communicate, we trust we get what we paid for. Another doubt is that it looks like she was never given the treats which means she likely did not get to play with her toy. I commend Pet Palace staff honesty by returning the food & treats. It could have all been pitched and we'd never know otherwise but we are now left with unsettling concern. We feel our two experiences are totally different and opposite. Unfortunately, we are not having the same good vibes and are feeling very unsettled about future boarding at Pet Palace.

We had to board Tank, a 220 lb English Mastiff for 10 days while in Pittsburgh for surgery and recovery. It was not an easy thing to do, he’s very spoiled and we have never been away from him for that long. The entire staff were wonderful, took great care of him and pampered him. He was very happy and comfortable 🥰

I felt that the staff at the Pittsburgh Pet Palace truly care about the health and wellbeing of the pets that stay there. My dog, Morty, can be quite a handful and has been turned away from pretty much every other daycare/boarder in the area and so to find a place that would actually work with him and take great care of him was perfect. What I didn't expect was how much the staff went above and beyond for Morty even to the point of taking some cute photos of him that I now have set as my cell phone background photo. Morty tends to be quite hesitant with new people, but the staff at the Pet Palace have always been quite gentle and patient with him to not stress him (or me) out. I'm still quite shocked that Morty actually "likes" going to the Pet Palace. Until the Pet Palace I had never seen him actually go back to someone I handed him off to, but at the Pet Palace he'll literally run back to them and playfully ask for a goodbye belly rub. It is the cutest thing and makes me know for sure that he's being treated extremely well there. For that kind of service there really is no comparison. Pet Palace is the place for me and my pet.

Really wonderful service! Our dogs are very dog-selective and don't do well with traditional boarding services, so we were looking for an alternative during a weekend trip. Pied Piper Pet Sitters was perfect - our animals were able to be in a place that they were familiar with and stick to their regular routine. We got text updates and pictures with each visit, and everything was very reasonably priced. So pleased with this decision, and will definitely be coming back in the future!

Our family loves Pied Piper Pet Sitters. Laura provides updates with photos daily and they're always very enjoyable. I can attest our pets are always safe and well cared for when they're under Pied Piper Pet Sitter's care.

Laura is the most kind, gentle, loving human who truly cares about the animals in her care. Our two cats are our entire world and we wouldn't leave them in just anyone's hands for a week while on vacation. Upon meeting Laura, we were blown away by her knowledge and attention to detail. She took notes during her visit and made us truly feel like our girls were in the best of care. While we were away, she sent us pictures and updates daily which always put a smile on our face! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Laura was watching the girls. We can't wait to use her services again on our next trip! We are customers for life!

Laura is great at taking care of my puppy. Always very flexible with our time request even if it varies all the time. Our puppy loves playing with her each time they go for a walk. Definitely recommend her

Laura sends a map and photos of our dog's walk. Very nice pics and good communication.

We’ve been using this camp location to help care for our boxers for just about a year now. This location is always tidy, clean, and welcoming! The girls at the front desk are so kind and always offer helpful suggestions to improve the dogs stay. They’re great at sending reminders for updating vaccines, and they even offer the semi-annual at the location which is awesome if we forgot on our end — they can just do it there! Our boys get super excited for their stays as soon as we pull into the parking lot! We’ve done doggy day care and boarding, and since we have two dogs that stay together we likely to book the suite for them. The cameras allow us to check in on the pups during the day so we can have extra reassurance that they’re happy (they always are!) and well taken care of. We will continue to be campers here for years to come!

Harlow always has the best time at camp! I love the option for her to get extra one on one enrichment. Thanks for taking care of our girl!

This place was great, until my dog got bit by another dog at daycare. The “manager” called us in complete and utter panic mode (not very comforting to hear). This resulted in a $2000 vet bill & we received absolutely no help from camp bow wow. They refused to provide us with an incident report of what happened or the footage of the incident. We received the other dog owners contact information, however we were preparing for the worst if we had to sue the other dog owner. Camp bow wow handled this horribly & had zero sympathy for what happened on their watch. DO NOT RECCOMEND . Choose a doggie daycare where the contract clearly states that the dog owner will be responsible for any damage/injury to another dog, property, or employee, it will save you down the road trust me.

I had a bad experience the only time I used the dogs stop. It's nice to have a company you can trust with your furr babies! We usually use camp bow wow north but Mia was unbearable today and they were booked up. Camp bow wow east took them, it's great that Mia and Milo have access to all camp bow wows. This was our first time using the monroeville one, they were great!

After a friend recently posted about their dog not having the best treatment while there i realized I never shared our issues publicly, only on our own fb pages. Our boxer was attacked the video clearly shown that she was not the aggressor. The owner of the other dog paid our vet bill. But the sad truth is, we were 1300 miles away, our dog was attacked and camp bow wow refused to drive my dog to the vet, our vets office was 3 miles away and the vet offered to rreat her and keep her till we could get home or make other arrangements. Yet camp bow wow refused to assist. So if my dog is attacked and I'm clearly traveling and boarding my dog with you and she is attacked with lacerations on her throat, back of head and ears are tore up they still refused to assist. Sorry but that isnt a good enough service. If my dog got.injured where she is boarding while I'm away you need to take her to the vet, even more so when I'm giving full permission, literally begging for her to be taken onky for them to refuse. I had to find family close enough to assist. We have never taken our dogs back, we have never even received a refund for the rest of the stay or the grooming we paid for.

My pups love being at camp Bow wow east! I never gone into a place and they didn’t go crazy! They were absolute so comfortable with them the first time they were there!

My Billy Ray seemed to take quickly to the environment at Camp Bow Wow. The staff were friendly and made me comfortable leaving my pup there for the day. I like the setup and the staff really seem engaged.

I've been taking my shy, reserved pup here for boarding for a few years. They've worked with her on each visit so that she's more relaxed and she doesn't stress now. They are super attentive and don't hesitate to reach out if anything seems different. They spoil her and now, when we arrive, she whines until they take her to play! When I had a family emergency recently, they were amazing about working with me, with uncertain pickup dates and last minute boarding reservations so she could maintain a routine while everyone else had chaos.

Love this place and so does my dog! I know she’s always in good hands when she’s either boarded there or just hanging out at daycare! The employees there are always so nice too

My dog loves coming here! We love the cameras to check on her, the flexibility with grooming, the staff is great and the pricing is affordable! Highly recommend.

Much different from the Camp Bow Wow I know from Maryland. I’ve taken my 3 dogs a few times here while I was temporarily living in the area. Their play yards are not large. They have multiple yards, but seems to me only 1 is utilized as the main yard at a time. Is there not enough people to supervise the dogs? There are too many dogs packed in one yard. You could easily split the dogs in different groups based on breed/size/temperament and put them in different yards. One of my 3 dogs was allegedly aggressive the last time they were there. Funny, he is actually the friendliest of the 3 and most timid. Perhaps this location was too overwhelming for him. All my dogs have been to many doggy daycares in multiple states. Never had this concern before. My pups have a lot of energy, but a decent daycare should be able to handle it!

Bailey and I had a great experience here. Caty was an incredible instructor that really give me the tools and knowledge necessary to train my puppy. I do intend on coming back for phase 1 sessions In the future. Overall, I would strongly recommend anyone going to caty for dog draining as she is the real deal!

My only experience with Camp Bow Wow was with their Level 1 Puppy Class since our puppy wasn’t quite ready to stay there for the day camp. Catey, the trainer, was patient and engaging during the sessions. I could tell how much she truly loves dogs - even our puppy who doesn’t like when strangers touch him. She had a lot of good hints and tricks for how to help him with his lack of self-confidence. We had a nice group of puppies and owners, too, so it was a good experience overall.

Melissa called me a few days into a week-long stay to tell me my dog was having stomach issues overnight. I really appreciated how they kept me informed and took special care of my dog feeding her rice and pumpkin to help make her more comfortable. They also returned her bed cleaned and good as new. I am very thankful for their above and beyond service.

I will say we did use them once for boarding years ago and didn’t have any issues and that the facility seems clean. Unfortunately, for them, they now offer an interview to meet the staff and allow you to view their webcams to let you see what really goes on day to day—which appears to be bored dogs without water or a place to lay comfortably. My recent observations from the cameras are there is absolutely no stimulation for any of the dogs; the play areas don’t show any water bowls; and there doesn’t seem to be places to lay down. The only things dogs seem to do is follow the person with the treats around the pen and maybe climb stairs. If your dog is lazy, it doesn’t appear there is anywhere for them to rest or lay down, so your dog is simply roaming all day trying to avoid being jumped/nipped at. If your dog gets thirsty, who knows maybe they’ll get sprayed with a water bottle since that is the only water I could see. If your dog happens to be active or enjoys play—this is likely also not likely the place for them. To make an extra buck, they will try to sell you a 6-week behavior class when your dog wants to play or gets nipped at for attempting to interact with other dogs. If the nipping dogs have been through these courses or if the person offering these courses doesn’t see a problem with the nipping dog, I am definitely not going to be enrolling my dog in the courses you’re trying to upsell. I highly recommend popping into the webcams before booking to see that most dogs are not “playing” in the “play yards” and to see the lack of water/rest areas. I also recommend meeting the staff to see how they interact with your pet and to see how little they seem to understand the animals they work with.

Mickey loves every experience he has had at Camp Bow Wow. He has done Day Camp, Boarding, and training. Catey is an awesome trainer! She does a great job of making the skills she is teaching easy to understand. Although it is a group class she gets to know the dogs and their needs and quirks (owners too!). We always feel like we are getting individual instruction. We have taken Level I and Level II classes, and look forward to Level III.

Staff is friendly, love the web cam feature so I can check in!! Puppy gets to play all day and is nice and tired at the end of her play time 😁 Update: Lucy just had her first overnight stay, and loved it. Added some extra ‘cuddle time’ to her stay, and got an email at bedtime telling me how her day went, including pictures of the staff reading her bedtime stories during cuddle time. Such a relief to have somewhere to take her when we have to go away overnight; the staff takes such good care of my fur baby!!

We love that our dog Coco loves Camp Bow Wow. She gets so excited every time we leave the house in the morning because she knows that means she's going to daycare. We feel confident boarding our dog with them as well, knowing she is well taken care of.

I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow! I have used Camp Bow Wow - Southwest (Greentree) for boarding, daycare, and training. The facility is nice and the staff took their time with our dogs to acclimate them to daycare. We always see a familiar face when dropping our dogs off, which is comforting. When we board our dogs they send photo updates during their enrichment sessions so we can see how much fun they are having. Catey led our training class and she was knowledgeable and fun. Our youngest dog graduated from her Level 1 training and we look forward to Level 2 with Catey!

Alright, so we have been coming here for the last two years. They have typically done a great job. However, today is a different story. My significant other arrived at 953 to pick up our dogs, I was not feeling well and elected to stay behind. She was met with an open door, a sign that said the business was open until 10, and an individual at the counter. This individual informed my significant other that the facility was closed and that we could pick our dogs up at 4 pm when they open again. Mind you, there were still 7 minutes left until they were scheduled to close. I would understand if this was a resturant or an establishment were your property and family pet were not being taken care of. To quite literally deny my significant other of the ability to take what is rightfully ours home is completely unacceptable. I will follow up with what the manager and owner say. ------------------------------- Follow up a few hours later. Spoke with the owner, who looked into everything. After talking with the owner, it's clear that they are understanding of the emotions as well as the disappointment in the service. They are looking back to see how often this has been happening and will be dealing with the situation.

My Corgi Freddy goes here and he loves it! He charges in the door to greet all the staff and then in to play with the other dogs. I feel confident my best buddy is safe and secure when I can’t be with him. The staff and Beth are all awesome and friendly. The location is nice and convenient ! Five stars!

Our dog LOVES it at Woofles. Unlike other dog daycares that have a large dingy empty room, it has home-like creature comforts and a great backyard that has water areas to play in on hot days. The place is clean, and there are sections for large vs. smaller dogs. I get updates from staff when he stays overnight. I tell everyone about this place it’s so amazing!!!

Our golden doodle has been going to Woofles for daycare, boarding and grooming since early 2021. The only problem we have had was our dog’s own fault and Beth and Woofles were understanding and accommodating (he chewed through the wall in one of the suites when boarding as a puppy, so we had to pay a reasonable fee to pay for the damage, and now he does the cage-free lodging which has prevented any further problems). He goes to daycare twice a week, boards a few times a year, and is groomed there as well. He loves all of his time at Woodles. I especially love getting daily photos when he is boarding and updates so we know he is happy and well cared for. He never shows any signs of stress after boarding there and has never become ill. After grooming he is always so soft and smells wonderful. We’ve had a great experience overall. We are thrilled to have Woofles nearby to provide so much fun, love and care for our fur-baby.

We have a family vacation coming up and we can’t take Jordy. I was so anxious and nervous about what we would do. Jordy does go to day care at Woofles but never boarded I had Jordy stay a night to get acclimated. I am much more at ease and so happy that we have Woofles to take care of our Jordy. Thankful for Woofles and the staff. 🐶 …

My dog is wagging his tail before we even enter the parking lot to go to daycare. Beth and everyone there is so nice and you can see they genuinely care about your pets. Grooming has always been spectacular and the open boarding is great for my anxious pup.

The staff is loving and caring. I never worry about how my pupper is being treated. I know he is safe and secure. I know he is having a good time. Woofles is the best doggie care facility I know of. I travel 30 minutes on the Parkways to take my Cebo because it's worth the trip.

Woofles has taken care of my dog for 2 years now. He goes for both daycare and boarding. The staff is very friendly, the facility is very clean and I never worry when he is there for boarding. I also use their grooming services! Highly recommend for ALL things dog related.

This morning when I dropped my dog off at Woofles, Beth, the owner, flagged me down as I was driving out of the lot to show me she found a small tick on my dog’s snout. It was so tiny, it looked like a hair follicle. I would have never noticed it myself! Beth let me know they would remove it for me, and asked to make sure I had treated my dog recently with flea & tick medication. I am SO Grateful!! What wonderful and caring service. Beth and her staff know my dog by name and always greet her very warmly. My dog loves going there, but today was the icing on the cake! I highly recommend Woofles!!! Thank you Beth

We have been using the services of Woofles for over a year and even though we have moved 30 minutes further away we still keep coming back for their Day Care, Boarding and Grooming services. Most importantly our dog truly seems to enjoy her time there whether it be for the day or for a week or more. The facility is clean, the staff are attentive and the facility is well managed. I have boarded dogs at numerous facilities over the years and Woofles (in my opinion) is one of the best.

My grandpup goes there and is well taken care of,lots of room to play,water area,my son and his wife give this a 5 star thumbs up!!

Competitive prices, hours are good and the people there are just great with my dog. She loves it there, it's like a little vacation when I take her over for a weekend or few days when I'm going to be out of the house too long to leave her alone. They have always been great with any concerns or anything going on with my dog and communicate very well. I live nearby so that's easy for me, location is great, just off the Warredale exit of 79 and not far from the Wexford exit also. They also offer in home services, and recently got a groomer there with her own hours. If you are looking for a place for your pet, check them out, they have been really great for my dog.

PLEASE READ !! ** We took our chocolate lab puppy here twice to board. This second visit is one I wish I could undo. Our dog came home limping on his back left paw, you can see some marks on this paw in the attached image. Furthermore, his pee upon arrival home was extremely dark as if he had not been given water for quite some time and was scarfing down his food which is highly abnormal for him. When I called and questioned the woman on the phone and asked when the last time he was fed and given water, she initially said "this morning" and then started jumbling her words together and changing her story. Mind you, it was nearly 5:30 PM when we picked him up. Lastly, the man that brought our dog out to us at the front desk was hoisting our dog up by his collar to walk him as he was visibly struggling to breathe and coughing. Meanwhile the leash we brought was in his other hand serving apparently no purpose. I'm wondering, if that's how they treat our dog in front of us, what is going on behind closed doors ?? A day after dropping our dog off, I called and asked if he could be bathed due to the smell and dirt from the last time we took him here. The woman replied by saying that was an impossible task due to his high energy. My dog and I both weigh roughly 100 pounds and I can bathe him here at home with no problem. So I'm wondering how a dog place such as this one is unable to perform such a simple task. Overall, I would not recommend this place to anyone who considers their dog more than just a wild animal. Be prepared for an outdated and very dirty location, not to mention the lack of care from the owners and staff. We recently moved here and I can assure you this will not be the location where our dog is cared for, I would rather drive the 45 minutes to our old kennel any day before taking him back here. Highly disappointed and still wondering what went on in the few days we were gone.

Excellent care, David was very accommodating to our dates, my dog was always happy to see him, I would recommend them anytime, David went above and beyond his duties, thanks Dave

Dropped two Golden Retrievers off over the Christmas Holidays. My wife and I found the owners thoughtful and conscientious, and the were well cared for. We even picked them up a day early due to a change in travel plans without issue.

Amazing!!! As a new dog owner, I’m was not comfortable leaving my dog anywhere. However, that is not my issue anymore! When I dropped off my dog I noticed the dog kennels are extremely clean and well kept. The owner is professional and very knowledgeable about all animals in general. It made my family feel comfortable to know that our baby was in good hands! Will use them again and again!

The staff Donna Dave and Michael have been taking excellent care of my dogs through out the years. They provide excellent care in a friendly clean environment. They understand missing your pet too. The dogs enjoy their vacation at Rustic Ridge ...tails wag upon our arrival. A professional animal provider will call should a concern arise and take the pet to the vet. if necessary; all while keeping you up dated. The best for my pet.

The runs are basic and allow the dogs access to the outside when the door is lifted. They offer extra services, including 30 minutes of playtime each day. I asked for the additional playtime when I dropped my dog off for a week long stay but she didn't receive it, she also seemed more stressed when I picked her up than when she stayed at other kennels. The price us reasonable but I'll look elsewhere next time I need to board my dog.

I have brought all my dogs here throughout the years and I will continue as needed. Can’t beat the price! My dogs love to go in and out all the time and that’s what they got, with the door they go as they wanted. I feel it is very clean and staff was professional and personable. I drive a little further as I have moved, but this is my dogs vacation resort!

We have been boarding our dogs with Rustic Ridge since 1980. The owners have been wonderfull to deal with. My dogs have been exited to arrive, greeting whoever is in the office. They have always come home in very good condition and, obviously, well fed. The kennels are spacious, with both indoor and outdoor space.

We've been taking our dog here for years. It's run by a wonderful family who truly enjoys my dog. I feel like they take great care of him.

My dog goes there twice a week. Keeps her socialize, & gets some extra exercise. The owner's are very nice.

Chubby Puppy is Elmer’s second home! We had been to other large-brand daycares before finding chubby puppy and there was never the same level of care, attention, knowledge, or cleanliness as Jean provides here at her professional training center and daycare! She knows dogs and will be sure to let you know if something is going on with your dog and she is 99% of the time spot-on! I am so relieved I found Chubby Puppy and feel so confident dropping Elmer off when I go to work!!! Thanks Jean and staff for everything you do!!!!

I can not say anything but good things about chubby puppy. My dog is my child and I am very protective of what he does and where he visits. He has been going here for about three years now since he was brand new and he is in love with the joint. I tell him he is going to his second mothers house when going to daycare here. Though he is excited to see me when I pick him up, he never is in any rush to leave. When we arrive he dives out of the car and lets himself in and makes himself at home. I trust him there and I feel he is safe!

My dog, Mango, loves coming here! The owners are so friendly and I can tell they love what they do. They do an amazing job of working with dogs of different temperaments (my dog doesn’t always want to play or be around high energy dogs, so they give her a separate, calmer space as needed). Would absolutely recommend Chubby Puppy!

I’ve been taking my girl to Chubby Puppy for almost a year and a half now. She gets so excited when we are heading down the driveway to see her dog friends! And when I pick her up in the evening, she is happy and calm for the rest of the evening. Jean and Marty are professional trainers and know how to handle dogs and it’s obvious they truly care for their four-legged clients. We love Chubby Puppy! :)

my dog Fitzgerald absolutely adores going to chubby puppy. my guy is a fun blend of timid but more energetic than a nuclear power plant. The first time he went to chubby puppy he came home and slept all night for the first time in his entire life. The group of dogs there is very well socialized and the handlers are extraordinarily professional and knowledgeable. Since then I’ve been taking him every day that they are open because I can’t get enough and neither can he. The peace of mind provided having my dog at chubby puppy is unmatched, thank you so much!!

Jean and Marty are wonderful trainers with a passion for the dogs in their care. Very reasonable pricing and offers great services. Highly recommend the training courses.

Jean and Marty are experienced trainers .They have taught me how to be a more responsible dog owner, and have done a marvelous job training my dog . The daycare facility is fantastic . A lot safe and friendly environment for my dog . He has made dog friends.

Our puppy Ramsey just loves it there. They take such great care of him, and more importantly, he is worn out from all of the fun when he gets home. He gets so excited when we drop him off there!

Excellent training. I’ve left three Toy dogs for training and all returned home happy, animated and trained to walk happily on a leash and be great canine citizens. Outstanding service and facility. Don’t hesitate to try it.

My Foxy Doxy has been staying overnight at Joe's for over five years now. He really enjoys going to play with Joe with both the big and small dogs. Joe does a free meet and greet. He is licensed by the State of Pennsylvania and inspected two times a year. Joe is so kind and caring and keeps your dog on the same schedule and makes him feel like his home is their home. Joe has a big fenced in backyard for the dogs to play. He also sends pictures throughout the day so we can see our sweet boy. He knows how to administer medications if they are needed. My dog loves taking his vacations at Joe's and I would not leave him anywhere else.

Joe is an amazing Dog-sitter. He is so great with our dog. He is very kind and caring. He sends us pictures throughout the day. He opens up his home to your Dog. My dog enjoys taking his mini vacations with Joe and the other dogs that he takes care of. He has a big fenced in backyard. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else.

Joe is outstanding with our Goldendoodle. My partner and I both work a lot and Joe is incredibly flexible and accommodating. He gives daily picture updates and is fast with text communication. Joe has always been open to our schedule whether early drop offs or switching around pickups. He has been upfront with charges and clear (but easygoing) about payments. I’m attaching a picture—we get something like this from him about midday while she’s at Go-to-Joe. She is ALWAYS well exercised and socialized by the end of the day. We have never had an injury or any adverse experience. Highly recommended!

Joe does an amazing job watching our dog and has been doing it for several years now. Our dog loves going to play with all the dogs in his yard thanks again Joe

I heard of Joe from someone at the dog park and couldn’t be happier! Was able to meet him and introduce my dog before leaving her for a few days. He sent photos and updates on how she was. He really helped alleviate my anxiety about leaving her for the first time after moving. Highly recommend!

Joe is the best dog sitter in Pittsburgh. My dog always comes home refreshed and pleased with his stay. I highly recommend this place for all your dog sitting needs.

Joe is such a natural with dogs: I can’t believe how lucky we are that we found him for our dog’s care when we head out of town. Our dog is always safe, happy, loved, and having the time of her life while we travel.

Joe has been watching our dog, Ted for 8 years now. There is literally no one else we trust with our pup like Joe! He has a phenomenal setup, loves these pups, and takes the best care of them. Ted loves Joe probably more than us at this point and gets the zoomies when we ask if he wants to go to Joe’s house. :)

This is a true dog whisperer. My furbaby always enjoys her stay and comes home completely exhausted. I've used him several times. The pics are always so adorable. My favorite was all the pups enjoying a televised concert. They looked so cozy and chill!

Very friendly and convenient

Took my two (very) reactive pups here for private pool and play yard time. Just wow, not only is it an awesome space and super clean, but every staff person was so understanding and willing to accommodate my difficult dogs. Everyone at Lucky Paws went above and beyond and we can't wait to come back here for more good times!

We went here for a semi-private puppy pool party and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Gretchen and all of the staff are so kind and helpful. They made sure we had everything ready to go so the day of the event went smoothly. It was gross weather and the people who booked after us cancelled, so they let us stay an extra hour for free! Very lovely people and awesome facility!

We visit the outdoor pool and agility area and love it! My pup is always exhausted after we leave… the pool and clean and limited number of pups. Great experience!!

We have been using Lucky Paws for over 12 years (2 different dogs) for boarding, grooming and daycare and I cannot speak highly enough about them in all three areas. The staff and facilities are unparalleled. I am super picky with the places I use when it comes to my dog. He is a part of our family after-all! Unlike dog daycares that just pen your dog in a small gravel-bottomed exposure, Lucky Paws has beautiful, clean and and large indoor and outdoor play yards (with grass!) that also includes a huge swimming pool! (Huge bonus in the summer.) The day care is very well staffed and they actually play with your dogs. Animals coming into their daycare are well vetted which gives me peace of mind that my dog will always be safe and surrounded by healthy and happy dogs. I love the groomers, especially Michelle. She is so good with my dog and does a great job with his haircuts. She is one of the nicest people and my little mini doodle loves her! As for boarding, it is the only place I will consider. Beyond being clean and well maintained they offer a lot of a la carte options that let you customize your pet's stay. I love this flexibility. The staff are all great and you can tell that they all put the animals first. Love, love, love this place! I cannot recommend it enough.

Great outdoor dog park with a lot of running space, an obstacle course and a perfect pool to swim and have a good time. The price is very reasonable and we’ll def be going back

10 out of 10 LOVED this place and my dogs loved it as well!! We went for play time outside in the pool and my dogs had a blast. They check vet records so you know your dog is safe around the other dogs and have a complete enclosed play area. It's only $10 a dog for the whole day!

I took my nervous dog with severe separation anxiety to lucky paws for daycare as I am no longer a remote worker and am required to be in office 3 days a week. Staff was so friendly and helpful on the phone. Very nice people. Also they were so sweet to my boy Manny. Everyone loved him there and I can tell they genuinely enjoy being around the dogs in their care. I can’t wait for manny to have a fun place to go to socialize and play. Other daycares in this area are just a small dark concrete room and a vey tiny area of fake grass. Lucky paws has a beautiful facility and outdoor park with acres of land. I can’t wait for the summer months so Manny can play in the pool. It looks amazing!! They get 5 stars from me, only downside is I do wish they had cameras but I believe the reason they don’t is because like I said they have acres of land with nowhere to really put cameras so it makes complete sense. I would say they are the best in the area. Trust me when I say I have done so much research on daycares and have already tried a couple. Where I send my dog is of utmost importance. My dog is my life and my light and he is what keeps me going. I feel at peace sending him to lucky paws and I know he will have fun and socialize. Thank you lucky paws for making me feel at peace while being away from my dog. I will be a repeat customer that sends my dog 3 days a week. I also would love to try some of their trainings and agility classes.

I really can't say enough great things about Lucky Paws. My wife and I adopted our dog, Dante, as we first moved to the area. We happened to live only a mile down the road, so trying it out was logical. Boy am I glad we did! They literally have it all - HUGE outside area with a seasonal incline pool, a separated astro turf section for when the weather is nice, but the outdoor area is muddy/closed for the winter, and even a huge indoor area for when it's just too damn cold outside! Wait though, there's more! They even have a groomer, boarding, training sessions, you name it! I think the greatest thing they had though, which wouldn't be normally mentioned, is a great community. You see the same people throughout the year and the same dogs. Dante had his own wolf pack to roll with every time we were there and the company shared amongst the humans was great! Luxury like this costs something, but I found the $175 price tag for the year to be more than reasonable. You get what you pay for! It took us moving to Virginia to finally realize how good we had it at Lucky Paws, which is what finally prompted me to sing their praise in this review. So with that said...Gracie, Inca, Remi, Rugby, Meg, Saida, Sophie, and whoever else I may have missed. Dante misses you guys!

Love talking our husky malamute mix here for the pool in summer. One a kind place! The pool is pretty big and the park even larger. Always seems to be a healthy load of tennis balls floating in the pool too.

Gem of a place! The team and facilities at Lucky Paw are fantastic! They look after our pup like she was their own and the variety of services cover everything from grooming, daycare, and boarding. Highly recommend!
