Pet Sitters in Rittenhouse, PA

Amanda is fantastic!! I’ve booked her a few times to watch my kitties for when I’m away on trips. She is always on time, reliable, and keeps me updated on her visits. Amanda gives a thorough report after her visits on their feeding habits, mood, playtime, and much more (with adorable pics). Her visits have given me peace at mind while I’m away, which I’ll definitely continue to book with her. Thanks for taking great care of my babies :)

Amanda took amazing care of our three dogs during an overseas vacation. She took great care of our dogs as well as our house, sending multiple pictures and updates of each dog every day. We had no concerns while we were away. We would highly recommend Panda's Petsitting to anyone searching for dog walker or sitter!

Can’t talk highly enough about Amanda & her business. Not only is she phenomenal with our temperamental, reactive pitty but she is also reliable and communicative. She was happy to work with our family and come for visits a few times before we left her with our dog & when she watched our girl, she always provided us with an overview of her visit, photo updates, and cares to follow up even after we are home to make sure our dog adjusted. Amanda has given us such peace of mind when we are away, which used to never be the case.

My cat (Abby) is very attached to me after my other cat passed. I hadn’t left her alone for about 9 months because I was just super nervous about making her feel sad and lonely. Which means I haven’t been able to travel. But I finally decided to reach out to someone so I can establish care with a new sitter. I found Amanda very easily after a quick Google search and contacted her. She got in touch with me right away, which soon led to a meet and great. She was very nice and Abby took to her right away. She asked all the right questions, and answered all of my (neurotic lol) questions with patience and understanding. I got a good vibe from her so I booked a weekend to try it out. I had her stay the whole weekend with Abby, and she was definitely at my place most of the time. She let me know when she was going out and when she was returning. It really gave me peace of mind. She sent me lots of updates and welcomed me to reach out as much as I wanted because she understood how nervous I was being away from my cat. When I got home Abby was very chill and happy, and my apartment was how I left it. There was even a small thing with my terrible landlord and she handled it with complete professionalism and patience. I would definitely have her stay with Abby again, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

Amanda was a godsend when my dog sitter canceled their sit while i was out of town. She did great with communication, my pets and was just wonderful. Recommend.

Amanda is an incredible pet sitter! She is a former vet tech which helps me feel so much more comfortable leaving my older pets who need medications. She always gives regular updates with lots of pictures which is very comforting. So happy to have found her!

I recommend Amanda for any pet sitting needs. It’s clear that Amanda takes pride in her company and the services that she provides. She’s communicative and thorough. When I’m away from home I have complete trust that Amanda will care for my cat family. And they all seem to be as happy as can be when I return, all thanks to Amanda’s great care.

Amanda was great with my two cats. I was away for 9 days and had Amanda come over in the mornings to feed and give the cats some attention. Amanda gave me detailed updates and photos everyday about my cats' behavior and habits and really helped keep my mind at ease while I was away. From her updates I could tell that my cats loved having Amanda around! I came back to find my cats happy and ready to fall back in our normal routine. Amanda did a great job and I will definitely use her services again when I travel.

Amanda is great. We recommend her for your pet(s) and we already hired her for another sit! Amanda cared for our cat while we were away for a week. It was our first time leaving our cat, so we were nervous. Amanda set our minds at ease with daily communication that included updates, photos, and videos. I also felt reassured by Amanda's vet tech experience. She is very knowledgeable and I knew that if anything went wrong, our cat would be in capable hands with Amanda there!

Amanda is beyond wonderful! We have a very sweet and loving cat who adores me and my partner but is scared of anyone except us, so finding someone we trust to care for her can be a challenge. Amanda came over for a meet & greet and really took the time to listen about our cat and her responsibilities. She also asked terrific questions and thought of everything in the Google Form we completed before her visits. While we were away, Amanda communicated updates via text, including when she arrived, pictures, and details of everything she did during the visit. Despite our cat being very scared of other people, Amanda did a great job interacting with her, aware that she is very timid, all while completing her tasks. Her updates are extremely thorough, and she went above and beyond and put us at ease so we didn't have to worry about our little cat while we were out of town. She is definitely the best cat sitter we have ever had! She is diligent, compassionate, communicative, and really cares about animals. I would absolutely recommend her!

Our 7 month old lab puppy was in great hands with Caleb! He sent us a bunch of photos and kept us up to date on how she was doing. She had a blast! We highly recommend Caleb! Side note: Caleb might have a future as a dog photographer. See photo that he took that my wife and I now use as our phone background.

Caleb was recommended to us by our dear friends and we have never considered anyone else sitting our pupper (Shifu) ever since. Caleb is so great with dogs, takes such good care and loves them all so much. I would recommend Caleb to you if you’re looking to trust someone with your pup. Be rest assured that your pup will have the best time at Caleb’s and will even make lots of friends there.

Caleb is great! I was able to enjoy my vacation and know that my pets were in the best care possible! All the pics and videos were greatly appreciated!

I needed someone I could really trust to watch my dog Bowie. Caleb took such good care of him and sent me many pictures which put me at ease. I now wouldn’t trust Bowie with anyone else! I feel comfortable leaving the city knowing Bowie is in good hands and is having a fun time at Caleb’s. Highly recommend!!

We just moved to Philly and we are so lucky that we found Caleb! Not only he takes great care of our pup (Fuller), he also recommends us to so many great spots that we could take our pup. Fuller absolutely loves Caleb - you can tell by the intensity of the tail wag when he sees Caleb. This is a photo of Fuller taking a nap at Caleb’s place. We like that it was crate free so Fuller learned how to be in the house!

I highly recommend 215petcare for all of your dog walking and dog sitting needs! Caleb has been my reliable and wonderful dog walker for years. My 3 very active pitties absolutely love him! Things can be hectic with my work schedule, but I know I can depend on Caleb’s flexibility to make sure my dogs get a nice walk with playtime while I am gone. He has even been able to stop by on shorter notice when I am out longer than I expected to be. It’s reassuring to know you have a dog walker that truly cares for your pet as much as you do, which is completely true of Caleb. I love all of the nice photos he sends of my dogs from their walks too! I recommend him to everyone and will undoubtedly continue with him for the future!!

Caleb is super reliable and you can tell he loves the dogs he takes care of and they love him. We've used him for 3 years and our dog gets so excited when she sees him coming up the street. Offers walks and day care which is great since our schedule changes on a weekly basis. He is more organized than we are most of the time. Would highly recommend!

Can't say enough about Caleb and 215Petcare. I've have been using Caleb for all my pet walking/sitting needs for a number of years now. From the very first time I met Caleb it was evident how much he loved dogs and how passionate he was about providing nothing but the best care. I trust Caleb with the care of my two pups completely...he treats them like they are his own and even checks in on them during times we haven't seen him in a while. My pups absolutely love spending time with him and his dogs. His place is like a second home to them. Highly recommend Caleb to anyone, he truly has become a part of our family.

Caleb shows genuine affection for the dogs in his care. We recently left our two older dogs with Caleb for 10 days. He regularly sent updates and photos. I highly recommend Caleb and already have requested another 10 day stay in January.

Caleb is so good with my dog! He was very patient as she learned to trust him (she developed a bit of separation anxiety during the pandemic). She clearly adores him now. Caleb is also extremely organized and reliable: always confirms appointments, let’s me know his ETA to pick her up and drop her back, and is easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Sasha is an amazing kind and courteous caretaker who really goes above and beyond to understand and work with you and your pets individual needs. Also you can tell that she genuinely cares about your pet(s) as if they were her own. I cannot recommend Sasha and Cutie Paws enough!!

Sasha and team Cutie Paws did an incredible job taking care of my two chihuahua mixes. The expertise and attention to detail in maintaining our routine is seriously above and beyond any pet sitter service I’ve ever experienced. I rarely enjoy leaving my pups when I go away; but Sasha made sure to stay in communication and even sent amazing videos and photos of my pups every day giving me peace of mind. What a gift Cutie Paws. Highly recommend!

Sasha and the Cutie Paws team are amazing cat sitters to our bonded pair! They are conscientious and attentive to detail. Sasha knows our cats and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable while we are away. Plus, we get daily text, video, and photo updates, which gives us such peace of mind. We trust Sasha and highly recommend Cutie Paws!

Cutie Paws has been watching our cat almost once a month for about two years now. They are incredible and our cat loves them too. Incredibly responsive and trustworthy, and so easy to schedule with. They even gave our cat a toy to keep once because he liked it so much (it's now his favorite toy). The only reason I wouldn't leave a good review for them is out of fear that more people will book them and make it hard for us to book them! Absolutely get in touch with Cutie Paws for your petsitting needs. You'll be glad you did!

Sasha and the team are incredible with pets! We have worked with Cutie Paws for a few years and only have positive experiences. Everyone genuinely loves animals, are great with communication, and easy to schedule!

Sasha goes above and beyond, no matter what. Twice when she was caring for my cats while I was in California, there was an emergency which she handled quickly & graciously. She’s amazing, caring, patient and kind.

Sasha and her crew walked my dog for the first 9 months that I lived in Philly, and they were wonderful. Sasha is very organized and extremely reliable, and she made sure my dog got walks on every occasion. I also had a schedule changing week-to-week, and they were so flexible in accommodating my schedule. They frequently spent more time with my dog when she needed some extra coaxing to leave the house. It's clear that she cares deeply about the animals and her clients who she cares for. I hope they will continue to help out with my doggo when possible; the only reason I am no longer able to use their services is because I moved. I cannot say enough good things about her professionalism and care.

Sasha went above and beyond while looking after my cat over the holidays! I received comprehensive updates, plus lots of photos and videos. My cat has been shy with sitters in the past, but he took to Sasha right away and I always felt like he was in great hands. I can't recommend Cutie Paws enough if you want peace of mind when leaving your fur babies at home.

Sasha is an absolute gem. We are so lucky to have found. Her history intake is very detailed, very willing to work with our schedules for the initial meet and greet. She's very thorough with each visit, will readily send us text, video, and photo updates when she's with our cats. Communication is key, and I feel like we've never had any issues with that with Sasha. Highly recommend for taking care of your pets.

Sasha is a top-notch cat sitter! My kitties are wonderful and they also require some special care. Sasha not only met but exceeded my expectations when it came to caring for my furry babies. Sasha followed the plan we identified and even further, she took the time to get to know my kitties and built a relationship with them. As a result, I felt even more secure and calm when leaving my kitties in her care. Thank you, Sasha! -Pam J.

Doggie VIP is the best! We have been with Doggie VIP since our dog Teddy was a puppy. He is a big dog and now that the Riverwalk location is open he has so much room to run around and play!! We love the staff and how much they love Teddy!! We get the best pictures throughout the day. We appreciate them so much! Thank you for everything you do!

My dog seems to love her time at Doggie VIP! She looks comfortable and happy in every photo they send. They send many photos a day so you can keep up with your pup, and see that they’re doing well which is so appreciated. She also comes home smelling nice and clean from her exit bath.

My golden doodle has been going to Doggie VIP since he was 4 mos. I highly recommend Doggie VIP - the staff is amazing and take such good care of my pup. I never worry about him during the work day. They have a great play area & send the cutest updates of my pup throughout the day!

We love sending our Corgi to Doggie VIP at Riverwalk! She always comes home happy, tired, and ready for snuggles. My wife and I have work schedules that are constantly changing and revolve around our kids. The fact that Doggie VIP is so flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate makes this a must for dog owners! They take great care of her and are very attentive to her IBD restrictions. The photos they send us throughout the day show what a fun time our dog is having and that is what’s most important!

We love Doggie VIP (Riverwalk location). Our dog has a lot of separation anxiety, so It is always tough to find a place to leave him. At Doggie VIP, they made him feel comfortable from the start. We could tell they truly cared about him. They often send us pictures throughout his visit which reassures us that he is fine and enjoying himself! They update us when he’s received his meds/meals. We also use their grooming services and love how good he smells after. We even accidentally made a grooming appointment at the wrong location, and they still worked around their schedule to get him in the same day. The staff is wonderful, the building is nice/brand new, and their prices are very reasonable for the area.

Doggie VIP takes care of our dog like she is their own. They are so accommodating and flexible if ever we need to add a day morning of. I have young kids and they happily bring our dog to my car if needed. Highly recommend sending your dog to Doggie VIP!

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved dog, Daisy, to Doggie VIP, and I couldn't be happier with the care she received! From start to finish, this premier dog care facility exceeded my expectations in every way. The staff at Doggie VIP demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, warmth, and expertise. They truly understand the needs and preferences of every furry guest. Daisy was greeted with genuine affection and made to feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One aspect that impressed me the most was the daily photo updates I received. Each day, I eagerly checked my inbox to find the most adorable snapshots of Daisy enjoying her time at Doggie VIP. These pictures not only reassured me of her well-being but also allowed me to witness the joy and happiness she experienced during her stay. Moreover, the facilities at Doggie VIP are top-notch. Clean, spacious, and designed with dogs' comfort in mind, it's evident that every detail has been carefully considered. Daisy had access to a variety of stimulating activities, including play sessions and interactive toys, ensuring she remained engaged and entertained throughout her stay. The care provided by the Doggie VIP team extended beyond the physical. They also paid close attention to Daisy's dietary needs and administered any necessary medications with precision. It was evident that her health and well-being were their top priorities, and I felt confident that she was in capable hands. I cannot recommend Doggie VIP enough for anyone seeking exceptional care for their furry family members. Whether you need daycare or boarding services, this establishment goes above and beyond. The adorable daily photos were the cherry on top, allowing me to feel connected to Daisy even while we were apart. Thank you, Doggie VIP, for taking such incredible care of Daisy! You have earned my trust, and I will undoubtedly be returning for future pet care needs.

Our dog loves going to Doggie VIP at Riverwalk! She gets so excited when she sees we’re walking towards the front door. She comes home happy and tired from a great day at daycare. They’re flexible with scheduling, which is great for my husband and I’s different work schedules. The staff’s super friendly and always sends the cutest pictures to update my husband and I throughout the day. We absolutely love sending our dog to Doggie VIP!

I’m SO glad I found Doggie VIP. My dog has been in daycare for years, but after some bad experiences at his previous one we needed to find care fast. We reached out to Doggie VIP because we needed somewhere that grouped by size. I knew right away that this place was different when I learned their assessment before joining is 4 hours, not the standard 20 minutes. This is just one example of how well they know dogs because so many dogs, especially if they’ve had a bad experience, need more than 20 minutes to warm up to a new place. Obie has been there for a couple weeks now and we couldn’t be happier! The facility is big and the dogs have great toys to play with, they send pictures throughout the day, and most importantly my dog runs in tail wagging every morning. They’re also super easy to communicate with via text, just as an added bonus. Highly recommend!

5 stars across the board!!! Doggie VIP is THE best boarding & daycare in Philly!! We've been using them for almost two years now and we've never encountered any issues or concerns. Antoine the manager is AMAZING, professional and caring! Our dog LOVES coming here - it shows in all the pics they share with us while we are away!! Again, they are the best!!

My cats Benny & Flynn both have been getting treated at Heart + Paw -East Market since I adopted them a year ago. The staff at Heart + Paw are all very friendly and kind and communicative throughout their veterinary visits. I feel when they come here they are in good hands and never have to worry. They always answer all of my questions and I get a detailed outline after each visit sent to me. They are easy to get ahold of either by phone, text, or appointment making on their website. Super efficient. Their location is super close to my apartment which makes it easy to transport my cats to their appointments. The office is very nice & clean, and while the vet is not always either of my cat’s favorite place, the office does their best to help make Benny and Flynn feel safe and comfortable while they are there. I love how the moment we enter the office the front desk staff greet us with warm smiles and often I show the staff some cute pictures of the boys at home and reels I post on their instagram page. No matter what the circumstance of our visit is, there has never been a time at Heart + Paw that my experience was less than satisfactory. Their customer service and treatment is always above and beyond. <3

Always a traumatic experience for both the pet and the caretaker when going to the vet for any reason, but heart + paw does all they can to reduce the stress. Very caring professionals, on time, immediately let you in the exam room to wait as well. They are great! They also tell me how pretty Minerva is every time… that goes a long way in my book. 😊. Picture for evidence proving she is the prettiest angel cake ever made!

Alyssa was wonderful with Ziggy, who was anxious (and tiny). I returned to find him very handsome, deliciously fluffy and clean - and happy! Great experience for us both!

I've been taking my cats and dog to Heart + Paw East Market for over a year now and they are by far my favorite vet center. Dr Lynn is amazing with my babies and I trust her and her surgical skills very much. The nurses are kind and patient, and the care coordinators are so responsive and helpful. I also take my dog to their daycare facility and she loves it there. The staff makes sure she gets plenty of breaks and they send a bunch of pictures, which I so appreciate. Finally, I love having my dog groomed by Izaiah. He is absolutely fantastic. He listens to my requests and gives me great advice on care post-groom. 5/5 stars.

Heart & Paw has been my daycare/vet of choice for several years now and they have been nothing but stellar. Very friendly employees and you can tell they care about your furry friends. Daycare is awesome and they even send pictures and report cards.

I recently took my dog to this vet and had a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the vet was very knowledgeable and caring. They took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure my dog was comfortable throughout the visit. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional animal care provider.

First Play day experience for my dog Poppy today and I am very satisfied with their services and professionalism! They took really good care of my dog (from last year his first day with vaccines and preventative services to Play). This is the best vet in Center City and I will continue to use their services for my dog! I am excited to take him to Play again soon! Instagram @itspoppythepapillon

My puppy has been coming to Heart and Paw East Market since I got her. The space is always clean. The staff are super communicative about processes and cost up front and are always kind when speaking to them over the phone and in person. My puppy goes here for her vet and grooming and I would highly recommend both! We are also looking forward to trying the day care in the future as everyone in the neighborhood raves about it. Such a good location for people who live and work in Center City :)

I've had 2 appts here so far for my kitten Philomena. Scheduling was very easy & convenient, front desk staff is very sweet and friendly. They have made me feel that she's in good hands. I am newly acquainted with this office, but it's been all positive so far. Prices are reasonable enough.

Heart + Paws is the best vet I could have chosen for my kitten and I. They are always very accommodating and friendly to us. I have taken my kitten here for his vaccinations when he was months old and will continue to so until he grows old. Lots of love!

I was so impressed with Doggie VIP! My dog absolutely loves going to daycare there. They send daily pictures and are very easy to contact. They keep the place meticulously clean and really pay attention to dogs personalities and preferences. Highly recommend!

Doggie VIP is the best dog daycare I’ve ever used! They prioritize my dog’s well being and are always so accommodating to my schedule. Doggie VIP has allowed me to have so much less stress in my life knowing that Kevin is in good hands.

We love Doggie VIP! We did our research when moving to Philly and were lucky to land upon this daycare/boarding center. Our dog is a little anxious around new people and Antwon worked with us to ensure his comfort and safety for his stays! The staff is all wonderful. They always keep us updated with photos and texts throughout his stays. Facility is super clean and it’s special that they get to play outside. He never comes home stinky. Franklin loves it!!!

EDIT: (see below for full review) in the reply Doggie VIP states they simply offered to transfer my package. That is not the case as I did not even adopt my next dog for SIX months. My boyfriend reached out in numerous occasions after Lola’s death requesting a refund at the package had JUST been purchased. Each time he was given the run around and they were actually rude on the phone. As a LAST RESORT when I adopted my new dog I asked if I could use the package for her. Then I had the experience of them telling me oh it’s ok if she overheats we will call you. Despite that you say you take preventative measures that statement is NOT preventive and as such I lost all faith in your business. I HIGHLY recommend NOT taking your dog to this daycare. I started bringing my first dog, Lola, to Doggie VIP years ago due to her epilepsy—she needed extra attention, and leaving her alone all day while I was at work just wasn’t an option. She was usually kept inside, sitting behind the desk, and it was exactly what I wanted for her. I was truly grateful for how they took care of her then. Fast forward three years, and Lola passed away unexpectedly at just four years old due to complications from her epilepsy. I had just bought a $900 daycare package in the Fall of 2023, and unfortunately, we only used three days. When my boyfriend and I reached out for a refund for the unused days, we were denied—no compassion, no flexibility, just a flat-out “no.” I adopted a new dog this summer, who is brachycephalic and therefore super sensitive to the heat. Naturally, I was very careful about her needs. One day, I noticed she was spending a lot of time outside, so I requested that they keep her inside more often to avoid any risk of overheating. The front desk response? “Oh, it’s ok; if she overheats, we’ll call you so you can take her to the vet.” I was shocked—why would they even let her get to that point? At that moment, I decided my dog would not be returning to Doggie VIP. Their priority should be preventing harm, not reacting to it after the fact. It’s just irresponsible and unacceptable to let any dog get to the point of needing emergency care. I now have 20 remaining daycare days that I will never use, and despite repeated calls, they continue to refuse a refund. Between the lack of empathy and the concerning disregard for safety, I can no longer recommend Doggie VIP. It’s a shame, given the trust I once had in them.

I've been bringing my dog (1.5 years old) to Doggie VIP for many months now. At first, he seemed hesitant and sometimes resistant to walk through the Doggie VIP door, but I kept bringing him because all other evidence showed that he had a great time playing the entire day. Now, my dog pulls on leash so we can get to Doggie VIP faster. He always comes home exhausted after a long day of play and seems to sleep for the following 24 hours. The staff at Doggie VIP is great. They send photos throughout the day and are super responsive to texts. They also know your dog. I once brought my dog to the Riverwalk location, and the staff recognized him, welcoming us in saying "is that parktown Sunny!?" Doggie VIP will continue to be a regular for us - for both daycare and boarding. Highly recommend!

Our dog Mango loves Doggie VIP! When we say “We’re going to daycare” he perks up and walks us to straight to their front door, and he gets full body wags once inside. The folks at Doggie VIP do a great job of matching your needs - if you want many updates and photos/videos, they promptly and happily text you. The location has a video feed included with package purchases as well, and while the app is a bit buggy and sometimes kicks your email out, the staff always adds you back immediately upon text. Knowing that we can drop Mango off has made puppy adolescence so much easier! Highly recommend.

Our pup loves the place. The staff is very nice and friendly, and the facility is clean and charming. They have both outside and inside play area, and I think they let dogs out depending on the temperature and weather. They are very responsive with communications. I can book my pup's daycare with a text and they usually respond very quickly. They also offer grooming, which can be combined with dayc are, which is nice. In my previous review, I did not give 5 stars since I wish we get more feedbacks (report, more photos, etc) that many other places offer. There is no report as to how my pup did. On some days I get a few photos, on other days I rarely receive photos. I heard you can pay and have access to live videos, but I am too busy to check videos. But since my pup loves the place so much, and I have never encountered any trouble over the pat few months, I guess 5 stars is fair, although I wish I have more feed backs.

Doggie VIP is amazing. I've been bringing my dog here for almost a year now and we both love it. The staff is so friendly, knowledgeable and great at communicating. There are cameras both inside and outside in the yard area that you can check in on, which helped made me feel extremely comfortable in the beginning before building a relationship with everyone. At first I was skeptical of bringing my dog to daycare but my dog I don't think could be any more excited when we're walking or pulling up! Throughout the day I get texts of photos and sometimes videos of my dog which is also great. Communication is 100% and I've never waited on a response whenever I've had a question about something. Overall a great place to send your puppy and we appreciate how incredible everyone here is!

Doggie VIP is awesome! Been coming here on and off for years. Overnight stays, daycare and grooming my pup is always well taken care of. She absolutely loves it here (gets super excited when we arrive.) Know she's getting lots of play time too cause she's sleeping as soon as we get home. For overnight stays they send cute update pics too. Can't recommend this place enough!!

We love doggie VIP. It’s a trusted place for us to for boarding and as well as day care. He is well taken care of and trust him to be fed on time. Doggie VIP sends us regular picture updates, which is a nice add on. We couldn’t be happier.

Our 1.5 year old dog has been absolutely loving her time at Z Dog. She’s normally pretty timid, but not at Z Dog. She feels comfortable enough to play all day and is so excited to see the owners. We tried other daycares, but this one takes the cake.

We’ve had a great experience with zdog. Our pup Luna is anxious, and they make a special effort to keep her with smaller groups of dogs so she’s comfortable. Zdog is the only place where she gets along with other dogs, which is great to help her socialize. They’re also always very accommodating of last minute bookings!

I've been with Z Dog for years now and they are by far the best dog care place in South Philly. Owners are responsive to all questions/schedule changes and are available via email, phone, and text whenever I reach out. My dog Lola loves it there and gets a full day of playtime. Makes my life easier when I'm at work knowing she's in great hands. Highly recommend.

Z Dog is a life saver. Since I started daycare for my high energy puppy, she’s been so tired at the end of the day that there’s less chance for mischief at home 😝. She’s happy to go socialize with her friends as well as Natalie, Jose and the rest of the caring staff when I drop her off in the morning. And I get a great, big hug from her when I pick her up in the evening. Highly recommended.

After calling an exhaustive number of doggie day care centers. We found Z dogs for our Pearlie girl. She went for two visits to get acquainted before boarding and it was clear that the owner really cares about the dogs there. Pearl was very well taken care of when she was there, they communicated how she acted and we appreciated that. I want them to do well and I will definitely recommend them to any dog owners I know!

Our dog has been going to Z Dog for a few weeks now and we could not be more pleased with Natalie, Jose and the facility/location. We have put our giant pup in other day cares around the city but none of them compare. Mainly, we love that crate time is not forced upon them. There’s a very nice fenced in yard and the owners/staff post videos of the dogs playing together daily! What really made us feel most comfortable in choosing Z Dog was the tour we given during our orientation. My boyfriend and I are still having to go into work right now and Natalie and Jose have brought us great peace of mind knowing our dog is well taken care of. For that alone, we are forever grateful. I truly cannot recommend Z Dog enough!

Our dog absolutely loves Z Dog! They have a great outdoor space (rare for Philly) and the owners take great care of our pup. Highly recommended!

For approximately 9 months, Z dog has provided excellent pet care for my rescue dog, Fin. I work 16-18 hr days and they have picked up Fin from my home, watched him play and rest in their daycare, and then dropped him off. When I come home, he is content and seems to have had a fun day. I have appreciated their close communication and flexibility through schedule changes, and we will sorely miss them! I would recommend Zdog pet daycare to anyone in the city with a playful pup!

Whenever Rory is slow to get out in the morning, she immediately perks up once she realizes we’re going to ZDog! I’m glad to know she’s in such loving hands while I’m at work. It’s obvious that everyone there loves dogs and treats the dogs that come like their own. I highly recommend ZDog Daycare.

I have used Z Dog Walkers since I moved here 2 years ago. I have consistently used them for walks, doggy day care and boarding. They are top notch in terms of kindness, dependability and flexibility. I have been in desperate situations when they were there to save me (and my dog Maggie:) and have enjoyed numerous vacations knowing Maggie was in the best hands with Natalie and Jose. I would highly recommend them if you desire the best care for your dog!

Club Fetch is by far the best doggie daycare in Philadelphia!!! Our dog absolutely loves it and we love getting the reviews and seeing how he's doing throughout the day. The entire staff is so helpful and accommodating, and it is so evident how much they love the dogs and how much individualized attention they give them!! With busy schedules, it has really been a lifesaver! It was evident from our first meet and greet how clean they keep the facilities and with how often they walk the dogs, our dog never comes home disgusting. For our dog, the number of dogs they allow is perfect so he is active but not completely overwhelmed. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants their dog to receive the best care while they're at work!

I would give Club Fetch more than 5 stars if it let me! The absolute kindest, most caring people take such good care of my pup. They are detail-oriented and give regular updates with the best pictures of your pup's day! I could go on and on about how great they are and would highly recommend you take your dog here to play!

Club Fetch is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Having a greyhound I tend to worry about her breed peculiarities. The staff there is attentive and knowledgeable. My greyhound has gone to other daycares and never really liked it. Due to new job I decided to give daycare one last try instead of a dog walker once a day. I found Club Fetch and my dog and I are IN LOVE! She loves it, and it’s quite obvious. She does her excited dance when we get to the door of the facility and can‘t seem to get in the door fast enough (to give you an idea of how huge that is, the first consult and then the first day I had to practically carry her inside). The pupdates they give throughout the day show truly how much fun she is having. They will send photos and little blurbs about the day. Including issues such as the smallest cut from playing, which just shows how attentive they are to each dog. They are also wonderful at knowing when she might just need some human attention and quiet time. She comes home happy and exhausted. I am so grateful for Club Fetch and every staff member that works there.

My pup and I are loving Club Fetch after our first three visits! Any time we walk nearby he gets so excited, pulling us toward the door. The staff is incredibly detail-oriented and kind. Their regular updates are thorough and honestly just very fun to receive. When there is a problem, they give me all the information about what’s going on and what they’re doing to resolve it (usually separating my pup for some quiet time, for instance). I was complaining about an frustrating human doctor’s office the other day and said to someone that I wish they just operated/acted like Club Fetch does.

Club Fetch is AMAZING! I can't say enough great things about this place. I love it and so does my fur baby. We are so lucky to have found it. Nicole and Griffen, and all of the staff are very friendly and kind. You can tell they genuinely care SO much about your pup!! We get updates along with photos constantly throughout the day, which definitely make us smile. They truly get to know your individual dogs personality and character and offer much more personal attention than other doggy day cares we have tried previously. Our pup comes back home happy, tired, clean, and healthy.

My pup and I love Club Fetch! There are so many great things about CF that you don't get with many other doggie daycares (especially larger ones). The number of dogs each day is small, creating an environment that is fun and not overwhelming, and allowing staff to give everyone attention they need. Every dog goes on multiple walks a day, and going potty inside is not encouraged like most other doggie daycares-- so potty training doesn't go out the window! The staff send out "pupdates" every few hours directly to an app on your phone letting you know how your dog is doing (including pictures!) Gives you total peace of mind. You can also contact them through the app with any questions or issues, and they always respond super quickly. The team also really makes an effort to get to know you and your dog. There's definitely a family feel! My pup is always sooo happy/excited when she arrives-- it's the cutest thing. I know she's well taken care of there. Club Fetch is the best!

The staff members do a great job of interacting with my dog. She comes home happy each visit and cannot wait to return. I am so happy they walk the dogs multiple times each day and love the reports cards throughout the day.

My dog loves it here!! Multiple walks a day to allow for realistic bathroom breaks as the dogs run around. Personalized daily updates! Conveniently across the street from a dog store for grooming and food needs. Great spot!

Nicole and most of the staff were super nice and the updates throughout the day were great! However, would not reccommend for those with pups that are still having accidents or are more timid/scared to go on walks!

Nicole and her team are the best out there when it comes to loving pups! Responsible and dedicated staff who really love your dog 💓. …

I am so so so happy I found Central Bark to send my pup to for daycare!!! They are so wonderful and thoughtful about how they structure daycare for your dogs, and are super attentive to your own dog’s needs. My dog is anxious at baseline so it was really important for me to find a daycare that uses a fear-free approach, which is surprisingly hard. Central Bark was the first daycare I came across that is able to say they only use fear-free methods to handle or redirect their pups. They also send report cards and post so many cute photos on Facebook! I love them so much and would recommend them to anyone looking for either daycare or boarding services!

I truly do not have enough words for how wonderful Central Bark is!! From the facility and enrichment programs to the lovely staff and owner, I always felt like my dog was taken care of! This facility is the best in the city hands down. They truly care so much and my dog always leaves happy (and tired!!)

My dog loves coming here! Convenient location and hours. Patient and animal loving staff that are well trained! My dog is more relaxed and calm now when he’s home.

I need a daycare option for my girls while we were visiting from out of town. The team at Central Bark Philly went above and beyond to accommodate us and make them feel so welcome. They knew who we were at arrival and always greeted my girls. Being able to pick them up with huge smiles on their faces (and take them home for lots of sleepy, quiet time) made our trip so much more enjoyable! Thank you so much to the whole team! You all share a passion for dogs and it shows.

From drop off to pick up we felt so welcome. The grooming was great and the staff was wonderful! The location is perfect. I'm not taking my fur babies any place else. Thank you from Bianca and Benji. See ya soon.

I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional experience I've had at Central Bark doggie day care. From the moment I started bringing my mini schnauzer Rico at just 3 months old, they have been instrumental in his upbringing and development. Their comprehensive range of services, including daycare, overnight stays, training, and grooming, has been outstanding. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring, and Rico is always thrilled to see them. Central Bark's consistent communication, including report cards, videos, pictures, and training updates, keeps me informed and involved in Rico's progress. With their help, Rico has become a well-behaved and well-socialized dog, making our time together even more enjoyable. I am incredibly grateful for their flexibility, always accommodating him even for my last minute work travel, and the peace of mind they provide. I wholeheartedly recommend Central Bark to any dog owner looking for top-notch care and a truly exceptional experience Rico says “Gracias Amigos”

We have a pup who struggles w/ anxiety and Central Bark and their team take such good care of our pup Penny. When we pick her up she bolts right out of the door but THEN goes right back to her handlers and loves on them. It's proof to me that my dog feels cared for there and that makes me feel cared for. I can't recommend them enough!

Our dog Scout just had his first time at Central Bark and had a blast. He came back tired but happy. I'm worried he's going to want to go every day. Would love to have the option to take a quick tour behind the scenes and see where my pup is hanging out.

Diva has been going to Central Bark for ten years now. It is her home away from home. The girls there are family! Always pleasant, always professional and always ready to give my girl the best day ever. They treat every dog like their own and every time Diva comes home she’s completely zonked from playing all day. All I have to say is “do you wanna go to school and see your friends” and the tail goes a mile a minute. Her reaction to going to school makes me know she’s in the right place. I’d never send her anywhere else !!! Central Bark is the absolute best !!!

I am so grateful for Central Bark. I rescued Allen Iverson, a pittie mix puppy, who is so high energy about 4 months ago. Allen is also fairly skittish from being abused. The staff at central bark is so great with him, special shout out to Brittany and Kristy but all of them are wonderful. Allen loves going there and having him there a couple times a week gives me my sanity as he requires a lot of attention and exercise . Allen comes home tired and happy every time he goes. Allen has also come a long way in 4 months and I attribute a great deal of that to CB!

Waggy Weddings service by Waggy Little Rascals made having our dog part of our day not only possible but effortless. Oriana was kind, very responsive and even customized a pricing-package for our specific needs. Maddy (our dog's date/walker) was incredible and gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in safe hands after his participation in our wedding. During the Meet and Greet, Maddy and our dog became immediate besties and on day-of Maddy collaborated with our wedding planner to communicate status updates to make sure we were focused on our celebration and not worrying about him. Our dog stole the show at our ceremony and Maddy even assisted our photographer to get great photos of our boy on our big day. After our ceremony, Maddy transported our dog back to our hotel and tucked him in for the night. If you're getting married in the Philly area and have a four-legged family member, contact Waggy Little Rascals to help make your special day perfect!

Waggy little rascals has been amazing dog walking (and sitting) service for us. They are always super reliable, responsive, and really make us feel comfortable that our dog is in good hands. They are very communicative during the booking process and always try to fit our schedule, even when things pop up last minute. We have used a number of dog walking services between NYC and Philly over the past 7 years and Waggy little rascals is really one of the best we’ve ever had!

I'm writing this review after having Waggy Little Rascals walk our dogs for ten months, several times per week. We have two five year old dogs who need walking while my husband and I are at work. The Waggy Little Rascals team has been excellent with them. They love our dogs with care, send us great photos and detailed reports, and give our dogs the special care they need if something is wrong (such as one time our dog had a suspicious bowel movement and they sent a photo so we could show the vet, or taking the dogs to a safer spot when an unleashed dog was nearby). This gives us peace of mind as our dogs love squirrels, birds, and can require full attention when walking. Logistically, it's so easy to schedule the walks in the app, and the owner Angela has been so understanding if we've had unexpected changes to our schedule. When they train new walkers, they always do a walk with another walker who knows our dogs and home already, which has led to seamless transitions. I am so grateful to have found this company. We were worried about returning to an in-office work schedule following the pandemic, but having Waggy Little Rascals made it an easy transition and we are still with them almost a year later!

We've been using Waggy Little Rascals to walk our dog for over a year now and can't say enough good things about them. Great people who care about the best interest of your pets. Will give them the love and attention they deserve. Professional, Quick to respond and very accommodating.

I cannot, ever, express how much i love WLR. I tell them all the time. My dogs are my babies and they can be kind of quirky and everyone at WLR who has worked with them has been amazing! Kind, flexible, reliable. I truly couldn’t live without them. And my girls LOVE them! One bajillion/10 couldn’t love them more!

Waggy Little Rascals continually goes above and beyond for my dog. They’ve been incredibly helpful during my first year of pet ownership. Before they started walking her, they came to my apartment for a meet and greet, and could not have been more skilled and professional while handling my initially shy and reactive pup. I appreciate that they took the time to get to know her before committing to working with her. After each walk, they give detailed reports (with photos!), which are reassuring. She has really blossomed socially, which is in no small part thanks to Waggy. When they opened the daycare, I jumped at the chance to sign her up. Again, before she joined the daycare roster, she spent some time trying it out so they could determine if she would be a good fit. She absolutely loves spending the day there and comes home happy and tired. Waggy has been wonderful every step of the way—through schedule changes, harness trial/error, and health issues. I am sure they’ll extend the same kindness and excellence to your pet!

We used the Waggy Weddings service for our November wedding, and it was the best decision. They picked up our dog Penny from our dog sitter, brought her to the wedding in an adorable dress they provided, and handled her like a pro. Angela and Oriana were responsive during the planning process and arrived on time. After the ceremony and a few pictures, Penny went back to the sitters. It took all the stress out of this important part of our wedding, and it wouldn't have been the same without her! She stole the show!

We have had and continue to have a great experience with WGL. Our dog Cora loves her walks with them, and we really appreciate the walk report and pictures. It helps put us at ease to know she is in good hands while we are gone. They are very professional and clearly care about the well being of their clients and their employees. We also really appreciate their flexibility and ability to accommodate walks outside of our usual schedule. Highly recommend them!

Best dog walkers and sitters in the world. They've gone the extra mile, including caring so well for our dog when she was sick and beginning to decline. They even manage to handle our ornery cat. They are kind people, great with pets, and provide great service. I recommend Waggy Little Rascals extremely highly!

I have been nothing but impressed since using this dog walking service. The 2 walkers I have had (Maddy & Alyssa) are extremely friendly, attentive and communitive. I always feel like my dog is in great hands when using these walkers during long work days. Definitely would recommend for anyone in need of walking service in the Philly area.

Wag Days is amazing! My dog attended the 3-week puppy preschool and learned so much during his time there. The staff at Wag Days sent updates on his progress and tips on how we can practice at home. They truly care about all the pups that come through. We also love visiting for regular day care now that he has graduated. Couldn’t recommend way days enough!

Our dog started at Wag when she was about 5 months. It's been almost a year now and she can't get out the door fast enough to get to school. Nora and the staff really love the dogs as their own. I love watching the stories and seeing Holly playing with her friends throughout the day. Thank you so much for all the fun safe space you provide the dogs.

We started bringing our puppy to Wag Days last fall to help with her socialization (and get out some of her puppy energy!) and we couldn't be happier with the care she continues to receive. She has so much fun "going to see her friends" and does her excited dog dance when we get within a block of Wag. We love that she gets a mix of indoor and outdoor exercise, has access to enrichment through our membership, and is friendly with all dogs she comes across through the great socialization she gets at Wag. We've also used the home-based boarding and loved that she got to hangout with people she knew from going to Wag while we were away. I also appreciate getting photos of her during the day and being able to check what she and her friends are up to on the Wag Days instagram account. Can't recommend this place enough and feel lucky that it's located in South Philly!

We are a big fans of Wag Days! Our pup Olive is about 10 months now. We originally started with another puppy kindergarten class, and the trainers expressed their concerns with our pups play style -- they weren't sure if she would be a good fit for day care or the dog park. As experienced dog parents, this was really upsetting for us to hear, especially with such a young dog. We were determined to make sure she was properly socialized. My husband had won a free day at Wag in a raffle, and initially I was hesitant to redeem the offer because of the feedback we had. We reached out to Wag Days, explained everything, and they basically said, "We got you. Bring her down, lets have an eval and go from there". Long story short -- Olive crushed her puppy school training with them, has the best time ever at day care when she goes, plays well in the dog park, and has really great leash skills (with lots of treats, she is still a puppy after all). We have had such a great experience with Wag Days, and are really grateful for their help with our pup.

Our dog, Mo, absolutely loves going to Wag Days for daycare! She is basically dragging us to the door to go see her friends and comes home happy and tired from playing! We feel really comforted knowing that they love and care for our dog as much as we would! One of the best decisions we’ve ever made!

Wag Days is excellent for dog boarding and day care! I’ve been taking my dog for 3 years! My dog Biscuit LOVES playing (and getting attention), and they do an excellent job! I love that they give you tons of updates via Instagram and their portal about your dog at day care. I love seeing the enrichment activities they do - you can tell they really care about the dogs at day care! I cannot recommend them enough!

I only trust my pupper with Wag Days! In-home boarding that makes my doggo feel right at home, complete with photo updates while I'm away and lots of love and social time that leaves her completely exhausted when she gets home. Great daycare and dog walking services, too. Quick and flexible scheduling, professional and prompt communication. Highly, highly recommend! My pup LOVES her time with Wag Days, and I do too!

We (and our dog Bogey) are obsessed with Wag Days. They constantly send us pictures via email and also update their Instagram story throughout the day which is really great! Nora the owner is always very responsive if we have questions or concerns. We have also used Wag Days for boarding a couple of times and Bogey always returns happy and exhausted.

Our puppy Cooper did so well with Wag Days. Colby is an awesome trainer and I love all of the videos and pics they take of him during the day. Our pup picked up a tremendous amount of skills while refining some of what he already had in place. Can’t recommend Wag Days enough!

I literally cannot say enough about how wonderful Wag Days is. We have been taking our dog Charlie there for almost two years now & we have never had anything short of an amazing experience. Our pup sprints to daycare when we tell him that’s where he’s going & we feel so at ease knowing he’s happy there and having fun. The staff is amazing & gives frequent updates via pictures throughout the day. Your dog will come home tired & happy!
