    Luna exhausted after play time

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I've been taking my husky there for almost a year now and they're just amazing. Affordable grooming, which is a must in Philly. I've tried all different grooming places before coming here and NO ONE beats their price for baths. And your dog will always come back dry!! My dog loves coming here for boarding and day care. You can watch your fur baby on their cameras during the day, and all the other cute doggies. You can definitely tell just how much everyone loves working there and playing with/taking care of your babies. So sad to hear they got flooding damage:( We'll be back there as soon as they open again sometime in October!

    We LOVE Doggie VIP! Nash has been going to Doggie VIP for almost one year and we couldn't be happier. The staff is super sweet and communicative--they text photos so I always know he's happy and cared for. Scheduling is super easy. Nash literally jumps up and runs to the door when I say we are going to "school," and he's content and exhausted for the entire next day. Thank you so much, Doggie VIP!!!

    Doggie VIP had to close for awhile b/c they were victims of the flooding last Fall and I really missed them, so glad they are back. I only send my dog a couple times a month b/c I WFH, but but it's so helpful, especially when I have an important meeting. I feel like paying for one day of daycare gets me two days of peace b/c my rambunctious dog is so tired the next day! I've used a few different daycares in Philly, all have been pretty good but Doggie VIP is the best for the following reasons: 1. The OUTSIDE space is awesome. My dog LOVES going outside. I live in a high rise and while we go on walks, I love that he gets a chance to run around unencumbered yet safely. It's one of very few day cares that offer this and the only one in center city area. 2. Web cam/photos. If you're a helicopter dog parent, never fear. Almost every time we go, I get a photo or two. It's fun checking the web cams. It's not necessary but it makes me happy. 3. I think his name is Darren - he is the best groomer. My dog won't let anyone else cut his nails. I love that I can schedule a bath for my dog while he's a daycare and pick him up all clean. 4. Great communication, easy to text or email to make reservations. 5. Reasonable prices, especially if you get a package. 6. They have fun free events like pictures with Santa. Honestly there were a few points during the pandemic it was my only social interaction, so I appreciated it! My only tiny concern is that there's nobody onsite overnight when you board. But I know that helps keep the prices lower and that is the case at most places.

    Are you looking for a place you can trust with your lovely pets? Look no more! Moving to a new state and a new city can be difficult. Thankfully, I found a place for my dogs at Doggie VIP. The staff has been phenomenal from the beginning. During my dog's first day intake, they carefully introduced them to the other dogs, and after a few hours of daycare, they've fallen in love with the place. I love that the team rotates the dogs to play outside and inside. While outside, the counselor monitors the dog and often plays ball toss with the dogs. The Doggie VIP team has been highly attentive with the dogs and so hospitable. I genuinely appreciate the Doggie VIP team for notifying me via text to let me know how the dogs are doing and keep me updated. I'm thankful for this place, and every time I pick up my dogs, they are delighted. The staff treats my dogs and all the dogs with so much love and attention, and I am glad to have found this place. Thank you so much, Doggie VIP team, for taking excellent care of Charlie and Daisy.

    Osito is often a shy and anxious dog, but it all goes away when he's at Doggie VIP! The staff feels like family and we love knowing that Osito is having the time of his life when he's at daycare. They're so flexible and responsive over text and also send you at least one photo a day of your pup!

    My happy little hotdog, super excited to be at DoggieVIP.

    There's only one downside to DoggieVIP, and that's the moment my pup realizes where we're going and tries to drag me to their door. While I don't enjoy being dragged around by a very stubby, excited hotdog, I do enjoy picking up a tired, happy pup at the end of the day. So that moment of uncontrolled excitement Nox gets in the mornings is worth it, I suppose ;) He loves it here and the staff is so wonderful. They treat the pooches in their care like rockstars and Nox is always happy (and exhausted, thank god) when I pick him up. They even sent him home with a goodie bag for Valentine's Day, which was adorable and really thoughtful. I'm so glad I found DoggieVIP and that Nox will have a place he likes as he grows up. See the picture for proof of how excited Nox gets. There's no stopping it. Just look at that face.

    We heard about Doggie VIP from a neighbor and have been so happy with our experience! Our pup is 6months old and has lots of energy, so having him at VIP has been a great help to us but he also loves it! Every day he is excited when we drop him off and the entire staff at VIP has been incredibly friendly and professional! I couldn't recommend Doggie VIP more!

    We have so many wonderful feelings about this place. I should also start by stating that we have to move within the city and are basing our move on proximity to Doggie VIP... Our dog, Thor, has been coming here since we adopted him a few months ago. He LOVES it. It is the only daycare in the city we could find that has a gated, turf, outdoor space. They bring the dogs out multiple times a day which is HUGE for those working on housebreaking. The dogs are split up by size and are kept in smaller areas, which makes the space feel more comfortable and less overwhelming for the furry friends. They have webcams on each room and the outside space so you can always see what your dog is up to. The. Staff. Are. The. Best. They are attentive and text you pictures of your dog. They also took time to teach Thor tricks on a quieter day. They are so responsive on their cell phone and are always accommodating to last minute changes. If you get the monthly package, the cost works out to about $24 a day. Again, the best we've found in the city. I could go on... but my thumbs are tired. We constantly suggest Doggie VIP to friends and figured we should suggest to you all :)

    My dog is laying gray and white

    I've never left a review before but I am so disgusted I have to. First off, my dog use to come here and loved it, all of the people that worked there loved him. Victoria was great. They had to close due to Ben Franklin Pwky flooding for months. They've reopened and it's all new people. Not sure if under new management. But we boarded our dog there to go on vacation. First time back since they've reopened. There is an older gentleman that stays outside with them during doggy daycare. I first noticed him going after my dog. I kept watching on their camera and saw him actually KICK my dog twice! Every time my dog would start playing with another dog he would rush over and kick him away!! My dog is a sweet loving dog. Only a year and a half. He is an AmStaff. Anyone with any experience or knowledge with bully breeds know that sometimes they like to play on their back hind legs. Almost looks like they are wrestling. This is just the way they play! It's not aggressive. This guy would kick my dog whenever my dog would play this way. I saw him do it several times with other dogs. As I'm about to call them I get a text saying that my dog is having anxiety and very anxious and I need to pick him up. I called and told them I saw him kick my dog multiple times. The girl replied "he was trying to fight another dog." That is complete BS. I was watching the entire time. He was PLAYING!! Since we're on vacation, We had him picked up by family. He's pretty traumatized. I've asked 3 times for the guy's name and I haven't had a reply yet. I also just realized they've disabled my access to the cameras now!! Super shady. My dog goes to doggy daycare at Barkadelphia, Heart and Paw and Houndstown and he's never had a problem and the people always say how good he is. This place is terrible now and the guy working outside should not be around dogs. He's obviously not trained to be around all breeds of dogs. Pictures attached screenshots of my dog while there to show he's not aggressive. The last picture is of my dog at Heart and Paw with his little buddy (again, not aggressive)

    It's a wonderful place. They treat our dog like a part of the family, and she always comes home happy and sleepy.

Lucy isn't just a "quick walk" dog -- she has her quirks and routines -- and the team consistently showed patience, attentiveness, and real affection for her. Whether it was regular weekday walks or coverage when my schedule was unpredictable, I always knew she was in capable, caring hands. I recently moved across town and unfortunately won't be able to rely on them anymore. If you're in the Fairmount/Brewerytown area and looking for trustworthy, experienced, and kind pet care -- this is your team. Grateful for all the years of care. Lucy and I will miss you!

    It's been awhile since my initial pre-pandemic review so I wanted to update it to spread the word…read moreon how amazing The Pet Nanny is. We are so grateful that we can rely on them for our 2 previous cats. We have specific feeding instructions for them and I appreciate that everyone follows as requested. Importantly, they also try to engage with the cats (who are usually pretty scared) and treat them with love and care (and leave them treats). They also take pictures so we know they are being cared for. We know our cats don't like it when we're gone but we're glad we can rely on The Pet Nanny. I strongly recommend them their pet services.
