He then told me, "your child doesn't matter to me" and continued cursing while it looked like he was breaking into the building. I wouldn't take my dog here. Will avoid walking by it too as the employees seem manic at best.

For the mere price of $30 (less if you buy a pack of passes), your pooch will get a full day of daycare (as long as 7 am-7 pm during the week) including a personal walk at lunch and a REPORT CARD telling you who he played with and how he did during the day, it's so awesome! They also have a webcam, which generally runs, but not always, and they make some nice posts to facebook and instagram, but the report card is my favorite thing. If you are enrolled in daycare, they also offer boarding, and are generally pretty flexible and accommodating, though space is definitely limited. I highly recommend Ruff Life. I know that dog school has like 5 locations and makes a nice instagram feed, but the friendliness and flexibility of the ruff life staff really sets them apart. They always recognize me (and splinter) and dropping off and picking up is so seamless.

With some guidance, we picked out a Kong branded toy. The price was fair and checkout was fast and easy. Overall, we had a good experience and would not hesitate to go back.

They were super helpful as I looked for good de-fur options and I love how the staff give my pooch all the love and pets. They have now partneed with ACCT to showcase adoptable dogs!

I took my husky Sofia for a grooming. Bring me to Philly, I found this place on Yelp with great reviews. They did not disappoint! I've taken Sofia to many groomers over the years and this was the first time that didn't have lose hair while leaving the place. That alone gives them a 5 star rating. They provide other services as well, I opted to get her nails painted because, well, she's almost a real girl. Plus, after grooming and manicure, she walks with her head high and a pep in her step! I would recommend Spots Spot for anyone with pups that shed throughout the year. Make them your one and only stop for pampering your pooch!

While there your cat was on the counter being groomed and I turned around to let my pup out of his crate in the main room and heard the groomer yell "STOP IT" followed by a loud slamming sound.. I jumped up and turned around and the cat looked terrified.. the groomer nervously started telling me "I've been fighting with this cat all day" along with some other nervous remarks... I'm not sure if he slammed your cat down on the table but to me that's what it sounded and looked like... I would never want to bash a business without fully knowing, so it is up to your own discretion.... Please if you bring your pet there be extra cautious , I for one will never be bringing my pup there again.

To fellow dog parents, I cannot thank this place enough for the care they provided my Great Dane, Mattis, over the past 3 years. Their employees have always been kind and truly enjoy spending time with the dogs. There was always a warm welcome, "Mattis! Hey buddy" before we had even checked in -my dog LOVED going here. The general manager, Antoine, is seriously the nicest and most thoughtful person. Anytime a dog got sick, he'd let us know when and what symptoms to be on the lookout for in our own dog. Mattis would break a nail, Antoine would call me to let me know and what he was doing about it, and then I'd pick Matt up at the end of the day with a bandage carefully wrapped on his foot. He knows each and every dogs' personality, who to separate, who plays well together, when certain dogs need a break inside etc. Antoine, your care, hard work and attention to detail made us immensely comfortable leaving Mattis during the workday, I am so grateful! The owners are friendly and heavily involved, it's common to see them at pickup/throughout the week. My work schedule could be hectic, a few times Matt was the last to be picked up and they were always gracious about it. There's nanny cams of the dogs every day. And my most FAVORITE part, we would get multiple texts/photos of our guy every time he stayed with them. Mattis would get so excited at morning drop off and come home exhausted from a fun day playing with his doggy companions Living in a city apartment and having a fully in-person job can make dog ownership difficult at times, I'm thankful Mattis had a wonderful place to stay and play during working hours. Forever grateful for you all!

I am super grateful to the staff here for taking such good care of my sweet but somewhat anti social dog while I am away, and for always being so communicative about how she is doing and any small issues that arise during her stay. The space is clean, they are strict about capacity, and they do a thorough socialization check prior to allowing dogs to come for boarding or daycare. This past weekend, I had an issue arise where my sitter had to leave town unexpectedly. DoggieVIP absolutely saved the day by allowing my dog to come stay for the weekend on late notice. They answered my panicked texts and calls immediately and took such great care of Fred while I was away. This spot is great about sending photo updates and all reservations can be made via text message, which makes scheduling a breeze. I will continue to use this location and their Riverwalk location anytime I travel. So grateful and can't recommend them enough!

Brittany, who groomed her, did a fantastic job - cleaned her up without robbing her of her cuteness.

Everyone at this place was friendly, welcoming, and clearly loves pets. Super glad we found them - we'll 100% be bringing Moxxie back. Oh - and if it matters to you, I believe this is a black-owned business (an extra bonus in my book.)

It gives me such peace of mind to know my babies are in such loving hands. It's rare to find a place where the care and passion for animals is so evident. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for a groomer who goes above and beyond for both pets and their people!

I feel like I'm always learning something new every time I go in there and it's Yoshas favorite store, so, highly recommend. OH. They also have these really great Icelandic treats for your pup- amazing. A little smelly (I avoid carrying those around in my pocket) but jammed with nutrients and my guy loves them. Highly recommend BoneJour. They are also the only place nearby that carries Farmina, so, shop local, everyone!!!
