    Wonderful people who truly love dogs! Our dog has been here for daycare as well as boarding, and he loves it. Seems like a great group of dogs, plus both indoor and outdoor spaces to play. They also post great photos on social media. We love PitStop!

    The Pit Stop is great for daycare and boarding! My dog, Nemo, loves going and he is visibly excited when I leave him. Prior to coming to Pit Stop HQ, Nemo used to jump over gates, even 5ft ones at his previous daycare in Massachusetts. Pit Stop HQ staff have continuously worked with him to help me train him to control his jumping. They have also shown me techniques I can try in my own home to continue the training outside of the two-three times a week he visits Pit Stop HQ. At the beginning of the fall, they even took Back to School photos of all the pets and shared them on social media!

    This is how a reputable groomer handles with care...James did a terrible job. (See other photo)

    Over a month since my review and the owner is still harassing me. Some screen shots of his many responses below.

    My Pupper's home away from home :) Pit Stop HQ is my go to spot for most of my dog's needs. On days that I work long shifts this business provides a safe and loving environment for my dog to play and socialize with other dogs. About a year ago my dog had randomly had a seizure and i had to work the next day. I was terrified at the idea of not being with him the next day. But i dropped him off at Pit Stop and made the staff aware of what had happened. The staff made me feel so comfortable with him being in their care and kept me updated on him whenever i called to check in. I feel really lucky to have found a safe and caring place to help me with my pet :)

    We love sending Cookie to Pit Stop! As soon as we turn onto Christian Street she starts hopping around in the backseat of the car and squealing to let us know how excited she is. She has been coming to Pit Stop for over two years not only to play for the day but also for overnights. They have crate fee stays which you cannot find anyone else offering. Thank you Sheehan and the staff of Pit Stop!

    When can I go to daycare? -Buffy

    Pit Stop is amazing! We have a 1.5 year old Newfoundland-Poodle mix and she LOVES it! Buffy has been going there for about 8 months now and honestly whenever we say the WORD daycare she freaks out with happiness and sprints to the door (not joking)! They take care of Buffy as if she were their own and we appreciate it more than they know. We would HIGHLY recommend Pit Stop if you're looking for a wonderful place to take your dog during work or even on the weekends. THANK YOU from Buffy, Katie and Ryan!

    Pit Stop HQ is our go-to daycare! They are so accommodating, were excellent with my shy 6 year old Pit Bull and also gave tons of love to my newly adopted 4 month old Cane Corso/Pittie mix girl. You can't beat their rates, they have flexible drop off and pick up, and are basically available around the clock with sleepovers! They sent me pictures of my puppy in action and napping with her new friends. I can't say enough good things about them. So happy to have them in the neighborhood. The pups LOVE them, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Pit Stop HQ!

    After his first day, Sir Frankie was exhausted and we knew it was the perfect spot!

    See all

    You are crazy if you think I'm bringing my dog here multiple times before I board him when I said I'm coming from out of town.

They walked and cared for my…read moredog Lucy for years while we lived in Fairmount/Brewerytown, and their reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for the dogs always gave me total peace of mind. 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!

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.

    Rittenhound has solved all of our problems with finding decent pet care in Philadelphia. We have…read moretried many independent dog walkers that were not reliable as well as many companies that did not prove to live up to our expectations. Rittenhound is not only have a great dog walking/pet sitting business but they have one of the best businesses in the city, period. The owners are down to earth, responsible, organized people who take the time to treat each client and dog with individualized care. They assigned us a walker, Noah, who handles our two dogs with ease. He arrives on time, spends a 30 minute walk briskly walking the city and then takes the time to return to our house and spend another 10-15 minutes playing with the dogs. We pay for a 30 minute walk but our dogs get 45+ minutes of attention, easily. The company sends invoices via paypal which is a great and easy paperless option and they communicate (via e-mail) on a weekly basis about schedules. The walkers also leave detailed report cards after each walk that prove to be very informative and helpful. Overall, Rittenhound may have a high(er) price tag than the competitors but they are worth every penny.

    Rittenhound is the best! Thanks so much to Lea and Evan for taking such amazing care of our babies…read morewhile we were away! Not only did they leave us a detailed and adorable report card, but sent us picture text messages everyday so we could see how happy the boys were at the dog park and at home! They've never been left home alone for that long before, and I was nervous at first. But the messages and updates were greatly appreciated and comforting. We came home to two very tired and content dogs. Reliable, affordable, and extremely friendly. We will definitely be referring Rittenhound to all of our doggie friends! Thanks again.

Mind you, he's still under a year old and a high energy dog, so of course he's going to be energetic? He also loves other dogs, so getting him to settle down while being surrounded by 10+ other dogs is going to be hard and isn't the whole point of daycare to give them exercise and socialization. They told us to work on settling at home, but I guess they must not have puppies often because first off, he settles just fine on his own when there's no other dogs to distract him, and second, he's a puppy! It just felt very unprofessional and I don't love their facility anyway. It's all inside and they allow no toys or anything for play, so what else is my dog supposed to do other than play with the other dogs? We will be trying other places that can handle puppies and high energy dogs and have an outdoor space next. Do not recommend this company.

I asked for details about the attacker and was told this information was "irrelevant." The manager got very defensive and wasn't the least bit sympathetic. They couldn't even explain how my dog got attacked. They were likely too understaffed to notice. I will not be returning to this daycare. There are others in the city that have safer practices and better staffing.
