I love the folks at Philly Pet Hotel. We have had a number of stays, including a recent two-week…read morestay, and Dosa loves being treated like a VIP (very important pup). You can tell that she loves the place - lots of tail wagging and excitement whenever we visit. For those whose dogs are their "children," this is the place. I always feel the staff treats Dosa like they would treat their own dog. I get lovely email/text updates and while I miss her, I am never worried about her treatment or care. Dosa stays in a villa as she is dog-reactive, and they are very careful with her. She loves her 1:1 playtime and cuddles and I get the feeling she gets a lot of attention there. At each stay, they wash her bedding and toys and she returns home happy with lots of good memories. Jared and the team know Dosa and I feel so confident leaving her in their hands. Two things to note: 1. Check-in can take some time as they inspect her toys for choking hazards. This is great but do make sure you're not cutting it too close with catching a flight. 2. For one improvement, it would be great if the staff can answer the phone after hours. Dosa (like many dogs) gets anxious during thunderstorms and has medication to help. I've tried calling the office when I know a thunderstorm is expected in Philly, but they do not answer and I don't think they've given her the meds. Not a deal-breaker, but just an area for improvement. Thank you, Philly Pet Hotel team! xoxo, Dosa

The price is also reasonable for the quality groom. Would recommend!

They said she contracted kennel cough and text me on Saturday but at the rate she declined she had to have been sick much longer than they care to admit . I even have a recorded conversation where my friend called and they knew a bad dog influenza was going around philadelphia and still didn't give antibiotics or take to vet after knowing it was not just kennel cough ....I just picked up my dog and is not expected to live past today and she didn't , she contracted kennel cough which turned to pneumonia and passed away. She's was in septic shock. They should have taken her to the vet when she contracted the kennel cough and was seen not eating and lethargic. She got it April 1st, I picked her up April 3 and on April 4 is in the ICU and died today . Pure negligence . Do not board or groom here . Looking back when I brought her in she wasn't happy and had to be picked up, and she usually doesn't mind being boarded (other places she walks right in) so something isn't right at this place. And I'm at a loss for words. She is my life! The fact that kennel cough went around means a dog might have not had their shots (maybe not since it's like the flu and different strains might be resistant to the shot ) but even still they were flat out negligent and should have taken her to the vet. They lied on the text when telling me about it, saying she was eating and drinking fine, but when I picked her up you can clearly tell she had not been eating or drinking (the hospital said she was extremely dehydrated and when we got home she threw up straight bile, no food in her stomach) if she wasn't eating that's a sign that the kennel cough has turned into something worse along with barely being able to walk, they should have taken her to the vet as per the signed agreement, this all could have been avoided and now I lost my best friend. I'm balling my eyes out when I visited her today when they said the only reason she still alive was the meds and machines I know kennel cough can be at any boarding but this place simply ignored her serious symptoms

Can't say enough about this organization. Absolutely excellent. I am writing this from S Korea. We…read morehave been traveling through Japan and then Korea for over 3 weeks. I was so anxious because we moved to Philadelphia right before this trip. I had an interview set up with Amber a week after arriving. My little cat Mario is a very anxious rescue. Every time we have traveled he hides from the sitters and I feel bad. During that interview he was hiding under the quilt on my bed. Amber just knelt on the floor in a non threatening manner and he crawled out right to her . She assured me that Ana who would be making the visits was every bit as good with animals. She was not wrong. Mario has come out at every visit to inspect and supervise her watering our plants and taking care of his food and litter.. My anxiety level has completely disappeared reading her daily reports and seeing my little guy in the photos. They aren't the cheapest but worth every penny for my peace of mind. Easy to schedule and pay on line. Everything is confirmed before we leave. We are in an apartment complex in Northern Liberties so I leave my fob with the concierge where the sitter picks it up and keeps it for the duration of the service. I supply a second envelope for her to place the fob inside and drop with the concierge. I pick it up when we return. So easy and stress free.

I had an emergency trip I needed to take and I just couldn't get back in time to walk my dogs. I had never used a dog walker or a boarder before. Based on the reviews here I called Walk It Like A Dog. I gave them a lot of credit for taking me on as a new client last second. They came to our apartment a few days before and Rich and Tristan were awesome. They were definitely the kind of guys I would go have a drink with and my two dogs really seemed to get along well (which is odd). So I made extra sets of keys and left a check and instructions on my table and felt great because my dogs would be alright and I could take my time. In hindsight I should have called to confirm that morning, but it was only two days since their "meet & greet" so I thought I was OK. It was a good thing my event ended early and the traffic gods were on my side so I was able to return within 12 hours. I came back and found that the check was still there and the leashes had not been moved. They didn't show up at all! I was fuming and called Rich directly on his cell phone. It took him until the next day to find Tristan and figure out why he didn't show. The only response I got from Rich was "I'm really sorry, man. I don't even know what to say". I immediately requested my two sets of keys and told them to lose my number. When I picked up my keys from his shop, they threw in a $20 gift card, like that would make up for not showing up. I also recently got a follow up email that Rich's iPhone was stolen and not to worry "WE DO NOT KEEP ALARM CODES IN THE PHONE, just your name, number and address" That makes me feel soooo much better.

Boy am I glad I found this service! I worked with Matt who was a rockstar at helping my puppy, Archibald go from learning the basic commands into more skilled tricks and behaviors throughout the 6 sessions. Archie very much enjoyed the sessions, always wagging his tail and eager to learn. Matt was always very professional, yet personable/fun. He really seems to have a passion for his job. He taught both my puppy and me a whole lot of valuable information that sets us up on the right foundation from the start together. I am very happy to have invested the time/$$ early on with Tuff Pup Training and would 100% recommend their team to any future dog parents!

She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a natural ability to read our puppy so well. Everything she taught us was practical and genuinely useful. As first-time dog owners, we had a lot to learn, and Sami made it easy to understand our puppy's needs. She always had thoughtful answers and creative ideas we never would have come up with on our own. She was also fantastic at involving our kids in the training, which made the whole experience even more special. On top of that, she's just a wonderful human being. Our puppy was always so excited when Sami came over, which says a lot! We will definitely be scheduling more sessions in the future. After every session, we got an email with a full report on everything we learned, which was super helpful. When we first got a puppy, I didn't think training would be necessary--but now I truly wish for every new dog owner to have someone like Sami.

The idea of being in a room full of other dogs without him barking his head off seemed impossible. I discovered that Philly Unleashed offers a class just for reactive dogs (Dogs With Attitude!). I nervously signed up and attended, and quickly learned that the trainers at Philly Unleashed are very experienced, helpful, quick-thinking, and kind. After getting our dog reactivity in check, we were able to attend a series of other classes - obedience, tricks, agility - all of which were unique, fun, and taught me something new about dog training. Between the classes, boarding my dog at Farm Camp, and having one of the trainers come out to our house to help troubleshoot a new behavioral problem, I've had nothing but great experiences working with this group. The tools and techniques I've learned have seriously improved our day-to-day lives, and my relationship with my dog is a lot more positive and fun. Go Philly Unleashed!

With every issue we faced, she sought to figure out how to turn my dog's attentions away from their "naughty " behavior and towards an acceptable alternative. It's worked unbelievably well. We've been working with CJ for almost four months and I can say without question, that these are the most well-trained dogs I've ever had. And, the cherry on top? They LOVE training! If you're on the fence about training, give CJ a try. It's a totally worthwhile investment, something you'll be thanking yourself for many times over, over the years. You can't go wrong!
