Doggy Day Care in Academy Gardens, Philadelphia

“Julia was awesome. We were bit anxious about leaving Baloo but looks like he had good time. Would really recommend Julia. She was very flexible and good in informing us about her availability.”

“My boy Appa had a wonderful time with Anthony!! He came home so happy. We'd been taking him to a big corporate doggy daycare and poor Appa was clearly getting overwhelmed by the size of the groups and chaotic environment. Tonight he's acting like his usual self, all playful and full of love. I'm so happy we found Anthony!! Literally the answer to a prayer.”

About: After 8+ years of caring for fur babies, I love to make sure that everyone is comfortable. Its important to keep your pets safe and feeling like they're staying with a friend. I work a computer job so I'm available to keep a close watch on your loved one. My schedule very flexible, Monday through Sunday works! I have two fur babies that are very social and kind, I live across from a fenced park so going out to play is a must.

“Julie is SO SWEET! Winter kissed her all over.”

“Taylor was so great and Leo had a ton of fun with the Easter Bunny and made new friends in his pack! The photos were so funny and great to see him so happy! Definitely coming back soon!!”

“Tina was amazing with my Stella! She wasn’t very social before but Tina helped her out of her shell. Now she gets along with even cats! I was nervous before, but Tina was so quick to respond with pictures and updates. I can’t wait for Stella to be in her care again.”

“My puppy looked so happy, Danielle make sure he got enough play time. She treated him well, and it’s worth doing daycare with her”

“Finding a trustworthy and nurturing pet sitter could be hard at times, that is why I entrust Gabriela to her genuine affection for animals, giving an immediate sense of comfort and assurance my pet will thrive under her care. Gabriela goes above and beyond to ensure that pets not only receive physical care but also emotional support during their time apart from their owners. Whether it's showering them with affection, engaging in stimulating play sessions, or simply offering comforting companionship, Gabriela, prioritizes the holistic well-being of every pet under her care.”

“Andrew is a fantastic dog walker who loves animals. He's reliable, punctual, and goes the extra mile to keep our furry friend happy and healthy. Highly recommended!”

“Douglas was really quick to respond and take my dog on a day's notice. My dog was perfectly at ease with him and his dogs. Would definitely seek out Douglas again if the need arose.”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. Him being blind causes him to be sensitive but he was surprising comfortable with Emeline! She was nothing but nice and welcoming. She even sent pictures/updates of how our furbaby was doing throughout his time with her. You could tell she really cares for the pets. Definitely recommend her as a sitter! We are absolutely using her again in the future!”

About: I have 2 big grown “puppies” back in Atlanta with my mom. A German Shepard and a big baby Husky. Able to walk big dogs. Been doing boarding since 2017 for students in Clemson when they are going on trips/vacations. what sets me apart is my deep passion for animals and years of experience in pet care. I pride myself on providing personalized attention to every furry friend, whether it's training playful puppies or offering gentle care for senior pets. My dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment ensures that each pet feels right at home. Trust me to go the extra mile in making tails wag and hearts purr! work from home flexible schedule. Each morning, I kickstart the day with feeding, exercise, and playtime, setting the tone for a day filled with joy and activity. Throughout the day, I maintain regular check-ins and provide companionship, ensuring that pets feel loved and cared for at all times. In the evenings, I wind down with calming activities, such as walks or cuddle sessions, fostering relaxation and comfort before bedtime. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, pet care remains a top priority, and I'm dedicated to making every moment count for our beloved companions. Will be able to do potty /walking break every 3-4 hours. at least 4 walks per day. In my home, pets enjoy ample space to move around, and I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of outdoor areas for exercise. For well-trained puppies, there's an unfenced playground where they can play safely. In my client's home, I maintain routines and provide updates for peace of mind, ensuring pets feel at ease and happy wherever they are.

“Takes good care of animals. Took care of my dog for a few days when he was a puppy, gave him a medicine he needed at the time and took care of my pregnant cat.”

“Marilyn is absolutely AMAZING. She loves my baby as much as I love her. Oakley was so excited to see her! She is the BEST!”

About: I'm super excited about working with dogs. I've had cats for the past 20 years. I now live in a 5-cat, 2-dog, 4 hermit crab, and 1 human child household. We have Willow, a 6 year old golden retriever mix (half golden, part rottie, part everything else), and Lilo, a 14 year old chihuahua. We found Lilo running in traffic a couple years ago, no chip, no tags. She clearly had a rough time on the streets, but she is surprisingly loving now, even though she is half blind. Bully mixes are my personal favorite. I've never met a pittie who I didn't love (those grins are just too cute). I know a lot of people tend to be scared of dogs with big boxy faces, but they just look like happy, squishy faces to me! I work out of the home, but there is always an adult home here! Since we have dogs and a toddler, we're always here to care for pups and play. I have a fully fenced yard with grass. We also have baby gates to block off the family room, the kitchen, and the stairs, to help create individual safe areas. I work full time but there is almost always someone home! We have five capable adults in the household, plus a small child who love animals. We have a fully fenced backyard, event the chihuahua can't escape (she has tried!). We follow pet-parent rules (i.e., on furniture or not, crate or not, etc.).

“reliable, caring, and fun-loving pet sitter who I highly recommend. I was nervous to leave my dog with someone new, but Jenny quickly put me at ease. Very communicative pet care provider sends daily updates and photos. Def my go-to pet sitter”

“Wheaton had such a wonderful time at Svetlana's. She and her husband were very kind. Their space was extremely neat and they had a lovely yard for him to run around with.I could tell he was safe, loved and entertained. He slept like a baby by the time he got back. Thanks and we'll be back 😄”

I take pride in making animals feel as comfortable as possible, I like to make sure they get to have as much physical activity as me, lots of walks & play time!💖

“Nina has been a nurturer and caretaker since she was a young lady. I have trusted Nina with house and dog sitting for me when she was a teen, she watched by 2 sons regularly also in those years. As an adult, I have hired Nina to provide pet, house, and child care while we were away on a trip. Nina has invested time, effort, and energy into learning about animals - she had a part time position at a veterinary clinic as youth. She understands the pack mentality of dogs and is fantastic at being calm and consistent with structure and guidance. Nina is observant and responds appropriately to behaviors being exhibited by an animal. Nina is trustworthy and competent. Your pets will be exceptionally well cared for under her supervision.”
