“We recently boarded our pup at Bark U for three nights, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Their check-in and check-out process runs like a well-oiled machine, making everything seamless and stress-free.<br><br>What really stood out was how much they genuinely got to know our pup. At pickup, one of his caregivers took the time to give us a detailed update on how he did both in the play yard and overnight. Since boarding and daycare are new experiences for him, they also shared thoughtful recommendations about what might help him feel even more comfortable during future stays.<br><br>It's clear that the team at Bark U truly cares about every dog in their care. We're so grateful to have found a place we can trust, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing our pup is in such capable and caring hands whenever we travel. We highly recommend Bark U!”
“After being told by multiple other trainers that our dog Lola was too shut down to help, seven sessions with Alicia from At Attention Dog Training has made a world of difference. She helped us to build Lola's confidence and trust in people, as well as work on basic obedience, all with a 1 year old running around. Alicia was very knowledgeable and gave us simple, effective steps to work on with Lola.”
“Before working with Tina, we were truly at our wits' end with our doodle, Perry. He had become an entitled, snippy little brat, and if I'm being completely honest, I was fairly convinced my husband was going to drop him off at a shelter one day while I was out running errands. We loved him, but our home had become stressful, and we didn't know what else to do.<br><br>From our very first consultation, Tina took the time to listen to our concerns in regards Perry and was completely transparent about the process. She set expectations upfront, explaining that she would do the hard work during his board-and-train, but it would be our responsibility to maintain and reinforce everything he learned once he came home. More importantly, she gave us the tools and confidence to be successful.<br><br>From the moment we dropped Perry off, we felt involved every step of the way. We were given homework, received daily video updates showing his progress and explaining what they were working on each day, and even met with Tina during his stay. At that point, I can honestly say my husband was still skeptical. Tina was honest about Perry's progress and recommended keeping him a few extra days because of his stubborn, bratty attitude. We appreciated her honesty and trusted her judgment.<br><br>The morning Perry came home, we were honestly nervous. Our busy household had been so much calmer while he was away that we weren't sure what to expect. But when Tina arrived, we were absolutely blown away. She didn't just drop him off—she spent time training us in our own home, making sure we understood how to continue building on everything Perry had learned. Knowing we also have a follow-up training session available gives us even more confidence.<br><br>Since Perry has been home, he has exceeded every expectation we had. Even my husband is amazed by the transformation. He had only been home for about two weeks, but multiple friends have asked if he's a different dog. Just this morning, someone stopped me during our walk to compliment Perry's behavior and how well he walked on leash after another much larger dog was barking and lunging at us from a distance. A few weeks ago, Perry would have completely lost his mind. Instead, he stayed calm and walked right at my side. I never would have believed that was possible.<br><br>We're excited to continue working with Perry and watching him grow, but Tina has already changed our lives in ways we can't fully express. She didn't just train our dog—she changed the entire dynamic of our home and helped us keep a beloved member of our family when we were honestly afraid we might be forced to make a different decision.<br><br>If you're considering working with Tina, don't hesitate. Her honesty, communication, dedication, and expertise are truly exceptional, and we will always be grateful for everything she has done for Perry and for our family.”
“We have been taking our dogs and cats to SKIPPACK Veterinary for years . They took such good care of our fur babies. Very clean office and staff is warm but professional.”
“Very well organized and for us they hit all the basic commands we wanted for our puppy like sit, stay, and much more. Definitely worth going but you do need to practice at home for things to work because they're not miracle workers so expect to do homework to get something out of it. Overall I'd highly recommend them.”
“We love sending our dog to Perfect Pooch.<br>We were just in Europe for 10 days and didn't worry at all. We knew Remi was in great hands!!”
“I’ve boarded my dog Deezel here several times, and they have taken great care of him. Deezel has always been a bit of a flight risk, so I don’t trust just anyone with his care. Deezel loves his stays here and he comes back smelling amazing with a fresh bath! 10/10 highly recommend, and Melissa and the rest of the staff are great too!”
“Been using the Cats Only Hospital for the past few years now. Doctor Ask is very knowledgeable and has a very friendly staff that is also well educated. I would definitely recommend for your sick kitten or just for the usual check up!”
“I’ve used other boarding facilities and I must say this one is by far our best experience. The dogs are well taken care of and given so much love. We drop off and the dogs know that they are in for a great week. My daughter and other family members started boarding here and are beyond happy with the care. We highly recommend them!!!”
“My dog hasn’t been back in quite some time just because …of life . . We go back today and 3 employees were at the door welcoming my Walter !! They loved him up and made me feel so comfortable leaving him again. I was updated with photos and a report card . This is now my only place I choose for my best friend.”
“Old school doc! I love it. Simple to make appointments, well priced, and very sweet to my pups.”
“What a lovely, well-appointed, welcoming little spot. They were so sweet to my shy, elderly dog on his first visit. I could tell that Miranda was very knowledgeable about canine behavior, but she came across as humble and approachable, and she thoroughly explained the evaluation process. Jimmy Page was well cared for here!”
“I don’t need my black lab to do tricks or rollover or do anything like that. My goal is to have her be “civilized.” To not jump up on people. To walk nicely beside me. To come when called. To drop things she picks up when I tell her to. To not freak out whenever a neighbor with a dog walks past. I have finally found the solution to all of this…<br><br>I have tried training my dog with two different online programs and several group classes with other trainers. For all the time and money spent with these groups, the results were very minimal. (After several weeks of daily training with the online program, my dog would look at me when I said her name… That’s it!)<br><br>Meanwhile, after I discovered John and Molly’s Country Kennels, within 2 training sessions Raven was loose leash walking, would stay when told to, and was noticeably more “civilized.” Now, when we are walking and come to an intersection, she stops and sits without even being told to.<br><br>I’ve had a few more sessions since, and she is well on her way to no longer being reactive around other dogs, squirrels, rabbits, or deer — and coming instantly when called. It’s especially nice that he can bring other dogs into the sessions to work on reactivity and overcoming distractions.<br><br>John really knows his stuff!He is wonderful with dogs and people. Raven is always very happy and excited to see him, and he is excellent about explaining to me what we are doing and why (without making me feel stupid.) Because of this, I can continue with training on my own, confident that I am doing it right.<br><br>When we are training, I never feel rushed or like he is watching a clock. We make significant improvements with her behavior every session. His staff (especially Debbie) are very friendly and helpful. It is clear that John’s caring, patient and positive attitude permeates his business.<br><br>John’s facilities are amazing! The nicest I have ever seen. (He even has an in-ground pool for the dogs in the summer!) And I can tell by how he introduces dogs to each other that he really pays attention to how they are interacting, to make it a great experience for the dogs. We haven’t gone on vacation yet to board my dog, but I am sure that when we do, Raven will have as good a vacation as I do! I trust John to keep Raven safe and happy.<br><br>After a few sessions, someone who hadn’t seen Raven in a few months asked me how old she was. (She is a black lab, about to turn 4. Super high energy.) He thought maybe she was older because she was no longer barking or going crazy when people and other dogs walked past. She is just as high energy, but now she’s becoming civilized.<br><br>If you’re looking for a training experience that is positive for you and your dog, or for a boarding kennel that your dog will love, John and Molly’s Country Kennels is the place to go.”
“Second year boarding my dogs at Hickory Pet Inn. They came home happy and healthy. The team at Hickory Inn provided love and care for my precious dogs. The team also reassured me of their wellbeing when I called to check on them.”
“Just picked up my German Shepherd from EnVi after his week long slumber party. He absolutely loves it there!!!<br>I never felt once like I needed to check on him. I knew he was in perfect and attentive hands with Victoria and her staff.<br>While I didn’t ask, Victoria sent photos of him playing with the other campers and you could tell he was having an amazing time!!<br>What peace of mind when going on vacation to know he is being taken such good care of!!!”
“This is both of our dogs favorite place to go to. Whenever we need daycare or boarding they are always available. The grooming services are top notch, and the staff is great.<br><br>The enrichment programs are especially fun for the dogs and us owners.”
“I've witness Daniel's talent for transforming troubled dogs into well behaved loving pets. There's reason why he one of the best dog trainers in Philadelphia!”
“Our family brings our dog Dexter here for grooming. He always looks fantastic afterwards. He is very sensitive and he is reactive, but he trusts their team and they always take such great care of him. They work with him to make him as comfortable as possible. We couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Me and my dog love PDTC. We’ve been taking classes with them for almost a year and my dogs behavior has improved so much. Everyone in my classes are super friendly and supportive and everyone is genuinely happy when my dog performs a task that she has been struggling with. Would definitely recommend PDTC as the place where you train your dog!”
“Dr. Ravi is a really decent, knowledgeable, and caring vet. Today, he heard my concerns about my cat, and we had a good discussion on next steps. He was still in the office after it closed to make sure I was able to receive antibiotics for my cat's condition. Thank you so much for your help and medical expertise.”
“The best place to take your dog, the staff cares so much about all the pups and they are super communicative. Amazing day camp and the vet is also fantastic”
“Black Rock is a wonderful institution the staff animals and community are all wonderful It has truly changed my life for the better”
“Erinn Podoshen, owner of Positive Pet Training in Wayne, PA, has been taking care of my two cats when I travel, for many years. There aren’t enough stars in Google to rate her services, so I will give her the best review available on this platform. Her service is affordable and a great value.<br><br>She goes above and beyond the role of caretaker and trainer. On my last trip this summer, she communicated with me unexpected issues that occurred and managed them with kindness and consideration. Because Erinn is thoughtful and proactive, my concerns were addressed and I didn’t worry about a thing. Her attention to detail and pet care suggestions and solutions are mindful and impactful. I highly recommend Positive Pet Training for the care and training of all your non-traditional family members.”
“Dr. Murarka has a heart full of compassion! He saved my most precious and beloved boy cat from dying. He made a house call, came all the way from Blue Bell to Philly, checked him out and told me to meet him back at the office because his situation was dire. My boy was perfect the next day! And years later when I took in a pregnant stray, she was in distress and lethargic during her labor. I called ahead and he took her right in, saving her life after performing surgery on her to remove the 2 kittens that had died before they could be delivered. She was being poisoned by the deceased fetuses. Dr. Murarka exhibited loving care and urgency yo save the life of a stray cat, and though it has been years since these two events, they are indelibly etched in my memory with deep gratitude.”
“Easy to schedule appointment - easy to confirm and fill in info. Short wait time at the appointment. The Employees and the Veterinarian were nice, knowledgeable and very caring for my dog. It’s so easy and worth it! We will definitely use again!! Thank you!”
