Pet boarding/training near Cheltenham

“I love the Pup play day care. The people there are very caring about your dog. The place is always clean. I never smelled an odor for it to be a place where dogs hang out at.“

“The Owner Don truly cares about all the dogs in his business. I am a colleague of his and had contact over a mutual client. Don is professional, passionate about what he does and receptive. Most importantly, he is open minded (they say the only thing 2 trainers agree on is what the 3rd is doing wrong ?) As a fellow trainer and kennel owner, just based off of today's interaction, I would absolutely endorse his program.“

“We had a great boarding experience with the Collar Club. Our dog stayed for 8 days and Bree was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She set our minds at ease about boarding our dog with her from our first conversation. We really appreciated how responsive and organized everything was and loved that she sent videos of our dog during the stay. It’s clear that Bree truly cares for the animals under her care. We highly recommend boarding with the Collar Club and will definitely board there again.“

“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!“

“I’ve only been a member of this dog training club for about 6 months, although I have been training my dogs for over 20 years. I am very impressed with the different classes offered and the quality of the instructors. Due to the training and influence of the instructors, I am now training in agility at United Dog in a class taught by an instructor who also teaches at Suburban. My dog is busy and soooooo happy!“

“I was visiting the area for a couple months and the team at Groom and Board has been wonderful. I have a very, very small dog and had no concerns about his safety in their care. They were beyond accommodating. I look forward to coming back and visiting them again soon. I highly recommend!“

“The best place to take your dog I have a rescue pitbull I take there for doggy day care and overnights. he runs through the doors to get inside as fast as he can because he loves it so much. they take good care of your dog ?“

“We have boarded our dog with others over the years, but through a recommendation of a friend we booked with Green Street Animal Care and have been thoroughly satisfied. They are our number one choice when it comes to animal care and boarding for our dog, they take the stress and worry away, went on vacation, and our dog needs to be boarded and she loves it there. It is her second home.“

“My dog is currently enrolled in the Sports Prep class at Y2K9s, and we are loving every minute! Our instructor, Diane, is amazing—super friendly, approachable, and refreshingly honest, which I really appreciate. The classes are well-structured and fun, and I can already see my dog gaining confidence and skills. We’ll definitely be back for agility classes—highly recommend Y2K9s to anyone looking for top-notch dog training!“

“My German Shepherd puppy and I completed the Basic Obedience Class offered by Hickory Dog Training. The instructor was so accommodating and helpful. The class was small so she focused on specific needs of each dog. She gave us lesson plans so that we can continue to practice! I look forward to seeing other classes that they offer!“

“I can not recommend Off Leash enough! I did the 2 week boarding and have been so happy with the results, such a worthwhile investment. If you're on the fence, do it!

My pup stayed with Kim for two weeks. I felt so comfortable leaving her with Kim, and got a ton of updates and pictures throughout. They went for long walks and hikes every day, and had homemade turkey meatballs every day. I always knew what they were working on and what is expected for each command/behavior.

My pup was extremely energetic and about to start prozac for her anxiety. After training she seems so much less anxious and was able to self-regulate and listen rather than being in a hyperactive state all day. After the two weeks and our final training session together, I felt extremely confident in my ability to continue the training given my pup had such a solid foundation and knew all the commands.

This past weekend was the ultimate test as my pup was around several other dogs and about a dozen people. Where she would have previously jumped all over every guest, she patiently laid down and waited to hear the word 'break' before greeting anyone. I am SO proud of her and can't thank Off Leash and Kim enough! It is such a good feeling to trust your dog and give them a bit more freedom to explore.“

“A wonderful place with a lovely staff who truly love the dogs in their care. My two-year-old rescue was shy and submissive when she started at Little White Dog, and four months in she's blossomed into an exuberant and fun-loving goofball. We are so grateful!“

“If you’re looking for the BEST doggy daycare, Furst Steps is it—no question.

I’ve tried another daycare for day boarding on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the difference is night and day. At the other place, my dog Mabel was scared to even walk through the doors. It broke my heart.

But Furst Steps? Completely different story. The second we turn onto Norristown Road, Mabel starts crying with excitement in the backseat—and I mean happy crying. When we pull up, she practically launches herself toward the front door. She cannot wait to get inside.

As a dog mom, that tells me everything I need to know. She feels safe, loved, and genuinely happy there. There is zero comparison between the two places—Furst Steps wins in every way, and we won’t be going anywhere else.

I am so appreciative of the care they give Mabel. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it shows in how the dogs respond. Highly, highly recommend.“

“I bring my very high needs/anxious baby Aussie for grooming every 6-8 weeks. I cannot say enough good things about Jill, she is an absolute saint. My pup is not the best client and Jill is always so good to him, she's very understanding of his anxiety. He always comes home looking amazing and I'm so glad that we found a compassionate groomer who is so good to him.
It's so reassuring to know that he's in such kind and capable hands.“

“Ten star. Wonderful team of compassionate and talented instructors. I look forward to learning more from them. They were also super chill and kind about me bringing my teenager. Thanks from your baby newf- Freddie !!“

“My Aussie (Maggie) loves the place and the atmosphere. The staff are dedicated and professional. They take care of the pets with such affection and love. Thank you very much.“

“Honest, caring, affordable and well run. Bark Park is a one stop shop for all things dog and they will walk you through everything you need to make your pets experience a good one. Easy booking and automated daily updates keep everyone in the loop on your pups day & progress.“

“a lot of shih tzu parents know that finding a groomer for your little one is VERY tricky!! it was one of my anxiety points when moving to a new state after finding a really good groomer for my shih tzu. I got super lucky that I moved near Cinnaminson, and the groomer, Kirby, was a trusted Shih Tzu groomer! We have been coming here consistently since July 2025, and I honestly hope we never have to move! they take such great care of our pups. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“In 5 weeks of Day School at the Old City location + an incredible 4 day seminar (with Forrest Micke and Kynology) at OPB’s Farm Dog location, our mystery mutt with an equally mysterious past grew into a less anxious, less fearful, calmer and happier being. Strangers comment on how well trained she is now, but I feel like we’re just getting started!

Thank you Ashlee, Siara, Janet and Leigh for going at Ginger’s pace and teaching us how to safely navigate the world together.

What I used to see as triggers and obstacles are now opportunities to grow through stress!

It’s like the saying goes, “You don’t get the dog you want, you get the dog you need.” And you all have helped me learn through Ginger and deepen our partnership!

For those reading this review - don’t hesitate to seek OPB’s support. Their entire staff is extremely organized, communicative and supportive of your individual needs/goals.

We’ve only had our beloved Ginger for one + year, she is around 6-8 years old, and came with a lot of baggage. If Ginger can be helped, OPB can help any dog in a safe and loving manner!

Thank you all again. Looking forward to continuing sessions, classes and excursions!
Andrea & Ginger“

“SHVH squeezed us in for a tick bite inspection and they were welcoming and never made us feel rushed. The staff are all so kind to our dog and make her feel comfortable & loved.“

“They took good care of our baby tiger and made sure she got the vaccines, medications, and tests she needed. She was comfortable and the staff were very nice us all. Will return.“

“We absolutely love K9 and could not recommend it more. The staff is amazing; so caring, personal, and attentive. Our dog clearly adores them and is always happiest sitting right up front with the staff whenever she can. It’s obvious how much love and attention all the dogs receive.

What means the most to us is that she’s not just being “watched” while we’re away; she’s genuinely enjoying herself. She gets to attend daycare, socialize, and stay active, which is so important to us. Honestly, it feels like a mini vacation for her too! Because of the wonderful care she receives, we never feel guilty leaving her when we travel because we know she’s happy, comfortable, and in the best hands possible.

The peace of mind this place gives us is priceless, and we are so grateful for the incredible staff.“

“A bit pricey but they are very professional, knowledgeable and fast. They offer all services and get you in and out. Billings is detailed and explained in full. Optional services are explained before rendered.“
