House of dog is great! We have been sending our 2 year old mixed rescue Shadow for about a year & 1/2 now to daycare & she loves it! She went through training classes there! She was board there for our wedding & they even transported her to the wedding to be in our ceremony! They do cute themed days! Now we will start sending our new puppy Rocky who is a 6 month old mixed rescue! He just went through his temperament test and seems to love it already! The staff is amazing & I can’t recommend them enough!

House of Dog is amazing! I bring my two dogs Miley and Presley there to get their energy out during the week. Everyone knows you and your dogs. It’s run like a regular daycare with lots of enrichment, play time, and they sometimes send them home with arts and crafts. It’s so much fun and my dogs love it! Highly recommend!

HOD is great for doggie day care, and boarding needs. We have been a customer for the last three years and have seen the business evolve. HOD has been effective every step of the way at always keeping up the high quality of their services. They have a great staff and well maintained facility. Their staff are great with communication and they have a client portal which is very user friendly. Highly recommend!

House of Dogs Retreat and Spa was the best move for Tootsie. She loves going there and playing with the other dogs and humans. The workers are friendly and pay great attention to the dogs.

There aren't enough good things I could say about House of Dog! My dog Romeo has been going there since we first got him (7months) and he LOVES going. I love how they post so many pictures and videos to ease the pup parents minds while they are at daycare/boarding. I have a 8 year old pit, Autumn, who can be a little fearful and was nervous she wouldn't be accepted, but they assured me they would make her stay as enjoyable as possible. Whenever I can recommend this facility, I do!

The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive in creating a welcoming atmosphere. They provide a safe and comfortable space for my fur baby. Riley loves going here and she will sleep until 2pm the next day. I can’t recommend House of Dog enough!

We just had our dog Loki in this past Thursday for his evaluation to attend here. The staff was super nice, answered all my questions, and even called half way through the day to give me an update. Loki passed and we can’t wait to send him back for more sessions. I even had questions with the sign up portal and they got back to me extremely quick us to make sure I had everything I needed. And they keep their socials updated so we were able to see pictures of our big lug having so much fun. I would highly recommend checking this place out!

Hank has been going to HOD for almost a year and we absolutely love it! He attends daycare 3 days a week and has the best time. The staff is always friendly and super welcoming. As soon as we walk in the door, we are always greeted and Hank’s tail instantly starts wagging! I love all of the pictures they post on Facebook and I can always tell Hank is having the best time. If you’re looking for a place to board or send your dog to daycare HOD is the place to go! We love it so much!

My puppy Dakota has been coming here for a few weeks and we have been super happy!! She is always excited to get out of the car and go inside and is always so tired when she gets home from playing! I also love how they post pictures/videos on Facebook all day you can really tell they love the doggies like their own! :)

I love everything about this place. My dog is safe and they continuously add more features like pickup. My dog looks forward to going to his camp everyday and everyone there is so friendly. The groomer is also so pleasant and so nice. Only great things about this place.

The absolute best doggy daycare, dog groomer, and dog boarding facility. I tried numerous ones in Philadelphia and they were expensive and smelly. The staff at House of Dog care about the animals and the facility and it shows. You won’t get daily photos or videos or report cards, but what you do get is a staff that is constantly watching over and creating the safest environment for your dog. The thoughtfulness they bring to the care of dogs is unmatched. I’m so happy I found a place where I feel completely comfortable to leave my dog.

We are so lucky to have found House of Dog for our bulldog. We love daycare and how sweet everyone is to our dog Zoe, but the boarding is also a god send. This is the first time we can truly board our dog and feel she is truly being taken care of. We know she is on vacation and having the best time ever while we are away.

These people had absolutely no clue how to handle a fearful dog. They wrote her off as a candidate for day care services because she was shy and timid on her first day. Amanda (owner/manager?) didn't even tell me that they introduced her to one dog only at first. She made it sound like they put my baby into a room with 15 other dogs right away and she was fearful and snappy when any dog came near her. I would be the same way.I took her to another nearby day care for evaluation. And was told that while she was shy and timid at first, she did warm up to all of the people and even played with two other pit bulls the whole day.If there was a '0' star option I would do that.Please note: I asked for a callback from Amanda TWICE to clarify whether or not Mira was slowly introduced or if she was really just placed into a room with 15 other dogs -- and never received a call.Please see report card from the other daycare I took her to where she had a much better experience.

Lacey and Harley love the House of Dog! Lacey gets so excited when she knows she is going to play with her friends. The staff are great and know how to care for my pups and I don't need to worry about them when I'm away.

Have had such a great experience here, our puppy is a COVID pup and is attached to the hip. He settled in so nicely here. They also update their Facebook and Instagram OFTEN so you can see your babies, which is so nice for us neurotic parents lol!! Thank you HOD for treating my baby like he’s your own!

My 1st time grooming my skitzy Westie pup. I usually groom my westies, but this one gave me too hard a time. Cari was terrific with her. Nice staff. Reasonable pricing.I'll be back.

I have a very small toy Yorky, she’s almost 12 years old and she is very difficult to groom as she has had bad grooming experiences in the past and also has been abused by a previous owner. I’ve been spoken to very rudely in the past by other groomers, charged outrageous prices for a 4.5 pound dog. After venting about my frustrations, Carrie at House of dog was recommended to me so I jumped on the opportunity to try her out! I gave her fair warning that my dog is difficult very sweet and she listened and told me she would work with her on building a relationship to build the trust and do what she could grooming wise. Yesterday, I dropped my dog off for the first time I got very nervous when I heard how many dogs were in the facility because that also gives my little baby a large amount of anxiety. But when we picked her up, Carrie told me that despite my dog being difficult, she was able to make a lot of progress and got all of the grooming done we needed! She looks so adorable and I’m so appreciative that I found someone who actually took the time to get to know my little fur baby instead of just getting frustrated and giving up on her. Thank you so much Carrie!!

HOD is great! I love the fact that anytime you text them, they get right back to you, and they are always posting pictures of your fur baby on their Facebook page.

On grooming:When we got our rescue, he was badly matted; when we took him to another groomer, she made an effort so he came out with his fur short but he still looked like his breed. Since then his fur has gotten very long but we’ve brushed him every day; I’m sure he had some mats, but definitely much less than when we rescued him. House of Dog just shaved him as short as I have ever seen a dog shaved from head to tail. He looks absolutely ridiculous, and completely against his breed standard that we asked for. They tried to claim it was because he was matted — no, they could have done better but just didn’t want to bother. My daughter sobbed.On daycare:Before we took our rescue in for an evaluation, I was nervous and emailed questions. These were never answered. When I took him there that morning, the woman didn’t seem to know he was being evaluated and had no questions about him and nothing to tell me about the process. She simply took the leash and took him inside; no idea what it looks like in there. When I picked him up, she just handed him to me. I asked how he did — he was being evaluated after all! — and she just shrugged and said fine. He was dirty and stank terribly. We’ve been to two other places since, and both of them provided lots of information both before and after, and he did not stink afterwards.Avoid House of Dog like the plague!

I have 2 boxers that mean the world to me, Rudy and Dutch. We were weekly members of another daycare in delco but a close friend recommended I try this new place called House of Dog. I quickly did some research and tried them out. I was AMAZED by the difference in quality. The owners really poured their heart and soul into this place. First of all she offers so many services! They will even come pick your pup up and drop them off need be. They have top of line equipment, and beautiful rooms in the dog hotel. Most of all when I drop them off, I can see my pups join the others through a HUGE glass window so nothing is hidden. I love to watch them for a few minutes get acclimated with the others and how happy they are to be there. The staff is VERY friendly and you can tell they all are “dog” people. This doesn’t even cover half the services they offer. I’ll be a forever member of House of Dog. Also the prices are super affordable!! My dogs love it here and so will yours

I cannot begin to tell you how much I love House of Dog. When you first walk in all you smell is clean not dog! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very caring. The main play area (Central Bark) is large and spacious for dogs of all sizes to run around. House of Dog will be my choice for boarding my Yorkie puppy when we go out of town.

I have been using this location for a few months now and they are an excellent doggie daycare. They are very clean, I can smell the cleaner on my dog when she comes home so I know this facility is doing their best. They incorporate down time for the dogs, which is important. The center bark play area is large and it has an adjoining outdoor area. I also really appreciate they post pictures throughout the day on Facebook so you can see your dog having fun. One thing that's really great is their hours. Drop off for doggie daycare is 6am to 7pm which works so well for me. My dog loves it and always comes home tired.

This was an awesome experience for my boyfriend's dog Howie while we were on vacation. They are very reasonable and are always available for a call to check on your pup. They did an awesome job with updates on Instagram and Facebook. They also gave him a bath and groomed him with ShedEx. I can't recommend them enough.
