Dog Boarding near Philadelphia, PA

I’ve always been a dog lover and Hank was such a help in making my dream of being a dog mom that much more significant. All dogs are such sweet angels and they deserve the best care and utmost love. Hank gets a long with all dogs and humans but not cats. We look forward to meeting you and your baby and exchanging care and affection.

My husband and I are soon to be empty nesters. We live in the city but we are a block from Marconi Plaza. We have a typical quirky, Shiba Inu. He likes other dogs his size are smaller. Without dogs people making him nervous especially kids. Kiwi enjoys, going to fenced in dog parks. Can takes an anxiety medication and an appetite stimulant once a day.

Hi! I got Kygo at the beginning of the pandemic as a puppy and we are inseparable. I work from home so we love going on short walks, playing tug of war, playing with our backyard cat friends, and overall just hanging on the couch.

Hello fellow dog parents! We live in South Philly with our two Boston Terriers, Juju and Rocky.

Hello, I am a Dog Owner who travels and is looking to connect with other community dog owners who enjoy helping one another on occasion. My home is spacious, clean, and quiet. I’m very conscientious about safety and the health of my animal. My animal enjoys other animals and is friendly with pet sitters. I do not take him to dog parks. His health is at risk, unfortunately.

Hi! I work from home so spend plenty of time playing with my dog. Barfi loves other small dogs and is full of energy.

Phoebe is an 8lbs papillon mix.

hi! i'm a designer living in graduate hospital with my partner and two kids under 4. we have a very sweet/lazy/large dog named soft. she get along wonderfully with other dogs and kids and is generally very low maintenance and doesn't require a ton of exercise. she does have separation anxiety. after a lot of training she does totally fine alone in our home (particularly if it's on a typical routine) for much of the day. but leaving her alone in other people's houses is less tested waters. so the ideal boarding home would have someone who is with soft for much of the day and/or is willing to test out leaving her in smaller intervals or maybe even dropping her off at our house when they need to be away for long segments of time. we're dog lovers and would love to meet your dogs too!

Scarlet is a very sweet pit mix - smaller than most - commonly referred to as a pocket pittie. She loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly.

Mikan is super friendly (loves playing with dogs and humans equally) and loves hanging out with her friends at the Schuylkill dog park!

I have had Cali since she was a puppy. She loves snuggling and playing fetch. She is great with my two toddlers and cat. She likes playing with other small dogs but it does take her sometime to warm up. She does not do well with high energy dogs. She is also anxious around new people and also takes time to warm up but treats do help. We don’t have family close by so traveling can be tough. She would not do well in a normal boarding situation since she is anxious on new situations.

Hi! I’m a first time dog parent and loving it so far. Franklin and I are figuring things out and want to make friends. We love walking and most of all cuddling!

I’m Aggée a health care consultant and I adopted Juniper in April and we’ve been inseparable since! You can find us at the Seger or Columbus dog parks or sunbathing on our roof deck most days!

 We have two adorable but quirky pups that we are obsessed with. Hickory our beagle is 5 years old, super friendly, loves everyone and is generally uber chill. He is very mischievous re food and will find it anywhere he can reach. He also has some separation anxiety. Willow is our anxious rescue chihuahua mix that is so, so sweet but remains super skittish and anxious (cowers and hides) with strangers no matter how much we’ve loved on her. But if you are slow and gentle with her she loves to be loved!

Medical student with a wonderful and friendly 7 year old relaxed sweetheart named Percy.

Hello! My son Louis and I are looking for a sitter that can spend time with him while I’m working. If Lou could talk, he would tell you how much he appreciates spending time with humans, and maybe that I don’t give him enough treats and ice cream! Louis does have some health complications including IVDD and patellar luxation which requires more care and attention than the average pup.

Hello! My son and I currently live in Philadelphia and are huge dog lovers! Sadly, our sweet Lois passed away in October of 2023, but we are happy to host another dog in the area if needed!

Harley is a good sweet gentle boy who is a bit of a baby in a 10-year old healthy dog body. We moved to center city from the ‘burbs 2 years ago go and he has adjusted well. We live close to Rittenhouse Square so he thinks that’s his backyard and all the dogs there have come to visit him. He gets along great with humans and other pups, a bit aloof after the initial curiosity. He’s an extremely chill dog.

hi i’m annie and i work from home full-time in the finance industry! penelope (aka penny) has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. she especially loves to play fetch and swim.

I am a dentist and love dogs. I grew up having a bichon frise. I am allergic to shedding dogs but love being around hypoallergenic dogs that don’t shed. I love being outside in the summer or winter. I am very active outside of the office. I play golf, tennis, bike, run, ski and love taking walks with my dog Leo.

Kai is an amazingly loving girl. She is talkative and loves treat! Her superpower is sniffing!

Hey, we’re Cedric and Benny! I work full time from home and have previously dogsat for friends, family, and Rover clients throughout college. I have experience with toy sized dogs to large dogs and medication management. I have a preference for adult (1yr+ dogs). Benny is a 17lb Chihuahua/Terrier/Beagle mix. He is very food motivated and good around other dogs anywhere and people outside of his own home. He sleeps most of the day and likes to stay by your side. He can be a little stubborn on walks but is easily guided with treats. Happy to join this community of pet parents.

Hello! Winnie and I live in the art museum area of the city. I don’t have family close by so it would be helpful to have a helping hand if I ever needed someone for Winnie. She is a very sweet lazy cattle dog. She is a herding breed so she does try to herd other animals or people. She likes everyone in the same room. She is good with other dogs but sometimes can get snippy about food/treats/toys so as long as these are given separate from another dog she is fine.

My wife and I are new dog parents to Luna, our Portugese Water Dog.

Hi! Been in the neighborhood for a while, since 2015. Labradoodle Rudy still has pup energy sometimes and would love to get him some friends time!

WFH Cavapoo dad for the last couple years. Abby is a great chill dog, doesn’t bark much (only to play w other dogs). Laziest dog you’ll meet.

Hello! Four and I are nyc transplants who just moved to Center City. Four is an absolute goober of a dog— she’s super dopey and loving, she loves playing with other dogs and posing for pictures. Four is also extremely intelligent and alert. Because she’s so smart, she can be a bit anxious and does struggle with separation anxiety when her mum is gone. Four is a super chill dog and spends most of her days relaxing, but she’s always down for a game of fetch(as long as she isn’t responsible for bringing the ball back every time)

Hi! Looking for some help with my girl when I work long shifts as an RN

Hey there! I live in spring garden with my dog catfish and I have a cat. We go to the Francisville dog park often. I also do dog walking, sittings, and boardings!

Two fun loving city gals!

Hello! Both my dog Stevie and I are having fun with being young in city! Stevie is a playful 3 year old Shepherd mix who knows how to play a mean game of fetch but also chill out with you on the couch. She plays well with others but can sometimes get a little protective over food as she is highly food motivated (me too, girl). I’m a mental health therapist who grew up with dogs and loves getting to spend time outdoors when I can. Although I live in an apartment, I have a fenced in backyard for the pups to hang out in.

Hi! My name is Aly and I’m Lola’s mom. We love to hang out at the dog park and go on hikes. Lola loves playing with a friend her size who can also chill and just lay around the house with her.

Loving dog owner with lil Bowie, a maltese-shitzhu-poodle! Looking to trade dog sitting with other non-shedding dogs ☺️

Hey! We are Sher and Saanya. Sher is my first pet and he is super friendly and energetic. He loves to play and fetch. He is still a puppy so we are slowly introducing him to socializing with other dogs but he just gets excited around them and never bites them etc. He doesn’t shed at all and is pretty easy to manage. He is trained to pee outside or on pee pads. My name is Saanya and I work from home with my husband. We stay in an apartment in Philly and would love to dog sit smaller dogs (due to space) that don’t shed that much. We are pretty open about dogs on furniture etc and would prefer a potty trained dog. Mostly we are excited to have a friend Sher can play with!

Nice to meet y’all, we’re Kenna, Lucas, and Tigs! We’re new to the Northern Liberties area and are looking to meet more dog parents interested in creating a community for our families :) We rescued Tigs 5 months ago and she is the sweetest, guard dog ever. She’s quite skittish still but once she spends some time with you she’ll be a ball of energy and slowly but surely show you her spunky attention-driven charm :) We love her a whole bunch and want her to have a full social life and a bunch of besties- and her parents would love to know that there are friends in the city who could watch her for a weekend. We’re excited to be here!!

Hi, I’m Kate! I’ve lived in the Fairmount area for over a decade, and I do finance & operations for a tech company (mostly wfh). Our pup Ace is super friendly and very easy going. He likes to play in spurts but mostly just enjoys relaxing near people. He gets along with nearly all dogs, still doesn’t fully understand cats, and loves kids but doesn’t always understand his size or how strong his wagging tail can be!

Hi! My partner and I love dogs and our pup Willoughby needs lots of of exercise so we make sure to bring her daily to fairmount park which is right down the street. I work from home so I’ll be available to be with any visiting pup all day. All of our furniture (including our bed) is dog friendly so your pup will be very comfy and feel like they are at home. Our pup enjoys sleeping in her crate during the day so if your dog has one, feel free to send it. Expect lots of activity, fun, safety and relaxation at our house.

New to Philly we adopted Murf! 

Keiko is a cat stuck in a dog's body. He loves to snuggle. He is not big on walks but loves to be around people. Other than sleeping he loves playing with his toys.

A man and his dog

This is Soul. We are best friends and she loves cats and other dogs too!

Bash is the sweetest little pup. Since she’s half husky, she gets hot easily and may lay near a water bowl or on the cool kitchen tile, or hardwood floor. Loves ice cubes. She always comes over for cuddles and scratches. Both dogs go to daycare 2-3 days a week, and get along with dogs of every size, age and temperament. May skip breakfast and might only eat after the humans eat dinner. She wants to see if she can human food first, then will eat her kibble. Due to some overs-cuddling in the past, she’s afraid of young kids. She NEVER has nipped or even growled at a kid, but she tucks her tail and runs away. Occasionally she’ll bark if the kids chase her, but again never bitten a kid (or anyone).

Moved to Philly this year for work! I am in healthcare and my boyfriend works from home. We’re looking to make more dog-friends and socialize our pup!

Long term dog owner with tons of experience with multiple dogs. Has helped Many people over the years with pet sitting. My dog is simply the life of the party and friendly to anyone she meets

Just a family of 5 living in Fishtown, looking for ways to help and be helped with budget friendly stays for our pup while we’re away! Katie and I both work from home the majority of the time, and currently have our 1 month old home with us and the dog while the 2 year old is at daycare. Ferdie is a lover of all people and children and prefers smaller dogs or gentle large dogs (she doesn’t like to be rough housed by big pups). Excited to be a part of this community!

Hi all! My name is Ayven, and the pups name is Scarlett 🤍 We live over in fishtown and enjoy long walks, the dog park and the pool!

We are Dan, Danielle & Rogi and we have been in the neighborhood for 2 years. Previously we were in Baltimore for 5 years which is where we took in Rogi from the local shelter! 4 years later, Rogi still has shades of that anxious stray we first met, but she is considerably mellower and much more confident in her routine and neighborhood.

Hi, we’re Carmen, Pancake, & Maple. Pancake and Maple are the dogs (in case there was any confusion 😉). Pancake is my Frenchie who loves to snore all day long. She’s 7, but will have sparks of puppy energy occasionally which warms my heart because her face is getting more white hair every day. Maple is my sweet angel baby who only has two loves in this world: getting pets and chasing squirrels. She’s at her happiest running around a dog park or following me around the house. We all live at home with my fellow humans, my husband and 1 year old. My 1 year old is in daycare, but I am WFH full time.

Hi! I’m Tatiana. I grew up with dogs and just recently adopted a 16 year old rescue. I have to travel for work occasionally and am looking for someone that can watch my dog & cat and I’ll do the favor in return :) Goddi is 16 and a total love bug. She’s reactive towards other dogs but small enough to be able to redirect. She has lived with a dog before who she got used to. Non-reactive dogs who don’t respond to being barked at for the first 5 minutes of meeting are best! She is very attached to people, as is my 15 year old cat FeeFee!

Fishtown/Olde Richmond homeowner who works from home. I have a toddler who loves dogs and a small cavapoo (bear) who loves to play. I have a roof deck for outside timr but also have time for regular walks and a small patio for quick outside time

Hola! I’m Vicky, originally from Southwest Texas now here in Philly. My husband and I are low-key, love to scrounge for good House or Jazz records depending on the day’s vibe, love a good cup of coffee and spend most of our time finding a random movie to watch. We own two rescues: Frida the Boston terrier and Felix the tuxedo cat. Didn’t realize it at the time but they match. Frida and Felix are two peas in a pod: they play together and snuggle up for naps. They’re both quite the characters, but real loving.

Hi. Recently moved to the area and don’t have any dog friend connections. My work hours vary and have recently changed and sometimes I have last minute overnights. Stella was a rescue who came to live with us when she was 7. She loves to chit chat (bark). She loves attention and is super sweet and total love bug. She’ll want pets and to snuggle. She barks at other dogs, still trying to train her and stop this but she seems to be an old lady set in her ways. Once’s she meets and warms up to other dogs she’ll ignore them while in the same home. She loves to play with cats.

Bolt is a happy pup who loves walks, hikes and trips to the dog park and long naps on the couch.

Hi! I just recently got a puppy who I am looking to socialize with other dogs! She is a mini cavalierbernedoodle, predicted to get up to 25 pounds. Would love to set up some puppy play dates.

We’re both a little quirky but fun! Axyl loves his toys, romping around the back yard and nice long walks. We definitely miss each other when we’re separated but all in all we’re both fairly easy going.

Hello! Our names are Ben and Chelsea, we live in Roxborough with our dog Ryder and our cat. We love going to the park and taking hikes in the Wissahickon with Ryder.

Hey I’m Sarah and I live in the Wissahickon area of Philly with my rescue pup Ramona. I love ALL dogs but especially those Pittie mixes. I volunteer at ACCT and also foster dogs from time to time. Ramona and I are looking forward to meeting you.

Howie is a sweet and loving boy but he is a big dog. He walks well while using a gentle leader and he loves to be pet behind the ears.

Hi all, Mesa and I take long walks daily. I lost my second dog to age-related disease a few months ago. Mesa miss having a companion. I thought this way she could get that back.

We are a mother/daughter household and we absolutely love dogs. We also have one of our own, Maximilian 17 pound Tibetan spaniel who is happy to chill next to other dogs.

Hi I’m Brian and my pup’s name is Beau. He’s such an energetic and lovely lil guy. He loves to play ball and his toys. He’s kind of a barker to stranger human and other dogs but he settles. ☺️

Hi! We're a family of 4 (one fur, one little human). We live in East Falls in a townhome with a small yard. I work from home every day so short-term day sitting is easy enough. Also happy to day sit or board on weekends with enough notice and our dog Lyla being able to acclimate to your pup first. Lyla is a sweetheart with a side of separation anxiety. But she loves snuggles once she gets to know you and will be very protective of you, but not aggressive. She's full grown at 22 pounds and is a medium shedder.

Harley is a soon-to-be 13yo pittie/coonhound mix. Now that she's a senior lady she's moving a little slower but still loves time outside to sniff the breeze or roll in the grass. She's picky about her dog friends, but those she likes she LOVES.

In East falls with 2 labs, sometimes need someone to let them out if we are having a long day at work, or weekend puppy sitting etc. happy to return the favor too!
