I’ve been using Wag the Dog for about a year and couldn’t be happier! My dog is walked daily, usually by Rory and sometimes by Lindsay. Both are fantastic! I have a stubborn Shiba Inu who can take a while to warm up to people, but she took to both of them quickly. They are also very accommodating to schedule changes - they are great at finding coverage for last minute requests and have never given me a tough time about cancelling if something comes up. I really appreciate everything wag the dog has done for my Eevee!

Five stars isn’t enough for Wag the Dog! We’ve been boarding our floppy bundle of love here for years, and they’re hands-down one of my favorite services in Philadelphia. The team is reliable and caring. Prices are super reasonable, and the folks who run it are just solid, kind-hearted humans. If you love your dog, send them to Wag the Dog. They’ll be in excellent hands—possibly getting more attention than they do at home.

Saying that we love Wag the Dog is an understatement! Our little guy Omar is 15 years old and has some separation anxiety – but he loves Steph so much that he pulls towards her building every time we're on a walk. We're very particular about where we leave our little guy, especially now that he's older, and Wag the Dog is above and beyond what we could hope for in every respect. He comes home calm, happy, and rested. He eats all of his food when he's over Steph's, too, which is a big deal because in the past at other boarders, he wouldn't eat much while we were gone. It means so much to us that we have a place to bring him when we're traveling. Steph is incredibly accommodating, flexible, and caring. We've gotten to know her as a friend around the neighborhood and we trust her completely with my furry son. Thank you, Steph and team, for the service you provide! It's not just love and care for dogs but also peace of mind for dog parents. We're forever (furever??) customers :)

We have Rachel walk our fur babies and I can’t recommend her enough! Saying she’s AMAZING is an understatement. The boys love her and so do we!! She goes above and beyond and leaves the best post walk reports. Truly they make my day. I’m so happy I found this service and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We miss Wag The Dog after we moved away from Philly. I got two puppies during covid and was so grateful to have this trusting, flexible team to help as i transitioned back into the office. Now that i am in another city with new walkers, i appreciate even more the easy scheduling app with real time updates and photos! The dogs loved their walkers/sitters and would go crazy if they saw them out around town. Definitely recommend for daily walks and overnights.

I used Wag the dog for dog walking services during the last 7 months of my dog, Apollo’s life as he needed more outside breaks to not have accidents in the house and I actually wished I used their services a lot earlier. I was an avid walker with him daily for long walks but he was an absolute ham and loved the attention they gave him. They were so sweet to him especially towards the end when it was obvious to me he needed to be relieved of his pain. I’m so thankful they were there to give him extra love and attention. It’s been two years and I’m still so thankful.
