“Took my new rescue for a bath on the way home from a very muddy Wiss walk. The staff was so kind and helped me navigate the other dog there, as Molly and I hadn’t gotten to dog-reactivity training yet. We had so much fun there, and the staff provided everything we needed. I highly recommend and wish I lived closer!”
“What I truly love about this pet shop is that the workers are always very polite and friendly and they’re soo sweet to the pets that comes in and out of their shop”
“Baltimore Pet Shoppe is awesome! They have a surprising amount of pet supplies for a small space. Staff are super helpful and even helped get harnesses onto our wriggly puppy to figure out what size he needed. Love to support local businesses like this one and highly recommend for other pet owners. As a bonus, they have cute cats walking around the store!”
“Thank you! I brought my puppy first toy from here and she just turned 1 . It’s always been wonderful to catch up with Staff when I’m nearby. Thanks for awesome customer service and recommendations over this year”
“Super nice staffs!!
I brought 2 of my corn snakes who have not been eating for months to this store asking for help. Ive been really concerned about that. The staff here is very nice, telling me a lot and that both snakes are healthy so I don’t need to worry too much, and gave me some suggestions as well. I bought two live pinkies and the result is - both of them did eat!! I’m so grateful and excited.”
“The owner is such a gentle and knowledgeable soul. Very courteous and will assist you in all your needs. And i have a tiny dog. Didn't feel like they only catered to bullies. I came away with my needs met for my little guy.”

“Good experience over all. We got our puppy's first set of shots for 13.00, which is great. But you have to give the dog the shots yourself. We also got a huge bone for him to chew on. He loves it. We'll be back for our next set of shots.”
“Wonderful A to Z. We just had our 4th grooming appointment with our skittish, 8 month old Shiba Inu pup. Mindy is so great with her - I was pleased to see the airplane ears when Mikan saw her.
She does a great job with the nail grind and Mikan always smells so fresh and even though she’s shaking, I know she’s happy. And we are happy too!”
“Great service, wonderful staff. Had to run in and buy a new harness. Got it on sale- half price. Conveniently located right next to the dog park. 1 block away from Seger Dog Park.”
“My cats have loved everything I have brought home from here. Every flavor Churu and their favorite toy is the wobble mouse. I come here at least monthly at this point.”
“small store but has a well curated selection of products! prices are comparable to other pet stores in the area. friendly, helpful staff that are not overbearing”
“Maggie is wonderful with my Biewer Terriers and does a great job with their cut. They get excited to see her which means a lot to me that they don’t feel anxious. We sadly moved out of the city but I will always recommend Maggie to anyone looking for a high quality cut for pure bred dogs in the city.
However, the name of the boutique fits the rest of the staff. No one says greets me when I walk in and the front desk girl is always on her phone. They just look up from their phone, scream Maggie’s name, and then go back to their phone. And they are a bit weird about scheduling. I asked if we could just keep the pups on the schedule for every 6 weeks and they said they couldn’t do that nor keep a card on file. You do get a high quality cut but not the best customer service. I guess that’s what you get with a place called “Pet Snobs”.”
“Doggie Style Pet Grooming was wonderful, kind, and informative about products, and on time with drop-off and pick-up. This was my first time for my dog to get groomed, but I will come back again soon.
I LOVE the new store. Lay is perfect with lots of products.”
“Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Anima Pet Supply and was met with absolutely fantastic service. I’m a mom to a four year old GSD, and K was excellent at showing me different foods, explaining what they all stand for, and pointing out some of the best treat makers in town!
She has an abundant collection of all sorts I swear I mentally bought the entire store 😂. Seriously, if you’re someone who loves spoiling your pet, prepare to be tempted by everything in there.
One thing that really stood out to me is how community oriented K is. She addresses everyone by name as soon as she learns it. Usually people mispronounce mine, but she got it right on the nose the first time! That level of attentiveness really says a lot about how much she values the people who come through the door.
She’s also incredibly passionate about her work, and it truly pours out of her. You can feel that this isn’t just a job for her it’s something she genuinely loves. That kind of energy makes the whole experience feel welcoming and personal.
When you visit Anima, you’re bound to leave with great products and a lovely connection moving forward. Ricochet and I will most certainly be returning. You can tell the entire staff is genuinely excited about the service they provide, and that makes such a difference.
And for my fellow GSD owners and enthusiasts Anima has an extraordinary collection of natural animal parts and treats, and the store is very accommodating for large dogs as well. It’s honestly a great spot for anyone with a big pup who likes quality options.”

“Litterpaw takes care of pretty much everything our cats need. Ilya takes care of ordering cases of wet food for us, setting up cat sitting services, and started stocking dry food we like to buy just for us. The store cat Punky Brewster is an icon in the neighborhood, it’s worth a visit just to say hi.”
“Chantel and all of the staff at Doggie Style are amazing!! I have been experiencing a few issues with my dog and Chantel is so knowledgeable about the various products and it has been incredibly helpful. I will never shop anywhere else (unless Doggoe Style doesn’t have what I need)! I’m so thankful for the Doggie Style team!”
“I come here every Monday for a bath and always end up getting treats or wet food, cookies or kibble. They've got lots of options and a helpful staff! Check em out”
“The owner was so personable. Product knowledge was top notch
We learned about catnip for furry gbabies..so organized and great prices. Fun items. Trying to find good home for fostering for pups”
“They have a good variety of fishes available and others. The cleanliness in here is better than some other shops I’ve been. But if you call most likely you won’t get an answer so you kinda have to just go.”
“Great staff who genuinely care about our furry friends and exceptional customer service. You can also volunteer to walk and spend time their lovely rescue pups (fill in a form & leave your ID)”
“We recently moved from Florida and needed to find a new groomer for our poodle. We were out exploring our neighborhood here in Northern Liberties and found Doggy Style Pets. I looked on website and made a reservation for grooming. The rep contacted me about vet records and helped get the info needed from our old vet in FL. Took our baby in today and his haircut was long overdue but he came out looking amazing! I also have to say all the groomers we used in FL charged a premium for poodles but DSP doesn't have anything like that and the total cost was about 1/2 the price of what we used to pay in FL.. Great service and a great haircut. We will be back!”

“I don’t even know where to begin—this review is long overdue. I absolutely love Pit Stop HQ, and so does my dog, Pluto. I’d truly be lost without it.
Pluto has separation anxiety, and my housing situation makes it tough to leave him alone (barking isn’t really tolerated). Pit Stop has been a total game-changer. They make everything so easy. The fact that it’s hourly is a huge plus—I can drop Pluto off for just a couple of hours to run errands without having to pay for a full day, which isn’t the case at many other daycares in the city.
Pluto has an absolute blast every time he goes. The staff is warm, supportive, and just really good humans—friendly, personable, and clearly animal lovers. It’s also become my go-to for boarding, and Pluto treats it like an extra-long daycare session. When I leave him there, I have zero worries about his well-being. I know he’s in excellent hands.
The first time he stayed for a full week, I picked him up and—this might sound small, but it meant so much—he had no eye boogies. That’s never happened unless someone was gently cleaning them for him. That level of care says it all.
They’re also super accommodating about Pluto’s picky eating habits, including all the little accoutrements I add to his food. And most of all, I know they love him—and that matters.
The pricing is fair, the flexibility is unbeatable, and the love is real. This place is the shit. Thank you, Pit Stop HQ, for taking such good care of my guy.”
“Today was my first time visiting this Petco location. My grandson had saved up money and wanted to buy items for his new ferret. The first associate to help us was Will and I must say the service we were provided was beyond EXCEPTIONAL. It's nice to enter an establishment and be assisted without hesitancy and with kindness. Thank you Will!!! Because of you l, we will be back!”
“Very helpful staff! Was looking to fill a small 5 gallon aquarium and they helped me pick a frog, rather than a fish as it was low maintenance and not interesting for my kids. Double checked everything they told me online and it was spot on.”
“Adopted my baby boy through them & it was the best experience ever!! Healthy cats and great staff. Everyone was really kind & answered all my questions for vets, diet, etc. Definitely check them out!”
“Absolutely an incredible experience. Kim who was the head at Wet nose rescue was so nice and made the experience of adopting our new dog a great one. Definitely recommend them!”
“I'm embarrassed it took me this long to write this review because Doggie Style Pets is such an obvious five-star business. I've been making a conscious effort to show love to the local places that make our neighborhood special, and this one absolutely deserves it.
I've been bringing my dog Archie here for grooming for nearly four years, and I've never had a bad experience. The groomers do an excellent job, and Archie always comes out looking great, happy, and proud of his fresh haircut. He has a lot of energy and isn't always the easiest customer, but the team is patient, thoughtful, and clearly cares about the animals they work with. When Archie was a puppy, he would get nervous walking past the store. These days, he's largely outgrown that fear and seems to know that his glow-up is worth the trip.
I've compared their grooming prices with those of larger chains like PetSmart and found Doggie Style's pricing fair and competitive. What sets them apart is that you're supporting a local Philadelphia business that genuinely takes the time to get to know its customers and pets.
Beyond grooming, the store carries a great selection of treats, food, toys, shampoo, and other pet supplies. The staff is knowledgeable, approachable, and always willing to answer questions. They also frequently have rescue dogs available for adoption, which is always a highlight and a wonderful resource for anyone looking to add a dog to their family.
One thing I'd recommend is booking grooming appointments in advance. Their reputation is well deserved, and appointments can fill up a few weeks out. I've always appreciated that they'll sometimes call when an earlier opening becomes available.
We've recommended Doggie Style Pets to countless people over the years. People regularly stop us at the dog park or on neighborhood walks to compliment Archie and ask where he gets groomed. Doggie Style Pets on Spruce is always our recommendation.
In a city full of options, it's the rare business that earns your trust year after year. Doggie Style Pets has done exactly that.
Thank you for taking such great care of Archie over the years. We're lucky to have you in the neighborhood!”
“Queenies Pets has been such a gift to both me and my girl, CoCo. Knowing she’s with people who truly love dogs and treat them like family gives me so much peace of mind. Mike and Dani are both wonderful with her — patient, caring, fun, and clearly animal people through and through. CoCo comes home happy, tired, and loved, and that makes this mama one very happy customer. I’m so grateful to have found Queenies Pets and the amazing people behind it. Highly recommend! 🐾❤”
