I was a little hesitant at first to have to board my seven month old puppy-- she's very attached to me and has anxiety, so I wasn't sure what to expect! But, I'm so glad I found Cayce and Doggy Strides. We did a tour to see the place and have my puppy get introduced. We then did an overnight test and it went great! So great that I had no hesitations about having Cayce watch my pup while I went away on vacation about a month later. I looked forward to Cayce's daily (p)updates with photos to give me peace of mind that my pup is in the best hands while I am away.

We had our one and a half year old Golden Retriever (Harper) stay at Doggy Strides for eight days while we were away on vacation. I truly love my dog with all my entire heart, so finding a great place for her was super important to me. I began researching boarding locations about three months before our trip. I found some local non-crated boarding locations that had good Google reviews in my area; however, they would not accommodate large dogs. I did not want Harper locked up in a crate for most of the day. I was also considering an in-home service, but Harper is active and having someone over to our house a few times a day would not meet her required level of energy. I looked on the Main Line at very expensive boarding locations that had different add-on packages (swimming, doggy day care, daily updates, 15 minute one-on-one time). I did not get the feeling (especially based on the add-on packages) that Harper would truly be loved and cared for. I found Doggy Strides at the recommendation of our dog trainer. Cayce has been amazing to work with. Her home is a loving and active location for Harper. Harper had an amazing time while we were away, and I felt confident she was in great care. She has been sleeping all day today from all her play time at Doggy Strides. I am truly thankful I found Cayce and her family and will use her for future vacations. Her prices are extremely reasonable for the service she provides. You can truly tell she cares about animals. Knowing Harper was in her and her family’s loving care made my vacation all that much better. If you love your dog, consider checking out Doggy Strides. Thanks Doggy Strides for coming into my life at the perfect time!
My dog stayed with this company for three days and I couldn’t say enough great things! I received pictures each day updating me on all of my dogs activities. She had such a great time and I could relax on my trip knowing she was in great hands. She had free range and access to a large yard during the day. She was only crated at night upon my request. They were even flexible with keeping my dog an extra night when my flight was delayed until 1am. Couldn’t recommend this company more!
If you take your dog anywhere else, you might believe the earth is flat. Hands down, best place for your 4 legged family member to stay while you're gone.
Oh Alex thank you kindly for your awesome review! Your review helps make my little biz’s world go round! We can’t wait to care for your fur babe again soon!
We had a wonderful experience with Doggy Strides! We were very nervous to leave our dog so soon after we adopted him. Cayce was so sweet, calm, and gentle with our Sammy that she put our worries at ease. She has a beautiful home and property for the dogs to enjoy. We loved getting pictures and updates twice a day. Sammy made some great new fur friends and was treated like part of the family. We will definitely use Doggy Strides again!
We had our puppy stay overnight for two nights during our wedding, and we had a wonderful experience! Our puppy had so much fun and we got photos sent to us periodically. We will 100% use this service again. Wonderful folks! Kind, personable, very reasonably priced. No complaints!
It was our first time being separated from our 10 month old Molly and Cayce & her team provided such wonderful care. Superior service all the way around & we couldn't be happier. Will definitely be using Doggy Strides again in the future.
Awe thank you so much JoAnne for your rave review! Your Molly girl is quite a gem and we look forward to spending much more time with her over the years to come ❤️🐾
A long overdue post from our family to Cayce and her staff at Doggie Strides. A hidden gem in the world of pet care! We found Cayce and her team over 2 years ago and have never had to look any further. Cayce provides a care and personal service like no other. She has a true pet luxury resort. Truly a pet B&B for our Miss Nala, one filled with personal touches to make her feel right at home. Nala always greets us upon our return with a wagging tail and a fresh brushed coat!! Thank you Cayce and team.
Awe these words mean the world to us and they fill our hearts with joy! Seeing Ms Nala happy is the greatest reward! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and we absolutely can't wait for our next slumber party with your furry gal!
Our pups really enjoyed their time at Doggy Strides! And I really appreciated all the updates and photos showing how much fun they were having! Thanks again!
Awe thank you so much Lisa! Your pups were a real treat to have around and we look forward to hearing about your next vacation 🐾😃
Caysie was amazing with our corgi! I highly recommend using her for your dog! She sent updates while we were away and treated him as if he was her own. We will definitely be using her again!!!
