Our commitment to providing a clean, cage-free, and playful environment ensures your furry friends are happy, safe, and cared for 365 days a year. Here’s the story behind DoggieVIP and what sets us apart as your trusted partner in pet care.
The Inspiration Behind DoggieVIP
DoggieVIP was born in 2014, inspired by our beloved dog, Lolita. As pet parents, we experienced firsthand the difficulty of finding a reliable daycare and boarding service that matched our standards. We envisioned a place where pets would receive the same love, care, and attention we gave Lolita. With that goal in mind, we opened our first location in Miami, Florida, with the mission to ensure that every pet who walked through our doors was treated like a Very Important Pet.

We’re open 365 days a year to meet the needs of busy pet parents, ensuring your pets are loved, happy, and safe every day.
Overcoming Challenges with Resilience
While our journey has been rewarding, it hasn’t been without challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought significant hurdles as many clients began working from home and no longer needed daycare or boarding services. Facing the prospect of closing our doors, we turned to our savings, secured loans, and prioritized the well-being of our staff. These difficult choices allowed us to keep our business running during an incredibly trying time.
In addition to the pandemic, natural disasters have tested our resolve. Miami’s frequent hurricanes and storms have disrupted operations, but the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida in 2021 was unparalleled. In Philadelphia, torrential rains, tornadoes, and the overflowing Schuylkill River left one of our locations under six feet of water. The damage forced us to permanently close that facility, cut staff hours, and rebuild from scratch. Despite the setbacks, our community’s support and unwavering belief in our mission enabled us to recover and thrive once again.
Our Commitment to Community
At DoggieVIP, we’re more than just a pet care provider; we’re an active part of the community. We host free events such as annual Halloween parties and Santa Photobooths, bringing pet parents and neighbors together to celebrate their furry friends. Through sponsorships, charitable contributions, and active participation in local events, we strive to give back to the community that has embraced us so wholeheartedly.
