Our dog Buster couldn't be more ecstatic when we tell him we are taking him to Tucker Pup's. The facility and the staff are amazing and makes us feel good to know when we are at work Buster is getting the best care and having tons of fun.

Hi Joel,
You have a great operation. I can't tell you how great I feel leaving Riley in your care. He absolutely loves being there....and he loves you too!
- Sheila Hamilton
We love Tucker Pups!! Sto and Vinnie LOVE coming here. We\'ve been coming here for a long time and our doggies love it! We never have to worry about our dogs getting hurt or not being supervised. They always come home happy and VERY TIRED. We love the staff who remember us and our dogs by our names and are always excited see our pups. Thank you!

I adopted my dog (a pekingnese) a couple of years ago. She\'s great with me but sometimes she can be difficult with others. Plus she needs time to warm up to other dogs. I wanted her to go to daycare to help socialize her. The staff at Tucker Pups took time with her and I am very comfortable leaving her in their care. I recommend Tucker Pups to every dog owner I meet.

We have been bringing our dog, Murphy Chandler to your daycare regularly for about 2 months now. We started to do it over the winter months when we noticed he was getting a little cabin fever without going to the dog park every night. We had planned to just do it over the winter.
We have found that the daycare has done so much for him that we are going to continue bringing him year round. He is more confident now, his behavior is better and he is all around a happier puppy. We tell him Tucker Pup's and he runs right for his carrier all ready to go!
Our experience with Tucker Pup's has been outstanding. The staff is so accommodating and we are very comfortable leaving Murphy in your care. We just wanted to say thanks for such a great experience!
Thanks for everything!

I rescued Tashi a month ago and she was classified by the rescue organization as a \"wallflower\". She has been coming out of her shell, though, and each visit to Tucker Pup\'s for day care she seems happier and more confident. From the beginning she was fine with other dogs, it was people she feared. I so appreciate the efforts the staff at Tucker Pup\'s has made to bring her out of her shell. Her big bushy tail is now up and wagging more often than tucked between her legs.
I occasionally have to travel for work and Tashi will be boarding here when I do. She had her first grooming here and came home smelling sweet and oh, so soft to pet! And we start obedience classes here in April. I feel like Tucker Pup\'s is a partner in helping Tashi have a beautiful new life.
I have been taking my dog Hank to Tucker Pups since he was very little, about a year and a half. He goes for daycare, boarding and grooming. I continue to be very pleased by Joel and his staff. From short notice situations, to explaining things to me, the Tucker Pups crew has been great. I highly recommend this Activity Center and know that your dog will love it.
Thanks Tucker Pup\'s!

Just wanted to say thanks again to Tucker Pup's for holding Bruno's place and welcoming him back so warmly this morning after his unfortunate absence. His tail went up and started wagging furiously the minute I opened the door to let him out in your parking lot this morning and Banana was right there to greet him too. It means a lot to me that he was able to come back and play - he was 'out of commission' after his knee surgery for so long and I know he was genuinely missing his playtime and friends at TP's.

I have been taking my little monster Ozzie to Tucker Pup's for about a year. The staff are awesome, as they do a great job and really love the dogs. We tried other daycares and felt they were concerned only with filling up their facilities. Tucker Pup's provides a safe environment for your dog, and they always go above and beyond for every customer.

We have been so pleased with Tucker Pup's! We first started taking Penelope there when we were in a bind for winter holiday boarding, but she loved it so much that we've been sending her for daycare twice a week now. She's definitely a HIGH energy dog, and we feel guilty leaving her in our small apartment when we go to work and school. Penelope burns off so much energy at Tucker Pup's, though, that now she's much more mellow even during her 'off days,' not to mention very happily exhausted when she gets home from daycare. She loves the staff, and they are all wonderful with dogs. Tucker Pup's has certainly made our lives easier, and made Penelope's life more fun!
Thanks for everything,
- Allison Miles-Lee
Just a quick follow-up to our prior review last year. Tuckers continues to be Murph\'s favorite place of all time -- the staff members are all outstanding. They really get to know each dog and fill you in on funny/memorable things they did throughout the day. As we said before, there are some great places in the city to send your pup, but you just can\'t argue with the fact that you\'ve found the right one when your dog starts whining from blocks away before he is dropped off in the morning and is happy as a clam (well, a tired clam) when you come to pick him up...
I just noticed that Tucker Pup\'s has a whole lot of filtered 5-star reviews. Yelp filters reviews when reviewers only have a handful of reviews... it doesn\'t mean they\'re not legit, but they don\'t appear on the main page and don\'t get factored into the overall rating for the business. If they were factored into their overall rating they\'d probably have a 5-star average! You can view them by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the link.
I am SUCH a big fan, I recommend you to anyone who will listen. I actually just told my sister's friend Jenny about you, so she may be calling. She has a puggle, too.
Thanks for taking such good care of my best girl!

I just wanted to let you know that Tucker Pup's provides excellent service to both Carlo and to us. When we bring Carlo in, he is already excited BEFORE he gets out of the car. When we come in, he is wiggling to go play... he knows where to go, he goes in without looking back and he IS wiped out at pick-up time. That says alot to us. I am always concerned that he does well and behaves himself, but I always get good feedback. When I say 'Carlo,' your staff always says good things about him.
Your attention to customer service is excellent... So when asked about grooming, daycare and overnite boarding, please know that Ruben and I DO refer people to Tucker Pup's.
Regards,
- Theresa and Ruben Cantu
Hey, Joel!
Rosie is always so tired after daycare - we love it!

We are going to be moving back to Philly in the next few weeks so sadly, Stella won't be coming to Tucker Pup's anymore for day care. We will be boarding her this weekend, but after that we are Philly bound.
Karl, Stella, and I want to thank you for your amazing customer service and the extremely special care you provided Stella. We never worried about her when she was at day care and her excitement to come every day was beyond evident. All of your staff are incredibly well trained in dealing with both humans and canines :)
We give our highest recommendation to Tucker Pup's and we have told everyone we know in Chicago to use your facility. Thank you again for all that you do. If only you would open a store in Philly!
Our best,
Rinad, Karl, and Stella Schweitzer
The people at Tucker Pup's love my dog Pooder and take great care of him. Today was a lousy day for me (we are moving) and I could see that Pooder was getting anxious because of the changes in his environment. I gave Joel at Tucker Pup's a call and he squeezed Pooder in for day care right away.
Pooder loves to go to Tucker Pup's, and I love knowing that he is happy, safe, and well tuckered out.
Thanks again,
- Dan and Cecilia Roscigno
We found Tucker Pup's through Yelp and couldn't be happier. Our dog loves going to daycare and is very tired afterwards. We also board him there when needed and they are very flexible. He also gets groomed there. On the weekends, I've dropped him off for an hour or more if I have to run errands and get the same great service.
In all, I trust Tucker Pup's 100% with my dog. He's been going there since being a puppy and continues to this day. They provide great overall service for my family. I have recommended them to my neighbors and even my vet without any reservations!
Our dog Penny is much more of a chill dog who'd rather hang out with people than other dogs, but we wanted to try out day care to help her develop her social skills a little bit. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure she likes it here. The first time I dropped her off I think she freaked out and thought it was another animal shelter and I was abandoning her (tear!) and went absolutely nuts when I picked her up.
But the second time I came to pick her up, she wagged her tail for a second when she saw me, but then ran around the room again and said hello to another dog. I think she's adjusting ok. :-)
On the business end of things, everything is super easy with their electronic booking and confirmation system, the prices seem comparable to other day cares we looked in to, and everyone at the front desk is super friendly (especially Anne, who is always there in the morning).
There always seem to be plenty of staff watching the dogs and it doesn't smell like pee or anything (the place does smell like dog...but what do you expect?). I feel like she's well taken care of when she's there.
Dear Joel, Jen & Staff ~
How lucky we are to have you! Hampton has been coming to Tucker Pup's since March when he was almost 3 months old. I know he loves it because he jumps out of the car and runs to the door to go in!
Thank you all for treating Hampton like he was your own dog.

Yates and I wanted to tell you how pleased we are with Tucker Pup's. We are especially grateful to a girl who went above and beyond for us on Sunday morning. I thought that daycare opened at 7am, but when we got there, I realized that was not the case. The girl working that morning heard Yates barking outside, and came out and saw that I was rushing to get to work. She let Yates in early and everything was fine. Please thank her again for me.
Sincerely,
- Erik Haney
I can't say enough about Tucker Pup's. On very short notice, I was in a situation where I needed to leave my three-month old puppy in doggy daycare. As a first-time adult puppy owner, I was a bit nervous to do this. Fortunately, I found Tucker Pup's. It's not easy leaving a puppy with strangers, but from the moment I called to the moment I arrived at Tucker Pup's, Joel and his team put me at ease. They were very patient, understanding and gave me updates with each phone call I made to them that day. I was impressed by their genuine care for the dogs, professionalism and knowledge of each dog's name and personality. From that day on, both my dog and I have been very satisfied with Tucker Pup's. For my dog, it's like home away from home. In fact, I was so impressed with their team, facilities and care that I signed her up for their Polite Polite class. This, too, gets rave reviews in my book!
Thanks to Tucker Pup's, I know that when I leave my dog with them, she is in good care.

I take my wild Aussie here every week for daycare. They are very good with her as she is extremely high energy. This past weekend I tried their grooming for the first time. They did a phenomenal job and used the right shampoo as she often breaks out after a wash.
Thanks!
- Jessica Anderson
I seriously don\'t know what I would do without the great staff at Tucker Pups. I have been taking my dog, Teddy, there for almost a year now and of course Teddy loves going! I take Teddy there weekly for daycare and we board him with Tucker Pups at least once a month. My boyfriend and I have strange schedules and we sometimes have to travel out of town quickly. Tucker Pups always accommodates our needs, even when they are last minute. Not only do I love the staff, but I love how much they love Teddy. I also get Teddy groomed and I have been 100% satisfied. Thanks Tucker Pups!

Hi Joel,
I wanted to let you know you and your staff are doing a great job with Oscar, and he's exhausted after he comes home. I can hardly wake him up in the morning. (With our previous daycare, I would have to still play with him for a while after I got home from work).
Thanks again,
- Julie Jun
Hi Joel,
Thank you for all you guys do. You pick Krymson up, wear her out, then drop her off. I know she has such a better and happier day there than stuck in my apartment all day. You end up making my day as well! :)
Thank you again!
