Our Mission:

To deliver premium, transparent, and reliable pet care, guided by our commitment to safety, well-being and compassion. We aim to ensure that high-expectation pet parents feel confident trusting us with what matters most.

Em's PAWSS was founded in Philadelphia with a goal to provide each client with the most trustworthy and high-quality boutique homestyle pet care imaginable. We offer an elevated experience with our all inclusive, roam-free approach whether your pup is here for a day of play or an extended stay. We want our clients to have peace of mind knowing their fur-baby is in loving, dependable hands.

We strive to uphold a safe and comforting environment for each pet by personalizing care plans to meet their individual needs which include complimentary perks & upgrades to keep them fulfilled and content during their stay. Alongside our pursuit to provide prime pet care, it’s important to us that your pup is stress free and receives quality R&R which we provide through our Fear Free based protocols.

We don't just "watch" your dog, we aspire to have every fur-baby that's in our care feel enriched, safe, happy & at home which is why our cozy environment is the perfect blend of play & stay while you're away!

Millie is honestly very upset every time I have to bring her home because she has such a good time at Em's PAWSS.
