Pet Sitters in Baldwin, NY

I was looking for a doggie day care where my dog, Hudson, a puppy golden doodle can learn to socialize with other dogs in a safe, loving environment. That place is Loving Paws with Michelle. I know Husdon is an amazing hands with Michelle and her team. Hudson is is now 2 yrs old and always comes home a happy and tired doggie. I love that Michelle treats him and cares for him like he is part of her family. I would highly recommend Loving Paws for daycare and boarding services.

I have a beautiful Saint Bernard whom I don't trust leaving anywhere or with anyone when I travel except MICHELLE!!! She truly is a blessing in my life. I was honestly afraid I would never be able to travel again because I didn't know who would take care of my big girl. When I was referred by a friend to Loving Paws Dog Services I immediately fell in love with the whole process. Michelle loves dogs more than anything and has tons of experience caring for all dogs from small to giant breeds for many many years. She is very professional 👏 I had a meet and greet at the house the first time, followed by me leaving my pup at Michelle's house for a play date (only a few hours) to see how she behaved in the new environment along with the two gorgeous well behaved labs (Riley and Luna, I love them too) that live in the house. The following week my dog went to Loving Paws for a whole week. I was updated day and night with how Cozy was doing and also Michelle has two cameras setup both indoor and outdoor. Being able to communicate and watch Cozy was everything to me. Michelle followed all feeding/medication instructions perfectly and walked her endlessly. It really is so nice that she has a beautiful big house with a gorgeous fenced in back yard. I can't explain enough to everyone how this is the perfect and safest place to leave your furry loved ones when you must!!!! Highly recommended a million times over. Thank you Michelle 🙏😁❤

Michele is the ONLY dog sitter I'll use to watch my dog, Layla. I've gone upstate at least two times, and didn't have to worry about my precious pup for not one second. She's caring, extremely careful with my dog, and kept her happy when I was away. On video chat, I could see how comfortable Layla was with her. I nicknamed her "The Dog Whisperer". Lol. I recommend her company to anyone who needs a dog sitter!

Michele is a true animal lover! She’s patient, kind and passionate about the well-being of each dog she sits for. My rescue puppy was wild (nipping, jumping, chewing, barking) and Michele was one of the only people who could handle her during that time - it’s been two years now and we can’t imagine leaving our sweet girl with anyone else. As a busy mom of two young kids, it’s also helpful that Michele regularly offers to pick up our dog at home before we go away and drop her back to us when our trip is over. Such a time saver. Lots of walks, belly rubs and homemade treats for dogs who stay with loving paws. Highly recommend!

Michelle took very good care of my Frankie for a few nights of boarding. I felt very comfortable on my vacation knowing he was in good hands. I got updates and videos and was able to check on him through the nest cam. I will definitely be using loving Paws again

I highly recommend loving paws,Michele is great with my puppy Dakota.she is a rescue puppy and is a little timid around other dogs and people.i tried a few other doggy day cares and they just didn't work out.to hectic and to many dogs for Dakota. Then we found michele and she was great with Dakota from the first meeting. Dakota nows runs to her when we go there.michele has a very nice home setup for the dogs she cares for. And 2 very friendly dogs of her own who welcomed Dakota immediately. I feel very comfortable leaving Dakota with Michele and I highly recommend her.

This is the only place I trust to care for my dogs! I have two boys that can be hard to handle since they require lots of attention and also one has health issues. I can always trust that they will be loved and attended to as I require. Also more importantly their heath needs and medications will be properly given. The delicious home made doggie treats never hurt either. So happy I found Loving Paws!!!!! ❤️🐾

Our 8 month old, small size puppy was well cared for, happy, and had a lot of fun when we were away for a day. She had a great time playing with the dogs of the house who were very tolerant of a crazy pupoy. I highly recommend Loving Paws!

Michele is the only dog sitter we use for our dog Max. I received updates, videos and Max loves being at Michele’s!!! Highly recommend for day care and boarding

My puppy stay with Michael for 9 nights and she was very happy staying with her and her two dogs . Lola get very well with others dogs . Thank you for taking care of my puppy when I went on my vacation .

Boarding your pet at Malibu is like having them visit with family. Lauren and Caroline and their whole team provide the best care and quality attention to you and your pet. We have brought our dogs to Malibu for more than 20 years, and we would never consider taking them anywhere else. Rest assured that while you're away, your fur baby will be cared for and loved in their "home away from home."

Boarded my Yorkie for the first time. The staff took amazing care of him! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him again! Thank you Malibu Pet Hotel!

Best place to board my dogs. They actually are happy when we arrive there and have NEVER come home sick. Their strict rules keep their place safe and healthy. Been using them for at least 15 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else

This pet hotel has been great so far. We received updates and a photo during my dog's stay and Trina was happy to see us when we came to pick her up

Can’t say enough about the staff there and how much they care about their guests! My dog stresses when away from us and has stomach issues . While at Malibu his stomach was acting up so they called to let me know and said they were going to make him some white rice to help settle his stomach. Love this place and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Malibu is the best place ever. The staff is so caring. Our cats love it there. I highly recommend if you are looking for a safe loving place to leave your pets.

Very accommodating to us and our cat. This was the first time using a pet sitting service. Now we have two kittens, Malibu stepped up and accommodated them as well. Place is clean and they all have a love for animals. We thought Caroline went way beyond what we expected even saying a few minutes after closing when we were late wanted to pick up our cat. Looking forward to going away knowing our cats will be cared for in a bright sunny room that they are allowed to wonder around separately a few Times a day......keep up the great work! Dennis and Mary M.

The best Pet Hotel in the area, great customer service, very clean! my cat and Dogs are always happy to spend their vacations at Malibu, see you soon again 😀 …

Have used Malibu for a number of years now. Our old boy doesn't like other dogs, but likes people. As much as I hate leaving him and know he prefers being at home, I know he's always well taken care of at Malibu when we go away.

Kept our little Scottish straight, Bella with them recently, & also our past but never forgotten Persian, Cookie from 15+ years ago. Both times they were treated like family, couldn't ask for better folks to look after our fur babies while away. From play time, to making sure they're properly fed, grooming all is taken care of. Even get to call or facetime them while your away which makes the distance somewhat better. Keep up the good work.

Gloria/Golda , is a true "one of a kind" caretaker of animals. Her love towards animals is amazing - all the dogs are attached to Golda at the hip. Golda's home and employees provide loving care and attention, and you get to see all the doggies run around the yard, play together and how happy they are!!! Gloria and the team send you photos, videos and updates all the time! Golda's team will do whatever you need! Their services are top notch and Golda has years of experience administering medicine to animals as an animal owner her whole life. Always know my boy is in GREAT hands and to see my boy's activities during his time at Golda's is THE BEST!.

Looking for a place for your pet to stay while on vacation, or just for a short stay ? I couldn’t have found a better place. The care , interaction, patience and communication was excellent. Milo was at his best just like he would be at home. I just googled pet boarding in the area and was fortunate enough to have found this gem, my dog has been here twice already I highly recommend.

I wouldn’t take my dog to any other place it’s a safe fun great atmosphere for your fur baby

Wouldn't have my baby ANYWHERE else ❤️

Michele is the best. We're so grateful that we found someone so experienced and caring to take care of our Millie. We didn't want our girl in a crate/pen, Michele opened her home and heart to make Millie's stay stress free, safe, comfortable and fun. Michele truly loves animals and treats each one in her care like her own. Our girl loved her stay at Michele's, we already have a second stay booked. You cannot go wrong with Michele's Pet Sitting.

Michelle is the best pet sitter! i have never felt so relaxed on a vacation while leaving my baby Toby in her good care. She constantly sends me updates to let me know how he's doing, and Toby is just so in love with her. I would never leave my pups with anyone else but Michelle!

Michele is incredible with animals. She is a caring, compassionate soul and treats every dog with love as if they are her own. Charlie gets so excited to go to his second home at Michele’s and I would never trust anyone else with my baby. Highly recommend, you will love her! ❤️

Michele is incredible at what she does! Ok so if you love your dog, do yourself a favor and give Michele a call. She does this for one reason only, because she loves it. Animals have always been her passion and Michele is truly gifted with the way she is able to interact animals! She has taken such good care of my Mako(chocolate lab) on many occasions. She is absolutely the best!

My little poodle Saydy stayed with her and was so happy staying with Michele and I know this because when I returned to get her she was playing with her pets and jumping and not just moping around missing me. There is nothing better than when you must leave your pet and it is difficult but Michele is loving, caring, attentive and I highly recommend anyone leaving their pet with her. You will never find anyone better than her.

I would highly recommend Michele for all your pet sitting needs. She not only enjoys meeting new pets , but enjoys taking care of them. You will feel very comfortable , an have no worries about leaving your fur babies in Michele’s care.

Micheal is extremely reliable and so so caring when it comes to taking care of other people’s pets. The dogs are so comfortable there and love it so much that some don’t even want to go home. Like my dog. She treats them as her own. And sticks to whatever instructions you give her. If you’re going on vacation, send your dog on vacation too. She’s wonderful.

If you need someone to take care of and love your pet (maybe even more than you do) Michele is the one for the job. She treated my dogs like they were her own. They almost didn’t want to come back home when I went to pick them up! Thanks Michele

Michele has patience and love for all animals. Dogs, Cats, even Lizards. Her home is their home. She has the trust of the many people who's animals she has cared for through the years. I've known her for 10 years. Caring for animals is her passion as well as her job.

Michele is an excellent pet sitter. She puts the safety of your pet first. She is very experienced and caring I recommend her very highly . Wish I could give her more than 5 stars

Owners Lauren and Jimmy create a warm, safe, and super fun environment for our fur babies! Their amazing staff are always super attentive, kind, and loving to the pups (and to us humans)! Hands down, bringing our once anxious rescue puppy, Ruby to Hounds Town Island Park was the best decision we made since adopting her 2.5 years ago! Thanks to all of the excellent care!!!!!!

Brought my pup Sophie for her first day. was impressed by how clean the facility was. The staff all seemed to really love working with dogs. Excited to bring Soph back!

Best dog daycare on Long Island! Huge yard and big spacious playrooms giving the dogs tons of space to let them be dogs! My dogs love it, I bring them all the time

If you care about your dog at all, do not trust their place and their employees’ incompetence. We took our dog here for only the second time for day care and they gave her to the wrong family - which they didn’t even realize until my husband came to pick up our dog 90 min later. They also kept my husband in the dark for 30 min and told him nothing. Apparently they take the dogs’ collars off for “safety” to play so your dog is there with no identification, and this is nowhere in their disclosures. Also, they clearly don’t ask for ID to give your dog back bc they allegedly sent her home with a random dog walker who didn’t know what dog they were picking up. Owner was more concerned with her reputation than that my dog was sent to the wrong house and was missing from their control for over 2.5 hours. I will be pursuing the matter with corporate. UPDATE: The owner of Houndstown Island Park continues to gaslight us in their response below instead of apologizing, again. Also, their response is untruthful as my dog was unaccounted for over 2 hours until we tried to pick her up and she wasn't there. Then staff had to check cameras to find her.

Hounds town is great. My dog , Arthur , always has a great time and is well taken care of. We send Arthur to hounds town for just a day of fun and for boarding when away on vacations. I trust them and always know my dog is in good hands.

Desi loves Hounds Town. Spends many a vacay there while his mom is away. He runs to the door the minute he realizes where we are. Best place for pups! Highly recommend!!! Edited July 2024. Two years later and Desi still loves going to Hounds Town. They are the best!

TERRIBLE experience!! This place is just a MEATPACKING. Left my dog for 6 days. everything is a mystery in this place they don’t show you the installation at all. I trusted them and left my dog there. For 4 days I was calling to check on my dog and they refused to give me any detail of how he was doing or even send a single phone. For a sec I thought my dog was dead. The staff was rude the whole time for no reason like they were picking on me. never again!

I’ve been sending my dog here for the past four years. Each overnight stay and each daytime stay have been great. The crew at Island Park are great and always so accommodating. They have helped me out in emergency situations. I’ve already scheduled a weeklong stay for my pup when we go on vacation. I would recommend Houndstown Island Park to everyone with a cherished pup!

We leave our lovable dog, Mate, at Hounds Town IP every time we are out of town. They always take very good care of him and he is always in good hands when he is with the Island Park crew! Pictures are posted almost every time that we leave on vacation and it’s wonderful to get photo updates every time we are away from him! Highly recommend them!!!

A wonderful place for your dog. Daycare... Overnight... Vacation... They are great for all. They match up your dog with others for playgroups & not just by size but by personality... My girl is more on the bigger side but prefers groups with smaller dogs. The people of Hounds Town recognized this without me telling them. You see the dogs coming in for the day happy to be there & leaving with smiles on their faces. This is the kind of place where you can relax knowing your precious pup is being well taken care of...

Derek has been caring for our dogs for over five years. He provides outstanding service, is reliable, and cares for our fur baby like he was his own. I wish there were more than five stars to give!

Derek is the best! I’ve never trusted anyone besides family to walk my giant Great Dane and was hesitant in beginning. Derek and Moose had an instant connection that put my stress at ease! Now Moose gets excited every time Derek comes over and I have peace of mind having someone so reliable. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough amazing things about Derek and his crew at Beach Buds! When we send our dog there I am confident that he is safe, and having so much fun! He loves playing with all the dogs, and napping with them as well. Derek and his crew ensure that all dogs that come in get along well with all the dogs, which makes us feel so good to send our dog there. They offer a variety of packages to fit your needs and Pick up and drop off options which i use often! They also sell yummy treats, toys and gear! He also offers dog walking services which I know are awesome as well. Definitely worth checking out for your pup!!

The Staff is Amazing they interact with the dogs, Ally picks up at times and brings home my dog. She’s a sweetheart then there’s Lilly she’s loves the dogs and they love her. Then there’s Scott, him and Lilly work together one in the morning in in the afternoon. In my book they are 3 A+ Staff

Great doggy daycare if you live in the area (even if you don’t and need a beach day!) you can always count on beach buds! The owner Derek is very reliable and you can trust that your dog or puppy will be in great hands! Need pick up or drop off in the area? No problem, Derek will try to accommodate you. They will also feed your dog, if needed. My dog loves it at beach buds and comes home happy and exhausted. Clean facility with a great staff, it’s the best place to bring your pooch when you are busy at work or need of a little R&R! 5 stars!

My dog loves beach buds! Derek and his team help me out so much. I am able to go to work for extended hours knowing my dog is safe and well taken care of. I usually don't get out of work until after they are closed so Derek brings my dog home for me so that I don't have to worry. He was even able to help us with our engagement photos so we could have our dog in a few of the pictures. A very valuable business in long beach

They took amazing care of my dog. Lots of one on one attention and updates to my cell during the day. They even groomed him! Stefanie was super sweet and went above and beyond! This was my dog’s first time being left with someone else and he seemed to do great with them. Happy at pick up :) It was super easy to book online just two business days in advance as well which I needed for a last minute trip. Easy to email vaccination records as well.

I can only say/write the best things about Beach Buds Doggy Daycare. Our dog, June, a 1 yo Duck Toller was a 2-3 times a week visitor for over a year (we are now living in Hawaii). She would become very excited when I asked her if she wanted to go to daycare and see Derek. Derek and his staff are friendly, professional, trustworthy and care deeply about the dogs. They offer so many services. I used pick up which was great when I had to go to work very early. I also used dog walking and knew that my dog and home would be safe. I only wish that I could find a dog daycare as special as Beach Buds in Hawaii! We already miss everyone there :-(

My dog Penny started going to Beach Buds right around the time they opened the daycare and we LOVE it! I have peace of mind all day that she's well taken care of and safe and she has the best time playing with all her little friends. Derek and the staff are all wonderful and I know Penny loves them because she jumps out of my arms most mornings because she can't wait to get inside. I highly recommend beach buds to everyone!

Beach Buds is awesome and reliable. I've been using them a few days a week for the past couple years I can can always count on them to take good care of my pup. Sometimes my work schedule causes me to cancel/reschedule walks, and they have always been very accommodating and only ask for 24 hours notice (at the latest). Alyson and Derek are the best and I get notes on every single walk in the their easy to use portal to know how my dog did that day. Highly recommend.

Pawfect for You made our wedding day truly unforgettable by taking incredible care of our babies, Olive and Benji. As this being the first time we left our pups with sitters, we were naturally a bit anxious, but Fiona and Laurie exceeded every expectation. They got our pups dressed, kept them calm throughout the photo shoot and ceremony, and ensured they were comfortable and happy the entire time. Veronica was also extremely thorough in preparation and planning, providing a perfectly mapped-out timeline for the sitters. She was communicative and responsive, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. Knowing Olive and Benji were in such caring hands allowed us to fully enjoy our day. We wholeheartedly recommend Pawfect for You to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog-sitting service. Thank you, Fiona, Laurie, and Veronica, for going above and beyond to make our wedding day complete!

My dog is my baby, I don’t care what anyone’s says, and this company 1000% gets that! Veronica has everything so perfectly detailed and makes sure your fur baby is 10000% taken care of. My golden has bad anxiety and I was so worried( wonder who she gets it from) they did great and helped out so much even when she was being difficult. I can’t thank Veronica and Stephanie (our sitter) enough for helping us have our girl at our special day. Magnolia was our flower girl and Stephanie helped us get pictures and then for the ceremony. They picked her up and brought her to the venue and then back home and made sure she was all settled for the night. They communicate everything the attention to detail, is chefs kiss!! Will recommend Pawfect for you anytime I can. Thank you guys so much. If I didn’t book you guys I wouldn’t have gotten the best pictures that I will cherish forever. Just some photos added to show just how important having your fur baby is at your wedding 🥹🤍

There will never be enough words to say how grateful we are for Veronica & Gerry and how much they made possible for us on our big day. From the very first meeting over Zoom, we could feel the care and attention to detail from Veronica and we felt so incredibly safe leaving our fur babies in her care. Having two senior dogs be part of a wedding of our size, we had a lot of hesitation and worry about the dog sitting, the transportation, and everything else. On top of that, they had never been dogsit by non-family before so it was a new adjustment for us. But no detail was too small and no ask was too big for Veronica & Gerry – they took note of all of our caveats and worries and made sure that we felt comfortable every single step of the way. During our meet & greet, we had a chance to get to know the amazing Gerry and see her interact with our girls in real time– and they couldn't have loved her more! From rehearsal to wedding day to the brunch afterwards, Veronica & Gerry took care of every single detail so we didn't have to – from watching and feeding the dogs to dressing and transporting them and helping with photos, everything went FLAWLESSLY thanks to them. With every moment, you could feel their genuine love and care for dogs and it goes well beyond "just business." THANK YOU for taking care of our babies and allowing us to have the comfort to be so present on our most beautiful wedding day.

Having our fur baby at our wedding was so important to us but we completely understood this could very likely just be a dream. Until we found Pawfect for you! From the very first call I felt so comfortable putting our pup in their hands! The actual wedding day went off better than we could have ever imagined. Lianna was so good with our pup and is seriously a magician!! Her communication and professionalism was amazing and we are SO SO SO lucky to have had her with us on our wedding day. Thank you to Pawfect for You and Lianna for making it possible to have our girl with us on our wedding day!

This is the greatest company I have ever found and I cannot express how much of a wonderful experience it was to work with them for my wedding day. My dog is my child and it was so important for me to include her in every moment possible of my special day; but I had major worries about who would manage her for the day, get her home, and make sure she stayed calm. A quick google search and I found this company. (I also found others but after research, I truly felt this was the best choice and the right value for the cost). From my first phone call with Veronica, I knew I was in the right hands (hey, fellow North Shore Animal League Adopter!). Her questionnaires to learn about my dog were so thorough and thoughtful and her timeline for the day was perfect. When my wedding day came, one of her sitters, Lucy, was assigned to be my dog's sitter for the day. Lucy was AMAZING. She was so kind and sweet and took such amazing care of my girl, I never once worried the entire day while she was there. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to include their dog in their wedding day to have the most amazing, stress-free, experience ever. Thank you Lucy and Veronica!!

Pawfect for You is a very professional and accommodating company to work with. We used them to bring our pup to our daughter’s wedding so she could be part of the services and be in pictures. Of course we were nervous about allowing a stranger to transport our baby to and from and taking care of her. When we met the individual, Ronnie, who was assigned to her care, all our concerns immediately disappeared. Our pup fell completely in love with her. Ronnie was amazing. She calmly managed our pup even through the chaos of a wedding. The company provided great suggestions on how best to handle the day. It all worked out perfectly! We got amazing pictures that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Pawfect for You!

If you're considering having your furry friend be a part of your big day, look no further than Pawfect for You. Veronica arranged for Tara to be there, who was an absolute lifesaver at our wedding, ensuring that our beloved Bailey was not only included but pampered throughout the entire event. Tara's dedication to Bailey's well-being was remarkable. She moved with us, ensuring Bailey had the chance to greet guests and be a part of the celebration without us having to worry about her care. One of the most invaluable aspects of Tara's assistance was during the photoshoot. With her expert handling, she effortlessly captured Bailey's attention, allowing us to get those perfect shots with our furry family member. It was a relief to have someone so capable ensuring Bailey was comfortable, fed, walked, and had all her needs met throughout the day.Tara's presence not only eased our minds but also added a layer of joy to our wedding. She also made it a point to send us pictures of not just Bailey but Bailey with the wedding background!

Gery was amazing to work with and coordinate getting our dog Bailey to and from the wedding venue. We felt very comfortable and knew Bailey was in good hands! Gerry was super responsive and helped make our day even more special! We definitely recommend if you’re looking for dog transportation services!

I can't thank Pawfect for You enough for the incredible care they provided our dog on our wedding day. Veronica and Stephanie went above and beyond to ensure that our furry friend was well taken care of, allowing us to focus on our special day without any worries. From the outset, their professionalism and punctuality were evident. They arrived exactly on time and were completely prepared, making sure that every detail was covered. Their attention to our dog's needs was exceptional, and their warm, caring demeanor was truly reassuring. It's clear that Veronica and Stephanie are passionate about what they do, and their dedication shone through in every interaction. We were able to enjoy our wedding day knowing that our beloved pet was in the best hands possible. The sent picture updates throughout the day as our dog was picked up and dropped off and we felt so reassured. Thank you, Pawfect for You, for making our day even more special. Your service exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful for the peace of mind you provided. We highly recommend your services to anyone in need of top-notch pet care!

Our experience with Pawfect for You was incredible. Veronica was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable right away about the care of our dog. The sitter we were matched with, Jess, did a fantastic job of keeping our pup happy all day long! She was his favorite person on our wedding day (maybe had to do with the treats) and followed every request we made perfectly. It meant the world to us to have our dog in our wedding and to know he was safe and cared for while we were away from home that night. Veronica was SO detailed, from the big things like the timing of arrival for the sitter, down to the type of water we wanted our dog to be drinking. She truly cares for the couples she works with and their fur babies. Our day would not have gone as well without the help of Pawfect for You!
