I can't recommend this sit enough! Andrea was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. She made sure I had all the info needed to navigate the space and even let me park in her garage. Guijo is such a special pup. She loves love, is eager to go on hikes and outings and is an all around 5* companion. I definitely hope to sit for Andrea and Guijo again. Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed a quiet and relaxing time at Francis and Gail's beautiful home outside Athabasca. Gail left excellent instructions and was available by phone if necessary. Si and Jagar are very well-behaved pups that love sunning themselves on the deck and protecting the property from the many squirrels that live in the trees! I would highly recommend this sit, and hope I have the opportunity to return!
James and Kirsten are lovely, and provided a thoughtful and thorough briefing. This house sit gives you a sunny enclosed private courtyard in an unexpectedly peaceful green leafy haven in London, yet close to amenities e.g. a supermarket just 5 minutes’ walk away. Jackson is a really lovely sweet-natured cat, who was a pleasure to look after. A gem of a housesit in London and I would happily house sit for James, Kirsten and Jackson again.
This was my 3rd in a series of housesits spanning 5 weeks in Scotland. I had the unfortunate luck of catching a virus during my 2nd sit, but Phyllis and Alex were perfectly welcoming and kind enough to pick me up in Inverness after weather caused my train to be significantly delayed, then took me out for brunch on the way back which was much appreciated. They have a cosy modest home in a quiet neighbourhood, only a short walk from downtown Muir of Ord. The co-op is close-by so getting supplies was no problem. I didn’t get out to explore as much as I intended due to uncooperative weather affecting transit, but I was able to enjoy some of the local walks when the rain slowed down now and then. Bink and River are gorgeous cats with very different personalities. River prefers her freedom; roaming the garden (which is large and absolutely lovely) during the day, and spending nights in the shed that has been fitted out to accommodate her. Bink can be a snuggler, when he’s in the mood, and appreciates a good game of chase the string. He needs to be kept in the house as much as possible due to having luxating patellas. He will attempt to escape though, so be prepared for a limping cat when he returns. As this was a fairly lengthy sit, I feel that I had a true experience of the transition from autumn to winter in the Highlands. Thanks Phyllis and Alex!
We loved our sit at Jane & Dave and can highly recommend staying with their lovely dogs Ron & Buzz. Both dogs are very cute, calm and absolutely heartwarming. Every morning, we took them for a 45-minute walk and they were always behaving very well, making the walk very enjoyable. Dave & Jane were also extremely friendly and hospitable. They fetched us up from the main station, cooked dinner for us and made us feel welcome from the very start. Thank you so much and we hope to see you someday again - either in England or in Germany.
Loved Antiqua, Lake Atitlan, Andrée’s home and, of course, sweet complex Pomme. She is full of energy and easy to love. Pomme needs two walks a day to keep her mentally sharp but not if it’s too warm! She is also happy to run in the yard and chase balls, attack a palm frond or aberrant squirrel, and snuggle on the couch. She has her mischievous moments being just a year old, but also her funny and sweet times as well. We had a wonderful five week stay. Antigua is a very unique place to explore, and the temperature was heavenly. We would love to return.

Fang is so wonderful. Our dog loved her time with Fang during the holidays. Fang is thoughtful and caring. She sends great updates and photos along the way. I would recommend Fang for anyone looking for a sitter...she is the best!
Fang is an amazing, kind, and patient dog lover. She has watched my dog a couple of times now and Fang has made me feel at ease each time. Fang took amazing care of my pup for about 3 weeks. She sent me daily photos and frequent updates on how Coffee was doing. I was able to fully enjoy my trip without worrying about my pup. It was also the longest time I’ve been away from her and I truly appreciate Fang for taking care of her so well. I highly highly recommend Fang!
We enjoyed a worry-free 12-day getaway while our Bruce the Chihuahua did the same — at Fang’s! This was our third time boarding with Fang, and as always, she took exceptionally good care of Bruce, giving him both the special attention, group gatherings, and the quiet downtime he sometimes needs. Fang is an exceptional, experienced, and caring sitter: Bruce trusts her and adores her, and we couldn’t be happier! Love the daily pics and reports too.
Fang is truly an angel. We’ve enjoyed countless vacations and getaways, knowing that our lil pomeranian is safe and happy as can be at Fang’s! She provides adorable photo updates every day and helps us keep our dog on her routine. Truly no idea what we’d do without Fang.
Fang is exceptional. She has been walking and boarding our dog for a few years now and we are always so happy to see our fur baby so well taken care of and by such an awesome human. Fang is thorough, attentive, caring, and also a funny and chill person to chat with - always a plus. We are so lucky we found Fang!
Fang took care of my dog Noah for about two days. She was wonderful. She was very quick to respond and sent frequent updates about Noah with high-quality pictures and videos. I always felt that Noah was very well taken care of. I'd highly recommend Fang and plan on contacting her again in the future!
Fang is simply the best. She is warm, kind, and a joy to work with. It is so comforting to know that someone as conscientious and dog-loving as Fang is taking care of our furbaby. Our dog, Nellie, loves her and so do we. I give Fang my strongest recommendation!!
Fang is literally the best dog sitter in the world. She’s the dog sitter for people who are anxious about their dogs and need lots of pictures and communication. Also just a lovely person!
I’m so lucky I found Fang, and I always feel like my pup Henri is well taken care of with her level of care and expertise (leash reactivity, ear infections, etc..). My dog always comes back happy and exhausted after his stays with her. Recommend, x1000
Highly highly recommended! She was professional every step of our dog's stay. This was our 4th time with her and we are really looking forward to keep working with her in the future.
My dog absolutely loves Sara. That is enough proof that she takes amazing care of her. Sara will send me videos and photo updates all day giving me the peace of mind that she’s happy. Going away is so much less stressful knowing that Myllee will be in the best care. I Highly recommend PetCarebySara.
Sara has been my last minute life saver for the longest time. For my spontaneous work trips, and weekends away, she’s always been there for my Nala, and my pup comes back very happy. You’ll be amazed by how meticulously she cares for your dog, and how attentive she is to your dogs specific needs. I always find myself not being able to thank Sara enough.
Highly recommend Sara for pet-sitting! I ran into her while exercising my pup weeks ago and it was clear from the beginning that she LOVES the pups she watches. She’s very attentive and engaging while they’re out. I needed a very last minute sitter due to a family emergency. Luckily, I had Sara’s number and she’s a quick walk away. She was amazing while I was gone. I got lots of photos and videos daily and my girl got so much attention and exercise. Sara has a great setup at home too. It’s clear she’s not just someone who keeps pets. She really loves and cares for your beloved animals when they are with her. She’s awesome.
I am so glad I found Sara. She was beyond attentive and caring for my two dogs. She went out of her way to give them all the necessary medication and extra attention that they needed when they were anxious. I cannot recommend her enough.
Sara is an absoutely great dog "aunt". She treats the pets that she cares for like her own. She is extremely reliable and had great communication while I was out of town providing updates on my pup.
Sara is amazing!! I had a scare with using a Wag sitter prior to a long 2 week trip and Sara was able to accommodate my leave within a week's notice. She took on all of my dog's needs almost immediately and assured me that he was in good hands. My dog is also a German Shepherd so a big dog with lots of needs. Sara is incredible and I highly recommend her to anyone for short or long term sitting/boarding needs.
Absolutely wonderful experience with Sara! She was super flexible on timing for my drop off and very communicative. Very fair pricing and great location right next to the park. I’ve seen her handle dogs before and I didn’t even question who would watch my dog during my travels. Please book services with Sara!
**5-Star Review for PetCarebySara** I can’t recommend PetCarebySara enough! My wheaten terrier, Hudson, can be a bit reactive, but Sara’s patience and understanding have made a huge difference. She takes the time to ensure he feels comfortable during walks and while I’m away. Every time I return home, Hudson is calm and happy, and I love receiving updates and photos. If you need a compassionate pet sitter or dog walker, look no further. Thank you, Sara, for treating Hudson like your own!
My four-year-old pit mix Albert had a wonderful stay with Sara! When he first started going out for walks with her, I warned her that he's mostly aged out of making new friends, but it turned out I didn't give him (or her) enough credit: during his stay, she introduced him to several dogs with whom he played and went on pack walks, which I was truly thrilled to see. I also appreciated Sara's regular updates and videos, which made my first extended time away from Albert in… quite a while… much more bearable. (My brother who works at a "pet resort" tells me they charge extra for "pupdates" like these… Sara, don't read this parenthetical.) After I picked him up, we barely got to the front door of her building before he sat down and refused to walk any further—his own version of a five-star review. I'm looking forward to working with Sara again!
Sara is just incredible. She is so on top of her communication and is helpful in every way! She got my dog walking trained on a leash and now I don't get pulled down the block anymore. Always use her for boarding, I know my doggo is safe and loved and looked after
Zoe is great! She had no issues with our pup who is a little anxious sometimes and requires medications and love. She sent frequent updates to us while away, with cute pictures and blurbs on how she did that day. We will definitely continue to use Zoe's Pet Playhouse for boarding our dog and recommend her to other pet owners.
Zoe is awesome! She really cares and does a fantastic job not only taking care of your pet but updating you on how they are doing. Once Lomy met Zoe, I knew he was in the best hands, because he was taken to her the first time, he saw her. Lomy spent a few nights with Zoe, and she sent pictures of him every day which made me comfortable while being away from him. I strongly recommend Zoe to take care of your pet!
Zoe is a wonderful pet sitter. She was able to look after my cat on short notice, and even pick up and drop off. My cat was nice and happy when she came home and I even got some cute photos throughout the day!
Zoe is incredible--on short notice, I needed someone to watch my dog and I have NEVER left her with anyone but my family (tbh after this, I am only calling her, family texts too much with too many questions). After contacting a few people, within the hour, Zoe responded and we were able to set up a phone call and meet and greet. She was so flexible--came to my apartment in Brooklyn, met my dog, and stayed for as long as I needed her to in order to explain all of my dogs' needs and my (admittedly) excessive anxiety and moms guilt about leaving her. I ghosted everyone else and was fully set. She sent me updates whenever I texted her, detailed descriptions of the day/walk/events, and pictures of my dog. Also, my dog really LOVED her and she's a tough critic. She truly went above and beyond--you can also tell she genuinely cares for your pet. This isn't just a temporary job for her--this is her full time job and passion. Would give more stars if possible. If you come across this review, do not hesitate to hire her as immediately as I did.
Zoe is sweet, caring, and attentive. Goes above and beyond to care for my golden retriever puppy. I couldn’t be happier!
Excellent Service. Great with my little Maltese. I recommend.
Can't say enough great things about Esther as a person & pet sitter! I was recommended to her through my Vet, Dr. Berg in Tribeca, where Esther was working as a Tech-vet. She is incredibly knowledgeable about animals, but most importantly is trustworthy, reliable and takes amazing care of my cat, Bella, with every visit! I highly recommend her!
Esther is amazing with our cats. I first met her through her work as a vet tech and helping to keep my cats calm doing their annual visits. Later I was delighted to learn she offered pet sitting services. Esther take care of our cats several times/year—from two days to two weeks. My cats are my babies and I have peace of mind knowing that Esther is taking care of them. I’ve referred her to several friends who have also had an amazing experience with Esther and PetSitty.
Esther is the best and our cats adore her. Plus, her professionalism and attention to the cats are unmatched—and we know our pets are in good hands because of Esther’s background as a vet tech. 5 stars!
We have utilized PetSitty’s services since 2017 and we wholeheartedly recommend Esther to anyone who wants to ensure their pets are in the best hands. Esther is professional and dependable, and also has the biggest heart. She is a veterinary technician and was recommended to us by our veterinarian. She truly cares for our cats, and she goes above and beyond every single time she is with them. We have left the country for weeks at a time and have never worried about our cats for even one second because we know that she is dedicated to their well-being. We can’t imagine our lives without PetSitty.
I can't recommend Esther enough as a reliable, caring, and overall fantastic pet sitter! With a veterinary background and a genuine love for all animals, I never have to think twice about the well-being of my fur children while I'm away. I've even had her take care of my pets through poorly timed illnesses and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure they are cared for with compassion and expertise, all while keeping me updated on them daily. My cats love when she visits and always remember her! Esther is an A+ animal lover, human, friend, and caretaker for your pets, so look no further!
Esther is our go-to pet sitter for our crew of three. She is super reliable and loves on our kittos, giving us SO much peace of mind when we’re away (the cute pictures she sends helps a lot too!). We are so thankful to have found her. Would highly recommend.
Esther is a fantastic petsitter- incredibly caring and always goes above and beyond. She cares for animals full time and somehow still finds time to foster and rescue as well. Any animal would be so lucky to have her care for them!
I’ve been bringing my dog, Gus, here for years and he loves it. He’s an anxious dog, and all the exercise and play helps him relax at home. Danielle, the owner, has gone above and beyond a few times to help us out. She makes it feel more like a community than just a business.
I love pet super nanny! The owner clearly loves dogs and goes above and beyond all of the time (case in point, my dog got into a mess and she gave him a bath free of charge the other day)! Also puts together very fun events such as the annual Halloween party, summer party, and more. Altogether my dog pulls me in every time we go and is exhausted from play when we get back. Five stars!
Danielle and her facility is Superb. I’ve been taking my dog here for the past three years, he needed to be socialized as his breed is known to be Aggressive to other dogs if not socialized. Not only did the Pet Nanny socialize my dog, he completely loves all dogs. Apparently he’s the mayor of the Pet Nanny doggies. I’ve had my dog go to her daycare every day for at least eight months, while I was going back to work after the pandemic. He was never happier. Now that Kobe has a brother, I will be taking the both there. Danielle is great. I’ve boarded my pup there several times as well. I know live in Manhattan and still will drive to brooklyn, theres no there place better than the pet nanny!
This place is lovely! It is run by an owner and employees who adore animals, and you can feel it. When I first brought my puppy, Moush, to doggy daycare, she was shaking and crying. The owner Danielle, told me not to worry, that eventually she would be jumping for joy to come play at Pet Super Nanny. I did not believe her. I thought I might have to give up the idea of doggy day care altogether. But she was right. A month later and Moush barely gives me a second glance when I drop her off. She loves the big, clean space to run and play and above all, she loves Danielle and all of the staff. Thank you!
Danielle and her staff are so good with the dogs! My pup is always excited to go and I trust the staff to keep her safe and entertained. Danielle keeps you updated on any potential issues with your pup (health, behavior changes) which really assured me that she was looking after all the pets in her care closely and with love!
Danielle the owner and her facility are fantastic. My dog Elsa is very anxious and terrified about most things and she thrives there when I have to leave town. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
This is the only place I trust with my dog (and even, at times, my cats). I cannot say enough good things about Danielle and don’t know where to start! Brass tacks: she has a wealth of knowledge regarding ALL pet care, provides first rate services (from daycare to boarding to grooming), maintains high standards (vaccine requirements, facility cleaning, safety) and has great pricing and packages to fit your needs. On top of all that, she truly cares about each dog and their family. Danielle really gets to know your dog and she passes this knowledge on to the rest of her staff. My dog had been extremely anxious (especially after abuse and shelter life) and with Danielle and regular daycare his physical and emotional energy became much more settled. It’s an incredible relief to have someone who I know will be able to take good care of my pet - especially now, when our new quarantine lifestyle has driven our dog’s separation anxiety to an all time high. Additionally, the location itself is awesome. It’s massive, modern, clean and dynamic - so I know that it’s able to handle any kind of dog group and that my dog will always have a good area and dog group to run and play in. The instagram regularly uploads play photos throughout the day which are delightful. Outside of the vet (although Danielle also has vet tech experience!), I’ve never felt the need to go elsewhere for anything pet related. In short: When it came time for me to find a new apartment last year, I deliberately searched in an area that was close to Danielle. We can’t live without her!
My dog Sam loves it here. He runs on in every time we come here and clearly likes the staff a lot. He wags his tail, runs to greet them, and even sometimes makes a little happy noise he only does for me and my partner. Clearly they treat him well and give him a lot of attention. The prices are also fair and they have great packages. This is also the best smelling dog daycare we’ve been to. He doesn’t come home stinky like can sometimes (understandably) happen elsewhere. Don’t be scared by the one star reviews. Most of them seem to have come from the same person or two.
Danielle and her team have gone above and beyond to make Walter (and this new paw-rent) feel safe. He obtained a serious injury at another doggy daycare and I have been skeptical ever since. I appreciate Danielle's thoroughness and the process in place to ensure all dogs are up to date with their vaccines before stepping in the door. I've also noted their patience to introduce new dogs to their new environments (not a one-size-fits-all setup but separated by size and temperament), not to mention the showering of love from the staff! I primarily use their daycare service and boarding services. Walter is slowly but surely gaining his confidence here. Overall I highly recommend! Can't wait for the outdoor area to be in full swing come summer!
My pup has such a great time at Pet Super Nanny! He’s been going for over a year, and he loves coming every week! He’s always wagging his tail when we walk up and gets so excited to see everyone who works there. My pup can be a bit anxious, but the folks at Pet Super Nanny make him feel comfortable.
I can't say enough good things about Jordan's Pet care and how well they take care of my pup Gumbo. From the start, they have been super responsive, patient, and kind with a first time puppy mom, and I'm grateful. Gumbo loves her walker Jack, and I swear she is smiling in every update I receive when she is with him. I love their app, ease of scheduling and canceling visits, and prompt replies to my questions. Highly, highly recommended!
We are very happy with Jordan’s Pet Care! Our dogs absolutely adore our regular dog walker. We have even used Jordan’s while we were away for ten days. Our trip out of town was made even better knowing our dogs were at home with our trusted walker/sitter and we loved getting updates and photos every day. I would happily recommend Jordan’s (and our regular dog walker in particular) to anyone looking for loving care for their pets.
Jordan's pet care is great. All of the walkers are kind and thoughtful and really care about your pet. They're always willing to work through any mishap (missing key, pet hiding, etc) and are very communicative. I've trusted them with my dog for many years now and will continue to do so!
Total professionals - Jordan, Devon and their team (walker Caleb) have taken such consistent care and consideration for our puppy Aaron. Super communicative and responsive to any adjustments or requests they have been an enormous help taking care of our pup. Would not hesitate to recommend, thank you again to the extraordinary team!
Nellie’s treated so well on her walks with Parker. They go above and beyond to make my puppy feel loved and cared for. They don’t just walk my little girl, but also plays with, cleans after and refills food/water. The system for scheduling is very straightforward.
I have been using Jordan’s pet care service for years and could not recommend them highly enough. I have a difficult dog to walk who loves to eat everything on the street and they do great with her. They also are wonderful sitters when we go away, they take great care of my dog and are very respectful to our apartment.
Jordan's was great! They were able to watch my cat on short notice over a holiday weekend. Extremely responsive and pleasant to deal with throughout the whole process of becoming a new client. They took great care of my cat, and I will continue using them!
Jordan's Pet Care sitters have taken wonderful care of our cat. She gets lots of love and attention as well as meticulous attention to our directions about her feeding and litter box.
Jordan’s is fantastic local service that I totally trust to take care of my pets when I’m away. The sitters are always thorough and provide detailed updates, including photos, of their visits. Bruce the cat and I highly recommend them!
I was nervous about finding a cat sitter for my 12 year old kitty - especially since she isn’t always the easiest kitty ;) But Jordan’s Pet Care really put my concerns at ease. After meeting the manager Devon and hearing more about their vetting and probationary process with their sitters, the history of the company/founder and general process, I really felt like these guys love animals and are super respectful of customers’ homes. Jasmine took care of my kitty and am very happy with the updates she provided while I was out of town. They will definitely be my go-to pet sitting service. Highly recommend Jordan’s Pet care!
Jenn is wonderful with my dog, Laika. We recently moved to Brooklyn from Virginia, and I was worried about finding Laika a reliable, kind walker who understands her anxiety and leash reactivity. Jenn has been fantastic with her. Laika absolutely loves her walks, and Jenn writes a detailed report card with pictures for each appointment. In addition to walks, Jenn has been working with Laika on her leash reactivity, and she is making amazing progress. She’s made so much progress that she’s able to go on her afternoon walks with other dogs, which is a huge achievement.
Jenn is part of our family and is our most trusted caretaker of Leo (our Cavapoo). She trained him as a puppy (during the pandemic) and continues to play an indispensable role in his (our) life with daily social walks by her team and the only person Leo boards with when I travel. We appreciate jenn and the entire Flipz Pet Care team. Very strongly recommend!
We love Jenn and her team at Flipz! Came to her after our dog had a traumatizing experience with another walker and she showed endless patience with Turtle, rearranging her schedule when it became clear he needed one consistent walker, and going out of her way to practice consent training to make him feel comfortable. As a trainer herself, she is an incredible walker for any dog who is slightly nervous and we've seen a real difference with Turtle and his behavior. Can't recommend Flipz enough!
I've been working with Jenn for over two years, and she's been a LIFESAVER. I don't know what I would have done during the puppy months without her training--my energetic and smart border collie mix was (is!) truly a handful. We have continued with obedience training (you can never have too much), and she's helped me deal with the reactivity issues that seem to afflict so many dogs who are overstimulated and anxious in the city. Whenever I board her with Jenn, I know she's in the best hands, and she always comes back a better dog! Her commitment to safety and my pup's well being is unparalleled.
We love Jenn and the team at Flipz Pet Care! She's been taking care of my dogs, a Great Dane and a shepherd mix, for years now. Always professional, really good with the pups, and goes above and beyond to make sure they're happy and well taken care of. She also communicates really well. We've used Jenn for overnight visits (in addition to our scheduled daily walks) and have been very happy. I would highly recommend Flipz! They're the best.
Jenn and her team have been walking our dog for almost a year now ever since he was around 5 months old. Flipz Pet Care is 100% reliable and always has pet safety in mind on bad weather days. We have also worked with Jenn for training sessions and she even brought our pup to our wedding so that he could be part of the ceremony. She is very responsive and always lets us know right away if she notices anything strange about our dog's behavior or health when they are out on walks. We could not recommend her more if you are looking for a pet care in downtown Manhattan.
My dog Ellie and I have been customer's of Flipz Pet Care since 2016. I cannot put into words how wonderful Jenn and the other walkers are, how much care they put into their work, how much Ellie loves her walks, how easy it is to work with Flipz Pet Care, how fair their pricing is, how great they are with training, and how confident and at ease I feel when they are providing their services. They are honest, reliable, communicative, and incredibly responsible. Everyone at Flipz Pets is very sensitive to Ellie's needs, making sure I am updated as to her mood and if they notice anything off. They even have an app where they provide a detailed description of the walk including the route, check in and check out time, whether Ellie has done her business, as well as photos (wish I love). Ellie loves her walkers and is so excited when they come in. They provide private and group walks (depending on your preference) which has really helped socialize Ellie. I have had them provide overnight services as well and they are incredible. My home was in perfect condition when they left and I had the peace of mind knowing Ellie was safe and with people who love her. A friend of mine was at my home when a Flipz Pet employee came to walk Ellie. The employee did not know my friend was there and began to cuddle with Ellie (as they always do) saying to her "We have to do a social walk today but I promise next time it will just be you and me and we can cuddle more." If you know Ellie, you know she likes personal attention. My friend was in shock at how well the walker knew Ellie and her needs and how incredibly sweet and warm the tone of the walker was. Its things like this that a busy New Yorker who doesn't have time during the day to give their dog affection wants when looking for a walker. I cannot say enough incredible things about this business and recommend them to everyone I know.
Jenn has an absolute eye and attention to detail, when caring for other people's pets. She and her staff are great at updates on your pet, whether its a walk, boarding or catsitting. My cats ❤️ her!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Jenn and Flipz Pet Care. When I got my first rescue dog almost six years ago, Jenn was by my side doing everything she could to help her get acclimated to her new life. She took her to and from vet appointments, accommodated my school schedule and was always available for last minute appointments. She truly treated my dog as if she were her own own. Jenn was the only person who was able to get a very stubborn basset hound to run in the park, and was always thinking of new and different ways to help her when an issue came up (especially when it came to making her special treats for her sensitive tummy). At the end, when my dog had to be put down, Jenn was right by our side and came to see her the day before we had to put her to sleep. I never felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her and always knew they were safe, loved and taken care of. If you are using Jenn to take care of your pets, then consider yourself one of the luckiest people out there. She is truly one of a kind and I don't know what I would have done without her all of these years.
Jenn and her team are absolutely wonderful. They are very responsive to texts and emails and my pup Loretta loves them all. I've used apps like Wag in the past but had a negative experience and felt uncomfortable having strangers in my home. I first met Jenn when we hired her to do a few training sessions. She taught me so much and Loretta as turned into a great dog. Seeing how Jenn and her team interacts with the dogs first hand gives me so much peace of mind and I always feel good booking walks with them. I work freelance so my schedule changes weekly. They have always been able to accommodate me (within reason) and try their best to make it work. Would highly recommend!
Michael and his team are reliable, loving pup people and my dog is always so happily exhausted after pack walks. I think she enjoys the socializing as much as the exercise. I love Parkside pups easy scheduling app and the photos I get from each walk. It’s affordable, but most importantly I trust them. Highly recommend.
Parkside Pups has been instrumental in caring for my animals! I’ve been using them for years now and as I work in theatre, my schedule is frequently changing between days and hours that I work. This is important to note as many walkers I have interviewed required a minimum number of walks per week which my schedule doesn’t allow. Parkside Pups has lifted a huge amount of anxiety in my dogs getting enough exercise while I’m gone. They give excellent care and attention, particularly important to me as one of my dogs has had intermittent issues this year with her back legs; they have been flexible with giving slower walks, using the stroller, and carrying her as needed (she’s 6.5lbs). They are very detailed in their reports and always let me know when my older dog (a notorious sneak for street snacks) gets one on them and picks up something that they weren’t able to get back out of her mouth (if you also have a vacuum dog, how important it is to have a walker be honest with you about this!). I truly can’t say enough good things about Parkside Pups. I am thrilled with the quality service they provide, they are priced well, and my dogs love all of their walkers! Honestly, they’ve improved so much with their behaviour on walks and I know it’s in large part to Parkside Pups. If you’re in the market for a good dog walker, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Michael and the Parkside Pups team have been wonderful to work with. It’s incredibly easy to schedule walks with a flexible range of times, and they always send photos/a summary/and map of the walk to give you peace of mind. Our pup can be timid, but she always enjoys the walks with her neighborhood friends. I would highly recommend their services!
Parkside Pups are outstanding! After being called back into the office, I needed someone to walk my Phoebe while I was out for the day. I was recommended Parkside Pups by another dog owner in the neighborhood. The process starts with the owner, Michael, doing an informal, in house visit, to assess your dog and what services would be best for their needs. After that you are given a lockbox and access to the portal to book whenever you’d like. Everyone I’ve worked with has been kind, patient, and more than accommodating. I’ve even booked them for in home dog boarding which I loved as well! Below are photos that were taken while on walks or during boarding :)
Michael and the dog walking team at Parkside Pups are absolutely fantastic! We’ve got a high energy Australian Cattle Dog that needs quite a bit of exercise so we usually schedule a few pack walks a week. Scheduling is easy with the app that the team uses, and it’s great getting updates and photos about how the walk went. The team is really reliable and our dog always comes back from her walks happy and tired out! 10/10 would recommend!
We (including our dog Remy) love Parkside Pups! Michael and team are always so communicative, prompt, and amazing with dogs. Remy especially loves pack walks, which are great because they are intentionally never too crowded and have really trained him to walk well with other dogs. So much so that "pack walk" are a couple of Remy's favorite words. So glad we found Parkside!
I highly recommend Parkside Pups for dog walking services! Michael, the owner, treats our dog like his own and his team is reliable and caring. We love the summary email after her walks which includes a description of her walk, pictures, and a GPS map that shows exactly where she walked. Their website makes it easy to message walkers, schedule services, and view invoices. We are so happy we found Parkside Pups!
I couldn't recommend Michael and Parkside Pups enough! I used their services when I first adopted my puppy and it made my life so much easier. Not only is Michael an experienced dog owner, but he also made me (a new dog owner at the time) feel very comfortable and confident. My dog Penny always looked forward to her weekly walks and Michael made sure he and his team were very communicative. You can tell that Michael cares deeply about the animals first which makes Parkside so successful.
Michael was an incredible walker and friend to our pup, Sona. We were so grateful to have met into Michael on our way home from the rescue. He could probably tell that we were overwhelmed with our newly adopted dog dragging us down the street, zig zagging on her leash. He told us about his business, Parkside Pups and offered us kindness and encouragement in the beginning of what would become a very long journey of raising an anxious dog. Before their first walk, Michael came over to do a meet and greet and Sona was in love with him (and his dog Willy) at first sight. As a nervous dog that was just getting used to living in the city, it was exactly what she needed. Michael would take her on long walks to the park, around the neighborhood, to run and play, to socialize appropriately and in a safe way. She always came back from her 1- or 2-hour walks a silly and happy dog. Their walks brought her so much joy that for a long time, she associated anyone with a blue leash as a friend. We always got GPS updates on her walking route, cute photos or videos, and notes from her walk. Michael was kind, communicative, and so great with my stranger danger and at times dog-selective dog that I always felt at ease when she was out with him. You can see in Sona’s goofy face how much she loved hanging out with Michael.
I’m a huge fan of Parkside Pups! From boarding to regular walks, the walkers are consistently taking great care of my pup. They are trustworthy, communicative, and my dog adores everyone that she’s interacted with. Highly recommend.
The Dean is The Best. Always on time, treats our dogs and our cats as if they were his own. They LOVE him and when they see our suitcases, they know he is soon to arrive. For extended stays or a simple daily walk, he is trustworthy, security conscious and professional. He has stayed in our home many times, given pet meds, watered plants and picked up the mail. Most importantly he keeps "our kids", his most valued clients active and engaged. He services are extraordinary and he provides us all with peace of mind.
I needed someone who is knowledgeable, responsible, and sympathetic to take care of my dog, Carl, while I'm away on vacation. Carl is very large (90 lbs), very cuddly, and does not get along with other dogs. Dean understands how to walk Carl so that he and other dogs on the street are safe. Carl has such a good time with Dean that when our trip is over and we come home, Carl is even a little sad to see Dean go. Dean gives Carl so much loving attention, keeps me updated every day with comforting texts, that I can fully relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing that Carl is in the best of hands! I highly recommend Dean for dog sitting and dog walking. I am so happy we found him!
Dean is the absolute best in dog walking/sitting that we've found. He's taken care of our dog, Sugar, many times including staying for a week in our home while we were in Europe. He always sends us photos and videos to keep us up to date and gives her all the snuggles and kisses that she deserves (psst - she even sleeps with him!).
Dean has been taking care of my two kitty boys for over two years now and it is such a huge comfort and relief having him! He's so good with them, they adore him and I adore him!!
There aren't enough good things to say about Dean's pet care services! First, let me start by explaining what pet sitting involves at my house - I have 4 rescued chihuahua's, one of whom is 15 years old and has to be medicated for a heart condition, 2 cats and 2 chinchillas. It's not a pet care situation for the faint-hearted but Dean is undaunted by my urban petting zoo and 5 minutes after he arrived for the first time he was on the floor playing with everyone. Dean genuinely loves animals, I mean REALLY loves animals! Like many pet parents, mine are like my children and are excessively spoiled. I am neurotic about leaving them with anyone and my pet care instructions are literally four pages long. Dean takes all this in stride. He's meticulously responsible, trustworthy, and caring. Most importantly, all my pets love him. Honestly, I think they were disappointed when I returned home from my last trip. Dean is also a great communicator which is so important for helicopter pet parents. He sends me videos of everyone daily while I'm away and answers my texts promptly. He even made himself available recently when my return flight was canceled unexpectedly, staying with my pets until I was safely on another flight home. I've used a few other pet sitters in the past and I was always worried the entire time I was away. Now, I don't hesitate to leave my pets with Dean as I know they are in very capable hands - and they love staying with him! I cannot recommend Dean more highly to other pet parents...
Dean took care of our six dogs while we were away for an extended time. He was incredible -- the dogs all had a great time and Dean kept us posted with lots of picture and videos. Since then Dean regularly walks our pooches and has become an extended member of the pack. We highly recommend the Dean of Dogs!!!
Dean is a great dog walker/pet sitter. He’s caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy, which are the key factors that I look for when matching up my little guy with a dog walker. I would highly recommend Dean.
Dean is simply the best dog sitter there is. period. Don't believe, ask AnnaBananas, the true client here. When he shows up, that tail wags like you wouldn't believe (the whole body goes) and woofs her approval. Here is the deal : He does what he says he is going to do, when he says he will do it. Very communicative, and a good value for pricing. AND... hes even watched my cat once!!!!!
Dean is excellent! My dog LOVES him and gets very excited for walks. He always shows-up on time and sends a text updates. I know my dog is safe and happy with Dean :)
Prospect Bark is awesome!! If you love your dog you won’t board them anywhere else! I have searched many dog boarding places in Park Slope, and Prospect Bark is the absolute best by far! Chun-Soon and her daughter, Tina, Sheila and the whole staff! Outstanding! Where else does you dog get read bed time stories!! They always take the absolute best care of my dog when she is there. Can not recommend them enough!! 💕💕💕
Best doggie daycare, boarding, sitting and walking in Brooklyn! My wife and I have been using ProspectBArk! since our dog (now 8 years) was 3 months old. We've done daily walking (for several years before covid), in-home sitting, daycare while we moved, and most recently an 8-day staycation at their daycare/boarding facility while we were in Japan. They have never let us down and always do an amazing job – really setting our minds at ease when we have to be away from our sweet doggie. They provide plenty of photo updates, respond quickly, and the facility is absolutely top notch. Clean, comfortable, and run by people who truly love animals.
Where do I begin with Prospect Bark and how incredibly amazing they are. Staff: the owner of Prospect Bark and her team are beyond the best. They love all of the dogs as if they were their own. They provide individual time, attention and love to every dog. They are so attentive from managing diets and allergies and any medicine to play time, etc. they send us videos and photos all day that are just the best. Environment: I would like to stay for a day at Prospect Bark it is so calming and relaxing. They have high ceilings, calming music, clean - very clear they are constantly cleaning because it smells lovely - and they have beds and toys for all dog sizes - including heated blankets in their front window during the winter and a big play space and pools in their yard. Boarding: our dog loves boarding at Prospect Bark. Their lower level is a combo of Murphy beds for free sleeping dogs and crates for dogs who need crate sleeping. They have staff who sat over with the dogs which is just the best. Care: everything from little personal hand-drawn pics of the dogs on the walls to “pupsicles” in the summer to Thanksgiving dinner and a holiday photo shoot, Prospect Bark is beyond like family to us and our dog. We love them and everything they do and have recommended them to many. They are exceptional! Beyond highly recommend!!
Wish I could give ProspectBark more than 5 stars! They are absolutely the best! Our dog Lola absolutely loves coming here for daycare and overnights. You can tell how much the staff truly cares about all of the dogs that come here. We get the cutest photos and videos throughout the day (they send so many throughout the day, and you can tell how much fun all of the dogs are having) so we never have to wonder how she is doing & they always make us smile. They set up pools for the dogs during the Summer, organize different activities, and make healthy treats for the dogs too. The space is also extremely clean! This is truly such an incredible place and we always trust them to watch our dog Lola - she really has a BLAST here! I can't recommend ProspectBark enough!
The team at ProsepctBARK is one of the most conscientious and caring group of animal care specialists we have ever encountered. From the early days of the business when they walked our bulldog puppy to the their sensitive and meticulous care for her late in life - this team loves animals and makes it their mission to provide amazing services. We now have two new puppies and two cats. ProspectBARK provide excellent in home and day care services for all of our animals. They are like family to us and our animals and always exhibit professional excellence. Creative (draw up dog days!) unique (summertime frozen treats) and deeply kind - our animals are in the very best hands with this wonderful team!
I cannot say enough good things about prospect bark. We send our dog to day care and board her, and she is treated with so much love and care. ProspectBark has also helped her become socialized well with dogs, and they’ve been so collaborative. We are so grateful to have found prospect bark.
My dog and I LOVE ProspectBArk. I have never trusted a place more with my fur baby. I know she is in good hands, getting taken care of and having fun! The staff is super friendly and communicative. I love that I get picture and video updates throughout the day. And they even make homemade snacks for the pups. Can’t recommend this place enough!!
ProspectBark is an incredible dog daycare. The staff is caring and competent. My wife and I leave our little baby Granger in their hands and know he’ll be loved and taken care of. I could not highly rec this business more. The staff is really wonderful. One specific highlight is the staff’s constant communication via photos and video which helps my wife and I feel even more comfortable when we are away knowing our precious baby is in living hands.
ProspectBArk goes above and beyond for pets and their humans! They have been kitty sitting for us for years when we go on vacation, and we have only ever had positive experiences. Sitters are always professional, communicative, and provide lots of updates and pictures. Our cat, Frasier, was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, so we were nervous about leaving him alone when we had to go out of town. When we entered new care instructions into the portal, the owner was kind enough to call and collaborate on a special care plan for him. She even delivered a cat water fountain to our home to make sure Frasier didn't get dehydrated! We were so touched by the kindness and our sitter, Doug, was clearly mindful of our anxiety and made sure to give us the best updates. We feel really lucky to have the staff at ProspectBArk in Frasier's corner (and ours!).
I have used ProspectBArk's cat sitting service since 2016 whenever we go away on vacation or business trips and I've had nothing but excellent experiences! The sitters are trustworthy, kind, professional, and passionate about caring for my two cats, Poppy and Bandit. And, on top of this great care, we also get lots of cute photos and videos of the cats while we're on vacation. In particular, I want to shout out Jennifer Bernstein, our sitter of several years, for her incredible and attentive care. Our cats love her!
Housebroken has been walking our dog for 5 years now. They have very friendly walkers that our dog loves and have always been dependable. The rates are also good if you are looking for a regular walk. They are also very accommodating with schedule changes.
I have used Housebroken for around 12 years now! They have always taken such good care of my dogs and communication is outstanding. They are helpful, thoughtful, and reliable. Highly recommend!!
We started using Housebroken for our dachshund puppy, Zelda, before she was old enough to go on walks! We set up puppy visits until she was old enough, and then moved on to solo and small group walks. Zelda has always has some anxiety issues walking outside and being around other dogs, and the team at Housebroken have always been very mindful and gentle with her. They always gave us peace of mind while we were at work, and we were grateful for the opportunities for her to socialize. Would highly recommend to anyone that lives in the area!
For the past 4+ years, my adorable bulldog Duke has been cared for by the team at HouseBroken. Vivian, Kim, and the various walkers that have seen Duke over the years are trustworthy and professional. I have never had any issues with their service and can only thank them for giving me the peace of mind of knowing that my dog is in good hands while I'm not around to care for him myself. I highly recommend their service and I'm continuing to use them a few days a week even though I'm working from home indefinitely due to the pandemic. It's nice to be able to support a local business during these unusual times, and I encourage anyone reading this to reach out to HouseBroken and find out what a great service they are for yourself! Your pet will thank you.
We have been using their walking and sitting services for 3+ years and are always pleased! Our dog can be very stubborn about walking, and all of HouseBroken's walkers have been patient and dedicated to making her comfortable and successful.
I have been using Housebroken for years now and they have always taken great care of my cat 🐈⬛ while I’m away. I’m definitely a fan. The new app they use allows them to leave notes and photos which I really like. …
Everyone at HouseBroken was so wonderful! They quickly responded to emails before and during their visits to my cats. I could tell they were well cared for, and there were daily updates after their visit to let me know how the cats were and any updates. Their online platform makes booking, paying, everything such a breeze. When my cat's food ran out, they offered to go to the store and buy more to make sure they were all set the next day. I also had a ton of packages delivering during this time, and they were kind enough to bring them all into my apartment to make sure they were safe.
HouseBroken has taken care of my two sweet angels for 6 years. I work many hours a week in healthcare and have a lot of irregular schedule needs and HouseBroken has always accommodated me. I wouldn't trust my pups with anyone else. 2 thumbs up!
I cannot praise the HouseBroken team enough for the service and care they provide my puppy, Penny. Penny is my first ever dog, and I was understandably nervous choosing a service that would look after her while I was at work every day. Since Day 1 HouseBroken has been unbelievable - accommodating last minute changes and leaving detailed notes of what Penny got up to on her walk. The HouseBroken team puts me so at ease, knowing they will treat Penny as if she were their own. Thank you so much for everything you do. I recommend everyone use HouseBroken and I have no doubt you’ll have the same experience.
Housebroken are super reliable. All the dog walkers communicate well and take our pup on great walks. Highly recommended.
