Pet Sitters in Dobbs Ferry, NY

I can’t say enough good things about Buddy’s Parking Lot! I’m so grateful I found this place for my dog Valentino, a 2 1/2-year-old Pomeranian, who has been going here since he was a puppy. After moving and trying several other daycares, it’s clear that none compare to Buddy’s. Valentino is never as excited as he is when he gets to Buddy’s Parking Lot, and his happiness shows every time I pick him up. The staff is incredibly friendly and caring, and I can tell they truly love what they do. Valentino has never suffered any injuries here, unlike other daycares we’ve tried. I highly recommend Buddy’s to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their dog! Thank you to all the staff Valentino loves you!

We absolutely love Buddy's! The staff love our Honey, and she loves them right back! She flies out of the car when we arrive and has to be carried to the car during pickup. Within just two visits, the staff know us by heart and treat her so kindly. Special shout-out to the grooming service, they did a beautiful job with her and even surprised us with just the cutest little bows.

Buddy's was recommended to us by our dog trainer after we were having bad experiences with another local daycare and I cannot say enough good things about this place. All the handlers know the dogs by name and I can tell the staff take the time to get to know the dogs and interact with them which gives me confidence in the safety of the establishment. Our dog Sophie gets so excited when we tell her she is going to daycare and comes home exhausted after such a fun day of play. We've only boarded her overnight once but she seemed to do well with it and I love that she's able to snuggle with the handlers!

I'm thrilled to share that Buddy's Barking Lot is truly the best cage-free doggy daycare in Westchester! My rescue pup, Barack, a 13-year-old Labrador mix who struggles with anxiety, absolutely adores this place. The caring staff and stress-free environment have worked wonders for my furry friend. I highly recommend it to fellow pet owners. Just remember to reserve in advance for holidays, as they fill up quickly due to their well-deserved popularity.

Best groomer Cody's had since he was a puppy. The daycare is great, it's like a doggy community room. Love it! Kudos to the crew of Buddy's

My dog loves going there but there are several things they could improve on. There is a lack of communication when it comes to emergencies. My puppy caught influenza from another dog there and they continued to allow symptomatic sick dogs to attend. Lastly, he has thrown up feces, so there is a hygiene concern.

I have recently started taking my Golden Retriever to Buddy’s. He jumps out of the car and struts in happily on his own, and is always excited when I pick him up. His exercise tracker tells me he plays all day while there. Happy to have found a daycare where he’s outdoors and not kenneled.

My Goldendoodle has been going here since she was 15 weeks old. She is now 2 1/2. I love this place. I know when I drop her off she is in good hands. She is always happy to go inside and that says it all. I also use their grooming service. Karen does a famtastic job and is done in 2 hours and my girl is 65 lbs and her ears and tail can be challenging as they tend to mat.

We drop our dog there for any length of time (within their long hours), whenever we need doggy daycare. Never need to call ahead for drop off or pickup and never a worry. The owners and staff are amazing. They also board. I will not have my dog "play" anywhere else.

Karen always does an amazing job when grooming Simba, you can tell how she genuinely loves her job and loves pets. I have been to other grooming places and he has never felt as comfortable as he does here. Highly recommended, great quality and great pricing !

Amazing! Couldn't ask for better people to watch my dog when I'm away. My dog has been apart of Playdates for Pets ever since he was a puppy (over 2 years now) and they truly treat him like their own. I continue to use them for boarding, walks, and playgroup. Highly recommend them over anyone else in Westchester. They can definitely be trusted with your pooch.

Awesome My quirky rescue is well cared for and loved when we can’t be home . Terrific team! Especially impressive is how much attention he gets. These sitters notice when he’s himself, and when something isn’t right. We were recently away for nearly a week, and the sitters alerted us to a health issue and even took him to the vet for us. They always go above and beyond.

Wanna give a shoutout to Playdates for Pets for taking such good care of my dog while my family was on vacation. My dog was having some personal issues and changes had to be made with his boarding. They quickly and smoothly moved into action with a "plan B"! Thank you so much for putting my family at ease while we were away!!

My dog runs out of the car to get to Play Group! The area is so inviting and all of the dogs love being together. It's set up so that dogs of similar size and energy are together so there's something for any dog. It's truly Oatie's home away from home!

This is the best pet sitting company I have ever had. I’m on my fourth Dog and every single one has loved Lauren and all of her employees. She is truly a mama to each and every one of them ❤️❤️

Great service. Very attentive and reliable. They took care of our cat and even walked him on his leash!

They are awesome.. thoughtful. Great people

Love play dates for pets! Caring, intuitive, and they know dogs!

Very Reliable and trustworthy

Recently started boarding our dog here - one short stay and one long stay - and had a great experience. They seem to legitimately like the animals (i.e. not just a business). And the dogs seem to get a good bit of outdoor and social time, which is exactly what I wanted for our enthusiastic pooch. To me, the dog being wiped out and tired after staying with them, is definitely a feature, not a bug. Highly recommend it.

This place went above and beyond for our dog, Darwin. We were days from our summer vacation and had planned on having Darwin stay at Ludworth for 2 weeks. Right before, he caught a terrible ear infection and hurt his paw. Tom and his wonderful staff at Ludworth took such amazing care of Darwin, taking him back and forth to the vet several times, changing his bandages, and just giving him the care he needed while we were away. Couldnt recommend a place more highly for the care they provide. It's definitely no frills for humans, but a great place to safely leave your pet with the peace of mind they will have a very happy stay. Once again, thanks so much Tom for you're taking such great care of our pooch!

Our rotti has been here a few times and she loves it. We had last minute travel and the staff were extremely understanding and worked with us. Our #1 choice in all things pup sitting. Keep up the great work

Family Run business that does a great job. Been taking our dogs here for years. Tom and his crew are A+.

Max my 110 lbs Rottweiler loves going to Ludworth. I haven't had any issues and he seems well taken care of. They are also very accommodating, which is a plus when you need boarding.

We came here in search of a place to board our two cats and the set up was just sad. They had a caged indoor space attached to a caged outdoor space by which the cats could move from one space to another through a hole. The place didn't get a lot of natural light and each caged spot was pretty small. No where for the cats to climb or to get any exercise. No toys, scratch posts, nothing. Barely the bare minimum. Clearly this is a place that is more geared for boarding dogs and they decided to use the dank, dark barn for cats. It's cheap, sure, but if you truly love your cats you wouldn't leave them here. The guy who showed us around was nice, the place was not. It's no wonder they don't have any pictures posted of the cat boarding area on their website.

Cannot recommend this place enough! My dogs absolutely love it here. The owner and the whole staff are so lovely and look forward to seeing my two doggies. I can tell they are given lots of attention here and come back nice and tired.

My dog stayed for 2 nights. The staff were very friendly and accommodating of our schedule. They washed our dog too, and the cost was very good. But when our dog got home, he went straight to his water and food, and then slept for hours. We were able to peek in the barn where the dogs sleep, and it looked old and unsanitary. We gave them a bag with blankets and a stuffed animal so that our dog can feel a little more comfortable at the kennel, but they didn’t put it in his kennel during the stay. It was our dog’s 3rd time to stay at a kennel, so we don’t have much experience. But what we can say is that he’s been on two 14h flights before, and he didn’t act as fatigued as he did when he got back from this kennel. He’s usually very playful and energetic, so it was shocking to see how weak he looked. We saw many positive reviews, so we’re sure this kennel fits some dogs very well, but not for every dog. but we appreciate that the kennel kept our dog safe during our vacation.

I love Ludworth kennels and have used them for years for my three dogs… They are very kind and nice with my pups 🐶 👍

We have been using Ludworth Kennels for almost 40 years and 6 different dogs. In all that time we have had nothing but positive experiences. The dogs are always happy to go and happy when we pick them up. They are well fed and well cared for. Tom, the owner and proprietor, sets up play groups for the dogs and they are always healthy and happy when we pick them up.

Brittanie and the Paw Pals team took such good care of our boys. We were able to spend a nice weekend away without having to worry if our pups were okay. We received a daily report card with a photo to keep us updated. I wouldn't take my pups anywhere else ♡ Thank you, Paw Pals!

I can never saw enough about how truly wonderful Paw Pals is! From the dog walking service, to the daycare, to the overnight home stays and the boarding, we have done it all and each time has been wonderful. They truly treat your pet like their own. Our dog is now 10 and has always been a nervous type. The team at Paw Pals is always so patient and kind and loving with him. I always love getting the reports with how sweet he was with them too! I have and will continue to recommend Paw Pals to all of my friends and family. It is the only place when we leave our pup, we never have to think twice! Paw Pals has helped us for our wedding, birth of our kids, vacations and everything in between. Brittanie and her team are the best at what they do!! Thank you Paw Pals for being so amazing and the best at what you do!

Paw Pals provided excellent care for Nala while I was away! Given that she's a working line German Shepherd, I was worried about meeting her mental and physical activity needs during boarding. However, Paw Pals kept her active, engaged, and stimulated with walks, puzzles, and playtime. Brittanie was incredibly responsive and reassuring when I checked in, even sending extra photos for my peace of mind. They continuously refine and improve their practices to be inclusive of all types of dogs, from their daycare program and individual enrichment activities to on-site training and even micro groups for selective dogs. Their commitment to providing tailored care that meets each dog's unique needs sets them apart from the rest. Thank you Paw Pals!

I can not thank the Paw Pals team enough. We got our puppy in the middle of winter, so it was challenging to find ways to help him socialize with other dogs and people. I am so happy we found Paw Pals! Jet was nervous the first time he walked in, but after that, he always walked in with a smile and a wagging tail! They are very accommodating when we send him (3-4 times a month). We don’t send him often, but the few times he has attended daycare shows that it helped him feel comfortable around new dogs and people. We feel at ease knowing he is with kind professionals, exercising and socializing, and the pictures they send us make our day. I can tell the owner is diligent with whom she hires and is a kind and caring professional. Their website is straightforward and easy to navigate. We are going on a few vacations over the summer and plan on sending him here with complete trust that he will be happy and on vacation, too! Thank you Paw Pals!!

The Paw Pals team has been excellent taking care of my pup as I transition back to working in the office! From the dog walking team to the day care and boarding team not only do they keep me updated but they keep my dog very happy. The team also is very accommodating when my schedule changes. And I get the cutest photos! Thanks Paw Pals!

Paw Pals is the best - our dogs love to go there. The last time we boarded them, Paw Pals literally saved our summer vacation - one of our dogs needed a visit to the vet while we were away (non serious but needed to go) and the owner took her for us so we didn’t have to disappoint our kids and cut our trip short. They always take great care of our babies and go above and beyond.

To say Paw Pals is an amazing day care/boarding facility would be an understatement. I have trusted Brittanie and her team with my fur baby since 2021. The Paw Pals team have loved on and cared for my baby as if he is truly apart of their family. I have always been exceptionally pleased and grateful for their care, attention to detail with enrichment activities and the health & welfare of my fur baby, and frequent updates/communication to include pictures. Joey loves going to “school” to see his friends and the staff. Thank you, Paw Pals for being a reliable, trustworthy, safe, and fun establishment! I can’t say enough— thank you for working with me and last minute bookings, taking care of Joey if I was across or out of the country or simply running boring, adult errands! You all are awesome and appreciated!

My two dogs totally enjoy their time spent at Paw Pals. They love coming and can’t get inside fast enough to play with staff and friends. Staff is super friendly and always make me feel as though my guys are welcome there. It’s the best doggy day care I have ever used.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Paw Pals From the moment I walked in, I knew my furry friend was in excellent hands. The staff at Paw Pals are not just pet caregivers; they are true animal lovers who go above and beyond to ensure every dog feels like a VIP. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could dream of, from cozy beds to fun toys and engaging activities. What sets Paw Pals apart is their personalized care and attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether it's playtime, socialization, or just some extra cuddles, the staff always make sure every dog is happy and comfortable. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my furry companion is safe and having a blast at Paw Pals The regular updates and photos they provide throughout the day are a wonderful touch that keeps me connected and reassured. If you're looking for a top-notch doggie day care where your pet will be treated like family, look no further than Paw Pals . I highly recommend them to any pet parent seeking a safe and loving environment for their furry friend. Thank you, paw Pals , for being a home away from home for my beloved pet!

Paw pals exceeded our expectations! This was our first experience boarding our extremely nervous dog and the entire staff took such good care of our dog and our family! They sent two report cards a day with a written and picture update and made us feel so at ease while we were away on our vacation. Our family would highly recommend paw pals to anyone looking for care for their dog!! We will absolutely be using them again in the future and appreciate all the love and care that they put into caring for animals!

We were going overseas for 2 weeks and our pet sitter backed out. My son was worried about his Bearded Dragon, Xerxes. Jeff was available at short notice for us to come and "ok" the spot that Xerxes would have while we were away. He was very understanding with a nervous 14 year old! When we came back to drop her off, he had even researched more info online about Bearded Dragons - she was his first one! While we were away he texted pics and updates. He had to cut fresh food daily and remember to turn on and off different lights/heaters each morning and evening. Jeff was wonderful and saved the day. Xerxes did great and we were able to enjoy our trip. Thanks Jeff!! We will definitely use Preppy Pet again!

Our Jack Russell rescue is an active, high energy dog, who needed to learn basic commands and also how to play with other dogs. We've been bringing him to Jeff every Saturday for about six months for socialization and basic training. Our little buddy has become much less aggressive with other dogs and now sits without me having to tell him to! We bring him up to Preppy Pet (from the Bronx!) every week because we know he. Is. Loved, trained and has a great time! We’ve also used the boarding services. Jeff’s prices are great and the service can’t be beat! Jeff is flexible and he and the staff truly care about the dogs. If your dog needs a day to run around and play and “just be a dog”, bring him to Jeff. Your pooch will come home, drink from his bowl and call it a night! 🐾🐶🐾

Jeff takes care of my dog on all vacation trips throughout the year . He sends me videos and pictures to put me at ease that my Rosie is happy . Jeff is very personable and attentive to my dogs needs . Reasonable priced and good service !

Preppy Pet (Orangeburg location, formerly located in Nanuet) has made a huge impression on me and my husband. After searching high and low to find a trusting place to board our sweet female German shepherd, handsome male German shepherd, and smiley male Golden Retriever we decided on Preppy Pet. From the first initial phone call, they were very patient when answering our list of questions and concerns. They were very reassuring and made us feel that we are bringing our dogs to a place that will treat them like their own. The drop off was very smooth, as Jeff and his staff took our dogs in one by one to get used to their temporary home for the next several weeks. Jeff (who is the owner) spent as much time as we needed going through the specific feeding directions for our three dogs, as one of our German shepherds needs special medication administered in order for her body to properly digest her food. Shortly after drop off, Jeff and his staff would send us videos and photos of our dogs. I could tell they were having a great time from the start, by their ear to ear smiles and wagging tails. I knew we had chosen the best place for our dogs to be well cared for. You can tell that the staff truly loves animals. The love and compassion could be felt right through the videos. I am so happy we chose Preppy Pet to board our 3 dogs, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for services that they offer. (They also offer services such as grooming, and day care!) Boarding your animals is never easy, but Preppy Pet made it so much better for us. They are very reasonably priced, they are very honest, and they have the best team! Thank you to everyone at Preppy Pet! We will be returning in the future! 5 + stars!!!!

my dogs Daisy and Tippy came here multiple times for boarding day care and baths the staff was great! and very kind they did a great job with the bath and nail clippings and even sent me pictures!

My baby boy loves going to daycare here! Whenever he realizes we are on the way he howls and howls. Once we arrive he drags me to the door. He love being able to play with other pups. Preppy Pet is the only daycare, boarding, and grooming provider that we would choose.

I’ve been boarding my two dogs, Nigel and Lily at Preppy Pet over the last few years. Jeff has always been super reliable and accommodating. Each time I pick the dogs up they are happy, well fed, and tired from playing. When I drop them off to stay at preppy pet they don’t even look back, they are so excited to return to hang out with their friend Jeff & co. We will definitely miss them as we move out of state but are happy to know how loved and cared for Nigel & Lily were during their many stays at Preppy Pet.

My go to for dog boarding ! Jeff the owner loves his animals and takes good care of my dog pepper. Staff is super friendly. Been going for couple years now! Pepper loves it!

We have been dropping our pit bull Cocoa at Preppy Pup for around a year now. People get nervous when they see pit bulls and unfairly judge them based on their reputations (not going to call out any other day cares in the area by name…….). That is not the case with Jeff and the staff at Preppy Pup. The whole team treats Cocoa for who she is, a very loving, happy and playful girl who doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body….though she still has endless amounts of puppy energy! Cocoa is always so excited to go. When we ask her “do you want to go see Jeff today?” she instantly “smiles” and shakes her butt and when we pick her up she is completely exhausted from a day of play!

Our two dachshunds have had many wonderful stays with Preppy Pet! Preppy Pet owner, Jeff, gave great care to our senior dogs, making sure to follow all best practices for keeping them healthy and safe. They really love all pets and all feel welcome. With typical boarding structure, filled with many dogs, cats, and others, you will probably smell the clients, that's a good thing-no toxic disinfectants or perfumes, you can leave your pets with ease of mind, they are safe and in good company!

Bailey loves his weekly play dates with Lauren! My very energetic fur baby learned to socialize and play with other dogs in a safe environment. So thankful for her.

My dog Blaze goes absolutely insane with excitement when I mention going to Peaceful Pup to see Lauren! He normally has separation anxiety when it comes to leaving me, however, when we arrive at Peaceful Pups, he leaps out of the car and runs right to the door. He has a wonderful time and I totally trust Lauren with my fur baby!

As a first time dog owner my family and I were nervous to trust anyone with our puppy. However, we felt an immediate connection with Lauren. She was knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. My dog loved her from their first interaction. She has helped us with tips, walking, boarding, and she has been so easy to work with. We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her!

We had a large party and we wanted to eliminate the worry that comes with non dog owners and doors being inadvertently left open. So we asked our vet for a sitting service. Peaceful pups was recommended. And after meeting Lauren, we found a perfect and safe place for our dog. It was our first worry free party in ages. And our dog came home happy and tired from all the fun she had. Thank you Lauren!

Leaving our pets in Lauren’s care was the best decision we made. She is extremely responsible and competent. I could not have had more peace of mind if I was with them myself! Thank you, Lauren!

Lauren is absolutely amazing. She is someone I can count on with my fur baby for anything without a stress or worry. I’m so thankful for her and couldn’t recommend her more. When you have Lauren looking after your pet you can assure you have nothing to worry about she’s spoiling them for sure!

Lauren was so wonderful with our cats. Responsive and on time, had no worries at all while away. We will definitely use her services again!

Lauren has taken care of our dogs , both large and small dogs. They love her and it is great because we know our dogs are well taken care of when we are away. I highly recommend her services. 🐾🐾

If you’re looking for someone who cares for dogs as if they are their own, it’s Peaceful Pups! Lauren is responsible, reliable and treats each dog with love‼️ There is no better feeling than knowing your loved one is in the best hands…

I cannot sing the praises of Peaceful Pups Dog Care loudly enough. My dog had a rough passage prior to coming to my home. He endured losing a leg in Hurrican Marie in Puerto Rico. Peaceful Pups has worked with me to overcome his reactive quirks so he can have a much better life. I never worry for a second when he is in Lauren's care. She is a dog whisperer extraordinare. My dog howls when he knows she is coming. Praise from a pup who has had a tough time. THAT says it all!!

My experience with Musbro has been nothing short of extraordinary. Maverick my 11-month Shepky has been going there since July 8th. Musbro is the place I was looking for and finally found. The staff at Musbro has put up with my crazy dog mom questions before he started and made me feel at ease brining Maverick and transitioning him to a new place after a nasty experience at a previous place resulting in a vet visit and diagnosis with stress colitis. Nicole, and Brittany are the most welcoming every morning, I can recall day 2 they knew Maverick and greeted him. I said I don’t even care if they knew my name, but it meant the world they remembered his name by day two. Musbro is the place where I feel comfortable sending Maverick, because they treat the dogs as their own. Maverick is a bit spoiled; I mention that Maverick likes to eat around people, they accommodated that, Maverick has eaten with Gregg. The services and care Maverick has received has made this transition and socialization experience so easy and I even stopped calling every day! (That’s HUGE for me). Clearly Maverick cannot tell me he loves it but there are signs that show me such as, He literally greets Brittany or Nicole and jobs up on the counter, He gets a “Good Morning Maverick”, They are seriously wonderful with Maverick and his energy. I am so pleased and can’t thank them enough for taking Maverick and caring for him as I would when I am at work.

This place is awesome ! Rocky, our Aussie literally breaks the door to get in when we bring him there and he’s always super happy tired when we pick him up . See the photo below for proof 😅 …

Our dog is very comfortable with the staff. I use the grooming services and have been very pleased. Emily does a great job. Appointments are very flexible. Staff is friendly and accommodating. It's worth the half hour drive. I highly recommend Musbro. I haven't used the boarding services or day care yet, so I can't comment on that.

Love Musbro. Teddy is here for daycare 2-3 days every week. He can't wait to get there and is surely getting a ton of playtime everyday. Even when the weather is bad, he's still tired when I pick him up. I've also had him groomed here. He looked great with his new haircut. The owners and their staff are so nice, professional and friendly and I know the staff gives my dog the attention he needs throughout the day. It's nice to do business with businesses like this.

We LOVE this place. The staff is amazing. Greg and his girls and the remainder of the staff are amazing. My dog LOVES this place. She runs in and jumps up to get her cookie and comes home exhausted. I feel comfortable boarding my Barkley with them and I have never had any concerns or attitude from anyone who works there. Not sure what this other lady is talking about - everyone is super friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Family owned and operated, full service center! They offer grooming, doggie day care and boarding! They care for your pet as you would and my dogs have always been happy to spend time there.

Words can’t describe how amazing the team at Musbro Kennels is! It’s run by a wonderfully caring and hard working family. Our pup loves spending time here whether it’s for daycare, boarding and/or grooming. The family team at Musbro is passionate about providing the best care and services to all. I fully trust that our dog is well taken care of and can’t recommend Musbro Kennels enough. Thank you for all that you do!!

They are the best. They have cared for and still care for my childhood dogs and now my own dog. They have a groomer and the cut is always perfect and the dogs come home smelling so clean. They are the only people I would use to watch my pups for anything. Not saying you should do this, please give the fine folks at Musbro nice notice, but they have never said no, nor have they ever turned us away, eve the day of. Superb and the most reliable.

Great doggy daycare spot. My puppy loves every day he gets to spend at Musbro, and the whole staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I can tell my pup is being well taken care of, and getting all sorts of playtime and love. Clean, no-frills establishment. Well priced. Have also had good grooming and boarding experiences, but mostly visit them for daycare.

Love this place. But not as much as my dog does. For those who have posted recently looking for perfect timing and everything to your liking, I wonder if you’re also the type that complains when the lines are too long in retail stores? My response to that is always ‘I’m sure they’re hiring’. If one needs a bougie grooming place with valet service on a silver platter, there are other locations (probably also the same places who board dogs yet leave them alone in a building from 7p to 6a). This family run business loves the animals that they keep, runs a great business, and silly ranting, inconsequential reviews hurt them. I can’t think of a better place to leave our dog for a day, weekend, or a long time away.

Georgie loves going to Pleasant Paws. He comes home after a day at the "inn", happy, healthy and exhausted from playing! This is a family run clean daycare and they love and care for my boy! The pictures are Georgie hanging in the backyard where the dogs play !

Great place to leave your dog for a day or board for longer stays. My boy Blue absolutely loves this place, sometimes I think more than home with us. He gets a great workout with his buddies and is exhausted when I pick him up. Billy knows dogs and I trust him immensely with our pup.

Our dog Hudson loves going to Pleasant Paws Inn. Julie and Joe are terrific! They take good care of our pup. We feel very comfortable bringing Hudson there for daycare and boarding overnight. Great family-run place!

I cannot speak highly enough of Julie and the team at Pleasant Paws Inn. I left my dog Meadow at Pleasant Paws Inn for over a week and was so impressed with the care, love, and attention that she received. Super-responsive, excellent customer service and, after picking my dog up this morning I could tell she had an absolute blast! I will be recommending Pleasant Paws Inn to all of my friends and family going forward. Thank you to Julie and the team for taking such great care of my Meadow!

I would give them 20 stars, if I could. I only wish I had found Pleasant Paws Inn sooner! My dog is a bit on the anxious side and I have never been comfortable with the idea of boarding him in a typical kennel environment. It is clear that everyone at Pleasant Paws has a genuine love for the animals in their care and importantly, they are fantastic about communicating with me while my pup is there. The best thing I can say is that every time I have brought Finnegan there, he is happy to go and every time I pick him up, he is happy to come home. Perfect <3 !

Pleasant Paws has been our dog Fiona’s home away from home for a little over a year now. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are clean and well- maintained and the outdoor play area is spacious and allows the dogs to run, play and exercise together. Most importantly, Julie and her staff are kind, caring and attentive - they are tuned in to each dog’s personality and make a real effort to accommodate their needs and behaviors. Fiona loves being there, and I love being able to look on FB on the days that she is there and see pictures of her throughout the day! We are always confident that she is well taken care of when we leave her at Pleasant Paws, and that has given us enormous peace of mind.

Wonderful, dependable, and friendly staff and clean, spacious indoor/outdoor crate-free facility with lots of room for the pups to run and play. My dog Elliot runs up to the gate every time I drop him off! I highly recommend Pleasant Paws Inn for boarding or daycare.

Our dog Clover has gone to Julie and Pleasant Paws Inn for nearly 3 years now. Clover loves it there, whether for daycare or boarding. She can't wait to get out of the car and be with them for the day or the weekend. In particular, it has been such a relief for us to know they're available whenever there has been a family emergency. They're so responsive and ready to take Clover on short notice. We never have to worry.

Julie and the staff at Pleasant Paws are the best in the business. Our boxer puppy Cooper spends two days a week at daycare there. When I pick him up after work he is exhausted and happy from playing all day long! Just this past weekend Cooper spent Friday through Monday at PPI while we were away on a weekend trip. Cooper did GREAT! We got to see pictures of him playing with his friends on Facebook while we were away. When I picked him up on Monday I couldn't even get him out of the car he was snoring so loud! It was so nice to know that even though we missed Cooper while we were away he was well taken care of and didn't seem to miss us too much! Thank you Julie and everyone at Pleasant Paws for taking such good care of him!!! You have a friend and client for life!!!

Great family owned business. They take great care of the dogs and treat them as part of their own family. I highly recommend them.

Pedro is an excellent dog walker. I have recommended him many times to neighbors and friends without hesitation. He is very attentive, reliable, and caring. I have a senior dog that Pedro has been taking care of (because a great dog walker does more than just walk your dog) for the last four years. He is incredibly patient and loving as she begins to slow down in her golden years. I’m grateful everday I leave the apartment knowing Pedro will be there to exercise and spend time with my beloved dog.

I couldn't be happier with Pedro and Hot Paws Pet Care. My pup can be a bit of a handful so I was a bit nervous about finding a walker for her, but I knew from the moment I met Pedro that she would be in good hands! Pedro is *obviously* a dog-lover and has a lot of patience. He is also extremely communicative and reliable; he has NEVER not shown up for a walk and has never canceled on us. It is SUCH a relief not having to worry about my dog while I'm at work! I also always receive text updates about the walk, which is great. All I know is that my dog absolutely adores Pedro. BOTTOM LINE: You can't go wrong with Hot Paws Pet Care. P.S. While Pedro is our every day walker, I have met two other walkers with Hot Paws Pet Care and both were great, too! It was important to me that my dog could expect the same walker every single day, which Pedro accommodated, but for two days during which Pedro was out of town we had sub walkers. Pedro was gracious enough to give plenty of notice about his trip AND set up a time for me and my dog to meet the sub walkers beforehand to make sure everything would be good. SO appreciate Hot Paws Pet Care's commitment to its clients and the fact that it always puts the dogs first! THANK YOU!

We had Pedro dog-sit our 2 dogs at our wedding recently at Wave Hill in the Bronx. He was TREMENDOUS! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He was amazing to work with and such a great guy. He took phenomenal care of our dogs (1 big dog and 1 little dog). The dogs were honestly upset to be leaving his care at the end of the night. Pedro was a class act. He dressed incredibly well and was such a pleasure to work with. We were so happy we found him!

Pedro has been taking care of our Jack Russell since 2013 and she absolutely loves him. Since Pedro has been with us, we've noticed a reduction in our dog's anxiety around other dogs (and even people), and he and Vincent have always demonstrated a genuine care for her well-being. We feel very fortunate that we found such a trustworthy, reliable, and attentive dog walking service.

Pedro is a total professional and a pleasure to work with. He took care of our cats while we were away for the holidays. He not only made sure our cats were fed and their litter cleaned, but he also played with the cats every time he was there, gave us text updates, and even was kind enough to bring in our mail. We enjoyed our vacation that much more knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were away. Can't recommend Pedro and Hot Paws enough - he treats your pets like they were his own! Thanks again, Pedro!

Pedro and Hot Paws is the best! He has taken care of my dogs for 7 years. When I needed him he was there and when I went on vacation. My dogs love him too and he's a total dog lover and understands them. I totally trust him and his professionalism. Thanks Pedro!!

Pedro has been walking our dog for the past year and we absolutely love him and Hot Paws! He is such a caring, responsible, and professional individual and just a pleasure to work with. Since he has come in to our lives, we have felt so much relief knowing that our pup is well taken care of and happy. He has strong communication skills and updates you on your pup daily. When we need to go away, he stays at our apartment and I don’t worry because I know our dog is in great hands! Our dog absolutely loves him as well and gets so excited when she sees him. Highly recommend Hot Paws for your furry loved ones!

Pedro and Vincent have been walking my large, lazy dog for nearly 2 years. He is professional, flexible and easy to work with. He is always cheerful and pleasant and really cares about our dog. Our dog can be quite resistant to getting off the couch to walk during the day - especially in the summer or if it's raining - and Hot Paws can always get him happily out the door. They are awesome and a real asset to the neighborhood!

I hired Pedro to take care of my GSD while I was working out of state. Pedro did an excellent job taking care of my pride and joy. He promptly gave me updates every time he completed a walk and kept me up to date on his mood. I even got to FaceTime with my dog which I think help put both our minds at ease. Even though my dog isn’t too happy when I go away at least I know someone I can call to make sure he’s safe and happy. Thank you Pedro!

The Hot Paws Pet Care team is amazing!!! Pedro has been walking my cockapoo Gigi for a few years now and she absolutely adores him! He’s so loving, playful and understanding with her! He doesn’t just come and walk her, he actually takes the time to play with her and talk to her. It’s clear to see that he loves dogs and that’s evident in the love and care he gives each one of his client dogs. He is responsible, reliable and flexible with his schedule. There aren’t enough words to express my delight and appreciation for how he treats my Gigi. I 100% recommend the whole How Paws Pet Care team!

Always available for Pasta and Sonny! Highly recommend

Daniella was amazing with our high energy puppy! He absolutely adored her and came back happy and exhausted every time. She was very reliable and professional.

Daniela was quite lovely and very accommodating-offered to come pick up and drop off our dog. She gave us good feedback about how our dog was doing when we inquired. We will certainly plan to work with Daniela in the future!

Daniella has walked my dog for over a year. She has also taken my dog to her home for the day and even overnight. She is trustworthy and most importantly, my dog loves her. She waits by the door for her every day!

It’s great to have peace of mind Knowing that my dog will be taken care of while I am at work in a professional responsible and caring way. Extremely reliable and always there when I need her.

We’re grateful to have found this service, excellent care provided.

Excellent, clean environment, great private luxury accommodations for all types of dogs & a caring , attentive staff 👍. Wonderful services available at great value for prices 👍. I feel secure that my baby “Junior”is safe & loved while I’m away! Go for a tour & you will agree! I am a Veterinary professional for 20 years & have been to many facilities but this one has them all beat hands down!! Thanks, Kathie Y

Went on a tour here and took our dogs for evaluations. The facility is gorgeous and very well kept. We saw a video of our dogs on social media which was fine. I also called to check on my dogs before they posted the video since it was their first doggy daycare. In the video, we didn’t love the volume of dogs in the play area. The dogs did great with their evaluation and the staff is absolutely lovely. We just noticed our dogs looked overwhelmed with all the other dogs there (it was close to 30 total that day). We were told max capacity is 75 dogs in a play area and they have appropriate staffing when they get to those volumes. I think it’s just a personal preference that we want our dogs in a smaller group environment so they aren’t overwhelmed. If it weren’t for the volume of dogs that go to this daycare, we would’ve used them daily but it just didn’t feel like a good fit for our pups

Our dog Lucy has stayed with K 9 Resorts a couple of times. One short weekend and then a two week stay while we are out of the country. When we picked her up on our return, she was excited, friendly, and very happy. All indications to us is our dog had a good time, looked healthy, and smelled fresh and clean from her pick up day bath. We are going away in late October and Lucy will definitely be staying at K 9 Resorts. By the way, after that Original short day, Lucy seemed excited when she went through the door going in for the two weeks stay, she liked the place, and that’s a great sign. Thanks so much for taking great care of her.

Sawyer loves hanging out with his doggie friends. The staff always takes such good care of him and he comes home happy and tired! We recently left him for 3 weeks and we worried about the length of time, but he came home happy and healthy.

My baby boy loves this place like a second home! It’s spotless and the staff is incredible (especially the assistant manager Lynette). As an over protective millennial dog mom I trust K9 resorts 100%. You can tell that everyone genuinely loves the dogs. I have peace of mind knowing he's happy and safe playing with his friends while I’m working. I have tried other camps before but none compare!

I can’t begin to say how thrilled we are w/ K9 resorts/ Emerson! The facility spotless, and each person there ultra-friendly and accommodating! They are all dog lovers- and doggone it! 🤗 It shows!! - great experience! The video of the dogs in the play-setting made one feel extra- secure and happy our Bentley was so wonderfully cared- for. Superb place-

Thank you so much, K 9 Resort in Emerson I very highly recommend this resort with a friendly and helpful staff thank you, Grace and Natalie for treating me and Brasi like family. He had lots of fun today on his trial. Can’t wait to come again. peter& Brasi 🐾 …

The best solution is when we have to leave our baby for a while. They are really caring and thoughtful! My baby is a 3-pound teacup, so I had to find a place I could fully trust. I'm glad I found it!

K9 Resorts is very well run with a staff that cares about the dogs staying there. It was the first time my dogs were boarded and I felt comfortable taking them there and was very happy with their care during their stay!

K9 Resorts of Emerson is a top notch facility. I had 2 dogs who have never boarded before stay at this location for 4 nights and they were well cared for, played with, and looked after with the utmost kindness and professionalism. I feel completely comfortable with the staff, facilities, and service at K9 Resorts of Emerson. I would highly recommend this business to anyone in need of dog boarding services. We will definitely bring our dogs there again the next time we are traveling. Thank you and kudos to the staff.
