Dog Sitters in East Atlantic Beach, NY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I use to come here but loyal customers with multiple dogs don’t mean anything to them! Early appointments don’t mean anything either first appointments and I was still getting my dogs after 3pm! The price always changed every visit! I go to Bones,Bath , and beyond now ! They’re awesome.. always have appointments, do a great job , and give my dog back in an hour and a half ! I’m a 3 strikes and you’re out kind of person!

Great staff! Love the service! They are awesome, my dog always looks so handsome after their grooming!

Best pet care and grooming and they truly get to know your dogs and their personalities and welcome them like old family members each time

Loyalty means nothing to this "family business". I missed a grooming appointment because of an emergency (why else would someone miss an appointment that they confirmed three times for?) When I called back to reschedule, I hear the groomer yell in the back with the nastiest attitude "She'll have to wait EIGHT WEEKS for her next appointment!" The kind man on the phone was smart enough to instantly put me on hold. He gets back on saying 'oh it's going to be tough to get an appointment blah blah blah' to which I respond listen if I'm going to have to wait weeks and weeks then forget it. He says he'll call back, okay. They called me the *next day* which just tells me they waited until the offended groomer was gone and asked the other one who worked the next day who said yes. Too late. I really trusted you guys and liked all the people who worked there and this whole interaction was really unfortunate, but if you treat people disrespectfully there will be something said. So congratulations to that nasty groomer - you just lost a customer that came about every 3 weeks, tipped 20% every single time (even though she would cut corners and not do a good job in general but I overlooked it because I understand being overworked) and never missed an appointment until this literal emergency. And lastly @TheBarrieInn please do not respond I literally don't care about what you have to say lol

My mini-poodle Brandy has been a customer of The Barrie Inn since she was 5 months old. She is now almost 12. My Dog absolutely loves going & this great place has the BEST for boarding & grooming. I have tried a few other places to save money but nothing compares to the Great Owners & Staff!

I had a trip planned prior to getting my Jack a 6 month old medium golden doodle. A lady I met in my doctors office recommended the barrie inn for training and the fido fitness club. While looking into that they mentioned they do boarding. Just picked my Jack up from his own vacation. He is pooped out from all the play and fun. They followed my feeding regimen including his special breakfast apple and learned all his quirkiness. I highly recommend the barrie inn to anyone who wants a place that loves and cares for their babies

Called to make an appointment for my dog. At first seemed nice. Then when they told me they don’t have anything available. I asked if they can give her a bath? They told me Friday at 10am. The women on the phone asked me for her name. As I gave her my dogs name I mentioned “ she’s been there before”. When she looked up my dogs name she started interrogating me why I haven’t been there over a year. She seemed so mad that I wasn’t there overly a year and told me ya I’m sorry we don’t have anything available. What changed? You had no idea who I was and was able to give me a time and day when she can come. To then tell me there is no availability. She was yelling at me and being rude. After the response I have just gotten that they are not available for another 3-6weeks. I have been told that if I bring my dog in next week she can be seen. I have brought a lot of business to this place for many years. It’s hard to have a conversation with someone yelling at you. I have been to many dog places. And this one I know I won’t be coming back anymore. I tried to be calm. And asked her why she is doing this? And she said bye and hung up. I have been there before with many dogs. If that is how you treat a paying customer then it’s fine I won’t come anymore. Just disgusting how you treat people over the phone.

Desiree, Chase, Marc and the team took such great care of my puppy. He stayed at the "Inn" for four days and made lots of new friends. I highly recommend the Barrie Inn and will definitely take Duke Ellington there again.

Amazing pet hotel. It's a 5 star retreat for our fur babies. The groomers also are outstanding. Very flexible, understanding. The facility is inpeccably clean always. You can see your babies from TV cameras within the entryway. And the price is just right. Yeshuah loves you and your soul is priceless!

Love this place and everyone who works here! The team here is fantastic and have been a life saver for our family surviving two puppies at once. Now 7 yrs old and still loving every visit. Whether it's doggie day care, boarding or grooming, the team here are the ones you can rely on to provide top tier care for your fur family. Thanks Barrie Inn /Fido Fitness team!

Hounds Town is one of the best places to bring your dog for boarding or day care. They treated my boy Hobi (brown/white Beagle) like family while I was away for a week. Hobi looked so happy with the other dogs, and I know he was given lots of love while my family and I were away. There was an outbreak of Kennel Cough when he was there, but he was already vaccinated and caught a minor case of it. Overall, I love Hounds Town and I will definitely come again when I need to board Hobi or bring him to day care!

Our dog is considered one of the family so leaving him in a safe and trustworthy environment is of the utmost importance when go on vacation. Our dog (StanLee) is always excited to go to Hounds Town Garden City and the tell-tale sign he has a great time is he is exhausted when we pick him up. One nice personal touch that we get from Hounds Town Garden City is at they post pictures on their private Facebook page. We look forward to see him playing with his new canine friends. We typically see him playing and having a great time while burning some energy. However, we do see him up to some mischief with his hound friends (see the pictures below). We thoroughly enjoy the service we receive at Hounds Town Garden City and highly recommend them.

Great place that treats our four legged friends wonderful. They share photos of the dogs interacting with each other which lessens any stress about leaving them. I highly recommend them for day care or boarding.

Colleen, Lauren and the entire staff at Hounds Town do everything possible to make your dog feel at home, which allows families to have piece of mind when they're away. The facility is bright, clean and nicely decorated. They separate the dogs during playtime by size and take so many great pics of them together. When you're part of their FB group, you can see the photos of your fur baby having fun, which always brings a smile to your face. You have the option for an exit bath or spa treatment, which is great after a stay with lots of play. When our pup turned 2, we couldn't believe Hounds Town put up a sign, balloons, gave him a birthday crown and took pictures. How special!! The staff loves dogs and it's evident the minute you walk in the door and they see your fur baby. They are responsive, answer all of your questions and make you feel at ease. Many people in our town go to Hounds Town because of their incredible reputation. I highly recommended booking a stay or day care for your furry family friend! You can even schedule a 15 minute meet and greet prior to.

Staff are very welcoming to you and your dog. You know he is in safe hands and will be looked after. Sincere and kind o your dogs needs and to the owner. They have a excellent knowledge of a dog's behavior, which helps so much. Bailey loves going to play and knows he is safe, I know this too. They are exceptional! Best Ever!

Our baby beagles love going to hounds town twice a week! We love that they rotate the doggies so they have someone new to play with every so often. They get to go outside to get fresh air and sunshine. They are very tolerant of me calling on lunch to ask about my babies. Lastly we LOVE that they post pictures of the pups everyday so we know that they have a great time.

The employees here are truly amazing! They treat your dog as if they are their own and it means so much! My dog is pretty attached to me, but when he gets to daycare, he runs in and doesn’t look back! Because of Houndstown, he is great in social environments with other dogs! Colleen, Sarah, Lauryn and Erin (as well as all the staff) are so good to my boy. There’s no greater comfort than knowing he is good while his momma works! Mr. Cooper loves hanging out with all his friends. I can’t thank the staff at HT enough for providing such a special place for my guy!

This was the best doggy day care ever!! My 10 month old puppy Lilo had the time of her life and was exhausted! Workers were so kind and caring about the dogs! She was there for 9 hours and got a little report card when I came to pick her up.

I had to leave my dog with hounds town garden city for an extended time frame. The staff took such good care of my dog for the many weeks he was there. He came back to me beautiful and happy, Barney loves the staff at HTGC. The boarding and day care are great. The people that work there are kind and attentive. I will continue to bring my dog to them. I trust them with him very much. I did not have to worry at all about my dog while he was there, I knew he was in good hands! Best place .

I don’t have enough great things to say about HTGC and the staff there! Our American Bulldog, Scott has been attending Hounds Town for the last few months for daycare and boarding and has truly found a safe and loving place to spend his time. Scott entered Hounds Town a SUPER anxious and shy pup and has flourished into a confident, happy, and social dog. No words can describe how sweet, supportive, and PATIENT the staff have been to our sweet Scott. They go above and beyond to accommodate all of his needs no matter how big or small the request. Not only did they provide him with a safe space, they provided him with SO much love as well! All the staff has been responsive and fantastic with communication as well whenever we are away!!

We have been using this company for over 5 years for three of our dogs. They have amazing availability and they are extremely understanding and flexible with our family’s constantly changing schedule. Our dog Journey got very sick with cancer and was on chemotherapy for about a year. Knowing that she had walkers who loved and cared for her was such a relief during these difficult times. I cannot recommend their services more!

In home pet service came highly recommended by my neighbors. Robyn and Taylor are always quick with their responses. The walkers that we've had are Rianne and Donna. They are puntual, reliable and truly cares for my dog's well-being. I love that they created a notebook to fill with updates of each walk. They've also been incredibly accomodating to our short notice requests, which has been a lifesaver on busy days. It gives me a peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.

I highly recommend In Home Pet Service for anyone needing reliable and caring pet care. They have consistently taken excellent care of my two pups whenever needed. The dog walkers are friendly and genuinely love my dogs, which is evident in the way they interact with them. They go above and beyond by not only walking them but also playing with them, giving them belly rubs, ensuring they have fresh water, and providing treats. It's such a relief to know my pups are in good hands with In Home Pet Service.

We are so happy we found In Home Pet Services. Robyn and the team are always so prompt to respond and courteous to our needs from the start. Every dog walker has been professional, kind and reliable which is so important for us. We are comfortable knowing our dog is in great hands. We would recommend using them to all of our friends and neighbors!

I’ve been using Robyn and her dog walking service for many years. They are always reliable, friendly and flexible when I need to make changes in the schedule even at the last minute. One of my dogs is a rescue and wary of strangers. He was easily won over. I appreciate the walkers a lot. They are kind, professional and their experience w animals shines through in the work they do.

After three days and two nights away, I returned home to my wonderful, happy dogs. It is great to know I can now have a little vacay without the worry of finding quality, caring dog care. Thank you In Home!

Robin and company are 5 star service. I have been with them for over 10 years, and they have done a great job caring for my dog and occasionally Clyde our cat. Last year our elderly dog had gone blind and they take great care. I have great confidence if you choose their service you will not be disappointed. I cannot say enough of in home pet services.

We’ve been using In Home Pet Services for several months. We have two dogs: chocolate lab and jack Russell terrier mix. The chocolate lab was not a problem at all walker was able to take him out on a first visit. The jack russell girl took several visits and a lot of patience. Now we are getting help from pet walker even on feeding of both dogs:) while we are in hospital. For short getaways where we cannot take the dogs we will use In Home Pet Services to day sit two our dogs. Lastly the service is very flexible and reliable. Glad we’ve found this gem in our neighbourhood.

In Home Pet services is amazing. I have used them for maybe close to 10 years. I love the way they write a small note of the walk for the day. My dog is always excited and ready to go. They are also super accommodating and responsive when you send them a mail. I have only had a positive experience.

We have used In Home Pet Services since our dog was a puppy, and have had a great experience with them. Robyn is very responsive and flexible, and has always fit us into the schedule - even for last minute visits. After our visits we always get a detailed report of how our dog did & we look forward to coming home from work and reading them! Robyn also will share photos of our dog with us, it’s great to see how she’s doing with our walker! We would definitely recommend Robyn and her team, our dog loves her walker so much it relives any stress we have about leaving her home while we go to work.

We love Dan’s Pet service as do our pets! We have 2 labradoodles and a tuxedo cat. We have used Dan’s for a couple of years now for overnights, walks, feeding, medicine dispensing, as well as rides to the groomer. The walkers and sitters always send us the cutest photos and sweet updates on how they are doing while we are gone. It gives us peace of mind that our animals are being cared for as we would care for them. They always respond and are even available last minute. Dan’s is a pleasure to work with and we are grateful for their care and services!

I first started using Dan's Pet Care when I had surgery and was unable to walk my dog. It was unexpected surgery so I had to get help quickly. They were very accommodating. They were very professional - on time, very good with him, and tired him out! Since then I have been receiving their emails about their services and gain valuable dog care tips along the way! For example, how they limit their walks when it is excruciatingly hot outside. When the time came for me to find help while I went to work, I knew where I wanted to bring my now 2 pups! They had opened their crate free boarding & day care facility! And even though I do not live close by, it is 100% worth the investment and travel time. They have multiple team members with all eyes on the dogs. The facility is set up so they have tons of room to run and play. It is super clean. They are upfront and honest about everything going on in their facility and well organized. I have also boarded my dogs overnight there. They were snuggled up on a bed! Looked like a slumber party! They pay attention to detail with every dog. One of my dogs has a lot of allergies and I don't have to worry about her getting into anything she shouldn't and don't have to worry about them giving her anything she shouldn't have either. The best part is how excited and loving everyone there is and how excited my pups are to spend time there! I get daily report cards and pictures which further adds to my peace of mind. Thank you Dan's Pet Care Team!

They are your babies, trust is a huge factor. Dan’s is trustworthy. My dogs look forward to the visits and breaking up their day. Kurt the trainer is gently and effective explaining dog behavior and how to encourage good behavior. So easy to work with. Happy dogs!! Happy me!!

I’ve been using Dans dog walking service for a while now and am so happy with the care and time they spend walking my Dog - Arya. They are punctual and always very nice to work with. They are easy to communicate with and always respectful of my home. I couldn’t be happier to know my fur baby is happy with the Dans services

Dans Pet care is amazing! Our dog goes multiple times a week and is always so happy. The staff is great and even took care of our dog when he was sick. We love the report cards too!!

Dan is very serious about the people who work with his dogs and it shows. Everyone who has ever interacted with my two girls has been caring, responsible, and professional. They listen to my requests and get to know my girls. I recently had Dan's while I was away for the weekend and I felt comfortable and reassured that they were in great hands. It made my trip that much more relaxing and enjoyable. Glen Cove has a real treasure here.

When traveling or away for the day, we've relied on Dan's to walk, feed, play with and visit our two dogs, a lab and a multipoo. One staff member is kinder and more professional than the next, and the dogs are treated like THEIR family members. We've done several overnights, all of which have been great. We especially love the app, which allows us to easily make appointments and receive detailed updates about the visits with our dogs. They even include photos. We never have a worry when someone from Dan's is with our dogs. And, they treat our home with respect and care. This is one of my favorite businesses of all time!

The personal care and love makes the difference between Dan’s and others. Add to that the daily photos of Fionas walks and the written summery makes you confident your pet Is in the best of care

Love Dan’s ! Always get thorough feedback from staff who are super professional. My dogs are not easy but it never deters my walkers as they always come with a smile and make it a “no stress” event. The company is great w communication, they answer all questions quickly and make themselves very accessible. Great company !

Dan's is an extremely reliable dog walking service! I have been using their services for years and have never had a problem. The notes that the walkers send summarizing their visit with my dog are always fabulously detailed and delightful, and the pictures they send of my dog on his walk are very reassuring! I dont hesitate to recommend this service to anyone!

Michelle and her mother are fantastic dog sitters! They take such great care of Simba, always making sure he’s well-loved and happy. From walks to playtime, they understand exactly what he needs and keep him entertained. Simba always comes home relaxed and content after staying with them. It’s clear they have a genuine affection for him, and I couldn’t ask for better sitters! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible, caring dog sitters.

I have been boarding my dog, Simba, here for a while and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Michelle and her mother were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They took the time to get to know Simba, ensuring he felt comfortable and at ease. I LOVE how attentive and responsive they are at any moment and receiving updates and photos during his stay, which reassured me that he was having a great time. Simba came home happy and well-cared-for, which speaks volumes about the care he received. I HIGHLY recommend to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and loving environment for their furry friends. We have been coming back time and time again for the past 2 years.

I found Michelle and her mom after my dogs daycare closed down. I can’t express how incredible they are!!! I have crazy schedule and they are always extra accommodating. My dogs love going there. Whether is for few hours, full days or for extended periods they ensure my babies are taken care of. You see the love they have for my babies. I definitely recommend them to anyone. If I need to drop them at 6am they are available. If I am running late they are available. Going on vacation they are available!!! They are super dog lovers!!

Had a horrible experience with these people. Left my dogs there for 3 days they called me 6am the first morning to come get the dogs because he was barking and they couldn’t sleep. The person I met was not the person who watched the dogs. My dog doesn’t bark so there was something wrong and making him uncomfortable. Either way the person who contacted me in the morning telling me I had to come get them was extremely rude and nasty. Don’t ever trust these people with your dogs. There are plenty of responsible dog sitters out there. Stay away from these people.

Michelle was great, our dog loved being there. She was very accommodating with everything and our dog Jack enjoyed his stay with her and her family.

Michelle has taken care of my dog Max for over a year now. He adores Michelle and her whole family. She always updates me regularly when he's in her home and he comes home happy. She is very prompt in her responses and makes sure to message me back right away, which is very important and a major reason I feel comfortable with her as my dog sitter. Her personality and good attitude is a bonus, as she is very friendly and personable. I would recommend Michelle to anyone I know without a doubt of hesitation. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle and her aunt did great with my lil old angry guy !!! I appreciated them soooo much I wanted him to stay home so they came directly to me and it all went well

Michelle has taken care of both my dogs Pepper and Stacy for over two weeks and I cannot feel more happy with her services. She has informed me daily on their progress and how they are doing and honestly this is the first time that they were left home alone so I was very skeptical but in her care I never had to worry about anything! I definitely recommend her services to everyone and I will see her in a couple of weeks!

Our pup Monty had a great time with Michelle! She was very sweet with our girl from the beginning and made us feel totally at ease. Monty surely has no critiques except to probably stay longer. I would have loved some more picture updates as it was our first time really leaving her but Michelle was so flexible and communicated a lot over text which was greatly appreciated. Can’t wait for her next stay!

My husband and I dropped our dogs off with Michelle for a weekend. She was very polite, responsible and professional. She kept us updated on their walks and playtime’s and sent us pictures! I would highly recommend. It’s nice knowing that your pups are in good hands while your away. We will def use her services again :)
