I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Elena is a wonderful person and fabulous with animals. She has been taking care of my rescue dog since 2019, and I feel so lucky to have found her! He warmed up to her immediately, and she is kind and patient with him. Elena follows any specific directions exactly (including leaving certain lights on etc.) - she even goes so far as to do extra things if she thinks it will help, like giving fresh water if the bowl is running low. Elena is communicative, very reliable, and truly cares about all of her clients. Chauncey is always happy and content after Elena's care and it is clear that she does an exceptional job. If you need someone to care for your pet, choose Elena!
Absolutely recommend Elena’s pets! Elena was so flexible and communicative when arranging my dog Ed’s walks. She is very reliable and my dog took to her immediately (which says a lot because he can be very particular). My dog has some frustration-based reactivity, and I was happy to learn Elena had experience with this. She managed this without issues and I feel very secure having Ed in her care. Will 100% keep using her services!
I had the pleasure of hiring Elena’s Pet to take care of my four legged son and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Elena is not just a dog walker but a true pet lover. She was punctual, reliable, and always greeted my four legged son with a warm smile. What sets Elena apart is her genuine care and attention to detail. She always provides updates after each walk, letting me know how Raddie did and if there were any special moments during the walk. I highly recommend Elena to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog walker. Thank you Elena, for your outstanding service.
Elena has walked our two hound dogs on two separate occasions. Both times went great. Elena was very communicative, sent us updates on the dogs like we requested and even shared a couple of pictures from the walk. Elena has been very responsible in her ways of handling the dogs and easy to communicate with along the way. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter.
Elena is wonderful!! She took care of our 2 dogs (including our special needs diabetic dog who requires insulin shots) during a family vacation. She was so attentive to them, sent daily pictures and updates. They love her and are so happy to see her when she comes by for walks! I am extremely protective of my dog babies but when they are in her care I know they are in excellent hands. Her colleague Taj is also wonderful and great with the dogs. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, trustworthy, loving pet sitter look no further then Elena!
My wife and I have been using Elena’s cat sitting services for two years now, and she never disappoints. She’s dependable, professional, and maintains consistent contact with us while we’re out of town. We used to worry about ensuring our cats were cared for while we traveled, but now we rest easy knowing we have such a reliable sitter. And most importantly, our cats have grown quite fond of her! If you’re in the area and need a cat sitter, I highly recommend Elena.
We have a menagerie: with cats, turtles, and fish. Elena is wonderfully dependable in caring for them all, with a kindness that has gained her the confidence of even our most shy and elusive kitty. We appreciate daily updates with photos from each of Elena's visits. It is great to return home to happy well-cared for pets after our times away. We highly recommend Elena's Pets services!
Elena is the only person I trust with my elderly, chronically ill cat. She’s incredibly diligent about administering all of her supplements and medications (which can be tedious), and always makes sure to check in if anything changes or if she has questions. Elena always sends pictures of my cat and her prepared food bowls at every visit (and of the empty bowls to show that she has eaten well!) — this really puts my mind at ease when I can’t be there to take care of her myself! She is always trustworthy and reliable — in two years she has never been late or missed a visit — which is the most important quality in a pet sitter. It’s a bonus that Elena truly cares about my little one’s wellbeing and is respectful of my home. It’s a big deal to trust someone with your house keys in NYC, and I would recommend Elena to anyone without hesitation! She is truly a star petsitter and my cat and I are lucky to have her in our neighborhood!
Elena has watched my senior dog twice and he absolutely loved his time with her. She sent me lots of updates with photos and videos and she managed all of his medications without issue. The best thing about Elena is that you can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she’s with and in the few days she first spent with my dog, they developed a bond. He even recognized her months later out on the street before I did! I can’t say enough great things about Elena - she’s the best dog walker and sitter in the area, paws down! 🤓
Elena is wonderful! I highly recommend her, I loved that she took time to come over and meet my dog Theo before my trip so that they could meet in his home where he was most comfortable. This past week was the first time that I had left Theo with a dog walker who wasn't family, so I was a bit nervous, but Elena was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos every day. She even FaceTimed me on the first night because Theo was a little skittish, but then he warmed right up to her! She walked him twice a day and fed him, and I appreciated that she was always quick to text if she had a question or needed clarification to make sure Theo was fully taken care of.
Love the Perfect Pooch. I found them through Google and Yelp reviews and the reviews are so accurate. I was so worried as a new dog owner and they treat my dog with such care. They started watching him before he was fully vaccinated so more pet sitting and they were fantastic. I got tons of updates and pics and they truly care for the pets. They’re great about notes and requests and did a great job feeding him and keeping him entertained. I most recently tried their overnight service which was fantastic and didn’t disrupt my puppy’s routine. I always feel like my dog is cared for by folks (especially Joy!) who love dogs and take extra care to treat my puppy with kindness -highly recommended.
Leeland takes such good care of our 2 big pups! Her walkers are caring and detailed. My dogs love them and look forward walks with licks and kisses. We receive photos from each outing!
Maggie is pure joy. She's also a 55lb diva who needs a long walk every day to keep her being a pure joy as my workday co-pilot. I had a scary experience with a solo dog walker, and then I found Leeland, who heads the Perfect Pooch. Lili, Gable, Raeven and sometimes Leland herself walk Maggie both alone, and sometimes with great buddies. I've seen them outside from a distance, and know how Maggie is super excited when it's time for their arrival. Maya stayed with Maggie while we were away, too. I feel confident and very comfortable knowing Maggie gets her walk (no matter the weather). The portal is very easy to use for communication, and payment, too.
I have been using perfect pooch for cat sitting for several months now. They have watched our cats during several trips. It is easy to schedule via their app, they are reliable, take good care of our cats, and always send follow up notes and pictures. As an added bonus - they also leave our apartment tidy - vacuuming up litter and taking out the cat food tins.
We moved to the UWS fulltime in 2022 and are so grateful to have found Leeland and her team at The Perfect Pooch. They are caring, professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. It gives us such peace of mind to know our pup is in their hands for walks, boarding, and dog sitting.
Chase is thrilled everyday because he gets to see his favorite people at The Perfect Pooch. He goes on fabulously documented outings with responsible walkers. Couldn't be happier!
New to the city and have been using the perfect pooch for over a month and weve been so happy. They use an app to message, schedule, and share all the happenings including real time mapped walks, timestamped visits, photos and a sweet message from the walker. Leeland the business owner is wonderful and communicative and came to meet our dog and then set up a meet up with our incredible primary walker Rheanna! Rheanna has been so great with our dog Finley, so respectful of our space and just an all around great person. Thank you for all you do for Finley!
My experience with The Perfect Pooch has been overly positive. The business owner is very responsive, and helps to do all booking, scheduling, payment, and messaging through a commonly used app. All employees have been trustworthy in my home, including the business owner who shares in the workload during busy weekends. Employees are largely detail oriented as well as cat-friendly and very patient even in the face of very shy cats who can lock themselves in a room.
I've been using The Perfect Pooch NYC for about a year now, and they take the BEST care of my little chihuahua! He was a COVID puppy, so I hadn't had to leave him with a walker/sitter before, but Leeland and her team are so professional, caring, and warm that I felt comfortable instantly. My dog be a little feisty (to put it nicely) but he adores his walker Ashley, and she keeps him happy and in check on their daily Central Park walks. I've also used them for overnight boarding, and was so impressed with the quality of care and updates. Can't recommend Leeland, Ashley, and the Perfect Pooch team enough!
As a very satisfied customer of the Perfect Pooch for a few years now, I have relied upon them for overnight pet sitting, walks, and at-home puppy sitting for three of my large breed dogs. I am so incredibly grateful to have them in my life. Leeland is a joy to work with, and the walkers are highly skilled, well trained, loving, and perennially punctual. However, an even higher recommendation comes from my dogs—they are so happy to see the walkers when they arrive that they completely forget I exist.
Lucie is great, she took care of my little guy for a couple days and he looked very happy when I got him back. Thank you!
Love this place! You can ask questions, staff is awesome
The pet boarding service was amazing. Dana was in constant communication with us, sent photos and made sure our dog was very comfortable. She picked him up and dropped off at our apartment which was very helpful due to our travel plans. I recommend this service!
Dana is amazing! My husband and I moved back to the city with our 1 year old puppy, Zelda, last summer. She was a nervous wreck and everything scared her. We needed a dog walker and Dana was the answer. Zelda loved her from day 1 and Dana has helped her feel more confident and secure. Dana is amazing with animals and I wouldn’t leave Zelda with anyone else.
From the first moment I spoke with Dana on the phone I felt like this would be a perfect fit. Then she came over to meet our dog and cat before we left for our trip and I could see what an animal lover she is. During our trip she sent pictures and this helped us relax and know they were well cared for. I highly recommend Noah's Arc Pet Care.
Like many other residents in our building, we have worked with Dana for many years, trusting her to skillfully and lovingly care for our pets while we are away. For the past several years, Dana has come into our apartment to take care of our cats while we are away on vacation. In a work, she is fantastic! Dana is friendly, reliable, trustworthy, great at what she does, and very clearly LOVES animals. Our cats are so happy and well cared-for while we are away, as evidenced by the pictures and videos Dana sends us. Her care for our cats has always been second-to-none. She doesn’t just feed them and clean the litter box, she stays and plays with them – above and beyond the call of duty. We look forward to working with Dana and having her care for our current cat for may more years to come!
Having Dana walk our very big energetic puppy for a full hour at noontime has been a god send for us! Charlie loves to see Dana. He’s so excited to see her he practically jumps up into her arms (all 70 pounds of him) and when he comes home from his walk, he’s happily exhausted for the rest of the afternoon - so I can work! Dana’s reliable and personable, communicates really well and sends me photos of their adventures real time.
Our beloved Kobe is our number one priority and we could not be happier with the services that we have received from Noah's Arc. First of all I feel like I known Dana forever. She is beyond lovely!! We are new members of the family and feel so at home already. They are attentive, flexible, reliable and are available even in short notice. Our dog Waller Francisco has been so sweet and adoring with Kobe which totally melts my heart. He definitely goes the extra mile with her care which brings me such comfort and joy. Their Time to Pet app is such a great and easy tool to navigate. I love that I can get a detailed report of her walks, activity and the pics are an added bonus. I would highly recommend them with no reservations to anyone in need of assistance with their pets. I believe that they treat everyone like they were their own which is a rare commodity.
Our 2 pups LOVEEEEE Dana! From our first email exchange, I knew I found someone truly special to help me with our puppies. She’s responsive, reliable and a genuinely amazing human being. We’ve welcomed her into our family and couldn’t be happier!
I’ve hired Noah’s Arc a number of times now, and everybody I’ve spoken to/worked with has been incredibly kind and professional. Latoya and Dana have always been responsive and flexible, even when I’ve called them last minute minute; and Francisco and Patricia have probably given more attention to my cat that I usually do. Their daly emails and pictures show a very happy kitten, indeed!
Dana & co have cared for my cats, Buford and now Luna, for well over ten years now and inasmuch as I always worry when I travel , I always know the “kids” will be in good and loving hands. (I sensed it the second Dana came to meet Buford and me, what seems like, at least, nine lives ago.). As any feline co-habitant will admit, you always worry about the feline threat of revenge for “abandonment” but I always return home to a calm, happy and loving cat. Not to mention, Dana being there and going out of her way in an emergency. We cannot recommend Noah’s Arc more!!! 🐱🌙
Dana was incredible right from the beginning, treated Kokusho as if he were her own. My pet is not the easiest, yet she got along with him with ease. I feel really grateful for having found Noah's Arc Pet Care!
Steve has been a life saver ever since he started walking my dog. Reliable, safe, fun, I know that when I’m at work and Steve has my dog I couldnt feel any better. They have gone above and beyond multiple times from doing a perfect job cleaning up if my dog had an accident in the crate, to just being aware of simple things around the yard, Steve will reach out and let me know. I would give them 6 starts if i could. I highly recommend Boogie n Pals!!!
The absolute best! We cannot say enough about Steve and Wendy and their staff at Boogienpals. We trust them all 100% with our precious pup Luie. And we are very picky. They are caring, courteous and professional. They work with our hybrid work schedules day to day, which is important these days. Look no further for the best dog walking company!
Steve is amazing and our dog loves him! He is 100% trustworthy and professional. Highly recommend.
We love Boogie N Pals! We have a big energetic pup and a stop-and-smell-the-flowers little pup, and they're both always so excited to see either Steven or Evelin when they come to walk them (which is the most important review to us!) Steven and Wendy are also the sweetest people, and their organisation is second to none. Their online portal is so clear and detailed for those of us that like the extra info, and they're great about communicating and meeting you where you're at. Highly recommended!
Steve and Wendy provide an amazing service. We have a very strong 85lb Bernedoodle and they do a fabulous job walking and taking care of him (so does Evelyn). I love that they came over to meet him prior to starting their services and provide updates and pictures daily, Brody always looks so happy while on his walks. Their communication, scheduling and billing is super organized and they are always extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Boogie and Pals!
I have been using Boogie N Pal for dog walking service for over 6 months. Steve and Wendy are beyond accommodating to my chaotic schedule. Not only do they walk my pups but also feed them. Evelyn does most of the evening walks for us now and always takes great care of my fur babies. Excellent service and would recommend without reservation.
Boogie n pals are fantastic. Wendy and Steve are super easy to work with, dependable, communicate extremely well. My pups love when Wendy takes care of them while I’m away. I get pics, video, and texts from Wendy during each walk. Wendy goes above and beyond caring for my pups. I’m so comfortable with boogie n pals can’t say enough good things about them, I highly recommend them.
Boogie n pals has been a life saver for our busy family! Our 100 lb golden retriever moose is so well taken care of and loved by the boogie n pals team. They are not only communicative and kind but so thoughtful and loving to our moose. We never have to worry! Moose gets a mid day walk from their team almost every day and we would be lost without them. Thank you Steve and team!
I cannot give enough kudos to the Boogie N Pals team. I needed a cat sitter on super short notice this past summer and Wendy came by within 30 minutes of my call. She was professional and kind and really put my mind at ease during my 5 day trip abroad. Since then, Boogie N Pals have been my go-to team for cat care too many times to count. They always send me updates and photos of Nugget which give me peace of mind and therefore, allow me to enjoy my time away from home. Steven and Wendy love Nugget like their own and because of that, I definitely recommend Boogie N Pals for anyone who needs pet sitting services.
TWO BIG PAWS UP! Boogie N Pals are the best!Leaving your puppy at home when you go to work is traumatic - both for the puppy and the owner. Wendy and Steven put us at ease from the first day we met them. They came just to meet our puppy and were so calm and patient with her. Within a couple of visits and walks our little girl was happy and enjoying herself -- and we felt so relieved. Steven and Wendy send pictures and updates each time they come. Our puppy looks forward to their visits and we look forward to the pictures and videos. The two of them clearly have a way with dogs and have improved our puppy's walking as well. They are consummate professionals and we feel very fortunate to have them making our puppy's day so much fun when we can't be there. If you need someone to brighten up your puppy's day when you are away I highly recommend them!
I only use the daycare. I think they’re good. My only challenge is that my dog can get there at 8 am. They walk him at 12 but he stays until 7:30-8:00pm and you have to pay if you want extra walk.
River Pet is such a lovely place to board your pets. They have a very friendly staff and a kind insightful manager. Dr. Zelinski is amazing with animals! She has helped my cat return to a regular glucose level. Thanks to Dr. Zelinski, my cat has made a complete remission from his high glucose levels. We thank you so very much!
Great and accommodating staff, never had a bad experience with them even with our very difficult dog.
Thank you, Dr. Zelinski. My vet recommended that I bring my elderly dog to River Pet for rehab therapy, to treat her severe arthritis and strengthen her hind legs. Dr. “Z” could not have been more attentive and patient, and we are extremely pleased with the results. I am very impressed with this fantastic facility and wonderful, kind staff. Very highly recommended.
Thank you Dr.Z and the staff at River Pet. Whether it is a day at camp or an extended stay my 8 1/2-year-old boxer is extremely well taken care of and loved. Many of the staff members have been here longer than the eight years my boy has been coming here. MAC is my child so you know only the best for him!! Esty is always kind and patient, and Frank Is one of the gentlest souls I have ever met. Sam is just as kind and does amazing grooming!!! All of the staff members are truly excellent. Congratulations for being part of a valued and trusted business. Much thanks and love Mac and his Mommy. XXOO
RiverPet is the best! Our dog LOVES it there. They offer free swimming - yes they have their own pool! Staff is amazing and they love all their guest. I know people from Manhattan who make the trip to Edgewater to board their pets here. A++++
If you have a "pitbull" type dog, get ready to be discriminated. I was told from the get go my dog wouldn't be able to join in at doggy day care which I wasn't too happy about but I accepted since it was their policy and my husband and I were in a pinch. I was assured however my dog would get plenty of walks to compensate for the time not allowed to run around with the other pups. Did that happen? Very unlikely. When my husband and I picked up our dog, his voice was nearly gone and he was acting very timidly which is unlike him. He's a very energetic and happy dog. When we asked whether he had been barking the entire time he was there, we were told, "Oh, no. He must've just heard you over the phone and started barking." BULLSH*T!!! I'm sure this place is great for lap dogs but if you have a larger dog, better find somewhere else. Definitely not worth the money.
It's like taking my girl to her other home. Staff is warm and loving towards our pets. Groomer Samantha is just wonderful as well as knowledge. I come from New York to have services at Riverpet!
Highly recommend Pascal (sorry if that's not the correct spellingof his name!) for grooming. He did a fantastic job on my very furry Siberian huskey!!! She was shedding really badly and took her in got an appointment right away really great staff and she look beautiful. Will deff be rebooking again and feel very happy with results and how nice the staff were. Thank you River Side pet you are the best! :)!!!!
Boarded my Husky for a couple of days while we were away and couldn't be happier with the care they showed him. We have another trip to the Caribbean coming up and already booked his next stay. Great staff!!!👍 …
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!
Best dog walkers ever! The Bow Wow Boys always take the best care of our finicky little Frenchie. They've been faithfully and lovingly walking our crazy pup every day for over 2 years. Whenever we have to work a little late or go out of town, we always know that our fur baby is in great hands with the Bow Wow Boys. On top of all this, their online scheduling system makes creating and canceling services incredibly convenient. If I'm going to have to work late, I can schedule them to come over that night, walk, feed and snuggle with our little fur ball. Wish I could give them 100 stars! PS: They take the best photos of our little nugget on every one of her walks (a service they do for all dogs they walk).
I am just celebrating 3 years with Bow Wow Boys. Bob and Drew are AMAZING! They walk my boy every day and stay at my apartment with my cat and dog while I am away. I always know that they are in the best hands with these guys. They are like family to me and go to the greatest lengths to make sure all of their animals are taken care of and loved. I can not recommend their services enough!
The Bow Wow Boys are fantastic and took great care of our dog for over four years--from when she was a few months old to when we moved out of the neighborhood last month. Drew, Bob, and the walkers on their staff are professional, flexible to schedule changes, and truly caring toward the dogs they walk. Everything you could hope for in a dog walking service!
One of our foster dogs was hit by a car and died due to negligence. The walker did not have his hand looped through the leash, bent down to coddle the dog when she was scared and she was hit by a car. Walking dogs is a huge responsibility. Coddling a dog when they’re scared is absolutely the worst thing one can do. Aside from this, the walker did not have his hand through the leash. This was a very tragic experience to say the least.
Amazing Service. They were able to schedule a visit with me promptly. And start walking my puppy the next day! I also love the fact that they sent pictures and provided details about the walk! I am really happy with the communication and service
She’s very caring and conscientious with my pet dog. She’s very loving and patient towards my dog ,and gets along with her very well.I highly recommend Jennifer. Ed S
I couldn’t be happier with the care Puchi Pet Paradise provided for Kubi and Bubble! They went above and beyond to ensure my pet was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while I was away. The daily updates, photos, and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they truly love animals and take their responsibility seriously. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
She was truly great with our dog moshi! Would definitely recommend her 👍 …
Best cat sitter!
Crown Pet is an exceptional facility providing loving, expert care to all pets. We were pleasantly surprised to receive daily videos of our pet throughout the day, documenting his interaction with other dogs, walks, play time and feeding. It was our first time boarding our dog and Sarah and Susan made us feel comfortable to leave him- especially when we saw how well he was treated hands on! Their supervision is beyond anything we’ve seen in other facilities.
Absolutely amazing experience with Crown Pet! My dogs, Jaemee and Archie, spent a week boarding at their facility while my husband and I were on a trip. We were both quite nervous because they are not the easiest dogs to take care of. They are very sensitive, have little appetite, and have had limited social experience with other dogs & people. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see how comfortable they became with the teachers, staff& other doggy friends at Crown Pet. From the videos & photos they sent us everday, we could tell that our dogs were happy. We are truly grateful for everything they did for our dogs and feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a fantastic doggy boarding place. Thank you so much, Crown Pet! 정말 정말 추천합니다. 감사합니다!!!
Great pet loving people. I'm so glad this place opened back up as a pet facility. We use to frequent the old shop and our dogs were instantly comfortable when they returned to this new shop. We this far have used them for day care and boarding and our dogs loved it they have this futuristic hair drying machine where the dog sits inside and gets blown in all direction. It rained one day and our dogs got to experience it. The owner I met, Susan, is wonderful they really genuinely care for the well being of my dogs. The facility is clean and organized. It is also bright and cheerful. The owners also run a pet rescue because they are so committed to the animals.
I am very thankful to the whole team at Crown Pet for taking good care of my dog Luna. I had to board her for a week because we had to be out of the country. This is the first time she will be away from us so I was nervous. Susan recommended to have her socialize with the other dogs for a few days before boarding her. They sent pictures and videos of her everyday and I really appreciate it. They did a great job and I will definitely comeback for their service. Highly recommended.
Great place for pet boarding in Bergen County!! We brought our two dogs(Jadon and Mason) in before our month long international trip, and Susan’s team was more than accommodating for their stay. From daily and regular detailed updates (photos and videos of their meals, walks, playing, etc included), to top quality care during the entire stay, they made us not worried at all during our pets’ stay. During out pets’ first few nights they were feeling uneasy because they aren’t used to being in a new environment other than home, but Susan and her team carefully made sure that that they were staying healthy and made boarding feel like home. Later on it really seemed like our dogs were enjoying their time there! Thank you to Susan for making Crown Pet a wonderful experience, and for keeping in touch!
I’m so glad I found this place for boarding. They have indoor and outdoor areas where the dogs can get some sun (when the weather allows). My two dogs LOVE staying with Susan and her awesome team. They send me pictures, short videos, and updates on my dogs while they stay over there, which is lovely. They are not just a business, they genuinely care about our pets. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for daycare or boarding!
We are so happy to have found a high quality doggie day care for our fur baby. Susan, Sarah, and staff show so much love, attention, and care to their four legged friends. The facility is clean, bright, and nicely decorated. My Bella loves going there, and I love seeing the videos and pictures of Her during the day. She has made friends, and seems so happy. I wish Crown Pets LLC all the best! They truly are the best! I highly recommend bringing your fur baby there for a great experience.
We are so grateful for the team at Crown Pet! We have a miniature schnauzer that is very sweet, but she really needed good training because of her anxious behavior toward other pets. We had hired other trainers in the past, with multiple visits, but nothing seemed to work for her. Then, we had a private leash training with Sarah, which has made a big difference for Luna since then. And with just one day of training with Sarah, wow! She looked so much calmer and well-behaved. After that, Luna had her first daycare in their facilities, and to my surprise, she behaved well and was calm around the other dogs! I'm so happy to find them, Sarah, Susan, and all the team; they are very knowledgeable and compassionate. Thank you!
Susan and Sarah are the best! We took our foster here for their socialization class. We wanted to find a trainer that was familiar with Jindos as they can be a very difficult breed to train and socialize. Sarah was extremely knowledge and helped our foster overcome his fear. His aggression decreased and he had so much fun in class meeting other dogs (you can see in the video that he is playing with other dogs now! Previously he would be extremely aggressive). Sarah also provided us with a lot of useful tips and training techniques that we use in between our classes. She’s extremely responsive and you can really tell that she cares about our dogs like it’s her own. The facility itself is also very warm and welcoming. They have plenty of space for the dogs to play and socialize. We can’t wait to continue taking our pups to Crown pets. There’s truly no one else we would trust to take care of our babies. Highly recommend.
My dog Tofu comes here for daycare and boarding! He is having so much fun (maybe a bit too much!) and always excited to go! We receive constant videos/photos of him playing with friends. A tired dog is a happy dog! Susan, Sarah and the team are genuinely care about dogs (they even run a rescue) Highly recommended!
Dorothy’s Petcare is the best and most trustworthy place to leave your dog. I’ve been using them for years. Their staff is all incredibly kind and they take amazing care of my pup. The owners are very caring and wonderful to work with. My dog can be a bit of a challenging case and they take it all in stride. I think one of the best parts of this service is that they include relief walks for your dog in their service. This is not a common practice from what I’ve found. Thank you Dorothy, Darius and team!
Dorothy and Darius, Danny, Jonathan, and everyone who has taken care of our dog has been amazing. Dorothy takes care to let me know who will be taking care of Rosie, either picking her up from my home or being with her at the shop. They take care to send videos of the dogs playing or walking, they know when Rosie hasn’t felt well. They have helped me to get her better when she was very sick (including taking us to a vet who actually saved her life, no exaggeration!). They are lovely, caring people. Dorothy and Darius are completely trust worthy, kind, helpful. Most of all, my dog loves them and all the people who walk her, especially Danny and Jonathan. She goes crazy when she sees them, even if she happens upon them in the neighborhood. I recommend Dorothy’s Petcare without hesitation.
I cannot express my gratitude for Darius, Dorothy, and the entire team at Dorothy's Petcare! Odara was thriving when spending her time there, and we only stopped because we moved abroad. They are attentive, careful, and compassionate. Whenever we would walk to Central Park on weekends, Odara would try to squeeze under their door, even though they were closed, because she loved spending time there - and this is the best feedback we can get from dogs ^^ I highly recommend them to anyone and if I ever go back to NYC, they are surely my first and only choice.
Darius and Dorothy are absolutely fabulous. I had always had my dog stay with my parents when I went away so this was my first experience boarding her at overnight and my dog Pippa and I could not have had a better experience. Darius and Dorothy made the process so easy and are extremely responsive and thorough with getting all of my information and meeting with me and Pippa prior to her stay. They even let me bring Pippa's favorite faux fur blanket with her so she could sleep on it. They emailed me several times while I away, updating me with how Pippa was doing along with photos. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter - not just because they are so professional, but that they truly love dogs and are such caring and compassionate people.
We've been clients of Dorothy and Darius for nearly one year and could not be happier with the level of service they provide. The care and attention to detail their entire team provides, reassures us that our girl Rossi is in good hands. We never have to worry about schedules or issues, they treat us and our girl like family. We highly recommend Dorothy's Petcare, without hesitation.
After a couple of less than satisfactory experiences with dog care, I lucked into meeting Dorothy and Darius and they went on to help me with my dog for more than 9 years. I have an erratic work schedule and somehow they were always able to accomodate it. They were much more than dog walkers; they were a stable, loving part of Scout's life and real partners in his care, right up until the end. Five stars are not enough to explain how I feel about them and their team. Ten stars are more like it.
As a teacher who just moved to the Upper West Side over the summer with my new puppy, I was extremely anxious about going back to work this Fall. My little girl Lulu was so used to spending 24/7 with me and I worried about her transitioning to being walked and watched by strangers. I didn't feel comfortable with a lot of the nearby companies I observed who all seemed to have a dozen dogs at a time. Not Dorothy's Petcare. The minute I met Dorothy & Darius I could tell that they were no only top-notch professionals, but also truly love all of the animals in their care. I was very impressed with how carefully trained their walkers are and how knowledgable all of them are about not just dogs in general, but even bull dogs who require special attention. If you are a person who appreciates the details in service, then you should give this company a try. They matched me up with Stephen who Lulu adores. Every day Stephen shoots me a text to let me know all went well and when I return home from work, I can be sure that her water dish has been rinsed and refilled, her leash is put away, her sweater is neatly folded, a light is left on, and her kibble is topped off. Because I live near them, I also have the opportunity to observe many of the neighborhood dogs being walked. They never have more than two or three dogs, and they are given lots of attention and love. That was important for me to see because I know if I can't be the one to walk my doggie, then I want whomever does to actually care. In fact, because Lulu is a puppy, Stephen found that she was a lot to handle with other dogs. So, instead of just dealing with it and pulling her along, he made the decision to walk her alone. Obviously time is money for a business that gets paid by the half hour, but for Dorothy's Petcare, it wasn't about the money, it was about what was best for my pet. You have to admit, you aren't going to find that kind of service this day & age! I would never want anyone else to watch her, trust me, you'll feel the same way once you see how happy your dog is when she or he sees his or her walker on those days you call in sick : )
These guys are great! My dog is almost too excited when I'm leaving town, because it means she gets to stay with them for a little doggie vacation. They're very responsible and great with communication. I've used several different services in NYC but Dorothys Pet Care is by far the best I've seen. Highly recommend.
absolutely horrible, dishonest service. Very unprofessional. They call prospective employees in to “train” and then just have them do free labor without hiring. So not only do they screw working people over, but they’re having inexperienced people handle your pets. Don’t solicit this business if you care about working people or the well being of your pets! EDIT: it appears this business decided to responded dishonesty, quite consistent with my experience with them. Their apparent "head walker" was on his phone not paying attention the entire time I walked with them, so if that's their best to offer, quite indicative of their services! The notion that I "dropped the leash" while walking is a hilariously desperate lie, who does that? At least try to come up with something believable! A bunch of shady losers
I love taking our company dog here! He plays outside all day in our shop and get's really dirty, when he comes back from Dorothy's Petcare as clean and gorgeous as can be. The staff is extremely polite and friendly
