Pet Sitters in Harbor Isle, 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 don’t often go away on vacation but when I do I struggle to find someone to look over my baby doggo whom I consider my life! Lol. I am a little skeptical about boarding faculties and would rather give my baby to someone who is trustworthy and reliable. I came across DeeDee through a friend and honestly, all my worries went away! DeeDee was super professional, patient with my little demogorgon and provided lots of tips and advice that I will most definitely be using on my 1 year old mischievous Beagle. Her and I communicated daily & she provided me with pictures and videos of my baby doggo being a wonderful boy. Oh and he got lots and lots of treats and had a blast with the other doggo’s that he prob forgot about me haha. This is the first but it most definitely won’t be the last time I utilize DeeDee’s services. 100% recommend!

I absolutely love this business my dog is macho the rottwilder and he is a regular here Are you worried leaving your baby with a sitter? Maybe they wont be looked after with the same love and affection they get at home Cant go out on a family vacation because your furbaby might be a little much? Stop right there this is the place for you she treats my baby as her own all my anxiety is gone awesome communication and very reliable no need to keep looking for a sitter SHES RIGHT HERE 😂 🤪💕

Left Onyx with DeeDee while I was in Hawaii. Best groom he has had all year! He came back energetic and without weird behaviors so no complaints here!

Dee is the best! She's reliable & accomodating. We have three cane corsos and because of her skill, patience and knowledge, she's the only boarding kennel well use. Checking in/out, meet & greets are super efficient. In general Dee just puts your worries at ease when you need to travel and have no choice but to board your pet. Dee sent us pics and videos during their stay and the dogs had a lot of recreation time which I know they loved being large breeds. When we picked up our dogs after 8 days they were happy, healthy & well taken care of. We look forward to working with you again Dee! Thank you!

Khadijah’s advice on potty training worked IMMEDIATELY! She taught me how to crate train my 4 month old pug, who was on his way back where he came from, in just a few hours 😅. Thank you so much Dee Dee’s corner! 10/10 would highly recommend! …

We don’t often trust people with our dogs while we are away, not sure if what they say on paper matches their actual services as far as treating the dogs as we were if we were home… Khadija, and the “Deedees Pet Retreat” team made us feel like we were still at home with our pups. Sending us photos checking in everytime they are. Layla our oldest often gets separation anxiety when we go on trips but the pictures Khadija sent us allowed us to rest easy knowing our doggies were in good hands. We highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking for not just a pet sitter but someone who will treat your dogs like their your own. Anytime we need our pups to be safe and cared for we will always be using “Deedee’s pet Retreat” thank you for your service and love to our babies.

Dee Dee’s Corner was amazing!! Our puppy felt so at home and was treated superb by Dee Dee and her team! I highly recommend if you are searching for an easy, honest, safe and fun retreat for your dog!

I had to go away for 2 weeks and found Dee Dee's Pet Retreat literally at the last minute. 2 minutes into speaking with the owner Khadija, I felt comfortable leaving my dogs for an extended period of time. Very kind, professional, and welcoming. I was also very surprised too see how clean and spacious the area where the dogs are kept was. Very good service and would highly recommend.

Dee Dee is amazing. She’s has come to our home and given us amazing tools and techniques to begin training our 3 month old puppy. She has a wealth of knowledge, is patient, professional and kind. Most importantly she gets the job done. I would highly recommend her to anyone e looking for dog training.

Dee Dee's corner did an amazing job caring for my dog while my family was out of town for a couple of days. When we came to pick her up see looked very happy and healthy! She even seemed sad to leave. The communication with the owner is punctual, we also recieved updates while we were away. I have been working with Dee Dee's corner for about 2 years and would reccomend her to anyone who's looking for a friendly and loving environment for their pet. 5 stars for sure!

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!!

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!

I love Cedarhurst Park!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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