Cat Sitters in Harlem, NY

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!

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.

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!

Priceless is amazing! Our dogs absolutely love it there and the staff are incredible. You can tell they really care about each dog & we always feel secure leaving our dogs there whether it’s for a day or a week. They take the dogs for walks in Central Park and are great with reinforcing good habits, so it’s like boarding and training all in one. They’re also very timely, reliable & professional in all communications. If you’re on vacation and missing your dog, just send a quick email and they’ll reply with pictures of what your dog is up to. And their boarding is cage-free so the dogs can sleep comfortably at night (our 2 dogs love to cuddle together.) Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe & fun environment for their dogs ❤️

I live in Chelsea-Midtown and still using only them for my dog. They really do treat them as priceless!

We’ve been bringing our sweet girl here for 3 years - daycare, boarding, everything in-between. This is her second home. Priceless is like family to us. Any dog would be incredibly lucky to spend time here ♥️

The greatest doggy day-care and boarding option we have ever used. Everyone at Priceless is phenomenal. Our two dogs (who are both quirky) LOVE visiting here. I have to avoid walking on that side of the street when I walk to the park or they try to pull me in! Hector, Nathalia, the whole crew are really great. They're incredibly responsive, easy to deal with, and communicative. The environment for the dogs is really welcoming and my dogs get really excited when they meet another dog they've seen at Priceless. Dogs get great personal attention. When we bump into some of the dog walkers on the street when they are on their way to or from work, they immediately recognize our dogs and give them big hugs! I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. Give them all your business!

The caregivers are exceptionally warm and welcoming to you and your pet! Everyone there is an Angel 😇 Your pet will certainly love ❤️ 😍 💖 being in such caring hands!!! …

I’ve been using Priceless since 2012. We have three dogs and Priceless has never failed me. Given that these are animals and all kinds of things could go wrong even in the best of care, it is pretty amazing that we have had all good experiences and our dogs are happy to go and spend time there. We use them for half-day and full-day daycare, as well as short term and occasionally longer term boarding. They are super user-friendly and life in our house would be much more challenging without them.

Once they told me they walked my dog 11-14 times a day because of his energy levels. My dog developed hot spots in between his paws. And why are you walking dogs on the hot pavement in the summer? The owner has deplorable social skills. The office manager, is a liar who has a real attitude problem. I can say a lot worst, believe me.

Staff is very kind and welcoming. They have different environments and atmospheres for the temperament of different dogs.

They take care of my dog so well! It's like his second home. He absolutely loves it! Also, my Shiba Inu is very particular (doesn't really like a lot of humans) but he jumps for joy when he sees the staff members at Priceless Pets!

My pup loves it here! She makes a bee line to the door when we round the corner. The owner is thoughtful and passionate about dog care. The facility is clean and cozy. Walks every three hours. They are so flexible and so responsive over email. They’ve made managing my dog’s care a breeze!

Julie took the very best care of my 2 dogs for a long weekend at our house. One of them is very anxious and shy, but she made both him and myself feel at ease. We love seeing the pictures she sends and posts. She is great to communicate with and punctual! We love Julie’s Jungle!

Julie’s Jungle is the absolute best! We have used Julie for pet service for over a decade and have nothing but praise for her and her team! They take pride in their work, show the upmost love and affection for your pets, and treat them as if they are their own family.

Julie is great with my 2 dogs. She is prompt, responsible and so kind! (She asked me to leave towels near the door so she could dry off the dogs after their rainy day walk!) I would not hesitate to hire her.

There is no one we trust more! Julie and her team are always there for our dog care needs. Our dogs get so much love and care. We get regular updates which allows us to enjoy our time away knowing our pups are in such loving and capable hands. ❤️❤️

Julie and Tyke were able to take my 10 year old bulldog at the last minute and allow us to leave for Thanksgiving. Tyke was amazing with my needy dog and provided many updates throughout the day. Julie makes sure to check in frequently to make sure everyone's ok. Great service and very professional & trustworthy. Will definitely recommend them to all my dog friends.

My dog and cat love Julie and her team! They do dog walks and I use Julie's Jungle often for pet sitting as I travel a lot for work. Julie, Mita, Kevin and Erica give so much love and I am always confident leaving my pets in their care. They send pictures often and I can see my dog and cat snuggling up with them. I highly recomment Julie's Jungle.

They took such great care of our two dogs - took very detailed notes and kept us well-apprised of all the fun they were having. The pups had such a blast I don't think they missed us!

Top notch pet care. There is no one I trust more with pets than Julie and her staff. They are thorough and thoughtful and take very cute pictures.

Julie is incredible, simply incredible! Julie takes fabulous care of my kitty whenever I need her.

We’ve used Julie for years and our pets barely notice we’ve been on vacation because they get such love and attention from her.

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

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.

Patti has been taking care of my dogs for a few decades, from my very first dog as an adult to the litter mates I now have. She is extremely reliable, consistent, attentive to the dogs and trustworthy. And my dogs love being cared for by her! I will give Patti my business as long as I have dogs….

Patti has been reliable for years not only for Odin’s scheduled walks but also last minute when we need a dog sitter overnight. She’s very kind and responsive as well.

Patti has been walking my dog for almost a year, and has been such a lifesaver. She’s incredibly trust worthy and my mini schnauzer is always happy, walked and well-fed when I get home. Patti is also great with communication and very quick with her responses! She’s been really flexible with my schedule and it has really made the whole process so convenient. Highly recommend!

We are so happy with Skootee’s! We’ve been with Patti at Skootee’s for over 2 years starting as a pup. Our dog waits excitedly at the door on pick up days to hang out with his friends at daycare and is wonderfully worn out at the end of the day. Patti is so reliable and picks him up at our door and drops him off. Just perfect. Thanks Patti!

I used them for my two babies always happy to see patty For 3 year's now very happy with them 😊 …

Patti has been walking my dogs for over 20 years. She is a treasure. Patti is totally responsible and reliable. My dogs have always loved going with Patti whether for a walk or a long stay. I feel so fortunate to have her for my pet care and can highly recommend her.

For many years, Patti has taken care of my dogs. She’s kind; she loves pets, and they love her in return. Patti picks up and delivers, and I can depend on her, because she is reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I highly recommend Skootee’s Pet Care Service.

Patty was super nice and accommodating. My cat loves her. I have used her for many years now, and she is always reliable and always nice and pleasant. In addition, her rates are unbeatable. I simply cannot find anyone better, which is why I drive 1.5 hrs each way from NJ just to drop off my cat before I travel. Thank you Patty!!

My dog Beckett spent many years with Patti, the pick up and drop off service is a god send. Patti is super reliable and Beckett always came home a happy dog. Great rates too. Would highly recommend.

Lexi loves going to day care. She always comes back a happy and tired dog, so I know she was playing all day. Patty is extremely attentive and caring, and you can tell by how much the animals love her. Pickup and drop off is extremely convinient. Outstanding service. Highly Recommend!

I recently took my dog Frida to Bronx Barx, and it was an amazing experience! The staff was friendly and truly cares about the dogs. The facility is clean, spacious, and offers a variety of activities, keeping my Frida happily engaged. I appreciated their focus on safety and supervision. Overall, Bronx Barx is a fantastic place for dogs, and I can’t recommend it enough! Happy Dog! =Happy Dog mom!

Bronx Barx is incredible. Renzo treated my dog like his own with so much love and care. My dog would sprint up the stairs to greet Renzo and be so excited to go to daycare - she does not do this at any other daycare we’ve taken her to! If we hadn’t moved away we would still be dedicated customers. They are flexible with last minute bookings. It’s affordable, too.

Highly recommend Bronx Barx. I used to bring my PUPPY Milo to PetSmart daycare but they told me he was "too hyper" so they put him in the crate. I looked around for a new place and found Bronx Barx and I'm so happy I did. Milo had such a great time and got all his energy out. They didn't keep him crated up and he got to play all day long. The staff was incredibly nice as well. I love that they have live cameras too so I could check on my baby. Milo was soo tired after from all the fun he had. Highly recommend!

I love Bronx Barx! Super knowledgeable and accommodating staff. The location is super spacious and they offer behavioral workshops. Can't recommend this family owned business enough.

I typically never leave negative reviews as they can be detrimental to a business, but my dog is now on anxiety medication and still dealing with PTSD from his Bronx Barx’s haircut. On November 11,2023, i dropped off my dog for his grooming appointment, this was his first time at this location but he gets groomed regularly with another groomer. I let the staff know how i typically like my dog’s hair cut and asked them not to cut the hair on his ears. When I got back my dog was completely shaved including his ears. The staff did not explain why he had to be shaved or if anything happened during his appointment. After arriving home i noticed both his ears had been cut open and had only stopped bleeding because the blood dried up. I thought it was just a small cut until I wake up the next morning with blood all over my apartment and all over my dog’s neck. After an emergency vet visit, I was told my dog was likely uncomfortable because of the pain and scratched the dry blood off. because if this incident he had to be on antibiotics and wear a cone for 2 weeks. I understand accidents happen but staff should disclose these types of incidents with clients. My dog now has to take anxiety medication to get groomed because he tries to bite the groomers when they touch his ears. Which is why I am forced to write a review as this has affected my dog’s personality and aggression. Not only did this cost an extra medical bill, it also has traumatized my dog and made him not trust groomers. Bronx Barx needs to hire professionally trained groomers who can communicate and put dog’s safety first.

Really lovely space and loving staff. Highly recommend Bronx Barx for a fun daycare for your puppies!

Update 8/19/2019 - I just left my puppy with these guys for a week! And she was so well taken care of. She was happy to go back and even gained some weight. I can't say enough about the high quality of care Bronx Barx has for the canine's in their care. I am so grateful for Bronx Barx. The quality, attention, and care that the staff show both to my puppy and myself is bar none. When you walk in you feel the positive vibe both from the friendly staff and the happy dogs! What's more, they have a doggy cam so you can check on your pooch through out the day to see how they are doing. This place is 5th Avenue quality in the heart of an up and up neighborhood in the south Bronx. My puppy is always happy to come here. It has become her home away from home!

Amazing grooming service. They left my mini schnauzers exactly the way I wanted them, paying very close attention to details. The price is also very affordable. Best grooming in the Bronx. I will be going back!

I took my 5 month old puppy here for his first grooming and I was scared as hell because people can be cruel. I’m never doing it again. His hair wasn’t cut correctly nor was his nails, only one of his ear hair was cut . I paid in cash asked for a receipt and the young lady told me the machine was down, it took two hours for my puppy to be done . I paid and once again asked for the receipt, the woman said she would email it to me. I went in May 15,2023 at 12 pm people tend to give themselves away with body language, im never going back. I tipped as well , the total was apparently $70.77 not worth the money or time. Terrible experience for me and my boy.

My dog Charlie just loves going and playing with the other dogs. He Aldi’s comes home nice and exhausted, I love the care they give my dog.

We are so happy with Andreia and the team. The day care for Riley, our bernedoodle, is fabulous and she is super happy. They truly love dogs and treat Riley as though she were their own! Thanks so much for the fantastic daycare!!

So unbelievably amazed at how wonderful the service has been here. I highly recommend this place to anyone who has a dog that they love and care for. Natalia will make sure your dog is taken very well care of! The grooming area was very clean, and they handled my nervous pup with great care. He looked so handsome after his session. He had shiny fur, trimmed nails, and was very happy throughout the grooming. Absolutely a 10/10 experience.

My dog loves being here with all of the love, attention and play he can get! Brand new clean and wonderful facility ! Attentive care and superb owners!

I wish I could hang out here! My dog is so well taken care of - he’s a part of their family. The owner listens and really loves the animals. We were so happy with the grooming vs others in the city. Cannot recommend enough - this team has exceeded my expectations in every way.

Nat has become our family dog groomer. Recommended her to all my relatives. She takes her time, listens, but will make recommendations, too. And the best hair accessories. Bailey always gets compliments.

We love Natalia!! After bad past experiences where my dog was scared told go back to the groomer, my dog is always so happy to see Natalia and you can tell she cares so much about it being a good experience. On top of that, Natalia gives my dog the best haircuts - we regularly get stopped on the street to ask who her groomer is. Even a few weeks after her haircut, people think she just got it done because of how good the styling is. We would follow Natalia anywhere!

Best grooming. They take such good care of my dog and he has the most perfect grooming every single time.

Super recommend Natalia,she’s such and amazing groomer,always taking such a good care of my cat

We are so thankful that Upper Dogs Social Club exists and our dog, Nigel, has the time of his life everyday. Andreia, Barbara, and their entire team are highly responsible, communicative, and enjoyable to work with. As someone who spends all day out of the house, it is so important to know that Nigel is being taken care of and is getting the exercise and socialization he needs when I cannot be there. I know he is in the best hands everyday, not only from how exhausted he is when he gets home but through the consistent updates and photos we receive during the day! Thank you Andreia and team!

Kathy always takes good care of my little diva Tortie, ReRe! Kathy sends my photos from every visit, makes sure she gets all food and medicine, spends time playing with her, and keeps litter box clean. I am so grateful that I am able to go away stress free!!! This photo is how ReRe greets Kathy when she arrives!

Kathy is amazing with our two guinea pigs, Beanie and Boots. She has taken care of them more times than I can count now. She’s extremely communicative and takes such good care of them. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone in need of a good, reliable pet sitter.

Kathy is fantastic. She made my dog very comfortable from the first time she watched him and is so reliable. I call her whenever I need to leave town and I know that my boy will be in very good hands. I highly recommend her!

It went great. He really loves and understands animals, and that shows in the quality of care and personal attention he gives his charges. My dog became best of friends with his dog, Nico, and loved socializing with his other clients' dogs (very few on any given days, since he does not do big group walks). My dog's mood visibly improved as a result of the social and physical activity that he provided. He could not have loved or taken better care of my dog if she were his own. Description of work: Andre, The Pet Concierge, took wonderful care of my dog nearly every weekday and overnight on weekends and business trips when I was away from home. He picked her up at my place each morning and gave her plenty of walks and lots of play and rest time--and fed her meals when I worked late. As she grew older, he carried her up and down stairs and made sure she remained as comfortable as possible.

I have used The Pet Concierge with Andre Kourkoulis for the last ten years. He walked my dog Lucas who sadly passed away last year. Andre would take him to the vet, stay for the appointment and administer the medication while I was at work which was a blessing. He also cares for Chloe my cat. She is 7 and is diabetic. Andre administers her medications and IV as well. I’m happy to have found somebody who truly cares about my babies as I do. He’s pricey but well worth it. I prefer to pay for individualized care. When Lucas was alive Andre only walked him alone. I never wanted my dog with a group of ten dogs. I’m so happy to have The Pet Concierge in my life. The best in Manhattan if you ask me. Five star service.

I have used Andre for the last 8 years. He takes such good care of Alex. Alex is 9 now and is on medication. Andre administers his meds and makes sure he has an individual walk as my dog isn’t the friendliest. I trust him with my dog and my home. Thanks Andre!

We were really scared of leaving our kitty for the weekend. But he made us feel safe, and all the questions he did let us know that he was on point of everything and knew what he was doing, he kept us updated every time, it was not necessary to text him to ask him, he will just send his daily update on time. Thank you so much for all the work you did with our lilo.

Great experience with them! Kathy was able to take me last minute and took great care of my cat, I recommend! :)

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

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
