Worst experience EVER. I took my cat in for a bath and nail trimming, granted my cat wasn’t able to get a bath due to Not being cooperative. So when I got the call to pick up my cat since she’s unable to get a bath but how they trimmed her nails I did so, but once I got home and she ran out the bag I noticed that she starts licking her paws, and Her paws Have blood on them and the more I started to look I noticed that the groomer had cut her claws extremely short! One of her claws was cut EXTREMELY SHORT it looks as if She no longer has a claw, and I wish I was Exaggerating. I tried to take pictures of her claws but she was startled as it is but I still managed to get some pictures. I called the grooming Place crying because never in my life have I’ve ever seen her nails cut this short to the point it was bleeding so bad. I am very aggravated and disappointed!
I bought the Husky I had just rescued to get groomed, and he returned shed free. My house was a fur ball beforehand. Great job.
Our beloved puppy went for his first haircut, and boy was he happy. He came home and we had a long talk. He said the ladies there were great. They were so gentle and kind. He really enjoyed his time and is looking forward to the next trip. Thanks -Fitz What he actually said when he got home was: Bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark bark... Bark bark, bark bark bark bark bark! Bark bark bark!
Absolutely terrible left my puppies here for boarding and grooming. Left them here for 5 days by the time I picked them up I can tell they were anxious and uncomfortable here. I payed for grooming service in advance and didn’t get the service done because the puppies weren’t “cooperating” what type of grooming place is this like it’s your job you should know how to work with puppies or dogs who have a hard time cooperating clearly you don’t know how to do your job. Not only that they didn’t give me back the money cuz they claimed my puppies “damaged” stuff like nowhere in the contract did it say I had to pay for damaged items which I have a hard time believing my puppies did because that place looks gross and disorganized as it is. Lack of professionalism from the girl definitely showed. Absolutely awful!!!! Customer service awful
I haven’t taken my dog to the groomers in awhile so I was hesitant to finding one and going in for his first official grooming in awhile. Plus with his anxiety. Very nice people and wasn’t expensive. My 7 y/o Kato came out perfect!
The groomer here really did a wonderful job for my princess Lily. Jojo truly gave her the princess treatment and cleaned her up beautifully. She has bad hips and they knew how to keep her sensitive hips comfortable. I am confident I’m going back to receive the same treatment for my princess again.
Love them. They always do a great job grooming my dogs and they are happy to go there! Can’t say enough about them, definitely check them out. The staff is friendly and listens to your wants/needs…won’t go anywhere else for my baby boy and girl
Was recommended by a friend. Specifically asked for one of my dogs NOT to be shaved but just cleaned up, they shaved him almost bald and cut him on his stomach and around his privates. My other dog I wanted a little longer, it appears they trimmed his face unevenly and barely touched his body, he looks like he has a big body and a little head (he is only 4.5 lbs). I had to cut his rear myself because when he came home and went to the bathroom it was all over his rear. I am very upset my dogs look ridiculous.
Awesome job once again! They are always accommodating to Piper. Highly recommend their services.
The girls took care of my 2 boys! They were so nice, caring & full of good energy. Archie & Austin look great & will be back!
Love & Care is wonderful! Chris is always sweet and profession and super accommodating with our ever changing schedules. We have an amazing dog walker who comes daily to walk our lab mid-afternoon, as my fiancé and I work long hours. Our puppy is so well cared for and our home is very respected. Because of Love & Care, we can sleep soundly at night knowing that our highly energetic lab will be taken for a walk (safely) and properly cared for when we are unable to. We would highly recommend Love & Care!
This is a fantastic service for mid day dog walking ! Everyone at Love & Care is professional, communicative, trustworthy and a reasonably priced option to ensure my dog is taken care of while I'm at work. They customize a plan that works with your schedule and have a flexible policy on cancellations in the event one needs to happen. Leaving doggy daycare was a challenge for us when we moved out of the city, but feel so fortunate that Love N Care provides great service !!!
Love and Care is so wonderful, we can't think about our life without their help! My husband and I both work full time so knowing that Love and Care is there everyday to take care of our two puppies is such a great sense of relief. They love Tommy who comes by everyday and spends quality times with them. And whenever we need an unexpected visit at the last minute, they are always there, they never have any problems fitting it into their schedule. Chris, the owner of Love and Care is always very pleasant and polite. We highly recommend Love and Care to every pet parent!
Love & Care is everything you could want in a professional pet service company! I work long hours during the day and need someone to walk my dog mid-day. My Love & Care walker provides the companionship and exercise my furry baby needs while I am away. I would recommend Love & Care's services to any Pet Parent!
We've used Love and Care Pet Professionals for several years and they have consistently delivered outstanding service. We have had no issues with them. Our pet sitter, Angela, is always on time and Ernie, our Italian Greyhound, looks forward to her visits. They are always responsive when we need to cancel or add visits, even at the last minute. Highly recommended!!!
We have used Love & Care repeatedly and have been very happy every time. We get detailed notes about each visit and every time we return, not only are our animals happy, our home is well cared for. They are above and beyond when it comes to having someone come into your home. Very respectful. We have 2 cats and a puppy and it's far better than any kennel could ever hope to be. They get to stay in the comfort of their own home and still get personal, one on one attention. You never have to worry about picking up pests or coughs or sickness like you do with kennels. They have also been extremely accommodating with last minute changes as well as always being available even on busy holiday weekends. The administration is very well run and I get a response the same day as I contact them. I highly recommend Love & Care Pet Professionals.
Love and Care has been taking care of our dogs for the past two years. They are very reliable. I feel very secure knowing that the same person we can trust comes to our house and takes care of our furry loved ones. They have been very responsive when booking our care provider. The care provider herself keeps in contact with us while we're away to tell us how the dogs are doing. We couldn't be happier.
I wholeheartedly could not imagine Love & Care not part of mine and dogs' lives. Our dog walker for the last four years is now a great friend who treats our three dogs better than we do. I feel blessed we have her in our lives. I never feel not informed if there are changes in the schedule as things are so well organized and run like a well-oiled machine. I have and would recommend L&C to anyone.
I've been using Love & Care Pet Professionals for several months now. I am very pleased with the service! They are very reliable and my puppy loves when Michael comes to take him for a walk! I would recommend them to anyone!
It has been easy to schedule pet transportation with Love & Care. They are always on time. My 160 pound Mastiff Boomer is very friendly but is stubborn about getting in the car. Brian has always been very patient and helpful getting Boomer in and out of the car, especially after his surgery when he was not felling his best. Boomer likes Brian. Love & Care is dependable and has been a big help.
We just returned from an 8 day vacation and our Teddy stayed with Lulu for 9 days because we had to bring him the night before we left. This was our first time boarding Teddy and I was very sad and worried about leaving him. We had been bringing Teddy to Lulu’s doggy day school for a couple of months before the trip to get him used to her and to being there and I think that really helped. He’s become very comfortable there and loves Lulu and her boys! He’s also become very friendly with the other dogs there. Lulu calmed my nerves by sending photos and updates each day! She took such good care of him!! She cleaned him up after digging and watched diligently by the front door knowing he likes to try to run! I love how she gives them ample time to run and play and balances it out with rest time too. I would whole heartedly recommend Lulu for boarding and I feel confident knowing I have Lulu for future boarding needs!
After speaking with Lulu on the phone regarding some puppy issues I was having difficulty with we set up a date for puppy training at her home. I dropped my puppy off for the day. Throughout the day I received photos and videos of my dogs progress with her and his socialization with the other dogs there. He looked very happy and seemed like he was right at home. Lulu has such patience and understanding for these beautiful animals and has such a beautiful way about her training. Upon picking up my puppy I walked him around the property before speaking to her and I could see just in the time he was calmer, a very alert to Lulu. He had definitely made a connection with her. I was very impressed and look forward to working with her more for pup training and boarding.
I got a new puppy a few months ago (Sunny) and although I've taught her a lot, I believe she needs more training and socializing than I can provide her right now so I brought Sunny to Lulu and she is doing great in her care! She gets to play with new friends and learn at the same time. Wonderful place for her and Lulu is always in communication with me each day I bring her to school; sending pics and videos of Sunny's progress. I highly recommend Lulu if you need help with your dog too.
We have brought our two girls to Lulu and they had an amazing experience! We can’t wait to bring our third fur baby for her to enjoy the magic of Lulu’s care! Lulu has been so helpful with our one senior dog- she is a rescue (former puppy mill mama) who had a sudden onset of cognitive disturbances and sleep and stomach issues. Lulu’s freely offered guidance, care and suggestions on natural remedies have improved our little lady’s health so much and gotten us back to a level of normalcy for our family again. We are forever grateful to Lulu for her support, knowledge of canine health and natural remedies, supplements and healing foods. If you haven’t met her, please do!! You and your pup(s) will not be disappointed!
My experience with LuLu has been absolutely amazing!! I told Lulu while dropping my dog Winter off that she is extremely nervous and suffers anxiety when in situations she’s not sure of, I was nervous myself because my dog has never been anywhere without me before. She reassured me that she will work with winter to feel comfortable and distress her. During her stay she sent me lots of video/ pictures and updates which made me feel comfortable and put my mind at ease. I couldn’t believe how quickly winter progressed !! She went from very anxious to absolutely thriving, I mean look at that picture she sent me!!!! I’m so happy I found LuLu and absolutely recommend her.
I have the pleasure of knowing Lulu for 18 years. Every endeavor she has ever pursued she has stood above all the rest! Lulu Naturally Dog Sitting is no different. I am a very protective mama of my boy Ranger James. I didn’t think twice about where my boy would go while my family would go out of town. I have seen Danielle in action and it is amazing how she has complete control and such a soft demeanor of handling the dogs in her care. I get pictures and updates numerous times during the day. For those nervous doggie parents, this is such a nice touch. My Ranger always comes home so happy, healthy and smelling so amazing. If you are looking for peace of mind when you travel, Lulu Is your girl!
Lulu is wonderful with our pup Kai. She is caring, efficient and always has the dogs best interest at heart. Every time our dog stays at her home he is happy and well cared for. I would not go anywhere else anymore. We love Lulu!!!
Dog training was well worth it! Lulu was patient and shared so much with me, making me understand my puppy better. Her knowledge and skills made me feel so comfortable, and she left me with amazing training skills! Highly recommend! You can tell she is passionate about what she does, which is another bonus!
Thank you again for taking great care of my puppy! I'm happy to be home with Stoney and pleased to know I have a wonderful, safe, caring special person to help me with him! 💙🐶Thank you, Lulu! …
There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Lulu. She goes above and beyond to be accomodating. Our schnauzer, Klaus requires a ton of attention and I feel such at ease when he is with Lulu. I am able to see he is getting his much needed outdoor time with the daily updates and pictures that Lulu sends. I have even sent him without enough food and she has made him food. Not only does Lulu take such good care of Klaus but she accommodates all my last minute pickup/drop-off time and date changes. Lulu has a radiating kind, gentle and caring spirit. I am so grateful that I can leave with peace of mind that Klaus is in the best care.
Finding Jamie was a blessing. She’s kind, caring, energetic. Her home is immaculate. Her family is lovely. She has been available every time we have needed her. Our pet, Jake, loves being with Jamie and her family. Sometimes I think he is disappointed when we pick him up! 💕
We have nothing but amazing things to say about Jamie! Our dog Tater has stayed with her and her family for daycare as well as overnight a few times. He is always very excited to go there and play with the other pups. Jamie is very communicative via text while they stay sending pics and updates. It’s such a relief knowing our pup (who can be a little high maintenance and clingy) is being well cared for in a home with people who treat him like part of the family!
We are so incredibly grateful for Jaime. She cares for our pup like her own and he absolutely LOVES going there! She has been so accommodating to our crazy schedule, and it is so reassuring knowing our golden is well taken care of and having a blast while we are at work. Couldn’t recommend more!!
Can’t say enough good things about Jamie. My two dogs go to her weekly and love her so much. She is always available when needed and come home happy and tired.
So glad we found Jaime! Trustworthy and caring. We can go on vacation with no worries. Our pups are excited to see and spend time with her. Highly recommend.
So happy I found Jamie to love and care for my little fur babies. She is soooo good with them and 100% reliable.They get so excited when they see her walk through the door. She cares for them as if they were her own! She has cared for them since they were 4 months old! Highly recommend for anyone looking for doggie daycare and/or boarding.
Both my dogs absolutely love Jamie. They are so excited to see her any time she comes to walk them or they get dropped off at her house. She sends pictures and updates and I never feel like I'm bothering her when checking in. We're very lucky to have found her.
Jaime split the dog visits with me, and we were a great team. We only had one key, but managed to take care of 2 dogs 3 times a day! So glad we found Pet-Friend!
Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter We traveled internationally and was concerned as to where to leave our precious Dog Rubee 💞 We were given updates and pictures and videos the whole time we were away Rubee 💞 was exercised and made part of their family as well. Highly recommend Jamie and Miss Rubee 💞 will surely be back there on our next vacation. After all Rubee 💞 needs a vacation as well.
Very friendly took very good care of both my dogs, always on time, very trustworthy to go in my house to let my puppies out everyday...would definitely recommend her to care for your pups 🐶 …
Laurie and her team were excellent. They kept me up to date with my fur baby’s progress during his stay which put my heart at ease while away on vacation. Sent me lots of pics. I mentioned his ‘gotcha day’ was coming and they went above and beyond and threw a big ‘pawrty’ bash for him along some friends and tons of present. Love it. Highly recommended!!!
Dog Days Pet Care is the only place I will trust with my sweet boy Buddy. Laurie, Cliff and their staff are amazing, loving caregivers. My pup loves it there. The pups have a great time playing in the beautiful yard. There are pools to cool off on hot days. We love receiving daily updates and pictures of Buddy playing with other dogs, which he rarely gets to do. Having peace of mind and knowing Buddy is safe and cared for makes going away so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you Dog Days🐶❤️🐾
The entire team at Dog Days Pet Care are AMAZING! We couldn't be happier with the service and loving care that they provide our dog. Each team member is so warm, personable, and truly invested in the care and well-being of the dogs. They send photo updates each day, and are always responsive and prompt in their communication. We have such peace of mind when our dog is with them, knowing that he is cared for and safe. I would highly recommend any of their services!
Pretzel had an awesome day at "Dog Days Pet Care and loved playing with the other pets". Amber took great care of him and the day care was emaculate. I am so happy with the care he received and thank my dear friend for steering me in the right direction for Pretzel's care. I feel so much at ease leaving Pretzel in their care for our vacation. I cannot thank the team enough!! Thank you, thank you!!!!!
Dog Days Pet Care is hands down the best! I have been using Laurie and her team for the last few years and I cannot recommend them enough!! They go above and beyond with all of the services they provide.
If we could give 10 stars we would! We booked the Almost Overnight service for 7 days while we were out of the country. Laurie and her team were so professional. They went above and beyond to make sure that our pup was taken care of and happy. They followed the directions we left perfectly. We got a pupdate twice a day with so many pictures and videos which showed our pup playing, eating, drinking, napping, peeing, etc. We HIGHLY recommend Dog Days and we will be utilizing more of their services in the future. 🐶♥️
I have to say that this is by far the best experience I have had at a doggy day care. I contacted Laurie once I found her on google and she immediately set up a meet and greet which I loved because I would like for my dogs and I to meet with the person that is taking care of them. During the meet and greet she assured that all the dogs she cared for are vaccinated. Laurie’s home and back yard is big, beautiful and most importantly clean! You would not be able to tell that she has dogs in her home because her home did not smell! The first thing I notice when I go to a dog boarding is the awful smell of dog! Not here everything was clean, neat and tidy! The fencing around the yard is very secure. When I dropped my two dogs off Laurie welcomes them with hugs and kisses and I knew that my dogs would be in good hands. She made sure all my questions and worries were answered and sent me updates while I was on my honeymoon everyday. Everyday I received pictures of my fur babiesss! I was so grateful and most importantly stress free. I actually got to enjoy my vacation this time! Every time I go away I am always at a panic because I’m so scared that they aren’t being treated well. This vacation was different, my dogs even looked different when I picked them up. They came home happy and smelling of fresh berries. Laurie you truly have a love for dogs and it shows! Thank you for having my dogs and treating them like family. I am so honored to have such an amazing person to care for my dogs when I need a quick getaway! Xoxoxo Yisell, Justin, Mia, & Messiah
I cannot recommend Dog Days enough. We had the Almost Overnight package with a few additional visits while we were away for a few days and Tara, Laurie, and Monica took amazing care of our two husky boys! We had never left them alone like this before and were nervous that they would be upset or destructive while we were away, but we came home to a clean house (thanks to Laurie for vacuuming the weekend's tumbleweeds during one of her visits) and very happy dogs! The Dog Days team was in frequent communication about when they were coming and gave an extremely thorough report after each visit (complete with pictures) that left us so at ease. The team also adapted seamlessly when we had a surprise paw injury right before our trip that required a cone and medication for one of the dogs. Your pets are in amazing hands with Dog Days!
What a wonderful service. Laurie and her professional team took my last minute request for my 2 dogs and we couldn't be more pleased. We were hesitant to leave our dogs at the vet or boarded somewhere with other dogs since they get easily stressed. We are so happy we found Dog Days for in-home pet care, our dogs were stress free and their routines were able to be maintained with 4 visits a day. All feeding and routine instructions were followed, plenty of pictures and updates were sent during our trip to give us peace of mind. We will definitely be using this terrific service again and would 100% recommend anyone who hates leaving their pets for an extended period of time to use this service! Thanks again!
We brought our 3 1/2 yo dog here for the first time and she loved it. Laurie went over all the requirements and their resort was very clean and spacious. Her and her husband are true dog lovers. They sent us pictures throughout Lucia’s daily visit and we were happy. We will definitely going back! They even gave us a gift bag when we picked her up. Thank you Laurie and Cliff for making Lucia’s visit a memorable one!
We have used In Home Pet Service many times and Jesse is great with our two dogs. Jesse is very professional and it really is a nice feeling to go away and know that my I don't have to worry about my beloved dogs. She not only takes care of their basic needs like feeding them and taking them out, she spends time playing with them and giving them some needed TLC. I enjoy my trip and they enjoy having Jesse come to play with them. I highly recommend In Home Pet Service and their staff.
I really appreciate In Home Pet sitting Services! Jesse is great and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in her care. They are very reasonably priced, better than any other pet sitting service out there and I would know because I have experience with pet sitting services. I was so thankful to find them and don't know what I would have done without Jesse! Thank you for your great service! My pets were calm when I got back from my vacation, I was so surprised but so grateful! I look forward to many more years with In Home Pet sitting Services!
Jesse is a lifesaver when it comes to taking care of our two dogs of which one is a special needs , extremely fearful female Coton. Her patience and knowledge of animal behavior are exceptional as she has been able to work with her barking and growling. Our dog has done a 180 and now welcomes Jesse when she arrives instead of running in the opposite direction. We do not use in home pet service on a daily basis and Jesse still has been very accommodating and felixble whenever we do need her babysitting services for our dogs. I absolutely would recommend in home pet services and Jesse!
I would highly recommend In home Pet services. Jesse is great with our dogs, she is very professional, reliable and loves animals. Her pet sitting includes sleepovers so we've been able to go on vacation and feel very relaxed knowing our "babies", all four of them, are in good hands.
Jesse watched over my 116 pound Rottweiler. My family and I went away for a week while Jesse came several times a day to care my dog. She sent us daily emails to let us know how Tank was doing, taking medications, feeding, etc. She also took him on daily walks and wrote notes for us daily also. We highly recommend In Home Pet Services.
We highly recommend this company to anyone who has to leave the animals they love for any period of time. Going away for 2 weeks with 3 big dogs left at home was so nerve wracking but from the first day to the last, we were updated (in detail) daily as to how they were doing, along with pictures and video! From what both Gina and Maureen were writing, I could tell our dogs must have felt very comfortable and happy because we recognized all the behaviors they were writing about. Very professional with such a love for our pets. It made our time away from them very comfortable without the constant worry. Plus, they were able to take care of all the tumble weeds of shedding Bernese Mountain dog hair and keep my hanging plants blooming. They totally exceeded our expectations.
I have been using Gina as my pet sitter for years even before she started wth this company. My dog has separation anxiety and some health issues and I could not ask for anyone better to watch her than Gina. She truly goes above and beyond for every animal she comes in contact with. Her knowledge is vast and her work ethic is strong. For anyone who is nervous about leaving their fur baby with anyone, fear not if you use Gina at In Home Pet Services. She is the most reliable person and she will always make sure your animals are taken care of. I wish. I could give her more than 5 stars!
My family and I went away for a week out of state. Jesse stayed in our home to watch our dog Casey. She gave us updates when we contacted her and explained everything she does. Jesse gave us the peace of mind that Casey is in loving hands and our house is safe. I highly recommend In Home Pet Services of Patchogue-Medford.
I was looking for a reliable petsitter and that person is Jesse of In Home Pet Services. I was able to really enjoy my vacation out of state because not only did my dog Snickers take a liking to her but she took the time to explain what she does for my pet and asked what i wanted for Snickers. I received daily updates which put my mind at ease that Snickers was doing just fine. I returned home to an extremely happy dog!!! I plan on using Jesse @ In Home Pet Services again for future sittings. P.S. she feeds the fish too! Thank you again, Snickers and Patriche
In home pet services of Patchogue- Medford is the most reliable pet service I’ve ever used and I’ve used a bunch! Gina the lady I deal with and communicate with is pleasant and gives me plenty of feed back on my dog Willis. I work all the time, so knowing my little guy is taken care of by people who actually care about him means a lot . Can’t recommend them enough.
I researched a few places to bring my German Shepherd as I had to go away to attend to a family matter. This place does not disappoint. Top Notch! Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. They treated my boy like family. Lois was great and my boy instantly felt at ease with her. Simply the best in the area.
Definitely liked Hounds Town and the organized way they handle the dogs. I appreciate that they did a Temper Test to see who and how my dog reacts with. Also love the fact that they are out playing all day! Looking forward to having my little guy back there to play soon!
Give Alyssa and Dan a raise! 😉 Seriously though, Alyssa walked me through everything from the minute I called for the first time to inquire, to my puppy’s first day at day care, and she has been there for us ever since! She always has a smile on her face when I see her at the front desk and she made me feel comfortable from the very beginning leaving my puppy at HT. Another employee who is always smiling and very welcoming is Dan. He always goes out of his way to give my dog affection and attention to make her feel welcome and at home. I truly appreciate these two young professionals making my puppy and I feel comfortable and at home at HoundsTown! Thank you to the HT team ❤️
They refused to complete a pet evaluation even though they had the availability to complete one. They stated that a pet evaluation is good for 6 months and that boarding availability was going to be available after December, so I requested to do a pet evaluation now so that when boarding does become available after December my dog can just come but they refused. I prefer a doggie daycare that’s willing to work with the client. This is not my first time trying to get my dog into this daycare but this is certainly my last. Good Luck!
HT Ronkonkoma has taken such amazing care of our fur baby, Clay! He's a pretty anxious pup, but they always greet him so happily and he definitely enjoys his time with his friends! They go out their way to keep your dog safe & happy! They truly are the best and we appreciate all of their love & care!💖 …
I have absolutely no clue how this place has so many positive reviews. DO NOT bring your dog here. Firstly, the dogs are kept in empty pens with no toys, nothing to do, the “movie” TV is never on. Second, it is FILTHY in there. You can smell it as soon as you open the door. I picked up my dog from daycare yesterday and he was so disgusting. They gave him to me wet (I did not ask for a bath) and I was told, “We were trying to clean him off”. Well, they did an extremely poor job of that. His legs and belly were all YELLOW as if he was peed on and he smelled RANCID. I had to bathe him when I got home and then when I called to try to ask what happened to him I was told “He was playing in the water bowl”. I’m sorry but he would not smell like sewage and be yellow from playing in a water bowl. They told me they would do a better job wiping him in the future. Today I went back to drop him off for daycare again, and was trying to explain the situation to an employee, I was interrupted by the woman I spoke on the phone with. She said “Yes it was me you spoke with, he was just playing in the water bowl” again downplaying what happened. When I picked him up today and looked into the viewing window, the large dogs looked SO sad. They had not a toy in sight. They were all in a pen crying and barking with urine and feces on the floor. When I got my dog he was very wet again, but at least not yellow this time, but he smelled very strongly of whatever “dog cologne” they use to mask the rancid urine smell. I once again bathed him as soon as I got home because I was gagging at the smell of him, and will not be taking him back to that dump.
Hounds Town Ronkonkoma is the only place I will trust to watch my two dogs, whether for a day or overnight. They are attentive and caring - most of the staff even know my boys by name. The enrichment these dogs get is like nothing else when they're staying at Hounds Town!
Excellent experience. Staff was very nice, handled my eight month old puppy well. Looking forward to her first day there.
We just brought our baby Otis Montgomery there for a play date. Needless to say we were super nervous leaving him. Hounds Town put us at ease with a few videos on Facebook. He was playing and having a blast with other pups. We are going out of town for a few days. Now we can leave with confidence that out baby is well taken care of
The 60 minute puppy socialization class was exactly what my 4 months old Elon needed. He got about 50 minutes of playtime with other puppies while I got information on the benefits of good nutrition fort my dog, grooming and socializing my dog.
Gina is super kind and loving to the animals she cares for. My dog was happy to see me but was also fine with staying there. I really enjoyed the photo updates with the kind message that my pet is safe and happy. It was my first time going away without her and was nervous while away. Gina put my mind at ease. My pup also got her nails cut and bath while there as well. 💯 5 ⭐. Will use again! Thank you for everything!
I LOVE Gina’s Dog & Cat services!!!! Sweet and kind family and truly show love to the pets they care for. My two year old, crazy energetic, ~100lb handful is so well cared for when in her hands. I get photos everyday of the playtime with friends. Upon pick up he’s always clean and happy, to the point where I’m almost invisible. I travel a lot for work. Gina’s is super reliable and always there, even in a pinch. Been using this service for about a year now and have not looked back. I highly recommend them!
Gina is great! She's always been available whenever I needed her, even at a last minute. She's super responsive, sends pics of your pet to let you know they're ok. Her home is clean, safe and welcoming. I'd leave my human kids there if I could. Ha ha.
Dan and Gina are awesome. Dan comes weekly to walk our 1.5 yr old Great Dane/Pitbull. Goliath is always so happy to see Dan. He walks him, plays soccer with him and genuinely treats him like it's his own dog. Always sends pictures of them playing around. Highly recommend them for your pets needs.
I have been using Gina’s services for a few years now. She is so caring and loving with my dogs. She is also very reliable. I trust her so much and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Gina is wonderful with my pups! She is reliable and punctual and trust goes a long way with me. She does what is needed and I can be at peace knowing she took good care of my two dogs.
Gina is my go to pet sitter. She is very reliable and takes excellent care of my cats. Leaving my cats when I go away is always stressful but knowing Gina is going to take such good care of them makes me feel so much better. Love the pictures she sends and that they come out and see her when she makes her visits. Makes me feel so much better knowing that they are getting love from someone while I’m away.
Gina was great , she did drop ins for my cat Bailey for a week , fed him , cleaned his litter box , gave him some attention that was needed and petting him all up , and even sent me photos of him . I highly recommend Gina’s company and will definitely be using them again. No negative from me she was awesome responds right away to text messages , she is running an all around great business …. So happy knowing my Bailey was in good hands for a week .. Thank you Gina
We are thrilled with our experience with Gina's Dog and Cat Services! We were worried about leaving our little 10 lb pup with someone other than family. We weren't sure if our dog would be a handful for someone she didn't know or if she would get along with other dogs for an extended period of time. We met Gina a few days before leaving for our trip (so she can meet our dog) and right away I knew our dog would be in great hands!! Gina is so sweet and her rates are beyond reasonable ! We were able to enjoy our vacation because Gina sent daily pictures with comical comments attached! We'll be sure to use Gina's Dog and Cat Services whenever we need a dog sitter!!
We just moved to NY and we we're going on a trip to Canada.Someone recommended Gina and we couldn't be happier! Gina lives in a beautiful house.She sent us pictures daily of Cody playing with his new friends.To our surprise when I picked up Cody ,he was bathed and looked better than when I dropped him off.Gina also offers grooming services .Cody has been board over 20 times and has never been happier.I highly recomend Gina.
Lynne took excellent care of my cats. She was very caring and thorough taking notes about their care needs when we met. Lynne also texted me each day so I knew they were doing well. I highly recommend Lynne of Little Monsters.
Lynne at Little Monsters is absolutely fantastic with my puppy boy Rocky. When I first met with her to see if she was the right fit for us and be the right person to come into my home and spend time with him I felt comfortable right away and knew that she was the pet sitter I wanted to use. She is very helpful with advice and suggestions as we are learning how to provide the best care for our new puppy and he is very comfortable around her and is growing and learning a lot in their visits together. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a pet sitter.
We used Lynne of Little Monsters pet sitting to care for our cat while on vacation. Since our cat is old, we wanted her to stay in our home. Lynne came for a daily visits. She spent time petting, playing, feeding, and cleaning up after her. Lynne cared for the house too. She brought in the mail, turned lights, and AC on/off as we preferred. Lynne sent us text message updates with pictures which was very comforting while away. Lynne is a very kind person with a gentle demeanor who took all the time we needed for a consultation beforehand. She came over and got to know our cat; she sat on the floor petting her and asked lots of questions. I felt very comfortable with Lynne coming while we were away. The cost is affordable and so well worth it! I will continue to use her service and recommend her to others too!
Lynne took such great care of our 2 English bulldogs when we went away for a weekend. She was very attentive to them and the dogs love her! Lynne sent pictures of our dogs daily and even brought in our mail! She’s great! Highly recommend!
Lynne takes fantastic care of our cat, Ellie. I can't recommend Little Monsters Pet Sitting and Boarding enough. She really cares and came to get to know Ellie prior to her first time sitting. Lynne asks all the right questions and I know she is taking care of everything when we are not there. She sends text and picture updates and spends time giving our cat the attention we needs while we are away.
Lynne is fantastic. I'd be shocked if you could find a better pet sitter. I always worry about our cat when we go on vacation. Whether she is at a boarding place or being looked in on by friends/family. But Lynne made me so comfortable leaving our cat in her care at our home. Our cat has a new pal for when we are out of town!
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a pet care professional that spends more time, cares more, or lavishes more love and attention on your pets than Lynne from Little Monsters. Its a pleasure to watch her work with every dog and cat that she cares for. She treats every animal like a cherished family member, which explains why so many of her clients treat her the same way in return. I would not hesitate to recommend Lynne and Little Monsters to anyone.
Couldn't do it without little monsters! My guy even knows lynn's name and gets excited when he knows he'll have fun with her and his friends!
My lil Cav gets so excited when she gets to have a play day here!
finding a animal boarding facility u can trust is hard , You make the arrangements try to adhere to their guidelines , pay your fee , and hope u get your animal back healthy . Businesses like this one must think everybody is desperate and think we can be treated with disrespect and a condescending attitude and be back again . I don't think so , there are other options and we must use them and make a statement and drive these type of establishments to cease to have the privilege of having a business .I'm not done with narration of this place and I will continue to embellish more reasons why u should seek out better accommodations for your furry friends that are part of your family.In previous dealings with cozy noses ( yes went there more than once ) because I believe in second chances , My animal came back in need of a vet visit, a few times been talked to with disrespect . I'm hearing impaired and well not always getting what people take for granted what their saying is hitting home so I ask for a redo and get that's ok and don't get a proper explanation. Example left my animal with a toy from home to give a feeling of not everything unfamiliar in her temporary surroundings, because they don't know if your coming back . Than come back to pick her up and they say we don't give toys back , what??? Than get a surly employee chastising me about policy , No I call that incompetence and laziness among other things .They have lost this paying customer and hopefully give other current and potential customers some food for thought when they seek out a place of shelter for their extended family members
Boarded our less than one year old dog here, and he now has kennel cough. He was fully vaccinated and we never experienced this for the decade of using a different kennel with our other dogs. Disappointing and now we need to take him to the vet. Won't be using again.
From the second you walk into this establishment you know the kind of business they are. Cozy Noses takes pride on the services they provide for your fur baby. I was a complete nervous wreck leaving behind my 14 month old German Shepherd for the first time, and they made me feel at ease from day one. They were patient and very accommodating. They also answered every question I had, and kept in-touch letting me know how my baby was while I was away. The staff is extremely respectful and super nice and you can see they clearly love their job!! Also the place is spotless!!!! My baby was well taken care of and we all know what that means to us parents!!! Cozy Noses gets an A ++++ I wrote the same review on Yelp!!!
The folks have their process down which is good. They keep the safety of your loved one as their #1 concern...which it should be. However, my experience with my unique dog is I get the feeling my dog doesnt like it there, YMMV. He comes home looking like he hasn't slept in days, and has lost a few pounds. My dog is not really into other dogs and I'm sure the loud barking for others keeps him up at night. He's not a "cage" dog where he shares a chain link fence next to other potentially loud non stop barking dogs. We've stayed there maybe 4 to 5 stays and every time he gets home he crashes mid day to sleep and takes a few days to get back to his weight and eating. I'll lift up another rock and see what else is out there. YMMV.
Love this place. We used another place a few times and our dogs always came home shell shocked and lethargic. Every time they’ve come back from Cozy Noses they’ve been super happy. The other kennel also gave the wrong dog clearly labeled medicine and when they realized they then refused to give medicine period. Never a problem at Cozy Noses. They are super nice, take care of our dogs, are communicative, and very reasonable. The location is also great if you are flying out of Islip. I highly recommend Cozy Noses.
Cozy Noses was recommended to us by several different people who have boarded their dogs. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and enjoy working with dogs. The facility is clean and large with a lot of availability. Because it is a big kennel, it can be noisy. The system at Cozy Noses is well organized for feeding, medication and special needs of the pets. A special playtime is available for an additional fee.
My neighbor had mentioned bringing her dogs here years ago and recommended it. My dog is VERY shy. She is a rescue and small. She has only boarded with my vet, once, and they stop doing boarding. With trepidation knowing her personality I brought her to cozy noses. I am so happy that I did. She received wonderful care and one of the staff members, Denise?,) fell in love with her and gave her more attention seeing how she was shying away from being with others. I highly recommend bringing your furry loved ones here. Everyone the is wonderful.
My friend boarded her dog here last month and when they picked up the dog she was shaking. They took her to the vet and she died within 2 hours! When they called cozy noses and asked what happened they said well one day she had diarrhea another day she wouldn’t eat and threw up bile… yet they never called the owner!
The staff is always so pleasant and they listen to what you are saying. My dog loves going there. Actually pulls me to get in whereas over other place I brought him to he kept riding around to get out. I highly recommend Cozy Noses.
We have been bringing our dogs to Cozy Noses for over a dozen years, maybe longer. We have always had positive experiences with boarding, playtime, or grooming services. My blue heeler cattledog mix and black lab always looked and acted happy upon pickup (the heeler might be a little hoarse, but she is a big barker at home too). The employees are always pleasant and understanding, and happy to see my pups when I bring them in. They are conscientious about taking care of the pets, and contacted my vet for advice and medication one time when it was needed. Very happy to recommend Cozy Noses for your family.
