Liz, her husband and Buster were gracious hosts. Buster was beautifully behaved. We spent a great weekend in their house! Thanks again guys🥰
Jane and Gavin invited us to their home a few days before they left on their holiday. We enjoyed the extra time getting to know the house, the area and the dogs. They were amazing hosts, entertaining us, introducing us to their local friends. The house was very well equipped, the use of a car to take the dogs for their walks was a welcome benefit. Benny did struggle with mobility, so only managed one walk in morning, but happy to remain behind whilst we gave Maisie and Luc another walk late afternoon. The area is beautiful, we had chance to explore interesting villages and local st Cyprien has cafes, restaurants and a great market! lots of interest to explore. Generous hosts who made us welcome- we loved our stay- thank you Jane for his opportunity.
Nigel & Teeny were lovely company for the week. They are both really loving and loved plenty of cuddles on the sofa and would often curl up together. Nigel loved his beach walks and would always get super excited to be home and see teeny, it was adorable. Carolyne’s home was beautiful in lovely quiet surroundings with all the little shops, cafes and necessities you would need nearby and it was a lovely introduction to Weston-super-mare. Thank you for your hospitality and trusting me with your beloved fluffy friends!
Great housesitting experience! Brigette was super kind, left great instructions, and is easy to communicate with. Charlie is a hoot, super playful and full of that lab puppy energy ... a perfect playdate for my other pup clients! The apartment is very comfortable, clean, and in a great location, excellent metro accessibility for those traveling without a car. Visitor parking was super easy and the neighbors in the building were all very friendly as well. I am sure I will see sweet Charlie again for more playdates! Anyone traveling with children, rest assured Charlie is very curious and eager to give your babies lots of affection.
We just finished a superb housesit in Belgium. Zoe and David were an incredibly lovely couple. From the beginning they communicated well and gave us very thorough details. David picked us up from the airport and dropped us off again when we left. We stayed the night with Zoe and David before they left which was great because they explained the run of the house to us and the needs of their adorable dogs Waffle, Womble and Andy. The dogs were super chilled, easy to walk and really loving..(especially towards our two toddlers) Zoe and David have an amazing home with a wonderful backyard. The area is really beautiful with a forest 5 minutes down the road to walk the dogs. Zoe and David kindly offered us their bikes to do which we used on an afternoon trip to Ikea. We took public transport in to Brussels on a lovely sunny Sunday and had a great morning in the city. We HIGHLY recommend Zoe, David and their adorable dogs to future house-sitters. We hope to see them again! :)
Communication was fast. I never had to wait long for answers/replies. Leo is a lovely dog at heart. I quickly realized that he feels comfortable around me and likes to participate in everything. Leo definitely has enough energy to spend long periods of time outside enjoying the sun at the dog park (just around the corner, fenced in so Leo can run off-leash) or visiting the surrounding park (which is quite charming). I usually took Leo outside 2-3 times for a total of 2-3 hours. After the walks, the little fur nose was usually quite content + tired and dozed off. Leo is a bundle of energy and definitely needs a gentle leader. The area around the apartment is great! As a solo female traveler, I felt comfortable and safe walking alone:)! Trastevere and even Piazza Navona are within walking distance :) The area around the apartment is also great and has some nice views :)! Also, the apartment has a balcony where you can enjoy the sun in the morning while Leo keeps an eye on the neighborhood (he loves spending time on the balcony). I would come back again :)!

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!
They are very nice and my dog loves going there. He always comes home happy.
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.
Our 7 month old puppy LOVES going to daycare and comes home absolutely exhausted which is a bonus for us! We love how he is socializing with dogs his age and size, as well as with all of the humans there (he can be a little nervous around people, so this has helped him so much). I leave for work early in the morning, so D’Doggy Daycare’s schedule works perfect for us. Everyone who works there is amazing, and Jess, the owner, is always available to answer any questions- she even sends pictures throughout the day. D’Doggy Daycare is very and also very affordable. We feel so at ease knowing that we also have a place to board him when we go away!
D’Doggy Daycare has got to be one of the best alternatives I’ve come across when it came time to find a place for my dog Larry to stay while I went on a business trip. The Staff kept me updated with texts, pics showing my boy enjoying himself playing with other dogs. I was always so nervous to leave Larry for a trip but these guys made it possible. If you’re ever in need of a day care or room & board for your pup, I 1000% recommend D’Doggy Daycare.
We recently moved back to the area and were looking for a place to board our dog, Finn, while we were on vacation and luckily found D’Doggy Daycare! We were nervous leaving Finn but were so happy with the professionalism, cleanliness and overall care here! They were so accommodating of our schedule, kept us updated with texts while we were away, sent pics of Finn with his new friends and the facility is very clean! Finn had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend D’Doggy Daycare for anyone looking for a place to board your pup!!
My sweet Monti boarded here for a few days and had a blast! I got daily pictures and anytime I was curious on an update, they were able to send me a quick text! He was such a dusty boi running around outside but they were able to give him a bath before I picked him up and he looked amazing! I wish there was a way I could watch him 24/7 here but thats just me missing him. They made sure he got all his meals and treats throughout the day. He was so tired once he got in the car!! Would definitely recommend them to others!
We’ve never left our pup with anyone but family and I was very nervous about attempting this because my dog has never been around other dogs before in this type of setting. The girls made me feel so at ease. The whole process was so comfortable and reassuring. I felt so good leaving him and loved getting pics of him playing with other dogs and having fun! When I picked him up he was so happy! And tired from all his play. I highly highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place to care for their pup.
D’Doggy daycare is a great place to take your dog for daycare! My boyfriend and I have been babysitting my family dog while my parents are on vacation and we both work during the day, so I was looking for a place to take Jax to daycare. Luckily I found D’Doggy daycare. Their prices are really great, the employees are so friendly and supportive, and you get sent updates and photos throughout the day. Having Jax there makes me feel better during the work day that he’s socializing with other pups and getting attention. I feel very comfortable with them and would easily use them again in the future! Jax comes home and is tired after his day of play and has a lot of fun with them! They take really good care of my baby Jax and I’m so grateful for them and their amazing services!
For the first time ever my fiancé and I had no one to pup sit out precious Akita while we were out of time. Thankfully we heard through the gravefines about this place and we were really happy we did. The workers were amazing and the place was clean and tidy and more importantly safe.
We only had there one day for 7 hours. They sent us pictures and video of our dog playing well with others. He came home exhausted and went to sleep. We were very pleased and will use them again.
Jesse and the rest of the D'Doggy Daycare took wonderful care of our 160lbs Cane Corso for 4 days while we vacationed. As you might imagine I had many concerns regarding their ability to control and maintain my Cane Corso happy. They loved on him and gave him the best possible experience while we were away (this was the first time we had done this!). I would trust them with him again and encourage those with larger dogs to consult with them and consider them for an ideal day care for your large pet - whether it be for day care or boarding support. Would highly recommend!
This is a great place for your dog! Nelci is very professional, friendly and you can see She really loves dogs. The place is super secure, My little Guy ( Monty a Mini Goldendoodle) always comes back happy and relaxed. This is definitely a doggie paradise!
We LOVE All Aboard. The staff is super friendly, and Benson runs inside every time we drop him off. They offer baths as well and always do a great job with him. We know Benny is in good hands when he spends the night or goes in just for day care. You can tell the staff really enjoys working there and they have obvious passion for dogs. It’s a really well run organization and we are so lucky to have found such a wonderful place to take Benny.
We loved All Aboard when we lived on Long Island. They took such good care of Ziggy. We (and he) were treated like family. We used them for daycare, boarding, and grooming. When we moved to Wisconsin, they gave us an assessment that helped our new daycare appropriately place Ziggy. All Aboard is also a bargain! I did *not* expect to be paying more for less in the midwest, but that's exactly what we do. I wish we could get as good a place out here. Highly recommend. [Photo from May 4, 2022, before their renovation, showing one of their cute photo ops.]
My dog loves going to this daycare so much and he always comes home so tired. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they really care about the dogs that are there. My dog is very high energy and will be very destructive when he is bored. After even a half a day of daycare I know I can leave him alone without fear that he’ll cause trouble because he’s just too tired 😅. A tired dog is a happy dog
The All Aboard is my go-to daycare facility for Savannah (my 5 year old pup). The staff is WONDERFUL and they take such great care of all the animals. You can tell how much they care through all the fun things they do. Whenever we drop Savannah off she's so happy to see everyone and can't wait to get into the back and play. I would recommend them for boarding as well. They are attentive and accommodating with feeding preferences. They also let you bring your pets' own bed so they feel as comfortable as they can while you're away.
Great place. My 1yo pit mix was boarded here for a 10 day family trip. I liked how they made me drop him off prior for the day care (at no cost) to make sure his personality is appropriate for the other dogs. When i picked him up he was happy and was fully groomed! Staff really seem to care about the animals. I would not hesitate to go back.
Buster gets so excited when I pull up to All Aboard. He can’t wait to get in and play with his friends. The staff is wonderful. I boarded Buster for a week while my family n I went away n we knew he was in great hands.
Have taken my little guy to All Aboard numerous times. He at one time boarded for 3 weeks. I’ve never had him come back home sick or with kennel cough. One time his allergies were acting up. They called me and took care of it with his vet. Very pleased with the staff there.
Our dog has been going to daycare for a few half days a month for years. She has also boarded there for several family trips. We are very happy with the facility and the staff. When she is heading inside, she never looks back. She is usually exhausted after a day at All Aboard. The photos they post always show her having a great time.
We have been using All Aboard Dog Daycare since they first opened their doors. We believe All Aboard is an essential part of having a happy, healthy and well behaved dog. At All Aboard, you’re joining a community of like minded dog owners. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The hours are worker friendly. Our dog is happy and excited whenever we pull into the parking lot. We can’t thank All Aboard enough for the service they offer the community.
Great place to board your pet; the staff is caring for all your pet needs; my Casey always enjoyed her time there when I'm away; they offer day boarding and long term boarding.
