I’d almost given up getting a sitter after being let down but Colin applied and after a chat with him I went ahead with a 2 week sit. His communication before and during put my mind at rest and as it was his first sit any queries he had he ran by me which was great. My boys were walked more than I walk them and I came home to a lovely clean house and very healthy and happy animals. It was quite a baptism of fire for his first sit with hyper dogs and a cat but I reckon if he can cope with that he can cope with anything 😂
Euan arrived to me suffering from muscle strain and he was so kind and thoughtful and nothing too much of a problem for him. He was a great communicator and the animals all seem very happy on my return. A pleasure to have as a house-sitter and he would be welcomed back time and again!

Bailey loves his weekly play dates with Lauren! My very energetic fur baby learned to socialize and play with other dogs in a safe environment. So thankful for her.
My dog Blaze goes absolutely insane with excitement when I mention going to Peaceful Pup to see Lauren! He normally has separation anxiety when it comes to leaving me, however, when we arrive at Peaceful Pups, he leaps out of the car and runs right to the door. He has a wonderful time and I totally trust Lauren with my fur baby!
As a first time dog owner my family and I were nervous to trust anyone with our puppy. However, we felt an immediate connection with Lauren. She was knowledgeable, professional, and so kind. My dog loved her from their first interaction. She has helped us with tips, walking, boarding, and she has been so easy to work with. We feel extremely lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her!
We had a large party and we wanted to eliminate the worry that comes with non dog owners and doors being inadvertently left open. So we asked our vet for a sitting service. Peaceful pups was recommended. And after meeting Lauren, we found a perfect and safe place for our dog. It was our first worry free party in ages. And our dog came home happy and tired from all the fun she had. Thank you Lauren!
Leaving our pets in Lauren’s care was the best decision we made. She is extremely responsible and competent. I could not have had more peace of mind if I was with them myself! Thank you, Lauren!
Lauren is absolutely amazing. She is someone I can count on with my fur baby for anything without a stress or worry. I’m so thankful for her and couldn’t recommend her more. When you have Lauren looking after your pet you can assure you have nothing to worry about she’s spoiling them for sure!
Lauren was so wonderful with our cats. Responsive and on time, had no worries at all while away. We will definitely use her services again!
Lauren has taken care of our dogs , both large and small dogs. They love her and it is great because we know our dogs are well taken care of when we are away. I highly recommend her services. 🐾🐾
If you’re looking for someone who cares for dogs as if they are their own, it’s Peaceful Pups! Lauren is responsible, reliable and treats each dog with love‼️ There is no better feeling than knowing your loved one is in the best hands…
I cannot sing the praises of Peaceful Pups Dog Care loudly enough. My dog had a rough passage prior to coming to my home. He endured losing a leg in Hurrican Marie in Puerto Rico. Peaceful Pups has worked with me to overcome his reactive quirks so he can have a much better life. I never worry for a second when he is in Lauren's care. She is a dog whisperer extraordinare. My dog howls when he knows she is coming. Praise from a pup who has had a tough time. THAT says it all!!
Great overall experience on Day 1 for my 85lb. Chocolate Lab pup (8 months). Vanessa was lovely upon our arrival and from the doggy meet and greet, to his day at daycare, and their responsiveness when I called to check in I am very please thus far. My only issue is that they do not have an outside space for the dogs to get out. It is a completely indoor facility - very clean, neat, and organized.. spacious too. Knowing that Hudson was a few weeks out of OCD shoulder surgery, they kept an eye on him ensuring he didn't overly exert himself nor did other dogs also push him too much for play. All in all I was pleased with the interaction and loved the "report card" that was provided at the end of the day to summarize his behavior and day. I plan to have Hudson return for daycare and will be giving their boarding a try too. Thank you Vanessa and team for making me feel comfortable leaving my baby.
The team at Hounds Town is awesome! They were friendly, engaged with our dogs and made us very comfortable as we left our pooches to be boarded for their first time! We were nervous but they made us feel good and at peace as my husband and I went off for a much needed long weekend!
I boarded my elderly dog here for four days. He had never been boarded before, so needless to say I was worried about how he would adjust. I’m happy to say that Hounds Town Bergen exceeded my expectations. The staff was so caring and supportive of both me and my fur elder!! I received a text saying that he was doing well, and the photos on Facebook helped to relieve my anxiety. I highly recommend this establishment!!
Our dog, Zuko, had so much fun in Hounds Town! He got a lot of his energy out and socialized with dogs his size, in a safe environment. The staff are always so friendly and responsive. They posted cute pics of him and he looked so happy! They gave us a report card at the end of daycare, which I thought was a really cute touch. Also, the prices are great, the place is clean and spacious—Highly recommend!
My dog came out of his 1st day evaluation very happy. This only means he enjoyed his stay there. Excellent and professional staff. The office ambiance was also excellent and very welcoming. Am pretty sure we’ll be back for more of the love and new friends he made today
The team here is phenomenal. They treat my baby like their own. They’re all very friendly and professional. The lobby is always clean and smells good. Tobias enjoys every single minute of the 4 days a week he goes here. I can’t thank the staff enough for their kindness and compassion. I love seeing all of the pictures on social media of how happy the dogs are playing here.
Danielle is AMAZING with our 14yr old baby - she’s been grooming him for years, we have followed her from PetSmart to here. Hounds-town is a more smaller, family, caring and friendly. They offer a lot of services for pet care.
I was totally impressed with the detailed communication. I was hesitate to board again since we had a bad experience, BUT Houndstown definitely changed that! Now I have a place where my dog can stay, and be taken care of! And I have peace of mind!! Thank you!!!
We love Hounds Town Bergen and so does our beagle! After being rejected at a previous doggy daycare because our beagle was too shy and didn't interact much with the staff-- we lost all hope in finding a good place for our beagle until we found Hounds Town. They took her in with open arms and really took the time to gain her trust. She comes home pooped out from all the fun! We also love the photo updates! Hounds town has helped her so much to get over the fear of meeting new dogs and new people. I would absolutely recommend this place to all my dog moms/dads!
The place looked very clean and everyone was very friendly! The evaluation process was easy and I felt reassured that he would be in good hands. My dog spent time there while I was away on vacation and he had an absolute blast! They uploaded pictures of him playing with the others dogs on their facebook page (like the one i attached) and definitely made me feel comfortable leaving him there. I plan to continue to bring him there for future daycare and boarding needs!
The staff was incredibly friendly. Watching the cameras, I could see them interacting warmly with the dogs and showing genuine care. I really appreciate that the dogs have access to outdoor play areas, and the spacious sleeping cots ensure they’ll be comfortable. It’s also fantastic that grooming services are available!
If Missy could drive she would steal my keys to come everyday of week! It feels good to know your pouch is in good hands. Kudos to the staff for making them feel like home
There are not enough superlatives to say how much we love Camp Bow Wow, Elmwood Park. We trust them 100% with our boy Primo and have been bringing him there for nearly 12 years now. The facility is one of the cleanest, best run and caring places to bring your dog. They greet you by name when you arrive, are very friendly, and always attentive to all your dogs needs. You have the ability to watch your beloved pooch on one of their many web cams so you will always know what's happening. They do a great job of having the dogs grouped by size, so that none of the little ones get smushed by all the affection from the bigger ones.
Check-in staff for our interview and first (free) half day of day care was very helpful. They were able to walk us through the interview process and provided information on how we could check in with our dog throughout the day with their facility cameras. Upon pickup, they also offered us a tour of the facility and described a typical day of daycare and boarding at Camp Bow Wow. The transparency was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that our dog would have a safe and fun time with the staff at this facility.
I love how they get to know my dogs and watch out for them and bring any issues or observations to our attention. My dog Baxter has been coming to Camp Bow Wow for 3 years now and he loves it there. He is thriving and we always have impeccable service, especially from Roman and Rose.We also recently brought Baxter's sister Willow to join him at Camp Bow Wow as well and she loves it too. She gets so excited when she knows she is going to daycare. We could not be happier with their level of service and will stay loyal customers!
My Schnoodle, Clara, is 5 months old and went to 1/2 a day for daycare for the first time last week. She had a little anxiety when I left, but then relaxed as time went on and she passed her interview. I also added some playtime which she had fun with. I brought her back on 5/04/24 for a full day. She had a friend there this time which I was happy she had some company. She played and the lady, forgot her name, also spent time and played with the puppies and Clara had so much fun. You can see the care they give to our furbabies. I also treated my Clara to a bath, teeth cleaning and ear cleaning and she came back to me smelling so good. She was tired, but, she had alot of fun and was happy to see me. I highly reccomend EP Camp BowWow for your furbaby care. The staff is wonderful, prices very fair, they keep it very, very clean throughout the day and the care they show the furbabies is priceless. Happy FurMom snd FurBaby 👧🏼🐶🐾🐾
My furry baby has been going to Camp Bow Wow for over a year now. I can’t express how much we love this place. Starting with the great staff who always welcomes everyone with smiles and great kindness. Very clean facility, no yucky dog smell. Most importantly I know my furry baby is safe and having an amazing time . As soon as my baby gets into the car after a long day with his furry friends and camp counselor, he falls asleep the whole car ride home. I recommend camp bow wow to all my friends and family. Thank you Camp Bow Wow ❤️🐶😘
Camp Bow Wow Elmwood Park is amazing! The staff is so friendly and they truly love your fur babies as their own. Tachi loves it here and loves everyone who works at camp too. I thank everyone on staff for always being so welcoming and always having a smile on their face!
Great staff! I can tell my pug Lucy was well taken care of while I was away. Thank You!
The staff and facility at camp bow wow are awesome. My dog is very happy when goes for the day and tired when I pick him up… lots of cuddles
Best pet sitter yet!
I can't think of any company/retailer/store I've been happier to find in the past several years that we use on a consistent basis. Doggy Deuce has been our pooper scooping service for many many years, 3 dogs and counting. We now use them for pet sitting while we're away on vacation or just for overnights. While we're away, we get pictures of them, updates on how they're doing and Chris even goes the extra mile and offers to bring in our mail and take care of the pool while we're gone. I challenge anyone to find a small business that offers such service! Also, when I'm looking for any other service recommendation, (window washing, pool closing, carpet cleaning, etc.) Chris from Doggy Deuce always knows the best businesses to call upon. He's part of a big network of local businesses that have proven to be trustworthy and capable; the best can always recommend the best. Doggy Deuce is also an active advocate for pet adoption and strongly care about the welfare of animals. And the office staff is extremely attentive and available, returning emails and calls with very quick turnaround. This company is the real deal. I've recommended them to 3 other families on my block who now also use them! Our pets are our family, our house is our home, and I wouldn't trust either of them to anyone but Doggy Deuce. I'd be happy to offer a personal recommendation to anyone who reaches out.
We have been using them for a couple of years now. Our last trip away I scheduled them to visit my home twice a day for 3 days to take care of my 15-1/2 yr old Yorkie who is partially blind and deaf. On the final day of service I received an invoice I could not open so I emailed them back and requested it sent in a different format. The following day on our way home from our trip I received a call from Becky advising me that unfortunately, she mixed up the dates and no one visited my home to take care of my dog for 3 days. She proceeded to explain she was sick the day she took my appointment and probably shouldn't have been making appointments. What I don't understand is how an invoice is sent for the correct dates, but yet the dates were mixed up. These people are lucky my dog was alive. Barely alive, but she was! The dog was without water for 3 days. One more day and I doubt she would've survived. This is a huge mistake! This is a life we are talking about here. These mistakes cannot happen. I was very upset and angry and refused to further speak to them. There is nothing they can do to make this OK other than REFUND me my money they took without providing services! I would never recommend them to anyone!
I have been using doggie deuce now for over four years and they are amazing! I use them for both dog boarding and pooper scooper and they are super dependable, accommodating and (in my opinion) reasonably priced. Chris (the owner) and Jen (the manager) are super nice and you get a sense that they truly love what they do and the dogs. My dogs actually look happy when they leave to stay there while we are on vacation. While the dogs are there- they send pictures and updates which is awesome. I cannot say enough how much I love them and how much easier it is having them in our life. If you love your dogs as much as we do- you definitely want to give them a try the next time you are going away.
In addition to loving and caring for my own personal dogs, I spend much of my time rescuing animals in need. As a result, my yard tends to suffer. I enlisted the help of Doggy Deuce a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. The service is extremely reliable and the staff is friendly and pleasant.
I have been using Doggie Deuce for my dog Chase. They are incredible in so many ways. They care for my pet as much as I do. They are reliable, trustworthy, honest, caring and I would use no one else for my boy. I use them as a walker and also for a stay when I am away. Chris is an incredible owner and always makes me feel that my dog is in GREAT hands. Thats enough for me to rate this wonderful company ...EXCELLENT!!!!! Also, the girls in charge of the scheduling are efficient!! All GOOD..Thanks again, Doggie Deuce..
Unfortunately this company has yet again failed to properly trained or communicate with their new staff. Once again one of the their employees have left my gate open for my two pit bulls which are not dog friendly. They were instructed since the beginning to call my phone before they came so we can ensure the dogs were inside, but they failed to do that too. If he was confused as I was told. He should have called the office, myself or rescheduled. I find it very disturbing and hard to understand the lack of common sense of this person. He not only put my dogs in danger but other dogs too.
Doggy Deuce watches my pup when I go out of town and she has so much fun. They take such great care of her and make sure she is treated like a princess.
Chris and his team are the BEST. He has an innate gift with animals and is truly a dog whisperer.
A fabulous service! I've used them for years now & I'm very happy! I recommend them as highly as possible!!!!
Stone was fire! 🔥🔥🔥 …
We went away for 5 days and were nervous to leave our baby with a pet sitter for the first time ever. We can say now as long as it’s Jaime we will never be nervous again! As you can see our cat loved her lol. We received daily photos, all directions were followed as given in regards to feedings/supplements and litter scooping and she even vacuumed around the box which I didn’t ask of her! Came home to a happy, healthy and loved kitty 😊
Jamie is wonderful! She took such great care of our little guy while we were away for a few days! I was green in the area of pet sitting because I usually take the pets everywhere with me lol. But Jamie exceeded my expectations by far! We also communicated daily while I was away, and she even sent me daily pics of my little guy. It was because of Jamie that I could relax while away! My entire family thanks her for that.
Jaime is amazing. Truly the best pet sitter I have ever had. I struggled to find someone who’d care for my ferret, but she went above and beyond. She’ll love your pets as if they were her own, and you’ll always have peace of mind when you’re away. Trust that your fur babies will be in excellent care here!!!
Jaime was great with my dog! It was my first time hiring a dog walker but she exceeded the expectation! I received a photo after the walks and he looked so happy. I even noticed his appetite increased which is a great sign that jaime provided much needed exercise.
Jamie is such a delight to work with. She quickly bonded with our dog. She provides great care and love to our fur baby. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a passionate dog walker . She continues to be reliable and trustworthy.
We hired Jaime to care for our pets in our home while we were away for almost two weeks. We have quite a menagerie - 4 cats and 3 dogs, several of whom have special needs. Jaime was amazing with meeting all of their needs. She kept in touch via text several times during the first few days which gave us great peace of mind. We returned home to happy, healthy pets. If Jaime can handle our handful, she can handle anything! Highly recommend.
We’ve used Jamie now twice with our big boy Archie! Jamie is absolutely amazing and has treated our needy boy pristinely! Our first experience with Jamie found us in a pinch and needing a dog sitter for an unplanned trip. Jamie helped us calm down and made time to make sure we and Archie were comfortable with her. Needless to say we were sold and haven’t looked back since! Jamie thinks about the things most walkers/sitters don’t… she checks the temperature, she pulls in packages if they’re out front, and sends you photos of your furry one without being asked. If you need any of the services Jamie offers, do yourself a favor and book her. You won’t regret it and most importantly, your furry friend(s) will have the best time! We highly recommend Jamie!
Jaime takes really good care of our dog Jager. He seems to be happier than when we leave him behind. She’s super nice - super reliable - I recommend Jaime to take care of your pets while you’re away or even while you’re around.
Jamie stayed at our house with our dog Ollie for an extended stay to care for our dog while we were away and she was absolutely fantastic. Ollie is a senior dog, and he needs twice daily shots of insulin for diabetes, and Jamie managed his care beautifully. Jamie was extremely caring , making sure to keep Ollie well socialized during our absence. She was available in real time to update us, and extremely diligent about ensuring that Ollie was always a happy dog. She was also extremely respectful of our home, which she also took great care of while we were away. We really felt like Jamie treated our dog, and us , like we were her family, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.
I was looking for someone who would stay overnights with Cleo when I have to travel for work. I'm new in town so I had a lot of anxiety about finding someone trustworthy and skilled, but Jaime put all my worries to rest. She is very easy to work with, pays careful attention to all instructions and sends multiple updates during the day. Cleo took to Jaime right away and did very well while I was away. She didn't show any sign of stress, which was my top priority. Everything worked out perfectly. I'm lucky to have found Jaime.
I recently boarded my dogs with Donna, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! It was their first time boarding, and I was a bit nervous, especially since one of my dogs has epilepsy. However, Donna and her amazing team took incredible care of both of them. They made sure my epileptic dog was well looked after, and I felt confident knowing they were in such capable hands. When I picked them up, not only were they happy and healthy, but they also looked better than ever! I highly recommend Donna’s boarding services to any pet owner looking for a safe and loving place for their fur babies.
Le Pooch Chateau is wonderful! Donna and her team did a great job taking care of our 5 month old puppy Maddy last month! They showed us around and sent us pictures. It was our first time being away from Maddy and we felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Le Pooch chateau!
LePooch Chateau is amazing. Donna and her team take such good care of my Lola when we are out of town. Lola is always so excited to go there. I never worry about my baby when she is there! Highly recommended. 👍🏻 …
Percy (our dog) loves it here! We genuinely always appreciate the care and love Percy receives here at LePooch — and the friends that he’s been making here (despite his unusual and extremely energetic play style). We’ve had trouble finding a reliable place to board Percy when we have to travel, but LePooch has become our go-to!
I can't say enough great things about Le Pooch Chateau! Donna and her team took such good of my pups! It's the first time in 5 years that i was able to tear my husband away from our dogs!!! He's always worried that no one would care for them the way we do. NEWS FLASH!!! Le Pooch Chateau did just that!!! We have two smallish dogs (9lb and 23lb) and the accommodations couldn't have been better! Clean, spacious, and Donna did everything to accommodate my rheumatoid arthritis girl. I highly recommend Le Pooch Chateau to everyone who's looking for a highly reliable dog boarding facility. I will definitely be boarding my dogs with Donna and her team from now on.
I am so happy to have found a place where our boys feel comfortable and well cared for. Donna and her staff are so caring and you can tell they love what they do. We have two large older dogs (golden retriever and husky) that we boarded for the week. The staff kept us updated every step of the way and sent photos so we could see how our boys were doing. Don’t hesitate to send your fur babies here. Your pooches will feel at home and you will have peace of mind. Thank you Donna!
Le Pooch Chateau is the one and only place i take my babies to. The entire staff is amazing. They treat every dog with love and kindness. They pet them and play with them. The rooms are cute and clean. My dogs love everyone there (and trust me when i say that my male dog barely likes people hahah) The owner, Donna, is the sweetest lady ever! She is very kind, respectful and wants to do the best for my babies to have a great time. She was able to get my dogs to socialize with other dogs and she did that by being very patient, professional and kind. Debbie, Danielle and Chris are also very loving with my dogs. Everyone is! And you can really tell they do it with passion, not as a job, but as something they love doing. I will never take my dogs anywhere else. Thank you for everything you do Le Pooch Chateau. You treat us like family!
Donna and her staff are fantastic and true animal lovers. We boarded our 2 dogs there for a night and they went above and beyond for our boys - from special accommodations for the grumpy guy to playing fetch with the younger one. The place was immaculately clean and they have a variety of spaces for the pups. Extra bonus, we had them groomed as well. Our dogs came home handsome and happy! Donna was super great at communicating and flexible to meet the dogs needs. You can tell she just wants the best for the dogs. It felt like leaving them with our favorite trusted aunt who happens to be in the dog boarding business - we had complete peace of mind while out of town.
I brought my Woodle, Willow here for a week and it was wonderful. This was our first year trying to plan vacation while owning a dog. We trusted LePooch Chateau to take care of Willow while we were away and I'm so glad we choose them. They sent pictures to keep me updated and let me know how she was doing during the week. Willow was comfortable in the home like environment and the staff were incredibly friendly. We would definitely use them again.
Dropped our dog off for the day and we are so pleased with what this place has to offer! The ladies were extremely friendly and caring, and they took such great care of him! We cannot wait to bring him back for daycare and for weekly boarding when we go on vacation!
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 cannot recommend a better local dog walker! Mike makes it easy to schedule walks in advance and on an as-needed basis. All of the walkers are lovely and my dog is so excited when they arrive!
Rob always does a fantastic job with my dog. His rates are totally reasonable and I won't be going anywhere else. He never overbooks so drop off and pickup is a breeze. Can't say enough nice things. Thanks Rob!
Rob did a great job grooming our dog! Very nice, very streamlined. I'll definitely go back, and am probably going to use some other services like boarding. Thanks Rob!!!
Rob does a great job. Your pup will be highly taken care of.
Highly recommend. Great work. Very friendly. My dogs love coming here.
Absolutely the best!!!
