    ALC's dog walking service
    Stanley T.

    One the things I miss most about Carroll Gardens is ALC - they took such wonderful care of my dog!

    Dogs

    Me and my pup have been customers for almost 8 years now (boarding, daycare and grooming) and ALC has continued to provide such great care for Theo that I continue to take him there even after moving to the upper east side 4 years ago. Not only are the staff professional, caring, and trustworthy, but they're excellent communicators and respond promptly to any contact. I love that they have an active Instagram account where I can check in and see what Theo is doing. I'm kind of a crazy dog mom and am VERY nervous about leaving my dog in the care of anyone who isn't me... except ALC! Nothing gives me peace of mind like knowing that my dog will be safe, well taken care of, and given a ton of love when I'm not there. Thanks to all the employees who make this a great business!

    ALC The one place I feel where it's as if you were having your own mother take care of your kids. I can go away and know they will have fun and be very well cared for. My pups Albus & Luna love going so much they drag me to the entrance eager to join their Pack! Communication between myself and management/caretakers is clear and the app they use to schedule services streamlines the process. I'm so happy I found them!

    I love Animal Loving Care and how they take care of my fur baby. Always great communication with their groomers. My fur baby always be leaving there fluffy and cute. They even try to teach you how you should groom your dog and cater to their coat. They also have a day care, which of course the dogs have to be neutered but if your dog is 7months and younger they do have a puppy playground on Saturdays which I was enjoying bringing my fur baby to. So glad I found them.

    Ori's new cut!

    We really like this cut! There's a little pen at the front of the shop for doggos that are waiting for their parents to come pick them up. Sorry that Ori peed on you Alex! I hope you'll take him again!

    Harley post grooming

    Harley, my pup, is groomed at ALC. He is walked by ALC's wonderful dog walkers and he has now boarded with them twice. Everyone who works at ALC really cares about dogs and I have never had a moment of worry when he is with them! Re boarding: I was so nervous about leaving Harley in boarding. He's pretty attached to me and also can get very overwhelmed when he's around a lot of other dogs. While he did have a bit of a tough time the first visit--everyone at ALC was so great. He had a doggy panic attack of sorts and I got a call right away. And when I followed up every day after, they got right back to my over-anxious dog mom self. We are moving to LA and will really miss ALC. Cannot recommend them enough!

    Yesterday, I took for the first time my Shih tzu for a grooming appointment in NYC and, based on the awesome reviews, I chose Animal Loving Care. WHAT A GREAT DECISION I MADE! The groomer was Indi and I cannot be happier with her job!! I showed her a picture of how I wanted her to style my dog and she did HER BEST to resemble the style I wanted. She was sooo careful with his paws and private area (as I told her that my dog tends to be sensitive on those areas). He looks beautiful and is so soft! Now, we have a grooming place in Brooklyn that we know will take good care of our dogs!! Looking forward on coming back!

    We've been coming to ALC for so many years now to groom our lovely Shih Tzu and I honestly have always been so happy with their service! Melody always takes the best care of our dog. She is so gentle with her and leaves her looking so beautiful. I love that the staff always greets me whenever I come in and I know I'm leaving my dog in great hands. I always book in advance to make sure I have a spot with Melody!

    He still looks like a puppy with this cut!

    My dog got groomed at ALC and gabby did a great job!!! It took a while to find a good groomer in Brooklyn!

    Bryan M.

    Takes me over a half hour to get here, totally worth it. Very friendly, flexible, well priced, couldn't be happier.

    I randomly stumbled upon Gabby's IG and saw how much she seemed to really enjoy grooming each and every furry family member that came in the door. So I HAD to bring my ROXY girl to see her. The staff was quick and efficient, Gabby did an amazing job (even did Roxy's nails, which has always been a challenge) and now Roxy is ready for summer! If only the weather would catch up. THANK YOU GABBY, THANK YOU ALC. We'll be seeing you soon! Cheers!

    I mean, look at all these 5 star reviews. They don't need mine, but I'm leaving it anyway. First, we have had our now-nine-year-old long haired chihuahua groomed a lot of places. In Brooklyn, we did mainly the now-defunct Dog Wash n Go, where the groomer was never on time, where they whisked your dog down into a dark basement, where the prices seemed to be an act of whimsy on the part of the owner, depending on mood. Then we found ALC and specifically, we found Gabby. I don't know how much you know about chihuhuas, but they're not exactly known for their sweet temperament. I am always a little nervous when I leave our dog with someone, but not at ALC. First of all, scheduling couldn't be easier. Email, call. They will get back to you in an instant. Pricing is clear and honestly, the most reasonably priced groom you could possibly find in NYC. It's generally around 2 hrs to groom, all grooming is happening in front of your eyes, there is a lovely doggy waiting area for the freshly coiffed, and they always honor my request to not put my little biter amongst the other dogs. I also truly really really love our groomer, Gabby. Early on I asked her for no bows in Indie's hair. The next time I picked Indie up, she was wearing a bow tie instead. We are a two mom family and the idea that "no bows" might be our dog's gender identity still tickles me and impresses me. We moved from Brooklyn to northern NJ (please don't @me, I already am ashamed), and I had a hard time finding a groomer here that I could trust. Then on Thanksgiving night, our tiny Napoleon decided she would seize on two coyotes that ventured into her sight line at the airbnb we had rented. Needless to say, she ended up with some pretty serious injuries, stitches, drains, the nines. I couldn't bear to have her groomed. Her hair grew and grew and grew. I would like to tell you she looked like Rapunzel, but she looked like a homeless Dr. Seuss character. I had to do something. I called ALC and got put on Gabby's waiting list. Today I drove 2hr and 20m round trip and risked my life trying to park on Court Street because when I walked in with my shaggy little demon, Gabby dropped what she was doing and came to Indie with arms outstretched to love on her and express sympathies to me. She was sensitive to the spots on Indie's back where she was bitten, and did the fastidious, precise, gentle grooming job she always does. Knowing Indie was with Gabby put my mind at ease. So much so, that I am going to stop looking for a groomer here. Indie just clicks with Gabby, and ALC is a top notch, class act. I am unclear why Indie has never been featured on their instagram, but I will not take off a star (but I do have one raised eyebrow). NYC is a wonderful place, but also sometimes a hard place to find a doctor/ dentist/ roofer/ plumber etc to trust. Being able to put so much trust in all the folks at ALC is honestly worth any commute to me.

    I usually don't give reviews but this is definitely the exception. Kasi boarded from May 7-24, the longest I ever left him with anyone let alone a relatively new place for him. Prior to his boarding, he stayed in daycare several times to get acclimated and he also was groomed there. I got to see him everyday through IG and when I emailed asking about him, your staff was prompt and detailed. It made me feel so assured that Kasi was well taken of. He got groomed prior to being picked up today and he's happy and tired. You guys also celebrated his birthday with a Barkday! I truly appreciate the love and care you have for our pets that are our children. Your staff is number one in caring. I give you guys ten Stars for the care. Thank you again! Nellie and Kasi

The team is incredibly warm, thorough, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every dog who walks through their door. What I love most is that their philosophy of dog care mirrors high-quality child care -- attentive, structured, and deeply compassionate. It aligns perfectly with the kind of love and care that I give Tucci at home, which makes it easy to trust them and feel safe sending him there. One of my favorite parts of the day is receiving the photos and videos they send. It's clear from every update that Tucci is happy, engaged, and in great hands. He loves it there! I am so grateful to have Prospect Bark in the neighborhood. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, joyful, and nurturing place for their pup.

    Hello! I wanted to kindly remind this business that it is illegal to perform "working interviews"…read morewithout compensation. Working interviews are legally considered trial employment, which requires at least minimum wage. When asked by a prospective employee if this will be a paid trial, the owner responded to them saying that if that matters to them, the job probably won't work out. Aside from legally, that's pretty morally gross. Especially in the current job market. Nobody should be expected to work for free, even if that job involves hanging out with dogs! Dogs are great. We love our dog. We love him so much, we even feed him! Which is hard to do when being denied pay for labor. Just something for this business to consider changing moving forward, and maybe something prospective employees and clientele should be aware of.

I had an unruly beast of a puppy when she first came along this summer. She knew right away how to keep him in behavior mode, while still being very sweet to him. She's not one of those lazy dogwalkers either, doing the minimum as many do. It is great for me as I often come home from work to a pleasantly exhausted dog. Now we've hit fall and I feel like I have a much more manageable creature to return home to after a long day of work. In addition to being one of the more trustworthy and honest people I have ever hired in such a capacity, she's also very available and when she can't assist me, she knows who else to refer me to. Oh, and she has a way with people too - after dogsitting once, she left me a vase of flowers and a nice note on a card, reporting all the things my dog got to do while I was away. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a responsible & considerate person to trust their animal friend with.

She had no problem handling the rules of the house in that regard. Also, our dog is a rescue - he was neglected and abused before we came across him, so he doesn't trust people readily. She was not intimidated at all and, although he was a bit wary at first, she soon buttered him up. In addition to being clear about who was the alpha, she gave him great rub-downs - after years of neglect, he really needs a lot of affection in order to trust people. She clearly had a natural grasp of canine hierarchy and dog mentality and once she got him to trust her, she even started to offer him some obedience training. He always ended up very orderly after an afternoon with her. My fiance and I were very pleased! We, and our four cats and dog, highly recommend this great dogwalker and petsitter!
