I had never boarded a pet before so was quite concerned about all the stories I'd heard. At My Best Buddies she was so well cared for. When I returned she had to think twice about leaving!

I really can't recommend this facility enough and my dog will not be staying anywhere else for my future travels.

I can't recommend Devin and Claudette highly enough. My flight home was canceled due to severe…read morestorms after my 7-month-old puppy had already been dropped off at my apartment from boarding at his daycare while I was away. He was going to be left home alone overnight unless I found someone to take him in. I posted in a local Facebook group in a panic, and Devin reached out almost immediately and welcomed my dog into their home. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to put me at ease, proactively sharing their business information, reviews, ID, and certifications. They sent updates and photos throughout the night, and it was obvious my dog was being treated like one of their own. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I feel incredibly lucky that Devin saw my post that night, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust them with my dog again. Highly recommend!

Before working with Stephanie, Illay was pretty fearful of both humans and other dogs. I'm so happy we found Bushwick Pet Care to help us work on these difficult traits! Stephanie took careful steps to build a relationship and had so much patience to make sure Illay was comfortable around the team first before sharing walks with other dogs. Now, Illay has real friends in the neighborhood! Shes recognized the dogs she shared a walk with if we ran into them, and was able to react friendly. Illay is so excited for her mid-day walks with Stephanie. She has so much more confidence in her strut. She can walk with and enjoy the company of other dogs. Each walk, Stephanie gives us a full write-up (including photos) of how the walk went and how many times Illay relieved herself. We've taken her to Krista, the team's groomer, a few times and she has come back so soft and squeaky clean. Like a little cotton ball! Their team does a wonderful job at de-shedding and trimming nails. They even deliver her back with a little bow :) We've been working with Stephanie and her crew for almost 6 months now, and Illay's attitude towards people and other dogs has improved immensely! I can't thank them enough for their attentiveness and trustworthy care when handling Illay's rescue quirks. They would go an extra mile for my dog, and they would for yours too! :)

Steph and team are great!…read more Ruthie has worked mostly with Adam (highly recommend) since she was adopted at 5 months. Being an adopted puppy (with high prey drive), we have really struggled with finding the best tool that works for her. Adam has been through multiple walking tools with us and is always very willing to give us honest feedback. Ruthie is a difficult puppy to walk and I am always less stressed knowing she is getting breaks throughout the day with Adam. He also takes really fun pics and sends updates! My husband and I always call him Ruthie's third parent. We've been extremely lucky with being able to trust and rely on Adam. Ruthie adores him and he is extremely patient with her. He is also a cool person who we consider a friend and neighbor. I love supporting small local businesses and I am so happy to support this one. Ruthie gives 4 paws and her humans give four thumbs up!

With that being said, I'm VERY happy with paws & Recs and the care that they provide for my baby while I'm away. He's been a total of 3 times and I am happy when he's there. Here are the pros: - SUPER spacious!!! I loveeeee the amount of room that there is for the dogs to run and play all day long including the back yard area. - They do really nice things for the dogs such as pool days when the weather is super hot. - My baby always comes back in a great mood and exhausted! He gets so much exercise and mental stimulation during the day. - You can get updates on how your dig is doing during the day by reaching out to Jenny or checking their Instagram stories. This makes me so happy as they regularly update their daily activities. - Lots of treats and water for the dogs during the day. - Staff informs you of their day at pick up :) You can tell they really care about your dog. - They have extended care hours if requested for reasonable pricing. - Super organized with cubbies for your dogs belongings so no mix ups there I highly recommend and we'll be back!

Paws & Rec has been so wonderful to work with! They were recommended by my veterinarian who also…read moreuses their service for her dogs. What I love about Paws & Rec is that they pickup the dogs for a full two hours. Your dog gets experience walking with their "pack" and makes other doggy friends they'll see consistently. They get a ton of off leash time in one of the various dog runs in the area. On each walk, they'll sometimes visit up to 3 different parks. Jenny was very easy to work with and setup a meet and greet with Jeffrey (my 4month old Goldendoodle) and her son Christian. My walker, Stan, is SO professional and awesome. He updates his Instagram with photos and an insta story during every walk so you can see footage of your baby running around and playing. It's awesome! During Jeffrey's first walk, we had a mini crisis with a faulty apartment key (my fault). Jenny and Stan were super professional, and brought Jeffrey to a nearby Paws & Rec sitter's house until I could run from work to pick him up. I was so thankful Jeffrey was in safe hands! They didn't even charge me for all their extra effort. I really couldn't recommend Paws & Rec more. Super professional, reliable, and trustworthy. *They also offer full day field trips to doggy friendly destinations!

I recently took a virtual Manners 1 class with Kizz and Jess, and cannot recommend it highly…read moreenough. The class was small, so each pup got plenty of personal attention, and the class aspect meant that we could all learn from each other as well. Each class is recorded so you can reference them later, and their post-class emails also give you homework for the week and great resources to use if you want to learn more about topics discussed. I really like that the instructors have done tons of research on dog behavior and training and cite their sources--it's both fascinating (from an intellectual standpoint) and comforting (from a nervous dog mom standpoint) to hear the research and science behind their methods. They teach a positive reinforcement only method, which I really appreciate after previous experiences with other trainers who advocate things like prong collars. The emphasis is on building a relationship with your dog through understanding the way their brains work and how best to communicate with them. I look forward to taking our next class with PumpkinPups--they are an incredible source of info for all things dog and we are lucky to have them in Brooklyn!
