    I first started bringing my four legged best friend Graham to Dozo when he was about four month old. I am a new dog mom so I was VERY nervous at first to leave him at any doggy daycare. But one day I had an appointment that I had to go to and couldn't leave Graham for that long. I brought him into to Dozo and they eased my anxieties immediately. The staff and owners are AMAZING. They are incredibly caring and treat Graham like he's their own pet. They send videos and pictures even when he is just there for a couple of hours! Also most importantly Graham LOVES going. The second he realizes we are heading in that direction he starts to run. He is always so happy to be there and I can't tell you how appreciative I am. I've recommended other friends to go and everyone has the same experience. Dozo dog takes every dog and their special quirks into consideration. They offer grooming services, private feedings and relief walks too! Not to mention they celebrate every holiday with the dogs and have incredible parties for the dogs in their community.

    We have always used dozo for play days and some grooming when we are in town. We recently went on vacation and chose to drive to queens to drop these little ones off. They spent a week there including NYE and New Year's Day holidays. I couldn't ask for a better Group of people to take care of my pups. I don't really trust any other spot like I do dozo. They would update us hourly with pictures and videos of them. They would let us know when they ate and went for walks as well. They get to play with other dogs all day long before they have bedtime with each other in a very good open environment with caged partitions. They also have live cameras which makes it great to check in whenever you are slightly worried or missing your pups. They also have the best ventilation I've ever seen in a doggy daycare. They constantly clean up after the dogs so there is no lingering messes either. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of care they get as well. Honestly I couldn't be happier!! Can't wait to get the pups back there!

    I've boarded my 8-year old chihuahua here for overnight stays about 5 times now, with his longest stay being about a week long! My dog is extremely fearful with new people and is not friendly with dogs. I was so nervous the first time we left him at dozo, because he had never been boarded before and we worried he would misbehave with his handlers or the other dogs. Within 12hours of dropping him off, we got reassurance that he was doing well in the form of pictures and videos of what he was up to, sent directly to our phones. We also were able to watch him on their 24hour cameras, which we love to do when we're on a trip and wondering what he's doing. One time, we even turned the camera on in time to see him being given 1:1 attention and kisses by one of the dozo employees. It was really sweet to see and not out of the ordinary for the animal lovers who work at dozo. We always see him getting a nice amount of individual attention that I'm not sure he could get anywhere else. They are very diligent about his vaccines being up to date and will not confirm a booking unless he's got everything he needs, which makes me even more comfortable leaving him here knowing that the rest of doggies are also held to that standard. They also sell great dog gear in the store which we love, and they are great about covering a range of sizes that we sometimes have a hard time finding elsewhere! We are so grateful we found dozo and plan to be long time loyal customers!!

    I have been taking my Colby here since they opened. I cannot recommend them enough. The owners Yukako and Louis are fantastic and have gone above and behind over the years to take care of him including giving him special attention right after being neutered so I was still able to leave him with them for the day. The staff is also incredible. They offer pick up and drop off services which has been a life saver due to my schedule, pictures sent throughout the day, you can check in on your pet with the cameras in the facility. I know I always feel safe and confident when he is going there for the day. We had tried other daycares on occasion but nothing compared. If you need day care, this is your place.

    Our dog Brody absolutely loves Dozo! In fact, he tries to drag me there on his walks daily! We have utilized Dozo for both daycare and boarding services. Yukako and Louis are extremely communicative and always make sure to send us adorable pictures every time Brody goes! They are quick to communicate if they notice that anything is amiss, and you can tell that they truly care about your dog's happiness and well-being. As a newer dog parent, I was nervous leaving him overnight. With Dozo's cameras and caring staff, I now see it as a little vacation for our boy! He absolutely loves it, and always comes home so tired from playing with his friends. Thank you for your love and care!

    I happened to check their live webcam one day and saw one of the staff hugging my dog. They treat your dog like their own!

    My dog absolutely loves this place! They take such good care of him when he goes to Dozo Dog for daycare. The place smells so clean! I always see their staff cleaning which is wonderful! And as soon as I walk in, they greet you with a smile and a wave! Best doggy daycare, best staff, and the owners are so helpful and friendly! It is about a 20 min walk from where I live but it's so worth it because I know my dog is in the best hands when I leave him at Dozo Dog!

    We are OBSESSED with this place! We used to live in Astoria, and send our puppy Pablo to daycare at Dozo Dog whenever he needed to be looked after. After moving to a new town we looked into other day care places, but nothing made us feel as comfortable as Dozo Dog! We'll still drive 20 minutes out of the way just to take him there because we know he'll feel comfortable and properly cared for. We recently went away for the weekend and it was our first time spending nights without him. Dozo made us feel so comfortable and addressed all of our concerns. They sent us pictures regularly, and they also have live cameras if we ever wanted to check in. Attached is a photo that the staff sent us of Pablo on his first night! He was nervous but they gave him the love and care that he needed. We highly recommend Dozo Dog for day care and boarding!

    Where do I even begin? This place is amazing! We adopted a puppy from Texas who was scared of absolutely everything. A bag would blow in the wind and she would cower in a corner. Taking her to dozo dog completely changed her. She gained confidence, learned new manners and became a puppy full of happiness and energy. To say she loves dozo dog is an understatement! Now on our morning walks to dozo dog she basically wants to run there and jump in the room to start playing. The facility is kept beautiful and the entire team is great. So helpful and understanding. We really owe a lot to the team! Plus they have cameras so if you are ever nervous about your pup, you can check in and your worries will fade away. If you are looking for a daycare, look no further! You've found the place! Thank you dozo dog!

    Nice and clean on the human bed

    WOW, am I happy to have Dozo Dog in the neighborhood!! Great pricing, great services, AMAZING owners - the most caring, compassionate, and personable couple. My dog is a GSD, and has always been rejected from boarding or puppy play areas due to size and for his status as an intact dog. I totally understand, and just figured that he would not have these opportunities. He was scheduled for a bath at Dozo Dog, and was given the chance to frolic for a few minutes with the other dogs in daycare while waiting his turn. I was shocked and elated, and so proud to see him having fun for the first time! It was literally like dropping him off at school in September. The bath was fantastic - the owner helped the groomer complete a thorough deshedding on their own volition, and asked me if I thought he was dry enough at the end. ALSO - the entirely online/texting system is so user friendly, so accessible, and so easy. Uploading his immunization documentation and corresponding with Dozo was soooooooo simple! 10/5 stars. Will be exploring daycare in the near future and definitely bringing him back for his next bath!

    Before Ralph's first grooming session
    Malinduhhhs S.

    We came to Dozo for our puppers first cut. He's a 4 month old cavapoo and he needed a fresh cut for spring. Our appointment was for 9am however the dog ahead or ours was late for their appointment, which meant ours would be pushed back. We didn't mind as Kamijo (one of the owners) allowed Ralph to play with the other dogs in their daycare while we waited. Ralph's appointment started as soon as the other dog was done and I cant praise the groomer enough. Like I said this was our pups first time at the groomers so we were nervous. The groomer was gentle and patience with Ralph. Giving him affection when he was trembling. She was fantastic. The main reason we went with Dozo Dog for Ralph's first cut was the fact they allow you to watch. I had called a few places and noticed it was a common practice to not allow the pawrents to watch during the grooming process, which as a first time pawrent was a little disheartening. Well not at Dozo! We were able to watch the entire process. They have these big clear windows and it was so relieving knowing we were able to watch. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning. Four out of four paws, definitely recommend!

    How does feeding time work for dogs staying overnight? My dog sometimes needs to be coaxed into eating, so I am curious if we can pick out times he needs to eat or how that all works.

    They are super accommodating to your pets needs! If you have certain instructions and times. They really try to make sure they do everything they can to make them Comfortable

    I cannot begin to put into words how highly I think of Urban Woof. My dog has been going there…read moresince he was a puppy, and now at six years old, he has probably spent almost as much time there as he has at home. He attends daycare regularly, and we also board him there when we travel because we trust them completely. They truly care about every dog in their care. The staff is consistently kind, generous, and incredibly helpful, and they have always been flexible when we have needed it. We also bring him in nearly every month for baths and deshedding, and they always do a fantastic job. They are also extremely thoughtful when it comes to safety. They have a secure system with multiple doors to ensure no dog can slip out, and they clearly take this responsibility very seriously. They are strict about requiring up to date vaccinations, which gives me great peace of mind. I also appreciate that they do not accept every dog automatically. They conduct a trial to make sure each dog's behavior is a good and safe fit for their environment. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place they can truly trust with their dog.

I dropped off my 12lb dog at 4:30pm Friday and picked him up at 4:45pm on Sunday. I was charged $256. I did add on a $20 nail trim but was expecting it to be the advertised $80 a night. When I called about the discrepancy I was told that since I picked up Tony after noon. I was being charged the day care rate for those 4.5 hours of $70 - but the day care rate is $55. They didn't email me an invoice so the additional discrepancy is tax. I don't know! I politely pushed back and explained if I had known I would have sent someone to pick him up as that is a little crazy. I was informed it was on the website. I asked where and they couldn't tell me because it is not on the 24 hour care page. We left an impasse. I am disappointed because both me and Tony were very happy with their services.

The service we agreed upon was for Darrel to walk our dog and then put out his food and fresh water for him before leaving. There were frequent problems-- small at first-- with following the instructions. Darrel would forget to refill the water dish or would not close the refrigerator after feeding the dog (the dog food is in there). Each time we communicated the problem to Carole, she would tell us she'd remind Darrel but the problems continued. Once or twice, Darrel left our apartment door unlocked after walking the dog and bringing him home (luckily nothing bad happened). The final straw was that Darrel forgot to feed the dog a couple of weeks ago. We reached out to Carole to address the issue, which to us represented an escalating pattern of inadequate care for our dog and disregard of our simple instructions. Her response was that she "didn't like the tone" of our email, said that feeding and not charging extra for it was "doing a favor"-- charging extra to feed the dog was never something that was mentioned to us AT ALL throughout the course of the year we were using their services-- and proceeded to say she would no longer work with us. No apology, no attempts to make things right-- just an unwillingness to take feedback and accept responsibility when something that jeopardized the well-being of our dog happened on their watch. We have moved on to another walking company and are much happier with their services and willingness to communicate. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of zero is because these mistakes didn't happen every time our dog was walked and there were some weeks throughout the year where everything went according to plan. Would very much recommend against using this small business since they don't take responsibility for their mistakes, don't respond effectively to requests to correct them, and simply terminate their working relationship when you point out flaws in their service.
