We spent a stressful afternoon searching and eventually took a chance on BKLYN Petsitter. If you're in the same boat, stop looking. Richard is great. Richard (the sole sitter, despite the corporate-sounding name) is easygoing but also professional. It's a comforting combination and one that we appreciated after a couple of earlier attempts with more well-meaning but gypsy-like sitters. We're cautious, maybe even a little paranoid, about who we give apartment keys to but within five minutes of meeting him, felt reassured. We've had no hesitations about leaving him alone in our home since our return that first week to an apartment that was exactly as we'd left it. In our opinion, he is incredibly trustworthy. It's been two years and Richard's sat for our cats almost a dozen times - often at the last minute because we're so bad at planning ahead. Sometimes it's been for one night, others a week or more. We have no complaints, so finally got off our asses to leave a review. Despite being skittish and a nervous wreck when we returned from trips using other sitters, our one persistently neurotic cat has thrived under his care. She's usually lounging on the ottoman when we return, instead of hiding behind the desk and needing to be coaxed out. The other cat was on a medical regimen for months with as many as 3 different meds taken various ways and at different times. No problem for Richard. On return, our cats have always been healthy, clean, sociable, and remarkably relaxed. Richard's laid-back persona reassured us when we first met him and carries over to his behavior with our beasts, who treat him like one of the family now. He's kind to them, competitively priced, always there when we need him, cleans the litterbox, and can be trusted with our keys. Seriously, stop looking.

Richard is great. I was very nervous about finding a cat sitter because my cat is very attached to…read moreme and needs lots of attention. I have never used a cat sitter and I have had my cat Felix for five years. I finally had to hire a cat sitter and I couldn't be happier with Richard. Before I went away, Richard came to my apartment to meet Felix and me and I was immediately put at ease by his gentle and caring nature. As for the visits (I do 2 a day), Richard does exactly what I ask, and the best part is that he texts at every visit to let me know how Felix is doing. I have used Richard twice so far and I will definitely be using him in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE AT BROOKLYN UNLEASHED!! Last week I came with my daughter (without my dog) to…read moresee if it'll be a possibility for my Chihuahua. I was greeted by a nice tall young man who told me nobody was allowed in. He just showed me the place through a glass window, but we couldn't see much of the place at all. This made me uncomfortable, as I wanted to see where my precious dog will be playing. However, I was still willing to give it a try. He told me to come on Friday, and said 4:00 would be fine for a Temperament Test. He said to bring proof from the vet of all the vaccinations. My dog studied hard for the next few days LOL and we arrived at 4 with all the veterinarian papers. I was greeted by the VERY NASTY OWNER NAMED ANDRÉ!!! The way he greeted me was the biggest red flag, as this made me wonder if everyone acts like him in this place and why would I want to leave my precious Hope with a person like this. He also told me the vet papers were not good enough, told me my appointment was for 2:00 (but it wasn't), and looked at my pup with such suspicion as if she was going to do something wrong! We left in disgust, I gave Hope the biggest hug ever, and promised her she would NEVER HAVE TO GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN!!!

DO NOT BOARD YOUR PET HERE. UNTREATED INJURIES AND MEDICAL NEGLECT…read more I boarded my dog, Bugsy, at Brooklyn Unleashed for 10 days (April 8-20). I returned to find him in a horrific state: multiple bite wounds and punctures on his ears and muzzle, and a severe, painful UTI that was left completely untreated. The most disturbing part is the medical evidence. I took him to the vet immediately, and the clinical report confirmed that the lacerations were in an active healing stage and already over 48 hours old at the time of pickup. This means the owner, Andrey Tevlin, and his staff watched my dog suffer with visible head injuries and a painful infection for days and NEVER NOTIFIED ME, despite their contract stating they would contact owners for medical situations. My dog is now straining to urinate and requires over $2,800 in emergency medical care and X-rays because they failed to provide basic supervision or the "Duty of Care" they were paid for. Andrey has gone silent and refused to take responsibility for the neglect that happened under his watch. I have already filed formal reports with the NYC Department of Health, the ASPCA, and am pursuing legal action in Small Claims Court. Save yourself the heartbreak and your pet the pain--go anywhere else. This facility is unsafe, and the management is completely unresponsive to animal emergencies

Most importantly, the staff is patient and attentive. Chewbacca has seen 2-3 different doctors since we've been coming here, and each one has shown genuine compassion and care. Compared to other vet locations I've been to, I also find their pricing to be very affordable and upfront. I really appreciate the transparency and the level of care they provide. I rarely ever leave reviews -- I'm more of a "see for myself" type of gal -- but the experience here has been so consistently positive that I felt it was worth sharing.

On the way, they sent me a check-in link so I could fill out my information which was helpful, the moment we walked in the door the security and the staff were so kind and quickly took us to an exam room. Dr. Anderson and the vet nurses were so gentle and kind, they explained everything clearly and were very thorough in my opinion. They explained the tests they would do to check her eyes and sent me information with transparent pricing which I really appreciated!! They performed the tests and my dog was okay, they sent us home with a cone and her eye is already looking better. Very grateful to the wonderful, caring, and skilled staff at VEG.

Supposedly, management(?) has changed? My story: I knew my dog was elderly and had some kind of "issue". For $995, they gave him a shot (not a drip) of saline for hydration and standard blood panel. And, this was only after I had paid and was ready to walk out after almost 2 hours of waiting. ( I get that ERs can be busy, But really? As soon as I was leaving, they *sprang* into action.) Then, I was told that my dog had major kidney failure. Ok. 16 y.o. dog. Not surprising. But, he was not that sick. Them: "You can have him put down now for the low fee of $$$$. RIGHT NOW". Huh? My dog is dead--VEG were definitely NOT involved. It was natural and peaceful. I Just asked them to remove me from their mailing list. Response: "We will contact IT and see what we can do." GTFO

As a elementary kid, I vaguely remember a really heavy accent to the point where you cannot understand him) so it was a real life changer when my family found the Animal Hospital of Brooklyn. My first dog was a Pekingese. I will be honest, my family and I were not very good at training him...he was only nice towards family but Dr. John Campanile and Frankie knew exactly how to handle him without stressing him out or roughing him up. Our second dog was a Pomeranian and again, I loved how Dr. John Campanile and Frankie handled him. My third dog now, a Shorkie, although I had missed quite a few visits since Covid due to personal reasons, also come here for her care. However, our last visit was with Dr. Alejandro del Valle instead of Dr. John Campanile. Dr. Alejandro del Valle was also great from what I saw. The entire staff seems great. Professional, compassionate and caring. I will continue to bring my pets here for as long as I live in Brooklyn.
