Exceptional Dog Care Service Near Crocheron Park!…read more I can't express how happy I am to have found Doggy Do-Gooders! I've always been extremely hands-on with my dog, Kuma, a 13-year-old Pomeranian Poodle who's energetic yet reserved and a bit high-maintenance (white fur challenges, anyone?). For years, I found it difficult to trust anyone else to handle his care, but Doggy Do-Gooders completely changed my perspective. I discovered them through a friend's recommendation, and I was surprised to learn how conveniently located they are near Crocheron Park in Bayside. Their team--particularly Jason and Alix--has been fantastic. They come directly to us, which makes everything so seamless, and their care and attention to Kuma make them feel like part of the family. The service is incredibly personable. Jason has an almost intuitive understanding of Kuma's needs, from walking to overall handling, which gives me such peace of mind. They've even managed to work with Kuma's quirky reserved nature while ensuring he gets the exercise and engagement he needs. What I love most is their reliability and professionalism. They're always punctual, communicate well, and even send updates during walks (sometimes with adorable photos of Kuma!). These small touches make a huge difference, especially for someone like me who's always been cautious about delegating my dog's care. Doggy Do-Gooders is a true diamond in the rough. I wasn't able to find them on Google, but that makes them feel even more like a hidden gem. If you're in the Bayside area and looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walkers, I can't recommend them enough. Kuma and I are so grateful for their service--it's been life-changing! If you want peace of mind and top-notch care for your pup, don't hesitate to reach out to them. They've completely exceeded my expectations!

I cannot believe this company. How unprofessional. My vet gave me this family's information for cat…read moresitting while we're away on vacation for 2 weeks. We contacted them 3 months ago, and they confirmed they can provide the services. I have a friendly confirmation via email from the owner's wife. I called to confirm our in-home appt now 2 weeks before we leave. They were supposed to meet the cats at our home and take the house key. The owner is driving to my house the morning of our appointment, he gets lost and ends up in Hillside in Queens somewhere near the LIE. He calls me 5 mins before the appt to advise me he was confused and doesn't service my area. AFTER THREE MONTHS now you check the address and you go back on your promise and confirmation. Nice, What kind of business is this? Now my cats are left with no care thanks to them. Maybe they're getting old and heartless but you don't do that to people. We leave on vacation with the family and friends and now we have no one to care for our cats. I will make sure to let everyone know that is referring your company how horrible you are. The customer is always right. You should have provided the service anyway.

I have known Ari for 4 months now. I met him on the streets of my neighborhood while walking my own…read moredog. I thought he was a neighbor with a dog and he thought I was a fellow dog walker. Very likely because I spend 3 hours a day walking my dog! Anyway, we are probably the 2 people in my neighborhood who spend the most time on these streets walking a dog. We became friends quickly. But I am not only a friend but a client as well in the sense that I was so incredibly impressed with how responsible, concerned and involved Ari is with the dogs that are entrusted to him that I asked him to be my primary contact for my American Kennel Club (aka AKC) Back Up Plan. That means that in the event something would happen to me and I could not take care of my beloved dog, Ari would be contacted to step in for him. That speaks volumes about the trust and faith I have in Ari. I am an admitted over the top dog Mom who is crazy about my dog. I simply could never entrust his well being to just anyone. Ari is a very special person. I happen to know not only Ari but many of the dogs and the owners that he works for. Both the dogs and the dog owners are effusive about Ari, and with very good reasons. He genuinely cares about what he is doing and takes it very seriously. He is always thinking about the dogs he takes care of and what is best for them. Between you and me, I think he cares more about the dogs than many of the owners. I have spent serious time with Ari while he is walking individual dogs and have even met him at the dog run for our development so my dog could play with some of the dogs that he takes care of on a regular basis. Ari happens to have a client who has the same type of dog as mine, which is a Shiba Inu, and we have arranged for the two of them to play together in the dog run and knock one another out. I even recorded their play session and Ari sent it to the owners so they could see what a good time their dog had with another Shiba Inu. Ari also has an assistant who works for him (because that is how busy he is) who happens to be someone I know as well. She is also dog crazy and that is how I met her. I cannot recommend Ari highly enough.

This is really important for me as depending on app-based dog walking services can be pretty unreliable. I'd emailed Pet Sitters Club at short notice to establish walks for my puppy Leo, and James came early to our apartment on a Saturday morning to set everything up. He saw some behavior to be corrected with Leo and he went right into training mode which was great for me as a first time puppy mother to learn. He also gave me other tips that I've incorporated into Leo's training. Leo's walked by Gabby daily and we're really happy with her! The entire business is run very professionally and they're very accommodating with changes and additions. I also appreciate their very prompt replies, even late-night weekends! Love supporting this local business.

Nancy first of all was gracious enough to take on the task of caring for Piggie who we dearly love as he is about 5 years old close to 6 inches in length and yes a chubby fish who loves to eat yet needs special custom care. Nancy was very detail oriented and out us at ease with her knowledge, experience and expertise caring for Piggie. She wanted to do everything hands on so she would insure it was done properly and that told us she really cares for those pets she takes under her wing. Piggie needs a special blend of regular fish food and crushed fresh peas which is a little bit of work but Nancy understood and didnt deem it a problem at all. We enjoyed our vacation knowing our pet was in great hand with Nancy. We felt very fortunate to find someone with her credentials willing to stop in daily to care for our fish. Her rates are surprisingly fair and affordable and she truly treats each pet as if her own and that to me is priceless. I could go on and on saying more good things that she is punctual, friendly understanding etc but I'm sure you get my point. 5 stars off the charts review and highly recommend Nancy and her company. We will be calling her again next vacation for sure. If you want peace of mind cuddle n snuggle pet care delivers!!!

The amount of care, love, and professionalism made me feel at ease while I was away attending to some important family matters.

I loved how I got so many lovely videos and photos of my cats every day. I knew my babies were in such good hands with Dana the sitter, who was nice enough to bring my mail in and took the time to play and engage with them--and they warmed up to her quickly (not an easy thing for them to do with strangers!) . Very communicative, accommodating, trustworthy and kind company of true animal lovers--so much so that I booked them again in a couple of months when I have to go out of town again.
