I can finally relax during my time away knowing that my cats will be in the best hands.

She is extremely thorough during her first visit, taking notes of everything. She will send the best email updates, also very detailed with a run down of what her visit was like.

I found Katie's on Instagram a couple of years back and have had the best experience. The administrators are very responsive and friendly. They found me a sitter near my apartment and I love that he was in the neighborhood. Once done with water, feedings, and litter box duties he spent plenty of time just loving on them and playing with them. Larry, my sitter up to now, brought them treats and toys out of his own pocket, sent me updates and photos/videos with every evening visit, and always kept me apprised of how they were doing. I'm super sad that we are losing Larry due to me moving to a different borough but I have faith that Katie's will find me a new sitter who is just as caring and reliable. Thank you for the great service and the peace of mind!

As shown in the videos, which were taken within a couple of hours of us picking him up, something is clearly wrong with our dog coughing his lungs out but nobody noticed. There's also a bald patch of skin on his back. When we contacted Puppy Loft about these symptoms- they first said it was because our dog barked a lot and played hard with other dogs, and then said he must have gotten sick that day. I understand that as pet owners group boarding always involves risks of our dogs getting sick, and while the Puppy Loft team are nice people, how they handled it - negligence, refusing to accept any responsibility and brushing things off - was really disappointing.

I'm very disappointed by Kitty in NY (the "agency" ), specifically their caregiver, Jody R., for…read morethe lack of accountability, negligence of care and poor communication. I would not recommend Jody or this service to anyone. For context, I was overseas visiting my family over the holidays and just picked up my Maine Coon. My cat's fur absolutely reeked of smoke. He's a long haired cat and upon return, was also severely matted. Two months prior, I had met Jody for an initial, in-person meet and greet to manage communication and care expectations for cat boarding. Detailed care and communication parameters were established in the onset, baked into the contract, signed by all parties so everyone was on the same page. There were no "mismatch" of communication or care expectations. Fast forward to today, not once was it disclosed that someone in her household smoked. I also gave Jody very specific care instructions, that my long haired cat had to be brushed everyday. Ultimately my cat came back in a state of severe discomfort from the pulling of the matting on his skin. Jody also did not provide clean, filtered water on a daily basis. I had to follow up with her multiple times, before she finally disclosed her filter wasn't working for days. To anyone reading this, how are these actions not negligent by the caregiver? Would you consider this a safe and risk-free environment when your cat comes home reeking of smoke? Isn't this / borderline animal abuse? It was also baked into our contract that Jody was suppose to provide daily updates, considering I was going to be overseas for 19 days. When I would ask her about how my cat is doing, she would basically tell me to "shut up" and stop sending her texts. Isn't she getting paid / part of her responsibility as a cat sitter to provide daily updates? I've also addressed these issues directly with John W. at the agency. John chalked it up with the "we are sorry" and doesn't do anything about it. I pressed him further on my concerns for my cat's wellbeing, so John finally offered to find a new caregiver. I made the ultimate decision to not move my cat to a new caregiver due to 1. how stressful it is for cats to acclimatize to another new environment and 2. the agency's track record doesn't give me any confidence to go through the whole vetting process again on providing a new, actually responsible caregiver. What if they're another Jody? and 3. I will take matters into my own hands and come back early to rescue my cat from negligence. All of my friends / family were also out of town over the holidays, so I couldn't ask them to look after my cat. All I wanted was to make sure my cat was in a safe and stable environment. This was not a "personal choice." In fact, I would be an irresponsible pet parent if I did nothing/ did not fly back early to rescue my cat from a negligent caregiver. End of the day, if Jody was actually a responsible caregiver, there would be no reason for me to return early. Kitty in NY failed to mention below that in the onset, they did not offer any reimbursements. I had to draw the boundary, walk them through the math / rationale before they finally agreed to submit the correct remittance. Reimbursement was certainly not a voluntary option offered by them as they made it seem. There were no detailed background checks done on Jody either, as the agency stated they would on their caregivers. For instance, Jody is currently not a social worker as outlined in the agency's profile of her. She's a full time dog walker. This was a red flag for me in the beginning so I asked John for referrals on Jody. He could only summon one referral, who gave one positive review on Jody. Where are the other proofs / reviews of Jody's "years of excellent service" and "positive client feedback" as the agency claims? If she is so good at her job, what does the agency have to hide? For anyone who engages Kitty in NY in the future, please beware that if you take the gamble and land yourself with someone negligent, I've given you a preview of what will happen and the agency's lack of accountability and transparency. Whoever lands Jody for future dog walking or cat sitting service, you have been warned to stay away. Who knows how she treats your pets behind closed doors....

We received a call…read moreone morning from one of the staff members who were concerned with a bleeding wound found on our dog and suggested an immediate visit to the vet. The veterinarian found the cause of wound to be inconclusive but did confirm it seemed to be (recently) environmental and not self-inflicted (as our dog could not personally reach that area on her body). They did not rule out another dog attacking ours but said that was most likely not the cause. The fact is that we dropped our healthy, clean dog off in good condition and she left with a serious, visible wound as the pictures show - this was not there prior to the drop off and it's quite frankly insane and offensive that was up for debate by Paws of Chelsea. I'm giving two stars as the staff was professional and communicative in handling this issue, on the way to the veterinarian. However, there was zero accountability on their part and we were met with excuses and blame. Paws of Chelsea did give us one free night of boarding which was appreciated but was not nearly as much as we had to spend on an extremely expensive vet bill and the discomfort our dog suffered. Based on reading other reviews and how the owner chooses to respond, I do not suggest this place for boarding. If someone is choosing to board, I HIGHLY suggest doing a full examination with pictures, before dropping off your dog and signing their waiver.
