Buddy's has been our go to for dog grooming for 4 years the past 3 groomer Peter has been more than our groomer he was our trusted friend. He was absolutely amazing with my dog and never failed to treat Malia like a true queen. Her cut was always perfection and he would love when I text him photos. I called today to book a grooming appointment and the gentleman who answered said grooming services are suspended our groomer died. Cold callused and without empathy or compassion. Of course if I was absolutely shocked devastated and so hurt to hear this. Peter our beloved Peter has died suddenly and this is how we were told. When I shared that we as customers should have received an email as we all loved Peter the response was it's on Instagram have a nice day! Shame on Buddy's for this. Shame on you for now valuing the heart of your customers and the legacy of Peter. We will move on and find a new place to go but Peter is irreplaceable in our hearts. How this was handled tells me this is no longer a place for me and my family. RIP Peter. Update: See image after providing feedback on how I received the news I noted above which by the way was a note in beautiful message that said (how I found out was in poor taste) I then received this horrible message from the manager in my IG DMs.

I am sure many of you can relate to this feeling and the anxiety one experiences when your dog needs boarding. After their holiday excursion and stay at Buddy's, Lily, Chloe and Zoe came home happy, well exercised and super calm. I know instantaneously from their doggie smiles that they are happy and were well cared for at Buddy's. I say Buddy's Dog Den should be your first and only choice.

Highly recommend Strutting Mutts to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog care in Brooklyn!

If you're looking for a dog walking service, you've found the best with Not The Rug. Not only are…read moreLuis and his team extremely professional, communicative, and kind people - they take great pictures and give updates that will brighten your day. We've had our dog Dandy use Not The Rug since he was a puppy. With walks, the app they use shows you the routes they go on, plus they'll give you an update as to what happened on each walk. Dandy not only loves the social aspect of seeing his walker and the dogs, but the exercise tuckers him out so if we're not home he's happy to nap in his crate upon returning. Had Dandy been less social, Not The Rug would work to make sure he still had a great experience. They get to know you and your dog to ensure that walks are safe and fun, regardless of temperament or additional needs. I can't say enough good things about Not The Rug!

I was a tiny bit jealous (lol), but mostly just so happy knowing how loved and cared for they were. She truly treated them like her own. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring, and totally in tune with your pets, Nellie is your girl. We're so grateful we found her!

Because I travel frequently for work, finding a pet care service that is 100% reliable was my top priority, and they deliver every single time. Their app-based scheduling makes booking a breeze, and I love that all communication happens right there. The sitters send the best photo updates through the app during their visits, which gives me total peace of mind while I'm away. On top of the wonderful service, I love supporting a local, woman-owned business. They are incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely care about animals. Highly recommend!!

My dogs Bambino and Artie have never slept as hard as they do after a day at the Pawffice.

My older dog sleeps in the sun and relaxes all day while my younger guy runs laps inside (they even take him in a quiet room to nap when he's exhausted but still wants to play). They also have great events for the dogs like foam parties, getting them on citi field etc where you get to meet your pups friends and be part of a community!

That never happens here and it's clearly because the owner loves dogs from the bottom of his heart. One of the guys on staff even gifted us a little doodle of our pup which was so sweet
