I called the number listed here and the woman who answered was extremely rude and unpleasant. Seemed like more of a cat person than a dog person. Wouldn't bring my dogs anywhere near her. read more

Collete is amazing with our dog. She has been walking her for a couple months and she has helped our dog figure out how to deal with the city after being adopted from The suburbs. When we first got her she almost yanked my arm off. After a few weeks of weekly dog walking I started to see improvement. Our dog loves her daycare too. We could not be happier with our choice to take care of our loved one. read more

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about the NYC Paws Authority team. They were so good with my babies, my two rescue cats. I was so worried about finding a reliable pet sitter when I moved from a different area of nyc and had to find someone new. Colette is so kind and professional and so good with animals!! We all feel hesitant letting a stranger into our homes, especially when it comes to finding care for our pets! But I feel safe with NYC Paws Authority and can rest easy when I'm away because they're here and so reliable! read more

Colette is such a natural dog person that she immediately was able to wrangle our two pups - one small but aggressive and the other large, clumsy, and sweet. She loves and takes excellent care of our dogs, and goes out of her way to be available at all times if schedules change and the dogs need an extra walk. She's just wonderful! read more

I am so happy to be writing this review . It's nice to find not only an amazing dog walker for my baby Rocky who loves you guys, but also just an amazingly well run, respectful, reliable buisness.... It's a breath of fresh air. I cannot rave enough and I'm sure you'll be receiving a ton of new clients because i tell anyone in need of a walker about you guys! read more

NYC Paws Authority - Dog Walkers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I used Colette's service for a few weeks when I injured myself and couldn't walk my pug in the mornings. i had a great experience with her. I asked her to walk my pug at 6:00am... Which is hella early, and she was game. She was very professional and had me fill out an assessment before she started services. My pug absolutely loved her! He would bounce out of bed every morning when she came in... This is a big thing for a very lazy pug who I sometimes have to literally pull out of bed. She showed up for all scheduled appointments and even helped me bring down trash a few times since I was on crutches and live on the 3rd floor of a walk up. I would give Collette 5 stars with NO hesitation, but she was a bit late a few mornings. Not a huge deal since she had keys to my apartment, but since it was so early in the morning it kind of messed with my morning schedule (I generally don't like being in the shower/getting ready when people are in my house). This was not at all a huge problem and overall she was very reliable. All in all I would TOTALLY recommend this service! I will use them for boarding as well if my regular service is not available. read more

Love how she loves our babies. She is the kindest and most attentive walker/boarder/sitter we've ever had. Thank you, Colette!

Collette is the best! She's been walking and taking care of my Peke, Moby, since early this year. He loves her, and always walks for her (he's a stubborn Peke, he won't walk sometimes!). She's reliable, attentive, cares about Moby, and has helped me out when I was stuck at work and needed help. She's adapted the walk routine was he was sick, and instead, stopped by to let him out and to keep him company. She's also done day care, boarding...and even checked on Moby when he was sick! I trust her 100% with Moby and recommend Collette/NYC Paws authority to anybody who wants the best for their furry companion. read more

NYC Paws Authority is awesome! My partner was out of town and I was called out of town for work at the last minute. Colette was able to step in at short notice and make sure our two dogs were well taken care of. I could tell the moment I met her that she truely loves animals, and my dogs fell in love with her as soon as they met her. She really made me feel at ease. As any dog owner knows, it's not easy leaving them in someone else's hands, but I really trust Colette and appreciate her passion and love for animals. I'm so glad to have such wonderful dog care here in central Brooklyn! read more

Colette is absolutely fantastic. She has taken care of our pup on twice now and both times everything was wonderful. She came and picked the dog up and dropped her off when we got back in town. During our time away the second time our pup had some digestive issues, but Colette added some rice to her diet and helped her feel a bit better until we got back. Really, she is amazing and we are already scheduling our next trip, so we'll be making use of Colette again very soon. read more

Colette and co. are just the best in the business. From the moment she met Hazel (our little jack russel/shi tzu mix) I knew from the way she knelt down and greeted her at her level and the calm demeanour she showed that this was someone who knows how to handle dogs. Not only that, I knew this isn't just someone I'm going to pay to walk my dog, it's someone I can trust to show the right amount of care and attention/affection towards our little member of the family and give us peace of mind while we're away at work during the day. She goes above and beyond by keeping us up-to-date through regular communication with how Hazel is doing on her walks and checking in with us when she's not walking her. As her business grows she makes sure we are comfortable with new hires, and lets us meet them before they meet our dog. It's little things like this that make us extremely happy with the service we've gotten so far. read more

We have been using PAWS Authority for a year now and absolutely LOVE Colette! From the beginning she demonstrated sincere concern and patience for our dog Ming, who took a while to warm up to an outside person walking her. While other dog walking services in the area were less willing to put in the extra time, Colette remained dedicated to working with Ming and now has a GREAT rapport with her. We also use PAWS Authority for their overnight boarding service. Ming LOVES staying with them so much and has a good time...we never worry about leaving her. PAWS Authority is VERY professional and we could not ask for a better dog walking service! read more

I'm not yet a customer of NYC Paws Authority but the next time our dogs need anything I'll be calling Colette. Earlier today my husband and I met Colette by accident. We were stranded outside our vet's office with our very tired 16-year-old pitt. Our ride was delayed and 2 cabs had refused to take us with the dog. Colette had been at the vet as well taking (really good) care of another pup. When she saw us waiting she not only offered us a ride, but gave us a portable water bowl for our dog and filled it up. After a really bad day her kindness meant the world to us. Our ride finally came but just the offer - and the water- completely turned our mood around. I know this isn't a traditional review but having seen how Colette treats the dogs she cares for - and humans she doesn't even know, I can recommend her without hesitation. Colette, if you read this, I can't tell you how much you helped us today. Thank you so much. We've got your magnet on the fridge and we'll be calling you soon! read more

This is the perfect cat sitting service for me and my varmint. I'm so glad I found NYC Paws Authority. My cat can be a problem sometimes. He's really old now. He thinks everyone should recognize that he's the alpha cat. He needs lots of attention. But he's extremely shy around strangers and doesn't typically take to men -- like, at all. The first time I took a trip a few months after I adopted him, I left him in the care of a trusted neighbor and friend whom my previous cat had absolutely adored. After I was back home for a few minutes, I realized that my varmint had peed on my bed several times during my absence. Then I noticed that he had just taken a poop in one of the shoes that I had removed a few minutes after getting home, and he was in the process of pooping in my suitcase that I was just unpacking. Pretty clear message. Have you ever seen those really mean, hard, round, super angry cat poops? THOSE. This is not a cat who suffers in silence. I got rid of the mattress & bed linens, cleaned my shoes and suitcase, and kept the cat. I've had other sitters for him over the past 6 years, and there have been issues here and there. I adopted this cat when he was ten years old after his elderly female human died. I don't think he was around men much, given his aversion to them. So when Colette told me that her nephew James would be looking after my varmint, I was a bit worried -- but I decided to just go with it. I told her that my varmint didn't like men, but Colette told me that James was very good with cats. And I figured I could just get rid of my nice expensive mattress again, if need be. Know what? James IS very good with cats. And I mean REALLY GOOD. On his first visit he snapped a picture of him petting my varmint. WHAT?! When James had come over for a prelim visit, my cat wouldn't come out from behind a stack of boxes. But James had coaxed him out on his first visit and was giving him lots of attention. And he sent updates everyday, which very much mitigated my usual concern & worry and allowed me to concentrate on the purpose of my trip. This young man really knows his way around a problem cat. When I arrived back home my cat was calm, comfortable & secure. And my furniture was clean. I can't ask for more than that. If you're in NYC Paws Authority's region of service, consider yourself very, very fortunate. I know I do. Thanks Colette & James. read more

We've been using NYC Paws Authority for over a year now and we couldn't be happier with their services. Colette and her team are very reliable and accommodating. Whenever we've had to request a last minute walk due to schedule changes at work, she and her team were able to step in at the last minute and make sure our dog was taken care of. I'd highly recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a dog walker! read more

Colette and her crew cannot be faulted! She has looked after my dog, cat and goldfish and always asks about them. She's there in a pinch and bills in the most honest of manners. She's our adopted Aunty! read more

Amazing service, I felt safe leaving my 4 cats with Paws, Colette addressed any concerns I had and was so patient, she went above and beyond to make sure my cats and house was safe when I went away from vacation. read more

after trying a few dog walking services that didn't work well for us, we found nyc paws authority and haven't looked back. colette is a true animal lover who really gets to know and understand each pet's personality. it's such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets and your home. each day we are provided with an email update about the dogs adventures for that day and sometimes we get a photo or useful information about local grooming or vet care. we highly recommend nyc paws authority to anyone with a pet. read more

WE LOVE COLETTE AND JAMES!!!!! We love the whole team. My dogs are walked by mostly James and they stay with Colette when we go away. We are so lucky to have these wonderful people in our lives. read more

The best dog walking/pet sitting service around! Colette and assistant Keita are responsible, reliable, caring and patient with our dog and cats. Also very knowledgeable with regard to animal behavior, they have both helped us with advice on how to train our sweet but rambunctious shelter dog. read more

NYC Paws is bar none the best dog walking/boarding service!! I'm someone who loves my dog as if she were my child, and I've always hesitated to believe that anyone (outside of my family) would care for her with the love and attentiveness that I do. With a new job with longer hours, and a recent move, I needed to put my guard down. Colette was referred to me by a neighbor and she's absolutely the best! My dog gets so happy when she hears Colette coming to the door that she literally cries with excitement. Colette is completely trustworthy and always goes above and beyond, even bringing in my UPS packages and cleaning up my dog if she gets dirt on her after a walk. Colette is truly an animal lover, and she's very knowledgeable. I love the email updates and pictures she sends, particularly when I'm out of town. Despite the fact that she's so amazing, Colette quite conscientiously asks for constructive feedback. I honestly have no suggestions for improvement. In short, Colette not only genuinely cares about your dog, but also cares about her customer relationships. The service is reasonably priced and well-worth the quality. I highly recommend. read more

I like to think of myself as a cat whisperer, but after meeting Colette last year, I realize I am a mere dilettante and she's the real thing. I have a 9-year old cat, Gomez, who has been a true scaredy cat ever since he was rescued in Red Hook. He used to run when he thought you might touch him and cower if you actually got your hands on him. But after spending two weeks in Colette's capable hands last year (and many more since,) he has become a huge mush. He's no lap cat, but he doesn't bolt anymore and he will sneak in next to me on the couch for cuddles. I don't know what she did - was it drugs? - but clearly she's the one. AND she is reliable, trustworthy and takes cute pics. read more

We absolutely LOVE NYC Paws Authority! We have a Frenchy named Preston who considers Colette one of his best friends. The loving care and keen attention she gives to him is such a comfort to us. We trust her entirely and know that when Preston is being taken care of by NYC Paws he is in the best of hands. They provide walks for Preston on a weekly basis & when we go out of town they board him & honestly most of the time he doesn't want to leave! Colette has also given us expert advise on training techniques & health care for our pup. If we could give 6 stars we would! read more

I've been using PAWS Authority for over a year now & we couldn't be happier with Colette & team's genuine concern, passion, punctuality, & dedication to a job well done. I can't recommend their services highly enough!! read more

I (we) have been a client of NYC Paws Authority for about a year, for cat sitting three cats. Colette & James are trustworthy, reliable, good communicators and obvious animal lovers--what else could you ask for from pet sitters? Oh yes, reasonable prices. Whenever we leave town we have nothing to worry about with our cats. We're grateful they're in the neighborhood. read more

NYC Paws Authority is the best! We have used Colette's cat-sitting service twice and have been thoroughly pleased both times. She has a wonderful way with animals, and is extremely responsible, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I completely trust her with my pet...he loves her! Highly recommend! You can't go wrong with NYC Paws Authority. read more

Colette and NY Paws Authority came to take care of our two elderly cats while we were away. It was complicated as they both had chronic health issues, my one cat is diabetic and the other was elderly with kidney insufficiency. On top of twice daily insulin shots and daily subcutaneous fluids, there were a number of pills to give. I was worried about leaving my cats in anyone's care but from the first meeting with Colette it was obvious that she was methodical and diligent and very good with animals. When I was away for almost 2 weeks Colette, at short notice, took care of the cats with love and competence. Her care included constant reports as to their well being and quick communication if there was confusion or questions. I left somewhat abruptly and forgot to leave some necessary items, including cat litter and paper towels and when this was brought to my attention, Colette graciously secured those for us without complaint. I can not recommend her care enough and I will not hesitate to work with her again the next time I have to travel. Thank you Colette! read more
