My husband and I had been looking for a reliable cat sitter in the area for a while and I'm so glad…read morewe found Mende! Mende is always quick to reply when we are requesting to book dates or asking questions. Before we officially booked with Mende, she stopped by our apartment for a meet and greet. She asked plenty of great questions and took down our vet and emergency contact information. Mende has made going out of town stress-free! She always sends updates and videos when during her visits which we really appreciate. Though one of my cats is very shy, I know Mende will win her over eventually :) Thanks Mende!

In Mende's first visit, our cats seemed to immediately fall in love with her, and we never looked back.

Great service here! I called you a couple months ago because one of my pet parents (I am a breeder)…read morecalled me just panicking because she was on vacation and her neighbor friends that were watching her puppy Frankie, a ten month old miniature dachshund and unfortunately they were unable to sleep because he was whining and up all night crying and they could not sleep and that now she needed to find a place for him to stay immediately. Although they were, at the time reserved and very busy, they took the time to speak with me on the phone and go over everything with what they did with the pups and how they took care of them each individually and very conscientiously and with great care and I was very impressed with their service and the level of care they provided for the pet parents' fur babies. They reassured me that they would do everything possible to make sure he was extremely well taken care of and that his separation anxiety was also addressed while his mom was away on business so that way when she came home he would be a better puppy and most likely to react as strongly when she went away the next time. I like that they have specific program just for separation anxiety to calm the pets as well, you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work and really care about the animals and that the customers are happy with the great level of care they provide for their babies. I would recommend this place because I would even choose this place myself for my pets, if I were ever visiting there in Jersey City that is, and that really says a lot.

Terrible. First off these 5 star reviews must be FAKE the pet sitter that was supposed to be…read moresitting was changed last minute, without giving us notice. Also 4 out of the 6 schedule visits the sitters showed up more than two hours late. On top of that the tracking app and check-in and check-out scans were very conveniently "not working " luckily we have a home security system that records the times they were there. In one occasion we also noticed they didn't bother to clean the litter box so we had to contact their boss and make them go back to clean it. How ridiculous I am doing that so called bosses job. Not to mention the sitter looked in boxes that looked like jewelry boxes luckily we had hid those away beforehand. So if you are ok with all this go for it. Otherwise you are better off getting someone off the street to pet sit for you. No it is not a mistake. I literately spoke to Pedro over the phone and he made up excuses and he still charged me. I'm adding the payment I made. I can't believe they have no shame. Specially after being so negligent, wow, everyone stay away this is the type of people you let in your home.

I am so happy I found Never Alone Pets!! My catsitter fell through last minute for a weekend trip…read morelast week and Dami was a lifesaver. She responded to my initial email request from their site pretty quickly and then was SUPER responsive. She came on a really short notice to meet my two cats and grab a set of my keys and I felt comfortable after meeting her - she's super friendly and nice and seems to really love cats. I had her come twice over the weekend to feed and play with them (and do some light litterbox cleaning) and she could not have been better! Each visit was $25 all in and she keeps you updated with texts and photos and even videos. It was really nice to see my cats in action while I was missing them and see how well taken care of they were. Dami even cleaned and washed their food bowls without being asked! She was super personable and a huge animal lover and I'll definitely be using her for future cat sitting visits :)

Their prices are unbeatable and Charlie and the team care so much about the dogs. He has given us tons of great advice for our pup and she comes home every day so happy! Sometimes I get videos of her and she looks like she is having the time of her life. The best part about Lucky Dog is that they have a great outdoor space, so the dogs get to be outside. Charlie is extremely responsive via text or email and it is easy to pay to your bill. Since we live in the building, we get a discount and they even pick up and drop off our dog every day. It is literally a lifesaver and has made getting a dog an easy transition. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Tali, Lucky Dog!

We had an exceptional experience boarding our cat through Katie's Kitty. She is a timid cat with a…read morelot of fears and some very specific quirks -- like not being able to be left alone overnight -- that past in-home sitters have ignored, leading us to be stressed and upset on trips and our cat even more so. We haven't had a single trip that's gone without major issues because of sitter neglect and lack of care. We decided to try boarding to help with our cat's separation anxiety and we still can't believe how well it went. Communication and expectations were open and clear, and the sitter went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt safe and cared for, even with her timidity and fears. She did so much to ease her anxiety and help her in the stressful situation of unfamiliarity and interrupted routine. It was a dream come true to find someone like this. I was also reassured by concluding a contract with the company, which clearly stipulates all provisions of the boarding and when we'll receive updates/photos, etc. It eased our minds so much compared with past experiences when communication was totally sporadic despite someone living in our home. We will absolutely book through them in the future. Their professionalism and dedication were so appreciated!

As everyone who owns cats already knows, you cannot introduce cats like this. And how did I find out? The cat was in the background of the update photo she sent on night one. I insisted on a full refund and rightfully received it, but have heard absolutely nothing from management (Ed), no apology from Anna B who "didn't know what the big deal was" and got zero responses to my two emails. Very disappointing experience. I cannot speak for other sitters or managers, but based on my experience I'd recommend choosing another boarding company!

The best dog walking company! When I adopted my dog, Cal, about 1 year ago, I had my mind set that…read morehe was going to be in day care while I was at work, but I didn't take into account that he might not get accepted, and to my surprise, despite how loving and sweet Cal is, he did not get accepted to day care due to the fact that his puppy energy was misunderstood by the other dogs. That said, Brooklyn Tails and Trails saved the day! In fact, as it turns out, I think the dog walking is better for Cal than what day care would be. Cal also loves getting walked twice a day by PJ, who is the best dog walker ever. I think he's more like a camp counselor for dogs. Cal always has a blast and loves walking with his friends, who are all just as sweet as he is. PJ also takes great pictures of Cal and his friends, and writes the most creative captions that really capture the moment. I also think the walking covers 2 needs; (1) Cal gets the exercise he needs, and (2) he gets to socialize with other dogs. Then, in between walks, he gets to nap in his own bed, in a serene environment, as opposed to being in a chaotic environment like day care.Cal has a little anxiety since he's a rescue, so having him walk with Brooklyn Tails and Trails is so much better for him. I also love having the peace of mind that Cal is safe while I'm at work, and being taken care of, as PJ comes to walk him twice a day. I highly recommend Brooklyn Tails and Trails, and if you live in DUMBO, you'll get to have PJ walk your dog. I've also met some of the other walkers, and they are all great, so no matter which neighborhood you live in, you'll have someone reliable walking your dog.

The best part? The night we came home, my two cats were literally sitting by the front door... waiting for HER. 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!
