Others I contacted didn't service my area or weren't taking new clients. I tried a couple of options, and they each have some pluses and minuses, but ultimately I went with Abby on Argyle and they are fantastic. The walkers are kind and considerate and seem to enjoy hanging with my pup. I get daily updates and adorable photos. The admin team is flexible with my crazy schedule and responsive. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet care!

They followed my instructions well, and checked in to clarify in instances I forgot to include feeding. The walkers are friendly and really cared about my dog. Their after visit summary often included pictures of my dog and details about what happened during the walk. Their scheduling portal is easy to navigate. I never had any major issues with them. Would definitely recommend Abby on Argyle.

He came over to meet me and Rizzo and he was great with her since she is a shy, stand offish shihtzu who was found roaming the streets alone. He has been walking her 4x a week now and always leaves notes so I know how she did and what she did on the walks! He is extremely flexible and will add or drop walks when needed. He also has some great co-workers who are also so professional and trustworthy. Phyllis came and took care of Rizzo and my cats when Dave was away and she was great. Dave is willing to go beyond the dog walk too - he also feeds my cats dinner two times a week so they aren't starved by the time I arrive home! He is an all around professional, kind man who is dedicated to his company.

He's now a playful little dog, ready to walk (most of the time) and to have fun with other dogs. As much as I'd like to take credit for his progress, I think Dave and our dog walker Phyllis have much more to do with it. Phyllis is a great dog walker. Her love for animals is obvious. She helped us get Ferdinand ready to walk with other dogs, always leaves detailed feedback if Ferdinand is more anxious than usual. She was a great support as we also welcomed our third son back home, advising us on how to behave with Ferdinand, and sharing some very helpful kid friendly videos for my two older kids so they learn to play safely with Ferdinand. Ferdinand is now very well adjusted to our family, and us to him. We feel very fortunate to have found Dave's Dog Duty to help us transition from a family with two children and no pets, to a family of three children and a dog.

They're near my house and I loved the idea of a kennel free service for my pup. Sundae stayed under their care for 12 days and had the best experience. I was able to see him on their Instagram stories and see that he was enjoying playing with the other dogs. They gave him an exit bath before we picked him up which I thought was so thoughtful! Today we brought him back for a haircut (it's been less than a week since we picked him up from boarding) and he seemed happy to be back! Plus they did a great job on the cut! I will definitely be back and recommend Brooklyn Paw House to my friends!

Bowser was nervous at first to meet her but Melissa was very patient with him, and now he loves waiting for her at the door for his daily walks. He just finished his first week of walks with Melissa and has made a couple new pack friends. Melissa sends prompt updates through their website after every walk to let you know if your pup did their business and even sends pictures of the pack. On the website, you can update all your pets' information, contact info, notes, and check the schedule too, it's so convenient. I can't recommend Melissa enough.

We've been thrilled with Melissa at Petletariat for the year-plus that she's been walking our dog…read more When our rescue puppy first arrived, we were scared and intimidated and didn't know quite what to do -- the thought of handing him over to someone else for afternoon walks was petrifying. As soon as our pup first met Melissa, we knew we had found our dogwalker. Melissa is everything you could want in a dogwalker: great with dogs (obvi), punctual, reliable, and dedicated. Her website is a breeze to use, and she almost always messages us with a report on the afternoon walk. As an added bonus, most of the walks seem to be group walks, so our dog stays social and even more active. We know he loves his walks with his buds and Melissa! We've also used her for boarding, which went extremely well. Melissa genuinely cares about the health, comfort, and happiness of the dogs she walks, and our dog likes her just as much as we do (and might prefer her to us!). If you need a dogwalker in the Ditmas area, Petletariat should be your first email or call.

I was SO happy to have found Kena & Jeffrey (and their team)/Ditmas Paws. After the initial meet and greet I felt completely at ease and confident that they could check in daily on my cat. Kena did an excellent job of caring for my somewhat skittish kitty while I was on vacation. They are pet owners themselves and I felt completely comfortable leaving my cat in their care. In addition to litter box cleaning and checking the self-feeder and waterer, Kena emailed me daily updates along with a photo of my kitty. Their website states: "We treat your pets as part of our family," and it's true. They are kind, highly qualified, professional, responsible and love animals. What more could a pet owner want in a pet caregiver? Oh, and their daily rates are very reasonable. After the meet and greet, you can schedule everything on their new/redesigned website. I highly recommend them!!

SHE IS NOT A CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER. We originally had a appointment scheduled for Thursday, but she had to cancel and suggested Saturday but I told her I was going to be at my husbands work union party. And would not be home in till at least 2 o'clock. She said to text her to let her know what a good time would be but being that our bags were in lockers because we were at a waterpark I was unable to do so. I WAS EVEN willing to compensate her for her travel time, but I never confirmed a specific time that I would be home for her to come now and now at this point she is borderline harassing me with the amount of messages she is sending and giving me an enormous attitude! she is giving me a little bit of an attitude about it.
