HouseBroken has been an amazing service. I've used HouseBroken for my dog Georgia for a year, since…read moreshe was 8 weeks old. We started with the puppy visits, which then turned into 30-minute daily walks once she was old enough. I am so grateful for how responsive and timely the service is to new requests or needs. Their online scheduling system is super convenient and easy to use. Thanks to Vivian for all her work organizing and fielding my requests. And, thanks to Anthony, our dedicated dog walker for always being there for Georgia. We're sad to go (we're moving,) but I'm glad we could use this service, while we were in the neighborhood!

Posting this again because our friends mentioned they are using this service and noted that my Yelp…read morereview has mysteriously disappeared.... We used to use house broken exclusively. When using them for check-in's for cats while we were away they were fine. They would make the daily check in. However when we started using them for dog walking the service was entirely unprofessional. We had our walker cancel on us last minute twice before we stopped using them. Both times we were hours outside the city and relying on our dog being cared for so we could enjoy our day. The cancelation notice came in extremely late notice. Leaving us frantic to get back, as our dog had already been alone for 6 hours. The last time the cancelation happened the service told us the store where they house their keys closed early and they had no way to access our keys to get into our apartment. If you're going to have a third party hold the keys to your clients, and you have clients booked into the evening, better organization is needed. Both times only a shrug of an apology was offered. So yes to cat check ins absolutely no to relying on them for walks. (Or keeping accurate Yelp reviews, because I find it very suspicious my previous one has gone missing)..

The boarding service is impeccable and Leo was happy and well taken care while I was away, Pictures were taken and sent to me throughout the duration of his boarding stay which made me more at ease while apart.

The email updates post-walk are super helpful, and I love seeing pictures and where they walk on the GPS. The owner, Jess, is really easy to work with, professional, and very responsive to my calls and emails. I have a hectic work schedule, and she has always been very flexible. Usually, cancellations require 24 hours notice, but Jess is really understanding when things come up, and her inclement weather policy is great. We have had a few different walkers over the past year, but Jess has always been good at keeping me in the loop, and the walkers are all super sweet and caring towards Daisy. I would highly recommend Colorfuldogs!!

I contacted the owner Jessica the day before I needed her services since I got my dog last minute…read more Their office was closed and she still contacted me and arrangements a meet and greet. She had someone come over last minute Sunday evening to meet us and our new puppy before Monday. Also, they're the only company that puts a magnetic barcode on your refrigerator and the walker checks in with their iPhone and checks out when the walk is over. Plus, you receive an email with the check ins etc and a detailed message about the walk, pictures of your dog and gps tracking of where the dog went on their walk. I highly recommend working with Jessica and her company. Extremely professional and care for your dog!

I used Walk on the Pawside for regular walks for over a year for my dalmatian while I was at work…read more Stephanie is very professional and my dog LOVES her! Always prompt, always left a sweet elaborate note about how the walk went/how many pees and poops, and she has been very accommodating about schedule changes. My dog walker loves my dog so much and I have never had a problem with services. Stephanie also was willing to come all the way to my place even though I was outside the normal zone of servicing. She really saved my life this past year. She was also willing to do only 15 min walks for a reduced fee because I am a broke graduate student!! I highly recommend walk on the pawside!!

This review is longgg overdue. NYCPS has become the second home for the past two years, to both my…read morefur babies - Chloe and Cassy. Which is huge as I'm VERY cautious and picky about having their care in someone else's hands. But the staff at NYCPS is absolutely phenomenal. C & C attend daycare regularly and love it. They play, they socialize, they get cuddles, and by the time they're home they're exhausted I also want to say I have the two smallest dogs that attend daycare regularly, and have had 0 issues with larger dog's temperaments (if tiny dog owners had the same question/concern as me). The seasonal photoshoots have to be one of my favorite perks/services - Beth is incredible at 1) having the dogs stay calm and focused for the picture 2) creating awesome seasonal backdrops/sets 3) taking the actual pictures 4) editing them! The quality of pictures is something my friends and family always comment on. See for yourself! I've also utilized drop off services when I've been unable to pick my babies up before close and have had 0 issues as well. I really trust the staff I could say so so much more and talk about the awesome calendar, the Halloween party, and so much more, but I'd be typing forever lol. NYCPS is truly an Astoria staple and me and my fur babies truly feel part of their community. Highly recommend.

I know you're prob seeing bad reviews thinking "hopefully that wont happen" but it might. My dog was bit by another dog at this facility by a dog they knew was aggressive but since the owners claimed to give him CBD he was allowed in the facility?... They didn't offer to pay for vet bills, gave me a "discount" and checked in like 2xs via IG DM. Please look elsewhere

Jesse and his staff at Union Square Dog Walker provided absolute professionalism, steadfast…read morecommitment, and genuine concern for Sake, my Siberian husky. Sake is 12 years old and we've had countless walkers over the years, but I'm taking the time to write this review (my first review ever) because Jesse went far above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure that my dog was happy and healthy the entire week while the city was devastated by hurricane Sandy and I was stranded in Florida. Jesse and his staff were extremely reliable, trustworthy, kind, and genuinely loved my dog. I was given notice at 2am that I must be on a 6am flight to Florida...6am that morning. Departure date, October 28th. Return date, November 4th. I had four hours to mentally prepare, pack, and get myself to LGA. Added complication, I had literally just moved to Chelsea and didn't know anyone in the area that would be able to walk, feed, and possibly board Sake without knowing me or my dog and on such short notice. I sent six emails to different dog walkers in the Chelsea area at 3am on Sunday morning. By the time I landed in Palm Beach at 10:30am, Jesse, the owner of Union Square Dog Walker, was the first to respond at 7:30am. Jesse clearly understood the sense of urgency in my email and assured me that Sake would be well taken care of while I was away. What a relief!! (FYI, Chris, from D Pet Hotels in Chelsea, was the only other walker to respond to my extremely urgent email) Hurricane Sandy ended up making landfall in NYC while I was away and the city went into shutdown mode, leaving me stranded in Florida for seven days. Naturally, I was worried about how Jesse would be able to care for Sake (we live 21 floors above street level) with no power and elevator service, suspended means of transportation, and in the midst of an extremely dangerous hurricane. Fortunately, Jesse proved his commitment and reliability - he took Sake out of the city to a safe home in Brooklyn, where the power wasn't affected and the storm caused little damage. Throughout the traumatic storm and following chaotic days, it was virtually impossible to place or receive phone calls and send emails in Manhattan, but Jesse had the smarts to figure out how to contact me by cell, text, and email every single day to reassure me that Sake was doing great. They went to the dog park 3-4 times every day, he purchased Sake's favorite food and treats, and spent 24 hours a day with him, so he wouldn't be frightened by the noisy winds and rain. Jesse's constant updates were directly responsible for lowering my blood pressure and thwarting panic-induced heart failure...and I'm a healthy 34 yr old guy! I can't thank you enough, Jesse!! Sincerely, -Tristan

I found USDW via Lifebooker. I don't have enough good things to say about Jesse and Amanda. Amanda…read morehas been walking my 3yo pug Charlie and has gone above and beyond with him. She always lets me know how he did that day and when he was sick she even saved a stool sample for me (I know that's a bit TMI, but just shows you how willing they are to help in any way they can). Its been so hot and little Charlie doesn't last too long so if the walk doesn't last 30min, Amanda plays with him indoors. USDW genuinely cares. They respond to my texts within minutes and have always been able to help with all my many special requests. The prices for the impeccable service they provide is probably the best in the city. I never worry with like I did with my old service. Jesse his team are incredible and I am so happy to have found them!

This is my ever first Yelp review! I can't say enough…read moreabout the service at MixyPaws. First off, Kate and Ethan are extremely professional and reliable. They've responded immediately to any request or last minute "emergency" I've had whether it be that I'm running home late due to a work obligation or just a general question on how I should get my puppy to relax when I leave for work. Having a new puppy in the city is hard but, Kate came to my apartment to sit with me and get a sense of what I wanted/needed from their services and I trusted her right away and knew I made the right choice. Ethan also came to my apartment himself to help me learn basic training commands for Ricky (he learned his name right away) he also spent the next week with Ricky personally to make sure he was ready to be handed off to one of their amazing dog walkers. Ricky is currently taking walks with Andres and he's great, he really loves my little man and wants to make sure he's taken care of while I'm away. He always leaves me a post-visit detailed note about the time he spent with Ricky and I can text him any time I have a question. I highly recommend MixyPaws to anyone in the city who has a busy schedule and wants their furry friend cared for by people who truly love them.
