Jon and his team are amazing. Our dog can't wait to go with him everyday and comes home happy and tired. It is great value in terms of both dog exercise, care, and kindness. The communication is great and the app is easy to use to set up and pay for care. In addition, Jon is a super person who is always willing to help - we could not be happier that we found Zen Dog Trek on Yelp. 5 stars are not enough to show how we feel about their service. read more

We have been working with Zen dog for four years. Jon is amazing with our two dogs. Rain, shine, snow or storm, Jon is there five days a week to take our dogs on their daily trek. This is not just a walk, it is hour long hike with other dogs. Our dogs come home happy and tired! During the trek, Jon sends us pictures as we can see how they are doing. The best part is they have daily opportunities to socialize with other dogs and people. As a result, our dogs are so well socialized, they transition to multiple new setting and easily adjust to new people and other pets. As we return to in person work, this service is indispensable to our family and to our pups. As someone who has used this service regularly for years, I wholeheartedly recommend Jon and Zen Dog. Zen dog is one of the best kept secrets in Westchester for dog owners! read more

I have been working with Zen Dog Pet Care for about two months now. Priscilla walks my puppy Hudson. My boyfriend and I live in an apartment in Bronxville. Jon, the President, is amazing at meeting our scheduling needs and always does his best to help us. Priscilla is extremely kind, caring and dedicated. I can always get in touch with her, count on her to send me daily reports and trust her to make any changes we need. Hudson loves her and we are so happy to have her. Jon is also an amazing trainer and has helped us train Hudson, which has been incredible. Additionally, the Pet Alert system with GPS and notes is amazing. I can only say good things about Zen Dog Pet Care. read more

One of the best dog walking companies I've ever used. Friendly people and very reliable... they worth absolutely worth every dime. I would HIGHLY recommend Zen Dog Pet Care!!!!! read more

We have been extremely pleased with our Zen Dog service. We have tried both the monthly dog walking and the half day trek and play. Paula did our daily walks and she was reliable and communicative. The trek and play is awesome! Our dog goes to the dog park for half the day and we come home to a happy, well exercised pup. It also helped condition him to the car, which was such a relief, as before he was afraid of the car and would sometimes get car sick. Thankfully, those days are over and he happily hops in the car now. Zen Dog has been flexible and accommodating with our changing schedules this summer and the Pet Cloud updates have offered peace of mind when we are away or at work. I highly recommend this service! read more

We have been using Zen Dog for years - Our Shiba Inu (not the easiest of breeds) Chewie, absolutely loves Mikaela and she is fantastic with him! Highly recommended! read more

Its fine as long as the there is no issue. I set up an appointment for him to meet our dog on Sep 16th @ 11am. Sure enough, Sunday comes around and no jon. I sat around for an hour waiting for him, and after no phone call or email, I went about my day. Finally when i got hold of him on the phone he was really defensive and will not own up to any issues Poor communication skills and unprofessional. I would never trust my dog with this man or "company." read more

We've been a Zen Dog customer for over six months and just got our second puppy, Mookie. Jon has been great with Mookie and offering advice on how to get through the difficult housebreaking etc. Couldn't imagine having our dogs without Zen Dog and Jon. read more

We used Zen Dog for about a year. I was not happy with them for multiple reasons. They are extremely expensive, over $1100 monthly for "full day" off leash walks. "Full day" to them is on average 10:30am pick up to around 3:30pm drop off. During the time we used them, they apparently had another dog on their off-leash walks who sounded small and not physically active from their description, so my large active dog frequently did not get adequate exercise, and was full of energy at the end of the day. Jon, the owner, told me that "(the other dog) would die if we were any more active" that was his reasoning for my dog not getting the activity I was paying for! My dog ended up gaining a tremendous amount of weight the year we used Zen Dogs. They used a GPS mapping service for walks for "accountability" but during the entire year i couldnt get it to work. Jon's wife Nicole frequently takes the dogs out. She is friendly up front, but the minute you have an issue to discuss, she gets angry, seriously nasty and unprofessional. Jon is more professional, but hands a lot of management over to Nicole, who is truly awful. If there is one hint of inclement weather Nicole will cancel your walk - never mind if *you* have to go to work, she doesn't! - and you're screwed. Very unreliable. Forget about getting any money back. We stopped using them over six months ago when we moved. Nicole told me on a Thursday that the next day, Friday, was our last walk, so i was scrambling last minute to find another walking arrangement. I work full time and needed a stool sample for the next arrangement. Nicole refused to get it, stating that she went to vet tech school and she knows that stool samples need to be fresh, not a day old. I couldn't believe how unhelpful she was being. When I begged her to collect the sample, that less than 24h wouldn't be an issue, that I have never had a vet complain about stool samples I provided, she texted, "(my name) are we having a problem??" She was so rude and unprofessional, and it continued to bother me even after I stopped their services. I wasn't going to leave a review, but even after six months I still feel ripped off by them, and Nicole's behavior was consistently awful. If you are considering using their services, I feel you should know about my experience with them. Seems like many others have also had issues with their lack of professionalism. I do want to add that my dog adored Jon. read more

Zen Dog took great care of my dog on both her walks, and then her Trek & Plays. With the daily updates in the app, I was kept up to date on how well my pup was doing and how happy she clearly was playing with the other dogs. Her dog walker, Angelica, was very patient with all of her idiosyncrasies, and I know my dog will miss her! read more

I have been using Zendog for a year now for daily midday walks for my miniature pinscher. While we were new to the area moving to Westchester from Chicago, everyone at Zendog has been great at providing us with local information including an excellent vet. Roxie is a furry child to me and every day I am confident she is in great hands with humans who love her as much as I do! Just as life goes, there have been the trials and last minute happenings for which the Zendog team have always been there. Jon and Nicole run a great business and have a warm, welcoming philosophy and understand their priority are the pet clients as much as the human ones. I appreciate that since that is what I'm looking for, handle me well, but handle my dog better :) I would highly recommend their services and my dog gives them two paws up as well. read more

Hands down the greatest dog walking experience we've ever had. Our Pippa was with them for two years and came back every day exhausted and content. The walkers are professional and truly love animals. We're so sad to end our sessions but we're going down to one income and unfortunately the dog walking had to get cut. I cannot recommend them enough though - your dog will be well cared for and so happy! read more

Awesome! I use them for cat sitting when I travel for work. They have great communication skills so I know when they are with the cats and then they send an email informing me of the well-being of the cats and my home. This is a wonderful resource to have. I depend on them and they have never failed me. read more

We recently moved to White Plains from Philadelphia and we've been using Zen Dog for a little over a month now and we're thrilled. David walks our 4 year old English Bulldog (Benny) once a day while we're at work. The daily photos and updates through the app are great - we treat Benny like he's our child and it's so nice not having to worry about him because it's clear David really loves and cares for him when we're not around. Highly recommend. read more

I had a good working relationship with Zen Dog but always had issues with their billing. Their had their billing system tampered with by an employee and lost the history. I went through my records and gave them the information so they could bill me for the six months I had not received a bill. I received a billing on Thursday and on Monday received an email from them asking why the payment hadn't been made yet. I was taken back that after basically recreating the information they needed to bill me, they were now asking for payment four days after my receipt. I should also mention that I had received a cancer diagnosis the previous day and had my mind otherwise occupied. The situation went down hill from there and we mutually agreed to termiinate service. It's too bad they got so defensive and angry. Also they refused to return my key - so paid $425 to locksmith. A good company with owners that did a good job but needed to lose the attitudes. I was a good client - but found out there are other equally good companies. read more

Wonderful dog care! Dependable, responsible, experienced dog walkers. Highly recommend their services. My beagle Daisy looks forward to her daily trists with her fellow furry friends. Reasonable pricing too! read more

Zen Dog Life has been a life changer for my husband and I. Our former dog walker quit on a Friday evening and Jon at Zen Dog Life swooped in to make an extremely stressful situation easy. He had our meet and greet set up within an hour of me calling him. My husband and I are gone for 12 hours a day for work and were extremely nervous about leaving our new dog without any idea of what was going on while we were gone. Alex, our dog walker, is always available throughout the day if needed. The app that Zen Dog Life uses allows us to see pictures of our little baby, as well as a blurb of how she did that day, AND a GPS map of the walk they went on! They also post pictures of our dog on instagram! Alex also has helped us consistently with tips and tricks on how to care for our dog. He even checks in on our dog on weekends! It is abundantly evident how much he is invested in the well-being of our dog. My husband live and breathe for our dog, and we were searching for a company and dog walker that would be just as invested in her as we are. We could not have asked for a better company. I would highly recommend any dog owner to reach out to Zen Dog Life. read more

we love zen dog! they are professional, responsive, friendly and above all, they really care about their four-legged clients (and human counterparts). they send immediate notifications when your dog walker arrives and leaves, a map showing the route they walk, and notes about the walk (including a "business report" and any other feedback). even pictures and videos of your dog in action. several of our neighbors have spontaneously told us how great they are with our dog. :)! zen dog is the best! read more
