Pet Boarding Training near Hoboken

“We recently used Dogboken’s overnight dog sitting service for our 5 month old puppy and had a wonderful experience. Leaving our young puppy overnight was nerve wracking to me, but the team made us feel completely at ease. They were caring, attentive, and treated him like one of their own. We received updates while we were away, and our pup came home happy and cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Dogboken again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight care for their dog.“

“Writing this review for both myself and Lucca ( my fur child), we cannot thank Joseph with K9 Starr training enough. He not only brings a great vast understanding of dog's mindset, behavior, and progression, Joseph is patient, honest and very eager to solve any issues you bring him regarding your four-legged friend.

Lucca, my fur pal, is 6yr old 70 lbs rescue presented with severe reactivity and obedience issues that grew worse and worse with his age. Before training with Joseph, Lucca and I's walks would be bring us both a lot of anxiety not knowing if Lucca would completely loose his mind, barking with force and pulling in any dog's direction. The breaking point occurred in line at a coffee shop. Lucca saw a fellow dog in line and freaked out and in the process of reeling him back in/ calming him down - I broke my finger - then needing surgery.

Joseph broke down the training basics and obedience skills not only instructing and training Lucca, but myself , as a dog owner as well. With constant practice and communication with Joseph over our 3 training sessions, Lucca has 180 'ed his behavior. His obedience is at a level I honestly never thought I would ever reach with Lucca. Lucca and I walks have become more enjoyable and less stressful for the both of us. We have frequented the same coffee shop where the finger incident occurred- and Lucca is able to sit my side while I drink a large cup of coffee- totally calm and unreactive towards dog and people!! -Truly amazing!

As dog parents- of course we love our fur children unconditionally, but with this training and unlocked new Happier relationship with Lucca - we are able to enjoy our company together so much more as owner and best fur pal.

If you have a dog, that has any issue, I hope this review further encourages you to reach out to K9 Starr dog training.

“I feel very lucky to have found Pawsability. Every single person there is wonderful and I truly know my dog, Tugboat, is taken care of while in their care. They are accommodating and make notes about specific needs. Nothing better than your dog being excited to go to daycare. Can't recommend them enough for daycare and grooming.“

“Love Boxer & Dane! Extremely clean, friendly staff, and love how excited Paulie gets when I pull up to the building. Definitely recommend bringing your dog here!“

“Very happy with the care & service we receive - long time customer and hope to continue working with Riverside for years to come!“

“My dog Winston loves daycare at Paws in Chelsea! He has separation anxiety and they make sure to make him comfortable while he adjusts after drop off. He comes home happy and tuckered out from all the fun play time :)“

“I just have the courage to write a review about my Muffy experience at Puppy University!

Muffy was a client at Puppy University for two years while she was in town, and I truly cannot say enough about this place. They absolutely doted on Muffin and treated her like royalty.

The owner was always accommodating to our schedule, especially since we traveled often, and was very attentive—always asking detailed questions about Muffin’s health if he hadn’t seen her in a while. I never felt any anxiety dropping Muffin off, which says a lot.

One of the things that stood out most to me was their professionalism. At one point, Muffin had missed one of her shots, and as much as they loved her, they were firm in saying they could not take her. I respected that completely—it showed they were running a business that prioritizes the health and safety of all dogs.

I am so glad that my Muffy was part of their tribe. Muffin was the cutest Yorkie—she was sassy, full of personality, and lived a beautiful life, passing away at the age of 17.

I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and professional environment for their pet.“

“I've been taking my little Walnut here since we moved to the city around 6 months ago (started around when he was a little over 1yo) and could not be happier with how the daycare, pickup/dropoff, and walking services have been. My work schedule is variable and PupCulture has been a lifesaver to take care of Walnut when I'm not at home.

We have been doing daycare with occasional pickup (which has been seamless as I live right above the Pupculture) and walks since the summer and the whole team is always great to interact with and so caring to him. They're super understanding for the occasional last-minute request and are very consistent. They send the cutest pictures for walks/pickups/daycare. I'm very glad to have them.“

“Omg not only he’s professional my dog looks amazing I got so many compliments he also gave me health advice and told me issues my dog had off eye. I will be a loyal customer from here on out my dog even looks happier yeah y’all see his muscles ?“

“The Dog Institute is truly exceptional. From the moment I first spoke with Elizabeth, the owner, I knew we had found the right place to support us after bringing home our American Shepherd puppy, Ruby. In that very first phone conversation, Elizabeth could hear the uneasiness in my voice. I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed about doing everything right to raise our puppy well and give her a great life. Elizabeth immediately put me at ease with her calm, thoughtful approach and clear depth of experience.

Since then, The Dog Institute has been an incredible resource for us. Ruby attends Play & Train regularly, and it’s easily her favorite thing in the world. The staff are fantastic: friendly, attentive, and clearly very experienced with a wide range of dogs and personalities. It’s such a positive, well-run environment, and we always feel confident knowing Ruby is spending time with such a great group of people and dogs.

We also work with Elizabeth for Ruby’s 1:1 training sessions. Her knowledge and experience really shine in how clearly and effectively she teaches both dogs and their owners. The sessions are practical, approachable, and incredibly effective. Ruby soaked up her early lessons and quickly grew into a confident, well-behaved puppy thanks to Elizabeth’s guidance.

We feel so lucky to have found The Dog Institute and are incredibly grateful for Elizabeth and the entire team. We’re excited to continue working with them as Ruby grows.“

“Kramer’s daycare evaluation “audition” at 33 Bond was only a few hours, but he seemed to have a great time! He enjoyed meeting new friends and had lots of fun playing with them. As his hooman, it’s just as important that I feel good about leaving my boy in a new place and the staff made me feel comfortable and confident that he was in good hands. The space has a good vibe and although we don’t currently have a need for daily daycare, we look forward to returning as a recurring guest!“

“Fido Fidelis has truly made me a better person and a better dog owner—this review is long overdue. It’s a long one, but worth the read.

We started working with Fido Fidelis in 2022, and Pete has been training our dogs for nearly four years. His specialty is working with “challenging” dogs—those who are human-reactive, dog-reactive, struggle with separation anxiety, and more. Simply put, he is the best in the business.

Pete is fantastic with puppy training and general behavior work. He helped train our blue heeler/schnauzer mix puppy in just two weeks and played a crucial role in helping our high-energy pup successfully integrate into our family. But his impact didn’t stop there.

Our older dog, Rio (a pit mix), had a difficult past—she was attacked as a puppy by a resource-guarding dog at a dog park, which made her reactive around other dogs. For over a year, we worked with Pete to help her tolerate others, knowing she didn’t need to love every dog, but needed to coexist peacefully. When we decided to rescue our second dog, Bailey, in June 2023, Pete was our very first call.

He not only refreshed Rio’s foundational training but thoughtfully used that process—alongside Bailey’s training—to help Rio understand that Bailey was a friend, not a threat. Within weeks, the two became inseparable. They now play, cuddle, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company—something we once weren’t sure was possible.

Even more impressive, Rio has begun forming positive relationships with other dogs. With Pete’s guidance, we’ve taken things slowly and intentionally, and she’s now comfortable with select dogs. We’ve even started fostering, which would have been unimaginable before working with him.

So how does Pete do it?

His approach is incredibly well-rounded. He doesn’t just train dogs—he trains owners. He uses a balanced, thoughtful methodology (including the four quadrants of training), tailoring his approach to each individual dog and household. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here—Pete meets you and your dog exactly where you are.

We’ve been through a lot with our dogs, and honestly, I don’t know where we’d be without Pete. If I could give Fido Fidelis 100 stars, I would. After four years of working together, I recommend him to everyone I meet without hesitation.“

“​I recently used Vivi’s Pet Care for cat grooming, and I highly recommend them. From the start, booking was incredibly smooth, and they were always very responsive over email. On the day of the appointment, both the receptionist and Vivi herself were friendly and professional. Before starting the service, Vivi took the time to set clear expectations, and I really appreciated her candidness. It was a great service all around!“

“Even though it has been a few years, I still think of this puppy class with gratitude. The approach was positive, modern, and compassionate, and our puppy was treated with so much patience and kindness. Jennifer was wonderful and brought such warmth to the whole experience. It was a lovely place for both puppies and people to learn, and I would absolutely recommend it.

Jennifer, if you remember us, we were the ones with the rambunctious ACD who was a face-licker. He is all grown up now (nearly 4 years old) and has become an excellent dog who's easy to live with. We cannot imagine being happier with how he turned out, and this class was an important part of that foundation.“

“One of the best boarding places we've used in the last 15 years with dogs. Thank you!“

“The young woman at the front was so jolly and nice as she serviced our dog. It's apparent that she loves her job. The results of the grooming say the same. I'll remain a loyal customer here.“

“I can't say enough about how wonderful Fur Seasons is. Everyone takes such great care of my fur baby Star. Nese, the owner, is literally a dog whisperer. Star is in love with her, Tom, Belinda, and everyone else there. Star was one of the first clients when Fur Seasons opened, and seeing her excitement whenever we pull up says it all!“

“My Cavapoo Ludo loves this place! He can’t wait to go in and pulls his leash from a block away. We love the staff and services!“

“Joel and the team at CityTails are nothing short of incredible. They go above and beyond, and treat your dog like their own. I have a small rescue that is anxious and I've noticed such a positive difference since starting to send her to CityTails. She loves the team so much and can't wait to spend the day with her CityTails family.“

“Our dog was terrified of going to the groomer after some negative experiences at other groomers. Upon picking her up from Throw me a Bone, I have never seen her happier post grooming. Not only was she happy to see me, she was incredibly affectionate with the groomer—a clear sign they had treated her gently, kindly, and with love. 10/10 would recommend.“

“My dog had a multiple dental extractions . Doctor explained the procedure and put me at ease .
Everyone I spoke to was very professional and competent . I highly recommend this clinic“

“I can’t put into words the great work done by Pawsies and the amazing staff that work there. Not only is the facility clean and safe for your furry friends the staff goes above and beyond to make sure they deliver great customer service they make sure to give the best experience for your furry friend’s. I won’t feel comfortable leaving my baby boy Kobe at any other facility. Highly recommended and thank you PAWSIES for all you do!“

“This place is incredible. By far the best in the neighborhood for grooming, daycare (with dropoff/pickup!) and boarding.“

“Really happy with this service for my five-year-old, energetic dog. The meet and greet was simple and straightforward. I get a daily update with photos after each walk, which is nice to have. Would definitely recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I was bracing for exorbitant costs for a routine mature lady cat checkup. Dr Ball was really nice, patient, and reasonable. She is also a very good educator and I think all pet parents would benefit from all her helpful advice and care. The staff, as usual, were kind and friendly. I was quite pleased with the appointment. The experience made me want to come back and have Dr Ball keep taking care of Mochi to provide the best quality of life for the cat. Thank you!“

“Easy Wag is THE BEST place to take your dog in FiDi - hands down. Our dog Barney has been going here since they opened and he is in love with the place.

The staff are great - you can tell they all truly love dogs and the owner Richie is awesome - very knowledgeable… he knows what he is doing.

If you live in FiDi and need dog daycare, you should 100% go to Easy Wag.“

“The puppy socials were so great! We also were struggling with some fear/anxiety with our puppy and Suzanne and Melissa helped us solve the problem in just two private sessions. Highly recommend!“
