Pet boarding/training near Astoria

“So happy with Vivi's services and attention to detail. You can tell within seconds of meeting her that she genuinely loves what she does and will do whatever is in the best interests of the animal. This was our first time bringing our cat to a groomer, and she was super helpful in answering all of our questions. He looks (and smells!) great, and we will certainly return in the future!“

“Amazing energy, my boy is a rescue and they did great with him. Definitely where he will go from now on!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“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!“

“We absolutely love Fur Seasons. Our cavapoo Whiskey has been going there for daycare, grooming and boarding ever since he was a little puppy and he is 3.5yo now. Nese, Tom and the team are the best, they truly love and look after the dogs in their care and are just amazing people. The moment whiskey sees that blue door he goes nuts to go inside and play, it is his happy place. We don’t know what we would do without you guys!“

“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“

“my girl looked so pretty and she smelled amazing and they kept her ponytail i cant wait to take her again 🥰“

“I took my pup Cooper for a haircut and was very pleased with the grooming. The appointment was easy to book, and the front desk was very quick and responsive over email. I had a couple of pointers for the grooming, and everything was done to my satisfaction.“

“Working with Dominik has been a game-changer for our (almost) 1 year and a half Vizsla. As any Vizsla owner knows, they are incredibly high-energy and sensitive, which can make training a challenge. Dominik’s balanced, common-sense approach was exactly what we needed. He helped us establish clear boundaries and solid obedience while still respecting our pup’s unique personality. The transformation in his focus, recall, leash walking and manners is night and day. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly understands dog behavior (especially for high-drive breeds) we cannot recommend Dominik enough!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pupculture Tribeca has been a life saver for me and my dogs with separation anxiety. The employees there love dogs and are very flexible and friendly - I’ve been a few minutes late to pick up a few times and everyone is kind about it. They are reliable - open even during snow storms!! And have long hours to accommodate work schedules. The groomers also do a great job.“

“We love GoDoG and highly recommend them for dog walking and boarding. They have been walking and taking care of our dog for 8 years, since he was a puppy. Our dog loves all the walkers and when he gets to board, and looks forward to every walk. Everyone is super nice and we have total trust in them. Our dog is a handful and GoDoG minimizes all anxiety. A great part of the community.“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“I have been using Pupculture since Rocco was a pup he’s now 1 years old . The day care is great for him to socialize and he is exhausted when he comes home from all the playing . Pupculture sends me pics and videos of him through the course of his time there and clearly he is having fun . He is also groomed there and Fatima is the best . He always comes home even more handsome than when I left him .“

“Biscuit and baths at Yorkville Is Cooper’s favorite place. He loves Gianna and Ashley so much that in the mornings when I’m leaving the home and getting him into the car, he knows where he is going. Gianna shows so much love to Cooper and I’m sure that she is like that with all of the Dogs that she works with. In the mornings, when Cooper sees Ashley he goes crazy, wagging his tail and jumping. He is always happy to see her. That tells me that they show love and really care about all the dogs that they are responsible for throughout the day.
Thank you Gianna, Ashley, and the staff at biscuits and bath for what you do for Cooper and all the other dogs in your care. You are GREAT.“

“Had to leave a review for KingSpat NYC! This was my baby Rossie's very first grooming, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. She came out looking amazing and smelling like a $1,000 bill! 😍✨
Omg Josh was caring, professional, and made sure me and Rossie felt comfortable throughout the whole experience. You can tell they truly love what they do.
If you're looking for a place you can trust with your fur baby, this is the spot, y'all — 100% recommended! 🐾❤“

“I have been using Pawsability for over a year now, and they are undoubtedly the best dog care facility I have used. They exceed expectations in every category, and go above and beyond to make sure both the kiddos and parents are taken care of, while operating as a non profit which directly impacts members of the local community. A great indicator of how excellent they are is the lack of employee turnover, which is often an issue with other facilities. Not only is the daycare great, but having the onsite grooming is a game changer. I am truly grateful that Carmela and I have Pawsability.“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“
