Exceptional Dog Care Service Near Crocheron Park!…read more I can't express how happy I am to have found Doggy Do-Gooders! I've always been extremely hands-on with my dog, Kuma, a 13-year-old Pomeranian Poodle who's energetic yet reserved and a bit high-maintenance (white fur challenges, anyone?). For years, I found it difficult to trust anyone else to handle his care, but Doggy Do-Gooders completely changed my perspective. I discovered them through a friend's recommendation, and I was surprised to learn how conveniently located they are near Crocheron Park in Bayside. Their team--particularly Jason and Alix--has been fantastic. They come directly to us, which makes everything so seamless, and their care and attention to Kuma make them feel like part of the family. The service is incredibly personable. Jason has an almost intuitive understanding of Kuma's needs, from walking to overall handling, which gives me such peace of mind. They've even managed to work with Kuma's quirky reserved nature while ensuring he gets the exercise and engagement he needs. What I love most is their reliability and professionalism. They're always punctual, communicate well, and even send updates during walks (sometimes with adorable photos of Kuma!). These small touches make a huge difference, especially for someone like me who's always been cautious about delegating my dog's care. Doggy Do-Gooders is a true diamond in the rough. I wasn't able to find them on Google, but that makes them feel even more like a hidden gem. If you're in the Bayside area and looking for trustworthy, caring, and professional dog walkers, I can't recommend them enough. Kuma and I are so grateful for their service--it's been life-changing! If you want peace of mind and top-notch care for your pup, don't hesitate to reach out to them. They've completely exceeded my expectations!

I cannot believe this company. How unprofessional. My vet gave me this family's information for cat…read moresitting while we're away on vacation for 2 weeks. We contacted them 3 months ago, and they confirmed they can provide the services. I have a friendly confirmation via email from the owner's wife. I called to confirm our in-home appt now 2 weeks before we leave. They were supposed to meet the cats at our home and take the house key. The owner is driving to my house the morning of our appointment, he gets lost and ends up in Hillside in Queens somewhere near the LIE. He calls me 5 mins before the appt to advise me he was confused and doesn't service my area. AFTER THREE MONTHS now you check the address and you go back on your promise and confirmation. Nice, What kind of business is this? Now my cats are left with no care thanks to them. Maybe they're getting old and heartless but you don't do that to people. We leave on vacation with the family and friends and now we have no one to care for our cats. I will make sure to let everyone know that is referring your company how horrible you are. The customer is always right. You should have provided the service anyway.

Our dog Dexter loves Shelly. He's been walked by her for quite a long time now (he's the b/w Shih…read moreTsu in some of the pictures). Being a Shih Tsu, he's dopey and lazy as they get. It seems the only time he's waking up is when Shelly gets him for his walk. After that, he's exhausted, and I can only assume that before that, he's saving up his energy for playtime. I can understand why as she takes him to awesome places. Quite often, the beach. So Dexter loves her more than anyone else. Shelly has solid training, so I never have to worry about her being irresponsible, and she knows what to do in case of disasters. She also make sure the pack goes well together, so I can be confident that Dexter's hanging out with only nice dogs. Finally, since Dexter doesn't seem to care how he looks or smells, Shelly does it for him. She towels him off after the walk so that he's not carrying too much sand and random dirt into our place. Oh. And, before I forget, Shelly regularly posts pictures and even videos to facebook, so I can watch Dexter having tons of fun when I get too bored at work. Which is not quite as good as having him here, but I know that Dexter prefers his walks.

Michelle is unreliable, dishonest and doesn't care about or love dogs at all…read more After learning that she didn't walk our dog, who was left for 12 hours alone in our apartment as she didn't inform us, I quickly replaced her. I don't know how many times she didn't walk my dog without me knowing.. a dog lover wouldn't knowingly leave a dog locked in without even informing the owner. Not to mention getting payment for a service she didn't perform. She didn't even come up with an excuse other then 'I didn't get to your dog' - WTH! I'll be happy to share the email if anyone's interested. If you care about your dog, find a reliable walker. The women can't be trusted!

Highly recommend because paperwork, shots, and carrying case was all included with the purchase of the dog. More than likely going to get another dog when I move into a bigger place!

I called her many times (early...late...you name it) and she ALWAYS responded with efficiency, care, concern and love.

On super short notice, she let me borrow her personal cone and even came to my doorstep at 10pm to give Thea one last check. I know I can count on her anytime.

When hitting reply all goes wrong…read more... I already felt this woman was judging me based on my appearance & by appearance I mean being BLACK. This is one of the reasons why a lot of ppl choose to buy dogs because adoption discrimination happens with pets too. I was 100% truthful on the application & left nothing out. I met the dog I wanted & absolutely fell in love with her, but the whole time I got the sense this woman did not want me to have the dog. She mentioned all these things that it felt like she was trying to sway my desire to get a dog but I brushed it off & told myself she just really cares about these animals. I emailed Barbara Fox who apparently makes the final decision to let her know I was interested, 3 days went by & I heard nothing. It wasn't until I sent another email that I received a response saying many ppl were interested in the dog & they will make their decision soon. Only 10 minutes later I received another email (by mistake) from the foster Rhoda Glass assassinating my character. The woman completely lied about the interaction that happened in her tiny apt where she had 5 dogs including the dog I was interested in. These ppl can hide behind the excuse that they care about an animals welfare when in fact they're just bigots. *see email in pictures*

I saw at least three veterinarians there for months and paid for care. My pet declined after all…read morethat, instead of getting better. You left for the holiday weekend and provided a hospital in Suffolk County. You did not provide a diagnosis and an actual treatment plan. If you did, email it to me. Perhaps you should not "ramble" in inefficient care with several doctors there, and actually be competent to do your job. I did not pay at Blue Pearl because she was very thin. The CPR would have caused her pain and would not have meant she would live long, or at all, based on your inadequate treatment. And yes, the CPR is expensive. When you go to a veterinarian and see several of them in a "hospital," you expect a thorough diagnosis and treatment. The only responsibility I have is not following my intuition and taking her elsewhere. Yes, I do think veterinarians' often exorbitant bills leading owners to euthanize pets (when they can chip in for patients coming there for years) is immoral. I have more than enough funds for my present cat, but if you paid me millions of dollars, I would not bring her there. I read several reviews where bills were outrageous with no or the wrong diagnosis rendered. To Hernandez: Rather than ramble on talking down to people you think have less money than you do, focus on why after at least $2000 and three veterinarians later, I had nothing close to a definitive diagnosis or treatment. My cat had severe diarrhea with a voracious appetite. Clearly, her capillaries were not absorbing nutrients. from her small intestine. Did you find the etiology? You had blood and stool tests, and at least one ultrasound. Your solution was a duck and venison diet for three months, and go to emergency care [because you are incompetent]. She died before that. You should have been closed years ago after a thorough investigation, and look forward to the day you will be closed. What comes around goes around, and pets are children, so be wary.

I have been going to this place for a decade and have had many animals cared for here. Over the…read morecourse of the last 7 years I had a dog who developed diabetes and died a year and a half after diagnosis and my dog now has addisons disease. I have spent well over 50,000k there just for those two dogs alone. I brought my dog there for some bloodwork because I suspected he had diabetes and was right around the corner. It was a Sunday. The vet who was there at the time was in a rush to leave cause they closed at 3. Even though I brought him in hours before closing, he wasn't cooperating on giving blood because he was scared to death. Needless to say, she called me and told me to come pick up my dog because he was being a bad boy and since they were closing they would have to try again tomorrow. I should have went somewhere else at that point just for her attitude alone but I didnt. By the next morning he went into keto acidosis and I rushed him there without even calling and another vet took his lethargic body into to the back room. I was then informed of their estimate which was $4000 and in order for them to even examine him I would have to give them $1000 deposit to do any kind of work on him. I was so upset and angry because I literally could not take him somewhere else because he would have died. I gave them the grand and waited to hear the worst. Of course he had diabetes but the vet who's name I wont mention did save him from dying and took over his care. She was very good with him and she did the best she could until he died of acute pancreatitis a year and a half later, even though he was well regulated on his insulin and diet. In that time I was billed $31000 total. Which i paid in full. Then I got another dog and started to bring her there. And all was good with her the first 2 years until she developed addisons disease. Over the course of the last two years I have been billed ridiculous amounts of money for all kinds of tests, and even the follow up visits after the tests. These last few months I can't get any straight answers as to what is happening with her and they keep jamming me up with more tests. Oh and basically blaming me for her being over weight even though she is on steroids every single day and an additional shot of steroids once a month. She literally only eats a half a can of weight management food per day. 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 at night. Practically nothing!! In the past 2 months its cost me over 2000k. Im done. I went to another vet today 2 towns over and was charged a third of what bellerose charges for the same exact tests. Never again. The compassion you think you're seeing there, is to get you to spend all of your money. And God forbid you question it, they try to make you feel guilty for not caring enough for your pet because you can't afford their ridiculous fees. The vaccinations are ridiculously priced as well. I stayed out of convenience because of the close proximity to my house. No more. Id rather drive 100 miles than to be as over charged as ive been there.
