Darlene and Tom were very professional and outlined everything during our "meet & greet" so they could get to know our pup. I discussed with them my fear of Oliver getting out (he loves to chase after squirrels, rabbits, etc.) but they put my fears to rest and told me how they would makes sure he stayed safe. They clearly love what they do and took great care of him. They even called me after his stay to check and see how he was doing. Highly recommended!

Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are for how wonderful Madeline/Happy Bark & Tails…read morewere on our wedding day. It was so important to us that our two pups be included on our big day, and Madeline made sure they were both included and so lovingly cared for. One of our pups is 15 years old and as anxious, adoring pawrents we were worried about her ability to navigate our wedding venue and the excitement of the day. Those worries quickly dissipated because Madeline cared for both our pups as if they were her own, and we effusively recommend Happy Bark & Tails to anyone who loves their pup and can't imagine their wedding day without them.

Booking the Wedding Day Dog Attendant service through Happy Bark & Tails for my 11-month-old puppy…read morewas one of the best decisions I ever made. My now-husband and I were in the midst of planning our wedding when we decided to adopt our beautiful puppy, Oreo, and we wanted to ensure that he could be a part of our wedding. Thank goodness we found Happy Bark & Tails. From our first meeting, the owner, Madeline, was informative, and caring, gave us a clear idea of what to expect on our wedding day, and took the time to answer all our questions. Every step of the way, Madeline was patient, responsive, and put us at ease. We even scheduled a meet-and-greet a few weeks before the wedding with Madeline and her husband, Gabriel, who is also a co-owner of the business. We were certain that they would not only care for Oreo but treat him like their own baby. On the day of our wedding, Madeline and Gabriel arrived at our hotel and immediately took care of Oreo. They put on his cute "best dog" scarf and bow tie and handled him while my husband and I got ready for our wedding. They walked him, fed him, played with him, helped him pose for pictures with us, and treated Oreo like family. They transported him to the venue, took him back to our hotel, and stayed with him until we got back. We couldn't have asked for a better company or people to work with! They also documented our wedding day with photos from Oreo's perspective. The gallery of photos was beautiful and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Happy Bark & Tails for all your wedding pet care needs. They were great to work with and we have already recommended them to another couple!

I used Kate to transport my cat to garden state to see a specialist and have testing. she arrived…read moreearly and texted as soon as she got there. She sent updates and pictures the entire time. She called on speaker each time the vet or a tech came into the room. the appointment ran longer then we planned and never once did she complain or ask for more money. She was sympathetic to how expensive the visit was and the outcome not being what I hoped for. She was kind and compassionate. I never felt like it was a business I more felt like I had a good friend taking my cat to the vet. She was more then wonderful.

Sal and his walkers are reliable and I love that they send a detailed text message about your pup. They usually send a photo as well which is a treat in the middle of a long work day. Sal's Pals is also extremely flexible. Although we try to keep last minute schedule changes to a minimum, things come up. Sal always found a way to walk our dog even with little notice. It's a comfort to have him and his walkers always available to help.

In my house my dog is king. And the only person I would have taking care of my dog is Heidi's…read moreHounds and Cats Too! The owner of the company is Heidi. We hired Heidi in 2009 when we needed our dog Jake to have a little companionship and a walk mid-day as he got older. He didn't like everyone, but he LOVED Heidi. Heidi treated Jake as we would, lots of attention, his walks and tons of kisses. Heidi walked Jake until 2013 when he passed at 16 1/2. Three years later, Rowan, a 2 year old lab/retriever mix, found us, and we hoped to once again find Heidi. She was our only choice. We were thrilled to hire Heidi's Hounds and Cats Too! once again and, as we predicted, Rowan LOVES Heidi too. Heidi sends pictures and updates of her daily visits which we love to receive. Heidi is reliable and flexible but most importantly treats your pets as you would. Can't get better than that! We recommend Heidi's Hounds and Cats Too! to everyone we know that has a pet.

I truly have trust issues when it comes to caring for my babies. Heidi is definitely my petsitter…read moreextraordinaire! She has been sitting for my 3 about 4 years. I was blessed to find her thru a friend. I was panicked when the sitter I used wasn't working out. My oldest Maltese who is my heart was suffering from an illness and my family had a trip planned. I was ready to cancel going but my very particular friend said I was in good hands with Heidi. I checked her reference and made my calls. I just couldn't kennel my babies. Heidi came over to meet us. It was something about her smile, the way she immediately got on the floor with my three and the tone of her voice that set me at ease. She assured me she would have no problem giving my Zoe medication 3 times a day. I hired her to do day visits and sleepovers. Oh I need to mention our Bichon was a rescue with major trust issues from being severely abused. So this job wasn't an easy one for Heidi. Heidi sent me messages during my trip which was so comforting. After a 7 day vacation I returned home to 3 very happy pups. All healthy. On regular sitting dog walking days, I get great notes when I return home. I love this lady!! It can be very quiet in my house and all I have to say is "Auntie Heidi" is coming to see you and then there is jumping and barking. They are crazy about Heidi.

They have pools for them and a large sand pit for digging. There is a very large backyard with a high fence and they are NEVER caged. They sleep on the furniture like the kings and queens they are.

Having a puppy is like having a baby. My sister adopted "Gracie" from a shelter( she's a half…read morepit/half lab) about a month ago and Gracie is awesome but she is crazy with a capital C. When my sister told me that she hired someone to walk her dog,even though she was home, to maintain her sanity, I laughed. Now, I am not laughing because I am house and dog-sitting for her. Ryan is a red-and-white checkered tube in the frothing sea of puppy insanity. He faithfully shows up 5 days a week here at 1 and 5 pm and walks Gracie, and by walk I mean he RUNS her so she is good and worked out by the time she comes back. Plus, she's a fan. You only have to murmur, "Ryan's here" and she's up and at 'em. He cages, re-cages her(as needed), and waters her according to the specifications via trainer. Not gonna be home? No prob. Leave him the key and he waters and cleans up if there's an "oopsie". Rates are EXTREMELY reasonable for the care, he's only $15 per walk/$25 for two a day. If you need a responsible/affable/awesome dog-walker you don't need to look any further! He's definitely this good, I may just consider hiring him to be my "Holly"
