5 stars does not do Farrah justice. She deserves an infinite amount of Yelp stars…read more Farrah has been our dog walker for 3 years. She is one of the most dependable and nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. She is also a kick ass dog walker/sitter! Long weekend? Short notice? Week long vacation? Farrah never once turned down a job in the three years she worked with us. She never missed a scheduled walk either. If anything came up she would find coverage for you. My wife and I never had to worry! She spoiled us beyond belief. Most importantly though, our dogs absolutely LOVE Farrah. We are moving away from Astoria, so we will need to find a new walker. We will never take for granted how amazing Farrah has been these last few years, as no dog walker could compare. She set the bar impossibly high. Thank you for everything Farrah! We will miss you and so will Franky and Charlie, more than you know!

Ok, so there is what I observed and then what my kitten Marbles told me to type down. Ill go with…read moreme first. It's extremely difficult for me and my family to leave our precious scottish fold home alone and even harder to trust someone with our apartment keys. Word of mouth and references (yelp basically) is the only feasable way to know for sure so I yelped away and found that Farrah was at the top of her game. One after another, people are happy with her so I said if I have no choice but to trust someone with my apartment keys and to take care of our little guy, she's definately the one. Basically if everyone loves her and uses her, its someone you can trust. Now what cat marbles said about her: As you all are well aware, a cat of my pedigree and breed (scottish fold) dares not venture to a boarding place for they are all incompetent and beneath me! With that said, Farrah was a darling who came and fed me twice a day for 3 days, and played with me with endearing love. I know this because my human masters showed me daily pics of me they received from Farrah showing me happy and playful. I yearn for her again and await the next family trip where she can watch me again in the comfort of my own environment...

During our chats, I always listened more than talked which is not supper common to my verbal exchanges. His knowledge base is not just that of the Raw Diet, but everything dog related.

He's walked my a few of my neighbors dogs in Forest Hills and his timeliness and attention to each dogs needs is second to none.

She was attentive to all the details, including how to administer Mia's daily heart medication. She sent me daily updates and pictures and was very responsive to any questions. My usually shy cat cuddled, purred, and loved on her within a few days. Elena wasn't in a rush and gave Mia all the love and care she wanted. I came home to a calm and content cat. The entire process was seamless and Elena was accommodating and flexible. Her dedication and love for animals is evident and I would highly recommend her. Thanks, Elena!

I always get super fast responses through email so I'm comfortable knowing that they're readily available in case of an emergency. In case Rusty chewed up anything (he's 7 months old, you know how it goes) they helped clean it up and were totally transparent about it! They even replen his water bowl, etc. My Rusty always looks forward to his daily small group walks and I rest easy at work knowing that he's in great hands. The rates are also incredible- the quality for the amazing price ($12 for a small group walk, $22 for private!!) is unbeatable. 10/10 stars isn't enough!!

Used their services regularly for our rescue mutt for about a year (2021-22). At first, Carole the…read moremanager was very responsive and helpful over email and our dog seemed happy with the walker, Darrel. The service we agreed upon was for Darrel to walk our dog and then put out his food and fresh water for him before leaving. There were frequent problems-- small at first-- with following the instructions. Darrel would forget to refill the water dish or would not close the refrigerator after feeding the dog (the dog food is in there). Each time we communicated the problem to Carole, she would tell us she'd remind Darrel but the problems continued. Once or twice, Darrel left our apartment door unlocked after walking the dog and bringing him home (luckily nothing bad happened). The final straw was that Darrel forgot to feed the dog a couple of weeks ago. We reached out to Carole to address the issue, which to us represented an escalating pattern of inadequate care for our dog and disregard of our simple instructions. Her response was that she "didn't like the tone" of our email, said that feeding and not charging extra for it was "doing a favor"-- charging extra to feed the dog was never something that was mentioned to us AT ALL throughout the course of the year we were using their services-- and proceeded to say she would no longer work with us. No apology, no attempts to make things right-- just an unwillingness to take feedback and accept responsibility when something that jeopardized the well-being of our dog happened on their watch. We have moved on to another walking company and are much happier with their services and willingness to communicate. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of zero is because these mistakes didn't happen every time our dog was walked and there were some weeks throughout the year where everything went according to plan. Would very much recommend against using this small business since they don't take responsibility for their mistakes, don't respond effectively to requests to correct them, and simply terminate their working relationship when you point out flaws in their service.
