Pick-up on weekends is 5-6pm, and they didn't even show up to return her to them until after 6 when they arrived at 5pm. When she went, she was clean, her bowls were clean, and her blanket was freshly washed. They picked her up after a 2-night stay none of her food was gone, none of her treats were given, and her blanket had to be tossed. The blanket smelt so bad of PISS that it took could take your breath away !!! We had to take her for a bath because she smelt like she slept in a puddle of PISS !!! This place has a good rating, but it shouldn't even have a license. If you love your pet, don't take them here. They are not treated as well as the other reviews claim. I feel so sad for her she should have received the PROPER CARE.

I highly recommend their services!

I don't wish to delete my previous review because I really did have difficulty getting a response from the business, but the owner did eventually contact me. I think it was months later. She seemed very nice. She was very apologetic. She said she never noticed my phone messages or emails. The business was having technical difficulties and she assured me the problem was an aberration. I'm happy to see that the business has a better website and is doing well enough to expand to two locations. Sending my best wishes.

My 7 year-old Maltese, Frederick spent this last year being walked twice a week by several of the staff at HOTH. I receieved gracious notes, he had the opportunity to meet other dogs in the neighborhood, and I was always treated in a caring, professional, and thoughtful manner. Fred also made two stays at the Bed and Biscuit, being cared for round the clock by HOTH staff. I have NEVER boarded my dog, so leaving him with someone outside of family and close friends was a choice I made very carefully. The cost for walks and overnight stays was reasonable and something I could afford living on the very small budget of a graduate student. I always felt wonderful knowing Fred was getting some love and attention during my long days at work. I can't recommend their services enough to coworkers and friends with animals. One of the only reasons I am sad to be leaving the Albany area for a new job in St. Kitts, is not getting to work with Hounds on the Hudson!

Disorganized and cluttered place. I don't recommend the grooming services whatsoever after my…read moreexperience. ​The cramped and back room where they attempt to groom multiple dogs is far from a clean or stressfree environment. Paperwork was not given prior to appointment and important questions were not asked at all. I had a feeling in my gut to hang around for my pups first grooming experience here and I'm glad I did. Watched the camera feed to see my dog in the back room just hanging around for 15 mins before they attempted to put him on the table. He didn't react well to being in a new unfamiliar place with strangers who barely acknowledged him. Both groomers were busy with other dogs so I'm confused as to why they took my pup back if they didn't have the time or attention for him. I was happy to walk out of here before they even got to grooming my pup. I'll make sure to do more research to find a groomer that can handle anxious pups. The owner of this establishment is extremely rude and should rethink their approach to handling customers. I'm not sure how this business has lasted with such poor customer service. I'll never come back here and would tell anyone I know to not bother.​​

Before our first scheduled sit, we had a get to know you meeting with the sitter and my dog, and they were beyond helpful and eased all of my worries. They take detailed notes on the specific needs of my dog, and take the time to really understand how to best care for her. My dog has some separation anxiety, and I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm a helicopter mom, but the sitter did an amazing job looking after her and she is so happy to see them each time! At the end of each visit, they send a recap of how it went and send pictures! It's almost as detailed as a kiddo's daycare recap (I have compared haha). It makes me so happy to see my girl happy when I'm away!

Their procedure is to make your appointment for the day and keep your dog in a little cage till they get to him/her.

She was nice enough to try and help make some other suggestions but told me that her business wouldn't be a good fit for us.

It ended up being almost $500 and I got the same treatment with the manager. I explained beforehand that they had several mats due to my Won dog being disabled, and it is extremely hard to move him around and he needs to rest a lot. My other Newfoundland again was groomed beautifully. She did not need as much attention, but I was charged the same amount 250 for each dog. Yeah, that's outrageous. Finally, they have so many dogs that they're grooming. It takes them longer because they do not have enough staff. I was disappointed with the outrageous charge of the cost.
