Mat and The Well Heeled Dog have been taking care of my 5 year old Boston Terrier Andy Warhol since…read moreshe was a pup. The original recommendation to try Mat was through a friend that had used him for many years for his Boxer, so I knew I was in good hands. The love affair my dog developed with Mat is sort of sublime. Maybe it's his gentle caring nature, or maybe he really is a dog whisperer-- but she completely melts around him. Totally bonkers. I've never witnessed her act that way with any other human (not even me). I've always liked that The Well Heeled Dog is a small, nimble business that's been in operation for a very long time. Mat is still very much IN his business, so that difference is felt. And call me crazy, but the fact that he was Lou Reed's trusted dog walker (Yes, THAT Lou Reed) for many years is kind of amazing? (He's pretty humble so would never mention it). I can't say enough good. Whether it's walks or long global travels, I've simply never had to worry about Andy in his care. And as a dog owner who loves her girl (in possibly excessive proportions), that's worth its weight in gold.

We had a really hard time finding a dog walker we could trust with our beloved dog Zeke. When we…read morefound The Well Heeled Dog we were immediately put at ease! Mat is a true dog lover and Zeke took to him and Caroline immediately. They're both not only super nice and loving with our dog but it's also lovely when I get to see both of them! They're always on time and their walk timeframe window is much smaller than the other dog walkers we encountered. Zeke is always SO excited to see them and comes back from his walks in a fantastic mood. I really trust both of them and this has been a great experience for us! We are moving out of the city and can't imagine finding new walkers we will like and trust as much.

They administer meds and feed my senior pup, if necessary. They never charge a premium for a last minute call in, in desperation. They are always there for my boy Elvis & me. I wouldn't use anyone else. Elvis loves them and that's big. They truly enjoy what they are doing and love companion animals. It's obvious.

If I could give 10 Stars, I would! We have been working with Suzanne and Danielle for a few months…read morenow and have been amazed by what fantastic care they have been able to provide for our pup, Lincoln. I recently changed jobs and became unable to come home during lunch to feed and relieve our pup. My husband and I were nervous about leaving our "little" guy alone for 9+ hours and concerned we wouldn't be able to find someone that could handle our 1 year old, 65lb, high energy lab mix. After some searching and reading a lot of reviews were blessed to come across Paws and Claws. After just one first meeting we knew we found people that would give our pup the attention and care he deserves. They are very flexible, affordable, they provide updates and photos during their visits! If you are looking for the best for your pet family, reach out to these guys!

Our dog was found tied up in the back of a foreclosed home: abused, bone thin and, we were soon to…read morefind, people aggressive! Somewhere under a year old, he was also bursting with energy in our one bedroom Brooklyn apartment. Five years later, we have a cuddly dog who is perfect on our crowded streets with dogs and people. What Claire provided us to get there was a complete set of services based in her expertise as an animal behaviorist. She came into our home - something that requires a lot of bravery with an aggressive dog - to show us how to help build trust and loyalty and teach him (and us) essential commands. She told us in detail what his body movements meant and how to read some of his anxiety. We went to the park together to practice "come" and his self-control so that he could go off leash in the park, which he has been doing every morning in the years since. Whenever we freak out about something, Claire is responsive to our sometimes obsessive questions with effective and calming answers. She is smart, kind, and judgment free, and we have seen amazing results with our dog with her support.

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.

We came across this groomer accidently....well, Nelson (the owner) had stopped my wife while…read morewalking the dog down our street one afternoon in December and handed her a business card offering a discounted pet grooming, which happened to be very good timing as our Lab was in need of a bath and we were not overly happy with the facilities at another local groomer we had recently visited. We opted to give A+ a shot and were pleasantly surprised by the services and work Nelson did. Nelson is open 7 days a week and will accommodate most anyone's schedules. He is well educated in pet health and grooming and is by appointment only....takes in one to two dogs at a time, so that the dogs are not stressed or having issues with one another. Basically, a personal spa treatment for your pet. Ha. My mother recently brought her Soft Coated Wheaten to Nelson after not being happy with her groomer's results (for years). After one session with A+, Zoe (the Wheaten) is going to be a regular at the spa. Long story short...Go to A+ for top notch pet grooming!!
