If you're a dog lover you know how difficult it is to leave your dog with anyone. However, Joel &…read moreAudrey are the exception to the rule. We've been comfortably using their service for years. We've never had an issue other than our boys expecting to have the same fun when they get home! As another reviewer said, the daily contact they provide sets our minds at ease, allowing us to enjoy our vacation fully. There are plenty of places closer to home but we travel the extra 40 minutes to have that kind of peace of mind. Without hesitation we recommend Aunt Aud's Sit, Stay & Play!!

I met Joe in Oceanside over a year ago.. I was waiting for a client we spoke while he was walking…read morea dog. He explained that the dog wasn't his, but that he and his wife Audrey were pet sitters. I was so impressed with his caring nature for a dog that wasn't his that I held onto his card. Fast forward a year later, I was called to go to a real estate conference out of town for several days and needed a sitter for my fur baby Darwin, a chihuahua mix, I instinctively called Aunt Aud's. Darwin and I went to Audrey and Joe's home to meet them in person. I felt comfortable leaving Darwin in Audrey and Joe's care. I received daily pictures of Darwin. He was so happy there. I was confident that he was in good hands. I came home a day early and offered to pay for Darwin because I had committed to an extra day of care and Audrey insisted that I NOT pay her. So beyond the excellent care my dog received, I can tell you that Audrey and Joe are the most sincere and caring and honest people you will meet!!!!

We did it! My pup Maxx, a black lab mix, is now trained to walk beside me like a gentleman. There's…read moreno stress for me, on walking him. He listens to every command I say. We accomplished everything I ever wanted from dog training. From the moment that I met James, I knew we were in good hands. He was patient and my pup listened to him 100%, from day one! Besides nicely walking alongside of me, he also doesn't jump on people or counters anymore. He taught Maxx several other things like stay in a spot, and walk away. That I think we need a bit more practice, but I know Maxx will ace it one day. James did training both inside and outside the house. I also told James, that I will continue from time to time to call him for refresher classes or to work on the stay in one spot. I am sure there are more things that Maxx can learn and James is the best person to teach him. James is also very accommodating to your schedule. He makes it work all the time. Thank you for everything James. You are truly the best! Your friends, The Diehl Family and Maxx

Having recently adopted an 8 week old puppy, we were able to EASILY introduce our old pup to our new one, and so far, they are getting along famously. James- I don't know if you remember how "unsettled" Maddie was when we started our training, but I thought you'd like to see her all cool and casual with our new baby, Franklin. We couldn't have done it without your help and are furever grateful. - Nicole & Sam

I've been using Beach Buds Doggy Daycare consistently for about 4 months now. My girl has…read moreattachment issues but is typically happier with other dogs. Coming in here, she definitely wasn't the easiest one to work with....and still isn't. She won't typically go potty inside because she's afraid of getting in trouble but is also picky about where she goes potty outside. She also loves to sit in the window and watch for when I come to get her, but of course then she doesn't gain much from the daycare experience. My dog is just plain NEEDY. In the beginning, she didn't seem to engage too much with the other dogs, maybe only briefly. But now that she's had about 15 days total there, she's got her friends. From my point of view, it took her 10 days of going before she learned to love it, she's always a hard sell when it doesn't involve mommy. Now she runs to the door to go inside, no second thoughts about going in. I know she clearly really loves the owner, Derek, which isn't a very easy thing for her to do. Most of the other workers are caring and friendly, I've seen some that pull a little too much on her collar, but it's a bit more rare. I love the options of 7-7, so if I have longer work days I won't feel guilty if she is there maybe 10 hours or more. Drop off and pick up are pretty easy, parking can be difficult in the evening of course. While, yes, they do not have a large space nor a large yard, I know my girl gets a lot from doggy day care. She comes home absolutely pooped from her day, she's better about going potty at the daycare (sometimes she still holds it), and she continues to have positive interactions with dogs of all sizes. I think it's important that small and large dogs spend time together so they can learn the dynamics of greeting, playing, or just being present together under supervised care. The website for booking is easy to use and you get an email reminder on the day you have a reservation. Aside from the cameras where you can stare at your dog for all too long, you can also follow their Instagram or facebook for some sweet shots of your pups while you're at work. Maybe one day they could end up with a larger location, but overall, I think there's a lot for a pup to gain here...as well as the owner. Nothing like having a free evening not having to walk your pup!

I drop off My Sergeant (5 month old rescue puppy) before work. I get to check in on him all day via the live cam. I watch him playing with his friends & seeing that the employees really enjoy the dogs. Watching to make sure everyone is happy. When I see my puppy playing with confidence & socializing with all dogs big and small. I feel so proud. He is happy & well exercised. My nights after doggie daycare are more calm & I get to really enjoy my great puppy who has just had the best day!!!! PS They even have drop off service. It rocks !!!!

Meet Althea 2.0. A federally protected beast of a service dog. Thanks to @k9u_ny for doing such an…read moreincredible job training her into the super dog she is today. Couldn't be more proud of this pup. 6 weeks ago she was everything to me but was also very tough to manage. She was the sweetest dog 1 on 1 but had her special way of going complete berserko any time someone else entered the room. A few weeks ago a photo like this wasn't even worth trying for. She always moved out of frame and could never stay still for more than a few seconds. Marlon of @k9u_ny trained her to become not just more obedient, but a focused presence that is always looking for ways to ensure I'm loved. I feel as though I have a dog that's constantly on the look out for me. It's hard to put into words how comforting that is. It's the whole reason why I got her and after two tough years of losing hope that she'd always be a handful, here she is posing with easy for me to snap a portrait... without even the need for treats. Their service top to bottom is extraordinary. Marlon was always quickly reachable, he provided constant updates, his team was always on point and on their A game. Whether your dog is an intentional Covid pup or an unintentional one like Althea, consider reaching out to Marlon. He will change your dog's life and yours as well. I can't recommend him and his team enough. Althea, I'm looking forward to all of our adventures ahead. Especially now that you're not just a sane dog, but because you've become the best dog. Highly recommend K9 University across the board. They've changed our lives. Thanks again Marlon!

We wanted to teach our dog basic obedience and work on making sure he didn't bolt right out the door whenever he saw the door open. Our dog made a tremendous amount of progress in just six weeks working with *Uncle Marlon*. At this time, we also sprinkled in a bit of day care facility to get August used to socializing properly with other dogs and learning to seperate himself from us On Saturday, for our wedding day, Marlon picked up August at 10:30 from our house and took him to daycare at his facility. He brought him to meet us at our venue at 4 and the took him back to be boarded that evening. We were so excited to have pictures with our baby on our wedding attire and can't wait to see pictures! We picked August up that Sunday ... and boy did he have a great time! 10000/10 for the greeting we got when we picked him up!! The staff is so sweet and makes the dogs feel so at home while they're away from home. We usually send August with his food, treats and a few things from home (toy, bed, blanket). Alyssa sends us pictures and videos of him playing and making new friends. It's the cutest thing ever.

Beatriz and her partner looked after our cat, plants and home a few times over the last year since…read morewe moved here, so I Think a review is in order. Somehow I couldn't find the previous reviews on Yelp, which I'm sure were there a year ago, so posted mine here. After the first meeting with Beatriz, we were very comfortable with her taking care of our kitty and home. She is reliable, animal loving and flexible. Whenever we're away, she and her partner- that we haven't met, so I'm mainly referring to Beatriz - take great care of our kitty and home, we come back to clean litter boxe, watered plants, every package indoors, a house that is kept secure and a happy kitty. Often our trips are scheduled with very short notice and over holidays, and we have always heard from Beatriz : yes, we can do. We get daily/bidaily texts or emails, often with photos or even a video(!!), whether it's a weekend trip or a 10 -12 day trip. She'll let us know about the kitty, the weather, how things went and keep us at ease to do what we need to do elsewhere without having to worry about our preciuos kitty. Their pricing is fair and they will come extra when we were stranded on a trip, as the other reviewer mentioned, so their main concern is for the animal, which is the most important thing for a pet owner! I recommend Beatriz and partner whole heartily ! Just a note about location, my profile mentions that I'm from San Francisco, CA , but we are in Westbury, NY for almost a year now.. So it is the relevant business in case you're wandering :). I wish I had Wiggily Waggily service over there too!
