I cannot say enough good things about Mindy and the Hound Around gang. I have been using Hound…read moreAround for almost 8 years now - since Peanut was a puppy. I adopted my second dog Rio almost 4 year ago. Mindy and her team have supported me through back problems for Peanut (she has even taken her to the vet for emergency acupuncture when I was out of town) and a whole host of stomach issues when I first adopted Rio from the shelter. Hound Around's walkers are always reliable and available if I hit any last minute scheduling issues and need an extra walk. The scheduling, payment, and walk tracking technology is great, and the holiday treats left on the counter is just another example of how Mindy goes the extra mile for all of her clients. She and the team really care about our dogs. Mindy and Trish are the only ones that have ever taken my pups overnight besides my parents. I trust her implicitly and could not be more grateful that Peanut and Rio are loved and exercised while I'm at the office or out of town.

Barkley has literally known Mindy his whole life. Hound Around started walking him when he was…read moreabout a year old-he's now almost 12. We are so lucky to have them: the peace of mind, trust and genuine love our precious boy gets while in Mindy's care is the reason she will always have us a loyal clients-and friends! From daily walks, to an occasional 'can Barkley stay with you while we go to Italy for a week?' No matter what, we know he's happy, safe and in great company! In fact, Mindy sent us this photo when we were IN Italy! Someone looked a little too happy & cozy without us at her house, LOLOL. Warmed our hearts seeing this and enabled us to enjoy vacation much more. There is really no one else for us and our B. We Hound Around!

When you choose Donovan's you're choosing a group that will love your dogs the way you do, someone who will take care of them as you do and they are going to get the most exercise. (And a great story with wonderful photos) Thank you John and everyone at Donovan's for making the week so great and allowing us to really get away and enjoy our trip.

When two dog walkers take five dogs each into a small dog park where one dog is allowed per person…read moreper visit, that kills the chance for any single dog owner to enter. It may be nice for the ´pack' but individual dogs are humped and harassed. Too much barking and pushing from the pack. The Donovan dogs are not well behaved as a group.

Kevin and his team - jacob, I particular, sat for my senior rescue for about 7 years from the time…read moreI rescued in 2017 until he passed this year. Abe was around 8 when I rescued him the past 3 years Abe became blind due to diabetes, had Cushings disease and pancreatitis - the care they gave Abe through all of his challenges was over the top. If you have a blind dog or failing senior Extra Mile should be your first call. I traveled for 2 weeks last year and even though Jacob and I spoke every day I knew Abe was safe, loved and cared for . My neighbors always commented to me how they saw Jacob walking Abe and said he was always so kind to him, was focused on Abe and not distracted by his phone !

Kevin is the best. We actually switched from a different service based on recommendations from…read moreanother pittbull owner. Kevin is responsive, knowledgeable, and great with our dog. He provides helpful tips in training her, and goes above and beyond. When Willow contracted an intestinal virus from the park, Kevin answered my frantic call to ask if we needed to take her for an emergency hospital visit. He truly cares about his dog and human clients, and I would highly recommend him. Willow loves him too!

Our dog Leonard went to Executive Dog Lounge for about a year until we had to move to a different…read moretown in 2019. I loved it. We did the corporate month plan, and I loved the flexibility. I could pickup and drop off any time, which was a godsend. I've toured every pet care facility in Jersey City, and I feel pretty comfortable saying that EDL is the best one. I love that they only take small and gentle dogs--I saw a few dogs get rejected/expelled because their size/temperament wasn't a match. They are way more selective than the other daycare facilities in the area. I guess for some families that would be a problem, but for someone like me with a small, gentle dog, it provided a lot of peace of mind to know my dog was safe. Other things I loved: - Regular outdoor walks through the day (unlike other facilities, which just mop up after the dogs) - James and crew really seem to love the dogs - No reservations needed with corporate month plan - Plenty of carpets and couches felt like home - Can watch my dog play through the window - Never more than ~12 dogs at a time, so it's not too crowded. My only complaints are that I wish there was more space and a webcam feed, but it's not that big of a deal.

Paid for "stop and stay" they took out in a heat wave with other big dogs. Left me in the apartment like a stuffed animal to pass away.

It's a cute little place playful decorated with some fun Hoboken themed doggy scarves and treats to reward to your dog with. I went on a Saturday so it was a little hectic with dogs running around waiting for their owners and new dogs coming in for services. But the staff was incredibly friendly and patient. They used the dremel on my anxious dog to trim them down a little and get rid of the ruffness (pun intended). Daria got right down on the ground with her in the lobby instead of having her go through, what would have been a much more stressful encounter -ie dragging her into the chaos with the other dogs and lifting her up on a table. All in all a good experience with fair prices and a nice team. Only wish is that the space were larger. But next time I'll definitely go during the week.

This explains why i rarely go on a real vacation Whenever i have gone away i have been fortunate to have someone stay in my home with him. I moved back here 3 months ago and had a chance to go away last weekend BUT...what to do about my kid? I dont have a sitter yet and friends and family are too far away to stay over. Boarding him was NOT an Option. I found BCC and reached out to Dania. She was totally amazing! Came to the house to meet J - we went for a walk together so she could see what a brat he is and she told me about her company and the sitters who work for her. To say Dania LOVES animals is an understatement. U can tell how passionate she is about their well-being and you just know that she would never have anyone on her staff that she wouldn't trust to take care of her own kids. Mind you this was only 3days before i was hoping to go away. I asked if she would be able to accommodate and she didnt even blink! She set up meet and greets for me with a couple of her sitters and they were both awesome. Kimberly is the one who drew the short straw with J . I hope shes ok but i can report that She spoiled him more than i do! She even let him sleep with her and he IS a blanket hog Dania and Kimberley were super respectful of my home AND Dania's is the first sitter service i've had that provided me a copy of her insurance and DL as well as the girls'. I didnt even need to ask. Kimberley walked J in the am gave him breakfast returned for midday walk then back for dinner, walk and bedtime. She even fed my chatty cockatiel AND washed dishes WHAT??? Dania Kimberley and I were in contact through the weekend via text and Kimberley sent several pics of THE KING! BCC also offers daily walks which we will be using on days I need to be in the office. Payment is easy - Dania sends invoice and offers several ways to pay (we used Paypal). Now that i've found BCC im going to be taking more vacations!!! As for J? He keeps hinting that he cant wait until i go away again - hes staring at my suitcase as i write this review. Thanks Dania!!

I've been out of town several times and my dog was wonderfully taken care of. They made sure he was never bored or lonely and even brought him baked treats. The folks at BCC go beyond what is expected of any dog walking service. I've had last minute walking needs several times in the past, and they've jumped into action to help me and care for my dog. I never worry when he's with them. They're genuine, fair, thoughtful, and honest dog-loving people. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone!
