PetBuddy Services

I can not even begin to say enough great things about this service. The care and love that Oscar and his team give my Ginger is fantastic.
I knew when Oscar picked her up one day and I saw how much she loved him, that she is being not only cared for, but adored. I highly recommend this service to anyone who, like me, thinks their dog is the most important thing in life.

Oscar and his team are great with kahlua! They understand his timid nature, and have worked tirelessly with him and brought him to a point where he is happy and comfortable with every canine and human in their facility. We received pictures while overseas, and updates that our baby was doing good. The team is courteous and not only understands but LOVES all dogs!

Oscar and team are the best dog sitters in the NYC area! We’ve sent our Eskie Finn to Oscars place whenever we traveled in the past couple of years, and Finn always loves going! He’s always excited to see Oscar, and this is coming from a high-​strung dog that doesn’t like strangers. They are super communicative and responsive and I love seeing pictures of Finn when we are away. We are now moving abroad, and I can only hope we find a dog sitter as good as Oscar is — I wholeheartedly recommend him!

This is by far and away the best dog walking service in NYC! They’re more transparent and communicative than any other service I’ve ever used. The highlight of my working day is always getting a report from my walker. It comes with the with photos, a written summary of the walk, and a GPS-​tracked map of where my pup went – and all this for just $ 16/​half hr! Over the past year I’ve had three of their walkers – all of whom have been very professional, warm, and genuinely very caring about my pup. One of them still contacts me regularly to ask how she’s going even though she no longer works with the agency. And the owner Oscar is the greatest! He’s very responsive and kind. Even though he has loads of clients to keep track of, when he that heard that my pup was feeling unwell the other day he reached out immediately to see how she was doing and ask if he could do anything to help.
In short: PetBuddy is a well-​priced, personalized, and all round wonderful service to work with.

I just used pet buddy for 2 weeks and was very pleased with Oscar’s assistance, care and training tips for me and my puppy Moose. Oscar picked my pup up early in a car, she spent the day having fun with other dogs and at the end of the day he brought her back and she seemed very happy and worn-​out. Oscar even sent me text message updates and a couple photos to relieve my anxiety. I will use Pet Buddy again!

I use the day care services at PetBuddy. They pick my puppy up in the morning and drop her off at night and she socializes all day. It doesn’t get much easier or better than that.

I first found PetBuddy Services, because I needed help training my puppy. As a first time dog owner, I had no idea what to expect. Oscar met us at Madison Square Park, and he was able to give me some tips on walking my dog, how to interact with other dogs at the park,…etc. At the beginning, my dog kept pulling at the leash and trying to walk in front of us, but gradually at the end of the session he was walking right next to us and was able to follow our cues.
Now, my dog regularly goes to daycare at PetBuddy Services. He’s always so excited to go to daycare. He goes three times a week, and it’s great how Oscar and his team come in the morning to pick him up, and drop him off around 6:30 — 7:00pm. My dog is worn out by the time he comes home which is great! I really appreciate the photos that Oscar sends me of my dog having fun at daycare.
I highly recommend their services for training, daycare, and boarding!

I’ve been extremely happy with PetBuddy — I use them for dog walking when I’m at work and for boarding when I travel. My dog adores them and is always happy and excited when they arrive. I appreciate the notes that they leave after each walk (and that get emailed to me), and when my dog is being boarded they send me pictures. It’s obvious that they care deeply about the dogs, and they provide an excellent service for a very reasonable price. I recommend them to all of my friends.

PetBuddy is THE best. I have been sending my dog 3 – 4 times a week and for boarding when I leave town for over a year. They take care of absolutely everything from pick up and drop offs, to feeding, to boarding, training, and even send picture updates when I miss her! I completely trust them with my pup and would rather her be in their hands than anywhere else. They treat her like their own. If I could give a higher rating I could!

BEWARE I trusted Oscar with our precious dog when we went on vacation and they lost him. Coco was lost on June 5^th, 2015 and we are still looking for him. To make matters worst they send me a bill for the two days they had him. Oscar is more concerned about his reputation then helping us find my baby. they don’t deserve any stars but since I couldn’t post the rating without a star that’s why I gave him 1

I absolutely love pet buddy. I couldn’t be happier with the service. I feel very taken care of and the GPS service helps me know when and where my dog has been walked. Oscar has been a dream to work with and he answers all questions with a positive answer. I use the dog walking service 5 days a week and have had great success with the doggy day care. We’re using the boarding service for our vacation next week and I am very comfortable knowing my dog will have an amazing experience. Plus their prices are really reasonable!

Oscar and his team are simply outstanding. They have gone above and beyond on many occasions, and I’d still be using them today had I not moved out of the city. Oscar is passionate about his work, and it shows.

PetBuddy Services is without a question the best dog walking/​boarding service in the city. Oscar and his team go above and beyond in every way. It’s hard having to go to work or out of town having to leave your pup behind, but PetBuddy Services do everything they can to accommodate and make you feel assured. I was in China for two weeks, and before I left, Oscar made sure we would have a way to text so he could send me updates and pictures of my dog, Marvin. I woke up every morning excited to see all the fun Marvin was having in the PetBuddy house. Oscar also once spent a half an hour on the phone with me giving me advice on my cousin’s dog, who doesn’t even live in the city. He genuinely loves animals and has a very special way with them– they all seem to love him for it. I just had to relocate and will certainly be hard pressed to find a service half as good as PetBuddy Services. Highly recommend.

PetBuddy Services is the best in the city!!! I have always felt very uncomfortable leaving my dog when I have to travel. PetBuddy made me more comfortable than ever! Paulina kept me updated on Max all day long with many photos and details on his day to day behavior. When I saw the photos, I immediately knew Max was a happy pup! They are very persistent and timely with pick up and drop offs too. When Max wasn’t eating, Paulina sat with him and hand fed him. They even got Max a new coat because one of his buddies got hungry and chewed on his. Talk about going the extra mile! I couldn’t recommend PetBuddy Services any more! My boy came home all tuckered out from all the fun he had! As a busy traveller, I will be using PetBuddy Services every single time! Extremely thrilled with the love and care that was given to my pet!

I have entrusted Oscar with our Mini Schnauzer — Caesar since we’ve moved to NYC (we had an equally great walker in Chicago that was very hard to leave). Oscar and his team are attentive to our specific needs and delivers prompt service. We also have used the dog boarding service many times all without any hiccups. Our specific walker takes extremely good care of our dog, sends us photos, alerts us of any mishaps (and actually takes care of it to their best ability), and spends extra minutes on the job cleaning/​wiping/​putting on clothes on bad weather days. Seeing this kind of care is exactly what every dog owner should want. I would proudly endorse PetBuddy to anyone, anytime.

I have been using PetBuddy for nine months now and he was the best discovery for me and my dogs. I travel a lot for work and while I am away there is no better piece of mind than knowing that PetBuddy is looking after my dogs. With the pet check technology I get an email when my dogs start and finish their walks as well as a detailed recap. I have had instances where my flights have been cancelled and had to schedule last minute walks and Oscar has always been there to take care of my dogs and help in in a pinch. I also take advantage of the PetBuddy Home for both daycare and boarding and my dogs love it. They always come back happy and excited Now when I go on vacation and they can’t come with me they go on vacation to the PetBuddy Home. He and his team care for the dogs as if they were their own.

I really like Oscar and his team. I have tried other dog walking services and this is by far superior. What I like is the personalized attention, responsiveness and pictures of my baby. We had some confusion once over timing and Oscar quickly addressed it and corrected the situation.
I appreciate small things like helping my puppy learn how to walk up stairs, filling her klong toy before putting back in her crate and generally looking out for her not just a time slot but as a pet.
I have yet to try his boarding services but they are very reasonably priced and I look forward to it.

We boarded our 3 shih tzus with Oscar for a week. They came back healthy and happy. Oscar has a nice yard for them to play in. He would also send daily pics and updates while we were on vacation. We felt we got a great service for a great price.
We also recommended him to our friends who then boarded their dog for 2 weeks. They were very happy with his service.
This weekend we boarded our dog Elmer for 3 days. Until now we did not know the extent of our dog’s affection for him, but found out when he came to our apartment to drop off Elmer’s collar. Elmer was so excited to see him (mind you he only left 12 hrs ago) that he peed during his greeting. My dog is 3 and has never done that in his entire life. I think they really bonded and I’m so glad that my dog was with someone he liked that much. So when we are on vacation, our dogs are on vacation with their friend Oscar.
I highly recommend him.

Couldn’t be more pleased with this dog care service. They absolutely deserve 5 stars.
I have a lot of experience with overnight boarders in NYC, and while they are all very nice and trustworthy, they’re unrealistically expensive. At PetBuddy Services, I was able to board my Pomeranian & Chihuahua mix for a *very* affordable price while I was away for 3 days. While Oscar had my pups, he sent bunches of pictures and texts, and asserted my confidence that they were in great hands, and loving every minute. They are a very professional service, and handled the stay top-​to-​bottom, perfectly. I also received tips specific to my dogs’ breeds on grooming, feeding, etc. when Oscar dropped them back off. He loves what he’s doing and clearly knows dogs (he reminds me of Cesar Milan).
I hope PetBuddy Services doesn’t change a thing about their business. It’s a gem.

I used PetBuddy Services recently and it is now my go to overnight boarder for my dog. Very affordable, much more affordable then most places, and cage free. Also, Oscar, the owner, was very accommodating at the last minute. I found out on a Sunday that I would need a boarder for a few nights and he did not hesitate to take her.
I think the major difference for me was the personalized attention. Oscar text me numerous pictures of Porkchop while I was gone. From her socializing with his dog, her sleeping, her just being happy! I felt very secure and happy that she was with him, given that she gets very anxious when she’s away from home. Oscar gave me a full review when I picked her up. We ended up walking her together and he asked me if I’d be open to some tips on how to train her to be a better on the leash. I really love the personal attention, how attentive and accommodating Oscar is to every dog’s individual personality and needs. He knows his 4-​legged clients very well and he’s a true animal lover. If more than 5 stars were possible, I would give them!
