Happy Tails Pets

I cant say enough positive things about Madeline and Gabriel! From their friendly text message, adorable daily photos, and proven dependability, there is always a sense of relief and joy knowing my dog is being well taken care of. I love checking out my dog and the other dog photos on their Instagram account! We have an alarm system that logs when someone walks in the door and leaves and they are pretty on target with the length of time they are here. We had a horror story with our last dog walker when after a few month found out she wasn’t coming when she said she was! Its been a pleasure using Happy Tails Pets and i give high recommendations!

I have been working exclusively with Madeline & Gabriel since March 2016. They take excellent care of my 1.5 year old rescue dog, who has lots of energy and some stomach issues. They email me pictures and status updates after every walk. I am hesitant to write this review **only** because I don’t want them getting too busy to take care of my dog. Bottom line: they are very communicative, kind and trustworthy and I am very grateful that they help take care of my dog.

I’ve been using Happy Tails since I relocated to NJ from FL in July. I have an English bulldog and am extremely particular with who cares for him as well as who walks him since there are always a number of things to consider. Additionally, when being boarded I needed someone who was caring, understanding, communicative, knowledgeable, as well as willing to provide a crate free environment for my pet.
I initially started having them walk my dog whenever I needed to attend meetings or had any other event where I wouldn’t be able to come home during the day. They were always more than accommodating. Our relationship and trust has now grown to where I feel extremely confident having my pet boarded with them for several days at a time as I travel. They often send me pictures and videos throughout the day to let me know that my dog is healthy and ok. Additionally, they are comfortable applying medication if that need arises and in one extreme situation accommodated me on very short notice. I can never say enough about Gabriel and Madeline! The truly love the pets that they work with and it shows.
We look forward to taking advantage of the doggy field trips next!

My pup is a 6 year old rottie mix that still has the energy he did as a puppy. My husband and I work long hours and felt bad leaving him alone all that time so we have been on the search for reliable dog walkers for a couple of months. Our search ended with Happy Tails! They always text me when they arrive to my house and when the walk is over I get a nice summary and pictures starring my happy looking pup. My dog is my only child and Madeline and Gabriel certainly treat him as such so I couldn’t ask for better. While we only are in need of a dog walker right now I wouldn’t hesitate to use their overnight care if I needed it.

We moved to the Sayreville area recently and spent a lot of time looking for a dog walker. We had one in Nutley and they were very good however our dog, Alfie, wasn’t getting the energetic walks we wanted him to get. We would come home and he would be wired!
However, Madeline and Gabriel have been fantastic. We’ve had a few calls with other walkers and their customer service was far from impressive. The first time we met with them it was perfect. We spoke about Alfie for an hour and what we were looking for. We mentioned that he is a diabetic and they were eager to learn about how to help him and keep him healthy.
It’s been about a month and we are more than happy. We receive text messages when they arrive, how the walk went and even photos of Alfie during his adventure. We wanted Alfie to socialize a bit more and they’ve brought their dog, Lola, during his walk which we are really happy about. He’s nice and tired and played out when we get home. Alfie will go on a field trip with them soon! That is a service we are very excited about!
Our biggest concern was to have someone who could be aware and handle Alfie’s diabetes. We hadn’t had any issues but wanted someone who would be caring and understanding of his health, and be willing to provide assistance when needed. We booked Alfie for an overnight sleep over and went over how to administer his insulin. That evening we received a message that it was a success.
We are so happy with Madeline and Gabriel, they’re are exactly what we’ve been looking for!
