The Paws & Rec employees are responsive and easy to work with, and they're all so sweet to our dog. We run into them sometimes on the street and she gets so excited to see her walkers!
On the professional end - GREAT response times to emails. Always very nice and helpful. Our walker in particular knows one of us is usually at home and will text us everyday when he's close to picking up the pups. And the "loving our dogs" end - INCREDIBLE. Our pups aren't the easiest to handle and our walker handles them with such love and patience. He plays when them way more than we ever do on a walk (and that is a LOT) and the pack walks are great for the length, destinations (so many dog parks!) and because they're constantly socialized with other dogs. I've known a few dog walkers from Paws and Rec before we started having them walk our dogs, and all the walkers are very good at letting the dogs play, even roughly, because they know the distinction between playing and aggressiveness and always stop the dogs from crossing the line. We've not sent our pups on their little daily retreats, but I think it's SO sweet and thoughtful that they come up with that idea. There's none better!
They are so communicative! They always remind you about upcoming holidays, they make it really easy to get in touch if you have a scheduling change, and the walkers are super friendly. Our dog Artie loves his walks with Paws and Rec.
We have had such a great experience with Paws and Rec. They are very reliable, and our dog always seems happy and exhausted when she gets home from her pack walk. We're definitely happier with Paws and Rec compared to your average dog-walking service. We don't feel so guilty leaving our dog home alone now knowing she will get outside and exercise with her friends for a couple hours.
We conduct a Meet & Greet at the home of every new customer
All our Pack Leaders are professionally trained by local dog trainers, particularly Calm Energy Dog Training. We ensure that each Pack Leader becomes certified in Pet First Aid & CPR through Pro Pet Hero.
The Fox family have rescued and cared for dogs all their lives. Jennifer, aka Mama Fox, raised her sons to respect & care for all life: human, dog, or otherwise. Growing up the Fox brothers, Christian, Stephen & Samuel would help the neighborhood by providing dog walking & boarding services. In time, Christian branched out to give the urban dog what they craved most: an active social life outdoors! What started with a few dogs in Brooklyn, quickly grew to what Paws & Rec is today.
We provide fitness and care to all types of dogs, big or small.
Any time one of our dogs is excited and jumping at the door ready to come out & play makes our day bright!
Your dog is your child. Seek the kind of care & service that your dog craves & needs.
