    Where do I begin with Prospect Bark and how incredibly amazing they are. Staff: the owner of Prospect Bark and her team are beyond the best. They love all of the dogs as if they were their own. They provide individual time, attention and love to every dog. They are so attentive from managing diets and allergies and any medicine to play time, etc. they send us videos and photos all day that are just the best. Environment: I would like to stay for a day at Prospect Bark it is so calming and relaxing. They have high ceilings, calming music, clean - very clear they are constantly cleaning because it smells lovely - and they have beds and toys for all dog sizes - including heated blankets in their front window during the winter and a big play space and pools in their yard. Boarding: our dog loves boarding at Prospect Bark. Their lower level is a combo of Murphy beds for free sleeping dogs and crates for dogs who need crate sleeping. They have staff who sat over with the dogs which is just the best. Care: everything from little personal hand-drawn pics of the dogs on the walls to “pupsicles” in the summer to Thanksgiving dinner and a holiday photo shoot, Prospect Bark is beyond like family to us and our dog. We love them and everything they do and have recommended them to many. They are exceptional! Beyond highly recommend!!

    Best doggie daycare, boarding, sitting and walking in Brooklyn! My wife and I have been using ProspectBArk! since our dog (now 8 years) was 3 months old. Weve done daily walking (for several years before covid), in-home sitting, daycare while we moved, and most recently an 8-day staycation at their daycare/boarding facility while we were in Japan. They have never let us down and always do an amazing job – really setting our minds at ease when we have to be away from our sweet doggie. They provide plenty of photo updates, respond quickly, and the facility is absolutely top notch. Clean, comfortable, and run by people who truly love animals.

    The team at ProsepctBARK is one of the most conscientious and caring group of animal care specialists we have ever encountered. From the early days of the business when they walkedour bulldog puppy to the their sensitive and meticulous care for her late in life - this team loves animals and makes it their mission to provide amazing services. We now have two new puppies and two cats. ProspectBARK provide excellent in home and day care services for all of our animals. They are like family to us and our animals and always exhibit professional excellence. Creative (draw up dog days!) unique (summertime frozen treats) and deeply kind - our animals are in the very best hands with this wonderful team!

    I cannot say enough good things about prospect bark. We send our dog to day care and board her, and she is treated with so much love and care. ProspectBark has also helped her become socialized well with dogs, and they’ve been so collaborative. We are so grateful to have found prospect bark.

    ProspectBark is an incredible dog daycare. The staff is caring and competent. My wife and I leave our little baby Granger in their hands and know he’ll be loved and taken care of. I could not highly rec this business more. The staff is really wonderful. One specific highlight is the staff’s constant communication via photos and video which helps my wife and I feel even more comfortable when we are away knowing our precious baby is in living hands.

    I have used ProspectBArks cat sitting service since 2016 whenever we go away on vacation or business trips and Ive had nothing but excellent experiences! The sitters are trustworthy, kind, professional, and passionate about caring for my two cats, Poppy and Bandit. And, on top of this great care, we also get lots of cute photos and videos of the cats while were on vacation. In particular, I want to shout out Jennifer Bernstein, our sitter of several years, for her incredible and attentive care. Our cats love her!

  • Review 7 (2024-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBArk goes above and beyond for pets and their humans! They have been kitty sitting for us for years when we go on vacation, and we have only ever had positive experiences. Sitters are always professional, communicative, and provide lots of updates and pictures. Our cat, Frasier, was recently diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, so we were nervous about leaving him alone when we had to go out of town. When we entered new care instructions into the portal, the owner was kind enough to call and collaborate on a special care plan for him. She even delivered a cat water fountain to our home to make sure Frasier didnt get dehydrated! We were so touched by the kindness and our sitter, Doug, was clearly mindful of our anxiety and made sure to give us the best updates. We feel really lucky to have the staff at ProspectBArk in Frasiers corner (and ours!).

    My dog is OBSESSED with everyone at Prospect Bark and I can absolutely understand why - the employees are so wonderful and keep you up to date on all of your dogs adventures while youre away. Its worth every penny to know your dog is being so well cared for (seriously - oregano oil in the water to help with digestion, my little guy was sunning himself on a heated faux fur blanket...its luxury for your pup). Also the best part - the employees actually sleep WITH your dog on overnights, so if you have a needy little guy like I do youll be thrilled to know he doesnt have to spend a second alone while youre away. Highly, highly recommend!

    ProspectBark has been a home for my Poppy Seed since he was of age to get out and experience the doggy world! Chun, Tina & the rest of the team have been absolutely amazing with my pet and from what I see with other pets as well! Every pet is individually cared for and supervised collectively. I have used ProspectBark countless times for daycare & overnight boarding (now called 24- Hour Staycation.) We are so excited to hop into the new location! Below is a portrait done by a hired artist, during an event PropsectBark did exclusively for members! We look forward to spending more time with them! Poppy Seed highly recommends!

    ProspectBArk! saved me and my cats, Mila and Bodhi! I was going out of town for a wedding and the person Id arranged to cat/house sit informed me a few days in that she couldnt do it anymore. I was far away and my cats were abandoned. I called up ProspectBark and they immediately went to my place to check on the cats. They took amazing care of them for the duration of my trip. Everyday Id get photos and videos from Ana who managed to have immediate rapport with this shy pair. Shed send videos of them playing and eating treats along with daily shots of clean litter, full water fountain, wet food and dry food. And all of this for a very reasonable price. I wont hesitate to call them again. Thank you ProspectBArk!

    Absolutely love them, especially our walker Laura! Our dog Papaya is walked every day with her friend Charlie and Laura takes great photos of them being hilarious to send me while Im at work, like this one of their matching raincoats :)The online schedule and payment portal is easy to use and its effortless to communicate with the admins. If youre looking for a seriously professional dog walking service, this is it!

  • Review 12 (2019-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark! Is a fantastic service. Ben takes amazing car of my cat when I travel, which is fairly often. Whether he is stopping by or cat sitting for extended trips, I know my cat is well taken care of. Tiki is not easy, but Ben has won him over and I couldn’t be more grateful. Easy online booking and very responsive to questions - I recommend them to friends and neighbors without hesitation!

  • Review 13 (2024-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    Prospect Bark is awesome!! If you love your dog you won’t board them anywhere else! I have searched many dog boarding places in Park Slope, and Prospect Bark is the absolute best by far! Chun-Soon and her daughter, Tina, Sheila and the whole staff! Outstanding! Where else does you dog get read bed time stories!! They always take the absolute best care of my dog when she is there. Can not recommend them enough!! 💕💕💕

  • Review 14 (2021-12-16 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark has been amazing!! We have been using their services for 6 months for our 2 year old golden retriever. Ben is amazing with our pup on his afternoon walks and sends pictures and updates every time! Diana stayed in our apartment when we left town for a couple of days and sent pictures, gave us multiple updates a day and was so nice and reassuring.The entire team is reliable and so accommodating!! I couldnt recommended this company enough!

  • Review 15 (2022-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    We have been using Prospect Bark for years and I have never been happier with a pet sitting service. Aside from being extremely organized, they go the extra mile to make sure you always know what your pet is up to when they visit. We have a cat and he LOVES the sitters so much, and when we are away they come 2x a day for 30 minutes each and feed him, play with him, and send us update messages and photos. They are a team of trustworthy, loving, responsible sitters and walkers. If you need a sitting service, you’d be silly to look elsewhere.

  • Review 16 (2022-03-04 - Rating: 5)

    The BEST pet sitters!! Weve used Prospect Bark for years, first for regular cat sitting and then for overnight stays as our sweet kitty got older and needed closer care and medication. The cat sitters are nothing less than amazing!! Every stay was like a mini spa vacation for my cat to be pampered and adored. The level of communication (including lots of photos!) and professionalism is exceptional. They make it so easy, working around my schedule for any logistics like keys or meeting a new sitter. And they are always available, even for major holidays. This is a woman-owned business and the owner is so engaged, caring, and community minded. Seriously, everything about this company is awesome and your pets will love them, too.

  • Review 17 (2022-03-07 - Rating: 5)

    I highly recommend ProspectBArk! I’ve been a client for the past 7 years and cannot imagine trusting my fur baby to anyone else. We’ve had many of their dog walkers over the years and each one has exceeded my expectations in terms of their care, love, and concern for my dog. Prices may be a bit higher, but not having to worry about days your dog walker is sick or on vacation more than makes up for it. ProspectBArk will be there to take care of your pet no matter what!

  • Review 18 (2023-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    This is a really special place. Our dogs love it, they send us several videos and photos throughout the day, and I can really tell the people that work there care about the dogs so much.I was nervous about finding a good boarding/daycare place in Brooklyn, and this 100% exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend.

  • Review 19 (2018-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    Prospect Bark is amazing! During our time with them, the team was attentive, professional and took absolutely incredible care of our pup. The ONLY reason we stopped using the service was due to a move out of state. The 2.5 years we worked with the team, our dog was always in amazing hands and we were fortunate to work with walkers in multiple Brooklyn neighborhoods. The online scheduler and payment portal is also hugely convenient. Highest recommendation - there is no better option for your pup!

  • Review 20 (2019-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark! Is an amazing company. They have been taking care of our dog for the last few years and all of their walkers have been professional, on-time, personable, and super engaged and excited about working with our pet. We feel at ease when we use their services. And, their online system is super easy to use and they have great customer service. We would recommend their dog walking and pet services to anyone in the city.

  • Review 21 (2021-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    The professional walkers from Prospect Bark were such a big help to our family beginning when I was finally too pregnant to walk our dogs each day. I found I could rely on them to take great care our dogs, not to mention that they were kind people who truly enjoyed animals! When I was busy caring for the baby, they were also able to lend a hand. Very grateful to have connected with this awesome group of folks!

  • Review 22 (2020-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    I have used ProspectBark for over 3 years and have had nothing but fantastic experiences with them. They have very flexible schedules and are great with accepting requests for last minute walks. They have taken such amazing care of my two dogs. My dogs have loved every walker theyve had! Its hard having to give them up.

  • Review 23 (2022-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    Our pup is obsessed with Chun-Soon and this daycare! He has many, many behavioral issues (and is 70 lbs, so people dont just think its cute!), and her team has been the most responsive, patient, wonderful daycare providers we could ask for. We also love that they sleep with the dogs when boarding overnight - given our pups severe separation anxiety, it was incredibly helpful! After the pandemic did a number on our pup (separation issues, people reactivity, some dog reactivity), my partner and I thought wed never have our lives back. This daycare (+ regular training with an unrelated trainer) has turned him into such a great version of himself. Thanks ProspectBark, so glad the new location opened!(Also the new location is GORGEOUS and huge and has an outdoor space! Wins all around.)

  • Review 24 (2021-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark has been an amazing dog walking partner! The walkers were always on time and courteous and sent pictures of our pup having the time of his life. Our dog had an illness at one point and they called us immediately, recommended different foods and solutions etc and helped take care of him until we could get home from work. Sad to have moved away so we can no longer use them!

  • Review 25 (2020-03-19 - Rating: 5)

    Prospect Bark has been caring for our two cats since 2017, and we could not be happier with their service! Our sitter Lori treats our cats as though they were her own, and they love her as well -- our anti-social cat literally eats out of her hand. The office is always responsive via e-mail and WhatsApp, the online portal makes scheduling and payment easy.

  • Review 26 (2022-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    I have been using ProspectBark! for my dog Riley for over 5 years. I have loved every one of his walkers! Riley has been a huge fan as well! Jen is wonderful! She has spent the most time with him and loves him! He loves her as well! Any time Riley needs a walk or a sit, ProspectBark! does everything possible to provide help. I am so grateful to have them in our lives!

  • Review 27 (2022-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Sancho always has the best time playing with his friends at daycare or sleeping over while we’re away for the weekend. The team is great about keeping us updated throughout his time so we can see how he’s doing. His first overnight was a 5 night stay and we were nervous, but he loved every minute. It was so nice that he could have his own vacation while we had ours. Couldn’t recommend enough their daycare, overnights, dog walks, and training!

  • Review 28 (2020-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve used Prospect BArk for about three years. I had a really bad experience with another dog walking company so I was nervous to try a new place.... Prospect Bark put me at ease immediately. They are communicative and oh so patient and available.I’ve had three different walkers, each with their own special qualities. Miró feels safe with all three. Currently Miró’s walker is Ashley and she’s great.What I love about Prospect BArk is the peace of mind. They make sure a walker is always available when you’ve scheduled a walk or stay. They have a super easy portal to use. Through WhatsApp you are always in touch with your walker and a super sweet administrator. You get pictures and text updates.My dog and I love this place, you can’t go wrong!

  • Review 29 (2020-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about ProspectBark. We started using them 2.5 years ago and it’s been nothing but a great experience. We were very concerned about our dog’s wellbeing and the team here totally put us as ease. First, you always have the same primary and backup walker, so there’s never a concern of a stranger coming in. You’re also able to meet these people beforehand. Second, you’re able to leave detailed instructions re: your dog’s care (for example, please put in booties and give a treat after the walk). Third, you get daily updates after the pup’s walk with a picture and how they did. Fourth, our walker Jackson was literally, the best! Very friendly, always followed our instructions, even polite enough to take his shoes off when he came into our apartment! Lastly, the portal to sign up and cancel walks, process payments etc is super easy! ProspectBark is truly a professional, trustworthy organization.

  • Review 30 (2020-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBArk! is absolutely the best pet sitters/dog walkers/cat lovers I have ever come in contact with. They go above and beyond, and truly treat pets like family. I have used them for years and am able to rest assured that when I am away, they are taking the best care of my furbaby. I receive detailed notes on the visit, as well as numerous pictures of my kitty. On a personal note, an injured dog was abandoned outside of my apartment building, and not knowing who else to turn to I reached out to ProspectBArk!, and one of the owners immediately responded and came over to help transport the dog to the vet; they also asked their animal community to assist in raising funds for the dogs hospital bills. They are amazing animal loving people. I would highly recommend them!!

  • Review 31 (2018-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Prospect Bark is the absolute BEST. I am completely obsessed with and neurotic about my cat and I have not found a pet service that makes me feel as comfortable as these guys. They are 100% reliable and its clear from their many updates that they really spend the time to make your animal feel loved and snugged. They have really bailed me out of sticky situation when Ive had to extend trips, book trips last minute, etc. I have since moved out of NY and still miss having Prospect Bark in my back pocket. love love love.

    We have been thrilled with the service that Prospect Bark provides. All of Wally’s caregiversHave been fantastic and his current walker, Bruno, takes the greatest pictures of our pooch.And they have lots of fun on the walks. It’s Easy to navigate the client portal and they are always responsive to our needs... highlyrecommended!!

  • Review 33 (2017-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark is an absolutely wonderful company. From the first moment we emailed them to inquire about dog-walking services, they were responsive, organized, and committed to taking superb care of our dog. They immediately got back to us to set up a meet-and-greet with our dog-walker and to get us initiated into their portal (which makes scheduling and payments so easy). Our dogs walker, Beth, was compassionate, always prompt and present, took the time to get to know our dog (who can be a little anxious at first), sent us messages and pictures after every walk, and responded to all of our messages about any thoughts that came up for our dog that day. We felt completely at ease knowing that Beth was coming from ProspectBark to take care of our dog and had such an easy and pleasurable experience dealing with the admins. Very highly recommend!!

  • Review 34 (2020-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark has walked and looked after our Pembroke Welsh Corgi for the past five years and we couldnt be happier with their services! They have always been very accommodating when it comes to scheduling a walk at the last minute, and the walkers they have assigned to us have always been timely, friendly, and responsible people that we feel good about leaving our dog with.The online patient portal system that they have set up works great and makes it very easy to schedule and pay for walks or visits with your pet. And if we ever had any issues whatsoever, the team was always very quick to respond to our inquiries. We even locked ourselves out of our apartment last week and they were able to get spare keys to us a few minutes later!During COVID weve also been very impressed with the way their staff handled safe practices by always wearing masks and conducting themselves in a way that minimized direct contact with us and our apartment.In a nutshell, Prospect Bark is full of reliable, responsible, and friendly people that you can trust to take good care of your furry family members!

    This is a review for their newer doggy daycare on 5th Ave and 16th street. Everything works through an app, including booking and communication. My dog loves it here and they take such good care of him! They even have the pups Turkey and pumpkin on thanksgiving. The business is family run, which I love and they send photos and updates constantly. A great place for boarding and daycare.

    ProspectBark has taken great care of our lil pit Tuna for at least 5 years and weve had the best walkers ever that our dog loves to see. We dont have a regular walking schedule and they always make it work for us. Super grateful for them and their personal touch taking care of our pooch.

  • Review 37 (2021-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    I moved to Brooklyn this Summer, and I struggled to find a dog walker I can trust and rely on. ProspectBark! has been amazing. They work around my schedule. Convenient booking process and extremely professional walkers. I would be lost without them. Not only do they walk my dogs but Ive also had a great time with training sessions offered through ProspectBark! for my very stubborn bulldog and pug. Walking them now has been a complete 180 change for the better. Thank you for everything!!

Their online booking system is super convenient and easy to use. We’re so incredibly lucky to have found ProspectBArk and would recommend them to everyone!

  • Review 40 (2017-08-01 - Rating: 5)

    Laurel at ProspectBark is the most amazing walker Ive ever experienced. She has such a love for animals and it really shows in the care she gives. My Yorkie Poo can be difficult and has some behavior issues but it never made Laurel weary. She knew exactly how to handle Lucys anxiety and territorial nature. She always sent pictures and often spent some time giving Lucy belly rubs. I love the easy to use portal where you can schedule walks and request services -- it makes working with the ProspectBark team a breeze.

  • Review 41 (2017-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    Weve been using Prospect Bark since 2013 and couldnt be happier. We started with occasional kitty sits for our cat, Lucy, and most recently added regular dog walks with our puppy, Piper. Chun-Soon, Matt, and team always find a way to help us out, even on last-minute notice. Our dog walker, Jackson, is the best; Piper cant wait for him to stop by! Highly recommend these folks.

  • Review 42 (2018-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    The team at ProspectBARK is AMAZING! They are perfect professionals: they are responsive and so helpful when accommodating any last minute requests, theyre systems are easy to use and make scheduling shifts and payments easy, they always make sure you know which walker is visiting your pup each day and the walkers themselves are the sweetest, most responsible people that develop real relationships with your pup! I get pictures of my smiling pooch every day and his walkers - Michaela and Zach - always add a little quip or comment that makes me laugh. Leo (my dog) gets so excited when we run into Michaela or Zach on the street, he really loves them! Definitely HIGHLY recommend these guys -

    Our pup comes here regularly for day visits and is always happy and tired out from all the playing when I pick him up. Have also had him stay for long periods of time as a staycation and he absolutely loves it. They send numerous photos and videos a day, which is wonderful because I miss him. Everybody is super nice and extremely prompt in responding to any questions / queries. It’s just the best place and we are very fortunate to have them in the area.

  • Review 44 (2023-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    We have been customers of PB since 2014 and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and love they have given to our pup Blake. In this time he has received daily walks, overnight stays at our home while we were on vacation and an overnight stay in their 5th Ave daycare. As a nurse with an unpredictable schedule - I know I can always count on them which was a godsend esp during 2020. Even if its a last minute request , somehow PB magically makes it happen. Look no further and call them now ❤️

  • Review 45 (2020-04-15 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBARK is a no-brainer for pet-sitting. After my longtime cat sitter suddenly moved away, I was really worried about booking a new sitter for an upcoming trip. But Chun-Soon and her team were incredibly responsive, friendly, and thorough right off the bat. I feel so safe leaving my older cat, Buddy, in their care. They always let me know how hes doing and send *fantastic* pictures. You really cant do better.

  • Review 46 (2018-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    I cannot recommend ProspectBArk! enough. Ashley is so so great--she takes our dog for daily walks and checks in our cats when were out of town, and every experience has been great! She really cares about our pets (they love her) and is wonderful about communicating/staying in touch, sending pictures, working with you on any special requests, and generally going above and beyond.

  • Review 47 (2018-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Ever since I brought home my labradoodle puppy in 2011, ProspectBArk! walkers have taken amazing care of her! Theyve walking her with 100% reliability, even in the face of my last-minute requests, and cared for her exquisitely when I am out of town. They are a perfect dog-walking company. I must also thank our current walker Christina (do request her by name), who took care of the dogs this past weekend and, as there was a break in the pipes, cleaned up after the plumbers and left the place sparkling clean. I think she even cleaned the dog. She is amazing. And ProspectBArk! is amazing, too.

  • Review 48 (2017-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    If you are looking for a trustworthy and reliable company to take care of your pet, ProspectBArk is the place for you. We have been extremely happy with the service, from the first meet and greet to the communication from the walkers and management. Dede started walking Maya and when she was no longer available Colleen took over. Both ladies were wonderful. I felt so comfortable with them handling Maya, they gave her lots of love and sent us text updates and pictures after each walk. We have a Canary (wifi camera) in our home, so I can confidently say that they did an amazing job with Maya. I had concerns with Maya at first having someone new take care of her, but they made the transition to hiring a dog walker so great. If there was a change of walkers or anything we needed to know about we received a text or email. Also, if there is a snow storm or holiday they communicate really well with the customers to give a heads up if they need to cancel appointments so their is no late charge. The portal they use is easy to book and cancel walks as needed.Unfortunately, we are moving out of Brooklyn. I know Maya will miss her daily walks with the ProspectBArk team. Thank you all so much!!

    I’ve used ProspectBArk for years, both for dog walking and sitting and they are incredible. Patient, trusted, kind people who will care for your animal like they are their own. I never have any doubt that my dog is in the best hands when she is in their care.

    We’ve been clients of ProspectBark for over a decade now. Over the years, Amelia – our cat – has had many friends through ProspectBark. It has always been clear that the staff love animals and truly care for their furry friends. While the service and attentiveness is fantastic, what we appreciate most is being able to travel with peace of mind, knowing the Amelia is so well cared for.

  • Review 51 (2017-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark and specifically the RiversideBark team on the UWS (Taryn and Krystal) have been caring for my puppy for 6 months. In that time Ive seen them treat my puppy like their own with extreme care, attention and love. Theyve worked very closely with us on our specific needs regarding our puppys training schedule and separation anxiety and are always very conscious of any specific requests we have. We love the amazing photos that we receive of our pup after each walk along with a detailed update about the walk. It makes our day to see how happy our puppy is with the RiversideBark team when we are at work. The team is also extremely respectful of our home to the extent that weve trusted them to puppysit overnight when we have been on vacation. Our puppy is our baby and we really appreciate all that RiverSideBark does for him and us as a family each day - wed highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog walker on the Upper West Side, or in the general Manhattan/Brooklyn area!!!

    Tina and Laura are the most amazing dog walkers and sitters. Very professional, organized and reliable-and just amazing people as a whole. Our doggie has special needs and can be difficult at times and they took such good care of her she was always calm when we came home.

    We have been using prospect bark since 2016 to take care of our cats any time we go on vacation or need to go out of town. I particularly like that I am able to easily schedule cat sitting visits online at any time of day. Our trips are often short notice and they are almost always able to accommodate last minute requests we make that are a day or two before our departure, even during peak holiday times. The sitters always send us several pictures of our cats during their visit via WhatsApp so we can check in wherever we are in the world. Our cats are always happy and healthy when we get home. They even bring in our packages! We have never had an issue with them in 4 years, I trust them fully and can’t recommend them enough.

    Wish I could give ProspectBark more than 5 stars! They are absolutely the best! Our dog Lola absolutely loves coming here for daycare and overnights. You can tell how much the staff truly cares about all of the dogs that come here. We get the cutest photos and videos throughout the day (they send so many throughout the day, and you can tell how much fun all of the dogs are having) so we never have to wonder how she is doing & they always make us smile. They set up pools for the dogs during the Summer, organize different activities, and make healthy treats for the dogs too. The space is also extremely clean! This is truly such an incredible place and we always trust them to watch our dog Lola - she really has a BLAST here! I cant recommend ProspectBark enough!

    Having a dog in the city isnt easy, and having a large, energetic dog can be even harder. ProspectBArk! made caring for our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy so much less stressful and put our minds at ease when we had to be away. Ben, our walker, is extremely reliable and came to take out our pup twice a day. She has had quite a few medical needs in her young life and Ben was always mindful of those. He sent text updates each and every time he took her out, put her coat on in the winter months, and wiped her paws on rainy days. He brought her a fun toy on her birthday and in the 15 months that weve had our pup, Ben has only taken one vacation! Once Ben even picked up our girl from a Rover stay because we were stuck in traffic and were running about an hour late for pick-up. The Rover person watching our pup would not receive a great review from me, but I will sing Bens praises as well as ProspectBArks any day of the week!

    This is an AMAZING company and group of animal caretakers. We have been with PB for 4 years and have always felt safe and secure having their caretakers caring for our pets with daily visits as well as staying in our home. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs and their staff treat each and everyone like their own. In particular, one of our dogs has undergone a few illnesses that included crate rest, rehab and special medication and PB was always able to come through on helping to heal our pets back to health.

    My dog is a friendly but anxious pup and all the walkers Ive had have handled her really well! Gabe, Zoraida, and Emily have each guided her through three different apartments and they were all very sweet and patient with her. The online system is easy to use on on your phone and computer, and the admin staff are receptive and communicative.

  • Review 60 (2016-07-11 - Rating: 5)

    Im posting this review because I know all too well the difficulties in having a dog in this city. Finding someone reliable to pet-sit for you when you are working overtime is more difficult than youd imagine!Take it from me: you can find some random person looking to make a couple bucks, but if theyre not insured and they dont answer their phone when you need them, they dont keep in touch with you and your dog pees in the house when he has been POTTY TRAINED for over five years.. well, lets just say I tried the guy in my building, then I tried a guy in the neighborhood who has his own business (even a website), both left me worrying on those long days at work.If you go with Prospect Bark, you definitely wont have those weird questionable feelings, because they send you a photo or video of your dog from their walk, along with a nice message about how it went. I call on them whenever Im stuck at work, because I dont want to leave it to chance. You can trust Prospect Bark to be there, but you dont have to - they send you proof!

  • Review 61 (2020-03-29 - Rating: 5)

    We absolutely love them! Have been clients for nearly 5 years and it is comforting to know that our dog is always in good hands with their amazing walkers. They are also very communicative and helpful if our plans ever change. Couldnt recommend enough!

  • Review 62 (2019-09-03 - Rating: 5)

    I have been through a couple dog walking companies (I have had a Jack Russell for 11 years both in Boston and NYC) and LibertyBArk is the absolute best. My walker is Matt Garcia and he is kind, reliable, and professional. Its easy to find walkers (esp in NY) who look at walking dogs as just a way to make money fast, but Matt has a crazy strong work ethic and is one of those rare people who gives 200% to every encounter, whether with a human or dog (Chun-Soon, the owner, as well!) The whole team has my dogs best interest at heart and there have been a few times where they could have easily not accommodated my last-minute request or charged me a full rate, and they didnt (i.e., my dog is walked with another in the afternoons so the rate is $15, but I know there have been times they could have charged $22 for a solo walk because the other dog was gone and they didnt.)The other perk that I appreciate is the client portal where you can view your invoice and make walk requests at any time. Honesty if I had all the money in the world, I would never walk my dog (haha!) and have walks scheduled 3x a day but they are so patient with my last-minute requests as I try to juggle my life, bank account and dog all by myself!! Ive never sent them a message on WhatsApp that wasnt addressed within the hour.Also have to mention, anytime my dog has had an accident in the house while Im at work, Matt notices it and fixes it without pause. He says its in his job description, but Ive never expected that and it speaks to his character.They are also very thoughtful in reminding clients prior to a holiday to cancel the walk if they will be home/dont want to be charged the holiday rate.And LASTLY, your walker will always send you a bunch of photos from the walk with a little summary of what happened (its never, He peed a bunch and pooped once, there are always valuable little details added.)

    ProspectBArk and Chun-Soon have provided wonderful, reliable service for our dog Denver. We have used both their walking and overnight pet sitting services and have always felt that Denver is in great hands. Chun-soon really goes above and beyond to be helpful, and has even personally had Denver spend a weekend with her and her daughter. You can tell that her passion and love for what she does really shines through in her business and the standard she holds for her team of employees.

  • Review 64 (2014-04-03 - Rating: 5)

    Among the top dog walking companies in the city--hands down. Chun-Soon is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and empathetic. You may pay a more premium price, but youre getting quality in every penny. Tina was my Lefferts Gardens dog walker and she kicked butt--always reliable, sent prompt thoughtful text updates with pictures, and cared for my pups as if he was her own.

  • Review 65 (2017-06-28 - Rating: 5)

    I loved having Dumpling walked by Laurel from Prospect BArk! I always felt secure knowing she was getting walked from people who cared about her, and I absolutely loved getting text and photo updates. They were always quick with communication and available for last minute changes. Highly recommended.

  • Review 66 (2022-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic! Honestly can’t say enough good things about them. They take incredible care of my 60 lb dog that can be handful sometimes. I trust them completely and my dog always comes home happy and sleepy.

    They are a well-organized, reliable, yet friendly and personable dog walking and pet sitting service. Their employees are all trained and vetted, and their communication is topnotch. They’re the best dog walking service I’ve used, and I never have to worry about my furry children being in their hands. A plus.

  • Review 72 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    My dog and I LOVE ProspectBArk. I have never trusted a place more with my fur baby. I know she is in good hands, getting taken care of and having fun! The staff is super friendly and communicative. I love that I get picture and video updates throughout the day. And they even make homemade snacks for the pups. Can’t recommend this place enough!!

  • Review 79 (2022-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    We used ProspectBark for about a year, once we got our pup until we moved out of the area. We loved the place and our dog did as well.She was always excited to go and would basically pull us across the street to get there. The staff were always great, attentive, and would keep us updated with pics throughout the day. Also, our dog never came back smelly, which we have experienced at other day cares. Best of all, she was always pooped for the next 12 or so hours so we know she had a great time. Unfortunately, we are no longer in the neighborhood but if we come back we would absolutely use them again!

  • Review 80 (2022-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    We have used Prospect Bark for our dog for 11+ years. They have been such a life saver for us. Our dog can get triggered easily by loud noises or other dogs and our walkers have always expertly handled any situation that arose. More so, the walkers and managers are flexible with our schedule and always communicative, proactive, courteous, and extremely responsible. But, the ultimate proof comes when we are with our dog and run into one of our walkers on the street - our dog reacts as though she’s seeing a family member: wagging tail, excited face, and begs for belly rubs. We highly recommend Prospect Bark to any pet parent.

  • Review 81 (2018-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    I have been a Prospect Bark client since 2009 and have been incredibly happy with their services. PB sitters have cared for two of my cats - one of which was definitely a tough customer! Theyve handled changes of plans, medical emergencies, and many other dramas with professionalism and compassion. Every time we left for a trip, I knew my cats were in good hands. On occasions when we had to extend our trip due to missed flights, theyve always covered the extra time without any problems. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The owner of the company is always on hand to deal with any problems, and the sitters are top notch. In particular, Zach has been an amazing friend to our cats over the years.

  • Review 82 (2022-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    We’ve tried several dog daycares and Prospect Bark is a truly special place. Our dog Sunny loves going there. Not only do they have a gorgeous space for the dogs to play (indoor AND outdoor), the staff is fantastic, attentive, and so communicative. Each client has a dedicated WhatsApp chat and we never have to ask for photos and video of Sunny because the staff always sends them throughout the day. Our dog is our baby and there is no other daycare we trust her with the way we do with Prospect Bark.

    Our dog loves staying over! He gets to sleep in a big bed with all his pals. We know hes taken care of when we are away. The new space is great and even has a backyard!

  • Review 84 (2023-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been having my cats, Sati and Isis, taken care of by the ProspectBArk! team since 2016, and they have been excellent. The care, updates and kindness that the sitters, especially Ben (shout out!), give to my very needy kitties when Im away has been above and beyond. I recommend them to everyone I know who has pets.Update 2023: the ProspectBark! Team is still an excellent and caring service! I still recommend them anytime someone in the city has a pet that needs care!

  • Review 85 (2018-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    ProspectBark is an amazing, accountable, capable and professional dog walking company, and we couldnt be happier to have worked with them. Our dog is high needs (anxious, dog-on-dog aggressive...but otherwise a love bug:)) and we are overly protective and critical of his caregivers. We worked with both Beth and Tina, they were both so in tune with his needs and handled his outbursts better than I do sometimes. Most importantly, our dog LOVED them and was very well taken care of. I am so appreciative and would recommend them to anyone!

    My husband and I have been using ProspectBArk! for over a year for our precious cat Chuck. Our sitter Rachel has done an amazing job--she sends detailed daily updates as well as glamour shot quality photos. We can tell that she genuinely loves animals, and we feel at ease knowing Rachel is taking care of Chuck and keeping him company when we are away.Highly recommend ProspectBArk! for your pet sitting needs!
