"I came to NYC having never left my dog alone before, not to mention in the big city. Petaholics not only provided me with someone to walk my dog during the day, but also gave me the peace of mind that she was with someone whom I trusted. The notes left by the dog walker are especially showing of their caring and responsibility. - Peter Bourqin [email  Peter Bourquin
"Before we discovered Petaholics, my husband and I were beyond stressed. Why? The first problem was that our Min Pin, Gibbon became the great escape artist and I would come home and find him in a room he was not allowed to be in. After two pairs of glasses, three trips to the dry cleaners, and a whole box of Christmas ribbon, we started to look for a dog walker so that we could leave him in his crate. We asked around and looked at different web sites, made a few phone calls for comparison. To our dismay, almost every single service we called requested a minimum number of times a week at consistent times. This leads us to our second problem, although I work regular hours, my husband, a police officer, definitely did not. So he was switching from night to day shifts and then would switch back to night shifts. Even now, his schedule is still in flux, so we could not commit to regular times and days because we didn't know what our schedule would be from week to week."
"Then we spoke with Jordan of Petaholics - BIG SIGH of relief. We were in a unique situation and he was willing to go the extra mile to see if someone could walk our pup. And whenever we frantically call or e-mail Jordan or Christine, they are there for us and willing to help. We have not been disappointed once. Our walkers have not only helped us out on short notice, but from the wonderful progress reports they leave, we know they genuinely care for Gibbon and he is so well taken care of. Our only regret is that we didn't find them sooner!" - email Jazmin and Jerry
"I am pleased to recommend Jordan Kaplan and his company, Petaholics. Jordan and his staff have walked my dachshund, Rufus, for a few years and they have proven to be kind, trustworthy, and extremely reliable. Jordan is also a dog trainer and has done a great job with teaching Rufus a few important tricks! His web site, www.petaholics.com, is also user-friendly and very helpful. I would not hesitate to refer Jordan and his team to anyone who cares about their pet." - Justin Loeber
"I cannot recommend the services of Petaholics highly enough. Our new baby bulldog, Sophie, is an adorable ball of naughty energy, and she just loves her visits with Jaime and Joy through the Puppy Pilot Program Now she has someone to play and socialize with during the day when Mark and I are at work, and she might actually be learning some manners to boot!"
"Bulldogs are a very specialized breed, with often significant medical issues and other requirements. I feel completely comfortable leaving our "baby" in Jaime and Joy's capable hands, knowing that if any problem were to arise, it would be handled speedily in the appropriate manner." - Mary Rodgers
"We are moving to Chicago in mid-February, and this will probably be our last trip before then. I really appreciate all you guys have done for us, and I don't know how I'm going to find another fabulous and reliable pet sitter . The cats will definitely miss you guys ! I will try to take some pictures of the cats before next week, so you have those, and feel free to stop by anytime before we leave if you want to see the cats again. - Erin
"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how happy my wife and I (and of course our puppy Caitlyn) are with Petaholics and Caitltn's dog walker, Natasha Brown. We all very much appreciate the dedicated service of your company and Natasha. In as much as both my wife and I work we are especially grateful for Natasha's flexibility and assistance in taking Caitlyn to the groomer and to the veterinarian."
"Additionally, we also know how happy Caitlyn is to see Natasha every day. Do not hesitate to use me as a reference for your company." Thanks again. - Lee A. Forlenza, Esq., Granoff, Walker & Forlenza, P.C. .
"The best thing about Petaholics is the peace of mind you get knowing that your pet will never go without care. When our dog walker got sick unexpectedly, Jordan personally met me at the office to grab a set of keys so that he could take care of Teddy. We can go to work confident that Teddy will get the attention a 7 month old puppy needs during the day. And when he hasn't been feeling well, Katie has taken the time to clean him up and let us know immediately so that we can could the vet. She even offered to take him to get checked out if needed. Katie has been conscientious in her care for Teddy and I know that Teddy responds well to her daily visits."
"It's great to come home at the end of the day and read the notes about Teddy's afternoon walk and know that he had a great time. Without Petaholics we would have found it difficult to welcome this new little guy into our lives! - Talbot Logan, VP, Wholesale Marketing, Polo Menswear and Ralph Lauren Women's
"Petaholics is the only dog-walking, pet-sitting service I know that is proactive, follows-through, professional-to-the-bone and super friendly! Keeping me informed and up-to-date with email reminders about upcoming holidays, key-services or fees, makes me more relaxed about dealing with them because I know in advance what to expect. This professionalism gives me confidence as opposed to other companies or individual walkers who tell me about fees or schedule changes "after the fact." It has also been a great surprise to find the walkers I've met to be extremely friendly, accommodating and caring towards my pets. The memo pads are the icing on the cake-- what an adorable touch to come home and read a little "report" on how Teddy's walk was!" - Courtney J. Pulitzer
"Working in finance can mean many long nights at the office and unscheduled delays in getting home to walk the dog. Petaholics came to the rescue by offering an affordable service staffed with trustworthy people. They were able to handle my last-minute email requests without a hiccup. I recommend Jordan and his team to look after your much loved (but oftentimes lonely) pet." - Chris Vincent
"I am one of those paranoid people who does not like people I don't know in my apartment; however, I do have a cat and it got to the point where I just couldn't keep bothering my friends to feed her when I was away. Besides, I also wanted someone to spend some time with her if I happened to be away for an extended period of time. Virginia, my cat sitter from Petaholics, was the best thing that could have happened to me and my cat (Emma). I remember the first time Virginia stayed with Emma, and I came back from vacation, Emma was so relaxed and happy (usually she would be agitated when I returned). Virginia totally exceeded my expectations, and I think she takes better care of Emma than I do... although that's kind of embarrassing to say. Not only was she reliable and a true cat-lover, but she also gave me some tips on how to make Emma a bit less skittish... I call Virginia "the cat whisperer." All I can say, is that it is much better to have a real animal person tend to your pet than a friend. I believe that the people at Petaholics pick their employees with great care, and I highly recommend their services." - Joanne Strasser
"We love Petaholics! Jordan, the owner, has treated us very well and he made sure we had the best care for our puppy, Rory. Kate, our dogsitter, has helped us raise Rory and is reliable and trustworthy. We really appreciate this, as we both work fulltime and could not have left Rory alone all day.Thanks Petaholics, thank goodness for you guys!!!" - Joseph and Melanie Scarpati
"We will happily recommend Petaholics to our friends. Paulette has been such a blessing and you and your company really are A+. I couldn't have been happier."" - Rebecca, Akiva and Fizz Goldsman, Film Producer and Screenwriter
"I would like everyone to know that Jordan Kaplan and Petaholics is the best thing that ever happened to us and our dog. We went through the 7 week training program with Jordan and it was just amazing. Every week, we could see Bigshow just learning everything that Jordan had to teach. We'll never forget the class on the "down" command. Seeing Bigshow slowly move his head down until he was fully laying on the floor was incredible. The techniques that Jordan uses are so simple and easy, which made our pup get them every time. There was not a single class that Bigshow couldn't learn the command within the hour. Aside from the actual classes, Jordan was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and giving us plenty of helpful tips. We would HIGHLY recommend the Petaholics training classes for any puppy! Thanks again!" - Will, Tracy and Bigshow
"My eleven year old special needs cat, Winston, and I moved to New York about two years ago. I travel alot and not really knowing anyone in New York to look after Winston I needed to find a pet sitting service that would make sure Winston got the twice daily care he needed. After all, Winston is family in every way. After interviewing several different sitting services I found Petaholics and have used them ever since. They are wonderful. From the moment you send an e-mail requesting service Christine responds promptly to set up times and dates. Our favorite sitter, Josko, is professional and compassionate in taking care of Winston (basically he's just awesome with animals). If anything has changed with Winston's care Josko will come over before I leave to go over new medicine, food, etc. to make sure he knows exactly what Winston needs. I leave town not worrying about my "baby". Josko even goes the extra step of giving me his cell phone number to let me check on Winston while I'm gone." Petaholics is prompt, professional and compassionate. I will continue to use them again and again and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends or colleagues." - Christina Hunt
"I have found Petaholics to be a great dog walking service!! I would highly recommend them to anyone no matter what kind of dog you have. I have a very sweet dog but she can sometimes be a little difficult to walk, the walker from Petaholics has been great with her and I have had no problems!! I have tried other dog walkers but have found them to not be as reliable as I would like. Petaholic has been walking "my baby" for a few months now and they have never missed or cancelled a walk. When I come home I can tell my dog is tired and enjoyed her walk!! Jordan the owner is great at communicating and really works with your schedule, plus the online payments through Paypal are great!!" - Ashlee Addison
"I've been using Petaholics for almost three months and have found Jordan's service to be professional and reliable. Casey, who walks my puppy Ollie, is clearly a dog lover and gives him the same care and attention on his walks as I do. She's even been working with him on stopping and sitting at red lights until he's told to cross the street! She leaves me a detailed account of every walk, and Ollie is a happy pup every day when I get home! Don't know what I would do without Petaholics!!" - Carly Brooks
"I would absolutely recommend Petaholics to anyone in need of pet-walking/sitting services. I am so lucky to have someone who aside from doing a fantasic job, actually cares for the well-being and happiness of Teddy. Even my doorman comments on how amazing Josko is with Teddy! I never worry about Teddy when he is in the care of Petaholics." - Brooke Sirota
"The Petaholics pet sitters always go above and beyond for my dog, Homer. Spending extra time with him, sticking to his specific schedule and providing me with a detailed daily account of each visit. One of his overnight sitters even baked him doggie-cupcakes. Needless to say he was very happy and so was I." - Matt Cicci
"Petaholics have been looking after my cat Harry for over a year now. They are always reliable and go the extra mile to make sure he's a happy cat when I'm away. They feed and play with him, and stick to their commitments. I can tell, because every time I come home after a trip, I'm greeted by a happy cat and not a cranky one! So if you want to be greeted by a happy pet upon your return home, I highly recommend Petaholics." - Huw Daniel, President Platinum Guild International
"My husband and I moved to Manhattan in October of 2005. This relocation from a Boston suburb presented not only a shift in our lifestyle, but aslo a big change in the day to day life of our nine year old clumber spaniel, Chloe. In order to keep Chloe active and amused, I contacted Jordan at Petaholics in the hopes that his company would be able to provide Chloe with a good walk and reliable companionship on a daily basis while my husband worked and I explored new career opportunities. From October of 2005 through April of 2006, Jordan was highly attentive to our needs for Chloe and responded promptly and effectively to emails and voicemails. Jordan's walkers treated Chloe with kindness and I know that she looked forward to her daily walks with them. Being able to trust that Chloe would recieve great care on a daily basis allowed my husband and I to not worry about the time we spent away from her during the day and maximize the time we shared with her in the evenings and on the weekends. I am very thankful to Petaholics for the high level of service it provided during this period of transition for us and for Chloe." - Daphne Smith-Naylor
