WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

My husband and I have loved and continue to love working with Ann. Dottie May was born with many medical issues and we used to always be so nervous to leave her, until we met Ann! Ann is genuinely very kind-hearted and we can tell she cares for our puppy as if it were her own. Ann not only walks Dottie but she helps train her as well. Because of Dottie’s medical issues, we trained her to use the “wee wee pad.” Ann helped Dottie tremendously in her transition from using the “wee wee pad” to finally going to the bathroom outside. She is now a fully trained pup, thanks to Ann! Ann gives detailed reports and sends adorable pictures. My husband and I look forward to her report everyday. Ann is also very good about keeping her doggy clients safe. Ann is excellent at understanding when a situation at a dog park may seem too aggressive for Dottie. She really understands Dottie’s ability and has no problem keeping her safe and happy. Ann also has no complaints or difficulty about giving our dog medications. Dottie takes 3 medications, twice daily for stomach issues and we can always rely on Ann to give the medications without any issues. Ann is organized, flexible, committed and kind. We are 100% confident in her care and services and we would recommend her to anyone who loves their puppy as much as we love ours.

Hi Aunty Ann! I love you SOOO much! Thanks for always keeping me safe, healthy and happy, even though I can be a tad stubborn! Hehe! I look forward to our walks and our sleepovers! I’m so happy my parents found someone as wonderful as you to take care of me when they aren’t around! You’re my favorite! See you soon! – Love, Dottie

I do not have words to describe how grateful I am for Ann. She is incredibly warm, sweet, genuine, experienced, truly passionate about animals, and trustworthy. I truly do not know what I’d do without her. We have been with Ann from when I first got Einstein. She has helped train Einstein from when he was a puppy, practicing commands with him. At the dog park, she plays with him nonstop, not like other dog walkers I’ve seen who just sit there. This is because she truly loves animals and her love and warmth truly shine through. When Einstein has been sick, she has always been a true life saver and taken him to the vet for me, giving him his medication, whatever we needed! She is incredibly trustworthy, prompt and reliable. She is beyond organized, keeping detailed reports of everything which is so incredibly helpful.

Ann, as you know, I like my naps as I’ve gotten older and I can be a bit lazy sometimes, but I get so excited when you walk through that door. You are so fun to play with and I consider you one of my best friends.

I am so lucky to have Ann & Buddy Time! NYC. Ann has cared for my Boston Terrier Jilly for several years. Ann’s service has enabled me to juggle my busy career, travel, and two years of graduate school without having to sacrifice care for Jilly. Ann is dedicated, reliable, and has a genuine love of animals. I trust Ann implicitly and highly recommend Buddy Time! NYC.

Buddy Time by Ann is an exceptional service – it’s hands down the best care you can find for your beloved dog. Ann... is responsible, honest, caring, compassionate and one of the most considerate people I have ever met. And in New York City, that combination is a rare find. She’s been there for us at every turn. She’s even been able to teach our stubborn but adorable Frenchie new commands. Ann obviously loves dogs, and she treats ours like she’s her own. We’ve known Ann now for several years now, and she’s become part of our family. Trust in Buddy Time. And trust in Ann to be there for you.read more

I have trusted Ann with the care of my dog for nearly seven years. My Boston Terrier, Jilly absolutely loves Ann and... would be terribly disappointed should Ann ever stop working with us. Simply put, Ann is the best. She is kind, trustworthy and has a genuine love of animals. Jilly and I are lucky to have her support! I recommend her without reservation.read more

Ann is the best dog walker I have ever worked with. She is extremely thoughtful and thorough. She makes me feel like... I’m on the walk through her detailed pictures and paragraph about Archie. Ann also has a background in training so she is able to correct my stubborn French Bulldog whenever he is misbehaving. She also makes sure to only walk dogs that get along with one another. Archie found two of his best friends through Buddy Time. Archie and I both love Ann and I am so thankful we found her!read more

I recently moved to NYC with my very large puppy dog. At first I was nervous about how he was going to adjust not only... to being in such a different place as I am from a small town in the south but also to my now full time work schedule. One day shortly after getting to the city I was speaking with an individual about my situation and they recommended I give Ann from Buddy Time NYC a call. I did just that, and it is by far the best decision I have made since moving to the city. From the moment I met Ann all my worries vanished as I could tell she was a kind hearted individual who was going to take care of and love my dog as though he were her own. She comes to walk my dog three days a week, and after a couple months of this routine he now remembers what days she comes and is noticeably happier and more excited those mornings than the others. Especially when I wake up and tell him “today’s an Ann day buddy. Are you excited?” His ears perk up and you can tell he just can’t wait for her to come. I couldn’t be happier with the experience my dog and I have had with her, and if it isn’t clear already, I highly recommend giving her a call. She is absolutely amazing!read more

We moved to the city with XL dog & knew we needed someone reliable, confident & loving for our rescue pup. Ann has... exceeded all expectations, taking our handful pup out to the park 3 days a week. She helps us reinforce good behavior, loves our pup as if he were her own & plays a good game of fetch. We recommend Ann to anyone who has a pup or knows someone with a pup. We are so lucky to have her. When we leave the house we’re sure to tell our pup “it’s an Ann Day!” His ears perk up & it’s easier for us to leave, knowing he looking forward to Ann!read more

We have been using Buddy Time for over a year now and could not be happier. Ann is absolutely phenomenal! I am very... particular about who we leave our pup with but I’ve never once hesitated with Ann. She takes excellent care of our baby and I know that he is always safe with her. She constantly goes above and beyond, consistently exceeding our expectations. Our pup adores her as do we! We are so grateful for Buddy Time and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!read more

Ann is THE BEST around. If you love your pup as much as I do, use buddytime! They are reliable and very compassionate.... My husband and I have a French bulldog who is very high maintenance- health wise and emotionally dependent... Ann makes our pup Dottie feel at ease and safe. Dottie gets so excited whenever Ann comes. Dottie loves going to the park with her! Ann also takes time to train your animals. Ann helped tremendously when we were transitioning Dottie from the wee wee pad to outside. We tell everyone we meet who has a dog, to hire Buddytime! There is no one better to help care for our special pups. Below is picture of Dottie while at the park with buddytime. 🙂read more
