Doogie Stays

Michelle and her mother are fantastic dog sitters! They take such great care of Simba, always making sure he’s well-loved and happy. From walks to playtime, they understand exactly what he needs and keep him entertained. Simba always comes home relaxed and content after staying with them. It’s clear they have a genuine affection for him, and I couldn’t ask for better sitters! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible, caring dog sitters.

I have been boarding my dog, Simba, here for a while and I couldnt be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, Michelle and her mother were incredibly welcoming and attentive. They took the time to get to know Simba, ensuring he felt comfortable and at ease. I LOVE how attentive and responsive they are at any moment and receiving updates and photos during his stay, which reassured me that he was having a great time. Simba came home happy and well-cared-for, which speaks volumes about the care he received.I HIGHLY recommend to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and loving environment for their furry friends. We have been coming back time and time again for the past 2 years.

I found Michelle and her mom after my dogs daycare closed down. I can’t express how incredible they are!!! I have crazy schedule and they are always extra accommodating. My dogs love going there. Whether is for few hours, full days or for extended periods they ensure my babies are taken care of. You see the love they have for my babies. I definitely recommend them to anyone. If I need to drop them at 6am they are available. If I am running late they are available. Going on vacation they are available!!! They are super dog lovers!!

Had a horrible experience with these people. Left my dogs there for 3 days they called me 6am the first morning to come get the dogs because he was barking and they couldn’t sleep. The person I met was not the person who watched the dogs. My dog doesn’t bark so there was something wrong and making him uncomfortable. Either way the person who contacted me in the morning telling me I had to come get them was extremely rude and nasty. Don’t ever trust these people with your dogs. There are plenty of responsible dog sitters out there. Stay away from these people.

Michelle was great, our dog loved being there. She was very accommodating with everything and our dog Jack enjoyed his stay with her and her family.

Michelle has taken care of my dog Max for over a year now. He adores Michelle and her whole family. She always updates me regularly when hes in her home and he comes home happy. She is very prompt in her responses and makes sure to message me back right away, which is very important and a major reason I feel comfortable with her as my dog sitter. Her personality and good attitude is a bonus, as she is very friendly and personable. I would recommend Michelle to anyone I know without a doubt of hesitation. Thank you Michelle!

Michelle and her aunt did great with my lil old angry guy !!! I appreciated them soooo much I wanted him to stay home so they came directly to me and it all went well

Michelle has taken care of both my dogs Pepper and Stacy for over two weeks and I cannot feel more happy with her services. She has informed me daily on their progress and how they are doing and honestly this is the first time that they were left home alone so I was very skeptical but in her care I never had to worry about anything!I definitely recommend her services to everyone and I will see her in a couple of weeks!

Our pup Monty had a great time with Michelle! She was very sweet with our girl from the beginning and made us feel totally at ease. Monty surely has no critiques except to probably stay longer. I would have loved some more picture updates as it was our first time really leaving her but Michelle was so flexible and communicated a lot over text which was greatly appreciated. Can’t wait for her next stay!

I should’ve believed the negative reviews and NOT booked Michelle to care for my dog. Just like the previous reviewer said, Michelle was unresponsive to our texts during the 10 nights she cared for our dog. We are also convinced that he did not get the proper care as promised. When we got him back, his fur was stained with pee. The only way for this to be possible is that he was sitting in his pee for a prolonged amount of time. This has NEVER happened to him. Now we have to take him to a professional dog wash to hopefully clean his stained fur and get rid of the obnoxious smell. On top of that, he was not his happy self when we picked him up. Would 100% not recommend. Go to a professional doggy day care and save yourself the trouble!

I had a very good experience leaving our Baby (my Maltese puppy’s name) under her care. Michelle was very professional, responsive and friendly. She updated me with his pictures and she loved him like her own. My Baby normally barks to strangers, but with Michelle he’s suddenly so calm. It’s amazing! She’s like a dog whisperer.😆 I will definitely use her service again in the future.

Michelle was accommodating and took good care of my golden Rex, she even provided me with updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her.

Michelle and her family were amazing people. They took very good care of my 1 Year old dog. Although I asked last minute about having my dog she had responded to me very fast and was very understanding of my situation and took in my dog. I really appreciate her and would definitely recommend anyone looking for a good dog boarder. Thank You again Michelle and Family!

Riley and Luna came to Doogie Stays for a week and I don’t trust a lot of people with my dogs. They are like my children and I could see that Michelle really has a passion for what she does. My dog has alot of medication and she was very careful with their needs and their schedule. I know myself that my dogs are a handful and she kept them in such a good care the same care I keep them in! Thank you Michelle once again and we will visiting you again on our next trip!

My husband and I dropped our dogs off with Michelle for a weekend. She was very polite, responsible and professional. She kept us updated on their walks and playtime’s and sent us pictures! I would highly recommend. It’s nice knowing that your pups are in good hands while your away. We will def use her services again :)

Michelle took care of my pug as if he was his very own!She is very trustworthy and I definitely recommend her to anyone!She sent me pictures of how my dog was doing!And I absolutely adore her for that!!Thank you so much Michelle for your great care for my Messi!!

Michelle was great. I felt very comfortable leaving my 11 year old at her home. She has 2 dogs of her own to keep our fur baby company as well! Took her on walks and always quickly responded to my texts with videos and picture updates. Will definitely be using Michelle again in the future.

Dropped my most caring loving gentle beagle off for 5 days. During that time it was very difficult to get in touch with Michelle. I would text message only to receive an answer several hours later. I am convinced she works a full time job somewhere else, and the pets are not properly cared for as promised. Now to the reason. When we picked up our dog, she was literally not the same. She was panting constantly and seemed more nervous of our daily routines and activities. We let 2 day go by, then decided we needed a veterinary checkup. We traveled to NYC Animal medical center Schwartzman to get her checked. We heard they are a world renowned facility, specializing in every aspect of animal care. The diagnosis was post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). What in the world went on in this private house to cause this we asked? War? Going forward, We would not even consider boarding a house plant at this place. They leave the dogs in a crate for hours and hours at a time in that small house, with little or no interaction.No thank you.

Michelle was so great with our family dog Pookie who is 11 years. He has never been away from our family, so we were worried about how he would do. She was so loving to him, and sent pictures and updates on how he was doing throughout the day. I highly recommend her. You can tell she loves animals and a real passion for taking the best care of your dog. Pookie thanks you for a great experience, as well as we do.

I had my 4mo puppy Scout stay with Michelle over the 4th of July weekend. She was great- very flexible and gave daily updates of my puppy so I could see how she was doing! Would definitely recommend her to a friend and I am looking forward to having Scout hang with Michelle at Doogie Stays sometime in the future!

I was nervous boarding my 5 months old golden doodle for the first time while I’m going away for 4 days. Michelle was responsive and accommodating. Choosing doggy stay was the best decision. My Maui had a blast, it’s like vacation for him. Highly recommended!

My one year old shollie Max stayed with Michelle for an overnight stay. I felt very comfortable leaving Max with her during my business trip and she did a fantastic job. She promptly responded whenever I reached out to her and I appreciated her quick and timely updates. Will definitely be using Doogie Stays again in the near future when I need someone to take care of my dog.

Michelle was referred to me by a friend. I left my 14 month golden doodle with her for the weekend. I was really nervous leaving him as this was his first time away from us. She kept me up to date on how he was doing. We got pictures and videos of him through out the weekend. It made me comfortable to know he was ok and in good hands. We will be using Michelle again in the near future.

Michelle watched my dog Buddy for the weekend and he came back really happy! She sent me pictures and updated me promptly. He didnt even want to leave her house when I picked him up. Will definitely use Michelle again!

We feel that our 4 months old Golden Retriever(Scooby) enjoyed his first overnight stay with Michelle so much that, he didnt want to leave. She was very flexible with time, communicative and reliable. She took good care of our pup. Id certainly use them again in the near future.

Michelle has been watching my dog, Louie for 7 months now when I have to go out of town for the weekend once every few weeks and she is truly the best pet sitter anyone could ask for!She is very responsive to texts, sends me updates & pics of my dog while Im away, very caring & loving to all the dogs that Ive seen at her place and most importantly, she always took good care of my dog and always accomodated all my boarding needs & requests, which I appreciate so much!She is also the only person I would trust with my dog because I had some not so good experiences with his previous sitters. I highly recommend Michelle for all your petsitting and boarding needs!

I am posting this review on behalf of my parents who used Doggie Stays for their yellow lab. The below message was written by my mother:Thank you Michelle for making Missy’s first experience at Doggie Stays such a positive one. Michelle sent pictures and texts to keep us posted as to how Missy was doing. Missy looked very comfortable and happy with Doggie Stays. We would not hesitate to use Michelle again to watch our precious pup.

I dropped of 9 week old Labradoodle with Michelle today. I really appreciated her texting me an update. I feel that my pup enjoyed her time with Michelle so much that she didnt want to leave! Michelle was very flexible with time as well. I will definitely be a return customer.

It was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone and I had a wonderful experience. I would definitely bring my dog back to stay with Michelle! She even wrote a journal about every day they were together. Overall a 11/10 experience with this company!

I dropped off my 14 weeks old corgi for a day as I had some plans with my kids. Michelle was wonderful and kept me updated with videos. I feel very comfortable and will definitely be using Michelle in the near future!

Michele took care of our 7-month puppy for 11 days. He came back hope happy and healthy. She promptly responded to our questions and sent updates with photos. Very recommended service.

I contemplated a lot before writing this review, really dont want to bad-mouth anyone. I had a terrible experience with Michelle. With all the raving reviews she has gotten, perhaps maybe my bad experience is just the exception and not the rule.... but figured Id write something because I decided on her care based on all the good reviews she got. Long story short, I left my two babies with her over the summer for an overseas ~20 days trip because their trainer couldnt take them for those dates. Unlike the other reviews she did not txt me to update me at all on her own, BUT she did respond whenever i txt her to ask. The first couple days seem good, then she told me they had soft stool and were having accidents in the crate, then she told me they started to bark (which they rarely do in my house), then she txted me to see if theres anyone else can go pick them up because she doesnt know what to do with all the barking. I was out of the country and was freaking out, and had to Google to find another place to come and pick them up. Luckily i found one and the new place sent me a picture of them when they were picked up, and they were in such a mess.... So I really do not know what happened, maybe my dogs and her family just dont click.... which was really a shame because since shes so close to me I was so hoping this place would work...

Michelle watched our fur babies, Fiona and Bentley for 4 days. She did a wonderful job, sent pics and kept us updated. We look forward to using her again.Our family highly recommends her. 😊🐶

Michelle just took care of my baby and she did a great job! I got updates throughout the day and they were so happy to see me! I could see she takes care of them as they are her very own! I’m so glad we found her!

Michelle was fantastic with Apollo, he had such a good time. Will definitely be going to for the future, highly recommend!

My two dogs Bella and Lily have stayed here many times. They have always come home happy and healthy. I’ve tried other places and found Doggie Stays to be the best! The difference is love and care they get there.

My wife and I needed someone to watch our dog late on a Saturday night, and due to COVID, almost no dog sitters were open. But that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because it led us to Michelle. Not only did Michelle agree to watch our dog, Billie, until late at night, but shes some kind of miracle worker. Billie has terrible separation anxiety, and we usually cant get her to leave our side without her barking, whining, and struggling to get back to us. But when Michelle got Billie from our car, Billie was so happy to leave with her that my wife and were almost hurt. Not only was Michelle incredible with Billie, but she was very patient with us. We got delayed coming to pick up Billie, and Michelle stayed up until we got there and still greeted us with a smile.

Michelle just looked after my dog and she did a great job! I was very assured during my trip that my dog was in good hands!Thank you Michelle we will be visiting you again!

Michelle is a great dog sitter and was very responsive to my messages regarding my dog Jaz. She sent me pictures daily and he didn’t even want to go back home when I came backThank you Michelle! See you soon!

Michelle was great after I called last minute to board my hyper puppy for the day! She sent updates via text and is very responsive.Looking forward to use Doogie Stays again!

Michelle took wonderful care of our Havanese, Jordi! She sent us photos and updates and provides a loving environment for your dog! We were able to relax while away knowing Jordi was happy and well cared for!

We have used Michelle for more then a year and she never disappoints us! She’s amazing with my dogs and they always are so happy when they enter thru the door! Thanks Michelle again for your care!

Michelle help us to take care my corgi when we go to vacation at summer time. She really take good care of him. And send text and photos to my kid. Thank you so much.

Best Dog Service in Longisland. I LOVE this place. Best place on earth for dogs! Mitchell and the team always take EXCELLENT care of my dogs. They go every day. Always greeted with a warm smile and open arms. I know my pups are happy and well cared for.

Our dog was neglected and not taken care of properly. After returning from a 10 day vacation we were so upset to find out that he lost significant weight due to diarrhea. Michelle failed to inform us.Not recommend

I feel confident leaving our beloved pooch Charlie with Michelle. She keeps us updated and sends us photos while he’s with her. She’s easy to communicate with and super chill. Thank you!

Thanks to Doogie Stays I was able to leave last minute. Michelle was very responsive and made me very comfortable leaving my baby.Thank you so Michelle for your care!

I contacted Michelle very last minute and I can’t say thank her for the amazing care and help she did for me! My dog was in great care and we will be visiting Doogie Stays back in a month! Thank you Michelle!

Our baby Scarlett was very happy under Michelle’s care . We got daily updates. Will definitely use her services again

My little Louie was so well taken care of, Michelle was wonderful and I definitely recommend her. Thank you so much Michelle and you will be seeing baby Louie again soon.

They took great care of Buddy for a week while I was away. Super nice and accommodating

Michelle has been a great resource for us when we need our pup to have a sitter for a few hours. Highly recommend!

The best! Met Michelle and I was so comfortable. She did a wonderful job. Will always use her.❤

Daisy left Michelle’s care in great hands. Her care and cleanliness is beyond satisfactory!I highly recommend her to anyone!

Michelle is great! She looked after my Lily with great care and love ❤️I highly recommend her and her services!

Michelle is absolutely fantastic and was so helpful in taking care of Alpha! I am very excited to use her services again

A great experience for me and my dog. I got regular updates on my dog, who was very happy from plenty of walks and attention. Id certainly use them again.

My dog Louie stayed by her while I was away and she’s actually a life saver he enjoyed so much and most importantly he was well taken care of 10/10 would recommend

Always ready to help, nice, polite, and careful with the dog. Surprisingly, my dog does not even look back at me when I leave him.

She’s a life saver, from the situation that happen suddenly on my end, she took care of my dog with ease, and kindness. She’s the best 💪🏼

I called Michelle for a last min emergency and she took my Brady in without a problem! She was the best with him and he didn’t even want to leave her door and come back home!Thank you so much Michelle for your amazing care and I will be reaching out very soon!!

Took our dog with very little notice. Sent updates and he seems really happy!

Our one and a half year old puppy, Banner, had a great time with Michelle over the course of a weekend. We were sent pictures and provided updates throughout his time there. Michelle was very accommodating, helpful and really connected with our pup! It is great to feel confident entrusting such a caring professional with our little guy. We are looking forward to his time with Michelle again this upcoming holiday weekend!

Had to board loki the goldendoodle last minute. Michelle did a great job watching Loki and I highly recommend her services. She even took loki to the dog park, which is above and beyond.

I dropped off our dog Pepper for a trial overnight stay to see how she would handle being away from us. Michelle met us at the car and I could tell Pepper would be in great hands. She is very loving and kind. Pepper had a great experience.

Michelle watched for our Ollie (1 year old puppy ) , for a week. it was a great experience ... for him and us. His first time to sleep away from our home and a week without his family .. he had a great time .. played with other friendly dogs, Michele took a great care of him .. it gave us a peace on mind (on our vacation) - he was a safe and also enjoying his doggy play dates . We highly recommend Michelle and her services ...
