Eva's Play Pups

I read the reviews of her company and they are not wrong. Eva is wonderful. She truly loves and understands dogs and cares for the dogs that she looks after as though they are her own. Equally as impressive is her care for safety. Each morning, my dog wears an orange collar and scarf that Eva provides to all her dogs so that she can spot them in a crowd and if they are lost. Her collar provides her number so that she can be contacted. She is punctual, careful and always happy to provide progress reports. I feel very lucky that my dog is in such good hands. Thank you Eva. more

I have used Eva and her people for day care for years. I use the pick up and drop off service and it really works for me. They pick up Charlie between 8-9:30ish Mon-Fri and they drop him off around 6-ish.... At drop off, they put down his dinner. I have a really busy work schedule and this arrangement has made it possible for me to keep a happy dog in NYC. Eva and Sofie are super nice as is Edith who has picked up my boy for last 5 years I think.... They are responsible and always inform me when there are issues such as kennel cough going around... or running late.... Charlie loves the place which is clear when I drop him off for boarding... he runs into play room and is gone in a heartbeat!! I hope they open up a place in Park Slope one of these days but if not... I will just stick with the Williamsburg location Pros: Nice staff, RESPONSIVE OWNERS Cons: location in Williamsburg (I live in Park Slope) more

I have been a client of Eva's and Sofia's for many years. They took care of my old man for the last two years of his life when he needed special care and patience. They were great; carrying him up and down stairs, expressing his bladder... They went above and beyone. Now they are taking care of my young and crazy pup, Rufus and I could not be happier!!! He goes for AM Play Group in Prospect Park, takes walks and goes to day care at their day care facility. I work alot and this service is keeping my young pup happy and calm!! Eva also helped with recall training when my dog is off leash and that was super helpful since I want to go hiking up state with my dog on weekends. I am lucky that I found Eva and her sister years ago to help with my pups!! Could not recommend them higher... Pros: Reliable and friendly more

Allie from Eva's Play Pups watched my cats for two days while I went on vacation. I was worried, because it was so hot outside, and I wanted to make sure my cats have enough water and the litter was scooped and not smelly in the heat. Allie came and left notes both days letting us know that she came, and the services she provided. I would totally use Eva's again. Its always a little scary having someone new come into your house and take care of your pets while you're away, but I trust them and think they did a good job. Pros: Came and left informative notes more

I took my dog there bc I read all those great reviews. I was sure everything would go well, but it turned out to be the let down of the year. First of all, the client orientation is horrible: I emailed them - no response, I called them and left a couple of messages - no response. I finally got to talk to somebody and we made an appointment to screen the dog. The guy who screened my dog was very nice and friendly and he seemed to enjoy what he was doing. We decided to board my dog for three days. When I picked him up, he had a pretty big open wound in his nose. I asked the guy there what happened and he told he ""I dont know"" in a kind of do-not-bother-me tone. Then somebody came and gave me an explanation and put some ointment on my dogs nose. I understand that things happen, especially when it comes to dogs: they play, they roll over, etc. What I do not understand is that nobody told me anything about my dog getting hurt: no explanation, not even ""we are sorry we will try to avoid this in the future"". The fact that they did not say anything to me not only bothered me but also made them appear like they were trying to hide it from me. After these 3 days there, my dog had stomach problems for more than 24 hours...I will not take my dog there again :-(((( more

I love Eva's Play Pups!! I have used Eva and her staff for boarding and day care for the last 3 years and I am very happy! I love the fact that the staff is stable; Eva and her sister Sofia of course, Tyber, Sondra, Shakeina and Keenan have been there for as long as I have been coming there and they are all friendly and they know my dog Bisquit well. Bisquit loves to come there - he just leaves me behind and jumps into the play room when we arrive. I also love the fact that he gets walked several times per day when he is boarding and doing day care. I also send him for off leash play groups in Prospect Park several times per week and it is wonderful! My dog gets to run off leash with his friends and swim (while I am slaving away at the office!!) and he loves it! Eva films his escapades and puts it on youtube so I can live vicariously through my boy!! I could not do without Eva's services! I love it! Pros: Fun and different services, friendly and stable staff Cons: Nothing I can think of more

When I lived in Park Slope, I would send my dog to off leash play with Eva and the crew every morning and then for a walk in the afternoon (I have very long days at work!!) and it was great! On the occasional day off, I would join them in the park and let me tell you, those girls have their stuff together!! They really do a good job supervising the dogs and playing with them. When I moved to Williamsburg, I was upset about loosing the off leash play group in the morning, but fortunately Eva continues to pick up my pooch every morning for running and swimming in Prospect Park!! It is the best! I like Eva's Play Pups indoor day care just fine, but my big guy needs to run outside as much as possible and that he gets with Eva and the crew every morning. I still use her Williamsburg team for afternoon walks and Edith is wonderful!! and the full day care is great for boarding... When he boards I pay extra and Eva brings him to Prospect Park for his am romp Mon-Fri!! Best service in town!! Only service in town that offers off leash running and playing as far as I know. Pros: Off leash playgroups offered in Prospect Park, honest, reliable and very good with dogs! Cons: Nothing more

I have used Eva's for day care and dog walking for a couple of years now and I am a very happy client! I usually drop off my dog and he goes running for the door, ready to play. The staff is friendly and they know me and my boy, Walter well. He always come home tuckered out! I also send him to am play group in Prospect Park a couple of times per week and that really is the best!! He gets to run and play off leash, swim in the summer and he just LOVES it! You can see movies of my boy and his friends running and playing on u-tube.... Alot of fun!! Eva, Sofia or Tyber always return my phone calls or e-mails when I have a question or last minute request... My walker Andrew is wonderful and the backup staff is also very nice. I compared their prices to other services and Eva's is a good deal, cheaper than most services in the city (but only in price! ) A great service! Pros: Friendly knowledgable staff, outdoors activities, 24-hour staffing more

I left my dog with Eva's for 2 months this summer and it was really great. I kept in daily contact with Eva and her staff via e-mail and they gave me updates on my dog's moods. Eva took him to the country on the weekends so he would get away from the busy day care (which he loves by the way) and he would get a chance to hike and swim with her and her pack. It was really great and I felt very happy and calm about his stay at Eva's. I also bring my boy to day care there 2-3 times per week and he always comes home tired and happy. The one thing I would say is that they are always busy but that is obviously because they are good at what they do. I recommend them with all my heart! Pros: Caring owners who are present and involved in the welfare of the dogs Cons: Very busy more

I have been bringing my monster pup to Eva's for about 1 year and I love it. The staff is friendly and they know me and my ""daughter"" well. The staff seem stable which is why I left my former day care... there was alwayts new staff... at Eva's Play Pups I have seen Eva, Sofia, Tyber, Shakeina etc etc for the last year... They are happy and friendly and the dogs there seem happy and friendly. The place always smells clean and best of all when I leave my baby overnight, there is someone there with her all night. I also use them for dog walking and it's edqually good... they always show up, leave notes and since I have a hidden camera in the house, I know they always show up when they say they do and stay the time they say they will. If running late, always a phone call (and it only happened a couple of times in one year) I really recommend Eva's! They are very nice and my dog is happy! Pros: Friendly staff, honest service Cons: Nothing so far more

I have used Eva's Play Pups for the past 8 years for my pet service needs. 8 years ago, Eva and her sister took care of my old dog Hooch. He needed special care and attention and he got it from Eva's! After Hooch passed, they have taken care of my current dog and cat for the last 7 years. Always reliable, show up on time, call or e-mail with any special info I should know of, offer all kinds of services. I am happy to have had them for the last ""almost"" decade to care for my pets. Any issues come up, they respond at once and take care of it.... I highly recommend their services! Pros: Always responsive to concerns and special care needs Cons: Nothing more
