Client Testimonials:

Here's what pet owners had to say.

"It's hard to imagine life without Mike and BK Paws and Play. Mike first started walking my dog Aero in 2013. Never misses a walk, never has any issues. But he is much more than a dog walker. He is an elite trainer for my dogs and a great teacher for me as their owner. In 2015, my wife and I took in a second dog, Ruby, a rescue pit who was literally right off the street. Mike was there that same afternoon, ready to help us adjust to this new crazy life with a second dog. He is also great with our dogs on vacations, always flexible and ready to take on anything. I am so happy that he and Trista have taken their business to the next level, because more conscientious, dog-loving people like me ought to benefit from the incredible service they provide. I cannot recommend BK Paws and Play highly enough, and I do so emphatically whenever I can."

"Mike has been our dog's lifeline and home away from home since my boyfriend adopted him in 2013. Beyond the peace of mind of knowing our little guy will be in the safest and most capable hands whenever we're away or unable to give him his afternoon walk, Mike has been an invaluable educational resource on dog behavior, training, and better understanding the world through a dog's eye. Plus, he'll send you the cutest and most heartwarming pictures and texts of your pup while you're gone! We're very lucky to have Mike in our lives."

"We have been using BK Paws and Play for the last 5 years. They are INCREDIBLE with all of our dogs and have become a part of our family in a big way.

They provide incredible love, exercise, training and COMMUNICATION. We always get pictures of walks, updates on dogs behavior, health and happiness. They are skilled at dog training as well and were immensely helpful in helping us out when we rescued an abused, aggressive staffordshire terrier and needed to integrate him into our pack.

I trust BK Paws and Play with my home, family and my dogs - which is great because they are one of the more affordable services in the area. Without them we would never be able to travel, we would never have been able to adopt and rehab our third dog and we definitely would not enjoy worry free days when we have to be at work or away from home for long periods of time.

THANK YOU to the team at BK Paws and Play - we HIGHLY recommend them."

"BK Paws and Play are the best! They are great with my two little dogs, both of whom can be a real challenge on the leash. They are the only people I trust to dog-sit when I'm away, I know they are attentive and genuinely loving of all the animals they care for. Highly recommended!"

-Rachel

"BK Paws and Play has been walking my rescue pitbull since September! I absolutely trust Mike & his team to go into my home and walk my fur-baby any day of the week.

He is flexible with my schedule and really has made my transition moving into BK while working Manhattan full time so much easier.

Plus, my pup OBVIOUSLY loves his walks with BK Paws & Play <3

I will recommend them 100x over to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their little bear."

"Mike of BK Paws and Play was my dog walker and cat sitter for the last three years I lived in Brooklyn. Mike is amazing with animals and cares for them like they're his own. He and my older pup, Miles, became the best of friends and Miles ALWAYS enjoyed his walks. Mike is dependable and extremely attentive to details so I always knew Miles was in good hands. After each walk he would send me a detailed note. He also refreshed Miles' water bowl every time and made sure the cats weren't left out so they were given their fair share of treats.
One of the things I miss most about Brooklyn is Mike and his services. Maybe one of these days he'll expand his business to The A but until then I'll be cheering him on from down here and referring any of my Brooklyn folks with furry friends his way."

-Karyn

"We've been using Mike and BK Paws and Play for the past 4 years. I honestly don't know what I would have done without them due to me just having a baby and adopting a crazy dog 4 years ago. I totally trust them with Talley (our dog) and most of importantly, Talley totally trusts and loves them; I have observed the excitement that overtakes my dog when they come to pick her up to attest to this. I would, without a doubt, recommend BK Paws and Play for anyone's pet care needs."

-Kara

"Mike is incredibly reliable and has saved us on short notice more times than I can count. Our pit bull Darby loves him and even gets to meet some of the other dogs on walks sometimes. Additionally, he always adds water to the bowls and checks in on our kitties as well. I'd happily recommend his services to anyone in the neighborhood!"
