The Green Pup

I love taking my dog to The Green Pup, Danielle is the best. She takes great care of my dog and gives me lots of updates on how he’s doing there and how he’s playing. She’s great with clear communication so there’s never any confusion. I’m happy to have a place to take my dog that’s run by such great, caring people

We had a very strange experience at Green Pup. The first few days we took our dog he seemed to be thriving — he’d be exhausted at the end of the day from playing, and he’d literally drag us there in the morning he was so excited to get to doggy day care! But then one day we picked him up and Danielle said he’d gotten in a little spat with another dog and been bitten on the ear so she moved him in with another group. The weird thing was that there was not a single mark on him from this alleged bite. From then on everything changed. He would come home at night full of energy, super hyper, like he’d had no exercise all day. He’d drink TONS of water, like he hadn’t had a drink ALL day. He’d do a huge pee when we’d pick him up like the ones he does in the morning after a full night of not going out. And his behavior changed — he peed on our couch and our bed which he had never done before. He acted aggressive towards other dogs at the dog park when we took him — which he had never done before. We asked Danielle to put him back in with the original dog group and she refused. I have a suspicion that when she said she moved him with another group, she really started crating him all day without water or pee breaks… which would explain his excessive thirst, excessive peeing, and excessive energy. We stopped taking him there, and within 2 weeks his behavior issues stopped and he’s back to the normal, well behaved, loving pup we’ve know for the past year.
After our experience, I now think it’s weird that Danielle will not allow anyone into the back to see the daycare space. And she doesn’t have a webcam like other dog day cares so that you can watch your dog all day.
I know a lot of other people have had a good experience there. And ours started that way — but then it all kind of fell apart.

Our dog Sophie has been boarding with Danielle at The Green Pup for over a year. It has been the best boarding experience in almost 10 years in the city.
Danielle is wonderful about working with our pup, who is a rescue and has severe separation anxiety issues. Instead of passing judgment or refusing service, she offers guidance and constructive advice. She regularly posts pictures and videos on Facebook so we can monitor how Sophie is doing, and is also incredibly flexible if we need to have Sophie stay an extra night or two, for last-​minute grooming, etc. It truly is first-​class care at an extremely reasonable rate.
Although we recently moved about an hour away from The Green Pup, we are continuing to go out of our way to board Sophie with Danielle because we know our dog will enjoy the experience and come out improved from it.

I cannot say enough good things about Green Pup and Danielle, the owner. My dog, a yorkie with major separation anxiety issues, ABSOLUTELY LOVES this place. She has actually never been happier in her life! Danielle takes great care of her and puts her in a group of similar small (and anxious) dogs and it’s like doggie group therapy ;)
Further, Danielle really cares. One night my husband got stuck on the subway underground for 2+ hrs and was unable to pick up our dog. Not only did Danielle call to check on how I was doing (I had no idea where he was and assumed the worst) but she also said, «don’t worry about it. I will take care of your dog.» She fed her and kept her overnight completely free of charge.
Danielle is also a master groomer and has given our dog the best haircuts (that are routinely complimented!) Her prices for grooming and daycare are extremely reasonable, especially for this area!
5 stars is not enough!

Green Pup is a savior for my husband and I and even more so for my pup! my little munchkin tends to be very timid but she just loves Danielle and going into green pup each day! Not only is she happy to arrive she comes home tired and I can tell she is much more active than she was at her previous daycare. Also, she tended to be a person only puppy and was really anxious or standoffish around other dogs, but since going she is much more eager to play with other dogs, even when not at daycare! Last but not least it’s clear that Danielle really loves the dogs, I feel comfortable and confident that my girl is cared for as if she was Danielle’s own pet! Thank goodness we have Danielle and Green Pup nearby!

I have been a client of Green Pup for over a year and have been so happy with the care that my dog receives there. She is groomed, attends daycare 4x/​week with morning pick-​up, and occasionally boards (max. time 2 weeks) when we go out of town.
My dog was a rescue and was terrified of everything around her for several months when she came to us. She started daycare at Green Pup immediately and it made all the difference. My dog has come out of her shell in the most wonderful ways: she is now confident, loving and playful thanks to the lovely, supportive and social atmosphere that Green Pup provides. I feel great sending her off each morning for a full day of playing with all the dogs at the facility (she is part of a small-​dog clique but likes to play with the big dogs, too). Danielle is an excellent dog trainer and will work with your dog on commands, overcoming fears, discouraging unwanted behaviors, etc. as part of the daycare program.
I am always confident boarding my dog at Green Pup. I know that she will be comfortable and well looked after in addition to all of the fun and exercise that she gets each day playing with other dogs. Danielle has great communication skills and has always notified me in a timely manner of any change in schedule due to weather, etc. It has been a great experience all around.

I’ve been bringing my dog to Green Pup for about a year for daycare, boarding & grooming. Throughout that time, Danielle, the owner, has been incredible– she’s taken fantastic care of my dog (understands him– both personality & health– and is super observant & diligent), and she’s gone out of her way to be responsive, flexible, caring (towards both our dog & my family!) & reliable. She takes her business seriously and works tirelessly to do the right thing for her dogs & their families. Having a dog in the city (especially when you work & have a child) is not simple, and I can honestly say I don’t know what I’d do without Green Pup.
My dog was also at Green Pup the night that the shuttle broke down. Danielle was great– she kept me posted on the situation, was super apologetic, kept my dog safe & comfortable, & gave me options (i.e., drop off my dog once the van was back in action or keep my dog overnight). It was exactly the way I would’ve wanted her to handle a tough situation.
Happy to answer questions from potential clients– I recommend Green Pup whole-​heartedly!

Zeus, my soulmate of a dog (poodle mix) loves this place ! Possibly more than he loves me, Danielle is super amazing. I almost want to say as amazing as a female dog whisperer. This establishment is very understanding and they mend to your needs and your dogs needs. My only wish was that I had more income to send Zeus here! Three days a week is not enough. Thank you thank you for the top notch boarding treatment you have shown us !

We have a four month puggle puppy who has way too much energy and is way too social to be left alone when we are at work… we were so happy when we found the Green Pup and met Danielle. She really cares for each of the dogs who stay with her so much, the space (including a safe backyard) is a doggie playground dream, and I can tell each time we bring Luka to spend the day with her how much fun, attention, and exercise he gets there because of how excited he gets when we turn onto the Green Pup’s block. The Green Pup is a great neighborhood resource — one stop for all your dog needs including supplies and overnight boarding — and so lucky to have found it! Thanks, Danielle!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Danielle, the owner, is the greatest — tireless, knowledgeable and reliable. They do pickups & drop offs — my 4 ½ year old Jack Russell mix knows the sound of the car pulling up, he gets so so happy when she comes. And they’re always responsive in case of an emergency. The dogs all socialize together in a huge playroom with an outdoor space. He comes home so tired, all he wants to do is snuggle. 5 paws service!

I have been bringing my dog here for over one year. She is happier than she has ever been! (She’s kind of picky, like me!). She has a great time there every day! Danielle is amazing with every single dog and not only makes sure that they have fun, exercise, and are safe, but she can immediately notice any small signs of distress from each dog. She pays close attention to any changes in the dogs demeanor and discusses with the owner and offers advice on how to proceed. I purchase all of my dog and cat food, treats and toys there, as her prices are very reasonable and she carries great brands, or can usually get what you need. She offers pick up and drop off as well. She has been there for me and for my dog whenever we needed her, Of course, when needed, that is where I board her as well. If you love your pet like I do, and I know that you do! Then you will love all the services offered, and notice the happiness in your pet!

I take my dog here for both daycare and boarding and she absolutely loves it! She plays all day and comes home exhausted. It’s also very convenient, as they offer pick-​up and/​or drop-​off. They do training and grooming and have a retail store as well. I would definitely recommend this place!
