Praise

Rebecca watched my three babies while my husband and I were away for our honeymoon.
We had never left our dog, Darla, for more than a day and we were really worried at first but as soon as we saw how good she was with her, we stopped worrying. She was so loving and wonderful with all of our animals and after two weeks, I'm not sure they wanted her to leave! I will never have to seek out another pet sitter as long as she is around!

From the first day that I started using Brian’s Buddies for my pit-bull Trixie, I saw a difference in my dog. Aside from being true animal lovers, they sincerely care about my dog as if she were their own. The care they give is personalized to meet your dog’s needs. My baby girl is older and overweight but since her walks with BB, she has made so much progress and is a happier, healthier dog. I am totally at ease when she is in their care. She is so happy to see them and tired when she's done. A tired dog means a happy dog. Thank you so much BB!

My pack was so ecstatic with their walk today...they are still very tired from this morning.
Brian's Buddies is a true blessing ...I am so glad I heard about Brian's Buddies. King, Frankie, Buddy and Teddy are over the moon. I can't wait for you to take my babies out again. I waited anxiously like any mother would and was so delighted to hear all about their walk. You were very informative and made me feel at ease. I was so pleased to hear about their outing and also felt in one hours time that you knew all of their personalities. We love you xoxo you're awesome and we can't wait for the next walk.

That's a terrific photo of Rusty!
Look at him grinning at you. He's spilling over with love and delight. Mona's just lounging enjoying the breeze and the fact you're keeping Rusty off her! LOL! I got a kick out of seeing them in the group walk photo. Rebecca, it looks like you're a great pet photographer too! My coworkers have noticed I am much calmer at my job. I am sure it's because I am not worrying about the dogs being alone during the long work-days because you take them for afternoon group walks. Making my dogs happy makes me a happier and calmer government employee!!

We are so thankful that we found Brian's Buddies. With our hectic schedules, we were concerned about finding a reliable, trustworthy dog walker on Staten Island for our great dane Nyla. We definitely found that and more in Brian's Buddies. They even gave us tips and helped us with Nyla as she gets house destructive when she is left alone. Nyla loves Rebecca and Mario and when we have long days at work we know she is in great hands because they take her on such great adventures in the neighborhood. Our neighbors have even complimented their services. All for a price you can't beat. Thank you guys!

Brian's Buddies came into our lives just at the right time. Our dog, Baxter, was 10 years old in March 2011. Rebecca and Mario are very intuitive and kind about Baxter's needs as an aging dog and it is particularly reassuring to me that they are certified in pet first aid. I am secure in knowing that if I will need to be home to receive a package or what not I can arrange with Brian's Buddies to take Baxter out. I cannot praise Brian's Buddies enough. My husband and I are very grateful for their professionalism.

My two dogs are a handful. Rebecca and Mario do a great job with them. Since they started walking them they have improved greatly. After each walk they text us how the walk went. Me, my wife and my dogs would highly reccomend them to everyone.

In one word, Rebecca and Mario are FANTASTIC! They are warm, caring, patient, flexible & responsible dog walkers. I'm extremely satisfied with their service. If I had three thumbs they'd get all 3! LOL
Keep up the great work guys!

My dog Farley is almost never more excited then when his buddy Mario comes to take him for his walk. He always comes home happy & the exercise has been great for his high energy level. We couldn't be happier with the care & service that Mario & Rebecca have both shown.

I met Rebecca over the phone one day, I had just had surgery on my spine and had no one to walk my two dogs Leyla and Rico. Rebecca and her husband Mario came over the same day we spoke. They won my heart as soon as they walked in the door, most of all they won Leyla and Rico's love, Brians Buddies is very professional, reliable and we love them. BRIANS BUDDIES ROCKS!

Rebecca and Mario are AMAZING! We are so lucky to have them as an extended part of our family. MJ, our 3 year old lab/shepherd mix can not get enough of them. We are so glad that they come each week, a few times a week. Prompt, courteous, thoughtful and caring are just a few words to describe them. With detailed reports daily, treats and fun Brian's Buddies is the pet service that EVERYONE should be using!! We are so happy that we were referred to them and MJ is a happier dog because of it. Thanks for everything!!

Rebecca and Mario have made an amazing difference in my life! With my late hours and being out of the house all day, my 8 mo Doxie mix Sally was becoming a terror and developed an appetite for my furniture when left alone for the day. Once Rebecca and Mario started working with her, the difference has been astounding. They take her for long walks, give her the exercise that she needs by long walks and play, and I receive detailed progress reports when I get home at night. This is especially helpful for me to continue training Sally at night. Rebecca and Mario are a fantastic addition to helping me raise my puppy. And Sally loves them too! :)

Thanks so much for your help with Foxy!! We can't tell you how much we appreciate it and how certain we felt that she was in good hands. We will definitely get in touch with you again and spread the word to other dog owners that we know.

I am probably the most neurotic dog-mom you will meet, and Rebecca and Mario take care of my baby like she was their own! I moved to Staten Island from Brooklyn in June 2011 and I rescued my Lily in December from the Manhattan ACC. (She was scheduled to die because of a head cold!) At first I was worried about finding the right person to walk her during the day because I work long hours and I just moved into the neighborhood, but with Rebecca and Mario I have no concerns. At two years old, she can be a bit of a handful, still getting over the puppy crazies! But Rebecca and Mario have been working with her and synching up with my trainer's instructions (whom they recommended to me, btw!). And she just absolutely loves them to pieces. ;) Thank you thank you thank you!

Becca and Mario have been excellent with our dogs. They have devoted their time and have given me suggestions that are helpful in many areas. I have been using their service for 6 months. I know them to be honest and reliable. I know that my dogs are in good hands. They even gave up their time one evening to come over and help my daughter and I with some training techniques. They really care about my dogs. It is a passion for them.
We are happy with their service and we will continue to use Brian's Buddies.

Whenever I am stuck at work or going away for the day, I enjoy a sense of relief that my two dogs will receive the care and attention they need from Brian's Buddies. I always say that I have one couch potato and one lunatic. I have peace of mind that Becca and Mario understand and respond to the individual needs of my dogs in a professional manner.

A couple of times I have needed the services of Brian's Buddies on very short notice. As long as she is available, Becca is happy to oblige.

It is obvious that Becca and Mario are animal lovers and that Brian's Buddies is committed to providing exceptional service to the community. Staten Island is lucky to have them. I recommend them highly and would personally like to thank them and I am sure that Lulu and Scruffy would like to thank them, too!!!

We cannot say enough how happy we are with Rebecca and Mario. They were recommended to us and took excellent care of our dog Penny -- who is very spoiled!!! We were sent email updates along with pictures which made us feel at ease. We will in the future be using Brian's Buddies.

Thank you Brian's Buddies! My husband and I were a little nervous about going on vacation only one month after introducing a second cat into our home. However, daily updates and pictures from Rebecca and Mario put us at ease. They did a wonderful job and it is obvious that they care about what they do. Rebecca and Mario always made sure our boys got the care and attention they needed. We travel a lot and it is so nice to know we no longer have to worry about finding a pet-sitter. Brian's Buddies is the best!
