Pet Care Services
For nearly 30 years, Woofs 'n Whiskers has been a trusted pet care facility and a steady presence in Brooklyn, serving generations of pet owners in Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, DUMBO, and nearby neighborhoods. It began in the 1990s as a small, family-run dog-walking service and has evolved into a full-service pet retreat, focusing on care and community connection.
In 2004, the original location was transformed into a place for pet boarding, daycare, and grooming. Since then, it has stayed true to its values of comfort, trust, and transparency. With a dedicated team and years of experience, it continues to provide a safe environment where pets can thrive while owners feel confident in the care being provided.
Each day at the facility is carefully planned and organized. The flagship location on Coles Street and the enrichment center on Warren Street are designed to help pets remain calm while also staying active. The daily structure provides flexibility, ensuring pets are neither overstimulated nor bored, and offers them a routine that brings comfort and stability during their stay.
Each pet’s age, size, personality, and comfort level are taken into consideration when placing them in a group that suits their needs. Whether a dog enjoys playing with others or prefers a quiet day, the staff adjusts activities to match each pet’s comfort, helping them feel safe and respected.
The opening of Woofs ’n Whiskers, Too! reflects a move toward enrichment-based care built around dogs’ instincts. This updated indoor space shifts away from constant high-energy play and offers a schedule with sensory activities and time for rest. Dogs participate in activities that encourage them to explore while also providing moments of calm and relaxation. Shuttle and drop-off services are available for owners seeking a personalized care experience for their pets.
The team consists of trained staff certified in pet first aid and CPR, with many members also possessing knowledge of animal behavior. They stay observant and calm, understanding each pet’s needs while maintaining a safe environment. Communication with owners is clear, providing updates on any changes in behavior or health during a pet’s stay.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company continued to operate, knowing that pets and their owners still needed care. A donation program was established to support first responders and their families who face financial challenges in covering daycare expenses. The company also collaborated with others to provide emergency shelter for pets when owners were hospitalized. It later expanded this support to help domestic violence survivors by offering temporary care for their pets.
The company values its role in the community, working with local programs to provide job training and employment opportunities, including those for individuals with developmental disabilities. Staff and leadership remain actively involved in community efforts, supporting adoption events and animal welfare initiatives that align with their mission.
Woofs 'n Whiskers views pet care as a commitment to pets and their owners, providing regular updates and ongoing support so owners always know how their pets are doing. Woofs N Whiskers remains dedicated to offering a safe and caring environment where pets feel secure and owners trust the care their companions receive.
