For nearly 30 years, Woofs 'n Whiskers has been more than just a pet care facility—it’s been a trusted part of Brooklyn life. What began in the 1990s as a small, family-run dog-walking service has evolved into a full-service urban retreat that proudly treats your pet like one of the family. Serving a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and exotics—Woofs 'n Whiskers offers personalized boarding, enriching daycare, and high-quality pet supplies. Located in Red Hook with a second enrichment-focused center on Warren Street, the company is dedicated to delivering individualized care that’s grounded in trust, comfort, and transparency. In 2004, the business transformed its original location into a welcoming space for full-service pet care. Since then, it has continued to innovate—creating environments where pets of all species can thrive. Days are structured to balance stimulation and rest, ensuring animals remain calm, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet prefers a quiet nap or playful interaction, the team adapts to their needs with care and sensitivity. The second location—Woofs 'n Whiskers, Too!—represents a shift toward mindful enrichment. Designed around the natural instincts of dogs, it emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and relaxation through sensory-rich activities and thoughtful scheduling. This intentional approach supports overall well-being and emotional balance, setting a new standard for modern pet care. Staffed by certified, compassionate professionals, the Woofs 'n Whiskers team includes individuals trained in pet CPR, first aid, and animal behavior. They carefully observe group dynamics and individual cues, creating an environment where pets feel secure and understood. They also prioritize communication—keeping pet parents informed about behavior, health, and daily experiences. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Woofs 'n Whiskers stayed open to support essential workers and partnered with local shelters and hotlines to provide emergency pet housing. Their ongoing efforts now include support for domestic violence survivors and continued partnerships with organizations like Good Shepherd Services, The Doe Fund, and Job Path NYC to offer job training and employment opportunities.
