Woofs 'n Whiskers

For nearly 30 years, Woofs 'n Whiskers has been a trusted pet care facility and an integral part of Brooklyn, serving generations of pet owners across neighborhoods such as Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Park Slope, DUMBO, and surrounding areas. What began in the 1990s as a small, family-run dog-walking service has evolved into a full-service pet retreat, built on care and a strong connection to the community. In 2004, the original location was turned into a welcoming space for pet boarding, daycare, and grooming. Since that time, it has stayed true to its values of comfort, trust, and transparency. With a dedicated team and years of experience, it continues to offer a safe, engaging environment where pets thrive while owners feel secure about the care their animals receive. Each day at the facility is carefully planned to support the well-being of every pet. The flagship location on Coles Street and the newly opened enrichment center on Warren Street are designed to keep pets active, calm, and comfortable. The daily structure is present but flexible, allowing pets to stay engaged without becoming overstimulated or bored, providing a steady rhythm that helps them feel secure. The team considers each pet’s age, size, personality, and comfort level to place them in the most suitable playgroup. Whether a dog enjoys social play or prefers a quieter experience, the staff adjusts activities to meet the needs of each pet so they feel respected and safe during their stay. The opening of Woofs ’n Whiskers, Too! reflects a shift toward enrichment-focused care that aligns with dogs’ instincts. This fully renovated indoor retreat offers a balanced mix of sensory activities and rest, moving away from all-day high-energy play. Dogs rotate through activities that stimulate curiosity while also offering moments for relaxation. Shuttle and drop-off options make it convenient for owners to access specialized care for their pets. The team consists of trained professionals certified in pet first aid and CPR, with many having a strong understanding of animal behavior. They remain calm, observant, and responsive to each pet’s needs while maintaining a safe environment. Clear and open communication with owners is a priority, providing updates on any health or behavioral changes that may occur during a pet’s visit.
