New York's Trusted Dog Walkers

Best dog daycare and boarding in NYC! Like many dog owners, one of the most stressful elements of traveling is providing for the wellbeing of my dog while I’m away. With Dogma, any time I leave town, it’s like Rocco is going on a vacation too. He always comes back so happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. The staff is so knowledgable, caring, and communicative. I am particularly grateful for the work Cynthia did with Rocco. When Rocco displayed aggression towards another dog, she worked with him through 4 personalized at-home sessions to help address the root cause of his stress and safely reintegrate him into playing with other dogs. Now, he socializes with confidence and makes friends easily. Five very well deserved stars!

Pretty awesome place! I arrived on a last minute trip to NYC (Soho). This was the only place that would take my dog at such short notice. Unlike the other establishments in the area, I was able to talk to someone who seemed eager to assist me. They were also within walking distance of my hotel. After arriving, I was able to bring my big baby (90 pounds) in for his assessment. They sent me an update during his time there. He seemed to be having the time of his life! Once we picked Zeus up, he seemed happy and upbeat…like he really enjoyed himself. He slept like a baby that night. We will definitely use Dogma when in town with our baby. Thanks again!

i love the great staff and great experience i have dropping her off. i love how happy my pup is when i pick her up. the webcams are also great to watch my dog have fun while she’s there.

Alfonso did a fantastic job grooming, it was our first time here and he thoughtfully took the time to listen to my requests and our dog felt happy and safe in his arms. Front desk staff were all really nice and helpful and my only
regret is not coming here sooner! We will be back for sure! Thank you!

Everyone at Dogma took incredible care of our 2 puppers. One of our dogs has severe anxiety and when we came to pick them up from a grooming they were holding and comforting her. They made everything so easy and they looked great too. Love the bandanas.

Every staff member is warm, loving towards the dogs and always willing to help out if there are any issues. My coco comes back home always happy after a visit to dogma.

Just picked up my Pom Wolfgang who is groomed by the master Shiro!! As a 35 year resident of Soho and a born and raised city person; he is by far the best! His lovely personality and his talent: outstanding! My dog doesn’t even turn around to say goodbye to me when I drop him off! I love the place physically. It has a very calm zen environment. I feel they know how wonderful Shiro is, and that makes me like them all the more. The place is clean, and if I ever had to leave my dog in daycare I would have no qualms about leaving him or her at Dogma. The staff are professional and friendly. They are the best‼️

My dog is my absolute world and finding a daycare in NYC was so overwhelming. We were only visiting for two days and I was so nervous about putting him in a daycare. I’m that mom. The dog mom who will ask a million questions in order to make sure he’s being taken care of when I’m away. DOGMA was so nice about this and treated my boy with so much love. He was so so happy! Thank you DOGMA !! Your staff was so amazing and loving to my pup. I will forever be indebted to you guys!!

Theodore has made furry friends, is walking on a leash, and smiling in every picture! I am thankful and grateful for DOGMA. I would recommend them for daycare as well as boarding.

What drew me to DOGMA was the large space with wide windows where dogs can run, play and sleep. There are also agility training sessions and power walks for more active dogs. A special touch was the daily report card on how my dog was doing and the regular photos. But most important of all was my dog’s cheerful mood when I picked him up. He seemed to have had a good time..

We love everything about Dogma! The space is welcoming and open and staff is great. Shiro, the groomer extraordinaire is the only groomer I’d trust to touch my bebes. He has this calming touch that my dogs are comfortable with and they always come back better than the last groom, if possible. And he is able to brush their teeth! I’ve never been able to do it and will start taking them in between their standing grooming appointments. Thank you Dogma for being so good to my kids.

Very pleased, staff is very nice, accomadeting, service was pretty fast and the groomer did excellent job, we like to go there, and my dog didn’t come out stressed, she is small yorkie and afraid of everything, thank you so much

Thank you to DOGMA for taking such great care of Wilbur. The team is always incredibly reassuring when I drop him off and he’s nervous — and sure enough, whenever I pick him up he’s beaming with joy. I appreciate the DOGMA team and all you do!

Dogma has been a godsend to us and our morkie Elgar for almost years now… Jun and her amazing staff treat him and us like family. We are thankful for all they do I couldn’t recommend them more for anyone in need of day care, grooming, and boarding! We love Dogma!!

I can’t say enough good things about DOGMA and their staff! My dog gets so excited every morning when we walk over and she figures out where we’re going. The staff are all very helpful and responsive to questions, and I love getting to see all the dogs playing and having fun on their Instagram. I’d give 6 stars if I could!

Wow! This is everything that I’ve been looking for. After doing a lot of research online I fell for DOGMAS modern and very informative website and the great reviews. I was amazed how thorough the sign up process was and also how easy the scheduling is and that basically everything is online. We scheduled a Meet & Greet and we were greeted immediately by their friendly staff and they answered all my questions and made me (and little Luna) feel very welcome. The lobby is clean, easy to find from the street and well staffed. After leaving Luna I got a report card with a picture and a note 1.5 hours later where it gave me and update on how she was doing. I picked her up after three hours and the pack leader came down with her and informed me how it went and if they recommended another half day before scheduling a full day. Again, very informative, professional and friendly staff. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog here! Safe, clean and loving staff. Thank you!

The staff is very professional and friendly. The establishment is Clean and proficient. I was very satisfied with my dog being groomed. She was handled with care..Looks like I found a new grooming place because I will definitely be back😊

Dogma is terrific! everyone, including the founder, Jun, the groomer, Shiro, and each of the staff members i’ve encountered during my four years as a customer, is excellent. i feel completely comfortable leaving my pooch in their competent care, and he seems to enjoy going there!

Thank you Dogma for being so accommodating!

Everyone was friendly and accommodating. I booked a last minute appointment and they were willing to squeeze me in. My dogs grooming looks great and we are both very happy!

Shiro always calms down my dogs who LOATHE and are terrified of going to the groomer! And they come out looking all spiffy. Thanks Jun and Shiro and the team

They love your dog. Your dog loves them. That’s the deal.

I brought my 2 large dogs for a meet and greet today. The staff welcomed them and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in their care. I received a detailed report card with pictures further assuring me they were having fun. After getting them home they immediately laid down and took a nice nap! Thank you Dogma! I’ll be taking them back next week for sure!

Loved the little report card after her first day 👍🏾❤️

SO friendly! Uplifting and joyful to be able to stop by get Bibi my chihuahua a nail trim and her favorite treats.

Our dogs love going to Dogma every weekend! They really know about dogs and how to keep them active. Our dogs enjoy so much the Advance Agility Group! All the staff is very kind and attentive! We are very happy to count with their support!

They helped my dog come out of his shell. He was very timid towards other dogs, but now he’s ever more friendly and enjoys his days at daycare. The people at DOGMA treat my pup with care and give him enough space to feel comfortable.

This is my second time bringing my Henry for a full grooming. He looks and smells phenomenal, and is in such a happy mood! The staff are lovely as well. <3

Couldn’t think of another place I’d send my pup 🙂 so thoughtful, caring, and kind toward all their clients!

Best place for dogs. The staff is wonderful

started bringing my puppy here for daycare when I go to work in person and he loves it! Playtime all day long! Easy drop off/ pickup, quick responses to daycare reservation request, friendly staff. Would recommend & will return!

The owner and staff were beyond welcoming and polite. A tour of the establishment was provided and an introductory meet and greet was set up in efforts to assess if my puppy qualified for services. They are professional and accommodating, I would highly recommend them, I’m excited and thankful that I found a reputable day care for my baby girl. Perfect for canine socialization and stimulation in a safe and friendly environment.

I moved to New York City in July of 2021 and was looking for the perfect daycare for my dog, Leo. After going through a few, I found Dogma. From the moment I walked through the doors the first day to drop him off, I knew this was the place I could trust to take care of my dog while I was away. Jun, the owner, was so warm and friendly when she greeted us and began loving on Leo instantly. He’s gone back countless times and each time we get close to Dogma, his tail starts wagging frantically and he just can’t wait to get inside. Jun, Michael, Nikki, and the rest of the staff are professional, responsive, and friendly each and every time. It’s clear that everyone working at Dogma cares about each dog that comes through their doors and that they love what they do. I have also used their grooming services and have been very impressed. Leo always leaves his grooming appointment smelling great, well brushed out, soft, and clean. I can’t say enough good things about this place. You can bring your dog here and trust that they will be happy, loved, and well taken care of when you can’t be with them.

Staff members are all wonderful, professional and efficient. It was easy to make or change appointment. I felt very comfortable leaving my 5 month old pup Bruno there, best part was that I could watch him play with and make new furry friends on the doggy cam. Thank you DOGMA!

We love everything about Dogma. Jun is so welcoming and treats every dog as if they were her own. Our mini-poodle, Sloane loves the time she spends at Dogma, especially her two hour power walks with the Bravo Pack! Sloane always has something fun to do while she’s at Dogma, like the Agility Training Course or a run on the doggie treadmill. Sloane always comes home tired, in a good way, and is ready for some snuggle time with the family. It is a lifesaver to have Dogma to turn to when we need it, without ever worrying that Sloane is in the best of hands. We love everyone at Dogma and we feel like they love Sloane.

LOVE THE PICTURES OF ALL THE DOGS , LOOK FORWARD TO READING THE SCHEDULE , WHAT A GREAT PLACE .I AM STELLA,S GRAND MOTHER DOGMA SAVES THE DAY FOR STELLA AND MY DAUGHTER AMANDA THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH .ENJOY YOUR DAY AND THE PRECIOUS DOGS …..JUST DARLING

We love DogmaNYC!! The staff is warm and welcoming, the location is easily accessible and my pup is visibly happy and excited every time I’ve dropped him off and every time I’ve picked him up. I can tell that he is being treated with love and respect by everyone there!!

I’ve been sending my pup to Dogma weekly for months and it’s been incredible experience.The staff is absolutely wonderful. My pup is always so excited to go to Dogma. It’s safe for dogs of all sizes and ages. They also offer additional services such as agility and power walks to keep the dogs physically and mentally challenged. 10/10

Our dog Lucy loves it at Dogma. June, the owner and her staff are great. The groomer is also very very good.

Our first time at Dogma and we are in love! Everyone is so kind and helpful…. Ginger came back amazing! You did a great job.

Dogma has been my boy Jesse James home away from home for the past four years! I would not trust him with anyone else but Dogma! They are the GOAT!

DOGMA is and has always been my favorite groomer!! They pay attention to details and take pride in making you happy. They make every effort to make your pup look however you want her or him to look. Shiro is our groomer at Dogma who takes the utmost care of our Gigi. However all of the groomers are excellent. You can trust Dogma — and you will love your pup with their new do!!

Tremendous one stop shop for dog care. Training, boarding, day care, grooming. All excellent. Trainers are caring and understanding. The best, the “Pack Leaders” are life savers.

Recommend for puppies on up. Such a great experience. As a new dog parent, the support of Dogma had been invaluable.

LOVED from the moment I called them to ask for information until when I came back to pick up Juneau from his bath. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and the place was clean and inviting.

They also have daycare. We saw the puppies from outside through a big window. We will definitely try that too.

Thank you everyone!

Love bringing my Frenchie here! I bring her for grooming, daycare, and indoor playtime. Whenever we try to leave or walk down the block she wants to turn back!

They do a great job cleaning her and she always is so happy picking her up. For daycare/indoor play group she comes home happy and exhausted.

It’s really nice we’re able to log in and see how she is on the Dog Cams. Highly recommend bringing your pup here for all your needs.

The best, my dog hates separating, but I know he is safe and well taken care of at Dogma. And he always comes out looking perfect!

Rufus started Agility classes, he came home happy and exhausted! Dogma is the best 👍

Friendly fun place, professional and personal at the same time. My 11 month old Shih Tzu got a beautiful grooming then a professional photo shoot. Dogma is doing special events in addition to their regular services.

I will definitely be back. Adding to this I am boarding Nugget now and getting reports and a cute picture of how he’s doing. He loves it there and is having a nice vacation of his own while I am having mine.

We both LOVE Dogma!

DOGMA was amazing! Very nice and professional on the phone as I scheduled my appointment, flexible as I needed to change/cancel, and once I got there asked me several questions about my puppy and how I would like him to be groomed to ensure I would leave happy.

I even sent them pictures of other puppies I liked post-grooming so they had something to follow. They were much quicker than other groomers I had been to while still maintaining quality.

My puppy left smelling so good and soft and fluffy! Would definitely recommend and will be going back!

THANK YOU DOGMA! Either Sonny or I (maybe both, or mostly me) has separation anxiety. Dogma has given me peace of mind knowing that while I am at work, Sonny is having a great time at such a fun and safe place.

The last two times I picked him up he’s been in such good spirits and has looked so happy. His socialization wasn’t bad before but you can tell he is 100% always happy to see a new doggo face.

Looking forward to our future adventures at Dogma! We will be regulars a few times a week for the foreseeable future.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Dogma! My 11 year old shih tzu has been going to Dogma for grooming services for almost 4 years and we have had a positive experience every time.

We are always greeted by a friendly face and they are soo helpful with scheduling and answering questions. Their facility is extremely clean and I feel comforted knowing that I am leaving my dog in the best hands!

We brought our 8-month old fluffy corgi Sumo to Dogma for the first time to get groomed, and we are SO pleased with his haircut. Shiro has magic fingers, and you can just tell he was so meticulous with Sumo.

We will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

I come to Dogma to get my little rescue mutt’s nails trimmed. She tolerates the trimming because Shiro is so awesome and the treats so delicious! Always an upbeat professional vibe there. If I ever needed a doggie daycare I would definitely use this one. They have a glass partition between the waiting room and daycare and I’ve only seen adorable, clean and happy dogs there!

My dogs loves Dogma. Winston, my Frenchie eats breakfast and then stands by the door so I can take him to Dogma every morning. The staff is warm and so loving. They even gave him a birthday card and gift. He has good friends there and some of those friends are even dogs. .

DOGMA took really great care of my 10 year old Yorkie. I just rescued her about a year ago and I was nervous about boarding her, not sure how she would be and if boarding was an option for us. Well, DOGMA calmed all of my fears and I left that day feeling my girl was in the best hands! I was able to watch her with the other dogs on their daycare cameras and they gave me a mid weekend update, pictures and all. The prices were a bit higher than other places I considered but that was only because the care was higher. I highly recommend DOGMA and we will be back when Mom needs a weekend away!

Our 18 month old puppy LOVES going to Dogma. When we go to drop him off, he pulls at the leash to get in!

Because he’s still a young dog full of energy, he really needs lots of play time with other dogs. And Dogma provides that: he always comes home well worn out, which is what we want.

On the days we don’t send him, he’s so full of energy that we rue that we didn’t send him.

They also provide him good grooming services.

We LOVE Dogma. We drive in from Brooklyn just to bring him there.

My Australian Shepard, Cosmo, LOVES Dogma! He has so many friends and will race me there every time. He just got groomed for the first time and they did amazing! I was so nervous because Aussie’s coats are so natural looking, and they really trimmed him at the perfect length, especially for the summer heat. Thank you Dogma!

I take my 1 year old puppy here and they do such a great job! He is a terrier mix and has wiry hair texture. Their shiny coat treatment does the trick for his hair type and lasts up to a month!

We bring our fur-baby Sisko all the way from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to get groomed by Shiro. Dogma is always on point and worth the money.

Dogma is a home away from home for my 15 month old pup Blue. He’s been attending day care weekly for almost a year now, which has been key in socializing him with other dogs. Bonus: I get to work from home without worrying about him! I know he’s well cared for too, the staff is very attentive and professional.

We love Dogma and have had a fantastic experience since Wayland started going for daycare and grooming 6 months ago. The staff greet him excitedly the minute he walks in the door, and he frequently leads us there on his walks, so we know he loves it! Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for a great daycare / groomer in the area.
