About THE PET GETAWAY LLC

The Pet Getaway works from 333 Ovington Ave in Bay Ridge and describes itself as specializing in professional dog training and boarding services, with more than thirty years of combined experience behind the team.

The trainer

The founder and CEO, Udi, is also the head dog trainer. The site describes his expertise in canine behavior and training as ensuring the dog gets the mental as well as physical stimulation it needs, using positive reinforcement techniques. Having the owner be the trainer rather than a hire is worth noting for a business that also runs boarding and daycare – it means the training judgment sits at the top.

Prices, published up front

The homepage leads with a rate list rather than burying it: dog walking from $25, pet boarding from $55, dog training from $128, pet daycare from $45 and pet transportation from $10, with a price calculator on the site. Further down, dog boarding is $98 including two long walks and a short potty break, puppy boarding $128 on the same terms, holiday boarding $124, cat boarding $55, a fifteen-minute walk $25, and a forty-minute park session including pick-up and drop-off $60.

What clients describe

One review from an owner leaving a five-month-old puppy for a week describes a pre-stay meeting to settle her nerves, and Udi teaching the puppy to go up and down stairs while she was away – something the household had been struggling with. Updates, photos and videos through the day are described as standard. That review is a useful indicator of how the training and the boarding actually interact here: the dog was worked on during the stay rather than simply held.
