I'm Laurie Branch, one of the owners of Precious Moments Pet Care Services. When I'm not working, I love spending time with my husband and our pet family. I love walking, reading and going to school.

Wonderful service and wonderful people! I met with Laurie over a year ago to set up walks for my 8 month old French Bulldog, Lazer. She paired Lazer up with Bob and its been great ever since. Bob is the BEST and Lazer really loves him. Because I had never worked with a walker before and because Lazer was still a puppy, I checked in on my security cameras to make sure everything went smoothly.
I loved what I saw! Bob is so gentle and patient with Lazer and mostly I love that he talks and treats Lazer just like I do. I receive compliments from my neighbors all the time about how great Bob is with Lazer. Bob leaves me notes after every walk and fills me in on anything he notices. Once time Lazer seemed very itchy so he left me a message. When I got home I realized Lazer was having an allergic reaction and because of Bob's note, I was able to pinpoint the cause.
I coordinate my walks with Laurie each week and she has been beyond patient with me. Since the lockdown in NYC was lifted and I returned to work, my schedule has been different each week. Laurie has worked with me each week to make sure Lazer is covered for his walks. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and care that goes into the business, from scheduling to the actual walks.
I am so glad I chose Precious Moments instead of using WAG or Rover. If you are looking for a more personal and trustworthy service, you can't go wrong with Laurie and her team!

Recently hired Laurie and her team for our two very good boys. They are older dogs and need patience and simple walks to be happy, and I can tell when I come home that the dogs are indeed happy! They look forward to their afternoon daily walks while my wife and I are at work. I really like the notes on the walk that a walker will leave, it goes a long way to making me feel like the dogs are truly cared for. Laurie was even able to have a walker - Steve - who speaks Russian, for our russian-speaking dog! How cool is that! The price is right, the service is excellent.

We just hired Precious Moments' services a week and a half ago. Laurie is AMAZING! She is extremely understanding with our 3 month old, Bentley. She is also very accommodating and patient and she brings comfort to us. We love knowing that our lil pup is in great LOVING, CARING and RESPONSIBLE hands. I trust her and her team to take care of my fur-baby.

Found Laurie and her team on Yelp where she responded right away and continued communication and answering questions right up until the day of the meet and greet with our puppy. She really does love dogs and our dog was comfortable right away. They are very flexible, are available most weekends and have helped me keep a happy and healthy puppy on days I am at work!

Laurie, Dave, and the rest of their Precious Moments team are amazing! They've been walking my Destiny since she was 10 weeks old and just came home to me, and she's nearly two! They are accommodating and consistent - communication is always great, I have peace of mind, and they leave me daily notes. I interviewed others at the start, and no one compared to them!

Precious Moments is an excellent family owned and operated dog walking service. Laurie and Dave are professional and treat our dog with care, compassion and respect. They have the walkers leave detailed notes regarding their visit with your dog. They are diligent to follow any special requests or needs we have for our dog. I feel comfortable and secure leaving my dog in their care.
My dog is my baby, everything I do is for him and I was very nervous to have him in the care of someone other than family. Precious Moments is respectful of my home and the community we live in. They also care for a number of other dogs in our community.

Laurie and Dave have taken care of our dog on several occasions, two of which were in their home while we were away on vacation. It's very clear how much they love and care about pets and they were so welcoming to our dog. We received pictures and an update most days, which was very nice. They are very professional when coming to our home, they leave a note letting us know how the visit went.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the area looking for someone to walk/care for their pet. Thank you guys for treating our dog like your own, we truly appreciate it!

I recently adopted a 3 month old puppy. I had no plans to get a dog, but you know what they say about love at first puppy sight! It was a sudden decision and after I did it, I quickly had to figure out how I was going to care for my puppy. I actually found Laurie @ Precious Moments on yelp. I also found out that Laurie and team walk several dogs in my building, so I also asked my neighbors for feedback.
All of them gave an amazing review. I decided to give Precious Moments a try and I am SO GLAD that I did. All of the walkers are so loving and treat my puppy just like their own. They are so reliable, always on time and are flexible with last minute requests. They are also available on weekends if you find yourself in bind. I highly recommend Precious Moments!

They have been taking care of my puppy since May. I am so happy with the care Laurie, Dave and Chris give to my baby. They write me notes every day telling me about their visit with him. They also will send me pictures and videos of them playing with him or walking him. It's a great peace of mind to see him happy during the day while I'm at work. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We are extremely happy with our service. Our dog gets walked once a day every weekday and we also do an extra, extended visit once a week. We are extremely comfortable leaving both our home and our dog in their hands. They are extremely trustworthy, caring, professional, and reasonable. We get a note every day with how our dog did for the day. We had trouble with getting our dog to get along with other dogs so they helped us to socialize our dog with other dogs they walk.
Our dog has gotten much better with other dogs because of the time he spends weekly with other dogs. We even had our dog watched for a week while we were on vacation. What a lifesaver! We would absolutely trust the entire team with our dog.

Laurie, Dave and their tram take great care of my pets! They walk my dog every week, they feed the cats when I go out of town, and my dog gas boarded overnight with them. They are wonderful with the pets! They are trust worthy and caring. They always go above and beyond. A few weeks ago my dog ran away. I called Laurie so she would keep an eye out for him. She and Dave immediately jumped in their cars and searched the neigborhood. Dave found my dog! They treat my pets like they are their own! I couldn't ask for more.

I couldn't be happier with Laurie and David. I moved to Nutley 3+ years ago and I was having trouble finding a dog walker that didn't treat my Murphy like another dog. I knew the moment I met Laurie that we would be a fit. She had a dog that was blind, Murphy had hearing loss. I knew she had the compassion to take care of him. 100% reliable, never missed a day.

I used Precious Moments dog walking service and I have to say that they are wonderful people. First off the LOVE animals, which is important. Second my dogs loved Dave. If I didn't move away I would still be using them. I never had any issues and if my schedule changed around with short notice, they easy worked with me. I would recommend them in a heart beat.

Best dog walkers in the area! Truly care about your pet. Love that they always send pictures and keep a log of how my dog was during his walk! My pup really got used to them quick and looked forward to his walks. NEVER had any issues with the them not showing up which is something you see a lot with other walkers. It was nice when we had our first meet and greet laurie took the time to ask questions about my dog and his behaviors to make sure they understand how he will be (is he good around other dogs, is he a flight risk etc). Unfortunately I had re-located to an area not covered my precious moments they will be missed by Dave and Laurie!

Laurie and Dave are THE BEST! We were so worried about finding a good dog walker but the minute we met them any worries we had vanished. Lenny absolutely adores them and seeing how happy he gets when they come over (I've seen it in person multiple times) warms my heart. They leave notes every day, are very responsive on the phone (via text, which makes everything so easy) and are super flexible when it comes to scheduling.
We have Lenny walked 5 times a week during the day and recently had a weekend visit. I really can't say enough good things about them and we don't know what we would do without them!
