Fulfillment-First Enrichment
Two pack walks, structured play, treadmills, slat mills, nose work — the right activity for the right dog. Not every dog needs the same thing, and we don't treat them that way.
Every Decision Is Intentional
Ten years of intensive study, certifications and hands-on work with dogs and puppies of all types and temperaments. That experience is baked into how this facility runs.
Professional Staff
Every handler has 2+ years paid experience before their first interview with us. We don't train beginners on your dog.
Airport Convenient
Located directly on the BQE expressway ramp — on your route to both LaGuardia and JFK. Drop off before your flight, pick up on your return.
Dog Boarding · Greenpoint Brooklyn
Rest Easy.
We've Got Them.
Our boarding program was built from the ground up — not from a manual. Two pack walks, two pee breaks, structured play, and enrichment matched to each dog. They go home tired in the right way.
The standard here is simple: every dog's safety, joy, and fulfillment — as their day shifts from activity to rest and back — is what matters most to me. Some dogs need to play with others a lot, some dogs need to run on a treadmill, some need to just chill on the couch and we honor their needs. As the owner of the facility, I board my own dogs here. It was built to my standards and what brings my own dogs joy and balance.
Puppies, nervous and sensitive dogs do well here. The structure, decompression time and consideration for their needs is what makes that possible. If the environment isn’t right for your dog we will be sure to discuss that with you.

What Our Clients Say
Five-Star
Rated.
Ten years in Greenpoint. Built on trust.

"HustlePups is the best of the best! Kelly even went above and beyond and made sure Ollie slept in an airline carrier-type crate instead of a wire crate because that's what he's used to. I live on Long Island and go out of my way to leave Ollie in their care because I truly only trust them."
"Hands down the best place to board your fur-babies in Brooklyn. My pup Clara has horrible anxiety during storms — they comforted her and provided updates throughout her stay. You can tell this is more than just a business. They are all truly animal lovers with kind hearts."
"I don't know what I would do without HustlePups — it's that simple. We've been regulars since our high-energy pup was born and they've been the best support system through and through. From training, to daycare, to boarding — they do it all."
"Astro my 9-month-old Goldendoodle loves going to HustlePups! He's stayed twice, both week-long stays. They're super accommodating — we had to extend from 2 days to 5 the day before pickup and they were so lovely about it. Will continue to board with them and looking into training too!"

FAQ · Dog Boarding & Daycare Greenpoint Brooklyn
Before You
Ask.
Is my dog old enough?
Puppies are welcome from 4 months of age, once they have their full range of vaccinations.
What vaccinations are required?
Current Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper/Combination (DHLPP/DAPP) vaccines are required. Records must be uploaded to your dog's profile before the temperament test.
Do I need to be a training client to board with you?
No — boarding and daycare are open to the public. That said, this is a training-led facility. All clients are expected to support training concepts when needed to maintain a safe environment.
Can I visit the facility?
We don't allow human guests — insurance requirement and a safety policy for all dogs in our care. You can take a video tour here to see exactly where your dog will be staying.
