How does he do it?!
James A.

Chad and Lauren have been walking / caring for our dog Teddy since he was a puppy. Teddy is only 11 pounds and very afraid of other dogs, especially much larger ones but every time we send him on these day trips with the other dogs he seems to really enjoy himself and even gets in group photos with everybody! Chad and Lauren are very attentive and send constant pictures(incredible pics!) / updates on the dogs via their instagram and even texts us personally throughout the day. I absolutely encourage all dog owners in the city to use this service as it's really beneficial to give your dog a chance to roam free on these hikes / adventures and be around other dogs. Bonus - By the time they come home, they are absolutely wiped!

Mid-hike water break

Our dog Petra loves her days with Bark and Burn. She is always so excited when she gets to go on her day trips. Chad is wonderful and sends lots of photos of your pup having fun. He also varies the locations of the trips so there's always a new place to sniff and explore.

Nothing better than these Bark and Burn doggie day trips! Can't say enough! Chad is masterful at caring for and understanding the fur babies capabilities and needs. He keeps them both safe and engaged. Great exercise, great socialization, great training. Have known Chad for almost 7 years and he is the best! Lauren also is such a beautiful, special person - kind, great with the doggies, organized and reliable! I can't say enough about these two and this service!

Bark and Burn has been the best thing to happen to me and my pups. I have 2 large rescues - both have a little bit of issues with other dogs and humans, but when Chad met them it's like they were completely different dogs. He is truly a dog whisperer and they felt so comfortable in his presence. I've never seen my pups get more excited than when they know Chad is coming to get them for a hike, lake day, beach - they can't contain themselves! I never get over how well all the pups in the pack listen to Chad and how they whole heartedly trust him. For my pups to be able to go on these trips with someone as caring and passionate as Chad is so amazing.

Bhãlū at the beach with bark+burn

My pup Bhãlū loves the adventures he goes on with his puppy pack, Chad and Lauren. I 20/10 recommend adventures with Chad and Lauren to any pup parent who wants their pup to get exercise and have fun off leash. Not only does my pup come home exhausted after a fun day, but I feel reassurance when Chad and Lauren have him because I know he's safe and being taken care of. So glad to have become part of the bark+burn family!

I can't say enough amazing things about Chad and Lauren!!! They are truly the best. They are organized, so caring and I know my dog is in incredible hands with them. They come to pick her up and go on amazing adventure trips to parks, hikes and the beach! Chad is the dog whisperer and helped so much to train her. Having a high energy dog in the city Bark and Barn has made all of lives so much better. We are so lucky to have them. She hates to leave them and is thrilled to see them when they come. You will not find anything better than this!!!

Chad and Bark + Burn have been nothing short of perfection for my American Pitbull Terrier, Stella. They are true professionals and go above and beyond for all of their animals. I am very confident that Stella is in good hands at all times under their care and can always count on them for last minute walks/requests. I don't know what we would do without Bark + Burn!

We have been so lucky to have Chad and his team taking care of our little guy, Markel, for the last year and a half. At first it was out of necessity that we used Bark and Burn but even now that we have more flexibility with our work schedules we wouldn't dream of taking away the quality time and care that Markel gets with Chad and all the other dogs and walkers that have become his family. Bark and Burn always gives the best care and attention - whether diligently sending us photos and videos throughout the walk, or making sure to dress Markel appropriately with a sweater in the winter (Chad even got Markel a cooling vest last summer without us even asking!) - we never ever have to worry about whether our dog is being taken care of. In fact we always joke that Markel seems sadder and more bored at home than when he is with his B&B crew. Highly recommend Bark and Burn to anyone who is in need of walking services. Not only has Chad taught Markel discipline - he even trains him on agility! A well-rounded experience for a reasonable price. We always come home to a very happy pup. Can't rave about B&B services enough.

Bailey loves Bark + Burn

This is the best dog waking company in NY! When you have a large, energetic dog in a big city it's hard to keep them exercised and happy. But Lauren does a FANTASTIC JOB of walking and training my Cane Corso, Bailey. Bailey loves her and you can tell how much Lauren loves the dogs she works with, it's not just a job but a calling! Thank you Bark + Burn! We are a better family because if you!

My boyfriend and I can't say enough about Bark & Burn. Chad and his staff have been nothing short of amazing for our boxer mix puppy, Barkley. From the very beginning, we knew Bark & Burn was for us. I have personally witnessed Chad in action on his walks and he really cares about all of the dogs. Also, every dog gets their own back pack with a portable water bowl, a ball, a frisbee, and some treats! Brenda and Aurea are his walkers and he absolutely loves them. Barkley is still a puppy and was still getting used to his walks, and was really giving us trouble in the heat. Brenda and Aurea were extremely patient. Bark & Burn has gone above and beyond to make sure Barkley gets the most out of his walks. Because Barkley has so much energy, we pay for a one hour walk in the mornings and a half hour walk in the afternoon, but Brenda and Aurea have spent extra time with Barkley on numerous occasions to make sure he gets the exercise he needs. Bark & Burn's prices are also very reasonable in comparison to some other companies we were looking at and have heard about from our friends. Not to mention they have an app where you can track your dog's walks, and Brenda and Aurea always send a million cute photos after every walk. They are extremely responsible and diligent. We have been telling everyone they should use Bark & Burn, we can't recommend it enough.

I continued to work with Hoochie Poochie until 1 month ago when I moved out of their service area…read more My big boys both grew old and ultimately passed, and I think our walkers mourned almost as much as we did. When a new pup arrived unexpectedly, he had a good deal of fear of other dogs, and some behavioral issues - I asked Hoochie Poochie to take him on and they included him in a carefully selected playgroup, in which he grew in confidence and joy. We moved about a month ago. If there were any way to continue working with them, I would, but they focus on their service area so as to continue to provide top-notch service. I had to travel not long after moving, and asked if they'd take care of our new boy overnight while I was away, just so he didn't have too many changes at once. Two of his walkers looked after him - and you would have been as moved as I was to see his reaction to seeing them again after a few weeks away. They are professional, responsible, and very attentive to the dogs' safety and well-being. They pay attention while walking them, and communicate well. I would be so happy if they'd expand to my new neighborhood!

HOWEVER - I feel compelled to rave about this company and especially our dog walker, Fran. Our dog Vito has now been walking with Fran three days a week for the past three months - and basically his life is scheduled around his "Fran days". After a LONG three day weekend without his crew, he spends Tuesday mornings oscillating between looking out the window and running to the door, as he waits for Fran to pick him up. He goes to her immediately, and greets all of the dogs (the team changes day to day, but he has a regular crew) with so much enthusiasm, it's remarkable. After three hours walking/playing at the dog park, he's usually happily worn out and spends the rest of the afternoon chilling. Fran has taken him out in all weather - rain, snow, or shine - and every day we get pictures and emails about their outings. The Hoochie Poochie team is incredibly reliable, great communicators and super on top of any issues. Really top notch! TY!

I've never seen my dog so excited to see anyone- every time we're on her block (even in passing when we're not going to day care), he always drags me to her lobby. She does a really great job updating me throughout the day with pictures and comments on how my dog's doing- you can tell in these photos how ecstatic he is (the Maltipoo). During the initial consultation, Wendy did a very thorough job taking notes on any conditions or concerns regarding my dog along with emergency contacts/vet info/dietary restrictions/etc. It's evident that her number one priority is the safety and well being of every dog she looks after. It would be very difficult to go anywhere else after my positive experience with Wendy!

As much as it pains me ;), Jackson's favorite part of his day are his midday walks with Wendy. He's always so thrilled to see her! He comes home after a retreat at her home (when I'm traveling) happy, calm and in amazing spirits. I trust Wendy implicitly with care of my fur baby. She treats Jackson like her own. She knows animals so well, and provides such detailed, responsible and thoughtful care, I'm never concerned - and he loves her. To me, she's responsive, flexible and so very kind. She has been a dream to work with. I highly recommend Wendy's services for anyone that wants peace of mind and a very happy pup :). Neither of you will be disappointed!

We use them to walk our dog during the day and also to take him on hikes in upstate New York once a week, as well as boarding him when we go on vacation. The owner has a team of walkers and hikers who truly love the dogs -- our dog gets super-excited whenever his walkers arrive and they are very nice to him. They are also timely and responsive, and keep us informed about all the important details of our dogs walk (poops/pees, etc). The walks are in small groups and we can tell from our dog's airtag that the walkers take him for long walks and extended play in the dog parks. The Weekly hikes are even better! NYC Doggies picks our three year old Portuguese Water dog up in the morning, drive him upstate, and turn him loose for a several hour long hike with a professional walker, along with 3-4 other dogs. He runs, swims in lakes, and generally gets to behave like a "normal" dog in the wild. He comes back exhausted and falls asleep for three hours straight. It is his favorite day of the week, and it has made him calmer and better behaved, and more fit. NYC Doggies has made my dog's life much happier and I could not recommend them more highly.

In the 7 years since I've had my dog, this is one of the longest times we've spent apart. And it's the most peace of mind I've felt since I've had him. DotCom has a very hard time with visitors in the home, but sending him away or to boarding was not an option - he's a tricky dog who doesn't always like other dogs or people, and I was concerned about the respiratory illness going around. Lauren hand-selected one of her sitters for me, Bridget, and repeatedly reassured me until my flight took off that she and Bridget could handle whatever DotCom threw at them. DotCom did not disappoint; on top of his usual loud and persistent barking, he got an upset stomach while I was gone. And of course, Bridget, with the support of Lauren, exceeded my every expectation. Bridget navigated his chaos like a ninja, as if he was an easy, well-adjusted dog. Like it was nothing. When I got home, DotCom was happy to see me, but after quickly greeting me, he got back on the couch to cuddle with Bridget! This is nothing short of miraculous from a dog who has about 5 people he truly, truly trusts. Bridget and Lauren are gifts to people and their pets, especially those of us with difficult dogs who aren't easy to love. Not only did Bridget take care of my dog like he was her own difficult son, she took out my trash, ran my dishwasher, and picked up my packages. I can't even begin to thank her and Lauren enough. I wish I could keep this to myself and never share them, but dogs and their people deserve to know about Sit, Stay, Stella.

Trusting someone to do what they say they will when you are not around is also hard. After some *very* disappointing results with other dog walking services, we were recommended Murphy's Paw by a friend and we could not be happier. Jim is a fantastic dog walker and you can tell is truly and animal lover. I trust 100% that he will take care of my dog and give her the love and attention that she needs when she is with him. Jim is professional and friendly, he takes her out for the time we agree to (past dog walking services have taken my dog out for only 8-10 minutes in spite of me paying for a 20-30 minute walk), he keeps me apprised of her activities by leaving notes, and he is always more than happy to accommodate our schedule if he can. I would not hesitate to recommend Murphy's Paw to anyone who is looking for a dog walker in Chelsea.

We reached out, Jim came by our place to meet us and the dog, and I pretty much knew after that conversation that he was our guy. He is amazing with our dog, and she absolutely loves him... Which is saying something as she is not super social and usually a bit shy. He's reliable, helps us out with taking her to the groomer, the vet, or stoping by to feed her if we can't make it home on schedule, and over the last 1.5years I don't have a single complaint. Best part, he also boards her if we are out of town, which is sooooo much better than taking her to some crap hole kennel. Makes it that much easier to relax on vacation knowing she's in good hands. He even txt's us the occasional picture of her getting into trouble just so we know she's doing well. Bottom line, if you need a dog walker, Murph's Paw is the be all and end all, so save yourself the trouble and go with Jim. He's very professional and we wouldn't trust anyone else.
