I can't say enough great things about Brooklyn Bitches. Eric and Skip have been absolutely outstanding with our small dog and we've enjoyed the daily walk photos over the past year. They've been super accommodating with schedule changes, flexible and have very fair rates. We are moving away and I will definitely miss their business. I highly recommend them to anyone moving to Greenpoint or Williamsburg. They are pros that definitely are worthy of any dog owner's business. read more

Let me be clear about one thing: I am a fucking lunatic when it comes to my dog. I mean, let's put things in perspective, I don't have one of those baby strollers for him, but he does have a Facebook page. And, unlike many people living in Brooklyn, he has health insurance. So, as you can imagine, I don't let just anyone take care of my sweet puppy. Doug is great, and if you're looking for a dog walker you should totally go with him. Fact: Your friends don't like walking your dog. They say they do, but it's a pain in the ass -- especially in the rain, snow, cold, or the December 2010 blizzard when my friends had to walk my dog for me. So go ahead and hire a professional. read more

The absolute best. My dog doesn't love walking (he'd rather stay on the couch). He even has a history of refusing to leave the stoop for walkers. But Eric and his team are so good with him! They're also just generally so nice and patient and helpful. 10/10! read more

We've been through a few walkers in the last couple years. Some who were just too pricey, others not as available as they led us to believe, and some who down right forgot to walk the dog. Doug embodies everything good about a dog walker - he loves these animals, he's available and communicates with the owners, he's priced right and you can trust that you'll get some updates that warm your day when you need it. Our dog can be a handful at times, she's a rescue and has her moments with other dogs - but despite the occasional issue he loves her through and through and that's what makes him stand out. Unconditional tail waggin love. read more

We've been using Brooklyn Bitches for our pup Phoebe since she was 12 weeks old (she's now 1.5 years old). They are so great: punctual, understanding, loving and communicative. We know Phoebe looks forward to her walks every weekday, and if we're ever in a pinch, Brooklyn Bitches is happy to accommodate a weekend or nighttime walk. read more

Brooklyn Bitches owner Doug D says he cares. He does. Goldie looks so forward to his time with Doug that he begins pacing by the door for 20 minutes before his scheduled walks. I highly recommend the service. It's the best. read more

Eric and the gang over at BB are exactly what dog parents like me need. They love dogs the way I love dogs and realize that we treat our canines like kids. From the first interview to the continued walks (our pup gets 5 walks a week) BB is professional, loving and accomodating to changing schedules. Our dog LOVES her walks and walkers. A++ all around. If this review comes to you while your'e searching, look no further. read more

What a great service. Eric and team are very trustworthy and reliable. We have been using them for about 6 months now and the service is stellar. When they arrive they text you and send you picture of your dog to let you know they have them and they are safe and in their care. When they are finished they text you again to let you know your dog is home. I feel that my dog is safe and in good hands with them, which is the most important thing. Also, as someone who travels frequently for work, they are available to on-the-fly in case a flight gets delayed and you don't make it home in time. This happened to me more than once. All in all, if you are looking for a really caring, reliable and flexible dog walker choosing Brooklyn Bitches is the way to go. read more

The boys of Brooklyn Bitches are truly wonderful! I moved to New York in November, and they have been such a joy for my pup Drake. Drake was used to coming to work with me before we moved, and I was worried that New York would be hard on him. Luckily he gets some great exercise and company during the week with his Brooklyn Bitches walks. He is always happy and tired out when I get home to him. Plus I love getting the pictures of him and knowing exactly when he's out! read more

Brooklyn Bitches - My pup on one of his Brooklyn Bitches walks! - Dog Walkers Near Me

When my boyfriend and I got our female corgi puppy in June we didn't have a plan beyond a vague "she'll need a dogwalker." That might make us sound awful but we'd never had a dog in an apartment before so we were a tad unprepared. Once she received all of her shots I sent an email to Brooklyn Bitches explaining what our needs were. That was on a Thursday, Doug & Deirdre dropped by over the weekend to meet us and our pup and they began walking her on Monday. Deirdre comes by once a day, 5 days a week since the beginning of July. Daisy loves her and I love the pictures she sends me and the notes she leaves at the end of the day. I feel like Deirdre really cares about and loves Daisy, even when Daisy is teething and being a brat (which recently started and is not very fun). I would recommend them to anyone. They are great people and have made myself and Daisy very happy. read more

Found Brooklyn Bitches through Yelp and it has been a great find. Company is highly reliable, walkers are friendly and I am never worried about my dog's needs. read more

I was referred to Brooklyn Bitches by the previous dog walkers i was using when i lived in Bushwick. I couldn't be happier with BB's services. The walkers are personable and amazing with our dog. They notify us when they're picking up, send us two picture messages during the walk, and let us know when he's been dropped off. We're able to pay our monthly invoices through PayPal which is very convenient. read more

I have 2 dachshunds and everyone who is familiar with the breed knows that they can be stubborn, picky, noisy and not always friendly towards strangers. When Eric showed up for meet&greet they let him get into the apartment with no single bark (what never happened before) and instead of jumping on him, they got so calm and they encircled him looking directly at his eyes. They always so happy to see all boys and they can recognize them from far away. All of them: Eric, Trey and Skip are real - they don't pretend they are too sweet, they just do their job well. Let me add that I fight for animal rights and I'm super suspicious when it comes to animal abuse so finding "Brooklyn Bitches" was my peace of mind. There were few situations when I was at home but I didn't cancel the walks and boys showed up exactly at the time they send the text what is very important for me too. Highly recommend! Update: I moved and I'm not longer in Bb's area, I'm trying 3rd company in Financial District area. It's going so bad and I'm frustrated to the point I decided to update my old review. No one is like Eric. NO ONE. His integrity is outstanding. If you are his client, you and you fur kids are lucky. read more

Doug is incredibly kind, professional, and super attentive. Doug has been walking my dog Pip since we adopted her in May 2012. From our first meeting, I could tell how much he loved dogs and how much care he put into his business. He didn't mind that she wasn't totally crate trained yet, and cleaned up any messes that had happened in the house before he got there (and let me know about them). A month later I got picked for jury duty and my schedule was all over the place, and Doug was super flexible and was able to walk Pip on short notice when I got stuck in court. Doug sends me pictures or videos every time he walks Pip, and it's such a great pick me up in the middle of the day. I can tell by all the pictures that Pip is having a great time and is in wonderful hands. Pip LOVES Doug - we've ran into him a few times at the dog park and she runs right over for an ear rub. Many dog owners from Cooper Park Dog Run use his services and have talked about how wonderful he is. I 100% trust Doug, and highly recommend him. read more

Eric and his team take my dog for walks on the dailies and are incredible. They are reliable, always in communication, and my dog couldn't be happier. After we moved from LA I was worried i'd be stuck taking my guy to day care, but Eric always goes above and beyond to make sure my guy is looked out for. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you have a dog who loves to get out and needs the special attention that a true dog lover gives, then these are your guys. read more

Eric and his crew are outstanding, as you can see from dozens of 5-star reviews. The only reason we won't be utilizing their walking services anymore is because we're moving out of the neighborhood. The crew walked our dog, Rosie, for more than six months, including when she was still very much a puppy to now more than a year old. She is a 55-pound Giant Schnauzer who is full of life! She absolutely ADORED her walkers, and they took amazing care of her. They are excellent at communicating and always send awesome pictures during walks, too. For any animal lover (but especially us crazy dog folks), this is a huge comfort. I was really hesitant to let anyone else walk Rosie at first, because she is truly our four-legged child. But meeting Eric first, and having him meet Rosie, I felt really good moving forward with their services. I can't speak highly enough of the walkers. Also, Eric himself is very easy to communicate with and responds promptly. We are sad to leave their services behind! And for the record, they have some of the best rates in the neighborhood. (I would know, I looked at all of them.) Support a local business that is locally run in Williamsburg! read more

We are moving out of the area and so sad that we won't be in BB's walking area anymore. We've had great walkers in all situations and Eric is very accomodating with schedule changes. BB also helped us in an emergency when neither of us could get home in time to walk our pup. Very reasonably priced and all the walkers are very caring with great updates! They also make sure to dry down your pets if its a rainy day. read more

When you hire a dog walker you are looking for someone who is going to care about your dog(s) nearly as much as you do and someone you can trust alone in your home. Let me start by saying Doug loves dogs as is evident in many of the other reviews. He even came for a couple of extra visits while my wife and I were out of town for the weekend at no charge. The issue was that when we returned there was half a bottle of prescription medication missing and no one else had access to our apartment. Doug did fess up when I confronted him and was extremely apologetic, but then went on to ask me "not to turn this into a big thing" and continued following up with me trying to sweep his mess under the rug. Can you trust him alone in your home? You'll have to decide that for yourself. Get help Doug! read more

In only the second week, they forgot to show up and my dog pooped in my apartment. She was miserable when we got home. I texted, and the owner, Eric, apologized and offered to walk her for free that evening. Instead, we asked for our money back, which he did bring. Disappointing and unacceptable. read more

So right....I have had my dog Nugget for seven years. She has never been one to play with toys or be all that fun necessarily. We went to Mexico for a week, during the hurricane, and when we come back...not only was Nugget all mellow, but she now plays with toys. Way to make our dog into a real dog DOUG! read more

Doug is AWESOME! Besides being a really cool guy with great energy, he worked wonders with my Cat Pony. Pony is friendly enough, but instantly took to Doug! He watched her for like 5 days while I was away in CA. It should be noted that I have a totally codependent relationship with my cat, and he was kind enough to even send pictures from time to time! So awesome!! Thanks Doug, for being radical! read more

First review, long time lurker, but wanted to provide a review because it's been such a pleasure having the gang watch over Achilles. Eric and the gang have done an amazing job of showing patience and genuine concern wth my dog from the time he was a wee-pup. Achilles loves the group so much and legitimately gets excited everytime they arrive to take him for his daily walks. They provide excellent pictures and are always on time.....Eric is always accomadating to my last minute changes due to my work schedule and vacations. I couldn't ask for a better group of guys watching over the most important dude in my life. read more

Eric and company have taken care of our bulldog for 6+ months. We have never had any issues and the company has been flexible to scheduling changes. Two paws up for brooklyn bitches! read more

This is the only dog walking service that I have used, so I don't have much frame of reference, but there are several reasons why I originally chose Eric/Brooklyn Bitches (and why I continue to use them). Firstly, it's really important to me that my dog isn't walked in large group. She gets along with other dogs fine, but if I'm paying for a walk I want her to get some personalized attention. Brooklyn Bitches is really good about this. My dog is usually walked with one other dog, which is great because she gets some social interaction without getting lost in the shuffle of a large group walk. Secondly, it's important to me that I know when my dog is being walked, and they're really good about this too. I always get a text when she is picked up and dropped off, and in between I usually receive a couple photos. This not only offers peace of mind, but is also kind of fun because I've met some of the other dog owners around the neighborhood when we recognized each other's dogs from the pictures. Finally, they're pretty flexible about your schedule. I've cancelled or added walks at the last minute, and Eric always works really hard to make sure he can accommodate your needs. With Brooklyn Bitches you don't get some of the bells and whistles of more expensive services, but it's nice to support a small business, and in return your pup gets a lot of personal attention. UPDATE ON 2/17/15: I originally gave a four-star rating but have since amended it to five. I recently found myself in a predicament when I locked myself out of my apartment at midnight on a Sunday. I called Eric because he was the only person with extra keys to my apartment. I explained the situation and he hopped on his bike immediately to come let me in. This was really above and beyond the call of duty, and I don't think you'd get this kind of service with other companies. Five stars--thanks, Eric! read more

Doug is awesome! To say our dogs are high energy is to put it nicely. He handled all three with ease. He also walked our dogs every Saturday night when my boyfriend and I both work, for months, getting our new pup through her tiny bladder phase. He always texts when he's on his way, and when he's done, often with super cute pics, videos and funny anecdotes. He even held it together when a stray pit bull attacked our smallest- did I mention this was while he was walking three high energy dogs? I'd highly recommend him to anyone. read more

I have a relatively difficult dog and a relatively difficult schedule to work with, but Eric is so accommodating. I love the nice little touch of sending the emails and pics -- they really know what a dog-parent needs. Solid five stars -- no brainer for me. Thanks Eric! read more

All of the walkers at BKB are awesome. We've used them for about two months now and have had a great experience. The initial set ups and meeting was easy. Eric is great about allowing us to edit our calendar and is very accommodating. Michael usually walks our dogs and they always look like they're having a great time! We've pretty much had every walker over the past two months and nothing but happy walks. The staff sends photos and let's you know how they did on their walk. I highly recommend them! read more

I had never used a dog walker before and was a little worried about letting my little guy go out with a stranger, but my fears were alleviated when I met Eric. He's very nice, professional, and clearly a dog lover. Eric and his crew have been walking my pug for over 6 months and things have been great. I appreciate that my dog is walked by one or two people in Eric's crew so he has some familiarity. One time my boyfriend was unexpectedly home when the dog walker arrived and he said our dog was very happy to see him. Additionally, Eric has been completely responsive and accommodated all of my last minute requests to add walks which has been a real life saver when things pop up unexpectedly. read more

These guys have been walking my Yellow Lab Harley for the past year, 5 days a week. They do a great job and Eric runs a really professional business. They always text me when they arrive, send two pictures on the walk and let me know when she's home safe. They also come feed my cat when I go upstate with my dog for the weekend. They are super organized and I can't recommend them enough! read more

Doug and Deirdre have been walking Jett for just over a year now, when Jett was about 6 months old. Doug responded quickly to our email, and we met in person soon after. We got a good vibe from him right away - positive, energetic, attentive to our pup and us. They've been walking her every week ever since. They do everything they can to work with our (sometimes erratic and changing) schudule and take good care of Jett, bringing her back from her walk happy and exercised. It's evident that they both love animals, and care about people. After hurricane Sandy, they spent evening in south Brooklyn helping people out after walking dogs all day! Without a doubt I recommend them. Afterall, we trust them with the most imporant thing in our lives! read more

Monroe came back from her stay with Eric for two days happy and healthy and he kept me updated with texts of pictures of their adventures each day! He took great care of her and I think she considered it a vacation:) read more

Brooklyn Bitches - Dog Walkers Near Me

We happened into finding Doug for help sitting our two house rabbits and are so glad we did! When he first came to meet us at our home he was thorough and attentive and took notes during our consultation on all the specifics that bunnies require (they can be a lot trickier than cats and dogs). Weather kept us from coming home as planned during our trip and Doug was so flexible and supportive during the stress of us trying to get home. He sent us pictures and updates every day and was a constant comfort during our crazy-rabbit-person separation anxiety. Doug is dedicated and truly loves what he does--it shows! We've already contacted him for the holiday season. read more

Eric , the new owner of the business, has definitely made us feel very comfortable and happy with our decision to entrust our labradoodle, whom we adore in a way some may consider irrational, to him. Our dog is a little anxious (and very big, which is a tricky combo) and Eric had multiple visits to warm up to him before he even started actually walking him. Once he did start walking him, he made a point to keep walking him instead of switching Patton to someone else on the team not only because our pup is a little skittish with strangers but because he genuinely likes spending time with him which is something we highly value in a walker. Eric is extremely flexible with our schedule and always here when we need him (which is sometimes very last minute). And, when we asked him to check in on Patton one weekend, he noticed an issue in our apartment (leak-type situation) and sat and waited for over an hour with the dog until he got a hold of the super and us. Billing is always organized and accurate and we trust Eric 100%. Basically, we feel pretty lucky to have found such a great walker and don't worry about the dog at all in Eric's hands. Lastly, we recently celebrated the pup's 2nd birthday at Lucky Dog, and Eric was there with a new toy in tow, because they are definitely best buds:) read more

Love these guys. I've been through many walkers, and these are the most solid of the bunch! They send daily pictures that I always look forward to. My dog has the same walker most of the time, but if not, it's still someone that he's familiar with and has met before. You get an invoice and google calendar upfront for each month. It's nice to be able to reference it in case you your schedule changes month to month. And you always know that you're getting charged the correct amount. If you're in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area and are looking for a new walker, I highly recommend! read more

Eric and his crew are trustworthy and totally reliable. The photos they send during walks are great and I know my dog is always in great care with any of his walkers on the team. A+ highly recommend! read more

I went away for 5 days and needed to leave my dog with someone. She gets anxious so I didn't her to just be home alone with an occasional walker. I left her with Eric and he was amazing. He kept her calm and busy, walked her even more than I do, and sent me several pictures a day to assure me she was happy and well. I couldn't be happier! read more

Brooklyn Bitches was a fantastic service! My boy Franklin loved his walkers, the other dogs he took walks with and the care and attention they provided. I loved the text messages I would get each day with pictures of my happy dog and the easy to use service leveraging Google Drive and Venmo. Couldn't have been easier or better! read more

Eric has been walking our dachshund Larry for almost 2 years now. He is always willing to go the extra mile when we need him, whether it be a last minute walk or a random favor. He and his team also send the best text message updates. The picturs of Larry are the highlight of my work day. And most importantly, Larry loves Eric! I read more

Eric has come through for me in a couple emergencies where I thought I'd be home in time to walk my dog and got seriously held up at work. He's very reliable and I love that he sends texts and photos so I know exactly when she's being walked. Every time I use him I get home and my dog tells me how awesome her walk was! Just kidding, but she does seem happy as a clam. read more

As with any dog owner, my dog is more important to me than anything. I would not trust George (10 lb Brussels) with anyone that I did not completely trust. That is why it was great when I signed up with Eric (the owner) 10 months ago and he took the time out of his day to stop by and meet George the night before their first walk. My partner and I both work full time and so we are in dire need of a trustworthy business to walk George during the day. Luckily not only does George get his daily walk (which is never too short), but Eric (or Bobby) always text me 2 pictures of him on every walk..it is the best part of my day. I highly recommend anyone in need of a dog walker to give BK Bitches a call. read more
