Lola and I have been so happy since finding Khalid…read more We had been using another walker in the neighborhood but their hours were so limited - basically no evenings,mornings or weekends (WTH?), they frequently walked Lola earlier than the already too early (to fit their schedule) 2 hour time window I requested and worst of all my dog never went poo on her walks (my Lola is far from poo shy). Kind of defeats the whole purpose if the dog don't go. Since switching over to Pets on the Move, things couldn't be more different. Hours are much more flexible, so I can schedule walks according to our schedule, my Lola is walked within the time frame I request, she always goes poo! On top of all that, Khalid texts me so I know what time she was walked and am not stressing out wondering when I need to rush home - a very much appreciated extra! Lola loved him from the first meeting and though she is always super excited to see me when I get home whether it be from work or just downstairs to check the mail, she does seem content and calm after her walks. Thanks for being so awesome and reliable! I love my girl and she deserves the very best - Pets on the Move!

I returned home each time to a clean floor and a happy pup. Recently, the bf started working full-time and we decided our puppy, though adorable, is definitely not ready to be home alone just yet. So we decided to hire Khalid again. Though we inquired with a couple of other walkers in the area, none of them were nearly as responsive, and their rates were the same, so we decided to stick with Khalid, who we were already confident in. I can't stress enough how terrific he is! He leaves us a quick note every day to let us know how things have gone, happily provides fresh food/water upon request for the dog, and responds to last-minute requests for additional visits super quickly. We feel so lucky to have found him!

All it took was giving them a shot and Might i say, the best service ever! They take their time to really get to know your pet. They have a dedicated walker to walk your dog and only your dog. I absolutely love their services and wouldn't trust any other. They take care of my Chinchilla's currently and they do the job as would I. I highly recommend them. They do not do group walks (unless you ask I may assume) to make sure that your pet gets a one on one. They always got great specials going on and they definitely are competitive on prices! Give these guys a shot, you won't choose any other service provider after that, I guarantee it!

We LOVE RIS! Ris is such a great dog walker that we were nervous about moving (even within our…read moreneighborhood) for the fear that we wouldn't be in his route anymore. But we are SO GLAD that we somehow found Ris when we moved to Brooklyn two year ago. I can see how much our pup loves Ris because of the few instances we've both been in apt together and he cuddles right up to Ris. Ris has also watched him while we're out of town and it's almost like we weren't gone, he's always such a happy pup when we return. I could say so much more, like how flexible and reliable Ris is, and how much I appreciate the daily updates and dealing with/cleaning up after a pup who sometimes chews up random objects in the apt. Ris was also very flexible with my schedule while I was working and going to school, sometimes doing long walks or a late night walk. We really lucked out when we found Ris (and so did the pup!).

Entrusting Mr. Barkypants, my first-born son, to a dog walker is akin to how I imagine it might…read morefeel to someday entrust a less furry child of mine to a nanny: He/She sure as hell better be committed, conscientious, able to survive blizzards*, and love Mr. Barkypants as his/her own. Using this (perhaps slightly unreasonable) standard, I interviewed many, many dog walkers before I found Dean Gray of The Dog Train, a dog walking and training company that Dean and his business partner own and operate. Though I haven't yet had to put them to the blizzard test*, it is clear that Dean is an excellent dog walker and human being, more generally. Importantly to me, Dean and his business partner are the only dog walkers in their small company and they generally only walk one dog at once (or three dogs, together, at the most, who have had time to acclimate to one another). I feel strongly about not having just any random person walk Mr. Barkypants: I've witnessed how some walkers who work at larger operations treat (or rather mistreat) the 5-10 dogs they walk at once. Sadly, it doesn't seem uncommon for some dog walkers, on the Upper West Side at least, to roughly yank leashes or yell and scream at dogs, or to refuse to stop walking to allow one of their charges to use the little dog's room, or to tie dogs up to a post in the park while the walker enjoys a cigarette and long chat with his friends. I am confident that Dean does NOT do this; Mr. Barkypants would probably behave very differently with him than he does. Interestingly, though Mr. Barkypants isn't terribly fond of strangers and he is particularly non-fond of strangers who are male and who wear hats, he took to the hat-wearing Dean like he took to liver treats from the first or second walk on. Dean has a gentle, quiet, calm, non-domineering manner with dogs (and humans, really). He isn't embarrassed about speaking to dogs in goofy voices -- a talent I quite appreciate. Moreover, wrt his human dealings, too, Dean is prompt and as honest as Abe: He lets us know when he isn't able to walk a full hour (because of severe weather or sickness) and deducts from his pay despite our asking him to take the full amount. In truth, I do find Dean's business partner, Jessie, to be less conscientious. In contrast to Dean, who deducts whenever he does not walk the full hour -- even if it's due to circumstances beyond his control like extreme heat -- in our experience, Jessie consistently shaved time off of walks. I know this is not unusual for dog walkers in Manhattan, but it just highlighted for us the difference between a truly excellent walker and a more run of the mill one. In one instance, she also did not call us when she was unable to open the inner door of our home, until after the time for the walk had passed, claiming that she had called Dean for our number and that he didn't have it. (He does have it and texted it to her.) If she'd called when she'd arrived, we would've been able to arrange for her to get in the door. She insisted on charging us for the walk, anyway, because she had stopped by. Luckily, we have Dean almost all the time. Rates, by the way, are extremely reasonable for Manhattan dog walking, especially since Mr. Barkypants gets Dean all to himself on walks. According to their website, Dean is bonded and insured as a dog walker and is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. Dean is also Animal Behavior College certified. I haven't hired Dean for dog training, since Mr. Barkypants is already perfect. ;) But I can speak with knowledge about Dean's excellent credentials as a dog walker. He *will* treat your dogs with respect and patience -- or at least I'm pretty sure they will based on how they've treated my first born son. I can't recommend him enough. ---------- *I've walked for an hour and a half through snowstorms while sleep deprived at midnight (uphill both ways, barefoot ;) to give my baby a good walk. Anyone who takes him out better give a shiznit -- or better, yet, two.

We have an extremely anxious dog named Sadie-- who does not allow strangers to approach her-- but Melissa and Catherine patiently worked with her. In the past, we've met walkers who refuse to take on anxious pets. In a matter of weeks, Melissa and Catherine were not just able to put on her leash and walk her, but also won her complete trust and affection. Now whenever Sadie sees them, she squeals with joy and rolls onto her back to demand belly rubs. Mollywood Paws goes the extra mile with your dog, offering completely personal walks if desired and leave written notes with summaries of each walk. Whenever we've had them pet sit, they've been completely accommodating to the unexpected needs and difficulties that have arisen. We're not sure what we would have done without them.
