We recently moved out of NYC, and saying goodbye to the Luke Dogwalker crew was one of the saddest parts of our move. They've been with us since we first got our pup, Layla at 8 weeks old, and we couldn't be happier with how well they took care of her, especially Doug, our regular walker. Kevin was extremely accommodating with last minute changes when they came up, and the updates/pictures with each walk were a lovely addition to our day. Everyone was always so pleasant, chill, and helpful for these first time dog parents. We know our pup loved her walks, and we are so bummed we have to move her away from the amazing folks at Luke's! We highly, highly recommend these guys!! read more

I moved to the UWS about 3 months ago and have had Zac walking my dog for about 3 months now. They were recommended to me by my old dog walker on the east side. Hate to say this, but these guys beat my old dog walker by leaps and bounds. They are consistently helpful and always reliable. My last service was a revolving door of walkers coming and going but these past three months it's been the same great walker. They are always extremely accommodating for any last minute scheduling changes or late night walks I might need. I've also called up last minute in a bind for an overnight sitter and they've helped out. They are nothing but fantastic. I definitely recommend! read more

We love the crew at Luke's from the management (Tony and Christina) to the walkers (our pup goes bananas for Emily!). We have been working with them for close to a year and every interaction has been professional but relaxed and friendly. Unlike other dog walking programs, Luke's provides flexibility in our schedule so if there are days where my husband or I will be home to take care of the dog and don't need a walker, we can let them know in advance and the walk is simply removed from our invoice vs prepaying for the month. If you're on the UWS, highly recommend their services. read more

I don't tend to write reviews, but I want to give Tony, Christina and the entire Luke Dogwalker crew a shout out as one of the best dog walking companies out there. They have fantastic dog walkers and full coverage when someone is out. Additionally, we've recently moved and they were able to set us up with a new walker without a hitch. Our dog is almost always walked by herself or on occasion with just one or two other dogs versus those services that have ten dogs hanging off one walker. The walkers follow any special instructions and wipe our dog's paws after the walk and towel her off if they get caught in the rain. Moreover, they have on more than one occasion helped us out with last minute boarding for our pooch. All of the boarders have taken fantastic care of our dog and I would not hesitate to use them again. If you are looking for a new dog walking service or thinking of changing your walker, I recommend Luke Dogwalker above all others. read more

We have been so happy with the service at Luke Dog Walker. The admin team is excellent, always prompt and friendly when responding to emails about scheduling and last minute changes that come up. Austin, who walks our French Bulldog Evie every day, goes above and beyond engaging her and writing us thoughtful updates after each walk. He even takes great photos of her! We love Austin. Would highly recommend Luke Dog Walker. read more

Last October we adopted our dog on a Sunday afternoon and we needed a dog walker ASAP since my boyfriend and I both worked full time. Someone recommended Luke Dog Walker so we called on Monday. Tony made a house visit on Tuesday and was walking our pup, CC, by Wednesday. Over the past 7 months she's had 3 different dog walkers due to some schedule reorganization, but they always do a house visit with us first on a weekend so we can meet the new walker. All walkers have been very nice and seem to genuinely care about our dog. They are very reliable and very flexible with last minute changes. I also enjoy getting a text every day letting me know how the walk went. It's nice peace of mind to know our dog is getting a nice walk while we are at work thanks to Luke Dog Walker and their reliable service. I certainly recommend them to anyone on the UWS! read more

I've been using Luke Dog Walker for over a month now and I have been so thrilled with both Austin and Christine as our dog walkers. They are both reliable, kind, professional, and so great with my pup. They live for the dogs! Tony, one of the owners, is great and always responds to my emails super promptly. I also get daily post-walk updates from Austin/Christine. I would highly recommend Luke Dog Walker!! I know that my dog is in great hands during her afternoon walks. read more

We work with Luke Dogwalker since a year and we are so happy!!! We will definilety never go to an other place because they are always kind and friendly, but also professional and available. Our dogwalker is cleary the best!!! We have a full thurth in him. He takes care of our dog several days a week and also does the boarding. When we go in holidays, we have peace of mind that he will take care of him. Thank you Kevin and Tony! read more

We know our puppy has been in good hands with the team at Luke DogWalker. Emily J. is so caring and sweet with him -- it comes through in the updates she provides and how excited our pup is to see her every day. We've also been pleased with the service and administrative aspects of working with Tony. It's nice to support a local business, and we'd highly recommend Luke DogWalker for UWS pet parents. read more

I love this dog walking service, Tony and Christina are as good as it gets. We moved to the upper west side from gramercy last year and felt the dog walking services on this side of manhattan were over priced and disappointing. We tried numerous services until we ran into a walker with this company. I have had no complaints since we started working with Luke Dog Walker. I always joke that if they can put up with us as a client, they can put up with anyone....this is unfortunately because my partner and I both have jobs where we won't know the exact schedule until the night before or even sometimes the day of. This makes scheduling sometimes difficult but Tony has always been extremely accommodating or honest if they simply cannot make it work. Zac and Erica are our dog walkers, I don't know Erica as well but she seems extremely competent! And Zac, well, Zac has been a gem from the start. Scout has really bonded with him and it's really apparent when Zac leaves and he sleeps by the door waiting for him to come back. Tony and Christina have boarded Scout as well and he had such a great time. Scout doesn't do super well in kennel boarding (as we've noticed in the past) and this service was perfect for him. I cannot thank them enough for answering all of those late night emails, for taking care of scout like he is their own, and for just having fun with my little man. Such a great company, I cannot say it enough. read more

Thank you Luke Dog Walker!!!! We have been extremely happy with the daily walking services this business provided for our dog Jellybean. The business is very organized with easy online payment and tracking and I like that the business does its best to keep a particular walker with our dog whenever they could for consistency, but even when the backup walkers were used, they were great too! They send pics of our little Jellybean often and were honest about anything of note that came up along her walks (eg. when she ate something she shouldn't have, or was not feeling well, etc). Our dog is extremely people friendly but not always dog friendly, yet our main walker Erica was very experienced and able to find compatible dogs to buddy walk with Jellybean which we were so grateful for because the socialization has been really good for her. She has become much less dog reactive since she has been on walks with Luke Dog Walker service! We also appreciate they have overnight pet sitting, even though we did not have the chance to use it. I highly recommend Luke Dog Walker! read more

If I could give Luke Dog Walker 10 stars I would! The most reliable, professional, dependable, caring company ever. There is no other dog walking service I would ever use. I have been using them for 2 years. everything is easy, scheduling , bill paying are a breeze. Tony ( owner ) is always accommodating and makes sure my pit bull , Georgia is well taken care of. Emily has been walking Georgia since the beginning and we love her. I totally trust her with my girl! Use Luke Dog Walker , you will love them!simply the best!! Love the daily emails after the walks, sometimes even with photos!! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Luke Dogwalker. Ive been using the service for several years and have been consistently pleased with the management (Tony rocks!) and the walkers (Emily is the best!). If you are looking for a company that is reliable, responsive AND responsible then you've found them. LDW takes great care of my dog, and they take care of me too! Scheduling is a breeze, payments are easy, and I'm always alerted if there are changes or delays. These guys know my dog well and they instill confidence every single day. Support this company, they're doing it right! read more

I use Luke Dog Walker whenever I go out of town to take care of my cat. I usually request the same sitter (Emily, she's awesome!) but everyone who's taken care of my cat has been excellent. He's always in good company! read more

I am relatively new to this terrific service but my dog is a happy dog when they show up! She has had 4 different walkers since we started and although Craig is her usual she likes them all and she likes her furry partners too.. I had to add an extra, very early walk one morning and Luke Dog Walker was able to accommodate my request which I asked for just the night before. Thank you all walkers and Tony and Christina for a super service! Yay!!! read more

We used Luke Dog Walker for almost 3 years and they were amazing! We are moving outside their zone of coverage and hope we can find someone as good for our dog! Tony and his whole team are phenomenal at communicating well and make schedule changes easy and seamless. They use an online scheduling system that's really user friendly. Emily has been our dog walker for quite some time now and she is fantastic. read more

We are extremely pleased with this service. We adopted our puppy on a Saturday and Tony and Christina were walking her by Monday. Our priority was to have regular walkers and the option to board in a home, not a kennel; Luke Dog Walker provides all of that. Tony helped train our pup to walk on a leash and (to our delight) walk up and down stairs - no easy feat when living in an elevator building. Finally, our new daily walker, Ken, really goes above and beyond with communication. When an apartment in our building was on fire (yes, on fire), he gave us constant updates on the situation and put our mind at ease. Best of all, it is very obvious that our pup loves the team - when she sees them on the street, she goes bonkers with excitement. read more

These guys are great. They are so accommodating with my families sometimes erratic schedule. I get updates after every walk and even pictures on occasion. It is comforting to know Sully is in safe hands. read more

Luke Dog Walker is AMAZING and would recommend to anyone! When I lived in Chelsea, the dog walkers I used were unorganized and did some things that made me uneasy, so when I moved to the Upper West Side and started working with Tony and Christina's team, I was blown away by their professionalism, dedication to their dogs, and responsiveness. Janee walks my dog, Georgia, every day and takes incredible care of her and writes me detailed notes after every walk. My doormen regularly tell Janee she is the best dog walker they've seen and it is apparent how much she cares about the dogs under her care. Donald watched her for over a week over the holidays and she had the best time! Tony and Christina are so helpful with finding walkers outside of our normal weekday schedule as well, and send convenient invoices every two weeks. We absolutely love working with Luke Dog Walker and are so grateful to the team for being so good to our G! read more

I can't say enough great things about Luke Dog Walker and all of the folks working with Tony and Christina. Our 1 year old pup has been getting walks for the last 6 months, and she couldn't be in better hands. I very highly recommend them. read more
