NYC Pooch exceeded all of our expectations for dog walking and dog boarding. They walked our dog 3-5 times a week for 3 months. I never had to worry because I was confident NYC Pooch would make sure Leo got a nice long daily walk. rain or shine. We loved our daily updates from Gabe. He sent multiple pictures and a hilarious and cute write-up about his walk with our dog. We knew Leo was well taken care of and in good hands. NYC Pooch also let us cancel and schedule last minute. They always accommodated our complicated and busy schedule. We also used NYC Pooch for dogsitting one weekend. We got amazing photos and write-up while we were gone. We love NYC pooch and will recommend them to all of our friends. read more

These guys are amazing! I can not understate that I've had dogs for a lot of my life, lot of different dog walkers but I am staying with NYC Pooch for as long as humanly possible My walker Matt is amazing with my dog and my dog is a real handful l. She's extremely nervous, I had lots of issues with her being to afraid to go the bathroom outside, even with me Matt has never had these issues, he knows exactly how to handle her, she always does all her business with him The service and Matt send these amazing emails with photos from the walk, a GPS of where they walked You also get these awesome break downs of whether you dog did #1 and / or #2, They refill her water, always make sure the door is locked They even clean up the dogs paws after every walk, which if I'm being honest, i definitely don't do that enough Even today. I forgot to leave out doggie wipes and my dog walker got paper towels, damped them and cleaned her all up. They really are amazing, super accommodating and extremely professional. I have a camera at home and I can see how excited my dog is when Matt gets there and it's amazing how happy she is. She used to bark at everyone and flip out, was scared of going outside Seriously have absolutely nothing negative to say about them after using NYC Pooch for a long time now read more

NYC Pooch has been walking our beloved dogs since 2018. Everyone who works in the office and walks dogs is amazing. We are so grateful to have NYC Pooch in our lives and for the priority they place on the welfare and happiness of the dogs in their care. Our new puppy Percy eagerly awaits his daily walk and LOVES every minute with his fantastic walker Citlaly. The daily updates and the thoughtful communication has ensured a consistent approach to training Percy to walk and play happily and safely. The report on the walks and all of the adorable photos are a highlight of my day. Changing or adding walks and sharing information is seamless, and the NYC Pooch team is always responsive, helpful, and incredibly kind. read more

We have been using NYC Pooch as our dog walking service for the past three years. We can not recommend them enough. They are very easy to deal with and have a lot of flexibility. Our dog Thor gets walked by Alesya, who we absolutely LOVE - she genuinely cares for Thor and his well being (which give us such piece of mind whilst we are at work). We receive the most hilarious photos from their walk each day along with a detailed updated - which really brightens your inbox. Thor has great new doggy friends, who he regularly bumps into around the local park. We have always felt safe & secure with NYC Pooch entering our home each day and haven't experienced any issues ever with them. They are a really lovely team, and are such a pleasure to work with. read more

After evaluating Williamsburg area dog walkers, we chose NYC Pooch for daytime dog walking. They are organized, responsive, on-time and flexible. And most importantly, they love dogs as much as we do! The best part, is their emailed "Pup Report" sent after the daily walk. Sometimes there are pictures, sometimes they are funny, but they are always reassuring and shows that NYC Pooch is taking the best care of my pup. Price is great for the level of service we receive. read more

I used to use a different walking service but after their walkers didn't show up on two separate occasions I knew I needed to switch. My pup can be fairly difficult to walk, and requires a lot of management because she's a resource guarder and leash reactive, so I was looking for a service with a consistent walker. After lots of research, I decided to go with NYC Pooch and I'm so glad I did. Alesya is Champion's walker and she's so great with her. She was very patient while Champion took the time she needed to trust her, and she just gets dog behavior. It's very clear she's a dog lover, and she sends great daily updates! The app is an added bonus, it's a Wag-like app but with walkers that actually know what they're doing. It's super easy to schedule walks and communicate with the company or my walker when I need to. read more

We LOVE NYC POOCH! They are the absolute best. Our dog is our baby and we feel so comforted knowing he gets so well taken care of every day. We have lived in different neighborhoods in NYC and have continued to use NYC Pooch. We LOVE LOVE LOVE our current walker Aleysa. She is an absolute angel and our dog Cosmo loves her!!! She even picked him up from our wedding last June and dog-sat him that night. We love that Cosmo goes on walks with other neighborhood pups - he loves his friends! The email update I get every day is the highlight of my day - the photos bring us so much joy!! NYC Pooch is so reliable - they answer so quickly and are always available. They are also very flexible - if we work from home or go on vacation, they don't mind when we cancel our walks (with a reasonable amount of a heads-up). I really can't say enough great things about them. They're the best!!!! read more

This dog walking service exceeds all expectations. It's easy to book, submit payment online and you get amazing detailed reports at the end of the walk or service. My dog walker (Quinn) is is absolutely amazing with my puppy and she really looks forward to their walks together. I recommend NYC Pooch to anyone seeking reliable, trustworthy pet walkers and sitters. read more

NYC Pooch is great. The office team is really accessible and accommodating of my scheduling needs (and requests in general), and truly works to ensure that my puppy is in the best hands and that her walks are going smoothly. I absolutely love getting a "pupdate" with adorable photos of my puppy and a full report after each walk, and I love the app. I would highly recommend NYC Pooch to anyone looking for a dog walker--I've had a wonderful experience working with them! read more

We have been using NYC Pooch for the past six months since we got our rescue pup Barkley. We had a few different walkers in the beginning (including Cassie, who we loved) while NYC Pooch worked to find us a regular walker on our route. Eventually about a month in, we were placed with Dominick as our permanent walker. Our Barkley is a (lovable) handful - she has some resource guarding issues, requires a head halter collar, and absolutely hates going in her crate, which meant that we really needed a walker who would be very patient and calm with her. Dominick has been exactly that. He's been an extremely positive influence on her, has always answered all of my questions and responded to all my crazy dog mom concerns, and is extremely communicative if anything seems off with Barkley (and conversely, if she does anything particularly well, like being friendly to other dogs while on her walks). Also, he has a great phone camera so his pictures of Barkley with her pup-report are always top notch. :) NYC Pooch more generally has also been fantastic. Their customer service is excellent, so when I expressed concerns early on with the inconsistency in our walkers, they were extremely receptive and did their best to accommodate us despite it being the holiday season. Jenny and Brittany are the two members of the office team that I've interacted with the most, and they're extremely sweet, quick to respond, and have always been really flexible with my (hopefully reasonable) last minute cancellations. We're very happy to have found such a reliable, professional, and most of all, trustworthy team to help take care of Barkley. We can't thank Dominick and NYC Pooch enough! read more

NYC Pooch has been a life saver! SUPER responsive and also just amazing with our dog. We love our walker who comes and plays with our dog. I also love how easy the app is to use and how responsive they are when we need to cancel or change appt times. Additionally, the walker always sends photos and a "report" of sorts which is really great. We had a lot of anxiety leaving our puppy at home but now are totally at ease to leave him knowing that NYC Pooch is there to play with our pup! read more

Couldn't be happier with NYC Pooch to help us care for our puppy while we are at work. They were super responsive right from our first conversation and paired us with a dog walker within 24 hours who was available to start immediately for the services we requested. The app is super easy and the pics and messages are a great way to make sure our pup is in good hands while we are at work! read more

NYC Pooch is an amazing dog walking service. They are responsive,flexible and most importantly very responsible. Alex, our dog walker, knows are dog and her personality and leaves me personal and useful reports. I know our puppy will be well taken care of and is in good hands with NYC Pooch!! read more

Phenomenal service and care for our pets! My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service we receive and the loving care our pets receive. Whether walking our dog, feeding our cat, or pet sitting for a long weekend we have always been blown away by the consistently amazing service that NYC Pooch provides. They have always been responsive to shifting walk schedules, training requirements we have asked for the walker to support, and any other one-off questions/requests we have raised. Best of all is receiving a 'pup report' whenever they visit our pets. It is always so comforting knowing what - and how - they are doing in the middle of the day. After 2.5 years of using NYC Pooch, we can't think of a better company to trust with walking and caring for our pets while we are at work or out of town. read more

We are so happy with NYC Pooch everyday. They are so good with our little guy! We look forward to our Pup Reports everyday with great pics and fun write ups about the walk with Cosmo's friends. Thank you NYC Pooch, you've been amazing! read more

We've been using NYC pooch for 6+ years, starting with their puppy visits, then moving to regular daily walks. They've continued to be reliable, professional, and flexible with our crazy schedule and all of our needs. We trust that they find the best walkers who are responsibly trained and truly love dogs. We also love that the walks are personal and not in large groups. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our Maggie! Their emailed pup reports give a rundown of every daily walk, and make our day knowing that Mags is in good hands. We'll be using NYC Pooch for life :) read more

Update from my previous post: NYC Pooch continues to be the best dog walking service in NYC! Cannot say enough great things about our walker Luis. In addition to his genuine love and care for our dog Frank, he has been going above and beyond by actively working with Frank on his leash reactivity during his walks. When we first got Frank he could not be on the same block as another dog without lunging and barking. Thanks to the work and attention Luis has been giving Frank during walks, he can now approach smaller dogs while on a leash! When we adopted Frank we honestly never thought this would be possible. NYC pooch is the best and Luis deserves all the praise in the world. If I could rate 8/5 I would! read more

NYC Pooch is the best!! We have a 10 week old puppy and we've been using them for puppy visits. The team is incredibly responsive and the person in charge of our pup is a real expert - always comes on time and our dog loves him. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a dog! read more

I absolutely love NYC Pooch! I adopted my little baby Chloe back in October and I researched a ton on which dog walking services were best rated. I came across NYC Pooch and their deal and service just can't be beat. I knew I didn't want to use Wag or any type of service where I wouldn't necessarily get the same walker each time and I knew I wanted solo walks so that Chloe would get undivided attention. My experience has been incredible. Super friendly managers and staff. Always available for questions and you have contact with your walker and their manager directly through the app. All of the walkers are salaried and insured employees. They truly love dogs! Your walker sends full reports showing the mapped route taken and approximately 5 pictures of your pup each day showing her adventures from that day's walk. So far I have used Chelsie and John. They both walk in the downtown area and I really love them both. I highly recommend NYC Pooch. I work 8-5 M-F so I have my walker come midday for 30-60min walks. I can rest easy knowing that my Chloe is in the best of hands. Thank you NYC Pooch! So happy Chloe and I found you. read more

After 16 months without a dog walker during COVID we starting with NYC Pooch after prior walker could not accommodate us; turned out to be the best decision we ever made. Our high maintenance dogs immediately fell in love with Shanli and her after-walk reports are the highlight of our day. We are so lucky to have found NYC Pooch & Shanli and plan to keep them as a daily part of our dogs lives and ours. read more

NYCPOOCH is truly a phenomenal and welcoming company! I began working with them in February of 2020, and the amount of support and kindness I've been shown by my fellow walkers, and managers, has been unreal. Jenny (manager) is absolutely wonderful and has consistently given me support in whatever I needed! She was always available if I needed help, or even just a chat! She will make you feel so comfortable and make sure you are well taken card of! Team Pooch makes sure all pups are given the best care! There is thorough and daily communication with pup families and the furry friends couldn't be happier to have such wonderful people come take care of them and be their companion! Even though we don't all see eachother everyday, it really feels like you are a part of a family. During the quarantine I was consistently updated on what was happening with the company, and everyone worked hard to make sure us walkers were taken care of, as well as just checking in with us to make sure we were all doing okay. Pup families were also always notified about anything new going on. It was so relieving knowing that in such a hard time, there were so many people who had my back. I cannot stress how well you are taken care of as a part of the NYCPOOCH team. I 100% recommend NYCPOOCH to anyone looking for dog walkers or sitters, you won't regret it! read more

If you are looking for a dog walking company the NYC Pooch fam is the place to find the best dog walker and carer for your pup. We have the pleasure of having Michael and Ashley for our daily dog walks and they love our pup almost as much as we do. They are able to take care of our high stressed dog with no problem. On top of daily walks we have had to use the Pooch fam for some "emergencies" and they always figure it out for us and make taking care of our pup that much easier. read more

The owners, office staff, and walkers are all caring, professional, and responsive. They go above and beyond and they train their people. I have a special needs dog and have had many foster dogs and NYC Pooch not only has been flexible and accommodating, they have done it with enthusiasm and love. If you consider your dog a family member and are looking for a service who feels the same, these guys are it. read more

We recently moved to New York and have never used a dog walking service before. We are only on day two, but I wanted to write and let everyone know that the dog reports you get each day after the walk are amazing. I am not left wondering if and when my dog was walked, and where he went. I get a nice report, with photos, which even includes what potty-related-activities took place. NYC Pooch has made our transition (both human and dog) to New York City easier. read more

These guys are seriously the best. Dan (the owner) and Ben (the regular walker) came by before we decided to have them take care of our puppy and you could tell both of them were genuinely good guys. They are flexible, honest, kind and seriously take the best care of our dog who can occasionally be difficult. Couldn't ask for a better service and on top of that they are super affordable too. Pup reports; hysterical and informative. read more

I can't recommend NYC Pooch highly enough. My wife and I have a 6 year old St. Bernard who can be a bit of a handful. Dan, Shane and their team provided caring, supportive service for our little horse. He was always thrilled to see them. They provide useful, timely reports after each walk, giving us a nice little update about our guy during the day and would always let us know if there was something wrong with him. We're moving from the city and we will miss NYC Pooch very much! read more

My dog is a stubborn shiba inu, which means he is moody, particular about people, and not always friendly. The NYC Pooch Team has been extremely patient through all the challenges. They are extremely responsive, flexible with scheduling, and professional yet friendly. Being a single dog parent is not easy, especially with a difficult travel schedule, but NYC Pooch has made it possible. Their iPhone app works well, and the dog walker reports are always cute and fun to receive so that I know my dog is doing well while I am away. Thanks NYC Pooch!! read more

NYC Pooch still rocks! The team at NYC Pooch has been walking my dog for 3 years now and I don't have a single complaint. They are super reliable, always responsive and manage to keep up with my crazy schedule and provide extra walks when necessary. Their walkers take great care of my dog and truly are huge dog people. I think my pup is having a bit of a love affair with his super affectionate regular walker : ) read more

The absolute best! While searching for a dog walker, I must have contacted 10 different agencies and was barely getting responses. But NYC Pooch replied quickly and was extremely helpful in getting things started quickly and efficiently. From there, we met our dog walker, Dominick, who is amazing with our dog -- we all love him! Not only that, but this team is INCREDIBLY responsive and caring. Through their app, they are always reachable. I never had to worry or wonder what was happening. Also, our walker was always timely and gave us a heads up if he was running late. We also receive detailed reports and photos after every session, which put our minds at rest. I just can't recommend this company enough. If you are looking for a great dog walking service you can trust, do not look any further!!!!!!! read more

Brittany and the entire NYC Pooch team are AMAZING. I am not one to take time writing reviews, but feel it most warranted given the help, consideration and attentiveness that has been shown to us and our puppy! Emails are answered almost instantly and everyone has been so accommodating to our changing schedules and many last minute changes. Our walker, John, is extremely kind and wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. She has been a bit sick this week and John made sure to clean our apartment when he walked into a mess--totally above and beyond his call of duty! NYC Pooch also called to let us know she was sick right after John arrived and let them know. During our afternoon walk today, NYC Pooch has been kind enough to make arrangements for John to pick up our puppy's meds at the vet so she can get them earlier in the afternoon instead of waiting until we are home. I cannot say enough positive things! We are informed promptly if our walker needs to be changed for the day due to illness/scheduling and the pup reports are an awesome way to stay in the know while we are at work. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful company. You will not be disappointed! read more

Ive been using them for the past 7 years, they are the absolute best! The pup reports are the highlight of my day. I couldn't recommend them enough, they are always reliable and do a great job. Your dog will be in great hands! read more

We recently discovered NYC Pooch through our trainer and they have been absolutely amazing. We have a puppy in Manhattan and NYC Pooch has been super easy to work with and extremely accommodating. They have a great app that allows me to communicate with our walker and the NYC Pooch team. After each walk I receive a report through the app and an email copy, of the activities from the walk and several pics which I now look forward to each day. Payment through the app is super easy. I highly recommend NYC Pooch and would encourage everyone to use them. read more

I dont have a dog. BUT I live in a coop that has 231 units and we are dog friendly. In the lobby was one of our dogs with a NYC Pooch certified dog trainer, Kristen Studioso. I could not... believe...my eyes how she handled this dog. It was like watching "sign language " for a dog. She was totally tuned into him, messaging him constantly with her hands, and he responded immediately. The back and forth communication was something I have never seen before. And the dog was so happy being with her. I spoke with her a little about her work. Not only is she a great dog person, she has great people skills and calmed ME down after a stressful day of job searching. She would work well with clients frustrated about their dogs who are at their wits end. Undoubted she could turn around any difficult situation people may be having with their dogs and bring harmony back into the home:) read more

These guys are SO GOOD! Daily updates via email, treats, great personalities - my Golden is super happy with these guys. We had Colin in our old apartment downtown. He was the nicest person and Bailey loved him! Now we have John in our new neighborhood and he is excellent too! I was recommended NYC POOCH and I would heartily recommend them to others. Brittany and the team are so so helpful and will always do their best to accommodate even at short notice. Keep it up guys! read more

NYC Pooch has become like family to us. They've walked our dog 5 days a week for over a year now. The walkers are all so attentive and caring, the team overall is super responsive and they are incredibly trust worthy. We've also had our walker stay in our home with our dog while we've been away and it's been such a breeze. If you live downtown John Somervile is AMAZING. read more

It's been a little over 3 years since my last review, so I thought it would be a good idea to give an update. Still loving the team at NYC Pooch, and haven't had a single desire to switch to another service. Honestly, I barely write reviews, but the team at NYC Pooch deserves recognition for the outstanding service they provide. My pup loves our walker, and I never worry about her well being. I know I mentioned this in my last review, but it deserves to be brought up again... the pup reports! I truly look forward to receiving the daily pup reports-- they legitimately brighten up a long work day. I love hearing about where my pup ventured to that afternoon, which of her doggie friends she met up with... the list goes on. Oh! And the pictures that come with the pup reports! I have a folder in my email inbox where I keep all of the pup reports I've received over the years, and the pictures serve as such a beautiful little timeline of her growing up :) I could go on forever, but I'll end it with this... if you're looking for a dog walker, STOP LOOKING. CALL NYC POOCH. They are the best in the city, hands down. read more

My pup just had his first walk with NYC Pooch and so far, so great. Sabrina gave me a lovely write up post-walk and took tons of photos of my boy and his walking pal. He looked tired and happy--the two best measures of dog walk-success. More to come as we continue to use NYC Pooch! read more

NYC Pooch is by far the best dog walking service I have encountered. I've lived in BK for many years and have been through a lot of walkers. The team in the office is responsive, accommodating, and proactive in making sure that everything is taken care of. We (and more importantly our dogs) LOVE all of the walkers. They go above and beyond in taking care of the pups, no matter what happens, and make sure to keep us in the loop on the good days and the not so good days. We feel so taken care of and couldn't recommend them highly enough! read more
