    Hope getting her greenie.

    I don't even know where to begin but I'll start by simply restating what so many other reviews have said... RuffCity is in a league of their own and is the best dog walking outfit in the city. Stacia and Abby are SUPER responsive and run RuffCity with the utmost professionalism. My dog, Hope, is absolutely in love with Hallie and I know the feeling is mutual. They're legit bonded. It's adorable. In fact, while my upcoming move to the west side will require a new walker be introduced to Hope (still a RuffCity walker, of course and thankfully), I will be making sure Hope and Hallie get together at least once a month to catch up. How could I deprive either of them? Anyway, tl;dr... use RuffCity for your dog walking needs. You won't regret it and neither will your dog.

    I am so so grateful that I found RuffCity. They have provided me with excellent care for my beloved Yorkie for almost 2 years! They are always quick to respond and able to accommodate changes to our schedule. My walker, Pat, has been a trusty pal for my little dog. He runs over to greet her (which he has never done before to a walker or sitter) and she always returns him happy. Their overnight care is excellent as well. The email updates provide me with piece of mind and typically include very cute photos. I can't recommend this company enough. If you are in the fence, don't worry!! I was nervous about trusting my little dog with anyone, but they have proved time and time again to go above and beyond.

    Zoe on her walk with Melissa. Who doesn't love getting photos like this at work!?

    Cannot say enough great things about Ruff City! Stacia is incredibly accommodating and my dog, Zoe, loved her daily walks with Melissa. I've also used them for overnights where Melissa hung out at my place with Zoe for a few days. The daily "pupdates" and photos from walks are something to look forward to while you are grinding it out at the office. Highly recommend the Ruff City family, your beloved canine will be in great hands! They've become my go-to for all things dog walking/sitting related.

    See all

    Stacia and her team made my experience as a first time mommy with a "special needs" dog as painless as possible.

    Yorkville, Upper East Side

    I've been using Bark Ave for a few months now and haven't been able to rave enough about it! They…read morego so above and beyond and really care about your furbaby. I always get super fast responses through email so I'm comfortable knowing that they're readily available in case of an emergency. In case Rusty chewed up anything (he's 7 months old, you know how it goes) they helped clean it up and were totally transparent about it! They even replen his water bowl, etc. My Rusty always looks forward to his daily small group walks and I rest easy at work knowing that he's in great hands. The rates are also incredible- the quality for the amazing price ($12 for a small group walk, $22 for private!!) is unbeatable. 10/10 stars isn't enough!!

    Used their services regularly for our rescue mutt for about a year (2021-22). At first, Carole the…read moremanager was very responsive and helpful over email and our dog seemed happy with the walker, Darrel. The service we agreed upon was for Darrel to walk our dog and then put out his food and fresh water for him before leaving. There were frequent problems-- small at first-- with following the instructions. Darrel would forget to refill the water dish or would not close the refrigerator after feeding the dog (the dog food is in there). Each time we communicated the problem to Carole, she would tell us she'd remind Darrel but the problems continued. Once or twice, Darrel left our apartment door unlocked after walking the dog and bringing him home (luckily nothing bad happened). The final straw was that Darrel forgot to feed the dog a couple of weeks ago. We reached out to Carole to address the issue, which to us represented an escalating pattern of inadequate care for our dog and disregard of our simple instructions. Her response was that she "didn't like the tone" of our email, said that feeding and not charging extra for it was "doing a favor"-- charging extra to feed the dog was never something that was mentioned to us AT ALL throughout the course of the year we were using their services-- and proceeded to say she would no longer work with us. No apology, no attempts to make things right-- just an unwillingness to take feedback and accept responsibility when something that jeopardized the well-being of our dog happened on their watch. We have moved on to another walking company and are much happier with their services and willingness to communicate. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of zero is because these mistakes didn't happen every time our dog was walked and there were some weeks throughout the year where everything went according to plan. Would very much recommend against using this small business since they don't take responsibility for their mistakes, don't respond effectively to requests to correct them, and simply terminate their working relationship when you point out flaws in their service.
