Finding a dog walker in Brooklyn wasn't easy- some had ridiculously long forms, some had wait lists, some did not offer private walks that were reasonably priced, etc. Enter Urban Wag. Meet and greet was easy, and the dog walker they assigned us (Hi Brad!) was so considerate. Henry is particular (i.e. spoiled), and was having a hard time adjusting to the city since the move from suburbia. Brad would carry him to a place he can pee, dry him off if it rained, and spend some cuddle time indoors if the walk outside was short. Henry isn't socialized well, and I was delighted to learn that Brad was able to find a match where Henry was able to progress to buddy walks- thanks so much! Online scheduling and payment is super easy, and they are very quick to respond to last minute requests. Nothing but great things to say, which is a big deal since I'm a pretty picky dog momma! read more

It's refreshing to see a dog company run so efficiently and Min's responsiveness puts me at such ease when I'm at work. I worry about my dog Charlie all the time so I'm always changing up walks and asking a million questions (sorry guys I'm sure you get a ton of these all day long, but thanks for being so accommodating.) Joey has been walking Charlie, and they have a special bond it really shows. Marielis has walked him a few times also and both of them truly are dog lovers. I've been in the neighborhood for 5 years now having used several dog walkers. 6 months in, I'm just really impressed by Urban Wag--the responsiveness, pics, gps tracker, and just the fact all of them really care. Great group of people, who go above and beyond in any weather condition! read more

BEST OF THE BEST. now that you are here, you can stop your search for the best Williamsburg dog walkers. we all care about getting the best for our pups at the right price, and with urban wag you never have to make a compromise. I've had many dog walkers over the years, individuals and organizations, and here's where urban wag is amazing: 1) best status reporting system: for every walk, you get an email with the route they took, when they arrived, number/type of eliminate, AND a picture of your dog! (my dog always has her true happy face in them) 2) they are reliable and take the full time requested to walk your dog; a 15-min walk MEANS a 15-min walk. I used to have another organization that would come in, walk my dog for 10 min, writing about how much dog was smiling for 2 to 3 min, then check out their man-bun in the mirror for 2 min, take a piss in my bathroom, then leave. i mean, sure they were near the ficinity of my dog for like 15+min, but actual walking/playing time is 2/3 what i paid for. i also had local individual dog walkers that say they will come by twice a day for 15min, but actually comes once a day for 8 min. 3) very competitive pricing. i think they are relatively new with a great core group of walkers who are passionate about their job, unlike other organizations with high walker turnover and therefore a lot of inexperienced walkers who are just trying to make a few bucks. you would be crazy not to check out urban wag read more

I was staying in Brooklyn for 3 months for work and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I met Min, Nicole, and Marielis. Immediately I had this feeling they were trust worthy enough (I'm super particular with bad dog walker experiences). Nicole and Marielis are so great with my dog Soldier. And Min is so accommodating with my last minute requests! This gps tracker notification email after every walk blows my mind. They inform me always about everything, and I really appreciate that about them! One day there was a delay and Min immediately informed me in advance they were going to be an hour behind today. My last walker lied about it and said he came when I had proof he didn't I can't thank them enough, you really made my stay in Brooklyn at ease!! Xoxo Kim & Soldier read more

You know you have an amazing dog walker when your neighbors ask which company you use because the "walker is so sweet and attentive to your dog!" We first met the owner, Min, at the dog park and struck up conversation because he is so nice. He gave us his card, and we started using Urban Wag (over the competition) because of mainly because of the app they use. Each day, I get an email which shows me the route my pupp walked, along with photographs, comments from the walker, and # of times my dog went potty. I love it when I'm at work and can see the route they took and pictures from that day. What really sets Urban Wag apart and keeps us loyal to them is the walkers. We have been using this service for a while and employees have come and gone, but every single person who comes into our apartment and takes care of our pup is genuinely nice and trustworthy. We are especially fond of Conor, our current walker, who has been taking our italian greyhound out every day. Both of our two dogs LOVE Conor and they are always so excited when they see him. We see how caring Conor is with our pups, and it feels good to our dog is in his hands. He is also super nice when we are home and have a chance to catch up face to face. In addition, Urban Wag just seems really well connected within the community. I always feel comfortable asking Min and his walkers for recommendations/advice when it comes to boarding, vets and other dog-related issues. One time, Min gave us a heads up about a not so nice dog in our building, which we were glad to know about. One more important item- Urban Wag is really fair when it comes to last minute schedule changes and/or cancellations. Min occasionally sends a reminder email if there is a 3-day weekend coming up or something, just incase you forget. I've also texted Conor to see if he has time to take our second pup out for a walk -- they always pull through. We are very grateful! read more

I have been using this service close to a year now. Very happy customers. They are flexible and on it. Highly recommend! read more

Urban Wag Brooklyn - Dog Walkers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Min and his team are amazing. We have a bulldog and they understand the breed's sensitivities, specially regarding overheating. That's because they are bulldog owners themselves! We became clients since Urban Wag was launched and without a doubt decided to board our dog with them during our Summer vacation. It was the best decision: we got daily pictures of our dog's "adventures" and we could relax knowing he was in the best hands. It was like leaving our dog with family members. We came back home to a super happy puppy! We couldn't ask for a better service! read more

Marielis and Kano have recently been walking my dog for the past 2 months and I can't be any happier with them. They are true dog lovers and it really shows. Min the founder is super responsive to all my texts and emails, and follows up immediately within minutes! That's insane to me especially with how many clients they walk (I can't imagine how many questions and emails they get a day). This guy definitely runs a very organized and tight ship. One thing that really stood out most was when I had to stay late for work and I needed an extra evening walk last minute. Min responded immediately saying he can get a walker there in 30min! Talk about going above and beyond. If only I could give more than 5 stars on Yelp. Thank you urban wag team for all that you do. I don't know what I'd do without you guys! read more

Min and the entire urban wag team are phenomenal! Super accommodating and provides a range of walking options (which is really nice when my pup only needs to be let out in the back yard to pee). Ps. It doesn't hurt that I get surprised with a photo of my pup in the middle of the day. read more

The best dog walking service in Brooklyn! They are professional, reliable, flexible, and I'm pretty sure my dog would leave me for her walker if she had the chance. read more

Min, Marielis, Nicole and the Urban Wag team are a truly special bunch of animal lovers. We adopted our pup 4 months ago and found Urban Wag around the same time. She's an anxious dog who is scared of people and other dogs. The team has been so good with her, gently working to increase her confidence and comfort with them in and around the apartment. When she got sick, Urban Wag didn't hesitate to help out with specialized feedings and sending us detailed notes after each walk reporting on how she was. Min is the most responsive person I've ever met, answering any communication or my million questions within minutes. Lately our dog has been walking with Marielis who has been helping us socialize her with other dogs and sends updates on her progress! I feel so grateful and lucky to have found Urban Wag, we love them! read more

I love Urban Wag!! I trust Min and the whole Urban Wag team with my sweet Maya. Maya was rescued 6 months ago and feels so safe with Min! When I go away for a long weekend, I always feel confident leaving Maya with Min! The walkers send me updates on their walks and are always there when i am in a pickle! LOVE and TRUST URBAN WAG! read more

I recently moved from out of state and needed someone to walk Rocky my Yorkie. It was new area for me so didn't know if I could trust anyone. I decided to give Urban Wag a chance based on these reviews. Let me just say Min has been super helpful, and seems to be very genuine which keeps me at ease knowing Rocky is in good hands. Glad I picked them. read more

I have a bulldog and I am so happy Urban Wag offers 15 minute walks; it's perfect for the breed! Min and his staff are WONDERFUL people and extremely reliable. I would recommend Urban Wag to anyone who needs a walker for their best friend! The fact that they don't do pack walks makes me feel comfortable that my dog is getting full attention. I love their GPS tracking system that updates me real time. read more

Min is incredibly responsive and flexible; I'm not convinced he doesn't have a 10-person customer support team managing all requests and schedules! I remember one occasion during which he agreed to come to our apartment literally last minute in order to try to get our puppy to poop. Our dog also refused to actually walk for the first few months (as in, would plop down and mouth you if you tried to move him), and Min and his walkers were very patient with him as he learned. The GPS notification system is fantastic, too! You get an email confirming your dog's walk is over, whether he peed/pooped, and fun pictures. I'd recommend Min and his team to any friend. His responsiveness is truly unparalleled, which is incredibly important to dog owners with unpredictable schedules. read more

Urban Wag is a wonderful resource for dog owners in Brooklyn. The initial correspondence with Minchul was simple and seamless and setting up weekly walks was a breeze. Our walker, Conor was the best part. He took his time with the pups, sent pictures after every walk, and always made us feel that our dogs were in great hands. I cannot recommend him and Urban Wag enough. read more

Urban Wag is more than a stellar dog walking service, it truly feels like an extension of family. I trust Min and his team implicitly, they strike the perfect balance of warmth and professionalism, and their contagiously positive vibes seem to rub off on my dog Cappadonna who used to be a jerk but is always in a good mood now when I get home from work. No new dog walkers. Urban Wag forever. read more

Urban Wag is by far the coolest and most fun dog walking company out there! Min and his team of professional walkers make me feel completely at ease while I'm being a NYer and juggling too many responsibilities and demands during the work day. Min's warmth and sense of humor shines through in the fun photos he takes and shares with us on Instagram and his funny captions always match perfectly with the adorable pooch pics that will make you laugh out loud and swoon at the same time! The emails and software Urban Wag uses to track your furbaby's walk and number 1's and 2's is great- and I always sigh with relief and gratitude when I know my girl has been taken out and taken great care of by Min and the Urban Wag Team! read more

I have been using Min and Urban Wag for a while now and they are fabulous. 100% trustworthy and good people. Prices are very reasonable as well. I love how I get photos of my pup and a map of his walk too. They will also feed your pups too. I wouldn't use anybody else! read more

Min and the Urban Wag team are honestly amazing!! I was in a bind, having to travel for work last min and had no place for my dog Brody to go. Min and his team couldn't have been more helpful. My dog stayed with Min and his staff for all 5 days and they texted me daily with photos and videos of him playing. Brody was so happy and the price was lower than any other place I have used before! While Dog sitting isn't part of Brooklyn Wag normal services, they were eager to help. They love what they do and it shows! Thank you so so much! xo EM & Brody read more

Urban Wag is awesome. The set up was fast and easy. The walker was on time and friendly upon arrival. Usually my dog tends to be a bit shy meeting new people but they made sure my dog was comfortable and happy. Certainty will be staying with them for a while! read more

We've been using Urban Wag for over a month now and it has been absolutely wonderful! Min is always quick to respond, which is so appreciated. It really puts me at ease knowing that our dog is in such great hands. I would highly recommend hiring Urban Wag as your dog walker. I think they have pretty comparable prices to other walkers in the area, but I'm so satisfied with the company and Min that the cost doesn't even matter. Plus, their Instagram is the cutest!! read more

Urban Wag is great! They have been walking my dog since September and I don't have enough good things to say! They are professional, quick to respond and always go above and beyond, you can tell they really care about the dogs! After they walk your dog you alway receive a full update complete with photos and a funny description of how your dog behaved on the the walk. I definitely would recommend!!! read more

I don't normally write reviews for anything, but I was very impressed by this service. A situation came up where I needed a dog walker the next day, and they got back to me immediately. The meet and greet was done within the hour of the sent email. Not only were they accommodating, but also super friendly! Will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

Urban wag is an awesome dog walking service with various options to cater to your pup and owners needs. Min and his staff are super friendly, professional, and reliable. I have already recommended this service to several of my friends and coworkers who have also had positive experiences. read more

I always see these guys walking dogs and they are so nice we started talking. Good coincidence I was leaving for few days in Miami. Let me tell you my cat Gaspard has never been in such good hands!!! I left my keys and received pictures of him and news everyday. Most of all when I came back my dear Gaspard looked like if he had been on holidays as well. Good mood, cuddling, running around the apt and playing. I left him to neighbors the 3 last time and he was really not the same and that killed me to leave him sad. Now with Brooklyn Wag I can enjoy some getaways without being worried all the time thinking about my best friend. I came from France with him and he his my family here. Pets are family. So it's good to ensure they stay with the right people who love animals and treat them well. Thumbs Up! read more

I feel so lucky to have found Urban Wag! I could not ask for a better, more responsible company. We had a bad experience with another company in Brooklyn and are so thankful to have found Min and his team. They are responsive, extremely reliable, and so good with our dog. We have a puppy and they have transitioned him from home visits to walking him now that he is vaccinated. On his walks, we receive photos, GPS map tracking, and updates on when/where he does his business. It's such a great service and they truly care about our dog. Ultimately, they are just really good people who want the best for your pet. We also have a visible pet camera and when we were checking in during the beginning of the visits, we saw how excited they were to see our dog and they also were doing training with him, asking him to "sit" or "wait" or "look" when they fed him, played with him, or put him in his crate--which is above and beyond what we'd ask for or anticipated. I can't say enough great things about them! read more
