I just met Addison the Dog Walker at Joe Coffee. I thought the dog was his simply because of the…read moreway he interacted with the dog and the dog with him. I chatted with him for a few minutes and he generously shared his thoughts and tips about the competitive business of dog walking when I asked him for that advice. It was a great conversation and I felt strangely compelled in that moment to write this review and snap a pic to capture the moment. Thanks for the chat, Addison. I believe any Chelsea or Hell's Kitchen dog would be lucky to have you as their walker!

Addison has been walking my beloved girl, Molly, for the past few months, and we couldn't be…read morehappier with him. I had had a dog walker who was super unreliable (cancelled on me last minute, lost my keys twice), whose boss nickel and dimed me for everything, without taking any responsibility for any of their wrongdoings. Addison is extremely reliable and communicative. He walks Molly in her group five days a week while I'm at work. I was hesitant about her walking in a group before, but he never walks too many dogs at once, and brings his helper if needed. He sends me plenty of photos, and it's clear that she's having a blast! He really learns their personalities and tells me how she's progressing on her walks and in the group. You can tell that he cares for each individual dog so much! What a relief when I'm away at work every day.

Adam is great! My rescue Leo is very shy with people and very particular with who he warms up to…read more It only took a couple of walks for him to feel comfortable with Adam--so much so that if we ever run into him in our walks, he runs straight to Adam to say hi. He's great with communication--always updating me on timing and Leo's "business" for the day-- and is very flexible with our changing schedules. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in the FiDi area.

We've been using Strutting Mutts for over 5 years--first with our beloved dog Toby, who received…read morethe absolute best care and loved his walks with Darnell and Cory. When we brought home our two new pups, choosing Strutting Mutts again was a no-brainer. Whether it's walks or overnight stays at their home, we always know our dogs are in the best hands. Cory, Paul, Darnell and the whole crew truly go above and beyond, and we're so grateful. Highly recommend Strutting Mutts to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional dog care in Brooklyn!

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.

TLC has been walking our dog winnie since she was just 3 months old. She's now 2 and loves them…read more When she sees them on the street she always tries to drag me over to say hi. They pair off dogs for walks based on their personalities and as such winnie now has a whole network of doggy girlfriends she walks with and adores when we see them on the street or in the park. They've always been reliable (have not canceled in our 2 years of daily walks) and have helped develop Winnie's leash manners. They keep us updated every day on her walks and always treat our pup extremely well. Prices are very competitive especially for the quality of service they provide.

They were dependable, responsive, and always fair with their fees. They even sent pictures most days and always reported how our dog did on her walk. (And our dog is NOT as easy walker.) One day, when my fiancee and I both had to leave for work with the pup not feeling very well, Lenny was nice enough to adjust his schedule to check on her mid-day. We moved a few neighborhoods away last summer, but we continue to recommend TLC to anyone we know in the old Brooklyn Heights/Cobble Hill/Boreum Hill neighborhood.

I have always felt relaxed leaving my pet at home knowing that Sam would check in on her! My dog is always getting into mischief (for ex: breaking into the refrigerator when I am not home) and Sam has taken care of the situation every time. He will even text me pictures of the damage so I know exactly what happened/what my dog may have eaten. Overall, my experience with Brooklyn Bone has been superb and I would highly recommend them!

My wife and I have been using Dogger's services for our medium-sized rescue, Olive, for over two…read moreyears, and I can't say a single bad thing about them! Ian, Basia, and their dedicated team of dog-walkers were always very professional, trustworthy, reliable, and accommodating. Our busy schedules were constantly shifting, but Dogger was always willing to help accommodate our last minute changes and service requests. We used Dogger's daily dog-walking and weekend/holiday dog-sitting services, as well, both of which we and our dog loved! Unfortunately, my wife and I are moving out of the city, and while we'd love to bring Dogger with us, we would highly recommend them to any dog owner living in the areas that they serve. Two thumbs up and five stars all around for the best dog-walking business in the five boroughs!
