Rick Perner

I am so glad that we – or rather my dog — found Rick. We were using Brooklyn Waggers which was really hit or miss since they switch up the walkers so much. After an incident where my dog, absolutely terrified of the newest in the line of BW walkers (and he usually *loves* humans, but this guy just did not give a damn about dogs), escaped from our apartment building, we switched to Rick and couldn’t be happier. Rick actually happened to be with the woman who found my dog when he ran from the other walker, so it was an easy choice! Rick is friendly, trustworthy, and really flexible considering my all-​over-​the-​place schedule. And he truly loves pups, and my pup loves him — if it’s an off-​day, my dog will get really amped up around the time Rick would normally come by, heading over to the door to wait for him. Highly recommended.

When I moved to GP my biggest concern was finding a dog walker for my furry buddy. My last dog walker was great and I had low hopes I’d find someone else as good. Thankfully Rick fits the bill. He’s flexible with my freelance schedule and my dog loves him. If you’re looking for someone in the area to take care of your four legged friend you couldn’t do better than Rick.

Rick is absolutely the best! He’s so reliable and friendly and my dog loves him. Rick is both our daily walker as well as our go-​to solution when we need to board our dog for occasional weekends and vacations. He’s great with dogs, super friendly, solidly dependable, and quick to respond to requests too. I would recommend him to any dog owner in the neighborhood.

I literarily signed up for Unilocal just so I could leave this review for Rick.
He’s been walking and boarding my dog over the last 2 years. Super reliable and always available last minute which is super accommodating to my unpredictable schedule. Knows how to handle my dog who is unique in his rescue ways, but i think he always enjoyed his walks and boarding time with Rick. Unfortunately, i’m leaving the area and will be hard to find another to live up to the standards in which Rick took care of my dog.

Rick has been our regular dog walker for over three years, and he’s great. He comes each weekday for a midday walk, and when I go away he also boards our dog at his home. He’s great in dealing with the quirks of my dog, a rescue who has some socialization issues as well as some medical concerns. Rick is responsive, reliable, and trustworthy. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Rick has been such an asset in taking care of our pups. Our dogs adore him. When we see him walking his own dogs in the neighborhood our dogs get so excited to greet him. They are tired out after the 30 minute walk. Rick is professional, easily accessible by text /​cell phone and as flexible as one can expect a busy dog walker to be. I would highly recommend Rick Perner.

Rick has been walking my dog for three years now and he is awesome!!! I can really tell that Rick loves my dog and I see how much my dog loves him. I couldn’t ask for a more attentive, responsible and flexible person to take care of my best friend. In my line of work (I freelance) so it is absolutely key for me to have someone whom I can trust to pick up my dog when I’m not home and walk him. And Rick is amazing at working with my schedule. Even if it’s at the very last minute and no matter how late at night, He’s also great at dogsitting when I’m in a jam and have to leave town for short and long periods of time. I know my dog loves those weekends because he comes back tired and exhausted from playing with Rick and his dogs all weekend long. I really can’t recommend Rick enough or say how much I value his services.

I’ve been using Rick for 5 months now, and the experience has been nothing but positive. My dog loves Rick, and Rick is great about being flexible and helping out whenever I need it. You can tell that he has a real love of dogs, and I trust him entirely. Rick is totally reliable. I absolutely recommend him!

Rick is WONDERFUL! He walks my dog every weekday, and boards him for a weekend about once a month.
My dog weighs 80 pounds and is very excitable. From the first time Rick met him, he knew exactly how to calm him down and keep him happy. They formed an instant bond, and seeing Rick is definitely the highlight of my dog’s day. Rick takes him out for at least a half hour (sometimes longer), and he makes sure my dog gets out at around the same time every day, which is really helpful in planning my own schedule.
Rick is totally reliable and willing to do whatever he can to help. I’ve texted him at the last minute to ask for his help and he always does what he can. There are days where he has reorganized his schedule so that he can pick my dog up first when I’ve had to leave for work early so my dog doesn’t wait for too long. When he boards my dog, he always picks him up and drops him off.
I cannot speak highly enough of Rick. I know that I can trust him completely with my dog (not to mention the key to my apartment!), and he’s made my dog a much happier puppy!

Rick is a fantastic dog walker. Reliable, can call him anytime when your in a jam — working late, he’ll come pick up your pup. He has been walking my english bulldog Mason for over 3 yrs now. Mason can be very temperamental/​stubborn but he is patient and has created a great bond with him. If you need a dog walker a 100% recommend him.
