Happy Tails In Manhattan

Brian is the BEST!!! He has been walking and pet sitting my dog Shiloh for years now. Brian is super reliable and trustworthy. I couldn’t ask for better service. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Brian started walking my 13 year old doxie a few months ago. My dog is pretty stubborn when it comes to walking and who she will walk with. She easily adapted to walking with Brian and looks forward to his arrival! Brian is reliable and often available for last minute evening walks if i am stuck at work. His daily texts are great and provide some humor in the day. I recently referred Brian to a friend for cat sitting and they also had a positive experience!

There is no better break in the workday than Brian’s daily post-​walk text. Telling me with a lot of humor my little man had a good walk.
Brian is great about scheduling around my work travel and administering my pets meds when needed. He walks my 2 dogs and my sisters and they love him. Was referred by a friend and would highly recommend. Happy to be a reference!

Brian was a good friend of the family, walking Nacho everyday while we were at work and staying over whenever we were out of town. He introduced Nacho to a number of new friends, which helped him enjoy what would otherwise be boring afternoons. Brian is great — he comes highly recommended!

Brian is a life saver.
Moving from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a big backyard and a fair amount of free time to a small apartment in Manhattan, NY and a full time job, I was VERY worried about my goldendoodle Hutch and how he would adjust. Immediately after meeting Brian and watching him interact with my dog, I knew things would be okay.
Hutch absolutely loves Brian and lives for his daily walks with him. Brian is beyond responsible: usually taking Hutch for walks beyond the 30 min scheduled time, always texting me afterwards with how it went, etc. He is also super flexible: on days I needed him to pick Hutch up from the groomer or days I needed to cancel or add an additional walk, he always made it happen and never made me feel like the inconvenience I was!
I would recommend Brian to anyone and everyone with zero hesitation.

Ryan is a wonderful dog walker. He definitely has a gift with animals. He has been walking my dog, Petula Clark for about 4 months now. The day he met her, she immediately curled up in his lap. Petula even knows when he’s coming now! She goes to the window and starts whimpering with excitement. She can smell him coming down the street. They have a great relationship. If my dog is happy, I am happy. Ryan is attentive, and very detail oriented when it comes to learning about each dog’s quirks and issues. He is caring and takes his time to get to know each animal that is under his care. He returns texts and emails in a timely manner and always with a cheerful demeanor. My schedule is all over the place, and Ryan has always been able to offer times that work for me, and is amenable to changes. Not only that but he leaves notes after each visit that are informative AND cute! I look forward to Ryan and Petula developing a long and even more loving relationship!
I would recommend Ryan and Happy Tails without reservation!
(FYI: the only reason I have given 4 stars and not 5 is because our relationship is still somewhat new, and I want to give us something to grow into, but I have zero complaints with Ryan.)

Brian is the best!!! Lucky and Riley have a ton of energy and look forward to their daily walks. After an hour with Brian they are happy and tired out. Happy Tails is always flexible with their schedule and have accommodated all walk times and last minute requests.

My nine month old min pin Faun absolutely adores Ryan! As a young pup, she’s got a ton of energy and a lot to learn, and Ryan has been a huge help with training her and getting her on a walking schedule. I appreciate the daily notes and progress reports he leaves after each visit. He’s dependable, trustworthy and treats my girl with respect and his undivided attention. Highly recommended!

Brian is amazing. I moved to the city from Boston and was worried my boy Rocco would have trouble adjusting to city life. But Brian was wonderful w him and I’d come home from working to find a very relaxed and happy dog. My roommate was home a couple times and said Rocco would always be very very excited to see him!
They are very responsive, excellent at communicating, confirming days and times of walks. Also really enjoyed getting a text every day after he was walked to know he’d eaten and done his business.
Can honestly highly recommend them!
Sad to have moved to LIC where they don’t cover.

First and foremost, Brian and Ryan are both pet lovers! Their immense admiration for our furry companion is reflected in their attention to detail, timeliness and warm updates during a scheduled walk or overnight slumber party with my American Bulldog.
They both have helped me out in more than my fair share of those emergency last minute late nights at the office/​gotta stay for a deadline scenarios. My pup and rugs are immensely grateful! Would trust them with my own child if I had one, so in lieu of, I whole heartedly trust them with my 75lbs of pup!

Ryan and Brian are AWESOME!!! They both visit my little Dino every week and he absolutely loves them! I can tell he’s happier on the days Ryan and Brian visit. They take such good care of my boy and they leave the cutest notes to let me know exactly how the visit went. :)
I’d recommend Happy Tails to any pet owner! I adore these guys!!!

Brian is the best!!! If you love you’re pet as part of the family look no farther he is always on time always there to save me if I have to work late.
Wouldn’t be able to have her without him.
We trust him and love him!!!
