NYC Pooch

I am so grateful to NYC Pooch. My newly adopted two year old shelter pup had a nasty habit of biting his dog walkers. Despite the guidance of two dog trainers, my pup continued to be a bad dog to just his dog walkers. My cousin referred me to NYC Pooch and right away the company sent out a trainer, Kristin. Kristin came out for one session and was ready to step in if there was any problems with my new dog walker. Alex was informed of my pup’s insecurities and he walked into my apartment confidant and fun! And from day #1 I never had a problem. No biting. No growling. No stress!!! It has been three months. Thank you Alex, you saved my puppy from a trip back to the shelter.

These guys are SO GOOD! Daily updates via email, treats, great personalities — my Golden is super happy with these guys. We had Colin in our old apartment downtown. He was the nicest person and Bailey loved him! Now we have John in our new neighborhood and he is excellent too! I was recommended NYC POOCH and I would heartily recommend them to others. Brittany and the team are so so helpful and will always do their best to accommodate even at short notice. Keep it up guys!

Brittany and the entire NYC Pooch team are AMAZING. I am not one to take time writing reviews, but feel it most warranted given the help, consideration and attentiveness that has been shown to us and our puppy! Emails are answered almost instantly and everyone has been so accommodating to our changing schedules and many last minute changes.
Our walker, John, is extremely kind and wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. She has been a bit sick this week and John made sure to clean our apartment when he walked into a mess – totally above and beyond his call of duty! NYC Pooch also called to let us know she was sick right after John arrived and let them know. During our afternoon walk today, NYC Pooch has been kind enough to make arrangements for John to pick up our puppy’s meds at the vet so she can get them earlier in the afternoon instead of waiting until we are home.
I cannot say enough positive things! We are informed promptly if our walker needs to be changed for the day due to illness/​scheduling and the pup reports are an awesome way to stay in the know while we are at work. Highly, highly recommend this wonderful company. You will not be disappointed!

We recently moved to New York and have never used a dog walking service before. We are only on day two, but I wanted to write and let everyone know that the dog reports you get each day after the walk are amazing. I am not left wondering if and when my dog was walked, and where he went. I get a nice report, with photos, which even includes what potty-​related-​activities took place. NYC Pooch has made our transition (both human and dog) to New York City easier.

I have been using NYC Pooch since i got my dog 3 years ago and they are the BEST! Not only do I LOVE the daily pup reports and the walkers, but the office staff is beyond helpful!!! I tend to change around my dogs scheduling a lot and they could not be more accommodating (including last minute evening walks when I have to work late) I am not one to write reviews but I could not recommend NYC Pooch more!!! On the rare occasion i am home and still have a walk scheduled i love to see how excited my dog gets when the walker comes in! When my regular walker left the company i was nervous the replacement would not be as good but he is just as amazing– they obviously hire great people! I don’t think i have ever had such a consistently good experience dealing with a company before! Great job NYC pooch keep it up :-)

I don’t know where to start. I LOVE NYC Pooch. LOVE. Who else sends you an email with a walk recap and a cute picture of your pup every day? (maybe other services do, but whatever… I feel confident saying that NYC Pooch Pup reports are, more than likely, better than the competition’s).
NYC Pooch is an extremely organized, professional, and caring group of people. Quick and timely communications? Check. Great pricing for extraordinary service? Check. Walkers who truly care and love dogs? Check. I know that my pup is getting a quality walk with someone who cares about them while I am at work each day. And honestly, that is what matters to me. I have friends who are thinking about getting a puppy, and I always tell them, «Oh! I’ve got the perfect dog walker. Don’t even worry about looking for one. NYC Pooch is the way to go, don’t waste your time with anyone else.»
I also think it’s important to note that NYC Pooch seems to have a great training program for their new walkers. When I first started using NYC Pooch, I had a different walker (who I loved, also). He ended up getting a new job in a totally different field, but spent a decent amount of time training my current walker on my dog’s behavior, habits, etc. before fully transitioning her into the duty of watching over my furbaby. And she is doing a great job (Claire, you ROCK)!
I had a terrible experience with my previous dog walking company, which I will not name. Suffice it to say that I worried about my pup every single day, until one day… well, the straw that broke the camel’s back (actually, it was many «straws,» but this is a review for NYC Pooch… so back to them, and how great they are!). I switched to NYC Pooch, and I have never EVER looked back. If you want your pup to be happy (and you want some peace of mind during the workday!), just call NYC Pooch. Seriously, make life easier on yourself. You won’t regret it, I guarantee it.

I dont have a dog. BUT I live in a coop that has 231 units and we are dog friendly.
In the lobby was one of our dogs with a NYC Pooch certified dog trainer, Kristen Studioso. I could not… believe… my eyes how she handled this dog. It was like watching «sign language «for a dog. She was totally tuned into him, messaging him constantly with her hands, and he responded immediately. The back and forth communication was something I have never seen before. And the dog was so happy being with her.
I spoke with her a little about her work. Not only is she a great dog person, she has great people skills and calmed ME down after a stressful day of job searching. She would work well with clients frustrated about their dogs who are at their wits end.
Undoubted she could turn around any difficult situation people may be having with their dogs and bring harmony back into the home:)

Phenomenal service and care for our pets!
My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the service we receive and the loving care our pets receive. Whether walking our dog, feeding our cat, or pet sitting for a long weekend we have always been blown away by the consistently amazing service that NYC Pooch provides. They have always been responsive to shifting walk schedules, training requirements we have asked for the walker to support, and any other one-​off questions/​requests we have raised. Best of all is receiving a ‘pup report’ whenever they visit our pets. It is always so comforting knowing what — and how — they are doing in the middle of the day.
After 2.5 years of using NYC Pooch, we can’t think of a better company to trust with walking and caring for our pets while we are at work or out of town.

I can’t recommend NYC Pooch highly enough. My wife and I have a 6 year old St. Bernard who can be a bit of a handful. Dan, Shane and their team provided caring, supportive service for our little horse. He was always thrilled to see them. They provide useful, timely reports after each walk, giving us a nice little update about our guy during the day and would always let us know if there was something wrong with him. We’re moving from the city and we will miss NYC Pooch very much!

NYC Pooch still rocks!
The team at NYC Pooch has been walking my dog for 3 years now and I don’t have a single complaint.
They are super reliable, always responsive and manage to keep up with my crazy schedule and provide extra walks when necessary.
Their walkers take great care of my dog and truly are huge dog people.
I think my pup is having a bit of a love affair with his super affectionate regular walker :)

After evaluating Williamsburg area dog walkers, we chose NYC Pooch for daytime dog walking. They are organized, responsive, on-​time and flexible. And most importantly, they love dogs as much as we do!
The best part, is their emailed «Pup Report» sent after the daily walk. Sometimes there are pictures, sometimes they are funny, but they are always reassuring and shows that NYC Pooch is taking the best care of my pup.
Price is great for the level of service we receive.

These guys are seriously the best. Dan (the owner) and Ben (the regular walker) came by before we decided to have them take care of our puppy and you could tell both of them were genuinely good guys.
They are flexible, honest, kind and seriously take the best care of our dog who can occasionally be difficult. Couldn’t ask for a better service and on top of that they are super affordable too. Pup reports; hysterical and informative.

If you ever need a dogwalking service in BK or South Manhattan, these guys are awesome. They take exceptional care of your pup, I just had the walking service for a quick walk, and they were great! I was pretty amused by my «pup report»
