Personalized Dog Walking Services

For New York City Dogs

We are a small, dedicated team of NYC dog walkers offering personalized dog services since 2002. We are committed to our clients and to providing the best possible care for their dogs.

We specialize in providing regular, small-group dog walks, with no more than three friendly dogs at a time, grouped based on their temperament, exercise needs, duration of service, and geographic location. With our dog walking service, you can set it and forget it, knowing your pup’s needs are being met. Or, you can be more involved by communicating with us at any time for questions, concerns, support, and advice.

Dog walkers from our team are actively serving Chelsea, Greenwich Village, Soho, Tribeca, East Village, Gramercy, and nearby areas.

We focus on

Exercise

Our dog walkers are active and fit, always ready to play ball in the dog park or power walk with pups along the Hudson River. Young or old, we personalize our walks to meet the exercise needs of every dog.

Socialization

Daily social interactions with other dogs are crucial for a dog’s overall well-being, which is why our dog walks are conducted in small, carefully selected groups of very friendly dogs. This ensures that our walks are enjoyable, engaging, and safe.

… and on

Affectionate Care

We are a deliberately small team of dog walkers, allowing us to get to know each and every dog and to personalize their walks so that they and their parents have the best experience possible.

We form close bonds with all our pups and their parents, and we encourage this important relationship by assigning a primary NYC dog walker to all our regular clients.

How do your walking plans work?Ovidiu Stoica2025-09-15T21:12:07-04:00

A walking plan/package offers the following benefits:

  • discounted rates for walks taking place on regular weekdays, during our work hours;
  • reserved time slot with 1hr pickup window;
  • primary dog walker for walks taking place during the reserved time slot;
  • discounted boarding rate (though, availability for boarding is not guaranteed).

Clients can sign up for a walking plan by committing to a minimum number of walks , and prepaying for them.

These prepaid walks must then take place before the plan’s expiration date or else they’ll be lost. If a prepaid walk is canceled, and at risk of being lost, we’ll make every effort to find another slot for it within the plan’s timeframe.

Will the same dog walker care for my dog every time?Ovidiu Stoica2025-09-12T08:02:19-04:00

We make it a priority to designate a primary walker for clients on a walk plan or who have a consistent schedule. However, we also require the flexibility to allocate different walkers when needed. Our team is fairly small, so typically, our dogs become familiar with only two or three members of our team.

Do you also provide individual walks?Ovidiu Stoica2023-09-05T23:08:20-04:00

We generally walk dogs in small groups of no more than three dogs at a time. Individual walks are reserved for our current clients and are offered in special circumstances, such as when a dog is unwell or has a contagious condition.

Do you take dogs to the dog park or walk them on the streets?Ovidiu Stoica2023-09-05T23:18:22-04:00

Whether we walk a dog on the streets or take them to a dog run is a client’s choice.

We’re big fans of the city’s dog parks and would recommend everyone take their dogs there at least a few times per week… if not every day. Dog runs provide a unique opportunity for dogs to play off-leash, and interact with various other dogs and humans, which has tremendous benefits to their mental and physical well-being.

Each member of our dog-walking team is an experienced dog professional, skilled in navigating tough situations and committed to our dogs’ safety. However, it’s worth noting that dog parks can have their own set of uncertainties. Clients should be aware and accepting of the associated risks.

Do your clients give you their keys?Ovidiu Stoica2023-09-05T23:14:42-04:00

The majority of our customers give us two sets of keys. One set stays with the primary walker, and the second (the backup) stays in our UPS mailbox.
For clients that live in doorman buildings, we prefer that the keys stay with their doorman.

Are you bonded and insured?Ovidiu Stoica2023-09-05T23:27:34-04:00

We are bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. Our insurance covers all NYC Doggies dog walkers and offers protection against any damage to your home, property or pets while in our care.
