A Better NYC Dog Walking Service
At NYC Doggies we all work as dog walkers because we love dogs, period. Our approach to dog walking is simple – exercise and socialization are integral components to a healthy, balanced, happy life, and it is our job to give your pup her daily dose, making it the best experience possible.
Our team members are carefully selected for their experience and reliability, and they are rigorously trained by Ovidiu. Our dogs have one primary NYC Doggies dog walker, but also get to know the rest of the team so that when a pup’s primary dog walker is sick or on vacation, a familiar face will be there to take him for a walk. Our NYC dog walkers are dedicated, highly qualified dog care providers, trained to handle any situation and always ensure a safe experience for your dog.
What sets us apart from other dog walkers in New York City?
Consistent Dog Walker
All of our pups form special bonds with their dog walkers, and we encourage this important relationship by keeping a regular schedule and providing a primary dog walker.
Tight-Knit Team
We are a deliberately small team of dog walkers, allowing us to get to know each and every dog and to stay in constant communication with each other and our clients. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Active Dog Walkers
Our dog walkers are active and fit, always ready to play ball in the dog park or run with pups along the Hudson River. Young or old, we personalize walks to meet the exercise needs of every dog.
Training Practice
Our dog walkers are professionally trained to practice the obedience commands your dog has learned in her training lessons with Ovidiu. Practice makes perfect!
Boarding & Sitting
Our dog walking clients have exclusive access to our boarding and dog sitting services. We provide boarding in one of our loving homes so that going on vacation will never be stressful for you or your pup.
Puppy Program
The first few months are the most important time for socializing your new puppy, and we have special walking services for pups of all ages, including those who haven’t yet completed their vaccinations.
Instant Notifications
You will receive instant emails or texts when your dog is picked up and dropped off for her walks! Our dog walkers use their phones to scan a custom-designed NFC tag attached to your dog’s collar.
Photos & Videos
You can’t be there in person, but we want you to share in the fun by viewing photos of your furry one enjoying his walk. We share via an active Facebook page and personalized client pages on our website.
Online Management
Managing your dog’s care has never been easier! Dog walking clients use our online tools to view invoices, make payments, schedule appointments and stay informed.

We recommend small group walks to all of our clients because it satisfies a basic canine necessity: to belong to a group of dogs and socialize with them. We reserve individual walks for our dogs that are old or when special needs arise, like when a dog isn’t well.
Every NYC Doggies dog walker is a highly trained dog professional, able to handle tough situations, always making sure that our dogs are safe.
However, we do have a few dog walking clients who prefer walks on the street, and we always respect their wishes.
