Dog Walk NYC

Dog Walk NYC is the only company I trust to take care of my dog, Feta. Katie, the owner, and her team are super responsible and friendly. In addition to daily walks, I also use Dog Walk NYC to board my pup when I have to travel. It is such a relief to know Feta is in good hands and SO much better than boarding her at a kennel. Also, it’s great to know who will be walking my dog each day — way better than those other services with constant staff turnover.
Highly recommended!

Katie and Rachel are amazing! My puppy brings an onslaught of trouble and headaches and Rachel has helped me with each one of them. They make my days easier and I feel like me and my pup are always in good hands.

Dog Walk NYC has been walking our havanese for the past year and they have been great with our dog. Katie, Rachel and the entire team are really good people who are professional, friendly and flexible. Their rates are reasonable and more often than not our dog ended up getting a longer walk than 30 mins. I highly recommend anyone in Midtown east looking for a dog walking service to contact Katie.

I’ve been using Dog Walk NYC for a few months now and honestly can say that she’s one of, if the THE best most caring dog lover and business owner.
I can write 700 reasons why she’s amazing, but meet her, use them for a week and you’ll see why. Through the few correspondences I’ve had with her, she’s just the biggest dog lover – she puts me to shame! And she knows how to thoughtfully and meticulously run a business.
***FYI, Rachel, our designated dog walker is fabulous. She gave special attention to one of my pups that had recently completed his second ACL surgery. She was so wonderful with the post-​op care.

I’m one of those Unilocalers who tends to write reviews only if I’ve had an amazingly positive experience or horrible experience. Dog Walk NYC definitely falls into the former category. Katie and her team are that absolute best of the best in NYC.
I’ve always found the dog walker selection process to be somewhat stressful. Not only do you entrust some stranger with keys to your home, but also your puppy (my puppy is my everything and I love him like a child). From the moment I met Katie almost 3 years ago, I knew I could trust her and that my dog was in good hands.
I also used Katie and her team for overnight boarding. They would send me the most adorable pics of my dog while I was away. He was treated like a king — snuggles on their couches, playtime with their families, treats from holiday feasts. He even joined Thanksgiving football games.
Overall, Dog Walk NYC is a HIGHLY RECOMMEND for me. I already referred a coworker and he loves them too. They’re the best.

So I’ve owed Katie this review for quite some time and I apologize for the lateness.
Katie watched our (then 9 month old) puppy, Charlie, over Christmas time. We had just moved to NYC and it was the first time we were going to leave our dog in someone’s care and it was going to be for two weeks. I can’t even begin to thank Katie for taking such good care of Charlie. We didn’t even have to feel guilty about leaving him because she was so good to him and we knew that she not only took excellent care for him, she cared about him as well.
If I wasn’t already nervous enough about leaving Charlie for such a long time, he developed a complication from his neuter that happened over a month before leaving him and had to be on medications during part of his stay. Katie was so helpful about it, she checked in to make sure he was doing well before we dropped him off and was happy to help by administering medication, or taking him back to the vet if need be. This really put my mind at ease. It can be hard to trust others with the care of your dog, because let’s face it, they are like children, but I had no worries with Katie. She is very competent, responsible, and loving towards all the dogs she cares for.

I was just sitting here texting Katie an update about my dog and realized that she and her amazing team (Rachel/​Christian) have been walking my yellow lab Charlee for nearly a year now and I’ve never jumped over here to write a review.
Fabulous is a word that comes to mind with Dog Walk NYC. The prices are unbeatable and the care that they take is unmatched. Katie even has the option to dog sit and allows your dog to stay in her home while you’re away (or have someone stay at yours). I love doing this because 1. She can easily pick up and drop off your pup so you aren’t carting their stuff to her place and back and 2. I trust her immensely with Charlee. So that debilitating fear of letting someone from
watch my best bud and then finding her in a ad on CraigsList (or other horror stories of dog stealing) is completely eliminated, haha (kidding, kinda). It’s a win win win. Charlee gets take care of, by someone I trust (and she loves), and she gets to go out on all the walks those days. I mean come on!
I love the text updates after every walk and the surprise picture now and then. I would trust Katie and the team with Charlee any day and I am so very thankful that I found them!

I can’t say enough great things about Katie and her team! I moved into a studio apartment in midtown east, coming from suburbia (Connecticut). I was nervous about the transition for my pup and came to Unilocal to look for a well-​rated dog walking service. This is how I found DogWalkNYC, and I’m so happy I did! Katie, Christian and Rachel give great individualized attention to the dogs, and I always came home to a happy dog. Plus, it was so fun to get picture updates of how my pup was doing while I was at work. It’s a small thing, but the fact that Katie’s team makes a consistent effort to keep you well-​informed about your dog really makes a difference in the quality of the service. Worth every penny!

Recently my wife and I had to be out of the country on business for three weeks and needed someone to watch Bean, our spoiled three year old beagle mix. We were worried about leaving him for so long and absolutely did not want to put him in a kennel.
About a month before, Dog Walk NYC watched him for a weekend and did a fantastic job, so we decided to let Katie and Phoebe (her Chihuahua) keep him again. It was a great choice. Katie emailed us about once a day with updates on how the little guy was doing and even included pictures of his adventures with Phoebe while we were away.
When I returned, Bean was happy to see me but seemed sad after Katie left. Twice the first night back, I found him wondered through the house. I suppose he was looking for Phoebe…
I would highly recommend Dog Walk NYC to anyone looking for a reasonable, reliable and caring dog walker or sitter!

Katie is great. My dog stayed with her for a week while I was on vacation. I was very nervous to leave my dog with a stranger especially b/​c my dog is 16 and not doing great. Katie made me feel so comfortable. I went there to meet her and see her apartment. When I dropped my dog off Katie made me feel very comfortable. She let me set my dog up and bring all her stuff so she would feel at home. Katie made me feel at ease leaving my dog. Katie texted me everyday to give me an update on how she was doing which made me feel much better. I am leaving my dog with Katie again while on vacation. This is so much better than having to board your dog. your dog will get the attention they need.

Katie was a saving grace for us when we inherited a super cute havanese from a family member who was too allergic to keep him — we needed a dog walker to come at 7:15am the next morning to walk our little guy. Katie was the only dog walker we could find in our area that walked dogs before 9am! It was a Sunday when I contacted her and she called me back promptly. For the first morning Katie had my boyfriend and I meet her in the lobby of our building so she could meet us and our pup. That was the beginning of our great relationship — I can honestly say that I trust her implicitly. She is an animal lover who uses biodegradable pick up bags and organic treats. She also sends her Pupdates after every walk to let me know how our little guy did on his walk. But most of all our dog loves her. She also uses paypal to bill us so that we don’t have to remember to leave her checks and/​or cash on a weekly basis which is super convenient for us. I highly recommend her.

Although I do not reside in NYC, I was in desperate need of boarding services this past weekend due to power outages in nj. I went into the city to stay with a friend, who is allergic to dogs, and i needed to find a reliable and clean pet sitter last minute.
I was referred katie’s services, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Katie was able to board Oscar last minute for three nights. Her apartment was spotless and large enough for my 8 pound yorkie to get plenty of exercise in. Although I brought my own food and toys, Katie was prepared with organic, non processed dog food as well as all natural dog toys. She walked him 3 times a day and kept me abreast with his quick adjustment.
Even though our power came back on, Oscar did not want to leave!

I rarely write reviews, but I have been so impressed with Dog Walk NYC that I wanted to make sure other dog owners are aware of this excellent service.
I recently got a new puppy and have been going through all the stress and anxiety that is inevitable with housebreaking a new puppy while working a full time job. I contacted Dog Walk NYC to help with walking the puppy during the day and the owner has far surpassed my expectations and has done wonders for my mental health.
The owner is extremely professional and takes the time to meet with you and your dog before she begins the service. She is extremely flexible in terms of scheduling and makes gestures that demonstrate she actually cares about your dog. I wanted someone who cares as much about my puppy as I do, and I am convinced that she does.
I would highly recommend Dog Walk NYC to anyone in Midtown!

After much debate and consideration I finally got a dog, Ralphie. I work downtown but live in midtown and my lunch hour does not exist.
Potty training Ralphie was very hard and messy, Dog Walk NYC has been a life saver (and carpet saver)! My walker Katie, who also runs the business met me and Ralphie to discuss what exactly he would need. I opted for the private power hour 4 times a week (I get out early on Fridays). This ensures my pooch gets an hour long walk by himself. Ralphie gets along with other dogs and is very social but I spoil him and he needs all the attention!
Katie is very friendly and I can tell she knows a lot about caring for a dog and genuinely cares about Ralphie. I thought her prices were very reasonable and she is pretty flexible with scheduling.
I am extremely happy with her services and Ralphie would say the same! Definitely recommend Dog Walk NYC!
