Murphy’s Paw NYC

Jim and Kostas are the best! They’re both extremely reliable, trustworthy, dependable, professional, personable and are amazing with our pup! We always get a text after a walk which puts us at ease during a hectic work day. Jim is very flexible and has always accommodated us for those weekend walks when needed and was there to help us out on our wedding day! We are thrilled with Murphy’s Paw NYC and can’t say enough good things about both Jim and Kostas– they truly are a rare find and anyone who meets them will understand immediately why.

Jim is great! I’m lucky in that he’s the first dog walker (and the last!) that I’ve had walk my dog. He does an amazing job and is very professional. I trust him with my lil pup anytime. Jim loves what he does and loves our dog too.

Me and my GF got a puppy in December and were trying to figure out who best to walk him, not easy… One of the people in my building recommended Jim and I couldnt be happier. Since my puppy was so small we decided against bringing him outside for the first 5 months and Jim couldnt have been more flexible. He came and played with our pup 2x a day for 15 mins at a time, a huge help for 2 people that work ~8−10 hrs a day. A++++

Jim and his team have looked after our two dogs for nearly a year. He is terrific with them both, and they absolutely adore him. It is clear he is a person who genuinely loves dogs and thinks seriously about their well-​being
In addition to being incredibly professional and flexible with our dog-​walking schedules, he has taken our dogs into his home when we have had to leave for weekends. The only drawback to his services is that sometimes it seems like our dogs don’t want to leave when they have been at his place.

Jim is the best! We had a bad experience with our last dog walker, so a friend of mine told me to check out Murphy’s Paw. We reached out, Jim came by our place to meet us and the dog, and I pretty much knew after that conversation that he was our guy.
He is amazing with our dog, and she absolutely loves him… Which is saying something as she is not super social and usually a bit shy. He’s reliable, helps us out with taking her to the groomer, the vet, or stoping by to feed her if we can’t make it home on schedule, and over the last 1.5years I don’t have a single complaint.
Best part, he also boards her if we are out of town, which is sooooo much better than taking her to some crap hole kennel. Makes it that much easier to relax on vacation knowing she’s in good hands. He even txt’s us the occasional picture of her getting into trouble just so we know she’s doing well.
Bottom line, if you need a dog walker, Murph’s Paw is the be all and end all, so save yourself the trouble and go with Jim. He’s very professional and we wouldn’t trust anyone else.

AMAZING! It’s always hard to tell with dog walkers which ones are good and which ones are crap. Giving someone the keys to your home can be a daunting thing. Trusting someone to do what they say they will when you are not around is also hard.
After some *very* disappointing results with other dog walking services, we were recommended Murphy’s Paw by a friend and we could not be happier. Jim is a fantastic dog walker and you can tell is truly and animal lover. I trust 100% that he will take care of my dog and give her the love and attention that she needs when she is with him. Jim is professional and friendly, he takes her out for the time we agree to (past dog walking services have taken my dog out for only 8 – 10 minutes in spite of me paying for a 20 – 30 minute walk), he keeps me apprised of her activities by leaving notes, and he is always more than happy to accommodate our schedule if he can. I would not hesitate to recommend Murphy’s Paw to anyone who is looking for a dog walker in Chelsea.
