I just met Addison the Dog Walker at Joe Coffee. I thought the dog was his simply because of the way he interacted with the dog and the dog with him. I chatted with him for a few minutes and he generously shared his thoughts and tips about the competitive business of dog walking when I asked him for that advice. It was a great conversation and I felt strangely compelled in that moment to write this review and snap a pic to capture the moment. Thanks for the chat, Addison. I believe any Chelsea or Hell's Kitchen dog would be lucky to have you as their walker! read more

Addison has been walking my beloved girl, Molly, for the past few months, and we couldn't be happier with him. I had had a dog walker who was super unreliable (cancelled on me last minute, lost my keys twice), whose boss nickel and dimed me for everything, without taking any responsibility for any of their wrongdoings. Addison is extremely reliable and communicative. He walks Molly in her group five days a week while I'm at work. I was hesitant about her walking in a group before, but he never walks too many dogs at once, and brings his helper if needed. He sends me plenty of photos, and it's clear that she's having a blast! He really learns their personalities and tells me how she's progressing on her walks and in the group. You can tell that he cares for each individual dog so much! What a relief when I'm away at work every day. read more

This is the guy to go to for your furry friends! It was my first time away from my 9month old ragdoll kitty and i was super anxious but Addison was so helpful. He came every visit when he was supposed to and sent me pictures the whole trip i was gone. He made sure to play with my cat, give him food, and calm his nerves. If you ever need a pet / cat sitter he is the person to go to. He even combed our cat so he wasn't matted at all and got rid of his eye crusties!! 10/10 would recommend him. read more

My gf and I have two dogs, a 15 year old chihuahua and a 4 year old blind chihuahua. Addison is the best with them, walks them, plays with them, understands them. He is extremely caring and is always available. We both work full times jobs and Addison is always our go to guy for anything dog-related. Highly recommend. read more

Addison is the best dog walker/ caretaker in NYC. Not only is his pricing great, he is super attentive, flexible and treats the dogs with love and care. He makes sure to check in and send pics/ videos. He prioritizes safety and fun for the dogs. He makes my puppy so happy which makes me happy! Thank you Addison. read more

An awesome walker. Years of service and I highly recommend them. The owner cares and the dogs love him.

Addison walks my dog Winnie, as he came HIGHLY recommended by other dog owners on my block (even some of the pickiest dog parents I know could not stop raving about him!) , and also my doormen (who have definitely seen their share of dog walkers, but always make a point to say such great things about him when anyone inquires)! Addison never disappoints! Has been so reliable and friendly since day 1..... I think what makes Addison really shine, is his ability to pair-up and group dogs together on a walk that bring out the best in each other. There's shy dogs that need a bit of encouragement from the pack, "sled dogs" who just want to run the entire time, dogs that love to be playful and stop every 30 seconds to smell the flowers (haha), or pack leaders who need to feel like they are leading the charge.... He really gets to know their personalities, and I trust him with Winnie completely (even though she is a bit complicated, as she is an 11-pound dachshund mix who truly believes she is a Doberman lol). But he managed to pair her with such a great little team, and she is ALWAYS so excited to see him- and one thing is for sure - a dog can NOT fake excitement!! read more

Addison the Dog Walker - Addison + an afternoon pack walk! - Dog Walkers Near Me

Stop your search for a dog walker right here. Addison is hands down the best you will ever find. He will love your dog like it is his own. Addison walked our dog Gunner for 2 years, starting when Gunner was just 12 weeks old. We're convinced Gunner is a well mannered dog because of Addison. Addison taught our dog how to loose leash walk. He built Gunner's confidence walking in NYC and helped potty train him to go outside. He made sure Gunner had exposure to all types of dogs (big, small, old, young, disabled) so Gunner gets along with all types of dogs. Addison took our dog to dog parks to ensure he was well socialized and always stepped in if things got too rowdy. Gunner isn't reactive to skateboards or bikes or scooters because of Addison. Addison even taught Gunner tricks such as sit, stay or paw. We received daily photos and text updates from every walk and Addison was so accommodating when we needed a flexible dog walking schedule. The only reason Addison isn't still walking our dog is because we moved out of the city. I and my dog miss Addison. We cannot recommend him enough. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Street Paws NYC. Addison has been extremely professional and easy to work with, he is responsive and flexible. Best of all, he shares his insights into your dog's behavior and seeks to give them enriching experiences. If I could leave a ten star review- I would. I have no hesitancy in recommending Addison to my neighbors and have done so several times. read more

Went on a vacation to Vegas recently, and this was going to be my first time away from my kitten. Addison came for an initial visit, just to see if our cat liked him even before booking his services, and my cat loved him! Addison is a natural when it comes to animals, whether it be cats or dogs. He always takes great care of animals under his care, and really doing the most to make sure each pet feels loved. He would always come to my apartment at the right times, and often times would play even more than the 30 minutes he was supposed to spend with my cat each visit (sometimes even an hour!) Street Paws NYC is an amazing business, all thanks to the effort the owner puts into his work. read more

Addison is the most heartful and caring dog walker and person. He takes his business very seriously and runs a very professional operation. Addison loves and cares for all of the dogs he walks and it's very apparent. Our dog Marco had some trust issues being a rescue from Puerto Rico but Addison really invested a lot into building a relationship with Marco to build his trust. Marco has become so confident and found of Addison. He really looks forward to his walks with him. Addison goes above and beyond and gets to know every dog and work with them on any areas of development. Addison is the best and I don't know what we would do without him. read more

Addison has been walking our French Bulldog (Tyrion) for 3 years. Previously (for 2+ years) we gave Addison access to our home to pick up T for a daily midday walk while we were at work. Since COVID-19 began, Addison has been taking additional precautions to ensure the safety of himself, the dogs and their owners. He now texts us upon arrival and we do a contactless handoff at our door. He is always wearing a mask and gloves. He also takes care not to allow interaction with others while walking. He is, and had always been, very reliable, friendly and trustworthy. Addison loves his job and his "pack" - Tyrion looks forward to every walk or play date! read more

Best dog walker in the city, without a doubt. For years, our dog Peanut has been very anxious and overly protective of my husband and me. So much so, that we were too nervous to let anyone else handle her in our absence, let alone socialize her with other dogs in our bldg. It broke our hearts because we wanted her to have dog friends and we also wanted her to feel less anxious. We met Addison through other dog owners in our building who all had wonderful things to say about his availability, accessibility, affordability, and ability to work with dogs of all sizes and demeanors. We decided to give it a try. Addison was attentive to Peanut's needs, watched her cues, and established a great relationship with her right from the very first meeting. Even during our interview process, Addison was able to gain Peanut's trust. By the second walk, Peanut was walking with Addison on her own and we've even started socializing her with other dogs in our building and neighborhood. We've been sold ever since. And that's all because of Street Paws NYC. If you live in NYC with a dog, Addison is your guy. We work with Addison 3-4 times a week now. read more

I absolutely love Addison! I had heard of him throughout my building before, but Dante (a 90 pound, then-11 year old black lab mix) and I were fine with the schedule we were keeping. That is - until he got sick! It was during the blizzard of 2015, and Dante was just a mess, and he had to go out every 3 hours for 4 days straight. Finally, I couldn't keep calling out of work, and called Addison out of desperation. I told him what was going on, and that he needed very regular & frequent walks (3 a day for 2 days). Dante had the lucky disposition of loving everybody - even strangers, even without me around, and even on his own turf - so I told Addison that he should go out with him without a hitch, and he did! I got regular updates from this man we had never met, who was in my apartment walking my beloved dog, and he saved the day (and my job!). I eventually wanted to incorporate more daily relief walks into his routine, and I used Addison for a year and a half. Dante absolutely adored him, and enjoyed their 15-20 minute walks together. To maintain his routine I still wanted them to go out even when I was home, so I was able to watch their bond, and it always brought a smile to my face. Every day I got a text about what Dante did, frequently with picture, and always with a happy note. He even stayed with Dante when I had to go out of the country and wanted someone I and Dante knew to stay at my place, and I was updated just as frequently as if I were only at work. I should note that Dante was dog-aggressive, but apparently only with me (I think he was trying to protect me from other dogs). How he described Dante and his interactions with other dogs had me wondering if he was walking MY dog, I was convinced he was mistakenly walking another big black dog (Dante was the only one in our building, I knew he wasn't). I also saw Addison with several bulldogs & pitbulls at the same time, and they were so well behaved! My point is, Addison had a way with my XL dog-aggressive dog - and all others - with a fluidity and ease that one comes to rely on. The one and only reason why I had to stop is because I eventually lost my buddy (by then he was 13.5). But, I would absolutely not hesitate to use his services again in the future. Many thanks to you Addison. You have a special place in my heart, because I know that my Dante has a special in yours. read more

Was coming to write a review for Street Paws without even speaking to my wife (Fran D.), and see she already beat me to the punch writing the review right before mine. Although, I guess that exemplifies how great Addison is (in addition to the fact that I've never wrote a Yelp review before). We've lived in the city for a while and had multiple walkers before Addison for our dog Marco, none of which he's ever particularly liked or been excited to go out with. And that's not because he's a dog that needs to go out only with us or because he dislikes other people. It's because none before Addison have ever shown Marco such love and actual care Addison has. I'm 100% confident in Addison taking care Marco and can see how excited Marco is every time he comes in the door, and am very grateful that my wife randomly met him outside at exactly the time we were looking for a dog walker we could just consistently rely on and not have to worry about. You can tell that he really cares about the dogs he watches over--he provides short progress reports every day, and even shows real excitement about any progressions (like just Marco getting along with a new client's dog) or provides his own completely spontaneous (but appreciated) suggestions to help Marco with certain walking "flaws" (like eating random chicken bones). And something that many people won't get to see unless they actually have Addison as a walker--he's very respectful of his client's homes. He always knocks (even though he has a key) and never intrudes in the slightest in picking up your pups, even without knowing whether you're home or not (sometimes I may be home and on a work call, and no one would even know Addison came to grab Marco). I've already wrote much more than I anticipated, but it's mostly because I can't recommend Addison enough as a walker and anyone using Street Paws will not be disappointed in the slightest. read more

Addison walked my dog Josie for 3 years and I can't say enough good things about him. He is reliable, honest, trustworthy everything you want in a person you leave your dog with. Addison helped my dog Josie transition from the NJ suburbs to NYC. She was scared of noises, storm drains, people, and he really helped her feel comfortable in her surroundings. He is a dog lover and a very caring person. During Hurricane Sandy, when buses and subways were closed he walked from the Bronx to midtown to ensure his dogs were taken care of. He is the best and I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Addison is an incredible dog walker and we could not have found anyone better to help take care of our dog Tater. He truly takes the time to get to know every dog in his care and by doing so they build a trust in him as well. Under his care, Tater has developed into a great pack walker and even gets along better with our cats as well! Additionally, Addison is very responsive to all texts and takes into consideration any requests when it comes to taking care of the dogs. He gives updates from each walk and every time he walks Tater she is so utterly happy. I cannot stress enough how awesome Street Paws and Addison are. 100% recommend to everyone looking for a dog walker. read more

We have been working with Addison for 4 months now and our little puppy absolutely loves him! He is very professional, COVID responsible and genuinely cares about the dogs. Our little puppy is not the greatest walker (often trying to eat things off the ground and sniffing everything) and Addison is very patient and vigilant, making sure she doesn't eat anything dangerous. He is very responsive and gives us updates after walks and frequently sends us photos during. He even thought her new tricks! We highly recommend Street Paws and Addison to anyone looking for a new dog walker! read more

Addison is the absolute best!!! We feel so confident and safe leaving our beloved pup with him while we are out of town. Our dog loves him so much, we think he may be depressed when we actually come home from vacation! Addison continuously sends us updates about how our little guy is doing and is so great with all of the pets he takes care of. He actually takes long walks with the dogs and has come recommended by everyone in our bldg - including our doorman who sees him come and leave with the animals he watches. I totally recommend Addison - he is affordable, trustworthy and above all else, super pleasant to work with. read more

Addison has been walking my 40 lb lab mix rescue named Loosy for almost 4 years. I highly recommend him as someone you can totally trust with your dog and your dog will absolutely love. He spends so much time with her doggie play group both on walks and doing little play groups. He really takes the time to figure out the psychology of each dog to make sure he's making the dog feel as comfortable with the other dogs as possible. Loosy absolutely loves seeing him every day. read more

This man has been my go-to for years whenever I need a dog walking service. I would give 10 STARS if I could!!!

I'm so grateful for Addison! He's incredibly reliable, honest and my dog- who has a serious fear of strangers and can be aggressive LOVES him. He took the time to get to know her and allowed her to safely socialize. He's the best! read more

If I could get him 10 stars, I would! Addison is the absolute best. After moving out of our dog walker's territory, we were pressed to find someone who could not only walk our 3-year-old pug-mix but handle the needs of our senior pug. It has only been 2 months since Addison started caring for our dogs but it feels like forever! He did such a great job helping our 3-year-old adjust to the new neighborhood, and he is in tune with every dog's needs and quirks. When you meet with him and before the first walk, he will ask you a list of questions that will help him understand what each dogs' needs and will go into detail when you do a meet and greet. He is so cautious and does everything he can to ensure each dog is safe when in his care. He does not rush our senior pug when it's time to go out. Addison waits until he is ready to go outside. And Addison is willing to do whatever he can to help with his care and medication. Addison offers detailed recaps via text and will leave a note after every walk. Every time either of the dogs get sick, he is the first to mention that something if off--whether it's a change in their stool or acting different. read more

Addison is such a great dog walker! He is so great with my dog Lilo. When she was still a puppy and couldn't go out, Addison would take other dog friends to meet her and get her well socialized. Because of that Lilo now has a great temperament and is comfortable with dog of all sizes. Addison also helped transit Lilo from indoor to outdoor potty training. He really cares about each dog he walks. When Lilo just started walking outside and had some minor issues with her paws, Addison sent me researches and potential solutions. Lilo loves her daily walk with Addison and her pals! read more

Addison is the best dog walker! He is extremely reliable, very friendly, and my little pup absolutely adores him! She gets very excited for her long walks with Addison. He has a very flexible and accommodating schedule and I trust him with our dog and our home. My dog had the best adventures with Street Paws and I always get a detailed text after the walk so I know what she was up to. read more

Addison has been walking my dog for almost 2 years. He is great! Reliable, friendly, sends updates and genuinely loves the dogs. Would highly recommend. read more

My wife and I were recommended to Addison by others in our building in midtown. He's the greatest: very reliable, flexible, and fantastic with dogs. Have a feeling that our Sophie loves him more than us. He takes and sends photos while on walks and provides a text update daily. Best you'll find in the area. read more

I cannot say enough about how amazing Addison is!! We moved from FL to NYC a year ago, and going from grass to midtown Manhattan was quite hard for our dog Oliver. We started with a bigger dog walking company, but didn't feel like the walker we got really cared about our pup. During the difficult transition, we really wanted someone who could help Oliver adjust. Our doorman recommended Addison and we will be forever grateful for that!! From the moment he walked in, I could tell he truly loves dogs. He is so gentle and loving, and makes a genuine connection with dogs. After just a couple days, Oliver was jumping on Addison, so excited to see him every time he came over. Regarding his business, he is incredibly professional, always reliable, and seriously an amazing guy. I don't think you could find another walker in the city that cares as much about the animals he takes care of. read more

Addison is amazing! He was so good to our cats while we were away over the holidays. He sent pictures of the cats each visit and his updates made us so happy! We came home to happy cats and recommended him to everyone in our building! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and awesome animal sitter! read more

Addison is amazing. He loves dogs and treats them like his own. He has been caring for our bulldog, Dunkin, for 3 years. He is extremely flexible as far as timing and service. He has done everything from walk Dunkin, to staying at our apartment while we're on vacation, to hosting puppy playdates in our apartment. He is extremely thoughtful (sends text updates, cute pictures, and gives xmas card/gifts) and we couldn't be more appreciative of everything he has done for us and Dunkin over the years. I highly recommend Addison to anyone who wants only the best for their dog. read more

Addison is awesome!! He has taken care of our 2 cats many times and we completely trust him to take good care of them. They don't miss us at all when we are gone. We recommend him 100%. read more

Owner Addison is phenomenal. He lovingly cares for my dog, taking him on long walks, playing with him, and caring for him as though he was Addison's. Addison is very reliable, never needing a reminder or follow up. He does not walk dogs in "packs" like so many other dog walkers. Instead he limits dog walks to 1-2 dogs and takes no short cuts like stops at dog runs. Additionally, Addison runs an honest business, collecting and paying tax...no funny stuff with this great guy. You cannot go wrong with Addison! read more

Great dog walking service. Rates are reasonable and service is exceptionally reliable. My dogs love their walkers, and love their time spent with them. Walkers are extremely attentive to individual personalities and needs of the dogs. I have total confidence in Street Paws and recommend them highly. read more

Addison is the greatest! After adopting an older pit mix, I was hesitant to have her walked with other dogs but I knew she needed it for socialization and confidence-building. Not only am I extremely pleased with the pack Addison has created, but I trust him completely when they are all out together. I've noticed a positive change in my dog's behavior, leash skills and confidence and it's 100% because of Addison's care. His updated texts and pictures are wonderful and put me at ease during the day. He also must speak my dog's language because he can get her coat on - an impossible task for anyone!! Thank you, Addison, for all your hard work! read more
