Great service here! I called you a couple months ago because one of my pet parents (I am a breeder)…read morecalled me just panicking because she was on vacation and her neighbor friends that were watching her puppy Frankie, a ten month old miniature dachshund and unfortunately they were unable to sleep because he was whining and up all night crying and they could not sleep and that now she needed to find a place for him to stay immediately. Although they were, at the time reserved and very busy, they took the time to speak with me on the phone and go over everything with what they did with the pups and how they took care of them each individually and very conscientiously and with great care and I was very impressed with their service and the level of care they provided for the pet parents' fur babies. They reassured me that they would do everything possible to make sure he was extremely well taken care of and that his separation anxiety was also addressed while his mom was away on business so that way when she came home he would be a better puppy and most likely to react as strongly when she went away the next time. I like that they have specific program just for separation anxiety to calm the pets as well, you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work and really care about the animals and that the customers are happy with the great level of care they provide for their babies. I would recommend this place because I would even choose this place myself for my pets, if I were ever visiting there in Jersey City that is, and that really says a lot.

Terrible. First off these 5 star reviews must be FAKE the pet sitter that was supposed to be…read moresitting was changed last minute, without giving us notice. Also 4 out of the 6 schedule visits the sitters showed up more than two hours late. On top of that the tracking app and check-in and check-out scans were very conveniently "not working " luckily we have a home security system that records the times they were there. In one occasion we also noticed they didn't bother to clean the litter box so we had to contact their boss and make them go back to clean it. How ridiculous I am doing that so called bosses job. Not to mention the sitter looked in boxes that looked like jewelry boxes luckily we had hid those away beforehand. So if you are ok with all this go for it. Otherwise you are better off getting someone off the street to pet sit for you. No it is not a mistake. I literately spoke to Pedro over the phone and he made up excuses and he still charged me. I'm adding the payment I made. I can't believe they have no shame. Specially after being so negligent, wow, everyone stay away this is the type of people you let in your home.

Abe was around 8 when I rescued him the past 3 years Abe became blind due to diabetes, had Cushings disease and pancreatitis - the care they gave Abe through all of his challenges was over the top. If you have a blind dog or failing senior Extra Mile should be your first call. I traveled for 2 weeks last year and even though Jacob and I spoke every day I knew Abe was safe, loved and cared for . My neighbors always commented to me how they saw Jacob walking Abe and said he was always so kind to him, was focused on Abe and not distracted by his phone !

Kevin is the best. We actually switched from a different service based on recommendations from…read moreanother pittbull owner. Kevin is responsive, knowledgeable, and great with our dog. He provides helpful tips in training her, and goes above and beyond. When Willow contracted an intestinal virus from the park, Kevin answered my frantic call to ask if we needed to take her for an emergency hospital visit. He truly cares about his dog and human clients, and I would highly recommend him. Willow loves him too!

Executive summary: David and his colleague Jason have been walking my dog Little Face for a little…read moreover one year, and I have been very happy with their services. I moved to New York City from Philadelphia in April 2011. After having a great relationship with my personable, caring dog walker in West Philly (Sharon of P.U.P.S.), I was dismayed to see the manner in which many dog walkers ply their trade in Manhattan. Large groups of dogs walking together, tugging along a walker who looks positively annoyed to be on the other end of the leash. I was lucky enough to work a 10 minute walk from my office in Morningside Heights. So, instead of confronting the task of finding a dog walker who actually cared about dogs and took the job seriously, I just made do without having one. Fast forward: in November 2011, I secured a new job downtown. With my longer commute, I knew that I would need a dog walker to maintain Little Face's quality of life. I knew of David from an internet messageboard, where he frequently posted very cute pictures of dogs under his temporary care. I contacted him there, we exchanged some texts (he is always very responsive by text, phone, and email), and we met in my home. I was very comfortable handing over the keys to my apartment that day. Since then, he and Jason have been visiting my place 5 afternoons every week to walk Little Face. I was very excited to see the photos and short video clips of Little Face's afternoon adventures begin appearing on PBP's Facebook page and Tumblr. David and Jason's approach to dog walking (and by extrapolation, the nature of the entire PBP collective) is so different than the disinterested nature of the employees of many dog walking companies. Finally, I am especially happy that David is almost always available to dogsit Little Face with just a couple weeks notice. In fact, as I type this review, I am visiting family in Virginia for a long weekend. I am enjoying my time out of the city knowing that she is under his care.

David and Sayaka walk my dog Apple everyday. I always get a text letting me know what happened (1…read moreor 2). If my dog is sick or under the weather Sayaka is very attentive to her health and gives me texts with any concerns or details she notices. If you are on the fence about hiring a walker I say do it... I get such piece of mind knowing I have caring people walking my dog so I don't have to rush home after work or feel like she's alone all day.

AMAZING! It's always hard to tell with dog walkers which ones are good and which ones are crap…read more 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.

Jim is the best! We had a bad experience with our last dog walker, so a friend of mine told me to…read morecheck 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.

I cannot say enough superlatives about Dave & Maria. I adopted a 16 month old schnauzer - poodle…read morethat had absolutely no training, had not been housebroken and was completely out of control.

If they take care of your dog, you have nothing to worry about. The concept of a 30-minute relief walk is not exactly what they do. Whenever possible, they do a lot more than that. My girl is usually out with them for a lot longer, she gets a lot of energy out and plays with the other dogs. I get detailed updates every day. - they do what's right for your dog, not what's easy. My dog has severe anxiety (doesn't not like to go outside, used to do none of her business outside, would try and hide under cars, in other people's houses etc). They have almost fully transformed her since we met. That is huge both the dog and me. - they charge you a monthly rate, which at first might seem weird to you but it's so easy.

I first met Michael about 10 years ago when we were both walking along Columbus Avenue. I noticed…read morehim because he was walking a dog and stopped to play with it, bending down, petting the dog, and laughing. I am a huge animal lover, and so was so happy to see someone loving their pet. I walked across the street to thank him for bringing joy that day, saying how much he must love his dog. He replied, "Oh, this isn't mine; I'm his walker." I was amazed. I then asked him if his company took care of cats. He said, "yes" and handed me his card. I have two brothers (Asian shorthairs) who Michael and the lovely, gracious Marixa have taken care of for the last ten years. I cannot tell you the peace of mind and security they provide when they sit for my cats. With each visit, they clean the litterbox and feed the guys, play with them, and then provide a detailed email report of how the visit went. Their service is not expensive, but at the same time, priceless.
