Attaching screenshots of the conversation with the owner so you can see exactly how he communicates with his potential clients, and from other reviews, his current clients as well apparently. He accused me of working for Yelp and moving up his negative reviews...... I moved to Brooklyn in the beginning of October and brought my dog with me. I had a dog walker for the first few weeks but unfortunately she was getting booked up with other dogs in her neighborhood (I was a bit out of the way for her), so I had to search for another on short notice. I messaged a bunch of businesses in our area to compare prices and see if they service my area in general, QC was one of them. The first message was on 11/16 to inquire about pricing. I was already a bit skeptical after seeing some of the 1 star reviews (specifically the one where someone's dog was hit by a car and the owner responded really negatively), but I thought I'd reach out anyway because maybe this was just a one time occurrence. Boy was I wrong. Although this place was the cheapest, the response from the owner when I originally inquired about pricing completely threw me off and gave me a bad vibe. Along with the other 1 star reviews, I just didn't feel comfortable with the owner and how he would potentially deal with situations when they arise, so I went with another business. I'd rather have some peace of mind when someone is handling my dog rather than saving a mere $10 a week. Today is 11/20, and out of nowhere, I receive these messages from the business owner. I couldn't believe this was something he'd actually send to me.... I was accused of working with Yelp because some of his reviews were moved down???? Completely unprofessional, rude, and I'm so glad I trusted my gut to not move forward with QC. read more

12/21/23 Be warned: I pre-paid for walking. My regular walker called in sick. The owner stepped in, and that's where the problems begin. He came to home, late, and then refused to walk my dogs. I was at work. Because of his incompetence, my dogs could not relieve themselves for 9hrs! Consider yourself warned read more

Rhett and his team are great to work with. They make it very easy to schedule walks and never gave me a hard time when I canceled last second or got stuck at work and needed to add one on. They send you a photo of your pup with every walk and seem to really enjoy interacting with your pet. I have nothing but positive things to say about QC, and I always felt like my Fabio was being well taken care of and loved while I was away. read more

Rhett and his team have been great from the beginning! Like many people, I am absolutely obsessed with my dog and don't trust just anyone with him. I feel very lucky that I found Rhett and Justyn (our actual dog walker). Rhett is always super responsive even when I request a last minute walk. Justyn cares for my dog so much and I've witnessed it first hand! After every walk I get a photo of my dog and an update on how he did. I love it! Sometimes I work from home and Justyn will come in quietly and grab my dog. If I'm on a call, he's really good about being quiet and caring for my dog. I can not recommend these guys enough! read more

Rhett and his team of dog walkers are the best dog walkers we have ever had. Also great experience with sitting. We have a very difficult dog and they've been great with him. We are very grateful. Thank you Rhett. read more

I've hopped around a few different dog walkers since I moved to Brooklyn. My first experience was awful, my second great -- but I live in Crown Heights and not a lot of dog walkers deal with that area, so the second dog walker decided to cancel service there. That's when I went to QC Dog Walking with Rhett and crew. It's be a great experience and I'm really happy with them. It's really easy to schedule, reschedule, and even cancel plus the dog walkers are super, super reliable. Once I got locked out of my apartment when my roommate was gone and the landlord and sup were MIA for the weekend, I didn't have a backup key but I texted Rhett and he helped me get in contact with my regular dog walker, get my key, and get into my apartment in less than hour. Total life savers. Plus they're realy good with my dog. read more

QC have been walking our dogs for almost two years now. Our old ladies love their walker and the company has always been helpful and reliable. Highly recommend. read more

We have been using QC Dog Walking full time for the last six months. Rhett is responsive and his team is reliable; they've never missed a walk. QC offers a competitive rate for walks and a discount for bulk purchases, which is great for us. They also offer boarding which was great for our pup as he enjoys spending time with people he knows. I would recommend Rhett and his team as a great, local service. read more

We hired Rhett to catsit for us while we were away on vacation. During the 1st introduction, we informed him that we had a nanny cam to keep an eye on our cats. He must have forgotten because through the camera, we noticed that he showed up the 1st day but didnt show up the 2nd or 3rd day but continued to send us photos of his "visits". The photos he texted us did not have any metadata when he sent them to us. We confronted him about this when we returned and he was very unprofessional. His responses were nasty and defensive. For the record, this experience happened a few years ago. As I was recounting the story to a friend, I realized that I never left a review. I simply wish to inform people so they wont have to go through the same awful experience. No pet should have to go through not being fed or given fresh water for 2 days at a time plus by not showing up each day that he agreed to, he did not fully provide services that we paid for. read more

I've been using QC Dog Walking services for 9+ months and they've been amazing. Always super responsive and accommodating, they're always there when I need them. It's super easy to buy walk packages and schedule them online or via text. I love that they always send a picture confirming the walk happened. Highly recommend them - they're great! read more

Thank you Rhett and your team for taking great care of my precious pup. I love hearing from my neighbors how much my dog loves my walker. I also love seeing the photos of my happy boy at the end of every walk. Service is incredibly easy to schedule and has saved me multiple times when I had unexpected events come up! read more

Rhett and co have been walking our pup for the past 6 months and it's been really fantastic! Before that my previous roommate used the service for years and only had good experiences so we knew we were in good hands. Our little guy LOVES his walker and we feel so grateful to have someone we trust take care of him when we're not home. Rhett is very easy going and communicative and has had amazing customer service. read more

Working with Rhett was the best experience our boys had while we lived in Brooklyn. My JRT's LOVED Rhett and his professionally trained staff!! They were amazing and really knew how to handle my stubborn boys. After having our first daughter and being home healing from a c-section, QC was a life saver. Extremely affordable and came twice a day to help take our boys. They took Milo and Cody on long walks and worked on correcting their stubborn behaviors. When we went away on vacation they stayed at our apartment and treated it like it was their own and really spent quality time with boys so they wouldn't feel like we left them, this was so comforting to me. I would highly recommend Rhett and his team for all of your dog walking and pet sitting needs. read more

Rhett and his team (Nolan) are great! We recently moved to Brooklyn and had a tough time finding a dog walker until we spoke with Rhett. Rhett is very responsive via text, phone calls and email. He met us and our pup the next day and arrived early to our appointment. Our pup liked Rhett and got along with the other dog Nolan walks. read more

Rhett and his crew have taken very good care of our pup. They have always made it so easy to communicate, accommodated last-minute scheduling, and sent photos of June on her walks with her buddies! Love the transparency. Thanks QC Dog Walking! read more

Our dog is very reactive and weary of meeting other people and dogs. After losing her first walker, we were very stressed about finding a replacement. From our first meeting with the owner Rhett, I was impressed by his dedication and professionalism in handling her. She gets individual walks, and the same person she knows returning each day. The consistency has helped to establish a positive relationship with other humans (yay!) and given us great peace of mind. Rhett is always responsive to last minute schedule changes, and gives daily updates on her walks. I can't recommend this service enough. read more

Rhett is very responsive, easy to work with, and takes great care of my cats (including photo updates!). Scheduling is simple and Rhett has proven flexible when needed! read more

His pelvis is fractured on both sides needs a surgery, stays at the emergency hospital for a week. The Costs are over $10000. read more

Quality dog walking walked our dogs for approximately two years. We have relied on them consistently during this time and they are always available when we need them. I always have peace of mind knowing that if we are working late or need to go to work much earlier than normal, that I can simply text Rhett and he will respond within moments. We recently moved across country and I hope I can find someone as dedicated, cautious, and caring about our dogs as Rhett and his team. I looked forward to the daily pictures of our dogs that I would receive during each of their walks. We could trust any of our walkers with our keys which we would simply leave at the front desk, and in over two years we never had any negative experiences.Thank you for everything! read more

We had a frustrating experience with QC. A week into our time with them our dog ran away from her walker, leash still on. Our dog was missing for 22 hours until we found her at a schoolyard near our house. The incident was obviously traumatic for the dog, and incredibly emotionally taxing for us. While of course this was an accident, we felt the way Rhett (owner of QC) handled the situation was unprofessional. He did bike around looking for our dog until the evening and reimbursed us for the money we spent on fliers. However, we were notified 45 min after our dog initially ran off, we were never told what actually happened, and, after we told Rhett we were no longer going to use his service, he told us we were "irrational" in a very acerbic email. All in all, we feel exasperated after this experience. We want potential QC clients to be aware of communication issues that might arise when working with Rhett. read more

QC has been wonderful. I have a large, energetic boy who can be shy around strangers. Rhett took excellent care of him. All walks exceeded my expectations, rain or shine, and he was very attentive to my concerns and special requests. Very easy to work with. Highly recommend! read more

QC Dog Walking is an incredible service -- very reliable and kind. They provide above and beyond service by taking photos and sending text reports on how your dog did on their walk. My experience with Rhett and Justyn has been so fabulous -- I recommend everyone use their service! read more

Rhett and his team are AMAZING!!! I have a very finicky min pin and my work schedule is irregular with lots of last minute changes and weekend and evening hours. Rhett and the folks at QC never bat an eye or cut a corner. I'm very pleased with the services they provide and especially their flexibility given my schedule. I highly recommend Rhett and the team at QG Dogwalking!!! read more

QC has exceeded all my expectations for a dog walking service. They are incredibly flexible; I have forgotten to leave my key on several occasions and they have walked my poodle later in the day free of any additional charges! I would highly recommend this service to anyone who loves their dog. QC is the right choice! read more

QC Dog Walking Service, is outstanding. Rhett the owner and walker is incredibly professional, very friendly (my Schnauzer mix loves him to pieces). He does a great job and is very accommodating to specific needs. Overall, I think his service is fantastic and definitely recommend. read more

Thank you QC!! Cannot thank you guys enough for your awesome service over the past year in Brooklyn! Rhett and his team are incredible, and I could not ask for a better group to take care of Nigel and Bentley! QC is the most flexible dog walking team I've worked with, whether it's last minute cancellations or a one off weekend walk, Rhett is super communicative and always is there for the pups. Nigel is a small timid rescue, and Bentley is a very large energetic puppy, and they are quite the duo to walk, and Rhett and his team always managed to make it work (and send the highest quality photos that made my day). So sad to say goodbye to the team and find a new dog walker (I've moving out of Brooklyn, otherwise would be sticking with QC). Thanks guys!! read more

The best dog walkers in Brooklyn. Super easy to book, friendly, responsive, and amazing with my pet.

Rhett and his team are amaaaaazing! They have been walking Oates for four months now and I have never been disappointed. Flexible, reliable, accessible, trustworthy. They always do whatever they can to accommodate my busy schedule. read more

Rhett and his team are great!! I have been in Brooklyn for 6 months, and have been so impressed by them. They are extremely professional, reliable, and flexible. My dog is not easy- he barks at everything (other dogs, bicycles, people running) but they actually managed to introduce him to other dogs in the neighborhood and have them walk together sometimes. They even send pictures every day, which I think is so transparent and helpful. I would definitely recommend to other pet owners! read more

I have used Rhett and QC for about 3 years. They have been great every single time, very responsive, and I know I can trust them with my dog Maria. Both Maria and I are sad to no longer use them, but we have moved out of the area. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter in the Brooklyn area ! read more

I had a last minute business trip, and called Rhett about a few walks while I was gone. We agreed that he would meet me at 9am because I needed to leave for the airport by 10am. 9:30 rolled around with no contact, no explanation. Finally got a text a text at 10am that said he'd forgotten the appointment we scheduled the day before. So incredibly unprofessional. I would definitely think twice about entrusting your dog to such an irresponsible company. read more

We could not recommend Rhett and QC Dog Walking highly enough. It is very easy to schedule, re-schedule and add walks when those late nights at work inevitably come up. Rhett always tries to be as flexible as possible and does whatever he can can to help. We loved that our dog went on solo walks or was joined by one other dog friend for his walks and wasn't in huge pack walks. We only hope we can find as great a dog walking service now that we've left NYC. Thank you QC Dog Walking & Rhett! read more

Rhett and company are fantastic. They are reliable, trustworthy, and great with my dog. I had a daily walk as well as many "last minute" walks that they were able to almost always accommodate. On a side not, my dog is not friendly and they took this very seriously. They made sure that he walked alone. I would highly recommend QC for anyone who needs a walker! read more

We have used QC Dog Walking and Rhett's services since we moved to Brooklyn. My dog, Violet, is shy and quirky and she runs up to Rhett and her other walkers very excited! Which she rarely does to people. Also when I moved apartments, Rhett still made the trek to walk her, which i really appreciate. If you're looking for someone to walk your four-legged baby, these are people you can trust! read more

If you're looking for an accountable dog walking service, keep looking. The walkers don't use clips for the leashes and lost one of our dogs, then did very little to help find her. Questionable behavior in many ways, although if you ask Rhett nothing that goes wrong on his watch is actually his fault. It's actually your fault. read more

Rhett is professional, responsive, and wonderful with my cat when we are out of town. He sends a note and pictures after each visit to let me know that all is well. I feel that my beloved pet and home are in safe hands with QC! I recommend it highly. read more
