DogDay Dog Walkers

Your search ends here for your East Harlem, Upper East Side dog walker! I hired Chris more than 2 years ago. I have 3 dogs to be walked weekly and boarded when im out of town. Chris or Katrina comes everyday to the rescue. They keep me updated with a written note after every walk. He is a caring professional and I could never depend on anyone else. My dogs are in love and I am a customer for life!

Chris is extremely friendly and reliable.
He walked my Yorkie for over 3 years now. I trust him implicitly. My dog loves him, and looking forward to see him everyday. Since my Yorkie is somewhat untisocial, Chris takes time out of his busy schedual to play and socialize him above and beyond normal effort. As well when I travel for short term and long term business trips Chris boards my dog. My dog is very happy and well tended to while in his care.
I would highly recommend Chris as a dog walker and a sitter.
Excellent in my experience!

Chris at Dog Day Walkers is one of the things I miss most about relocating to Florida. My fiancé and I could depend on Chris to take our King Charles Cavalier out for her midday walk. We always returned home to a happy and calm pup. Izzy misses you too!

My dog is happy and walked. They specialize in special need pups-​they walk one at a time (no pack walking). Already three months and my buddy’s dog nervous character has improved. I recommend. Very friendly people.

We were working with Tania and Chris for about a year and a half, paying for 45 minute walks M-​F. As far as we know, everything was going well. One day we came home early at 3 pm, and discovered our dog had not been out yet (they are supposed to take him on his walk around noon). We then stepped out for a few minutes and returned to find the dog had been picked up in the interim. Tania returned with the dog after just a 15 minute walk, and acted as if everything was normal.
I have no idea how long they had been ripping us off, but dog walking is a service that requires upstanding ethics and a solid trusting relationship between the dog owners and the walkers. I do not trust Chris and Tania at all, and I strongly advise you not to work with these people.

I’ve been using a few different dog walking company’s until I finely decided to go with Dog Day Dog Walkers. My dogs are very near and dear to me & I just don’t want anyone walking them. They are family to me. Dog day goes out of there way to accommodate my every need. Not only are they friendly. prompt & know the dog. Our dogs love them. I would recommend them to anyone who needs their dog walked or looked after. Thank you for making my life a little bit easier.

BEWARE!!! STAY FAR AWAY FROM TANIA AND CHRIS!!!
If I could give zero stars I would! Let me sum my experience up in three words: LIARS, CHEATS, & THIEVES.
For months my doormen watched them walk my dogs for X amount of time and brought it to my attention through casual conversation. I told the doorman that they were supposed to be walked for Y amount of time! He assured me that this was not the case and that my dogs were not and that I was being takin advantage of!!!
I always kept a log so they must sign in and sign out and leave brief description about the day. Routinely they logged in at the same time and check out at the same time for the X amount of time.
I couldn’t believe what i was hearing because they seem so nice to my face. So i then put into place a recon mission with my doormen. They began tracking times in and out for months. These times matched my buildings dog walker key log! They were lying on my log by falsifying the time of day and also the length of the walk. They were paid for double the amount of time they were spending with my dogs! They were basically giving my poor dogs a relief walk when they should have been exercising the dogs for the amount being paid for!
THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS ! I DON’T KNOW HOW MICH LONGER IT WENT ON PREVIOUS TO MY RECON MISSION AND HOW LONG IT WOULD HAVE CONTINUED IF MY DOORMAN HADNT BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION!!!
SO TO CONCLUDE THEY MAY SEEM NICE TO YOUR FACE BUT WHEN YOUR NOT HOME THEY CAN BE LIARS CHEATS AND THIEVES!
BEWARE IF THEY WALK YOUR DOG THEY COULD BE NEGLECTING YOUR PETS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU!
BEWARE!!!

We have had the BEST experience with Tania and Chris from Dog Day Walkers. Tania is our regular dog walker and she is so good with our terribly sweet but nervous rescue dog, Lucy. Lucy is still getting used to her new Manhattan lifestyle and does not easily trust new people or experiences. Tania knew exactly how to work with Lucy and quickly gain her trust — we’ve had experience with other walkers but no one as patient and kind as Tania. Highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you have a higher maintenance dog.

Chris and his fiancé Tania are amazing — professional, responsible and extremely good with the dogs they care for. I HIGHLY recommend DogDay Dog Walkers!
I contacted Chris for an emergency walk and feeding for my dog when I realized as I was about to leave town that I didn’t have anyone to walk or feed my dog for a 24-​hour period. I Unilocal-​ed several dog walkers in my neighborhood at 8 am on a Friday and contacted everyone. Chris called me within the hour (it may not have even taken him that long!). Not only did Chris and Tania agree to meet me 45 minutes later at a halfway point between me and them, they did it with a smile and totally understood my situation. And they offer extremely competitive rates — $ 15 for 30 minutes, you can’t beat that!
Tania did my intake on the corner where I arranged to meet her asking me all of the pertinent questions about my dog, including those that I never would have thought to ask which reassured me of their professionalism!
My sister returned home a few hours after Chris walked and fed my dog and told me that the dog walker must have been great because my doggie was exhausted and VERY happy (which doesn’t happen unless she gets a nice long walk with lots of petting!)! Chris even sent me a text message after his walks with my dog to let me know how they went, e.g., «she did number 1 and 2!» LOL. I felt extremely comforted on my out-​of-​town trip knowing Chris was taking care of her!
I highly recommend DogDay Dog Walkers without ANY hesitation!

I have had the pleasure of both Chris and Tania walking my dogs and when I moved from east to west Harlem I was grateful I could keep Chris as our walker. He has been completely dependable and great with my large dogs. They can be a handful and I had one elderly dog with incontinence, dementia, and hip problems. Chris was also very very supportive as I have had to put the older dog down and he was great with her in her final months. I can’t recommend them enough and in fact when I first met him and was given references to check, all of them couldn’t say enough good things about him and his walkers. Also all the references were people who had used him for YEARS which I think speaks volumes about the trust people have in him.

We met with Chris and Janene after reading reviews here about a month ago and our experience so far with them has been wonderful. Janene is great with both dogs and though they are sweethearts, they are not necessarily easy dogs. I’ve worked from home a couple of times since meeting them and my dogs love to see Janene come through the door!

When we moved to San Francisco from NYC last month, we were so sad we couldn’t take Chris with us. We don’t know if we’ll ever find someone to replace him! Chris was AWESOME with our insane, reactive, barky pitbull puppy. He figured out what worked with her, and even managed to get her on walks with other dogs. And he was always available for last-​minute pet-​sitting! Chris has a lot of experience and clearly cares a lot about the dogs he takes care of, and we’d recommend him to anyone.

Chris is awesome. When I lived in East Harlem he always took good care of my chihuahua. When we were moving, all the in and out scared him and Chris offered to let him hang out at his apartment for no additional fee. I’d definitely recommend him.
