Dave’s Dog Duty

I was not comfortable trusting my dog with anybody. Yeah, I know I’m a nut case. I send my kids to a school where they are assigned to a seemingly random adult to be their teacher, but I won’t leave my dog in anyone’s care. That was until I met Dave and his team. Besides being responsible and professional, they were also patient with my neurosis. And how did they get me over the «I don’t trust anybody with my dog» thing? By caring. It’s that simple. They treat my dog like I would.

Dave is not your run of the mill dog walker. Although he is very upfront about the fact that he is not a dog trainer, Dave is observant, enthusiastic, careful and patient with dogs (and their owners!). We have a sensitive beagle mix rescue with some quirky issues, and Dave and his team have been really, really patient and persistent.
I absolutely recommend Dave — if you have any doubts, give him a call directly; he’s a great communicator and works hard to make sure the dogs (even tricky ones!) get what they need.

Dave has been walking my dog Stella for more than a year now and we could not be happier. Stella can be a bit of a handful and has some confidence problems while walking the streets. Not only as Dave given her the exercise that she needs to get through the day but she has also gained confidence in her walks! I would highly recommend him for your pup!

Dave and Jim were great with my French bulldog, Oliver. As a business owner and dog lover, Dave was always concerned about Oliver’s welfare. I am a freelancer so my schedule can change on a whim and Dave was excellent at accommodating when possible. He is also very responsive via text and email. The daily notes were informative and funny. One of my favorite notes about my insubordinate Frenchie was «more enthusiasm about standing than walking». Sounds about right.
Recently moved to LA, and recommend his services to those in the Slope and surrounding areas.

Dave is the real deal guys.
At first glance you might be fooled by my dog’s charming good looks and constant tail wagging… don’t be. He’s only 35lbs, but he can be a truly destructive whirlwind of chewed up shoes, toilet-​paper, drywall (really…), cushions, TV remotes, and generally anything of value in your apartment.
This summer my girlfriend and I adopted Murphy (a beagle /​lab /​hound /​golden/​something or other mutt). To put a stop-​gap in the destruction he was gleefully causing, we turned to Dave, who has consistently delivered. Dave’s rates are very reasonable, and our dog seems to really like him, which is great because he’s not always good with new people off the bat. The improvement in Murphy’s behavior and general happiness was immediate, daily walks with Dave seem to do the trick!
Dave leaves a custom note every day after his walk that lets us know how Murphy did that day, whether he pooped/​peed, general comments, etc. This is a really nice touch, Dave also is very good about communicating any really important updates (i.e. irregular behavior, throwing up, diarrhea, etc.). It is really a relief to know that our pup is in excellent hands!
I’d definitely recommend Dave to anyone seeking a reliable and friendly walker.

Dave is a most excellent dog walker! He is extremely accommodating with scheduling and great with meeting the needs of your dog. I have an elderly beagle who is a very happy old lady when I come home from work, thanks to her afternoon walks with Dave. The price is right too — I thought the cost would skyrocket when I moved to Brooklyn, but Dave’s rates are comparable to prices I paid in Trenton, NJ. Highly recommended!

I am really happy with Dave. He cares a lot about my beagle who is a handful and he is teaching me more than a few things about how to be a good owner.
