Leashed NYC

Brian is the absolute best! We have had several walkers over the last few years, but none of them compare at all. He genuinely cares about Bleecker and seems to really enjoy what he does.
On top of that, he is very flexible– whenever something comes up and I have to go out of town for a day, or can’t get home from work until very late, I’ll send a frantic text message to see if Brian can come by on short notice, and he always does!
Brian always texts me during or after the walk to let me know how the walk went, and if there’s anything else I need to know.
I never want to leave the upper west side because I don’t know what we would do without Leashed!

Do NOT trust the outlier! Brian is the BEST of the Upper West Side. Trust me. I know!
I came on to the Unilocal website to show a friend who I was recommending Brian to and was shocked to see a negative review of what was clearly an individual experience that does not define Brian or his company AT ALL.
I adopted a very skittish dog who needed a lot of help adjusting to the city. A few trainer sessions got her leash walking but she was still a little timid on the leash. Three months after I adopted her and having already fallen madly in love, my dog went missing in Manhattan and was thankfully found after one horrific week of looking all over the city we got our dog back. So you can imagine that I was going to be even MORE stringent than ever who was taking care of my pup while I was at work.
I went through THREE dog walkers from some of the bigger companies before I finally found Brian, and when I did, my whole life changed. The other dog walkers were not patient with my rescue pup and quit on me. In their defense my dog would sometimes get overprotective of the house and snarl a little, but this is just because she was frightened. By the time I found Brian I was so hopeless and was just looking for someone to get her safely out the door twice a day, but what I found was SO. MUCH. MORE!
This is the first time my dog has been excited to walk with a dog walker. He is prompt and reliable. He is flexible with last minute changes no questions asked. He does single dog walks and all the attention is focused on my dog. After every walk he texts me to let me know they are back. I am a Pediatrician and spend all day convincing parents to instill upon me their trust to take care of their little ones. Frankly, Brian does that for me and I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Buster is an adorable Frenchie and more, he is my family; therefore I would only trust his care to my mom and Leashed NYC. I’ve used Leashed NYC for dog walking for almost 2 years and I highly recommend their services: flexible, safe, accommodating, responsible, caring. Not the cheapest in NYC but BUster is priceless to me! B. not only walks BUster but plays with him, cleans his paws, feeds him, cleans after him if needed and responsibly informs me about health threats; I do not doubt in my mind BUster comes first when under Leashed NYC’s care. Highly recommended!

BE CAREFUL!!! This person gave me insurance documentation that i verified was not accurate!!! Brian came to my home and was nice and responded to my emails quickly. I asked him to provide a copy of his insurance and two references and he did. On the day the dog walking was supposed to begin, I asked that he send a copy of his Drivers License, along with his insurance, so that I can keep for my records and so that I could provide a copy to my building, since he will also have access to the front door. He responded back defensively, saying that he «did not feel comfortable» having copies of his ID «floating out there» and asked why I was being «so skeptical» that «non of his other clients needed this.» I reminded him that he will have a copy of my house key «floating around» and a copy of my door key. (We are a very close community in my building and I would never compromise the safety of our neighbors.) This prompted me to call his insurance to be sure that he did in fact have insurance and ask if they could confirm his address for me. Well, guess what? They said that he is NOT INSURED with them and the address on the previous insurance doesn’t match the records he provided. I can only assume why he was being dodgy about giving me a copy of his identification. I will not trust access to my home, my neighbors homes, or with an invaluable member of my family to anyone who provides me false information or who is apprehensive about giving me proper documentation when I am giving them access to my home and my beloved pet. You shouldn’t either.

Brian is an absolute lifesaver! He is very accommodating, flexible, reasonably priced, and on top of that my dog Casper loves him. Brian walks and occasionally boards Casper, and it gives me great peace of mind knowing my pup is in the care of someone whom I know gives the highest quality care. I highly recommend Leashed NYC!

Brian and Leashed NYC is the most reliable, friendliest, more responsible dog walking we’ve ever used. Our greyhound, Rocco, is a big fan of Brian. Leashed NYC is not only flexible, but also affordable and REALISTIC about what New York dog owners need from such a service. I definitely recommend Leashed NYC. If you have any questions about their services, please feel free to contact me. My husband and I are two happy customer-​clients. :)
