Services

Walks, drop-ins, overnights, and vet trips

One assigned walker, private walks only, and a standing routine you arrange once. Set across Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn.

What we do

A short list, done properly

Private Walks

Your dog walks alone, never in a group, with the same person each time. A standing schedule down to the hour, the route they prefer, and a note after every visit so you always know how the day went.

From $35 per 30 minutes, $45 per hour. Additional dog $10.

Drop-ins and Overnights

When you travel, your dog stays home in their own routine. Meals, medication, fresh water, and company through the day, with overnight stays so the house is never empty and nothing about their week changes.

Drop-ins from $30. Overnights $120. Additional dog $10.

Vet and Groomer Trips

We handle the appointments you would rather not fit into your day. Pickup, the trip there and back, and a full handoff afterward, so the vet visit or grooming is simply taken care of while you carry on.

From $30 per trip.

Day Care

Your dog spends the day in attentive company rather than alone at home. Walks built into the hours, familiar routine kept intact, and updates through the day so you always know how it is going.

From $70 per day, three walks included.

Arrange day care

Tell us your dog, your building, and the rhythm of your week. We match one walker and set the standing schedule from there.

Honestly, just call Mark. My dog loses his mind when he hears his walker is coming.

Frequently asked questions

How do you keep my dog safe
Your dog is walked by one assigned person who is background checked and works on secure equipment, never handed to a rotating roster. We hold clear protocols for anything unexpected, and you receive a note after every visit. We are fully insured and bonded, and we hold relationships with vets across the city.
Can the care be shaped around my dog
We tailor our services to suit your dog's unique needs, whether it is a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an energetic romp through the park. We will feed, administer medication, and any other preferences you may have are all set to your routine and kept consistent.
What happens in an emergency
Your walker is prepared to act at once and works with trusted local veterinarians when needed. You are contacted straight away and kept informed until your dog is settled.
What makes Waving Paws different
One walker who knows your dog by name and your building by heart, private walks only, and a standard of care you set once and never have to manage. The dog runs to the door when they arrive.
How do I begin
Send a note through the contact page with your neighborhood and what your dog needs. We follow up to learn the particulars and set the standing schedule from there.

Cancellation policy

Plans change, and the policy is built to be fair on both sides. Walks, drop-ins and trips ask for 24 hours notice to cancel at no charge, after which half the visit applies and same-day cancellations are charged in full. Day care asks for 48 hours and overnights for 72, with shorter notice resulting in a partial or full charge. Refunds are issued as credit or to the original payment method, and frequent last-minute changes may move an arrangement to prepayment.
