The Upper West Side near Riverside Park and Central Park, where Waving Paws walks private dogs

Upper West Side

Household care for your dog, on the Upper West Side.

One assigned walker who knows your building, your doorman, and the route your dog already loves. Never a group walk, never a stranger.

The neighborhood we know

From the Riverside Park promenade to the Central Park bridle path, your dog is walked by one person who learns the blocks the way you do.

The Upper West Side keeps its own rhythm. Riverside Park's dog runs at 72nd, 87th, and 105th, the Bull Moose run by the Natural History Museum, the tree-lined stretches from Lincoln Square up through the West 90s. Your dog knows these blocks, and the person who walks them should too.

We assign one walker to your household and keep them there. They learn your building and your staff, the pace your dog prefers, and the quiet routes when Broadway gets loud. That continuity is the whole point. The dog runs to the door because the face is always the same.

Private walks only

Your dog, walked alone.

No packs, no shared leashes, no waiting while five other dogs finish. Every walk is one on one, paced and routed for your dog, whether that is a slow morning along Riverside or a brisk lap through the park.

One assigned walker

The same trusted face, every time.

You are not booking a stranger from an app each morning. You have one person who holds your keys, knows your building, and becomes part of how your household runs. When you travel, the routine stays exactly as it is.

What we handle

Everything the dog needs, close to home.

The daily walk

Private, individual walks on your dog's schedule. Riverside, the promenade, the Central Park paths your dog already knows.

Appointments and trips

The vet visit, the groomer, the standing appointment. Handled by the walker your dog already trusts, not a stranger.

Overnights and drop-ins

When you travel, the same trusted face stays close. Your dog keeps their routine and their home, exactly as they are.
