Good Dog Walking

Good Dog Walking is one of a growing number of neighborhood services popping up across Midtown—boutique pet businesses are replacing generic kennels all over. They specialize in midday strolls for dogs whose owners work long blocks away; group walks keep pups social while sidewalk loops burn off energy. Other options include one-on-one leash outings, off-leash park play sessions, last-minute drop-ins, and updates delivered by text after the walk. A pickup anywhere between 34th and 42nd Streets is usually easy. You’ll find them tucked inside a mid-block building at 254 W 35th St, New York, NY 10123—a quick stop between the garment district and the Port Authority. The same team also handles longer treks up to Riverside Park when the city waterfront feels calmer. Private trainers sometimes tag along for dogs that need extra cues on the go. Visits run about an hour unless you request the extended loop that climbs up to the High Line. Call (347) 471-1089 to set it up or find the route on the map: directions here. Midtown feels friendlier when you know your dog’s getting quality blocks instead of hallway pacing.
