NYC Doggies

NYC Doggies is a dog boarding and dog training service in New York, NY. Dogs stay in the team's own homes rather than in a commercial kennel building. Boarding is offered to dogs the team already knows through its other services, so a stay usually follows regular walks, hikes, or training.

Services

• In-home boarding for dogs known through the team's other services
• Small-group dog walks, capped at three dogs
• Off-leash dog hiking with GPS tracking
• Puppy, obedience, and behavioral training, plus board-training

What makes it different

Group size is the clearest signal. Walks are capped at three dogs, and hikes run off-leash with GPS tracking, which is a narrower way to work than large-pack outings. Regular clients are assigned a primary dog walker instead of a rotating handler, so the same person tends to show up. That familiarity is also the condition for boarding: the dogs sleeping over are ones the team has already spent time with.

Practical details

Hours run 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Booking is handled by email. Owners using the walking service get real-time notifications when their dog is picked up. The business also keeps accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and lists its services at nycdoggies.com.

The setup will not suit everyone. Owners who need a spot on short notice for a dog the team has never met are looking at a different kind of facility. Boarding here grows out of an existing relationship with the dog.
