Dog Walking

Group and private walks

We cater all our services to each dog depending on their personalities and energy levels. We suggest trying our group walks for proper socialization, however occasionally group walks might not be available (i.e: on higher floor walk ups, building regulations, specific time frames, aggressive behavior, senior dogs or small puppies, and on days when group buddies don’t need walks). In that case, we will be providing private walks, and private walk fees apply.

Care instructions

Before we begin, please include all information and detailed instructions in the application. If you want to add or change any information, we require all corrections/updates to be emailed to info@nytails.com. We we are not responsible for misinterpreted verbal requests, or handwritten and chat notes lacking details. Please allow a 2-hour time frame for the walk to start (1-hour time frame for crated puppies under 1 year old), and 4-hour time frame for cat visits to start.

The duration of walks and visits

Our walkers will start the timer when they arrive in your building, and will stop it when they are saying good-bye to your pup at your home.

Keys

We can borrow the key from a doorman for a duration of a walk and return it back when the walk is completed. For non-doorman buildings: we require two copies of your keys. Your walker will have one set and we will keep the other at our office in case your walker is ill and can’t come to work, or if you request evening/weekend walks. Without 2nd set we cant guarantee a walk if your regular walker is unavailable.

Our online platform

Please note we use dotimely.com for all scheduling and invoices. We will create your profile and set up your original schedule before we start walking your pooch. We ask that you make any changes through the dotimely.com website or DT phone app. You can also reach us via email info@nytails.com or call us at 212-706-9560 during our office hours. We don’t accept any schedule adjustments or cancelations through Groupme chat, and need 12 work hours to cancel or approve the appointments received by the email.
