I want it to be a full service company that tends to the needs of the busy New Yorker, whether it be dog walking, cat care or keeping veterinary and grooming appointments. Even the chores that my clients may not be able to accomplish in a normal day, like dropping off or picking up dry cleaning and Post Office runs. I want to be the personal assistant to New York pets and their owners."

Pet Check Technology™ is a proprietary system that provides all parties with real-time certainty that your dog is being taken care of. It's done by using mobile barcode technology, email alerts, GPS tracking, and online tools to provide accuracy and convenience. You'll be able to tack the GPS coordinates of your dog's walk as well as manage your dog-walk schedule through a secure Walk the Dog management page online. Automated reporting of arrival and departure times are sent via email so you can see exactly when and where your dog was walked.

I used the Bow Wow Boys to care for my dog and cat while I was in LA for 10 days. They were great. My animals love these guys, even my evil cat loves them. I hate to admit it, but they were probably better cared for than they are with me, and I'm a great parent, imho :o)

OMG! Bob & Drew have saved my hide more than few times! Bowwowboys is JUST what I had in mind when I was looking for a dogwalking service. I couldn't be happier that the other larger dog walking company didn't work out! Bob takes SUCH good care of my sweet beasties. And OHHHHHH they love him so! I am SOOOOO lucky to have found them! Thank you Bowwowboys!

Kim in Midtown

Bob and Drew do such a great job. My dog absolutely adores Bob—it gives such great peace of mind to know how happy she is and in such capable hands. Can't recommend them enough!

Ellen in Harlem

Love Bow Wow Boys! No one will take care of your dog better than Bob!

Rob in Chelsea

Both Bob and Drew walked my newly adopted dog for me. From the moment I met Bob at the consultation meeting, I felt at ease and happy that he would be walking my dog. Bob and Drew were punctual, professional and great with my dog. They left detailed messages about the walk and I was able to track where the walk took place from beginning to end. I was beyond satisfied with their services and would recommend them to anyone looking for professional dog walkers!

Eliza in Upper West Side

From our consultation, Bob was easy going and listened to my needs since I had a serious ligament tear and have been staying in NYC. Duke waits for him in the morning near the door and is very happy upon his return walk. I can actually say that Bob takes great care of my fur baby on those days that I attend physical therapy and Duke is just relaxed when I get back. I've even had last minute last requests and they always works us in. We couldn't ask for better service.

Bob and the Bow Wow Boys are awesome. I don't know what I did without them. Olivia, the dog, loves them and I feel great knowing that she'll be well taken care of when I'm not home. I get an email when the walk starts and then another when the walk is over with a little paragraph describing their walk with a few highlights. I love these little walk descriptions. I look forward to Olivia's days with the Bow Wow Boys just for the little email reports. I share them with my friends. Apparently Olivia has maternal instincts. Who knew? Bob knew. He's good people and is a natural dog person. I cannot recommend the Bow Wow Boys highly enough.
