Luke Dog Walker

We love the crew at Luke’s from the management (Tony and Christina) to the walkers (our pup goes bananas for Emily!). We have been working with them for close to a year and every interaction has been professional but relaxed and friendly. Unlike other dog walking programs, Luke’s provides flexibility in our schedule so if there are days where my husband or I will be home to take care of the dog and don’t need a walker, we can let them know in advance and the walk is simply removed from our invoice vs prepaying for the month.
If you’re on the UWS, highly recommend their services.

We started using this service when my dog was a little puppy over 3 years ago now. We’ve had a great experience with them. They care a lot about the dogs and are very reliable. We have used them for walks and also board our dog with Tony and Christina when we go away. Our dog is always so excited to see them! We have had Zac as our walker for most of the time and he’s great too. I look forward to getting a daily update on what they did on their walk. I feel relieved that my dog is getting such good care when we are not able to be around. I highly recommend them.

I love this dog walking service, Tony and Christina are truly as good as it gets. We moved to the upper west side from gramercy last year and felt the dog walking services on this side of manhattan were over priced and disappointing. We tried numerous services until we ran into a walker with this company. I have had no complaints since we started working with Luke Dog Walker. I always joke that if they can put up with us as a client, they can put up with anyone… this is unfortunately because my partner and I both have jobs where we won’t know the exact schedule until the night before or even sometimes the day of. This makes scheduling sometimes difficult but Tony has always been extremely accommodating or honest if they simply cannot make it work. Zac and Erica are our dog walkers, I don’t know Erica as well but she seems extremely competent! And Zac, well, Zac has been a gem from the start. Scout has really bonded with him and it’s really apparent when Zac leaves and he sleeps by the door waiting for him to come back.
Tony and Christina have boarded Scout as well and he had such a great time. Scout doesn’t do super well in kennel boarding (as we’ve noticed in the past) and this service was perfect for him.
I cannot thank them enough for answering all of those late night emails, for taking care of scout like he is their own, and for just having fun with my little man. Such a great company, I cannot say it enough.

We are extremely pleased with this service. We adopted our puppy on a Saturday and Tony and Christina were walking her by Monday. Our priority was to have regular walkers and the option to board in a home, not a kennel; Luke Dog Walker provides all of that. Tony helped train our pup to walk on a leash and (to our delight) walk up and down stairs — no easy feat when living in an elevator building. Finally, our new daily walker, Ken, really goes above and beyond with communication. When an apartment in our building was on fire (yes, on fire), he gave us constant updates on the situation and put our mind at ease. Best of all, it is very obvious that our pup loves the team — when she sees them on the street, she goes bonkers with excitement.

I’ve been using Luke Dog Walker for over a month now and I have been so thrilled with both Austin and Christine as our dog walkers. They are both reliable, kind, professional, and so great with my pup. They live for the dogs!
Tony, one of the owners, is great and always responds to my emails super promptly. I also get daily post-​walk updates from Austin/​Christine. I would highly recommend Luke Dog Walker! I know that my dog is in great hands during her afternoon walks.

My dog Honey absolutely loves Christina. She is so great with the furry friends! Dependable, responsible, trustworthy, punctual, and best of all, lovable! Stop searching for a dog walker now and just hire them.

Last October we adopted our dog on a Sunday afternoon and we needed a dog walker ASAP since my boyfriend and I both worked full time. Someone recommended Luke Dog Walker so we called on Monday. Tony made a house visit on Tuesday and was walking our pup, CC, by Wednesday. Over the past 7 months she’s had 3 different dog walkers due to some schedule reorganization, but they always do a house visit with us first on a weekend so we can meet the new walker. All walkers have been very nice and seem to genuinely care about our dog. They are very reliable and very flexible with last minute changes. I also enjoy getting a text every day letting me know how the walk went.
It’s nice peace of mind to know our dog is getting a nice walk while we are at work thanks to Luke Dog Walker and their reliable service. I certainly recommend them to anyone on the UWS!

I moved to the UWS about 3 months ago and have had Zac walking my dog for about 3 months now. They were recommended to me by my old dog walker on the east side. Hate to say this, but these guys beat my old dog walker by leaps and bounds. They are consistently helpful and always reliable. My last service was a revolving door of walkers coming and going but these past three months it’s been the same great walker.
They are always extremely accommodating for any last minute scheduling changes or late night walks I might need. I’ve also called up last minute in a bind for an overnight sitter and they’ve helped out.
They are nothing but fantastic. I definitely recommend!
