Walk NYC dogs the way you’d walk your own.

Walk the same dogs. Know their names. Build the route.

Pay that reflects the standard

Walks routed in the neighborhood you live in.

Variable pickups and short-notice booking that work for your schedule, not against it

A Team you're proud to walk alongside, the 4.4% who made it in.

Real ops support. A real human in the chat fast.

Continuity. You walk the same dogs every week.

The bar is the same everywhere. The city makes it specific.

How it Works

How to apply?

Application

Short. We ask what we need to know, nothing else.

First Call

If you make the first cut, a brief phone conversation follows.

Reference Checks

Two reference checks. We call them directly.

Interview

A real conversation with a member of the Woofer team.

Walker Training

Our safety standards, our protocols, your foundation.

Dog Handling Assessment

The final gate. You demonstrate what you know.

A Higher Standard, Built to Give Back

Gold Standard

Woofer isn’t designed to feel exclusive or out of reach. It’s built to raise the baseline for how dog walking should be done — safer, more personal, and more accountable.
