About Us

Our work is not a late in life "rewarding second career" or a part-time job. Downtown Dog Walk, LLC (DTDW) is a small company and there is never a revolving door of ever changing, newly hired, ill-prepared individuals entering your home.

We're your neighbors, and live in the community we serve.

Depending on your dog's needs, we prefer to create buddy walks, rather than pack walks. We work hard at matching up your dog with another based on age, temperament, play style and size. Most dogs really enjoy having a canine friend. They know exactly where their best buddy lives and miss them if they take a day off. This all serves to enrich their lives.  While we have extensive Puppy and Dog experience; we also have wide-ranging experience caring for all critters: Kittens, Cats, Ferrets, Birds, Rodents, Amphibians. 

DTDW has strong alignments with the best local 'positive reinforcement dog/animal trainers/behaviorists only', personally vetted by us. If a trainer/behaviorist is ever needed, you are covered and we all work together as a team to help.

They say if you do what you love you'll be happy. We have been doing what we love for a very long time and it shows, but our love for animals goes beyond our rewarding profession. We feel a deep commitment to our local animal community. Mary Ann (DTDW founder) created and moderated, DOGJC on Facebook, a welcoming online community message board for Jersey City dog owners to come together and share dog related topics affecting our city and beyond (2005 - 2020). We have a strong and long time loyalty to our local animal shelter here in Jersey City at 'Liberty Humane Society'.

Every Pet in our care becomes part of our Family.
