The Dog House NYC opened in July 1996 as a dog care service offered to a few friends and neighbors in Riverside Park. Over the years, word spread until The Dog House NYC became a professional service in 1999. Today, with the help of several staff members, it continues to offer almost-home boarding and has expanded to provide both individual walks and playgroups.
We like to think we have more smiling dogs than any other service, and we believe the secret lies in relationship – between dog and human and among the dogs themselves. Dogs are first of all social animals.
