While some people worry New York City isn’t a good place to own a dog, that couldn’t be further from the truth. From hiking excursions to custom food delivery, NYC has every resource available to help pups and parents lead happy and healthy lives.
That being said, New Yorkers are notoriously pressed for time. So our friends at Ollie rounded up seven of the most convenient services for you and your four-legged roommate. All of them will save you plenty of New York minutes, no matter which of the five boroughs you live in.
With these seven convenient NYC dog services, you can enjoy the quality time you and your pooch have together — totally stress-free:

In New York, we all want to look our best. And with a little help from the New York Dog Nanny, your dog will glow from the inside out.
The paw parlor approaches grooming from a holistic, teeth-to-tail standpoint. They go above and beyond your typical fur-cuts (organic shampoo, naturally) and nail clipping.
They also offer many premium services — think dematting, at-home grooming, and even Reiki consultations.
The grooming pros can also create custom packages, regardless of your budget. Plus, when you bring your dog in at certain times, they offer happy hour discounts (like teeth-brushing for $10.95).
Just don’t be jealous when your pooch looks better than you do 😉

The East Village-based site specializes in compassionate treatment. Perfect for any furry guys suffering from fear, anxiety, reactivity, or aggression towards people or other dogs.

6. Let Clutter pick up and store your bub’s seasonal goods
There’s no doubt your pup is the most spoiled stylish on the block. But when your studio apartment barely has room to house your own gear from season to season, chances are you don’t exactly have an entire canine-clothing closet, either.
Don’t sacrifice any furry fashion for square footage. Clutter instead.
Simply schedule a storage pickup (your first pickup is free), pack anything your pup doesn’t need right now (like his doggles), and leave the rest to MakeSpace.
They’ll pick up, store, and deliver your pup’s stuff back so that you have more space in your home for your favorite hobbies. Like fetch, belly rubs, and tug-o-war.
7. Allow your pooch to embark on an adventure with NYC Doggies
Heading upstate for long hikes every single weekend is definitely the dream.
But until you finally build that logwood cabin in the Hudson Valley, your pup can still get out of the concrete jungle and into the great outdoors.
How?
With a little help from NYC Doggies.
This team of experts will get to know your dog, place her in a carefully selected group, and then whisk her off on a 5- to 7-hour hike outside of the city.
Happy pooches swap the city pavement for mountain trails. There, they spend at least three hours sniffing, splashing, and socializing, off the leash.
And because you’re waiting until you build that cabin upstate to also get your car, don’t worry about transportation. Pickup and dropoff are included.
