Luis and Michael have been great! They’re always on time, they’re very accommodating and our 2.5-year-old pittie loves his walks with them. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog walkers!
I highly recommend DooDog! Michael and Lu are the best and came recommended to me by friends in the neighborhood. I recently went from working remote to being in the office everyday. They made the transition so much easier for me with their daily updates and amazing pics of my dog Axel on his walks while Im at work. Im so grateful for the team at DooDog! ❤️🐾
Amazing service! If you live in Astoria and you need pet care, look no further! We loved the updates, photos and video which made us smile knowing our kitty family was well cared for while we were away. Uncle Doo was very friendly, professional and communicative. You can tell he really loves animals and goes the extra mile to ensure that you can feel relaxed knowing that your pets are safe and happy. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Legitimately cannot recommend Uncle Doo’s enough. Best decision ever to use Michael and his team. Let me preface with saying that I rarely write reviews.My schedule has its moments of being incredibly tough and these guys truly come to the rescue. My pup, feels so at home with Michael. The quality of his service goes above and beyond. That goes for his team as well. He will even let me know ahead of time if he is introducing my pup to another member of his team so that they can get familiar with my puppy. He has not only taken my pup, Franklin, in as basically one of his own, but he has tended to all of my puppy training concerns as well— whether that be leash biting, how to socialize with other dogs, leash pulling and just making Franklin feel safe and right at home in his care. Again, I truly cannot recommend these guys enough. They send a detailed report after every session with the cutest pictures and updates. If you live in Astoria, do yourself a favor and choose them for your pup. These people are animal lovers, they’re kind, they’re respectful and will treat your babies like royalty!!!
Could not recommend Michael and his crew any more - the level of care, attention, and communication they provide leaves me with no worries when it comes to my pup. They are consistently in contact before, during, and after my dog’s walks and I trust them with full confidence. Additionally, their flexible scheduling on the app is a huge bonus for if/when I need to add an additional walk per week. Not only that, but Michael is constantly seeking feedback fromhis clients to make sure they are satisfied. Feeling very lucky to have him and his crew in our neighborhood :-)
Michael is the BEST! He and his crew have been walking my pup for over a year now and the peace of mind their care brings me is invaluable, a positive experience through and through. Each walk they provide a detailed report and photos of their outing. Quick and clear communication, easy scheduling system. Very reasonable pricing. They have gone above and beyond for me on multiple occasions. A lot of thought goes into pack dynamics and it is obvious that Michael and his team care for these pets as their own. I cannot recommend this business highly enough!
Michael, the owner of DooDog, is amazing. When I first spoke to him about my dog, I let him know that she can be very fearful and timid when being outside. The first several times I scheduled walks with his service, he insisted that he would be the only one to walk her so he could get to know her and understand her. He spent time building a connection with her. He communicated with me immediately after the walks about what he noticed and learned about my dog. Taking time to make a connection with her, told me that he has her best interest at heart. Now that Michael understands her, he is able to communicate with the other walkers on his team, what he knows about her and the best way to handle her on her walks. Michael makes himself very available to his clients and is easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Scheduling is easy and he has weekend availability! At the end of the day, I feel that my dog is truly cared about and in great care with Michael and his team at DooDog.
I cannot recommend DooDog enough!! My rescue dog struggles to meet new people, and Michael was beyond patient and attentive. He is reliable, caring, knowledgable, experienced, and though I didnt work with anyone else from the DooDog team, Michaels high standards gives me no doubt his team would deliver the same exceptional care. After contacting almost every dog service in the Queens area, I found DooDogs prices to be comparable and reasonable. Scheduling walks via the app is incredibly easy, and a report with photos is delivered after every walk (with an adorable message too!). DooDog delivers not only for the dog, but the owner too - personable, flexible, and genuine. Im so grateful for Uncle Doo!!!
This is a fantastic dog walking service. Michael walks our dog twice per week and is incredibly reliable, flexible, trustworthy, fairly priced and, most importantly, our dog loves him so much! Our dog is shy around strangers and we thought a dog walker would be impossible for us, but now Michael’s visit is his favorite part of the week. Michael is a great guy and we really enjoy chatting with him when he stops by. He’s been extremely kind to us and also gave us a bunch of parenting advice when we had our baby earlier this year. He is really sweet to the dogs, gives them lots of treats and affection, and always shares great photos and updates. We have also met several of the other walkers and they are also great. We highly recommend this service!
If youre trying to find the best dog walker/cat caretaker in Astoria, look no further than Uncle Doo! Michael and his team are the absolute best in the game. I have a cat and a 110lb rescue pup, and always have peace of mind that my pup is comfortable and safe on her walks. From the beginning, Michael has taken his time getting to know her, my preferred walking devices for her, her quirks, her diet, and more. As an over-protective dog mom, a dog walker I can trust to keep my pup safe has been a blessing.Uncle Doo is easy to communicate with, reliable, and we get the cutest report cards and photos after each dog walk or kitty visit. I also work with rescue dogs and have recommended Uncle Doo services to countless dog fosters and adopters. Michael has experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and quirks, and is very thoughtful about building his team of experienced and qualified dog walkers and cat sitters. You can trust the Uncle Doo team to provide the best possible care to your pets, and would be lucky to have them - my dog and cat would agree. :)
My Bruno recently started walking with DooDog. Michael and his team have been extremely patient and kind to my boy. They have taken the time to work with Bruno’s fear of putting on his leash. Michael has made sure to keep me updated on Bruno’s behavior. I would highly recommend DooDog, especially if your dog needs a little more time and work to feel comfortable.
Above and beyond! Michael has such a love for dogs. We fostered a very energetic and aggressive puppy and he treated him with so much love. Was always very accommodating to our schedule, bough the doggy treats, picked him up from doggy day care, and gave super detailed reports with cute pics. 10/10 recommend
Michael is the BEST! He takes wonderful care of our 2 shepherd pups. It makes us feel really great to see how happy the dogs get him when he comes over for a walk, I cannot recommend his services and his team any higher! Hes always accommodating to our schedule and provides a ton of photos and details from every walk. I would recommend him to anyone looking for dog walking services in the area.
Michael is literally the best! Our nervous rescue pup is very afraid of men but Michael was so patient with him, took it super slow, and gave him the special attention and time he needed to be comfortable. Now our pup LOVES his walks and gets so excited any time he sees Michael. So grateful for him and cannot recommend him highly enough!!
We have been using DooDog as our dog walker since the beginning of 2024 and have loved the service they provide. The portal is so convenient for booking walks and keeping track of services and communication. They were so accommodating and helpful when we brought our newborn home and needed a lot more walks for a period of time. The owner, Mike, is such a warm and caring individual and both our dogs absolutely adore him.
Uncle Doo and the staff are outstanding! They’re quick to respond to any messages and have flexible availabilities. They take such good care of my puppy. I feel very fortunate to have found them right after I moved to Astoria. It always cheers me up during my work day when I get a report card and cute pictures of my pups visit! Highly recommend!
We are big Michael fans in our household. Kona is always excited to see him and he truly puts his whole heart into taking care of her when they go on their walks. He also chooses staff that are just as dedicated and excellent as he is. Definitely recommend!
Mike and Talia are the absolute best! Mike has walked our bernedoodle since she was 10 weeks old and now at 4 years old she has created such a bond and loves to spend time with her pup friends and human walkers! They always provide the best care, best walks, and always flexible in their schedules to help us out. I always look forward to the daily walk reviews and updates. Couldnt recommend a better dog walking company!
I write this after my dog’s first walk with Michael (Uncle Doo), filled with a feeling of complete satisfaction and elation. Not to be hyperbolic, but Michael is an absolute godsend. Our monster Dottie is anxious around new people and has given many walkers a run for their money with her barks and avoidance. After Michael took the time to spend more than an hour with us over the weekend, learning about Dottie’s behavior and playing with her, he came for his first walk today. She didn’t make it easy, barking for 5-10 minutes while he patiently and gently waited for her to ease up. She felt safe enough to get the leash on, go out for a great walk, and return to treats and belly rubs at home. She is literally smiling in the photos, and I feel so much better knowing that Dottie has someone so aware and confident to walk with her. Today was Day 1 and it will only go up from here! Highly recommend DooDog, especially if your dog needs a little more time or patience. We are so satisfied!!
Michael is awesome! My dog Niko feels very comfortable with him. He comes very highly recommended and I’m glad I chose him to walk my pup.
My two kitties just joined the Uncle Doo crew and I’m really happy with how everything was handled. Michael provides ample communication and photos, I felt I knew exactly what was going on with them the whole time. My cats seemed to really like him too; in the past I would come home after a few days to stressed cats and it would take me a few days to get them back to their usual, playful selves. This time they seemed perfectly happy. I’m glad I made the switch!
Absolute trust in Michael and his company DooDog taking care of my dog! He is reliable and flexible. If you talk to him for just a minute you can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares for his dog crew like they are family. If my dog spots Michael on the street while I’m walking him in the neighborhood he will pull on the leash and even jump on his hind legs in excitement to get to him! If you are looking to have your dog taken care of during the day and want peace of mind, look no further!
I had the pleasure of hiring Michael as my dog walker, and I must say that he exceeded all my expectations. His level of professionalism, care, and genuine love for animals truly sets him apart. I am more than happy to give him a well-deserved five-star review.From the moment I first contacted Michael, it was clear that he was passionate about his work. He promptly responded to my inquiry and took the time to discuss my dogs specific needs and preferences. This attention to detail immediately put me at ease, knowing that my dog would be in capable hands.I could tell that my pup thoroughly enjoyed their time together by the excitement he showed whenever Michael arrived and by his excitement whenever we ran into Michael in the neighborhood.Safety was a top priority for Michael. He took extra precautions, such as using a secure leash, which many local walkers do not do. I appreciated his attentiveness, knowing that my dog was in good hands at all times.Furthermore, Michaels communication skills were exceptional. He consistently provided detailed updates after each walk, including photos and descriptions of their adventures. It was reassuring to see my dogs happy face and learn about the fun they had together.I cannot recommend Michael enough as a dog walker. His professionalism, genuine love for animals, reliability, and exceptional care make him stand out in his field. If youre looking for a trustworthy dog walker who will treat your furry friend like family, Uncle Doo is the one to call!
We are so grateful for Mike for walking our pup, who absolutely adores Mike. We are always confident our pup is safe and well-taken care of on his walks, and we always receive detailed updates of how the walks went and multiple adorable pictures as well, which we love! Plus, whenever we book a walk, we get a speedy confirmation and the prices charged are very reasonable. We seriously could not recommend DooDog enough for any of the services they offer!
I cannot rave enough about how well my dog is taken care of by this team of walkers. Our dog is pretty particular when it comes to people walking into our apartment without us home and they were so patient when it came to the introduction period. The report cards are super helpful and bring me a lot of joy when I’m away during the day. I always know if a walker is coming to take care of our dog, she is going to be in very loving hands! Could not recommend them enough. They are the best!!!
There is no one quite like Michael (Uncle Doo) he has been taking care of my dogs for 4 years and there is no one I trust more with them. He treats them as if they are his own. He really is their uncle. And when he’s not available his team is just as great!!
I reached out to Michael to look after our cat Max when we travel. Since Max is on multiple medications, we needed someone who can pill him on top of regular cat sitting needs. Michael has visited a few times now and we could not be happier with his service and genuine care for our pet. He provides updates for every visit and responds very promptly. I feel so much more at ease when we’re away now knowing Max’s in good hands and gets plenty of scritches.
This is my pups first experience with a dog walker and Michael has been very patient with her. Appreciate the daily updates and photos. Recommend to any pet owners in the neighborhood.
Michael did amazing with my Jessie! 🐕❤️🤗💞 He even gave her extra food on a happy accident because as usual, lol, my Jessie always scarfs down her food hahaha! its her fav. food so shell gladly take more! 🤣❤️💞. He was SO nice to keep her in the shade too on a somewhat cool but still kinda muggy day! My fav. picture of her is the one where she is sun bathing! haha! I already love Uncle Doos crew & I definitely recommend him for a dog walker!! 🤗🤗🐕🐕
I was a very satisfied customer. I never worried about my dog, as I knew she was well taken care of. The only reason I stopped using DooDog is because I relocated. I have an old pointer, and you can see for yourself how happy she was going for a walk with all her friends
We are having an excellent experience with Michael. From our initial meeting I felt comfortable handing him keys and caring for our pup. I really like that his communication and response times are always quick, and he will give you a better idea of exactly what time he will arrive each day. We just started using his services this month, and we will most definitely be continuing. Our dog adores him too, he can’t hide his excitement! I’d highly recommend Michael to my friends and family in Astoria needing an extra hand with their dog.
Highly recommend Uncle Doo! Michael and Luis are amazing. Our dog loves walking with her doggie friends.
The best part of my day is getting the Doo updates after a walk! They write the cutest messages and attach so many pics! I dont stress leaving Hendricks in their care because I know he will be well taken care care and loved❤️ Thank you!
My pup’s favorite day of the week is when Michael comes to walk him. Professional, reliable, and communicative - simply the best!Photos attached are from their walks.
Michael has done so much for my dog to earn her complete trust, which isn’t always easy for her! He prioritizes safety and is always transparent about walks. I would recommend them to everyone in the area!
Benji & i absolutely love Uncle Doo Dog and recommend their services to everyone in our neighborhood. Michael and his staff that have been with Benji (specifically Talia & Luis) are so communicative and supportive. I don’t have to think twice when booking with them. They respect my requests as a dog mom and Benji’s temperament at the moment. He’s sometime socialized with other dogs which is also amazing for him.
Their service is truly great. Uncle Doo would give me all the details in report like what time to what time my dog walked, during the walk what business my dog did and some photos. Uncle Doo would wipe my dog’s feet and changing wate. Uncle Doo would reports all the details. That’s different between other dog walkers and Uncle Doo.
We absolutely love Mike and love howmuch our dog loves him too. Mike genuinely loves and shows affection to our 75 pound crazy mutt. We trust and know our dog is in the best care when he’s with Mike.
Mike and his team have gone above and beyond with their care and consistency. I appreciate that they are always on time and communicate any concerns. They have always taken my last minute requests when work gets busy, even on Saturdays. Cheers🐾💓
I have known Michael, aka Uncle Doo for over 2 years. My dog loves him. Michael goes above and beyond by providing services that further enrich my dogs well-being. Whether its last minute appointment or even spending a little extra time with my dog when needed, he consistently goes the extra mile to ensure my pet feels loved and cared for.I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone in need of a dog walker who truly understands and cherishes these furry members of our families. He embodies the qualities of a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate caregiver, and my dog and I are incredibly fortunate to have found him!
Michael is Astoria’s best dog walker! He is trustworthy, caring, thoughtful, and professional. He writes a humorous summary of the walk in addition to leaving your pup with fresh water and a treat. You can tell he loves dogs and treats every single client like a member of his own family! Highly recommend!
There’s nobody else we’d trust more with our rambunctious puppy than Michael and his team! Everyone at DooDog is communicative, reliable, and truly has the dogs best interests in mind. We’ve seen such progress that our puppy has made through her walks with the crew- pack walks and playtime with the other doggies in the crew have been so great for her socialization. Michael has a keen eye for dog behavior and Is very thoughtful in how he plans out his walks, specifically choosing which dogs to walk together based on their behavior and mannerisms, which gives us a lot of comfort as dog parents. Michael and his team leave extensive recaps of their walks and send us tons of photos (they really know what pet parents want). They’re also very flexible and always do their best to accommodate last minute schedule changes and requests. We highly, highly recommend DooDog!
The face of a pup who loves his dog walker!! We’ve used DooDog for over a year now and are beyond happy with the service. Michael is reliable, communicative, and is always receptive to your dogs needs. It is typically hard for me to trust others with my dog, but I wholeheartedly trust Uncle Doo and his team! :)
Undeniably the best care and service! Mike was wonderful with our dog, and kept us in the loop the entire time. Will definitely patronize this wonderful company again!
Michael and his team are amazing! He was so wonderful walking my foster dog and was very patient with him as he was a bit reactive. I will absolutely be using Michael for all my future foster dogs and for when I have a pup of my own!
We absolutely love DooDog. Michael and his crew are so loving and patient with our dog. They knew exactly how to work with him to make him comfortable when they were starting to get to know each other, and hes such a fan of them!
Absolutely the BEST Dog walkers ever!! Uncle Doo (Mike) has been walking and caring for our dog since she was six months old. Talia is one of the walkers who also walks our dog on a regular basis. Dolly, our dog, loves them both and they care for her so well. I always know she is well taken care of and safe. Plus they make sure she has fun. The entire crew of dogs is great and Dolly has meet some dog friends through her walks. This is by far our #1 choice for care for Dolly always!
DooDog has been a phenomenal resource for us and our dog. Michael is kind, communicative, and great with dogs, able to work with dogs of all sizes and personalities! He is extremely trustworthy and flexible as well. Our dog is so excited whenever she gets a walk, and we know she is well taken care of.
By far best Astoria dog walkers! Seriously, they give better daily reports than my kids daycare - while our cat is not officially part of the Doo Crew, we often get pictures of him included in our daily reports! Each one of the staff we have encountered have made us feel safe and comfortable, have been fun and kind, and clearly LOVE dogs. For great and convenient service, these are your people.
Michael and his crew at doodog has taken Trooper our exuberant chocolate lab on multiple walks and Trooper is always happy. Doo dog runs a professional service that you can rely on and feel good knowing your pup is in safe hands.
When I moved to Astoria this year I was worried about getting a dog walker for my pup who had had the same dog walker for the last 3 years. Thankfully, my pup found an amazing caretaker in Uncle Doo! It’s clear to me each walk he cares about her well being because of his detailed reports and photos. He and his team are upfront and accommodating. Could not have asked for a better dog walking service! 😍
DooDog is simply the best. Michael is more than our dog Walker, he’s family and Sunny’s other favorite human in the world. With busy work schedules we are so lucky and grateful that our Sunny Doo is in such good care.
We are big fans of DooDog! Michael is always reliable and we trust him wholeheartedly with the safety and well being of our dogs Monty and Pippa. We highly recommend him and his team to anyone needing a dog walker in Astoria.
If I could leave 1,000 stars, I would! If youre looking for a dog walker/cat sitter-- definitely set up a time to do a meet and greet with DooDog. Our pup Colin LOVES Michael and his team. I know the love is mutual. DooDog really goes above and beyond and SO trustworthy! Highly recommend, thank you DooDog!
Michael is responsible, passionate, knowledgeable, hard working, reliable, thorough, kind...and a super nice guy to boot! You can rest assured your animals will be in good hands with Uncle Doo! Were so happy we found him!
Michael has been walking my dog, Ruby Tuesday, since she was six months old. Michael, and now Talia as well, are absolutely wonderful with Ruby. I trust them both implicitly with Ruby, and look forward to their reports and photos. I cannot recommend them enough and many of Ruby’s friends are now also part of the crew.
Have had nothing but fantastic experiences with Michael and the gang. They genuinely care about my pup and I always feel great about leaving him in their hands while at work! Always love getting cute pictures and a little report card at the end of the day as well!
We absolutely love DooDog! Michael is phenomenal- our pup Momo absolutely LOVES him. He is so responsive, DooDog provides such phenomenal care to our pup, and we always are so happy with DooDog’s service! Would always recommend!!
We have used DooDogs services several times and Mike is the best! Hes always providing constant and detailed updates on how the walk with our dog has gone and is very responsive to our requests, even the last minute ones.Definitely recommend using their service!
All of the stars for Michael and Talia. Genuine, friendly animal lovers who really make the effort to get to know every pups idiosyncrasies. Always reliable. They have our complete trust, and, more importantly, our mini-poodles trust too.
My dogs reaction to any dog walker is the best test and Mel absolutely loves Uncle Doo
Top notch. The premiere dog walking service based out of Astoria. Super accommodating and flexible with modifications, and last minute adds all while providing exceptional dog walking services. The team at DooDog has my, but more importantly, my Dog’s trust. I have and will continue to recommend DooDog to all my friends.
DooDog is the best! Michael is super flexible and reliable. Our dog genuinely loves Michael and the crew and their adventures around Astoria!
Cannot recommend them enough. I always have peace of mind when I know they’re coming to take care of Goose. We’re so happy to have found them!
Uncle Doo watched our cat during our wedding weekend!! We are so grateful that Keats was in such great hands. Michael texted us updates and sent lots of pictures and videos. It put us at ease! 10000/10
The absolute best and most trustworthy dog walker!!! Unfortunately don’t days in the office got changed, so I wish I could use this service even more, but thank you for the times that I do! Highly recommend !!
Michael and his crew are exemplary in their communication and care for pups. Completely professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend!
Although I have only recently joined with DooDog I can without a doubt confirm that they are the best service Astoria has to offer! My little princess has had one walker her whole life of 4 years until last year when he left the country. Since December, it has been a struggle to find a service or person that is reliable, professional, trustworthy, friendly, and price conscious. Their app is so user friendly and the onboarding process with Michael (Uncle Doo) seamless. He and his crew really care about your fur family and it shows via their updates and attention to detail. Michael is a local Astorian and knows the neighborhood inside and out. He is professional and has a sincere love of dogs and cats (I have two!) and it feels like your best friend is caring for your best friend. The only regret I have is not having signed up sooner. But now having found them, I will never leave.
Mike and the crew are awesome. Definitely trust the fur baby in their hands.
Never used a catsitter previously but needed some help with my cat before my vacation. I contacted multiple facilities with detailed websites and reviews. But none contacted me back at all :( Michael and his team were kind enough to answer pomptly and have ever since welcomed me warmly.After our meet & greet session, Michael has been nothing but amazing & transparent. Easy to use app, prompt updates, detailed session breakdown with great photos 👍 I could not have felt more comfortable in leaving my Mason at Michaels care. Will def request Michael and his teams help if circumstances arise again!
Up until now, I’ve only ever boarded my cat when I’ve gone away. You can imagine that I was nervous about leaving my cat at home, but Michael’s care and daily updates put me at ease right away. He is truly devoted to his line of work and his love for animals. If you’re interested in trying out a cat sitting service - then DooDog by Uncle Doo is the way to go!
The best of the best when it comes to Dog Walking ! Love them!
Very kind and professional dog-walking service. Friendly and wonderful with our dog, always sends lots of pictures and a detailed report for every walk.
Absolutely love Michael----though not as much as my dog does. Excellent dog walking service!
Michael and his team are the absolute best! My dog is very shy/protective at first and Michael really took his time to get her to feel safe with him-and now she loves him :) He is extremely professional and cautious when pairing up dogs for walks. We recommend him to anyone that has a dog!
The best dog walker ever!!! My pup always has such a great time!
Amazing service. Always available and willing to accommodate my schedule. Friendly walkers and my dog loves them!
The best Dog Walker in New York City
We are so happy to have found Michael and become part of the DooDog pack!! Our girl is anxious and doesnt like other dogs, and Michael has been so great with her, following all of our preferences and sending us updates on her solo walks. We were so happy to find him and his business, which he runs very well. He is very professional, timely in responding and sending the walk reports. Couldnt be happier to use him!! & most importantly, it seems our girl loves him and their walks together just as much as we do.
Uncle Doo is the best! He takes such care of my very energetic pit and makes me feel so much better leaving her for work. 10 stars!!
Mike really loves your dogs as much as you do! Every walk ends with pictures and a full report of your dogs little adventure! Truly someone I can trust with my pup Duck!
Has always shown my dog great care and respect!
Great guy & happy pups! What more can you ask for !
Mike and his team have been a great help
10/10 Astorias best dog walking service!
Very reliable. Great communication!
