Will my dog see the same walker every time?

Yes, I'm the walker, Jonah. Your dog will never be handed from one walker to another because consistency, building trust, and developing routine will be ensured.

Do you do individual or group dog walks?

Yes, I provide individual and group walks for dogs. The best choice would be an individual walk for anxious, fearful, senior, and energetic dogs, while group walks are done for dogs who love socialization.

Can you handle reactive and anxious dogs?

Of course, being a certified dog walker with a Fear Free Certification, I am aware of all the stress signals of dogs and can adjust the walk to your dog's comfort.

How long is a typical dog walk?

Walk times depend on the age and activity of your dog, as well as the schedule that you prefer. We will talk about that during the meet and greet.

What if the weather is not ideal?

The wellbeing of your canine is always the top priority. It walks in moderate weather conditions; however, in case of severe weather conditions, I might shorten your dog’s walk or add an indoor playtime, enrichment time, and bathroom break according to your wishes.

Is it necessary for me to be at home during the walk?

No, normally clients are working during my visits. On our first meeting and greeting session, we will discuss everything that is needed, such as how to enter your property, schedule, and more.

What parts of Brooklyn do you cover?

For now, I walk dogs in Kensington, Windsor Terrace, and other adjacent parts of Brooklyn. In case you are not sure whether I can come to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

How can I get started?

Everything starts with a free meet and greet at your house. We will talk about your dog's routine, answer your questions, and decide whether it works for both sides before our first walk.

Why Brooklyn Dog Owners Trust Jonah Friends

Handing someone a key to your apartment is a big deal. And to allow someone to take care of your reactive, nervous, or potentially running-away dog means a lot too. I've been doing this kind of work for more than 10 years in New York, and I treat it accordingly.

I come to you all the time, not an array of substitutes through the app. Such consistency is important, and it works better than one would expect. Your dog develops a bond with a single person, and I get to understand your dog's specifics: the people he can't pass by, the door he tries to run to, how he behaves in case he needs to go out.

Because I am Fear Free Certified, I know how to read the signs of a stressed dog and maintain a walk instead of force it. It's not about the distance walked; it's about bringing your dog back relaxed.

The Same Walker, Every Time

You'll always know who's showing up: me. One familiar face, a set schedule, and a heads-up if anything ever changes. Your dog isn't meeting a stranger at the door every afternoon.

Trusted with Your Home and Your Dog

I've cared for Brooklyn dogs for over a decade, with 30-plus five-star reviews to show for it. I handle keys and building access carefully, follow your instructions to the letter, and treat your home like my own.

Dog-First, Not Just Distance

Fear Free training means I watch your dog, not just the step counter. Reactive, shy, senior, or bouncing off the walls, we walk in a way that works for your specific dog.

Dog Walking Services for Every Dog and Every Schedule

Solo Dog Walks

One-on-one attention on one dog is perfect for a reactive or anxious dog or any pet owner who would like their dog to be alone during walks.

Group Dog Walks

For a well-matched pack of dogs, this is great for social and active dogs who need exercise and some interaction.

Puppy Visits

Frequent visits for a puppy who cannot last very long on the walk and requires potty breaks and play time.

Not every dog requires the same walk; a puppy requires exercise, an older dog requires a relaxed stroll, and a reactive dog requires calm roads and distance from other dogs. Here is what I offer, and we will tailor that for you and your dog.

How to Get Started, Step by Step

Getting set up is simple, and it starts with meeting in person before anyone gets a key.

Free Meet and Greet

We come to your house, you and your dog, and you decide if you like me, and your dog decides if they like me. I learn how you do things: feeding, leashing, and all that. That way, when you book with me, everything will be comfortable for both of us.

Walks on Your Schedule

We lock in your days and times. Same walker, on a schedule your dog can count on. A reliable routine means your dog builds trust with one familiar face, making each visit smoother while giving you confidence that they're in caring, dependable hands.

Weekly Updates

I call you to let you know that your dog had their walk, I took good care of them, and they got back safely. My clients know what my calls mean; they said I was calling them whenever I wanted just to tell them how well I was taking care of their dog.

What Brooklyn Dog Owners Say

"Kind, gentle, reliable"

Jonah is the most kind, gentle, loving, reliable caretaker. He took care of our dog for several years, dog sat in our home, and sent impromptu updates while we were away. We always knew our dog was in the best hands.

"Responsible and Patient

"Friendly and accomodating"

He's kind, patient, responsible and reliable. If you're looking for someone who truly focuses on your dog while walking and training them, instead of just staring at their phone, Jonah is it.

Our pup Ziggy is strong willed and doesn't get along well with other dogs, and Jonah handles her with great care. Responsive, reliable, friendly, and accommodating.

Dog Walking Across Brooklyn

I walk dogs all over Brooklyn, including your neighborhood and streets that your dog is accustomed to. Walking in a location that is near to you will ensure that I am able to reach your dog promptly.

Check Availability

A Real Walker, Not an App Lottery

The big dog-walking apps send whoever's available. That might be a different person every day, someone your reactive dog has never met, standing at your door with your key.

I'm the opposite of that. One person, who meets your dog first, learns your routine, and shows up consistently. One of my clients put it better than I could: they wanted someone who focuses on the dog instead of staring at their phone. That's the whole job, and it's why my clients stay for years.

For a nervous or reactive dog especially, that familiarity is the difference between a stressful walk and a good one. You're not paying for a booking screen. You're paying for someone who knows your dog by name.
