We're a Williamsburg service, through and through
We know every park, shortcut, and puddle to avoid — because we've been walking these blocks since 2011. Not a citywide app dispatching whoever's nearest: the same local team, every time.
Our home neighborhood since 2011
Fully Insured & Bonded
Comprehensive pet care liability insurance, fully bonded. Proof shared on request.
Background-Checked Team
We carefully vet every walker before their first visit, because caring for your dog and having access to your home is a responsibility we take seriously.
GPS Tracking on Every Walk
A post-walk route map showing exactly where your dog went and how long they were out. No guessing.
Leash Safety Collar Companion method
We connect our leash to both their collar and harness and use a leash belt for added security. Two points of contact, on every walk.
GPS Tracking
Live route map sent after every walk so you see exactly where they went.
Photo Report
Post-walk update with photos, mood notes, and any observations.
Leash Safety Collar Companion method
Our signature dual collar-and-harness method on every walk.
Direct Communication
Text or call your walker directly — no support tickets, no bots.
Experienced walkers who get to know your dog, dependable care that fits your routine, and an update after every visit.

What our clients say
Try Luis and his team from Not The Rug. Great, locally owned.u/Zealousideal_Door392
Not The Rug!! nottherug.comu/wickrob
Luis and team are truly the best of the best. It's not easy to trust just anyone with our fur baby, but Luis's professionalism and kindness — combined with the GPS tracking — puts even the most nervous pet parent at ease.
They were so awesome with my dog and super patient with me. Daily updates on how the walk went, cute photos, and the price is really nice for a longer walk duration. My dog LOVES Nuria!
We've been with Not The Rug for over two years and couldn't be more grateful. Luis has saved us so many times with our busy schedules. He even helped rehab one of our dogs after surgery — adjusting walks and carrying our guy outside to help him heal. Seriously — hire Not The Rug.
