First time here?
We are Brooklyn's premiere dog walking, pet sitting service -- and we love it! Read what some of our happy clients are saying about us, meet the Team, and see what we can do for you.
While I was pregnant this summer, I joked with clients and walkers about making Hana the July Pet of the Month… which would have been so funny! But then I thought about Hana as a little girl. What if she doesn’t like the joke? What if she doesn’t even like animals? Hard to imagine, I know. But I didn’t want to risk it.
SO, here’s to our first ever All-Time ProspectBArk MOST VALUABLE PLAYER! (raaaah! crowd goes wild!)
Have a great long weekend everyone. Get some extra sleep for me.
We can’t believe it’s been almost three months since Justine van der Leun’s debut memoir, Marcus of Umbria: What an Italian Dog Taught an American Girl about Love, was published. We were lucky enough to catch Justine (and our adorable client, Marcus) for a quick interview. She talked to us about life, love, and being an author – not to mention her wild and crazy adventures in Collelungo, the tiny Italian town of 200 where she met and adopted her beautiful English Pointer. The story she describes here:
According to USA Today, “Van der Leun, a fish out of water struggling to fit into her Italian surroundings, is hilarious. Her relationship with the adorable Marcus is told from the heart.” We couldn’t agree more. Marcus of Umbria: What an Italian Dog Taught an American Girl about Love is available at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, IndieBound, Powell’s, and elsewhere.

Break out the party hat, because this week we turn a CLEAR YEAR OLD! Yep, a whole year. ProspectBArk started with one curly pup in the Slope, and one lone walker in cowboy boots (that’s me!) heading out to make some furry friends each day before class. Now, we have a retinue of over fifty [...]

All our Walkers work hard every day, braving the wind, rain, and a whole host of dog-walking challenges on the mean streets of Brooklyn. However, each month we feature one person who rises above the storm, above and beyond the call of (doggie) duty — above all others. This month, that Walker is Michael, our [...]
I remember bringing you home. You were so big and beautiful with your huge paws and soft fur. It felt like we had been together for many years, yet we had known each other for only a couple of hours. I knew there was something special about you that very day, that we would have [...]
This adorable little pitbull, Walter, was found in Park Slope on Easter Sunday by Alex Darsey. Alex, who lives in the neighborhood, noticed the forlorn pup at 15th Street and Third Avenue. He had an extreme case of mange and was severely malnourished and dehydrated. And that’s not all, the previous owners (who, according to [...]
