In 2007, Adrienne Rivera and her beloved dog, Rocky, moved to West Harlem. As a professional nanny, she was working long hours and needed someone she could trust to take care of Rocky. Unable to find anyone, she made a promise to provide safe and dependable dog walking services and pet care. She wanted the best, not just for Rocky, but for the entire neighborhood’s companion animals.

Cut to present day: Harlem’s Happy Hounds has expanded its clientele and service area. Now serving all of upper Manhattan and the Upper West Side, Adrienne and her team provide fun and exercise for pets, and peace of mind for their owners.

Harlem’s Happy Hounds is a fully insured and bonded business that has become part of the family for many well-loved uptown dogs. It is a woman owned and operated business that focuses on providing personalized, professional care for your pet.

By entrusting the most precious member(s) of your family to HHH, you can be assured that:

• Your dog will spend time with professional walkers. At HHH, training is a five-week intensive program that ensures that every walker understands the techniques, temperaments, and health and safety requirements that are essential to being a professional dog walker.

• Your dog will be safe and comfortable. She/he will never be pack walked. Due to our concern with safety, no walker will ever be with more than 3 dogs at a time. Your dog will never run loose, nor sit tied to a fence while other dogs are picked up.

• Your dog will always work with a true animal lover, and enjoy genuine caring and affection (free of charge!).
