Trusted by pet parents who expect exceptional care.

I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Dorian Xerri as a dog walker. After experiencing his services firsthand with our beloved Lucy, I can confidently say that Dorian is the only dog walker we trust completely.

Dorian’s reliability is unmatched. He consistently shows up on time and follows through on every commitment he makes. Beyond his dependability for scheduled walks, Dorian has proven himself invaluable during emergencies, always making himself available when we need him most. This level of dedication and flexibility provides tremendous peace of mind.

What truly sets Dorian apart is his natural ability with dogs. He doesn’t just walk them — he connects with them. Lucy took to him immediately, and their bond has only strengthened over time. Dorian has an intuitive understanding of canine behavior and needs that can only be described as that of a “dog whisperer.” He reads their signals, responds to their moods, and genuinely becomes their friend.

His friendly demeanor extends to both pets and their owners. Communication is always clear, professional, and warm. We feel completely confident leaving Lucy in his care, which is not something we say lightly.

Without reservation, I give Dorian Xerri my strongest endorsement. Any dog would be fortunate to have him as their walker, and any owner would be lucky to have such a trustworthy professional caring for their pet.

I am very happy to write this letter of reference for Dorian, my dog walker, who has taken exceptional care of my King Charles Cavalier while walking her throughout Manhattan, including Central Park and busy city sidewalks.

My dog Lola mostly lives in Florida and is only a part-time New Yorker. She is also very small for her breed and especially vulnerable to cold weather, and during the recent freezing temperatures — often as low as 5°F — Dorian has been consistently attentive, thoughtful, and cautious.

He is extremely mindful of her comfort and safety, adjusting walks as needed, watching her closely for signs of discomfort, and always prioritizing her well-being over distance or speed.

Walking a small dog in New York City during winter requires patience, awareness, and genuine care, and Dorian brings all of that and more. He is reliable, calm, and clearly loves animals. I trust him completely with my dog, even in challenging weather and high-traffic environments.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dorian to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dependable dog walker. Any pet in his care is truly in good hands.
