Our Story

Hounds on the Hudson was founded by Jen Pursley. After six years of working as a veterinary technician and professional dog-walker in Washington, DC, Jen relocated to Albany, New York.

During many long walks along the Hudson River and romps through Washington Park with her own two dogs, she met countless folks and their pooches who insisted she continue her pet care services in Albany.

Considering being outdoors and hanging out with dogs are two of Jen’s favorite things, this made sense. And so Hounds on the Hudson was born. Since its inception, we’ve been commited to bringing the best possible care for you and your animals at affordable prices.

    "We left our little guy Chewie alone for the first time for a weekend and had Kelly come by and walk him. She not only walked him in the rain all weekend, she took the time to play fetch with him (which is not an easy task) and she cuddled with him. He just loved the attention. She left us notes to let us know how he did and all the fun things they did which helped this mom feel better about leaving him alone. We were so happy that we didn't have to worry about him. We are definitely going to use them in the future!"

    "We have been employing the services of Hounds on the Hudson for nearly 3 years now and we couldn't be happier! Jen and Mike run an unbelievably professional company -- they are consistent, reliable and they love our puppy, Joba (and he can be a handful!) Every dogwalker that has ever walked Joba is great! Currently, Dylan is our dogwalker and we trust him implicitly - and Joba LOVES him...I can't say enough good things about them. We truly feel blessed to have found them as it's such peace of mind to know our "baby" is well taken care of. "
