Welcome to LuvK9 Hoboken

Our Mission

To improve the dog’s quality of life. We teach our clients on how to have their pup(s) live in a highly dense and populated city. By utilizing our system of structure, exercise and affection (S.E.A). With structure we educate our clients on how to properly lead their pups and guide them. We incorporate exercise to stimulate their body and mind. Combine affection and our clients are able to enjoy everyday activities such as family gatherings, sporting events or outings. Our goal is to share this knowledge so that we can bring out the best version of your pup(s).

About Us

Basic

We started in the winter of 2019 to change the approach of dog care in Hoboken, New Jersey. Luv K9 does not discriminate based off of behaviors, age or breed. As long as the parent(s) are open minded and willing to put in the work. We are proud Hobokenites who live and work here. We are very passionate about giving back, since 2020 we have donated over $4000 worth of dog kibble, products, etc. to various dog shelters and rescues. Luis and Nyomie Perez also received a proclamation from Mayor Ravi Bhalla of Hoboken, New Jersey. It was for improving the welfare of the town by voluntarily picking up over 900 bags of dog stool over a weekend. We also have 3 pups of our own. Sadie (hound mix) was a rescue from Berkley Heights she was adopted in May 2020. Stevie (English cream golden retriever) was a surrender due to bite history. We adopted her in January 2021. Sergeant (Shepard/Belgian mix) was abandoned and neglected by his previous owners. We took him in February 2022. They are also the faces of our LUV K9 Logo.

What Our Friends Are Saying

"Luis, Nyomie and the entire team are incredible with our dogs!! One of our pups is very stubborn and stand offish... they worked with him slowly and consistently and now he loses his little mind with excitement when they come over. Any new staff had also been trained and briefed on how to effectively walk my my guy prior to solo pick ups. They're also just super cool folks with good hearts and always down to be helpful in anyway they can. Highly recommend... wish I could give 10 stars!"

"It's not possible to put into words how amazing the LUVK9 team is to us and our beloved baby, Mia, but we'll try. The bottom line is that the LUVK9 team couldn't be made up of better people and the care and love they give to Mia (and all the dogs they care for) are unmatched, as far as we can see. As for the team: We met Luis when we rescued Mia in August 2018 and we instantly were impressed by his dedication, passion, and patience for us and our new puppy. Luis took care of Mia almost everyday while we were at work, and we never had to worry that she wasn't in the best hands. He went out of his way to introduce us to new techniques and new gear selected specifically to help Mia become a better walker and listener. When Luis founded LUVK9 (then Luv on a Harness) a few months later, we knew we wanted him to continue taking care of Mia, and we're so glad that he did. We met Nyomie, Luis's better half, who meets Luis's compassion and dedication -- a feat that, if you ever have had the pleasure of meeting Luis, is hard to do. We then were lucky to meet JR, Nyomie's brother, who is equally kind and patient. The team continues to grow (shoutout to Javier) and so does the love and care that LUVK9 gives Mia. That's attributable to the caliber of person who LUVK9 brings into the family. And we know we're not alone in feeling this way about LUVK9 - - anytime we've met with other pup parents, they, too, rave about LUVK9. We're not surprised. We trust these guys with our "first born" and can't imagine not having them in our lives. As for their service, it's obvious to anyone who sees them that they love what they do and go about it professionally. We have seen way too many walkers dragging dogs behind them or treating the dogs like an afterthought while they're busy texting on their phones. Not with LUVK9. They not only are professional and focused (you have to see their structured pack walks), but they are dependable and have bent over backwards for us on several occasions. That's why we - - and countless others --have stuck with LUVK9 ever since our first interaction: they are simply the best."

We've been with the Luv K9 team for roughly two years now and there is no one we trust more with our little guy Thomas. This team is special - on top of giving your dog a great social pack walk, they take amazing photos and on occasion host impromptu dog-parties! The team genuinely cares for your pup and they are just all-around good people. As long as we're in Hoboken Thomas will be on team Luv K9.

We have been using LUV K9 for about a year now. They have been so accommodating from the start giving us training tips for our pup and adapting their schedule to meet our needs. Our pup Remy LUVS the Luv K9 team and always shows so much excitement when one of the members pick him up for his walks!!

"Luv K9 has changed our lives! Our first rescue dog was having issues being aggressive towards other dogs. Luis and Nyomie trained Pancho and had him walking in a pack in no time. They also worked with us on how to train and walk him on our own. Now Pancho is super excited to walk with his friends everyday, he is showing tremendous improvement with his aggression and he is non stop tail wags whenever anyone from the team comes to take him out. Luis and Nyomie also helped us welcome our 2nd rescue dog, Pickles. Without them, the transition with Pancho and into our home would've never went as smoothly. And now Pickles is part of the pack too. I can't express enough how knowledgeable, kind, patient, accommodating, and trustworthy this team is. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

Luv K9 is phenomenal. They treat every dog as if it were their own. Our puppy's face lights up when she sees any member of their team! The Luv K9 team goes the extra mile to help us with our needs. They are so understanding and willing to help in every situation. They administered eye drops to our puppy better than we ever could. Luv K9 has an app that makes scheduling and communicating a breeze. The team is constantly in touch with us throughout the day sending us pictures & videos of all the fun the dogs are having at daycare. It eases our mind knowing our puppy is getting her fulfillment of social skills and exercise daily. Luv K9 has helped train our dog to continue the repetition required to build a calm and well mannered dog. We couldn't do it without them and are so thankful for them! We Luv K9!

We've been using Luv K9 since 2020 (back when it was just Luis and Nyomie). Both of our pups, Elphie and Mochi, LUV them so much that they happily leave with them to go on walks even when we're home. The Luv K9 team has expanded since then, but their dedication and luv for every pup they walk hasn't changed. They're always super responsive, flexible, and adapt to every pup's needs. Mochi is a rescue, and they've really helped him come out of his shell over the past few years. We trust the team with our pups and it's comforting to know that they're having a great time even when we're away. From getting the pups cooling vests so they can safely walk during the summer to throwing the pups birthday celebrations to giving us training tips, the Luv K9 team goes above and beyond.

"We love Luv K9! Luis and team are amazing with our dog and treats us all like family. Our dog, Ebi, has been part of Luv K9 since he was a puppy. As Ebi has grown up, they have helped us with all the stages of raising a puppy- including learning manners, how to walk nicely on leash, food to help with sensitive stomach issues, and general behavior questions. Luis taught us all how to walk, which is extremely important when your dog is 115 pounds!"

"We are so happy we found luv k9 over a year ago. Luis, Nyomie, JR, Carlos and Javier treat our pup Daisy like she's their own. I never worry about Daisy when she's in their care and I know she's having the best day with Luis's team and the other dogs. We get lots of pictures and updates during the day that make me smile. We use luv k9 for daycare, walks and boarding and we couldn't be happier. It's reassuring to know I can depend on Luis's team when we need help."

We have been using Luv K9 for over a year now and they have been instrumental in our sweet girl Snow's development! From the beginning, Luis took his time to understand Snow and her hesitation towards other dogs. She was never able to walk with any other dog in the past but fast forward a year later and she is happily walking with multiple dogs a day! Luis and Nyomie are very responsive and always quick to help us out last minute when we really need them. Snow has stayed over their house for multiple nights in a row and we know she is in safe and caring hands. Snow's always excited when they arrive and looks forward to her daily walks! LUV K9 is the best!!

"Words can’t even describe how lucky my wife and I were to come across Luv K9 almost 3 years ago when we were training our mini bernedoodle (Loki) and needed a daily routine of pack walks! Luis, Nyomie , JR and the whole Luv K9 crew were instrumental in the development of our dogs behavior when he walks, socializes & plays! Loki would look forward to his daily walks as he grew to love his companions that he walked with as well as the K9 crew who he would hug as soon as they came in the door! (My dogs a hugger) Not only did they help train and walk Loki, they also are phenomenal for boarding as they care for your dog as one of theirs , and keep your dog at their home with their family pups as well as give plenty of updates and pictures during their stay! They are very communicative about their walks, their schedule, and extremely observant about your dog and their behavior. Luis and Nyomie have given us so many tips we still use when walking and socializing Loki and they would continuously update you on your dogs progress if you were working on improving their behavior! I am extremely thankful that Luv K9 helped mold Loki into the wonderful pup he is today, and we’d still be using them daily if we didn’t have to move away! In fact we became so close that we still bring Loki up to visit when we’re back in Hoboken , and he gets excited to see his Luv K9 friends who we consider family! This is the best dog walking business in Hoboken and I dare say NJ, and we still keep in touch all the way from Middletown NJ! You cannot find a more caring and loving group to help walk & care for you dog!"
