Upper West Side's Favorite Dog Grooming & Daycare — Right on W 80th Street
Professional Grooming, Daycare, Boarding, Walking & Mobile Grooming for Dogs & Cats in Manhattan
Why the Upper West Side Chooses Rapawzel
The Upper West Side has long been one of Manhattan’s most dog-friendly neighborhoods — from the leash-free hours in Central Park’s dog runs to afternoon strolls along the Hudson River esplanade in Riverside Park. We know this community because we live and work in it. At our brand-new W 80th Street location, we’ve built a space that reflects the warmth, care, and high standards that UWS families expect. Your pet isn’t just a client here — they’re part of our family.
From breed-specific cuts and hand-scissoring to de-shedding treatments, blueberry facials, and pawdicures, every groom at our W 80th Street salon is customized to your dog's coat type, temperament, and needs. We handle everything from toy breeds to large dogs over 45 lbs, as well as cats. No two pets are alike — and neither is any groom we do.
Upper West Side dogs are social by nature — and so are we. Our daycare program keeps your pup engaged, exercised, and happy throughout the day with supervised group play, rest time, and enrichment activities. Perfect for busy mornings when you're heading to Lincoln Center, the office, or anywhere in between. Doggy biscuits and belly rubs are always included — no extra charge.
Traveling for work or heading out of town? Our boarding services give you genuine peace of mind. We maintain small group sizes, stick to familiar routines, and make sure every pet gets the individual attention they need — not just a kennel number. Your dog will be happy; you'll have one less thing to worry about.
We offer professional dog walking throughout the neighborhood — from West End Avenue to Riverside Drive, and all the beautiful tree-lined blocks in between. Our walkers are experienced, reliable, and genuinely love what they do. Regular walk updates and GPS tracking keep you in the loop every step of the way.
