Are You The Best Dog Walker in New York City?
Walking a dog can be fun, but did you know it can be a business? In New York it is and the more dogs you walk whilst keeping them happy can deliver big rewards. Live the life of a New York Dog Walker and see if your love of dogs can be a business too.
Bark Avenue is a competitive route optimization pick-up and deliver game centred around a day in the life of a dog walker in upper Manhattan. Players balance walking several dogs at once with competing needs – including walk length, preferred activities, bathroom breaks, and compatibility with your other dogs.
As you progress in your dog walking career, your good ratings will unlock new abilities, such as walking more dogs simultaneously, going off leash at the dog park, and taking more end-of-turn actions, including pickups and activities like visiting pet shops. Be wary of returning dogs late, because you could lose out on most the pay!
