Harvey is a golden retriever who turned twelve this year. He has an extraordinary gift for finding every mud puddle in a ten-mile radius. He has never once said no to a roll in the grass, a dive into a puddle, or a full-body flop in whatever patch of earth looked the most satisfying.
After every walk through Central Park, every romp through Riverside, Harvey would come home absolutely covered. Ears, chest, paws — wearing the most satisfied expression imaginable. And then came the bath. The tiny apartment bathroom. The soaked floors. The shampoo that was never quite right. The towels that would never be the same.
Harvey, doing what Harvey does best.
What if there was a place — a real place, not a hose in a parking lot — where you could wash your dog properly? Professional tubs, organic products, powerful dryers, everything you need in a clean, beautiful space. A place designed for the experience, not just the task.
Harvey's was born. Named after the dog who started it all. Built for every dog owner who has ever stood in a flooded bathroom wondering if there was a better way. There is.
We believe every dog deserves a proper wash — and every owner deserves a space that makes it easy, enjoyable, and worth coming back to.
Harvey's isn't a groomer. We're not a kennel. We're a self-service dog wash built around one idea: give people the tools, the products, and the space to take care of their dog themselves — and make the whole thing feel good.
No rushing. No judgment. No soggy bathroom floors. Just you, your dog, and 45 minutes in a private bay with everything you need.

The Space
Designed for you and your dog.
Walk in and the first thing you notice is that it doesn't feel like a dog wash. Clean lines, warm lighting, a playlist going. There's a jar of treats by the door.
Each bay is private — elevated stainless steel tub, warm water, a shelf stocked with organic shampoo, conditioner, and de-shedding treatment. High-velocity dryer mounted on an adjustable arm. Plush towels. A waterproof apron so you leave dry.
After the wash, there's a finishing station — cologne spritz, a bandana from the rack, one more treat for the road.
Photos coming soon. We're finalizing our Upper West Side location.
The Neighborhood
Right at home on the Upper West Side.
The Upper West Side is one of the most dog-friendly neighborhoods in New York City. Between Central Park and Riverside Park, there are more dogs per block than almost anywhere in Manhattan. It's the perfect home for Harvey's.
We're steps from the park, close to the 72nd Street subway, surrounded by the neighborhood's best coffee shops, restaurants, and dog-friendly spots. The kind of place where washing your dog becomes part of your Saturday morning routine.
Harvey's was built for this neighborhood — for the owners who walk their dogs through the park every morning, who know every dog by name on their block, who want something better than a bathtub.
