Julia is a dog owner herself, and has repeatedly bent over backwards to ensure her dog has the care it needs. Whether that’s making inconvenient trips home during breaks on long work days, or understanding that she won’t be able to provide her dog with the care and stimulation it needs on that day and taking him to doggy day care. She is very realistic about her schedule and the care it takes to raise a healthy and happy pup, and is willing to make sacrifices to ensure her dog remains healthy and happy.

Victoria is awesome with my dog Toby! He loves the extra (and long!) walks he gets with her. She’s great about sending lots of picture updates and setting up Toby’s meals which require some extra steps since he’s a picky eater.

About: I’ve been a dog lover forever! I started taking neighbours dogs for walks when I was 10 and then we got a family dog in our home. Although being a family dog, she was mostly my responsibility with walking, feeding and bathing. We have more recently gotten a younger puppy which I also took lead responsibility in his first year. I have continued to dog sit for friends and family. I moved to New York from England a year ago and miss my dogs dearly and would love some dog love here in the city! Since moving here I’ve had many happy clients both one offs and regulars. I just want you dog to be well looked after and loved. I work a part time job with flexibility. I work usually just on the weekend. This leaves me with availability in the weekdays I am not working and potentially before or after work on the days I am. . I am happy to care for pets outside of my home since I am subletting. I am very safe and attentive to dogs and will be aware of their needs at all times. I will talk/message the owner to go over any specifics or concerns I may need to know about the dog in order to ensure their safety.

Kaitlyn was so amazing with my kitties!! I would consider myself a fairly concerned pet parent and I always worry about my babies when I’m away, but Kaitlyn made me feel soo much better. She is extremely kind and conscientious and gives very detailed notes and photos! It is clear that she is very thoughtful in her visits and a true animal lover! Thank you!!

About: I have had pets since I was little and have helped raise them. This sparked my interest in pet care. I love to help out other fellow animal lovers with their pets.

I able to catch on quick to what your animal needs, and will be there to help you as an animal parent.
