Dog Walking Barnum Island

“Kenny and his wife were fantastic with my dog, Reese. It was our first time using a dog walker, and both of them were so helpful throughout. It meant a lot that Kenny took the time to ask about Reese and any special things he needed on the walk, and he always sent a proper report afterward so we were kept in the loop. Reese took to him right away and came home happy. I wouldn't recommend anyone over Kenny, and will continue using him in the future!”

“Our ten year old rather anxious wheaten terrier looked forward to and enjoyed his daily walks with Becky while we were away for a week. Becky is warm and professional, and very good about communicating. I would absolutely call on her again in the future and recommend her to others!”

About: Hi, I’m Francesca. I’ve grown up with all kinds of dogs, from big breeds like Greyhounds and Newfoundlands to smaller ones like Yorkiepoos and Jack Russells. I currently care for some family and friends' dogs, but I’d love to meet and help take care of your furry friends too! I have a flexible hybrid schedule and can work from anywhere. Helping our furry friends is just the icing on the cake. I enjoy it! This is a service I currently do not offer as my residence does not allow for pets of any kind; however, I can certainly come to you!

“Jane was not only wonderful with our dogs, but proved extremely reliable during an extended weekend where we were out of town and all of our discussed plans were disrupted by the unforeseen—storms, road closures, etc. She provided clear and timely communication in dealing with changes, and we quickly felt comfortable trusting her best judgment to both attend to and care for our two dogs.”

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, having owned two dogs from ages 6-20, and I have since gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages and needs. I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, including caring for four cats and two dogs at once, managing litter boxes, wet and dry food routines, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs. One experience especially that sets me apart is caring for a Catahoula Leopard dog who was paralyzed in her hind legs, which involved expressing her bladder and assisting with her mobility alongside caring for another dog in the home. I’m comfortable with puppies as well, having provided drop-in care for a golden retriever at both 3 months and 6 months old, as well as extended dog and house sitting for a 2-year old golden retriever. Across my pet-sitting experience, I’ve provided regular walks, baths, light grooming, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet has their own routine, personality, and level of care, and I’m comfortable providing everything from my everyday companionship to more hands-on care for pets with special needs. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am studying full-time for the MCAT and create my own study schedule each week. I attend MCAT prep classes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I can easily plan my studying around your pet’s needs. This gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet owner to maintain the routine that works best for their pet! I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for many families, and I always treat each home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, safety, feeding, medications, and household needs. My only request is to be shown where basic cleaning supplies are kept (accidents happen, and that’s completely normal!). I want you to come home to a space that is just as clean, if not cleaner, than when you left it, and most importantly, to a pet who has been safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Tatiana was great! This was her first walk with my pup and she was super reliable and helpful. My dog loved her and I hope to continue working with her in the future!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have cared for dogs ranging from pit bulls to yorkies. I love all dogs, any size. I have taken care of dogs that require medication for medical issues like joint issues and epilepsy. Friends have relied on me to care for their animals. whenever they go away. I currently live with 3 dogs, a corgi, a husky, and a maltese. I walk my own dogs 2x a day and play with them every day. I work on weekends so weekdays are dedicated to pet care. I play and walk my pets. I have a backyard so I tend to run around with my dogs everyday. Each of my own dogs requires specific needs so I cater to them. One of my dogs has epilepsy so I must give him medication twice daily and he requires a lot of attention.

About: I've taken care of many pets ever since I was a little girl. Always had pets in the house, dogs, cats, even guinea pigs and a mouse. I also used to volunteer as a kid at my camp to work with the animals in the stables like the goats, bunnies, and brushing the horses. As I got older my love for animals never wavered, so I went to high school and I majored in agricultural sciences and spent my first summer there on our land-lab taking care of not only an arrange of animals, but plants as well. I also volunteered at a pet store near my high school caring for stray animals that were brought in, and at one point a bunch of baby kittens, alongside my best friend. I have always loved dogs and cats most and would love to have them as pets again. My family and I started our pet sitting Journey when we used to live out in Florida, it's been almost 2 years now, since moving back to New York City . We have gotten the chance to sit many furry four legged friends, and now I have two of our own. We would still love the opportunity to continue to caring for other's pets as well. My kids and I used to feed and give love to some of the strays we'd see in our neighborhood, back in Florida( unofficial cat lady lol 😅 ). We cannot wait to care for your furry, four legged family member. Home is well air conditioned, space to accommodate a crate if you have, and will be able to give walks around area, or nearby park. You can rest assured your pet will get lots of love and attention, as my children LOVE animals as much as I do, and jump to the opportunity to assist me with them I'm currently working part-time, so I am usually able to give walks in the morning, and in the evening after 6:00 p.m. However, on my days off, I can give walks at least three times a day. I would be able to work out a schedule that might be accommodating for the both of us. I would prefer to have them dropped off during the evening's, after 7pm. We adopted a Maltese/ Silky terrier mix dog(female), and a Chihuahua/ Terry mix dog (male). I use our bedrooms (mine and the kids) to place them in, to accommodate while the other dog is out. Or, we can use the backyard or crate.

“Seamus is awesome! He continues to take such great care of Brenner. Brenner loves him. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great dog walker and dog sitter.”

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We both have school at the moment, but we have conflicting schedules so either one of us or we both are readily available for boarding, drop-in’s, walks and house sitting! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.

About: My name is Deshaun, a former tv meteorologist, and I love dogs. I am experienced with taking care of dogs through family and friends. Giving animals as much love as possible is my motto. Show them as much love and attention as possible and always be on alert with pets. Never leave peers on their own. Make sure that they are well fed. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have all the time in the world. I will dedicate a lot of time into taking care of my clients I treat my client’s home with top care. I will never bring strangers into their homes, keep everything clean and tidy and avoid rooms that are banned.

About: I have over twenty years dog experience caring for 4 different dogs in my life personally, plus countless other friends and family members dogs who all love me. I work remote, so I can take my laptop anywhere and work from everywhere. Plus my job is full of fellow pet lovers who all understands whenever I had to take my own dogs to the vet for instance. I recently had to put my little buddy down :-( and would love to get to help others take care of their own doggies. In my home I have a fenced in yard. I also love to take dogs on walks and meet other doggies, assuming they’re friendly. As far as meals are concerned, all of my dogs had specialized diets, so food was kept separate and prepared accordingly.
