Dog Walking In Battery Park

About: I offer a boutique, limited-client approach to pet care focused on attention, consistency, and trust. I intentionally keep my client list small so each pet receives individualized care and a calm, safe experience. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I pay close attention to each animal’s comfort, behavior, and routine. I’m comfortable supporting puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, patience, medication support, or extra attentiveness. What sets me apart is a combination of hands-on animal care, strong communication, and a thoughtful, observant approach. I hold a Master’s degree in psychology, which informs how I read behavior, respond calmly, and build trust with both animals and people. I’m also a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to offer attentive, personalized care. I love photographing pets and people, and I enjoy sharing thoughtful photo updates during walks or stays so owners feel connected and reassured. I provide dog walking, pet sitting, and overnights with safety, reliability, and clear communication as priorities. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine alongside my work as a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop ins, and overnight care. I intentionally keep a limited client list so I can provide dependable, personalized attention and maintain consistency for the pets in my care. I am available for weekday, evening, and weekend care, including holiday bookings. I prioritize safety, consistency, and a calm environment while respecting each pet’s routine and comfort level. In a client’s home, I follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, keep doors and leashes secure, and pay close attention to behavior and wellbeing. I maintain a clean, low stress environment, provide thoughtful supervision, and communicate clearly with photo updates and check ins so owners feel informed and reassured.

“Sophia was amazing with Loxi while I was away. She would come greet her every night and play with her as she got her ready for her walk. My doggie who is normally pretty sad when I am away was playful and happy the whole time in large part due to Sophia!!! :) From the meet and greet to the end of my vacation, Sophia put in so much care, attention and love into caring for my doggy I cannot express how much I appreciate it and and so grateful so her to have been cared for so well while I was away. I would definitely have Sophia walk my doggy again anytime!!”

“Kirsi was great with Tasha. She bonded quickly with my shy dog and got the couch potato to do long walks even in the rain. In addition, she was lovely to deal with in every way.”

“Britni has been a very caring, responsible and reliable person. She's proactive and communicative, and most importantly, she's very loving towards my dog Spike. He looks forward to his walks with her in the mornings. Highly recommend Britni to entrust her care of your furry babies.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by a variety of pets, including our family dogs, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and a neighborhood cat named George. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of babysitting dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens for friends and family. I’m excited to connect with fellow pet owners in the city and rekindle my love for caring for animals, something I’ve truly missed in my life. I am fully remote working from home Monday through Friday. I am usually pretty flexible depending on the request and typically stay in the city most weekends. I fully respect my clients' space, recognizing that I am a guest in their home, and will make sure to leave everything exactly as I found it. I'm a highly organized person and will only carry out tasks as requested or permitted based on the pet care needed. Of course, I’ll always make sure to spend extra time showering the cat or dog with love and earning their trust. :)

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve primarily cared for cats for years, for friends, neighbors, and repeat households, so I truly understand feline behavior and personalities. (I also have a fur baby of my own) I’m very comfortable with daily litter maintenance, feeding routines (including special diets), administering basic medications, brushing, bathing when needed, nail trims, and, most importantly, giving cats the type of attention they prefer — whether that’s active play, quiet companionship, or respectful space. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and know how to build trust at their pace. I’ve also cared for senior cats who need gentler handling and closer monitoring. I pay attention to subtle behavior changes (which is especially important with cats) and always keep owners updated. While I’ve walked dogs as well, my strength is creating a calm, clean, loving environment where cats feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work remotely part time so I have plenty of time during the day and evenings. I am flexible as long as I have some notice if I need to stop by during the day/evenings/weekend. I prefer taking care of animals where they are comfortable (clients home), I live in an apartment with my cat where I keep the environment calm and clean.

“Amber was great with Yogi during his walk! She shared cute photos and kept me updated. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always been a big animal lover! I moved to NYC and do not have any pets but back home I have a Great Pyrenees and a Husky. I have experience with dogs of a variety of different ages and sizes. Happy to take your pets on walks, to the park, as well as pet sitting! My schedule includes working in the office Monday through Friday, making my home a great fit for pups who are accustomed to being alone during the workday. I live in a studio apartment across the street from a dog friendly park! I can meet your dog’s exercise needs whether it’s going on walks or to the dog park.

“Minako was very easy to communicate with and responsive. She sent me a photo and a little report card of each walk (when it started when it ended, how many times my dog went to the bathroom)!”

Wenli C.

“She is great with dogs! My wife was a witness of Tobi behaving great while walking with Brie as opposed to how he pulls and barks all the time when he walks with us. She was really accomodating when I contacted on the last minute because our usual walker got sick. 100% recomendable and depenable!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, and feed their pets for years. I had my own dog for 15 wonderful years, so I understand just how much love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pup as if they were my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full-time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pup needs long walks, playtime, or just some company while you’re at work, I’ve got you covered! I live in a safe, spacious apartment right next to beautiful parks and water, perfect for walks and outdoor time. My home is dog-friendly and calm, and I’ll always keep your pet’s comfort and safety as my top priority.
