About: I've had 4 fish, 4 cats and I used to work in a doggie daycare. I currently work as a professional dog walker in one of the many Manhattan based companies! I also use Wag and have dog sitting experience, as well as experience with reactive, aggressive and anxious dogs. I work 9am to 1pm Monday to Friday and are free all day on weekends. I have open availability any time beyond that timeframe but I don't work at night. I do overnight stays though. I make sure all doors are locked, all pets are given fresh water and feed daily, with washed pet bowls, crated if need be, that every strap on a leash collar or harness is secure before leaving the apartment, and I also have heavy duty leashes for pullers, reactive or large dogs and water bowls. I also make sure that anything dangerous like medications or human food are out of the reach of a soft.

About: Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me!

Jen Hsuan L.
“Since we have four very social cats, an in-home sitter is a must for us when we're out of the country. We were so glad Jen-Hsuan, being a true cat enthusiast, could step in. She showed so much patience, allowing our cats to get comfortable with her at their own pace and actively working to connect with them. Every day we were away, Jennifer sent us on-time messages and photos, and it was clear our cats were incredibly happy with her. Returning home to find all our cats just as content and healthy, and our house perfectly tidy, was wonderful. A huge thank you to Jen-Hsuan for all her help, she made our time away completely stress-free!”
