Dog Walking Bensonhurst

About: When I was a child my family owned and cared for dogs, horses, bunnies, and chickens which meant I became an animal caretaker at a very young age. In addition to helping to feed, groom, and clean up after our pets, I was aIso responsible for administering our dog’s daily diabetes insulin. My childhood prepared me well for becoming a dog mom to a longhaired dapple Dachshund in early 2021. I cannot imagine my life without him and cannot wait for your furbaby to become his furbuddy! I'm also the proud owner of Boogs & Boop, a small business specializing in pet accessories, with a portion of proceeds donated to supporting animal shelters and dogs in need. This commitment reflects my deep passion for caring for dogs and their well being. I work full time from home, so Dog Mom is my 24/7 job title. I am conveniently located near a park so go on at least two walks a day, weather permitting. DAYCARE CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: 1. Daycare refers to drop off between 8-9am and 5-6pm, a 8-hour period. 2. Pick-up and drop-off times for Daycare must be scheduled in advance through direct message. 2. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes will be charged an additional $5 per 30 minutes that you are late. Late arrivals risk interfering with other appointments, so this fee helps to accommodate that change. 3. Drop offs before 8am are subject to an Early Drop-off Fee of $10 per hour. 4. Pick up after 6pm are subject to a Late Pick-up Fee of $10 per hour. 5. Pick up after 9pm is considered boarding which is subject to double my Daycare rate. HOUSE-SITTING CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: During house sits, I typically continue my normal schedule with other pet care clients (walks, drop-ins, etc.), so I may be out of the home for portions of the day. If your pet requires near-constant or 24/7 care, please let me know in advance. I may be able to accommodate, but this would require adjustments for my own dog and existing clients and may involve an additional fee. I care for pets in my home since I also have my furbaby to attend to. This means there’s always healthy treats, pee pads, dog wipes, and pet first aid products on hand. I understand that being away from your furbaby can be nerve-wracking, but you can rest assured that I will provide clear communication and photo updates when your pet is in my care. I do not have an attached yard, but the park is a hop, skip, and a jump away, so it’s easy to take potty breaks whenever necessary. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Please arrive with your pet on a leash. I am a strong advocate for pet safety and leash laws. 2. Due to Covid-19 precautions, I do not allow guests into my home, but would be happy to meet you downstairs at drop-off and pick-up times. 3. I will ALWAYS send photos throughout the appointment, even if not directly requested. INCLEMENT WEATHER DISCLAIMER: I take all weather advisories seriously. When the heat index is above 90°F degrees or windchill is below 20°F walks will be cut short for your pet's safety and for my own. Walks will consist of “doing their business” then returning indoors. Regular service is maintained in the rain, but will be postponed due to thunder, lightning, or blizzards. Walks may be early or delayed depending on the forecast. I will always communicate with dog owners if a change of plan is necessary due to dangerous weather and temperatures. Thank you for your understanding.

About: I have formally worked at a dog boarding kennel for 3 years where I handle up to 30 dogs in a yard at a time, making sure they all get along and receive ample amounts of love! Through my job I have gained lots of experience with reading dog behavior/body language as well as making sure all their mental and physical needs are met. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes and feel comfortable taking care of almost any dog I meet. I held responsibilities in caring for my 2 family dogs growing up. Since then I've also looked after neighbors and friends dogs numerous times, taking care of things like potty breaks, baths, meal times, and daily medications. Im currently an interning at Maggy London 3 days a week (Tues, Wed, Thurs) from 9-6pm. However, I am available any other time of the day or week. Unfortunately I am living in student housing that does not allow pets in the building. However there are plenty of nearby parks within 5-10 minutes walking distance from my apartment.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I have experience of working with dogs of any age: little puppies to senior dogs. I enjoy taking care of animals and bringing them joy during walks and play dates. I am currently a on my last year of high school and due to that I have lots of free time. I am usually home by 12pm and have rest of the day to take care of pets. Except Saturdays since I work once a week. I have a doggy park 10 minutes away from my house where other dogs can become a company for a pet. If dog is not allowed/does not like being in contact with other animals the rest of the park can become a great place for walks and play dates.

“She is very good with my dogs and made them feel very comfortable, she is a woman of her word and will definitely be booking again”

Latrell R.

“Angela did a great job! She was very kind and easy to communicate with. The walk went smoothly, and everything was handled well. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to book again.”

About: Hi! I'm Janis—a current college student on a gap semester, excited to meet your pet(s)! I’ve been caring for all kinds of animals since I was young—dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish—you name it! Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs— from energetic puppies to senior dogs, as well as large breeds like Pit Bulls, Samoyeds, and Labradors. I am open to making exceptions for some large breeds depending on their behavior and after a meet-and-greet. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I gained experience walking and handling anxious dogs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant has given me strong familiarity with handling medications, special diets, and injury care. I’m highly attentive, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure your pet’s safety and well-being. I’m very responsive and make sure pet parents always feel connected by sending frequent photo and video updates. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and bond with them through the activities they enjoy most. I’m currently on a gap semester, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to spend most of the day with them, with exceptions for errands, but they will never be left alone, as I live with family. I provide at least 2–3 walks or potty breaks per day, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s needs and routine. I also accept last-minute bookings whenever possible! I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication at all times. I’m primarily based in Brooklyn, where I live in a house with a fenced front yard and provide most of my pet care services. I also occasionally stay at a second home in Pasadena, Maryland with a large fenced backyard and offer care locally there when I’m in the area. I do not transport pets between locations– services are always provided in one consistent environment to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety. During walks, I take a cautious approach by starting in quieter areas with minimal traffic to help pets feel secure, especially in new environments. I always pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I live with my family, so pets will never be left alone if I had to run out, and I always communicate this clearly with owners ahead of time. I currently don’t have other pets in my Brooklyn home aside from fish, which allows me to give your pet my full attention. I can also follow instructions like crating or separating pets if needed.

“Kadeisha has been our dog walker for a couple of months and she has been great with our girl, Fairy. She is very reliable. I highly recommend Kadeisha.”

About: The amount of times i’ve offered to take care of my family’s pets just to spend time with them.. i absolutely adore taking time out of my day to get a boost of dopamine by spending time with our fur babies! I’ve taken my neighbors dog out on walks for 2 years now and i will never get tired of it! Our walks consist of taking her to the dog park, potty breaks and lots of treats love and attention. I am a huge dog and cat lover, i’ve had a mission to spend time with as many dogs and cats until i run out of love(never) please consider me to be apart of your fur babies life 🫶🏼🥹 I am currently working four days at a hair salon, but I’m available on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays where I can drop in during the day or any times to spend time with your fur babies. Having 3 cats i know how messy and hairy it can get! I usually come and tidy up around the house to give both you and your fur baby a clean, litter, fur free home. I tend to the litter box and wash food bowls, I’m also a huge treat person and i love giving so much love and affection, Play time is huge part of my visits not just drop in and outs, i think giving our fur babies some fun and active play time makes their whole day and it makes me super happy to be apart of their day! i also never leave without having a little fun haha

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 15 years & currently have four of my own. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, & routines, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work weekdays and am available after work, with more flexibility on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays . I’ll always provide updates and reliable care. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow all care instructions, keep routines consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“Alex was great with my male Bernese Mountain Dog weighing 130 pounds. He handled my dog confidently and calmly, which is especially important given his size. We live in a densely populated area, and Alex did an excellent job managing walks safely and responsibly around people and distractions. I felt very comfortable trusting him with my dog and would absolutely recommend him to anyone with a large breed.”
