“I'm so lucky to have Kamber as Bernie's dog walker! She's always on time and reliable, and she leaves my house neat and tidy. Bernie adores spending time with her and loves when her daughter comes along for extra playtime. Kamber is fantastic at taking care of Bernie. She's super careful and always looks for potential dangers, like other dogs or cars. Plus, she's been helping me train Bernie to be more comfortable around other pups when we're out for walks. I can't say enough good things about Kamber's communication skills. She's excellent at keeping me updated on everything with Bernie and is always on top of scheduling our appointments. I trust her completely and am happy to have her as our dog walker!”

About: I’ve owned a dog for 14 years and also helped raise a puppy. Not only am I great at dog training, I’ve also handled all types of dogs including those with anxiety or aggression. I am currently working from home, so my schedule is flexible. I prefer times after 12 pm, but can adjust for earlier times if scheduled ahead of time. I am very attentive to a dogs needs. In addition to meals and going potty, I also play all day with the dogs. I regularly tidy up after any mess made.
“Super. Thanks. Just so you know, my mother passed away yesterday at 92. Sharp till the end, but just had a body that couldn’t keep up. No need to be sorry but you should get a copy of my book and read the chapter on her. I can leave you a copy tomorrow in the front hall. If you’re interested, she was a titan in my life.”
About: With over five years of experience caring for cats, I have a deep understanding of their nature and how to interact with them. I respect their need for personal space and am skilled at quickly recognizing their preferences. When they need me, I provide whatever care I can, whether it’s petting, playing, feeding, or offering attention. I get along well with my friends’ dogs, and they trust me enough to leave them in my care—even for overnight stays. I always follow their instructions carefully to ensure the dogs receive the care they need. I am a freelancer and work from home most of the time, which gives me a very flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention to pets. For cats, I make sure to brush them daily, feed them, and spend time playing with them. I will give all of my love to every kitty!!! For dogs, since I live just five minutes from Central Park in New York, I can take them for runs in the park and let them socialize with other dogs at the dog park. I live in a one-room apartment with my husband, Michael, who also loves animals—and animals love him too! Although we don’t have a yard, there is a platform by the window where small pets can bask in the sun. I also occasionally place a bird feeder on the terrace, so they can enjoy some bird-watching! Our home is kept impeccably clean and is on the fourth floor. Pets are free to roam and play around the house as they please. The windows and doors are always kept closed, so please don’t worry about them escaping outside. If a pet needs to stay at my home, I can host one to two cats or one dog at a time.
About: I grew up with both 2 dogs and a slew of barn cats in my home. Since graduating from college, I have taken care of coworkers and roommates dogs and cats during their vacations and work trips. I love working with all kinds of animals and am always excited to meet a new furry friend! I am working 20 hrs a week and can choose my own hours which gives me a lot of opportunities to meet clients scheduling needs. I can easily move my work schedule around to accommodate clients. I start by having an open conversation with clients about their pets specific needs. I love to play with any pets and will make sure I am aware of their needs throughout the day.
“Great experience! Able to walk my dog in a last minute situation. Would highly recommend and certainly will be using again!”
About: I’ve taken care of 3 dogs, 4 cats, and two tree frogs since I’ve been 10! I’ve loved every single one of them and I’m trying to get to know more! I am a personal trainer and auditioning so I basically make my own schedule at this point. As long as I have notice I can work with you I am very loving and patient with pets and very respectful of their space. I understand that pets will have different temperaments and I’m plenty patient
About: I’m a student with a real love for animals. At 17, I started walking dogs for neighbors in my gated community. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a flexible schedule, especially in the mornings and early afternoons. I also have free time on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I enjoy staying active, being outdoors, and spending time with animals—it doesn’t feel like work to me! Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and clean environment. I follow any special instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, medication, or routines—and I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes for safety. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free.
“Anna was great! It was a fairly last minute reservation and she was able to accommodate with no issues. She offered to do a meet and greet ahead of the reservation which is always nice and her communication was A+ !”

16. Maija P.
“Maija has been great taking care of our dog on several occasions! We have called her to walk our dog, Narene, several times over the last several years with no issues. Narene LOVES it when Maija comes to our house and gets so excited! Maija has also stayed at our home to watch Narene (and house sit) 3-4 times. Narene is challenging because she has special dietary needs and requires homemade dog food with added vitamins and oils and can only have very specific treats. We have never had any issues with Maija watching her. Narene is always healthy when we come home! (Which is not always the case with other people that have watched/walked her.) I would highly recommend Maija.”

18. Calvin C.
“Calvin is such a a help! When I needed a last minute pet sitter, he was so so quick to respond and diligent to cater to all of my cat, Kitty's needs. She’s a very skittish cat but his fun, warm presence made her warm up so quickly! He’s was also great with my two pitbulls, Max & Rosco— who can be quite the handful! I’m usually nervous leaving them with others because they’re large and a bit jumpy (making them hard to walk) but Calvin was so great a calming them down and taking them out while I was away!”
19. Marcos P.
“Marcos took amazing care of my dog Max while I was at work. Max is usually shy around new people, but he bonded with Marcos right away. He always came back happy and relaxed after their walks. Marcos is punctual, kind, and truly loves animals. I highly recommend him!”

“Anna was great! It was a fairly last minute reservation and she was able to accommodate with no issues. She offered to do a meet and greet ahead of the reservation which is always nice and her communication was A+ !”
