Dog Walking In City Island

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra love and patience. I have volunteered at our local animal shelter where I took care of mummies and disabled dogs. I currently do not have a dog, and have plenty of love and care to give to yours! I work from home and will have flexibility based on your dog's needs. I am happy to board your dog during the day or overnight, and I will be able to take them out for as many walks as needed. I am currently in a house with a fenced backyard, giving dogs extra space to safely play, explore, and get fresh air throughout the day. In general, I follow instructions to the T. You can have peace of mind. For boarding, I am happy to follow your instructions including crating and walk schedule.

About: What sets me apart is my calm, observant approach and the amount of care I put into making animals feel genuinely safe and comfortable. I’m patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or senior pets, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and individual personalities. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so owners can trust that instructions will be followed carefully and their pets will get thoughtful, attentive care rather than just a quick check-in. I’m a freelancer and student, Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, reliable, and good at maintaining consistent feeding, play, medication, and check-in schedules. I also like quieter routines, so spending time caring for cats feels calming and grounding rather than stressful or rushed. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and respect for their routines and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure food, water, litter, medications, and general cleanliness are handled carefully while also giving the cat affection, enrichment, or space depending on their personality. I pay close attention to behavior changes and prioritize creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Always happy to send updates and tidy up!

“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”

About: I grew up in a family who loved and hosted multiple breeds of dogs and cats. Pets deserve someone like myself to fill in to be cared for. I am available for walks and sitting on weekends/ It is important though, that dogs not be incessant barkers, as I live in an apartment. Dogs must be trained to walk outside and/or use wee pads seamlessly. Dogs will be walked, fed, entertained and loved. Cats must not be destructive to furniture or other pets. I have been a dog mom for decades so I am very in tune with safety and fun for the pets .

“Alexis is a wonderful dog walker. He is a fast walker, so if you have a big dog, don't worry if they'll get enough exercise. He was on time and communicative. I would recommend Alexis to any person who needs a reliable dog walker.”

About: Hi! I’m Amae — a lifelong animal lover who truly grew up surrounded by pets. I was raised with a sweet pit bull and two cats, so caring for animals has always been a natural (and happy) part of my life. I also have experience helping my mom with babysitting and pet care through the app, so I understand the importance of trust, communication, and consistency when caring for someone else’s fur babies. I’m currently a responsible college student who loves being around animals in my free time. Right now, I’m also a bunny mom, so I’m used to routines, gentle handling, and giving lots of love and attention. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. I know how special pets are, and I’d be happy to help care for yours 🐶🐱🐰✨ Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. Every day, I make time to feed and play with my cat, as well as care for my bunny. That means fresh food and water, enrichment time, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they’re both getting attention and affection. I really value creating a calm, consistent routine for animals, so checking in on them throughout the day has just become second nature to me. In other people’s homes, I respect house rules, keep things tidy, and maintain clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s checking collars and leashes before walks, monitoring playtime, or making sure they have fresh water. I treat every pet with the same level of care and attention I give my own.

About: I have taken care of Senior dogs, high energy dogs, oral medicine administration, training experience and have done Puppy care. Practice leash walking if I see it's needed. I'm currently volunteering part time at the Animal Shelter and walk dogs part time. My schedule is pretty flexible and can help out whenever needed. I provide a warm, loving, calm and peaceful environment in my home. There are no pets living in my home which is helpful for pets whenever they come in my home. Creates a comfortable and stress-free atmosphere for them.

“Kamila is so sweet and kind, and my Sam loves having a new friend to see every week. She asked great questions and is already so great with Sam.”

About: I love all animals and once my dog Snow passed away I decided to extend my help to any pet parents out there that need a little support. I’m also on Wag! The best workout you can possibly have is walking your dog or playing with your cat. It’s way better than going to the gym everyday. :) When I have a pet in my care I always make it a priority to get very detailed instructions for the pets care and always send periodic pictures and video updates to the pet parent

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and caring for pets is something I genuinely love not just a side gig. I have hands on experience caring for pets of different personalities, energy, levels, and needs. Im comfortable with feeding routines, potty breaks, leash walking, and giving pets the attention and reassurance they need while you are away. Each pet gets personalized attention based on their routine, temperament and preferences. Im patient, observant and very attentive to details. I also prioritize communication, so you’ll feel informed, reassured, and confident that your pet is in great hands. I go to school durning the week but on weekends I’m definitely dedicated to spending time with other dogs when ur not available I love dogs and think they won’t be sad when there’s company around Whether Im caring for pets in my home or in a clients home, my goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels as close to “normal” as possible for them.

About: I create a special bond with all my pets. After some time with me, owners tell me they see a positive impact on their furry friend. I have experience training puppies for indoor and outdoor potty training, fun commands with treats, walking etiquette, and barking tolerance. I have experience potty training kittens. I have administered medicine to senior pets. Finally, proudly bilingual service in Spanish! My schedule allows me to be available any day or any week. I am flexible around the clock if the owner needs me to be. I take my time reading notes from the owner. I update and stay in contact with them. I send pictures and videos of their baby.

“Ari has been great with my pup. During the meet and greet, he asked great questions and played with Nala which made me feel more comfortable. I will definitely continue to use his services and Nala seems to like him too!”

About: I started working with pets at the start of the pandemic, when my mom surprised the household with an energetic and anxious goldendoodle. He was 50 pounds and 5 feet long, and insisted on peeing in every corner of the house. I dedicated myself to training him, and he now serves as a service animal for mental health disorders. In the last six years, I have worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, rabbits, birds, and cats. I can't wait to get to know your fur-baby :) I am available everyday between the hours of 9:00am - 3:00pm, but am able to make other arrangements if needed. Please feel free to contact me if amended hours are needed! My services include providing multiple daily walks, food, potty breaks, and playtime with your pet (dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds) in your home. I am also able to train pets at all levels of obedience to perform a series of tricks ranging from sit to retrieving medications.

“If 6 stars was available I would give 6 stars, Josh was so so patient with my pup, understood Coreys demeanor and was so pleasant, will absolutely recommend and totally trust Josh with Corey(my pup). Thank you again , see you soon!!”

About: I am a highly skilled pet caregiver based in the Bronx with extensive experience in managing the care of dogs and cats in the city and the boroughs. I have successfully handled anxious and high-energy pets, as well as animals with complex dietary needs and challenging leash behaviors. I am more than capable of caring for pets with detailed care instructions. When entrusted with your pet, you can expect frequent and detailed photo and text updates to keep you informed on how your fur baby is doing. I guarantee to keep your pet entertained and engaged in your absence, ensuring a worry-free experience for you. Your pet will receive the same level of care and attention as if they were my own! I work part-time in the entertainment industry, so I have a very flexible schedule. I update my Rover calendar weekly. For the time being, I can only accept bookings accessible by NYC public transportation, including Metro-North and NJ Transit. I have been vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19. I am happy to wear a mask when interacting with humans in your home if requested - I may also mask for my safety. For dogs' safety, I do not take dogs to dog parks, take them off-leash, or simultaneously walk dogs from different households unless I am extremely familiar with the dogs' behavior and the activity is approved by the owners.

About: I grew up in Washington DC and I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2024. Since then, I have been preparing for my medical school applications. I am a certified EMT and I recently took my MCAT. Before I wanted to be a doctor I dreamed of being a veterinarian. I wanted to be around animals and care for them so badly that my parents signed me up for Cub Creek Science Camp (an animal camp). After two years as a camper, I got the opportunity to be an Animal Specialist in Training! This came with the responsibility of caring after the animals at the camp and leading activities for the campers. I grew always having dogs around the house and being at animal camp allowed me to learn about caring for all animals (cats, snakes, rodents, birds, etc.). I approach animal care with the utmost responsibility and care. Please note, I am very familiar and comfortable with specialized care. I have two senior dogs and one of them is blind. I am currently in the application process for medical school so I have a lot of flexibility and time in my schedule to look after your pups and kitties! I care for my pets daily and ensure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy. I love animals and approach every pet the same way I do my own. I want to gain an understanding of your pets’ regular routine and replicate that so they feel the most comfortable once I begin caring for them.

About: I worked at Petsmart for about 4 years and I’ve had experience with every pet you can imagine from puppies to fish to cats. You name it I’ve taken care of I work a part time job so I’m available everyday of the week including weekends! Whenever you need me give me a call I’ll be there I follow my pet parents rules! Certain things your baby can’t eat? Fine with me. Your fur baby needs a bedtime story even better. Does your fur baby love walks? Let’s hit the park. I also offer house keeping as well

About: Some past experiences were at animal shelters like the Humane Society of Westchester and the Mount Vernon Animal Shelter. I love what dogs and humans can bring to one another. I consider myself energetic and can match the energy, as well as the tranquility of a pet. Mood reading is very important and that is part of the joy of understanding each other with our languages. A routine and change of pace can work because it is never a dull moment. Pets are amazing and understanding mood helps the communication and language. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for dogs to run around in. The space is safe and spacious, able to play games and stretch.
