Dog Walking Commonwealth

About: I'm an animal lover and bond easily with all pets. I have worked as a dog bather / groomer at a national chain for all breeds and sizes. My experience also include helping a breeder with puppies and mother care. Recently, I pet sat a sick dog whose family had already booked their vacation. I nursed their dog back to health with boiled chicken, nutritional supplements, and gentle comforting. It would be my honor to provide the care your beloved pet(s) need while you're unable to be there. My services includes playing, walking, petting, feeding, grooming and talking to large or small dogs - all cats, any birds! Of course, cleaning, administering medications, and consoling them, will be done with care. Available for extra tasks, such as taking your pet to the veterinarian or groomer. Congratulations on taking the necessary steps to ensure your pet is flourishing. Hope to meet you and your pet soon! I am a new retiree and work part-time for the days and hours I select. I am flexible, and can set my schedule around your pets needs I can come to your home with your specific instructions for maintaining the pets routine and crating requirements. I have reliable transportation for any travel requests.

“Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊”

Noah works Tuesday- Saturday 8 to 4 and Megan works two random days either 630 to 5 or 8 to 630. Between the two of us, our availability is wide open :) We are located in the Murray Hill area. We are both active people who enjoy going on long walks around the neighborhood. We keep our pets at a healthy weight, routine vet visits and feeding schedule for all of our animals. We also run a cleaning and grooming schedule throughout the week to minimum grime and maximum a healthy environment for our animals to live in. We are available for sitting, walking, or overnight care at any time and any day. We love having a step goal so we love going for walks with fur babies! We are very attentive on walks and safety will be our number 1 priority.

About: I grew up with dogs, and I adopted my dog Bailey in 2019. I have plenty of experience caring for the dogs of friends and family members. I have a very flexible schedule, and I am happy to accept same day requests to help take care of your fur babies. I am available every day. I do not offer care in my home. I can provide drop in services or dog walks in your neighborhood. I also have experience handling reactive animals.

About: I am a huge animal lover- I currently have a few cats and dogs (high energy Belgian malinois and huskies), as well as a dozen quail. Previously, I’ve had multiple birds, turtles, fish, and chickens! I am extremely experienced with all types of caregiving and love doing it! I regularly take my dogs to fast cats, any outdoors activity like paddle boarding, runs most mornings, etc! I have extensive experience dealing with dogs with various medical issues. One of my dogs was diagnosed with a severe case of Addison's disease, requiring daily medications. My other elderly dog has frequent seizures, so I am confident in my ability is caring for special case animals. I am available for sitting, walking, or overnight boarding at any time, any day! I have completely open availability including late nights or early mornings. Safety is the most important thing- I carry my own pet insurance that covers more than just rover's. While on walks, I do not allow dogs to meet other strangers or animals in any situation. I always carry spare leashes and an air horn.

About: I’ve always been around animals since I was little, living on a small farm and growing up taking in four cats of my own! I currently work at home as an artist, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate during the summer until school starts back up for my son. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals, knowing how to handle them, play, feed and clean! Very respectful of your pet’s personality.

About: I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and their welfare and enrichment is extremely important to me. I have multiple years of experience with newborn kittens and puppies, as well as senior animals. I know how to administer medication, and well as emergency procedures such as CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. I’m very mindful of their behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or health. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. After visits, I double-check doors, gates, and anything related to your pet’s safety. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable trusting me in your home.

“Addison is great! I have been so happy with her walking our dog. Great communicator, respected our time and space, and our puppy loves her.”

“Kenneth followed my instructions and even took my dog for a longer walk than what was scheduled. I would be happy to have him walk Hesed again in the future :)”

About: We bring a dedicated, behavior-conscious background to every animal in our care, grounded in practical canine psychology and a lifetime of caring for both dogs and cats. Puppy Foundations & Development: We have personally raised puppies through every critical developmental phase, from teething and crate conditioning to environmental neutrality and impulse control. We know firsthand the consistency and clarity required to shape an energetic pup into a balanced, well-mannered household companion, and we naturally uphold those same standards for guest dogs. Trainer-Mentored & Behavioral Focus: Working aspirationally toward a full-time career in professional dog training, we study canine and feline body language, drive management, and behavioral mechanics. Our personal dogs are regularly evaluated and praised by professional trainers for their neutrality, solid impulse control, and calm household manners—standards we bring directly to our care protocols. Feline Intuition: Having lived with and cared for cats throughout our lives, we understand their subtle stress cues, environmental needs, and routines. Whether managing multi-pet boundaries at home or conducting drop-in visits, we provide calm, low-pressure care that respects feline space and comfort. Single-Guest Exclusivity: What sets us completely apart from commercial kennels and multi-dog sitters is our strict limit: we host only one client dog at a time. Your dog receives dedicated human attention, calm routines, and personalized handling without competing for resources or enduring chaotic group dynamics. We both work full-time from our dedicated home office, meaning pet care is integrated directly into my day rather than treated as an afterthought. Our remote setup allows for consistent ambient supervision, regular potty breaks, and prompt attention to feeding or medication routines. Boarding Timing: Because of our work-from-home flexibility, we do not enforce rigid drop-off or pick-up windows. We are glad to coordinate seamlessly around your road trips, flights, and travel itineraries. Drop-Ins & Structured Walks: Mobile daytime visits are scheduled during early morning hours, midday lunch breaks, and late afternoons/evenings. Safety and low-stress management drive every protocol in our home: Private Dedicated Guest Room: Your dog has their own private room for sleeping, meals, and downtime. If your dog enjoys socializing with our two resident Labs, great—but if they prefer complete quiet, their own space, or zero other-dog interaction, we manage routines separately and safely. Secure Property: We have a fully fenced yard for supervised turnouts and secure double-door thresholds. Vehicle Safety: Any off-site adventures are conducted with dogs crated or safely tethered in the vehicle. In-Your-Home Care: For local cat and dog drop-ins, we respect your home security, maintain strict lockbox/key protocols, and follow your exact feeding and medication instructions. Detailed photo dispatches are sent after every visit or boarding day.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician, I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs.

“Erika was great and so reliable during our vacation. John loved his walks with her, and we really appreciated the updates she sent while he was out on his walks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”

About: I am an art teacher full-time during the school year. I am available for weekend house sitting starting on Fridays when I get off. I am open to doing house sitting during the week as well, as long as you are okay with your pet being alone while I am at work. Message me so we can work out details! I’ve had my own cats for 8 years. However, I am a huge dog lover too! I have lived with many dogs through roommates and developed special bonds with many of them. I would be entrusted to care for them if a roommate was away. I love sending pics of your fur babies to you while I take care of them! I am a teacher. So, summertime is extremely flexible, and, sometimes, wide open! I can make a lot work in the summer to fit your pet’s needs. Since I have 2 cats, I am looking to mostly take care of your pets in your home. I am all about comfort for my own pets, and make that the priority for your pets in your home!

“Thank you so much!”

About: I have had experience working at a boarding facility working with dogs and understand the "dog pack" mentality. I am patient and know it takes work to train our pets. I love all animals and can assure yours will be well taken care of while your away. I am very trustworthy and reliable.

I make adjustments to the total price of a booking depending on the overall request and what is needed not simply by the price that's listed.

“CJ was amazing in winning the trust of our anxious pup, Lily. She calmly worked through Lily's fears and became her friend over the course of just 2 walks! She is patient, enthusiastic, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend CJ!”

“As a pet sitter myself, my wife and I are very picky about who we allow to care for our babies. Although we only need a few dogs walked, Rileigh still took on meeting the entire Tribe of dogs we have. And by tribe I mean 8 dogs. She stayed for over an hour, even when we only booked 30 minutes and we appreciate that very much. We are looking forward to working more with her.”
