About: I have 3 cats of different ages who all manage to live in comfortable harmony! I’m very attentive to changes in their behavior, and do plenty of research to ensure they remain in good health— both physically and mentally (in fact, I probably care about their health more than my own…) I am very well versed in solving disputes between other cats, and fixing behavioral issues like using the bathroom outside the litter box. I would very much take a bullet for cats even though they’d trade me for a treat 🤭💕 I also have plenty of energy and like to get at least 10k steps everyday. Me walking the dog? More like the dog is walking me! I currently am not working for the summer so I have plenty of time open every week! I’m usually not free Friday, Saturday, Sundays but otherwise am usually open. My girl cat in my apartment is super friendly and non-aggressive as she has two older brothers who taught her to be very docile…haha..I will treat my client’s fur babies as if it were my own as I’ve loved forming deep bonds with animals all my life.
“Paula is an excellent dog walker - punctual, attentive, and genuinely caring. She consistently arrives on time and focuses closely on my dog’s needs. My dog clearly loves her and feels completely comfortable in her care. We feel so lucky to have found a reliable and safe carer!”

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs through their senior years, which taught me patience, awareness, and to just make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Just moved to NYC and I do miss having dogs around and would love to share some extra love with yours! Spending time with your dog would honestly be the best way to spend my extra time. Walks, playtime, belly rubs, and all the furry company! I’ll make sure your fur babies receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, medication if needed, and lots of love and reassurance. I’ll also keep you updated with photos/messages so you can feel at ease knowing your fur babies are happy and well cared for!
“Dani is an excellent dog walker! She paid close attention to every detail, kept us updated throughout, and was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend her services to anyone!”

“Daniela took amazing care of Ella even Ella can be scared at first. I have worked with Daniela 3 times now and it shows how professional she is and I will highly recommend her for your service!!!”

About: I'm here! As a lifelong pet owner, I know what it takes to ensure that my cats, dogs and critters are well taken care of (and although it's not always easy, it's always rewarding) I have successfully raised kittens and puppies and I am familiar with basic puppy training techniques and tricks and would love to work with your puppy if you're currently training them, feel free let me know what you're working on so I can help with the process. I also have personal experience handling small animals such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas and mice and would love to meet yours if you have any :) ★☆★ NEW CLIENTS, PLEASE NOTE★☆★ For my and your pets' sake, I do not accept bookings without an initial meet and greet prior to the scheduled assignment. I understand things do happen last minute however for safety reasons it is best to do a meet and greet before I take on any new clients, I would prefer not to intrude on an animal's space without them at least being familiar with my presence and I am not comfortable with needlessly causing them any stress. Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I have over over 5 years of professional dog handling experience from working at a local doggy daycare and as a dogwalker with a small company. There, I've familiarized myself with the visual cues of canine body language to ensure that safety is my top priority for the pack. I know some dogs have bad days like the rest of us, that's why I like to think they would be in good hands. I also have about 3 years of professional dog walking experience with another company (The Dogwalking Network) in the Park Slope area where I walked about 10-15 dogs a day of various sizes (and never more than 4 dogs for groups, based on temperaments of each individual dog) I am currently a part time student at City Tech looking for some part time fun with your fur babies! Rain or shine, I'm available in the general Fort Greene area. Lots of play, treats and unconditional love! If there is anything that I need to know, please do not hesitate to inform me. I have personal experience with administrating oral medications and will be extra mindful of any allergies or conditions your fur baby has. Please inform me ahead of time if there is any additional information that I need to know in regard to any tips or tricks for getting access to your pups and kitties such as tricky locks, doors, entry codes, etc so I may plan ahead for your convenience.
“Chelsea was great with Georgie! She was easy to communicate with and made sure that Georgie got plenty of pets and exercise. I’ll definitely have her come walk Georgie again!”

“Valeriia is amazing! She is super responsive, responsible and always keeps me updated. I know my dog is in great hands with her, and I really appreciate her care and reliability. Highly recommend!”

“I'm always pleased that Charlie is happy to see Nelson show up- that's the best signal a dog mom can hope for. We've used Nelson several times and he's always communicative and thoughtful. He's the first person we reach out to on Rover. We will definitely use him again!”

“Christopher is great! Another great walk for Scout and an amazing write up with lots of pictures for mom and dad. Christopher even brought in our mail. Thank you!”

About: I’m a 29 year old animal lover who has a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of both cats and dogs. I personally have owned and cared for both for about 20+ years now. I do everything from walking, feeding and bathing pets. I know some require playtime which I do as well. I enjoy getting to know and spending time with animals. I can’t wait to meet yours! I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule. I have availability mornings, afternoons & nights as needed. Just let me know and we can work something out! I am very attentive when it comes to animals. I always want to make sure your pets are comfortable, fed, hydrated, clean & happy! They deserve the best life, so whatever it takes!
“Ann was fantastic with my dog Marbles. This was my first time using the Rover app. Ann went out of her way to make me comfortable. She even met me and my dog in person the day before I needed to use her walking services! She’s extremely responsible and answered my messages in a timely manner. She also gave us a thorough report of how Marbles did on her walk. I’d highly recommend using her!”

“Stephanie is fantastic! Our dog can be stubborn and Stephanie is persistent in trying to get her to walk. Our dog is so excited to see her each time. Stephanie is always responsive and flexible if the schedule changes!”

About: If you need a chill space for your pet for the day, I'm here for you. Your dog needs a best friend, I'm here for you. Howie feeling down lately and needs a day of fun, I'm here for you. Fun in the sun, fun in the snow, no matter the weather we go play. In the summers I usually work with animals. I work at Farm and wilderness every other summer and this past summer I worked at Sean Casey’s animal rescue. I’m very familiar with taking care of animals, especially dogs. My love for dogs is unconditional. Stormi and I love opening up our space to Furry friends. I mostly work from home and my schedule is very flexible. It allows me more than enough time to hang with some pups for the day. The pups will be in a warm and playful environment they can get comfortable in. They’ll be able to explore and get acclimated at their own pace.

Vania did a great job with Marty the past three days. Marty is sometimes hesitant to walk very far once outside the apartment building but she was able to get him to walk along the water to the park. She was very responsive and on time. I would highly recommend her to anyone else! Thanks so much Vania!!
We had an excellent experience! Emma was incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicated clearly throughout. It was obvious she treated our pet with genuine care and professionalism, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter/walker.

Finding a trustworthy dog walker can be stressful, but Erica put my mind at ease. She was highly professional, communicative and displays a true love for animals. I appreciated the text updates and photos from their outings. I now know I can travel when necessary without worries. Thank you Erica. Looking forward to working with you in the future.
