“Valeriia helped me out at the last minute and did an amazing job with my pup! I appreciated the details and photos she provided. I will definitely ask her to help in the future!”
“I contacted Mia for a walk about 3 hours before the pickup time - I had a schedling shift in work and needed help. This was my first time even contacting her. She was available to make it happen and she was beyonnd delightful for my puppy Spatz. Just the love and energy she exudes in communicating through the app is so cool. Was no surprise to me given her profile and reviews. ? Mia!”
“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!”
“Fernando was very professional, quick to reply, and pleasant! My dog was in very good spirits after her walks. I was a bit late in meeting him for one of our walks and he still walked my dog for the amount of time I had booked. Highly recommend!”
“Marina was so wonderful and took great care of crou. She was super self sufficient which I really appreciated as she squeezed this in as a last minute request due to a big client meeting.”
About: I have been a passionate dog lover my entire life and have extensive experience caring for my own 3-year-old Shiba Inu back home. Raising a Shiba has taught me incredible patience, the importance of positive reinforcement, and how to handle independent, high-energy breeds. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs, and I am committed to providing the same level of attentive, specialized care to your furry friend that I give to my own. Hi! I am Lexi! I am perfectly located for an active dog! I live just a 10-minute walk from Prospect Park, which is perfect for long, scenic afternoon strolls and exploring the trails. For quick "business" trips and fresh air, there is also a small “park” literally 30 seconds downstairs from my door. Whether your pup needs a long adventure in the big park or a quick stretch right outside, I can easily accommodate their energy levels and bathroom needs throughout the day. I live alone in NYC and work from home two days for workdays , which allows me to provide constant companionship and frequent potty breaks for your pet. On my WFH days, your dog will never be lonely! During the rest of the week, my schedule is flexible, allowing for long morning walks, evening play sessions, and plenty of quality time. Since I don't have pets in my current apartment, your dog will receive 100% of my attention and affection during their stay. Safety is my top priority. When your dog is with me, I ensure a calm, pet-proofed environment where they can feel at ease. I am a firm believer in following the owner’s specific instructions to the letter—whether it’s a strict feeding schedule, leash manners during city walks, or crate training preferences. I live in a secure building and am very vigilant during walks to ensure we avoid any stressful situations. You can expect frequent photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having!
About: I’ve had years of experience caring for animals. I grew up with two family dogs —one boxer/german shepherd mix and one boxer/great dane mix — which gave me daily experience with feeding, walking, grooming, etc. I have also cared for friends and family members’ pets, including both dogs and cats, providing walking, feeding, playtime, and attentive companionship. I am comfortable with pets of different sizes and energy levels and I prioritize safety, reliability, and care in every animal and human interaction. I am a recent graduate of UF living at home for the summer while I figure out what's next! I work remotely and create my own schedule, so l am extremely flexible and would love to work around your schedule preferences and what's most convenient for you! I am currently living with my family and our childhood great dane/boxer, Ollie! As the only person who works from home, I take care of Ollie during the day, so I have lots of experience caring for animals. I won't be watching any other furry friends at my house, but will gladly travel to you and follow any procedure given to safely provide care to your pets.
About: I've been caring for dogs for the past 7 years and cats for 3 years, with experience ranging from daily walks and playdates to overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to treating every pet like my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including traditional working hours. This allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it's midday walks, drop-in visits, extended playtime, or overnight stays. I'm happy to work around your schedule and your pet's routine to provide consistent, attentive care whenever you need an extra hand! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for a walk, I make sure to follow your instructions, respect their routines, and pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I'm happy to provide regular updates and will always send lots of photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands :)
“Daniel is wonderful! He has been very patient with Ryder, who has been afraid of all men since some guy broke his leg and left him to die. After four long walks, Ryder now considers Daniel to be family.”
About: I genuinely love animals and have extensive hands-on experience caring for them! I’ve pet-sat dogs for friends and family, and even helped my own dogs through two litters of puppies. I have also foster a shelter dog and helped him find his forever home. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, responsible, and comfortable with animals of different personalities and needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! 🐾❤️ I’m the perfect fit for pet parents who need a caring, reliable sitter for midday walks! I have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m happy to give your pup some exercise, attention, and love during the middle of the day while you’re busy at work or away! I want your pup to feel comfortable and safe with me when taking care of him/her. This will include respecting the expectation and rules set by the owner and making this opportunity as accommodating as possible.

Amanda is an amazing human and friend to dogs. We have a very traumatized, anxious, reactive rescue dog and needed to find someone to help sometimes. She is incredibly patient and kind. She came over 4 times while we were home to hang out and did walks with us before ever taking him by herself so that he could gain trust. He wouldn't go farther with her than the nearest tree for several weeks but she kept at it and now he loves her. It's a huge relief to know that there is someone Cheddar loves! She also stayed with him and was an excellent houseguest.
When Dov sees Cody he does running jumps into his arms and immediately wants to snuggle and play with his besty Cody!! Cody sends such fun picture and video updates while he and Dov explore little paths and nature together. He also appreciates all the quirks (big and small) and loves Dov like he’s his own. We are so so grateful for Cody!
Jason is hands down the best dog walker we’ve had since we got Zeus. He was exceptionally reliable and never missed a single walk or called out once. More than anything, it was clear how much he genuinely cared for and loved Zeus, and Zeus adored him right back. We are going to miss him tremendously and recommend him 100% to anyone looking for an amazing walker!
We feel very lucky to have found Lilah. Our dog Gracie, who is a two year old rescue with a lot of energy, has fallen in love with her and is so excited to greet her on their walk days. The humans in our family appreciate Lilah’s excellent communication, her reliability, thoughtful notes and the sincere care she shows towards Gracie. You won’t find a better dog walker!
Had a last-minute trip and needed my dog Cora walked twice every day for a whole week while I was out. Jacky and her team did a fantastic job making sure Cora was taken care of, with minimal planning on my part. Plus they take the best pictures of any dog walker I’ve ever seen! Would give 6 stars if I could. ⭐️
It gave me such peace of mind knowing Nestle was in such good hands. The love, patience, and attention Avary gave Nestle meant so much to me. I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. I highly recommend Avary to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby!
Ceren is a extremely attentive and kind with my two dogs. She is an amazing caretaker and always communicates with me in advance regarding their walking schedule or their care. Ceren has a very calming energy which is very helpful for my dog Oliver in particular who has some anxiety and leash reactivity. I truly appreciate how well she cares for both my dogs before and after their walks making sure that all their needs are met and that they are safe, happy, and loved!
Raul is fantastic! He takes such great care of our dog, and we always feel confident he's in good hands. He's incredibly attentive and communicative, especially when it comes to flagging any issues or concerns and keeping us updated. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. We highly recommend him!
