Dog Walking Dyker Heights

“If you are not booking Shay to sit your dog, you are doing yourselves a disservice. This is the second time we have used Shay's services within the past year; and like the first time, she did not disappoint. Prompt, informative, courteous and most importantly loving to our 2 shihtzus. They in turn respond well to her. Max is temperamental and prone to the occasional nip. But max loves Shay, permitting her to rub his belly (a great sign of trust) Fluffy is always in need of human contact and he got that by sitting next to or on Shay 😆 Shay kept us informed about her arrivals, walks, and feedings. Sending pictures and videos. My girlfriend wanted no one else to take care of our pups while we were away. She said, "I love her (shay) aura, her vibe, the dogs trust her and are comfortable with her." We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry or concern. Thank you Shay. Max and Fluffy thank you for taking great care with them🥰”

“Amanda was so attentive to my sweet Golden Retriever. She is very knowledgeable and is also a trainer. She helped me with some tips and insight on all things dog related, and my pup seemed to enjoy his time on their walk together. Highly recommend!”

“Andy has great communication about his walks and responds within a reasonable amount of time when we reach out. He was punctual and brought back our Arlo on time.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I have experience of working with dogs of any age: little puppies to senior dogs. I enjoy taking care of animals and bringing them joy during walks and play dates. I am currently a on my last year of high school and due to that I have lots of free time. I am usually home by 12pm and have rest of the day to take care of pets. Except Saturdays since I work once a week. I have a doggy park 10 minutes away from my house where other dogs can become a company for a pet. If dog is not allowed/does not like being in contact with other animals the rest of the park can become a great place for walks and play dates.

About: I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for them. I am patient, attentive, and responsible with feeding, walks, routines, playtime, and giving pets affection and attention based on their personality and comfort level. I understand that every pet is different and try to help them feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for caged birds at home, so I am especially mindful about safety and supervision around animals. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I try to keep pets comfortable and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for pets. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and each pet’s comfort level and personality.

About: Hi! My name is Ying (aka Lucy) and I take every chance I get to play with doggies. I've always been a dog lover, ever since I was a kid. To me, they are the purest and cutest creatures, and spending time with them brings me so much joy. I've helped walk my friends’ dogs and enjoyed playing with them whenever I visited their homes. These experiences have given me a good understanding of how to handle dogs of different temperaments and sizes. I am currently working from home and have flexible schedules. I am available all day on weekends. Whether your furry friend needs a midday walk or some company in the evening, I can accommodate your needs. I make sure your pet feels safe and loved, whether they're with me or in their own home. My home is clean and pet-friendly, with plenty of fresh water and cozy resting areas. Living near a dog park means lots of fun and secure playtime. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and stick to your pet's routine. I ensure all entry points are secure and remove any potential hazards. I'm also attentive to any special needs, whether it's medication or dietary requirements. I always use secure leashes and harnesses on walks, and I love keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and safe. My goal is to provide a loving, fun, and safe environment for every pet I care for.

About: The amount of times i’ve offered to take care of my family’s pets just to spend time with them.. i absolutely adore taking time out of my day to get a boost of dopamine by spending time with our fur babies! I’ve taken my neighbors dog out on walks for 2 years now and i will never get tired of it! Our walks consist of taking her to the dog park, potty breaks and lots of treats love and attention. I am a huge dog and cat lover, i’ve had a mission to spend time with as many dogs and cats until i run out of love(never) please consider me to be apart of your fur babies life 🫶🏼🥹 I am currently working four days at a hair salon, but I’m available on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays where I can drop in during the day or any times to spend time with your fur babies. Having 3 cats i know how messy and hairy it can get! I usually come and tidy up around the house to give both you and your fur baby a clean, litter, fur free home. I tend to the litter box and wash food bowls, I’m also a huge treat person and i love giving so much love and affection, Play time is huge part of my visits not just drop in and outs, i think giving our fur babies some fun and active play time makes their whole day and it makes me super happy to be apart of their day! i also never leave without having a little fun haha

“Mallory is great! My bull terrier Luna loves her.. Mallory is very punctual and every time my dog comes back home is always happy.. Mallory is great, we are blessed to have you!”

About: When I was a child my family owned and cared for dogs, horses, bunnies, and chickens which meant I became an animal caretaker at a very young age. In addition to helping to feed, groom, and clean up after our pets, I was aIso responsible for administering our dog’s daily diabetes insulin. My childhood prepared me well for becoming a dog mom to a longhaired dapple Dachshund in early 2021. I cannot imagine my life without him and cannot wait for your furbaby to become his furbuddy! I'm also the proud owner of Boogs & Boop, a small business specializing in pet accessories, with a portion of proceeds donated to supporting animal shelters and dogs in need. This commitment reflects my deep passion for caring for dogs and their well being. I work full time from home, so Dog Mom is my 24/7 job title. I am conveniently located near a park so go on at least two walks a day, weather permitting. DAYCARE CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: 1. Daycare refers to drop off between 8-9am and 5-6pm, a 8-hour period. 2. Pick-up and drop-off times for Daycare must be scheduled in advance through direct message. 2. Late arrivals of more than 30 minutes will be charged an additional $5 per 30 minutes that you are late. Late arrivals risk interfering with other appointments, so this fee helps to accommodate that change. 3. Drop offs before 8am are subject to an Early Drop-off Fee of $10 per hour. 4. Pick up after 6pm are subject to a Late Pick-up Fee of $10 per hour. 5. Pick up after 9pm is considered boarding which is subject to double my Daycare rate. HOUSE-SITTING CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: During house sits, I typically continue my normal schedule with other pet care clients (walks, drop-ins, etc.), so I may be out of the home for portions of the day. If your pet requires near-constant or 24/7 care, please let me know in advance. I may be able to accommodate, but this would require adjustments for my own dog and existing clients and may involve an additional fee. I care for pets in my home since I also have my furbaby to attend to. This means there’s always healthy treats, pee pads, dog wipes, and pet first aid products on hand. I understand that being away from your furbaby can be nerve-wracking, but you can rest assured that I will provide clear communication and photo updates when your pet is in my care. I do not have an attached yard, but the park is a hop, skip, and a jump away, so it’s easy to take potty breaks whenever necessary. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Please arrive with your pet on a leash. I am a strong advocate for pet safety and leash laws. 2. Due to Covid-19 precautions, I do not allow guests into my home, but would be happy to meet you downstairs at drop-off and pick-up times. 3. I will ALWAYS send photos throughout the appointment, even if not directly requested. INCLEMENT WEATHER DISCLAIMER: I take all weather advisories seriously. When the heat index is above 90°F degrees or windchill is below 20°F walks will be cut short for your pet's safety and for my own. Walks will consist of “doing their business” then returning indoors. Regular service is maintained in the rain, but will be postponed due to thunder, lightning, or blizzards. Walks may be early or delayed depending on the forecast. I will always communicate with dog owners if a change of plan is necessary due to dangerous weather and temperatures. Thank you for your understanding.

“Melissa has been great with my dog Maggie. She came early to meet her and was patient as it takes a couple of visits before she warms up. She gave me lots of updates and was open to playing, puzzles etc. I’ve already booked more walks with Melissa 😊”

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs. I have babysat and walked friends and family’s pets, and have always had a connection with animals. I am attentive, reliable, caring, and i’m committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and exercised. I am so excited to spend some time with your babies! I have an open schedule. I am available from Monday-Sunday from 12-8, and can make up to two visits a day. Please message me at least a day beforehand, thank you! I will not be keeping pets at my house or stay overnight at a clients, but I will ask that you let me know of your pets medical needs, emergency contacts, vet info, etc so I can insure their safety as well as mine. And please let me know of any habits or interests of your pets! thank you!

“Ismail is a great communicator, always on time and goes above and beyond to take care of my pup. I feel confident my dog is being taken care of on walks as well as when he’s stayed with Ismail at his place while I’ve been away. My dog can be reactive and needs to stay away from other dogs, so I can be a bit anxious about who takes care of him. Knowing Ismail is caring for him always puts me at ease. I highly recommend Ismail to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and hard working caretaker!”

About: I’ve always had dogs as a meaningful part of my life even though my current lease doesn’t allow me to have one of my own. For the last six years, I helped take care of a previous partner's dog, including watching him alone for weeks or even a month at a time. He was adopted and mildly reactive, so I learned to be attentive to body language, manage space around triggers, keep walks calm and positive, and make sure they felt safe while still getting plenty of stimulation. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dogs, including a rambunctious, high-energy German shepherd puppy and a mature Australian shepherd, so I’m comfortable with smart, active dogs who need more than a quick walk around the block. I especially love connecting with intelligent dogs who thrive on enrichment, structure, and engagement, whether that means sniffy walks, varied routes, leash games, practicing cues, or just giving them the time and attention they need to feel fulfilled. I recently moved to Brooklyn, and spending time with dogs feels like the best possible way to explore the neighborhood. I enjoy letting dogs sniff, investigate, and set a natural rhythm instead of rushing them through a walk. I work from home three days a week, which also gives me a lot of flexibility for housesitting and daytime care. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to adapt to your dog’s routine and personality - the more you can tell me about how to show them a good time, the better a job I can do! I also love being around cats, whether they're cuddly or aloof - I'm happy to hang out and keep an eye on them as needed :) I work from home up to 3 days (any days) a week and am very flexible weekends and evenings; I'm happy to discuss how I can meet your needs and match your schedule! I care for pets with attentiveness and respect for their normal routine. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos based on your communication preferences, and I’ll never be unreachable or “off grid” while I’m caring for your fur baby. If your pet has any special instructions, including medications, exercise needs, reactivity, feeding routines, or comfort preferences, I genuinely want to know so I can follow them carefully and consistently. For dogs and social cats, I like to make the time feel like a little local staycation rather than just basic care. When we’re not out walking, exploring, sniffing, or playing, your dog will be welcome to hang out near me, cuddle up, or relax in the same space. As a rule, I won’t leave pets crated, confined or ignored. I’m also very mindful that I’m a guest in your home. I’ll keep things clean, respect your space, and leave minimal traces behind. My goal is to be your peace of mind while you’re away: someone who keeps your pet comfortable, loved, and well cared for until you’re back home. Finally, you don't have to blindly trust me on a whim - I'm happy to do a meet and greet to get to know you and your pets in your space. I want picking me to feel like the perfect choice before you even leave your pets with me :)

“Kay has been great! Super accommodating and my dog is always happy to see them!”

About: I have formally worked at a dog boarding kennel for 3 years where I handle up to 30 dogs in a yard at a time, making sure they all get along and receive ample amounts of love! Through my job I have gained lots of experience with reading dog behavior/body language as well as making sure all their mental and physical needs are met. I have experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes and feel comfortable taking care of almost any dog I meet. I held responsibilities in caring for my 2 family dogs growing up. Since then I've also looked after neighbors and friends dogs numerous times, taking care of things like potty breaks, baths, meal times, and daily medications. Im currently an interning at Maggy London 3 days a week (Tues, Wed, Thurs) from 9-6pm. However, I am available any other time of the day or week. Unfortunately I am living in student housing that does not allow pets in the building. However there are plenty of nearby parks within 5-10 minutes walking distance from my apartment.
