About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.
“Xiaoying is extremely responsible and provides wonderful service. She is very kind and patient with dogs, and my dog was clearly well cared for. I really appreciate her attention and professionalism, and I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Austin is so great with our older French Bulldog, Penelope. She has some mobility issues, and he is incredibly patient with her, conscious of her need for short walks, and gives her a nice brushing and some outside time when she's done walking. She looks forward to having him come by every day, and so do we!”

About: Hello for starters I'm a guy who loves doing cardio which comes hand to hand with dog walking. I can go hours and hours without getting tired. I own a dog myself (shitzu mix). Im a punctual man as well as man who loves to hike. Ive had numerous jobs as a teen but it didn't really felt like it was my 'calling' or something I can potentially do long term. This is fact my dream job staying at home with a dog and incorporating cardio from time to time. A dog with me will never feel bored I love making sure the dog is essentially happy and in the right state of mind . Endless amount of fetch and belly rubs. Also I have a pretty decent size back yard .
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”

“Paul is so great with both my dogs Copper and Ranger! Copper is dog reactive and needs to be watched carefully and Paul is so patient with him. He’s very sweet and sent me updates and pictures during the walk.”

“Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was probably 15 years old. I’ve dealt with a Bernese Shepard to a 3 month domestic shorthair. I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and families pets and I always give them the love and attention they deserve when away. From walks around the park to cuddling in bed, I’m up for it all! I’m a college student and working part time but still have plenty of time to hang out with your furry babies! Weekdays after 7 (Thursdays after 2) and weekends I’m available for any time. At my house we have a spacious backyard that is blocked all around so no escaping. No pets in my home and I live in a 2 story spacious home. For staying over feel free to just give me any directions and I’ll follow them.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
About: Since I was a child I had a dog for 19 years. His name was Tommy and he recently passed away. Now I’m here to show other pups love as well. I work a full time job. Monday - Friday I’m free after 5pm. On weekends I’m free all day to watch over your little one. I love being around doggos & cats. I hope to meet your little one soon! I’ll treat your dog or cat as if it was mine. Unconditional love and affection is what they love and need. I’m excited to meet them!
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals from spiders to pitbulls- my family’s had a lot of pets over the years! I adore long walks, so if your pet has a lot of energy, I’ll make sure they’re tired out by the end of the day :) I’m starting college next week, so I’ll have tons of free time for your pets! I don’t have a lot of classes since I finished all my pre reqs in high school :) Depending on the details of your pet, I’ll make sure they have the care they need- whether that includes administering medicine, keeping up with energetic pups, or playing fetch for three hours straight until they get tired :)
About: I am a HUGE dog lover. There isn't one dog I don't love and I think there isn't one dog that doesn't love me. I wish I could just carry treats around for all the doggies I see throughout my day. I'll care for your dog like it's one of the two I have at home. I love going on walks with my two pups, in the past I've had two boxers and I currently have a Yorkshire terrier and a Chocolate Yorkie, Braxton and chip which whom I love very much. ! I love playing with them on a daily base and going out for walks. I'm sure your dog and I will be best friends after our first walk and play date.

Charlie was great with both Scott (cat) and Jamie (dog). He took great care of them while I was on vacation and they both loved him. Charlie did exactly what I had asked and he was never late. Great communication and lots of photos of my boys. I will definitely book again in the near future.

Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Devora is the absolute best. She always keeps us updated about what happened during Cherry's walk. I know our girl is always well taken care of whenever we book her. We appreciate your time, patience, and dedication so much. I truly wouldn't book with anyone else!

Charlie was wonderful with my two dogs. Could tell they really took to him to and enjoyed their walks. They can be very reactive to other dogs but he was keen in navigating that challenge, and ensuring everyone’s safety (they’re giant love bugs at home/with people. Just don’t get along with other dogs). Would definitely recommend him if you need a walker. He has my full trust.

Daniel was great with Rawyce. He really understands high energy dogs and met him exactly where he’s at. Rawyce got most of his energy out, played tug of war (his absolute favorite), and Daniel even walked him an extra 15 minutes, which I really appreciated. He was attentive, patient, and genuinely comfortable handling a big, energetic dog, which is huge for me. Rawyce came back happy and relaxed, and that tells me everything I need to know. Definitely looking forward to booking with Daniel again.
