Dog Walking in East New York

About: My family had a black lab growing up. Ever since, allergies in the household have stopped me from having my own pets, but not from caring for others- including for multiple pets on long overnight trips away. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule fits around yours! As a videographer, I sometimes have in-person shoots, but my editing time is very flexible. I’m experienced with a variety of safety features, including pet gates, crates, leashes, and more. I am also experienced with home alarms and camera systems. I have also cared for a cat that was allowed to roam freely in the neighborhood during the day with a GPS.

“Chuck is my dog’s absolute favorite walker in the city. She is always so excited to see him that she starts jumping up and down. He is very reliable, great communication, follows directions, flexible with scheduling, always on time. Highly recommend!”

“I can't thank Shanna enough for the incredible job she did walking my dog while I was out of the country. She was reliable, friendly, and clearly has a great rapport with dogs. My dog was happy and well-cared for, and Shanna provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker!”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals and am extremely comfortable around them. I have frequently house-sat with animals as well as boarded in my own home. I love long, frequent walks and play time. You will receive lots of pictures of your best friend :) I currently work part time, and remote from my home. I am an early riser and love long walks and time outdoors. I have pretty much open availability. I have a 3rd floor apartment home open for your pet to roam and will follow your guidelines about furniture. I will be home to keep them company nearly all hours. No fenced in yard but I love long, frequent walks and playtime. I can crate them if needed as well.

About: Since I was a child, I would feed and provide shelter to the stray cats and dogs in my neighborhoods. I had a sweet Shih Tzu in my early years, named Precious, and she has since passed. Since then, I’ve dog sat for friends, taken them on walks, and fed them at appropriate hours. Dogs are some of the sweetest creatures out there, and companionship comes easy. As of right now, I work part time, and am almost always available on the weekends. My schedule is quite flexible and I never work later than 8pm. I’m also currently not in school, so there’s a lot more free room. I can provide whatever you feel your dog needs to be comfortable. I understand the importance of routine when it comes to animals, and how each dog has a different personality.

“My sweet girl loves going on walks with Gabriella”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets who are like my children since I’ve been born. Having 2 dogs, a Shiba Inu and Poodle and multiple cats that have been in and out of my life has given me the proper confidence and experience in pet care. I recently took in two very sick kittens without their mother and raised them to perfect health, one that lives in my home with my other cat that I adopted from my friend who could not care for her. I overall have a grand love for animals, pets, and any little 4 legged baby that I see. I casually take care of my cousins male cat when they go on vacation alongside my other two cats. I can confidently say that my love for pets has shaped me into an amazing care taker for our little best friends. Pet care fits into my daily routine usually in the afternoon, but can be done in the morning and night as well. I know it’s important to feed your pets at well and scheduled times in order to take care of their health and I respect any schedules or rules owners have concerning their pets. I’ll care for your pets in your home with the uttermost love and care that anyone can. I respect all schedules, rules, routines, and more needed to make sure your pet is comfortable and healthy. I pay great attention to my pets and will towards yours to try and solve any issues they might have or take care of any needs they may have.

About: Available for - Dog walking I grew up in Brooklyn, and my childhood was a delightful chaos of cats, dogs, parrots- We even had a koi pond in our backyard. Fast forward to today, my home is blessed with the delightful presence of my two cherished cat babies. Their names are Smokey (grey) and Luna (black) and they hold the key to my heart. My cats have taught me so much about myself and about the nature of living things. Because of them I am more disciplined, compassionate, and happy :) I am able to provide a home full of love, fun, attention, and two well behaved (Get along with cats and dogs) furry companions. (Smokey & Luna) I am currently in school and have a lot of time to give my animals and your animals physical attention. When I am with my own pets I am usually cuddling with them and working on an assignment, preparing their meals for the week since I feed them non-processed food, or training them to learn tricks such as sit, or turn around. I always make sure to pay attention to my animals body language as it can tell you a lot about how the animal is feeling. Animals are like people and they also need to build trust. They are also unique and each animals has it's tailored form of care which you will let me know about.

“Asher did a wonderful job watching our dog, Hendrix! Hendrix is sometimes not the most comfortable around strangers but we knew he was in good hands with Asher and really warmed up to him. Asher was always very responsive and kept us posted on updates. We will definitely ask Asher to dog sit again.”

About: I have been petsitting since I was a kid, for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with a range of house hold pets, but mostly with dogs and cats. I grew up with pets and currently have one spoiled cat. I help support my family's 7 cats and 6 dogs when I am able to and asked to. I make sure your fur baby is as cared for as my own, and I offer consistent updates about your pet's care and well-being since I understand the stress of being gone from your loved one! I work on many creative pursuits from home while volunteering my time outside the house. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate complex pet care throughout the day. So I am looking to offer pet care in my free time for my communities! I prioritize Morticia's health and well being every day. She gets 3 measured meals of wet food a day, her litter box gets cleaned out daily, she gets her teeth brushed, her fur brushed, and lots of play time and snuggles. You can rest assured that I would treat any critter with the same love, affection, and attention that I do for Morticia. I have enough experience with dogs and cats to understand their body language, and do my best to avoid upsetting them. I am told I would be great with horses because of my calming presence and words with animals.

About: Since moving to NY 10 years ago, I’ve had many dog companions by way of my roommates! I love coming home to a wagging tail and a nose pushing the food bowl across the living room, and I never mind cleaning up mess when a dog gets to excited to wait for a walk, or has an upset stomach cause their human went away for the weekend. My most recent dog roommate Maxine, has been spending her weekends in my care, where she takes her probiotics and gets pilled every morning, so I’ve got experience there too. I’m a freelance performer/educator with a flexible and adaptable schedule. It’s easy for me to get on a train or bus to come to you, and I’m happy to cross town multiple times a day for feeding/cuddles/playtime/bathroom time. I’m also able to house sit while clients are away. I will come into your home & keep it set up as your pet’s safe space. My intention is to adapt seamlessly into routines that are already set, while building a relationship of trust and play with all pets.
