About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, starting with my two beloved black Cocker Spaniels; a brother and sister from the same litter. For six years, I cared for them daily, ensuring they were well exercised, happy, and healthy. This experience taught me how to handle different temperaments, provide consistent care, and build strong bonds with dogs. I bring that same love and dedication to every dog I care for, ensuring safe, fun, and personalized walks tailored to their needs. I work as security for a private preschool for 6 hours 5 days a week so I’ve got too much extra time on my hands! Haha In both my home and my client’s home, I ensure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For dogs, I provide regular walks, playtime, and follow their feeding and potty schedules. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box care, and engaging playtime. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs, maintaining their routine and providing plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.
“Marcos was an incredible dog walker. He came on time, was communicative, was super gentle with Peanut, and was really trustworthy. I highly recommend him. It will be him many many times in the future. Thank you very much Marcos!”
“He’s very flexible and helpful! I just moved into a new building that he was familiar with so not only did he help me with the pup, he helped me with the new spot as well! Above and beyond ?”
About: I have routinely walked dogs. I have cat sat many times, from dropping in to boarding. I really want a pet myself right now so I’m just happy to spend time with your furry friend I’m working from home and willing to be flexible. Happy to do mornings or nights and weekends. My work is pretty flexible so just let me know I will be very respectful of your space if I enter and I live in a dog friendly apartment. Can be flexible based on what you want.
About: I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I work full-time in Soho and have a pretty flexible schedule. Although I don't have the same days off every week, I will update my schedule on the app accordingly. I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.
“I can't recommend Tess enough! For the past month, she's been walking Rupi, and it's been a truly wonderful experience. Tess is always punctual and keeps me updated, which I really appreciate. Every time I walk through the door, Rupi is just brimming with happiness, a clear sign of the great care Tess provides. It's such a relief knowing Rupi is always in such capable and caring hands.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since adopting my very first guinea pig at nine years old. I started getting really involved with pet care after my family moved to an apartment building with lots of dog owners and adopted a dog and cat when I was in high school. We adopted my dog, Shadow, at six months old and I worked on basic commands with him and potty training. I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters starting in high school and now continuing at the local cat shelter in the town where I go to college. Through all of this, I have experience taking care of heavily medicated dogs and cats. I’m home for the summer from college, so my hours are super flexible! My dog has gone through a lot of walking schedules since we first adopted him, so I’m used to early mornings and late nights for pup time. I make sure to be very respectful of any space I enter for pet sitting (including the pet’s!) I’ve worked with dogs and cats that are shy and need more distance and ones that are totally enthusiastic for another friend, and I’m happy to be there for either kind of pet!
“Blaze was confused at the hand of at first because he thought I was going to walk . Once Thomas took over he was amazing with Blaze. Blaze was excited and very happy and totally forgot about me.”
“Kate was great with my dog! Kept me updated throughout their walk and brought her to the dog park:) Definitely recommend!”
“He was so patient with my guy and took lots of great photos showing what u good time they had. I would love to have Ray back any time and so would Saint!”
About: For my whole life, my family has had dogs. In my opinion, having a furry friend makes just about everything better. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of my own family dogs, Coco Chanel & Rory, and providing care for friends’, neighbors’, and family dogs. I am confident I can provide excellence service and make sure your pets have everything they need! I am currently prepping to go to grad school in the fall so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets! Weekdays & weekends are open for whenever works best for you. I am responsible & thoughtful to ensure that the utmost care is taken in your home and with your pet. Additionally, I look forward to communicating on what works best for you!
“Olivia was great at walking Ziggy! She was very punctual and flexible with our schedule, which changed a few times while we were away on vacation. I’d highly recommend Olivia!”
“Took care of my dog on super short notice, was always available for communication and had instant chemistry with Koda. Would absolutely recommend”
“Lauren has been so amazing walking nova for me! She is very reliable and trustworthy and has been really flexible with my schedule which is much appreciated!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and those of family and friends for many years. I have gained experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, and those from puppies to seniors. I also have experience with very nervous pets, as my own dog is a rescue with a lot of anxiety around new people, so I understand that that process can be slow. I work part time (Tuesdays-Thursdays every week) so that leaves a lot of free time on the remaining days to care for your animal friends. I also am comfortable doing early morning or night time walks if needed. I am comfortable traveling all around Manhattan or Brooklyn to pick up your pets for walks or pet sitting. I also am willing to travel with them to nearby parks for long walks or play time outside.
“Morgan did an amazing job with our dog. I've already scheduled my next house-sitting. I truly recommend her!”
“Mollie is very caring and attentive! Overall wonderful with our dog and would highly recommend.”
“Tessa was great. She went above and beyond to make sure that my fur baby was taken care of. Got updates on her walks, and she was even kind enough to bring in my newspapers! Would definitely recommend and book again.”
About: Hi! My name is Cassidy. I have had cats my entire life. I learned to love and take care of animals (not just cats) from a very young age. During my pet sitting career, I have helped with medicating cats and dogs, including administering pills and assisting with kidney fluids. I often house sit overnight for pets and make sure to get up with them in the morning to start taking care of their needs straight away. I've worked with a consistent clientele for years, and I’m so happy to have started gaining a steady flow of regular clients since my move to NYC :) I’m always excited to add new furry friends to my life too!! My availability is flexible! I own my own pet sitting business, so this is my bread and butter of life. I am willing to discuss any times and dates to see what we can work out together. I take the utmost care coming into your home to keep the animals comfortable and safe. I am attentive to your pet's needs, and I make sure I provide the highest quality care for your animals. I take them in as my own and welcome them with an abundance of love and attention. I also have experience being a house cleaner, so I understand the importance of keeping a clean and organized space for you and your animals. I take care to leave your home spic and span for when you come back!
“Jonathan took great care of my girl Luna while I was out of town, they went on some great walks and he was very good about sending pics and updates. I will absolutely book again and would recommend him without hesitation.”

Asabi C.
“Asabi has been taking care of shiba inu Nuni since he was 4 months old. She would help me out with him by helping me train him and babysitting him while I'm gone to make sure he gets his walks. Asabi has been a big help in the development of Nuni and she has a natural nurturing way with dogs in general from me witnessing her with other dogs outside of my own.”

Sandra L.
“Sandra adores dogs. Never having them herself, she treats others’ lovingly as if they were her own. The simple sight of a dog makes her smile uncontrollably as she resists the urge to pet it. She watches dog videos for entertainment. One day when she’s fully settled, she hopes to take care of a dog or two (or three) of her own. She has experience cat sitting and walking dogs and will never cease to give pets the attention they deserve. Hailing from NYC, she’s also an expert at walking herself. She’d be a great caregiver!”
Amanda S.
“Amanda is my regular cat sitter and has been for a few years now! My cat, Scrappy is pretty grumpy (as most orange cats are) and we have had many issues with other cat sitters, but he LOVES Amanda! We always panic a bit if she’s unavailable (this is rare). She also brushes him for us since she knows it’s not my favorite thing to do. She is an absolute cat lover and you can tell in the way she cares for our Scrappy. I highly recommend her, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Cassidy assisted me many times with giving IV fluids to one of my cats. I gave the fluids while she provided the comfort. This had to be done twice a week. Cassidy was extremely reliable and punctual. She is a very obvious animal lover and has a natural way of getting to know pets which enables them to gain trust with her. Cassidy is very easy to communicate with, and I was very sad when she moved away from Raleigh!”
