Dog Walkers in Far Rockaway, NY

About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on a sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs where I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet. Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. My work schedule varies, but I'm typically available after 8am. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to help make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I'll try my best to go about it.

“Ariella is amazing. I don’t have Cooper walked very often so he’s become “interesting” As he’s gotten older. Ariella took EXCELLENT care and had the patience of a saint when Cooper didn’t want to put his leash on! Thank you so much!”

“Rachel followed instructions very well and was so patient with Chimmy and Chammy. I am so grateful for her care and attention for my furbabies! Highly recommend her!”

About: Animal lover and bestie since before I could walk! My house growing up felt like a zoo with 10 cats, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and my older brother's snake. All those personalities shaped my love for every animal! I’m currently in school full-time at the Fashion Institute of Technology! When I’m not in classes, my schedule is pretty clear to fill up with all the fur babies! For clients, I follow their detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and any specific needs or routines. If they’re in my home, I have a separate room where I let the newcomer relax for a few hours before slowly introducing them to my friendliest animals first.

“Such a nice guy to have around! Choco enjoyed his walk”

About: I differentiate myself by offering specialized skills like administering medication, handling medical emergencies, and providing personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. Building trust through expertise and professionalism is key in communicating effectively in order to deliver the best possible care. Additionally, my own experience with my dog has also granted me the ability to understand and meet such needs as well as the emotional needs of any pet, and to establish a trusted relationship with both pet and owner! I am currently a per diem part-time nanny to a family in New Jersey while attending online college classes; however, the alignment of both schedules allows me the flexibility to include my passion for pet care! I am flexible and available most weekdays between 9AM-2PM and weekends between 10AM-7PM. My work experience in animal welfare in clinical and boarding facilities allows me to apply what I have learned into what I can do. As an overnight supervisor in a doggy daycare environment, pets are cared for by providing a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring their well-being, and offering socialization opportunities with other dogs. This includes activities such as playtime, walks, feeding, and monitoring their behavior whereas in a clinical setting, caring for pets involves monitoring vital signs, administering treatments, conducting medical procedures, and providing post-operative care. It also includes maintaining cleanliness, following strict protocols, and ensuring a comfortable environment for the animals. Although not as extensive in daycare or clinical facilities, in-home pet care allows for individualized attention where needed as needed without the external stressors of a constantly changing environment. In-home care involves the basics of pet welfare and includes providing food, water, exercise, and companionship. Additionally, administering medication, following specific care instructions, and maintaining a safe environment are crucial, all of which I can provide based on my background and experience.

About: I have been caring for dogs ever since I can remember and in particular I started caring for them professionally around 5 years ago. I have yet to meet a dog I could not handle, even ones that people would call big and scary. I believe this comes from a firmly held belief that if you treat a dog right, they will stand by you forever. I am experienced with dogs from young to old, small to large, and docile to super hyper. I attempt to accommodate any and all requests to the best of my abilities. In addition I would be more than happy to meet a prospective client free of charge before watching their pet. In general, I am available nightly starting at 7 PM except for Fridays where I am unavailable. Wednesday nights and the Saturday nights I am available from 9:30 PM and onwards. Sundays, I am available all day. In general, I do not watch dogs in my own home. In regards to the pet Owner’s home I do whatever I can to accommodate all safety requests and needs.

“I was very pleased with Daniel’s service! He was on time, reliable, and even available for a last-minute booking. He kept my dog’s routine exactly as I requested — walking, feeding, and cleaning up after him. My dog is usually very shy and has some anxiety around new people, but he warmed up to Daniel surprisingly fast. It was clear Daniel has a calm, caring approach that dogs respond well to. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy dog walker!”

I ensure their needs are met, from feeding and playtime to adhering to any specific requirements.
