“Jasmine is EXCEPTIONAL! On time, responsive, sweet and so good with Sophie. Jasmine makes sure Sophie gets to make the most out of her time outside with treats and lots of positive reinforcement.”
“It’s always such a pleasure to see and read what my little fur baby was up to while I was at work. Tedy is excellent at keeping me informed and keeping my Phoebe happy.”
“Yuni is a great dog walker! She is very nice, calm, and responsible - she shows up on time and sends photo and video updates during each walk. Will definitely contribute working with her.”
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.
“Laura is great!! She always sends lots of pics and updates while she’s walking my Mya. She is a true animal lover which makes me so comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She also is very flexible and will always try to fit walks in and work with my schedule.”
About: I've cared for a variety of pets over the years—including my own cat for 10 years, a guinea pig for 2, a parakeet, and a hamster. I've also looked after my parents' fish and my brother's Husky, and have completed house sits for both cats and dogs during my travels. I have a flexible schedule and live nearby, so I can easily accommodate your pet’s daily routine and provide reliable, attentive, loving care every day. Hi, I’m Betty, a native New Yorker and lifelong animal lover. I’m clean, friendly, and dependable, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. As a homeowner and former pet owner who had relied on house sitters for my own pets, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your home and animals. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’ll treat your pets with patience and kindness and respect your home as if it were my own.
“Charlie was great with my foster puppy, Joey! He is very communicative and kept me informed about his arrival times for the two days I requested walks. My puppy got adopted, but I will be going back to Charlie when I get my next pup!”
“Qilin was great! She was very accommodating of my senior dog and spent plenty of time with him, and was great about sending updates about how he did. I was very happy with Qilin and would absolutely book her to walk Winston again!”
About: I've spent years walking dogs and have also looked after friends' pups during trips, so I know how to read a dog and keep them comfortable in any situation. I always come prepared with water and treats, and I pay close attention to each dog's energy and limits. If a smaller dog needs to cool down and rest in the shade, that's exactly what we do. I'm starting law school in August, so this summer I'm wide open and looking to spend as much time outside as possible — your dog is the perfect excuse. Once classes begin, walking dogs is honestly my ideal way to decompress between sessions. Whether it's a long summer morning walk or a midday break from studying, I'll always show up ready to go. I don't offer in-home sitting, but safety on the walk is something I take seriously. If we pass another dog, I always move to the side, cross the street, or pick up smaller dogs if needed — whatever keeps your pup comfortable and out of a situation they didn't ask for.
“I have never used Rover before and was extremely nervous leaving my dog in the hands of a walker. However, Jennifer eased my mind, talked me through everything and even did a meet and greet with me and my dog before hand. You can tell she’s extremely experienced and takes good care of all animals in her possession. She came over walked, fed, and took pictures throughout her time with my dog. I will gladly use Jennifer again!”
“Marla was communicative and punctual. It’s hard to find someone to walk at night (totally understand) but Marla was up for the task and Snickers loved his walk with her! Would highly recommend.”
“We cannot say enough great things about Jake as a walker and a kind and thoughtful individual. Jake is a very responsible: always on time, follows directions and is very attentive to our growing puppy. Jake is proactive in communicating any potential issue that may need our attention and makes sound judgment calls in shortening walks should our puppy overheat due to hot and humid weather conditions. He is also very mindful to not let our puppy interact with strangers on their walks to prevent any potential issues. Jake is extremely respectful and truly cares about walking dogs.. We have used Jake for over 1 month 3x times a week and he has never let us down. He is highly recommended!!”
“Ronnie was super communicative and updated me after every walk. My pup is very picky with walkers but he walked well with Ronnie. Would definitely rebook her for walks.”
“Melanie is organized, reliable and professional--she treats pet care as a business, because it is her business. But she merges that professional approach with a genuine love for animals, friendly customer service, and considerable experience and deep knowledge of dog care. She was able to help out last-minute with three walks during a family emergency, and I never once had to worry about how my dogs were doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi!!! I’m Maya, and I have been around pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, and currently have two living at my house, and I love every bit of those fur balls. My friends and family have relied on me for staying in their homes, days at a time to pet sit several cats, and provide them with ample love and care. I find it important to give the proper care to each pet because they are all unique and have different needs and wants. Furthermore, I have experience with dog walking. Doggies need exercise and sunlight just like humans, and whenever my friends rely on me with their dogs, I provide the utmost care and attention for their pups. You can rest assured that your kitties and pups will be well-supervised, be safe, be comfortable, and most importantly, have a lot of fun!!! 🐶🐱💓 I am currently available at all times! I am currently on break in college and can help with all your pet care needs, especially during this holiday season! I unfortunately do not offer services in my own home, since I already have two lovely fuzzy boys, but I will work with you if need any services outside of my schedule!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I had a puppy as a child. I currently own a wonderful senior dachshund. I’ve spent my life walking, feeding, bathing, and playing with pups of all shapes and sizes. I make sure every dog I meet is happy and energized through walking and playing. I am a part-time working parent of a baby and a dachshund with a flexible schedule who is available on weekdays to walk your dog. I can come to your place to pick your pup up and can walk them as long as they need and can also feed, play, and provide company as needed.
“Kira took my dog for walks and she was excellent. She was always on time, responsive, and it was evident that she is a gentle person and very attentive with my dog as I accompanied her on the walks.”

We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diego was amazing with my dog, Chai! He was super punctual and brought him back right on time after exactly an hour, which I really appreciated. He also kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was at work.
Xiaoying was fantastic! Our dog loved her from the first meeting. She went above and beyond to walk him, even saying hello to our cat (who is usually afraid of new people). She was very professional, timely, and flexible with a couple of last-minute changes, and sent us plenty of pictures. We would definitely recommend her!
Diana is wonderful. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence (Cagney is a "Velcro" dog who spends a lot of time at home with my husband) and assessing our dog's needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and professional. She is punctual, and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney. Cagney looks forward to seeing her and she updates us on his progress during his walks as he becomes more accustomed to being with her. Five stars and much thanks to Diana!
