Dog Walking In Fort Totten-Upper Northeast

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“I was nervous about using the app but I am so glad that I did! Felicia has been fantastic! My dog is happy and well exercised. He enjoys the time with Felicia and she takes good care of him. He is a big somewhat difficult dog but she has been able to click with him and I’m super grateful for that. I highly recommend Felicia!”

“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“Leo has been taking our dog on midday walks twice a week for the past few months. He is unfailingly reliable, communicative and responsive. He lets us know if he is going to be even a few minutes later than usual, even though our dog is low-maintenance and large-bladdered! Leo has given us lots of advance notice on the rare occasion when he was not available for a regular walk (e.g., at the holidays). And he's an all-around nice guy. It gives us great comfort to know that our Jake is getting such excellent care.”

“So happy to have Alison walk our dog. She comes twice a week for afternoon walks and Mello has a lovely time and a nice long walk. She loves to see Alison and I’m so grateful we engaged with her.”

“Best dog walker ever!! I was so worried as this was my first dog walking experience with Nox, and Selamawit not only made me feel good about the walks but I could tell Nox was super happy with her. I can't wait to use her services again! I'll definitely be a repeat customer ??”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I provide reliable walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of affection to keep pets happy and comfortable. Safety, routine, and positive reinforcement are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra exercise, medication, or quiet companionship. Your pet will be treated like family :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have open availability to provide flexible and reliable care. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays throughout the week. In the future, my schedule will shift to three days a week, but I will always keep my availability updated and communicate clearly in advance. My goal is to remain dependable and consistent so pets can maintain their routines without disruption. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks or litter care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure the home is kept clean and secure, and I closely monitor pets for any changes in behavior or health. I also provide regular updates and photos so clients have peace of mind while they’re away.

“George had a great walk and extra time outdoors while I was out for a full day. Thomas responded to George’s needs as an older dog sensitive to hot weather. He loved getting out for fresh air and I got a lot of cute photos!”

“Channel Arron time and took Poppy for a walk even though there is still so much snow. Most of the sidewalks are shoveled in our neighborhood but it is still a challenge. I have decided to book Chennrl for regular walks 4 days a week.”

“Thank you so much for dropping in to meet Darwin. He seems very comfortable with you. And thank you for agreeing to house sit last minute / arrange to have your friend, also on Rover, cover the time that you could not! A life saver!”

About: Dogs bring a sort of warmness no other companion can bring. Since I was 12 years old I took care of my German Shepard while my mom was a away for work.Furthermore, I use to volunteer at animal shelters and assist with feeding and grooming. Since I work too often and have a small apartment, I can not have my pet at this time. Being able to take care of others companion makes me feel as though I am fulfilling my own passion. Bless their paws Bless our hearts. I have three days off from work. I am off from Thursday -Saturday. I am new to the area and have a lot of free time. I live in a downtown area right by the police station. The only service I offer as of now would be dog walking. I currently own no pets

“Danielle was great! She accepted our emergency dog walking request made on the way heading out of town. She sent photos of our dog at each walk as well as food and water bowls as appropriate. Hoping to work with Danielle again in the future!”

“Baron has so amazing with our pup Sadie! He has been super reliable and communicative about upcoming walks, and helpful when we’ve had to change our schedule. His pictures of our pup during their walks are absolutely hilarious and we always know he’s taking good care of her. Sadie is always clamoring at our front door on walk days, so we know she’s been very happy too!”

“Noah has been an exceptional dog walker/sitter. He has been there when we need him and is always an amazing guest in our home.”

About: My family has had both dogs and cats for my entire life. I grew up taking care of animals, but in more recent years I’ve dedicated my time to animal care. I’ve always had a deep compassion for animals and I love spending time with them. I go on a lot of long walks in my spare time- as I love to be out doors, so there will be not shortage of walks around here. I’ve been around all different kinds of dogs. I know how to handle both anxious and reactive dogs- I’m comfortable with any breed or size. I do have an affinity for cats. My family always had cats, and since I’ve lived on my own I’ve always had two of my own. Because of this, I have a lot of knowledge and patience when it comes to cats! I currently only work part time. I’m in the hospitality industry and I work nights, so if I am unavailable it is typically from the hours of 6pm-11pm. If you’re interested in overnight stays, I can normally adjust my hospitality schedule a little bit depending on your comfortability. Feel free to reach out and ask, as I do love a sleepover and am willing to make it work! My two favorite hobbies and reading and being outside. I’m happy to go on long walks with your dog. I’m also happy to spend time inside making sure your animals have company and companionship. I don’t have an aversion to litter boxes so I’m happy to scoop the cat litter once a day. I scoop my own cats litter every single day so it’s nothing new to me. Im happy to help get energy out, and also spend time relaxing and enjoying each other’s company. I always want to prioritize trust and patience when it comes to your furry companions!
