Dog Walking Garment District

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve regularly pet sat for friends and family, including walking, feeding, playtime, and keeping dogs comfortable while their owners are away. Having cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and energy level. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your dog, so I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow any specific instructions to help your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I work as a personal trainer, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week and plenty of availability between clients. I also love staying active, going on walks, and exploring the city, so fitting dog walks and pet visits into my day comes naturally. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate morning, daytime, evening, and weekend care depending on your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I’ll treat every pet I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me while following their usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walking routes, playtime, and other preferences. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe and secure before entering or leaving your home and will treat your space with care and respect. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention while you’re away.

“Megan is the best! She’s super reliable, great with communication, and so sweet with Ladd. Ladd can be stubborn about walking in cold weather, and Megan has been incredibly patient and understanding with her. So grateful to have found Megan—highly recommend!”

About: Volunteered at an animal rescue for four years in high school, 2016-2020. Volunteered 1200 hours- cleaned cages, helped adoptions run smoothly, fed animals, worked with supervisor to keep rescue updated online, edited rescue's website, took pictures and posted them, and trained new volunteers. Also worked in a veterinary hospital for a couple months in the kennel department giving medication, cleaning cages, and ensured animals well being.

Make sure their eating, drinking, defecating as normal. If left with additional instructions, I follow them and make sure the animal is happy and healthy.

“Michael provided exceptional care, showing great sensitivity to my dog's needs during record-low temperatures. If you're looking for someone thoughtful and reliable, he is the one to call.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and an experienced pet owner. I currently have a 5-year-old rescued cat and a 1-year-old dog, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I enjoy spending time with pets through walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions and routine closely. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and extended stays. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own 5-year-old cat and 1-year-old dog. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, medication, and daily routines carefully. I always prioritize safety, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship.

About: I grew up in Santa Fe with two cats and a dog, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. That’s over a decade of feeding schedules, medication routines, long walks, and figuring out what makes a nervous animal relax. I’ve always found my way to a pet’s heart, whether that’s a puppy who won’t sit still or a senior who just wants company on the couch. Now I’m a student in Manhattan with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks and drop-ins when most people are stuck at work. I’ll send photos after every visit so you know your pet is happy. I’m currently taking classes online over the summer, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and be available for walks, check-ins, and pet care throughout the day. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and make sure they stay on their usual routines while their owners are away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I care for pets in your home, so my job is to leave everything exactly as you keep it. I follow your feeding amounts, your leash and harness setup, your litter routine, and any rules about furniture, doors, or windows. I confirm the door is locked and the cat is accounted for before I leave every single time. On walks I keep dogs leashed the whole way, avoid dog to dog contact unless you tell me it’s fine, and stay away from crowded blocks with a nervous dog. I send a photo and a short update after each visit so you know what happened while you were out.

About: I grew up caring for my three dogs (Prince, Sophie, and Teddy), so I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and needs. I’ve also pet sat for years, including pet sitting a busy household with eight cats! I’m patient, attentive, and truly treat every pet like family. I work full-time remotely with just a few short meetings each day, so I’m home and able to give pets lots of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. After business hours, I’m very flexible, which makes overnight care, evenings, and weekends easy to accommodate I treat every pet like they’re my own! I stick closely to their normal routine (e.g. feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meds, and lots of cuddles!). I keep spaces clean, send regular updates/photos, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away so you can relax.

“Lane showed up for a very late notice walk and was great with timing and responsiveness, and had been a reliable and trustworthy walker for my (very old) dog Peanut. Peanut loves the walks, comes back tired out from a good walk and happy. Highly recommend!”

“We have had many wonderful walkers for Oscar, however, Kylie is the absolute best dog walker we have ever had. She is extremely dependable and provides excellent care for our boy. She is hardworking and the hills around our neighborhood or atmospheric river storms do not slow her down. Our sweet boy adores her and so do we.”
