Dog Walking Garment District

About: We are a husband & wife dog lover duo, with a 10lb maltipoo furbaby, Chance, who are specialized in taking care of small dogs - ensuring they feel loved, comfortable and entertained while you’re away. From scenic and sensorial walks & fetch sessions by the West Side Highway to cozy cuddle sessions at home, we provide a balanced environment for your dog to feel at home. Our experience includes taking care of small breeds with various temperaments, so we’re confident we can handle your pup’s specific needs! Our dog, Chance, is an 10lb maltipoo who loves other small dogs. We’ve taught him various tricks like sit, stay, paw, and ‘bang bang’, and we love sharing that knowledge with other dogs. We adapt our care to each dog’s personality, ensuring they get the right balance of mental stimulation and relaxation. Whether it’s playtime, puzzle games, or cuddles, your dog will feel right at home! We also provide dedicated daily walking services, giving your pup structured exercise, fresh air, and gentle leash guidance tailored to their specific energy level and pace! Our daily routine is pretty relaxed, which allows us to dedicate time to caring for dogs. Danny's work schedule is hybrid and Karen is fully remote! We walk Chance in the morning and evening for 30 minutes. The afternoon walks are 30–90 minutes along the water on the West Side Highway. We can adjust the walk length based on your dog’s needs, whether it's a quick stroll or a longer adventure! We live in a 600 square foot 1-bedroom apartment where your dog will feel right at home. Your pup can sleep with us in the same room or right outside, depending on the pup's preference. We can also set up a pee station if needed, though you’d just need to bring it as Chance is fully potty trained to go outside.

About: I bring a background in equine therapy and being in tune with animals for over 20 years. I'm skilled at reading body language, understanding stress and anxiety, and adjusting my approach to each individual pet's needs. I have hands-on experience with puppies and with dogs who struggle with separation anxiety, so I know how to build trust, create structure, and help them feel calm and secure. I work from home, so your pets will get consistent, attentive company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. It also means my schedule is flexible to accommodate your timings. I will treat every pet with patience and affection, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for the whole time they're with me.

About: I treat every dog like my own, taking the time to understand their personality, needs and little quirks while making every walk fun and safe! I am available most of the time with a flexible schedule. I also work part time but I’m happy to coordinate around your pup’s needs! I provide a safe, clean and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine and individual needs. I give them consistent attention, supervision, exercise, and care

About: Originally from Chicago so I’m to cold winters + hot summers and will make sure your dog is comfortable through it all! I’ve had a dog for over 10 years and love teaching her tricks/enjoying the outdoors with her! I’m a grad student at Columbia and have a consistent schedule with lots of gaps between classes so I can easily work out a schedule that works for us both! I love dogs of any size and am excited to meet yours! If there are any special requests or particularities about your dog, just let me know!

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.

“Andrew is truly a caring and exceptional sitter. His manner, attitude, and sense of responsibility are top notch. I don’t say these things lightly, and truly mean it when I say it. Me and Simba are so thankful to him for all the love and attention he gives him.”

“Megan was phenomenal! She took our dog on a walk with very short notice and he loved it. We would highly recommend Megan to anyone, especially people with new dogs (like ourselves), as she made us feel very comfortable and handled our dog well. Thank you Megan!”

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.

“Evelyn had been walking my dog since October, twice a week. She is great. Evelyn is really good with him! He can be apprehensive about strangers- she was patient and kind during their initial meetings. Evelyn communicates well and is reasonably flexible with our schedule - if something comes up. Highly recommend!”
