Dog Walking Gramercy

“I was in a bind because my Dogwalker called in sick at that last minute and Nikki & Chris stepped in and took Maggie for her walks!! They were so attentive and kind, I’d definitely consider using them again! Highly recommend!!”

About: DOG EXPERIENCE: I have been a supportive and loyal dog auntie for 7+ years to many of my closest friends! I have brought their dogs to my home, boarded at theirs, and provided ad hoc walking assistance and play sessions whenever needed for them. CAT EXPERIENCE: I am a lifelong cat parent! I had 2 cats growing up, both of which lived 10+ years with me in my childhood home! After moving to New York, my roommate and I co-parented her cat during our time together until she whisked him away to his permanent vacation home in SF. After moving into my own apartment, I adopted a 1 year old Tuxie who was FELV+. Caring for a cat with special health issues taught me how to be deeply attuned to appetite changes, litter habits, hydration, anxiety, etc. I also developed special skills such as administering various types of medications. While he unfortunately succumbed to his illness last year, I was able to adopt 2 three month old kitten siblings from the same shelter! I have learned through them the dynamics between male vs. female behaviors, post-surgery care with their spay and neuter, and navigating their growth spurts and the varying energy levels of young kittens. I have grown to truly understand what cats need most to thrive in their environments: routines, consistent play time and enrichment, reassurance, and just someone to feel fully safe with. What really drives me to pursue pet sitting is that I have had past experiences with sitters looking after my own pets that have not been satisfying, and since then I’ve been committed to providing support that is punctual and to a tee to the instructions given. I am primarily available on weekends Friday - Sunday at any given time needed starting from 6AM to as late as 11PM. There is flexibility on Mondays through Thursdays post 6PM based on the service required I understand how crucial it is to abide by your pets’ regular routine to a tee. New people are already anxiety-inducing and stressful for them as it is! When it comes to my own cats, I feed them 3x a day by my own hand, with snacks set up on an auto feeder twice a day. Cats need at least 30 mins of enrichment and novelty a day, so I typically play with them and introduce something new in the mornings and at night right before bed. I scoop their litter box 3x a day as well. I can also assist with any grooming needs such a nail clipping, teeth brushing, etc. For dogs, I have always walked them 3x a day for my friends and given at least 10 mins of playtime post walks.

“Kathy is awesome!!! She has been walking my dog Muffin regularly. Super responsive, trustworthy, sends great photo updates and conscious of all my requests.”

About: Hi, my name is Rae! I have two dogs at home: one is an english labrador puppy and the other is an older, border collie chow mix. That being said, I can work with both calmer dogs and dogs with a lot of energy. I have owned dogs since I was a little girl and have always been willing to take them around the block or on longer hikes. I have worked at adoption centers for puppies and kittens. I can house-sit your dog(s), pick up after them, play with them, walk them, and even run them no matter the breed of your furry friend. I am available on both weekdays and weekends, and I look forward to meeting your amazing best friend! I currently work part time, and my schedule is sparatic. That being said, I can work most evenings and some weekdays. I will modify my schedule on the app accordingly every week. Your dog’s happiness is a major priority to me. I will bring treats and hold the leash with both hands. Of course, I will pick up after the dog and take it for as long of a walk as requested.

About: I grew up with pets from cats and dogs all the way to lizards, rodents, and fish! I have 15 years of experience petting sitting, training, and senior care! I’m a grad student trying to get more time with some lovable pets while I’m working on my degree! I’m familiar with the city and open to travel around :) I’m free most of the day to care for any pets for any amount of time! My grad classes are are few nights a week for about 2 hours 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur baby! I have cared for pets all the way to farm animals. I can care for newborn all the way up to senior care. My priority is making sure your pet has a great time with me and they are taken care of with the love they deserve!

“Mary was fantastic with Nova! She followed all of my instructions and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Nova was well cared for and in great hands. I would absolutely book Mary again.”

About: Hi my name is Jennifer! I've had pets my whole life. But I have also made myself available to help out my friends and neighbors when they are away. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. I love all animals! So I am sure I will love your pets as well. I'm currently working part-time while I am doing a residency at NYU. I have plenty of time to help you during the evenings or on weekends! I prefer to care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable. But I also love to go out for walks once I know your pet trusts me!

“Perfect!”

“Lauren has been an absolute godsend for Rupi and me. She’s been walking Rupi for over 2 months. She's incredibly reliable, always on time, and fantastic at communicating. Rupi is consistently in the best mood when I get home, which tells me she's had a great walk and is in excellent hands. I never have a single worry when Lauren is caring for my dog - I couldn't be happier with her service!”

“Kennedy is absolutely amazing! This was her first time walking my 2-year-old dog, Rupi, and I couldn't be happier. She was perfectly on time, highly communicative, and took Rupi on a wonderful walk. It's such a relief to find someone so dependable and caring. I will definitely be booking Kennedy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great walker! Thank you Kennedy 🫶🏼”

About: I’m very conscientious to an acute degree. I’m sensitive towards the fur child’s comfort while also being able to establish firm boundaries. I want the best for them. I’m currently on semester break for college, so I have open availability! I can do drop ins, dog walking and house sitting. For the Fall, I’m available after 2pm on Mon & Wed, 8am-3pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and all day on the weekends I’m very attentive with the pets I take care of. I always check intermittently on their well-being to make sure that they’re okay, especially if we haven’t established familiarity yet.
