Dog Walking Grand Central

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and have been caring for animals for family, friends, and neighbors for as long as I can remember. I’m experienced with kittens, adult pets, and senior or medically complex animals, including providing around-the-clock hospice care for my own beloved cat after his ataxia diagnosis. I currently share my home with Leon, my one-year-old cat, and Chicken, my 26+ year-old African Grey parrot—both rescues (Chicken was found abandoned and taken in) and very loved. I love caring for pets—cats, dogs, and birds of all types and sizes—and I’m happy to welcome other small animals too, just let me know! I treat every pet with patience, attention, and affection, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind. I work from home and my schedule is flexible. My goal is always to schedule any services based on the needs of you and your pet(s). I will always follow any instructions on how you prefer your pet to be cared for. Otherwise, I will always care for them in the safest and healthiest way available. The same way I care for my own pets. Leon is an indoor kitty with unlimited access to fresh air and sunshine from his lounging cots attached to our large windows. He loves his wet food, and his meals are on a “flexible” schedule, and no all day grazing. He receives lots of playtime with his humans and more independently. Of course, he gets brushed, not always with a happy purr, but he gets as much as he will tolerate.

About: I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up with a small menagerie of pets. I also took care of my neighbors' dogs when they traveled. When I was 13, I started volunteering at my local animal shelter, where I learned how to handle cats and dogs with different levels of socialization. As an adult, I adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety and later managed his other health issues as a senior. I also rescued a feral kitten from the street and then foster failed with another kitten. So if your pet is a rescue and/or nervous around strangers, I will be sure to treat them with extra patience and care. I have a fairly flexible schedule at the moment, so I'm available for both one-time and recurring care for your pets. I would love to make their care part of my routine! It is important that your pet feels safe and like their routine is minimally interrupted while in my care. While I may be a new face, I will be sure to stick to your instructions regarding their routine.

About: I’ve always had a dog in the family growing up so i have experience walking and taking care of them. I love Animals with a passion and would be happy to walk with your precious family members because dogs are family members as well I’m currently working and my schedule changes from morning shifts to night shifts but i would be able to work around it with a heads up. i have a dog of my own and walk her mornings and nights as it is so it wouldn’t be hard to find time I would care for pets the way you would care for a child. i have a secure place to have doggy’s in my home. But for the most part i will be walking with your fur babies

“Natasha is a very kind and caring person, she genuinely loves dogs and cats and they love her back. she is a dream pet sitter, reliable a great communicator, easy to talk to, trustworthy. Coming home after a surgery, I needed someone who could be calm and respectful when picking up my little guy for a walk, and she was all of that. Her sweetness, and respect made me a fan, and we are missing her after almost a week of her kindness.”

About: My three dogs live with my parents in another country, forcedly. I bathed them myself, cut them and gave them injections if treatment was necessary. The older dog gave birth to puppies, and I raised them. I treat dogs like family members. I temporarily have free time due to moving. There is time for proper care and attention for your pet. Additionally, additional care, hygiene, etc. can be discussed. My daughter is 16 years old, she also loves dogs, she will be able to walk your pet, and will also teach some commands at your request. If the owner wishes, your pet can be given a bath.

“Great companion for my German shepherd!”

About: My name is Andrea, I am 39 years old and I work full time at home. I have a 15 year old daughter and we previously had 3 pets, who have since died of old age. I have taken in many animals over the years and love for them like my own. The positive thing about working from home is that the dogs are rarely alone. I can assure you that your dogs with be very well cared for while you are away! :) About this sitter: Along with pet sitting in my home, I would also be happy to care for your pets in your home as well. Whatever you need, I am here to make this experience the best for your dogs , and to ensure they are cared for and happy! About my yard I live in a nice walking friendly neighborhood and will take your pets on lots of nice walks. I am home all day working from my computer, and will bring your pets out every few hours and play with them throughout the day. I work from home and am there with them all day. I am very active so I do take a lot of walks with your dogs and can also bring them to the park if you’d like! I have a 3 bedroom apartment and your pets are free to roam in all areas. On walks, they will be on a leash at all times and I typically walk away from other people/pets so that there is no potential problem.

“Alexis is by far the best walker I’ve ever used. I have a cat that I walk on leash and she can be super fearful of new people. She’s never let anyone other than myself or Alexis put her into her harness. That’s when I knew this walker was a keeper. Will gladly rebook (and tip) anytime!”

About: Since childhood, I’ve always had pets. My mom taught me to love and care for them, and to see them not just as animals but as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, but my child goes to daycare, so I have time to take care of and walk your pets. And I’m flexible I stay at home all day, so I can give your child my full attention—playing, cuddling, and doing everything they need to feel loved and not miss you too much while you’re away.

About: I was the go to pet sitter in my old neighborhood and loved every second! Now that I moved to the big city I want to get back into it. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also used to compete in dog agility competitions so I know a decent amount about training/ handling. I also have experience with Cats, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, and cows! I truly enjoy the opportunity to care for all types of animals and I'm very patient. I have a gentle approach but a tough will. I currently do gig work for film and part time teaching of after school arts programs so I'm very free most of the time :) I am very true to your care guide! However you like your pet cared for that's what I'll do. On top of that, I like to spend time with the animal as much as I can both for their benefit and mine. I give lots of affection and if allowed, treats!
