“Michelle was amazing with our energetic girl! She was always on time and gave good reports of wall activity. Can tell she really cares for dogs and appreciate her enthusiasm with a very excited dog!”

“Victoria was amazing! She was so caring and attentive, and provided lots of updates. We felt so calm knowing she was taking care of our pups! She really understood our needs when it came to their care and was just overall amazing”

“Lisa was great! She was very focused on learning every detail she could about Malcolm ahead of the walk, and even came to meet us before we confirmed. It was a nasty, cold rainy day and Lisa showed up on time, with a smile and ready to roll! We will definitely be seeing her again!”

“I can’t recommend Esperanza enough! She consistently goes above and beyond for my dog, Leo, taking excellent care of him with every walk. Whether it’s a regular walk or a last-minute request, Esperanza is always reliable and accommodating. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does. She even washes his food bowl before leaving! I’m so grateful to have found someone like her. Thank you for everything you do for Leo!”

About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
About: 8 Years of experience training my own large breed dog from puppyhood to senior. 2 Years professional dog handling and walking experience including but not limited to: mixed breeds, large and XL breeds, fearful dogs, dog-aggressive and/or high prey drive, heavy pullers, reactive dogs and more. What I offer- individualized approach to each dog I exercise, walk, and train as well as a engaging and collaborative approach to obedience training and exercise plans, and as I continue my education in the field of pet care, I am studying to become certified in dog training and nutrition. Currently, I am available to book dog walks, training sessions, and dog "outings" to aid in socialization and training of your canine family member. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available for several walks a day, of varying length and training sessions during/in addition to regular walks. I am also available to book an outing, where I would safely harness and safety belt your pet in my car to drive to different areas such as parks or beaches for hikes and longer walks etc. I am willing to travel for training sessions, have access to an owned and safe vehicle for transporting myself and your companion animal. I have experience in a variety of leashing methods, often preferring slip lead in addition to clip on either a flat or martingale collar or a well fitting harness for smaller breeds. I will assist with finding a collar or harness and sizing it appropriately for the comfort and safety and security of your dog.
About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I have always had cats and grew up with a dog, and I have adopted formerly feral cats as well as orphaned kittens and puppies, and I have fostered special needs animals. I lived on a small farm starting from the age of 5, so I have experience with various types of animals and love them all. I have taken care of puppies and kittens as well as older pets. I've always been told that I'm great with animals and wanted to go into animal care from a young age. I started my own petsitting business in 2023 and have loved getting to know so many different animals. I recently moved to New York and am excited to get know even more pets here! I have plenty of time during the day to spend time with your animals and give them all the care they need. I have open availability most days. I always want my clients to have peace of mind while they're away and treat all pets like they're my own. I'm always careful to follow instructions on how to best care for the pets, and my priority is always to keep them safe and happy. I don't board animals in my home, since I have a formerly feral cat who is easily scared.
About: I love all animals and treasure every opportunity I get to care for them. I am very dependable and hold their needs highly dedicating my self to keeping pets happy and secure. I am mostly open to walking and sitting pets in the early morning, afternoon and evenings during the weekdays. I'm also flexible on the weekends for onboarding and overnights. I am always on call so the owner feels secure. I make sure that pets have the right space for their needs and feel comfortable. Lastly, I make sure to always have the pets under my watch and that they are just as happy and healthy as they came if not more.
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since the age of 5. I've had three dogs: a shih-tzu, and two boxers. Let me tell you, after coming home from a long day of school, nothing made me happier than seeing my dogs charge at me for hugs and kisses as soon as I set foot in the house! Obviously, I have accrued much more responsibility with my pets as I've aged. I regularly feed, walk, and play with my pets. To say that I am comfortable around dogs would be an understatement! You can be completely relaxed and calmed knowing that your pets are in my care. I am also an honors student studying medicine at Hofstra University, Which requires large amounts of hard work and responsibility. I currently have school all week, so I will be free at least one day each weekend to care for your pet. Sometimes I have free time in the evenings during the week. What will probably happen is I will bring my study materials over with me, care for your pet as needed, and when they are catching up on a nap, I'll hit the books. When they wake up, it'll be all playtime for them again until they decide to snooze again. I will happily walk your pet, play with them for a while, feed them, hang out with them on the couch. I cannot board in my own home at the moment.
About: Hello! My name is Faris and I’m a college student looking to start making my own money. I have had a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve had a dog for two years and is his sole care taker. Besides that, i’ve sat animals for my aunts/uncles as well as a couple friends. Furthermore, i have experience in helping with people as well, as I have an uncle with down syndrome and throughout the pandemic I tutored him while I was in high school. I hope I can make a great addition to your loved one’s life! I’m currently studying at University as a business student, besides that I kind of don’t have anything else I want to pursue which leaves me with a lot of free time, especially in between and after classes. With this in mind, I thought dog-walking would be the most efficient way to fill in that time. I have a solo studio apartment with not much space in all honesty, but outside, leaves a lot of green spaces to walk your fur babies! Additionally, my school campus has a lot of spaces to take a nice stroll and to people-watch if you want your pet to have a stimulating time :>
“Grace L. was delightful. My cavalier Teddy was very excited to see her and she was great with him. Grace was reliable and punctual. I highly recommend her walk dog walking services. Cant go wrong with hiring her.”

“This was my first time booking Melissa and it couldn’t have gone any better! Melissa was an excellent walker for Mocha. She was very communicative and kept me updated on their walks. She took wonderful care of Mocha and even helped with other tasks in the house, as well! I would definitely recommend Melissa and would rebook with her too :)”

About: I am a teacher. I love to walk and will enjoy exercising with your pet and keeping them healthy and strong. We will treat them like parts of the family.
