Dog Walkers in Howard Beach, NY

“Mandel has consistently come through for us as a walker, on both weekdays and weekends. He’s quick to respond, easy to coordinate with, super accommodating and our dog loves him! He’s very reliable, and we will continue to use him when we need a walker.”

“Steven and Jennifer had great communication they were responsive and attentive to any questions or advice I may have given them. They were efficient and timely. I would absolutely trust them with my Simba again”

“Pearl is the best! We had a last minute need for a dog walked, and she confirmed for us. She took great care of our old lady dog, Olivia (15 years old), for the 2 days that we were away. She sent us photo and video updates, which I really appreciated. And she gave some pets to our cats before leaving our house each walk. I can’t thank Pearl enough, and I will definitely book her again.”

About: Over the years, my pet care experience has been a rewarding journey filled with love, responsibility, and companionship.

I occasionally babysit my fur nephew, Han Solo, so there can be another buddy to play with. I also have two smaller dogs, Ellie & Cleo, who are chill and lovable.

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs and taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. Neighbors , family , and friends have relied on me to take care of their sweet best friends and babies. I had my own best-friend who was a Dacshound , who I adored and loved , sadly he passed on June 30th , 2022. I loved him with all of my being. I love all animals , big and small , and treat all animals with respect, patience , and love. I am capable of doing anything in the afternoon after 12 and nights like 7pm. I love dogs and once you become a client of mine, we can figure out a schedule that works best for the both of us. If I was to take care of your companions at your home , I would follow all the rules you have for your dogs! I would feed them the way you like them to be fed and at the time you recommend to feed them, I would play with them , clean after them as need be and wouldn’t scold them for little things that really dogs can’t control haha. I would take care of them just as if they were my own ! Lots of love and affection. I am able to take care of dogs who aren’t so friendly also. I’ve had experience in walking a dog who wasn’t so friendly , but after some time , he learned to trust me and I learned how to get him ready for a walk without getting bit haha. I am capable of putting your dog in a crate if need be . Giving certain medicines your dog may need, like the ones that you have to hide in their food. Im not afraid to do any oral medicine only if the dog is comfortable allowing me to administer.

About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 9+ years, caring for my French Bulldog through every stage of her life—from playful puppy to senior years—which taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to adapt to a dog’s changing needs. I now have a Cavapoo and love going through all the puppy milestones again, including basic training, routines, and socialization. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether that means keeping up with an energetic pup or providing gentle, patient care for older dogs. I genuinely treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and am not working a traditional job, which allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pet care. I’m starting with weekend availability so I can provide consistent, reliable care and ensure each pet gets my full attention. As I get established, I’m open to expanding my availability. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can easily plan my week around their needs When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I always do a quick check to make sure there are no hazards or anything unsafe within reach, and I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. I give pets time to warm up to me at their own pace, using a calm and patient approach to build trust. Once they’re comfortable, I make sure they get plenty of attention, play, and care based on their energy level and personality. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away

“My Hero, Tedy is so reliable and attentive to my dogs needs. She has been walking my dog for weeks and I only have the most positive things to say about her professionalism, and loving nature. She is punctual and I get to see videos of my dog’s reactions to her visits which are so heartwarming because my dog loves her. Tedy will be an asset to anyone who is looking for support caring for our little family members.”

“It’s been amazing experience with Shannakae as a first time user of Rover. She is very caring and patient with our Cane Corso. You can tell that she really enjoys what she does. She is very genuine and easy to talk to. Great with communication! Wow! We love that she looks out for our dog’s best interest by giving us any recommendations that make him feel more comfortable and safe. Our dogs fell in love with her right away. She takes care of Hachi as her own :) At first, I was a bit worried because we’ve never hired a dog walker through the app, but Shannakae gives us piece of mind. I would recommend hiring her anytime, hands down! We are extremely pleased and thankful for how well she takes care of Hachi. Your pet will be in good hands! She is very reliable, quick responsive and extremely friendly. Hachi adores her! We look forward to continuing working with you! :)”

About: I am currently a psychology student as well as an athlete at my university! I have grown up with dogs my whole life and love taking care of them. My motivation comes from giving dogs a chance to get the exercise they need, because fitness is obviously a super important aspect of my life, and I love being able to spread that to all human beings. We should all be exercising often and this is just another chance to help our pets and enable them to live longer, healthier, and happier lives! I am currently taking classes, working as a manager for a semi professional soccer club, and involved in a rigorous summer conditioning program involving multiple workouts a day! I am looking to come do walks during the day on weekdays and weekends especially. While I cannot care for pets in my current home as I live in a dorm, I have experience with basic care of dogs such as walking, washing, playing with, paw care and the like.

About: I love looking after pets and getting to know each of their unique personalities. I think animals make the world a better place by being here. They teach us about patience, love, loss, and growth. The great thing about all pets is they're all different in their own way and they all offer love. I have two cats at home, who are pretty low maintenance, they need plenty of love and play time. I dedicate every day more than an hour to each cat to make sure they feel loved and entertained. It obviously entertains me as well! Patience and looking for warning signs are very important. Taking time to communicate to the pet owners of any concerns is also a priority if that is the case. I think a good line of communication is super helpful. Getting to know the pets is helpful too.
