About: I started out day sitting my friends dogs in Manhattan. When I moved to queens, my housemate has a cavapoo, Boba whom I been currently been co-sitting for over two years. I been the primary sitter as I am at home mostly and am used to the daily routines of seeing what Boba needs and understand him more and more everyday. I have a flexible schedule as I am in between jobs and mostly around the area. I spend most of my day around my house dog. On top of that I am a health conscious person and I love bringing Boba along on my workouts and walks around the neighborhood. I look forward to growing the community! I've setup systems to ensure safety as a priority. In the day Boba stays in the living area and it is fenced up to prevent him from going into the Kitchen and Bedrooms as those areas have food which is not only bad for his diet but could be a hazard. The living area will be filled with his favorite toys and occasionally to promote positive behavior,I will put together nourishment toys such as a semi-sealed container with treats to keep Boba engaged and entertained throughout the day. I walk him twice a day usually if the weather permits which is after lunch and after dinner.
About: I grew up in somewhat of a menagerie in south Florida where we had lots of property and animals like 5 Akitas, a ring tailed lemur, a kinkajou, 2 house cats and 2 big cats (lynx & bobcat). I am no stranger to rolling up my sleeves at home or for my clients. I've cared for pets internationally in Morocco and domestically in NYC. As a natural caregiver and as a clinical social worker I have the highest standards when it comes to those in my charge. I currently work remotely on a part time basis as a recruiter and a caregiver for my grandmother. We have a full house with support coming from many directions and I am looking for a way to make a little extra cash while spending time with animals. My grandmother and husband would prefer not to have a permanent pet, so this is a great compromise. As a clinical social worker I take my work with humans and pets very seriously. It's a mission and I took an oath as an MSW graduate to do my best for all in my charge. My home is in a quiet residential neighborhood in Jackson Heights near a dog park. My home is secure, comes with a backyard and is very clean. Nothing would please me more than to have a furry guest from time to time.
“Merlin loved spending time with Christopher this week! Christopher took Merlin on some very healthy, long walks even with the weather being very hot right now and sent us great updates with photos. When they got back from walks, Christopher made sure Merlin was hydrated and happy. Christopher was easy to work with and a great communicator and we will definitely work with Christopher again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 2 decades. I’ve helped train dogs, provided prescribed medication, assisted in emergencies and give lots of puppy pats. I’ve worked with 15- year-old chihuahuas and 6 month old Labrador puppies without any issue or worry. Overall, I’ve been a pet owner and understand how important it is to feel comfortable putting your dog in a new situation. So I’m happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. My main priority is that your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for until your return. I’m a freelancer and I usually can work remotely, so I have the freedom to schedule my week as I see fit. That means I can take dogs out multiple times in a day, without it disrupting my schedule. In my home, I live in an apartment which means I take dogs out every 2 hours. Depending on their size and energy I take longer or shorter walks. And at other people homes I’m happy to follow specific instructions but, as my own set of rules, I make sure to clean any messes I find on the property, if a vacuum is available I’m happy to vacuum hair/fur, especially if the pet owner is away for more than 5 days, I’m always available to communicate if any owner wants to check in with me and of course I’m happy to face time if you’d like to check in on your pet. I usually send and end of day message with a picture of your pup and a review of our day.
“Briana has been amazing! Very puntual, polite and great communication skills. My 2 pups adore her. She has also been flexible to help me when i am working late and my pups need afternoon walks. I will continue booking with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals from spiders to pitbulls- my family’s had a lot of pets over the years! I adore long walks, so if your pet has a lot of energy, I’ll make sure they’re tired out by the end of the day :) I’m starting college next week, so I’ll have tons of free time for your pets! I don’t have a lot of classes since I finished all my pre reqs in high school :) Depending on the details of your pet, I’ll make sure they have the care they need- whether that includes administering medicine, keeping up with energetic pups, or playing fetch for three hours straight until they get tired :)

About: Growing up in Peru, I started to take care of dogs of every kind since I was 8 years old. I would always feed stray dogs, and whenever they saw me, they would run to me, and we would create memories together. At the age of 15, my mom brought me a beloved companion who is now 17 years old. I also share my heart with an adorable cat. Both mean the world to me. I've always felt that animals have beautiful souls full of emotions and should be treated with respect, love and compassion. Hence, my ultimate goals in life is to open an animal sanctuary to care for these intelligent creatures for the rest of my life. I am currently attending school full-time; however, I am available for any requested services except Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8am and 1pm. We can always work something out. I have a small fenced yard and one friendly, playful havanese who would love to have playdates with your fur baby. Im always vigilant about my surroundings to ensure the safety of my own fur babies, and I'm equally committed to safeguarding yours as if they were my own.
About: From childhood to today, caring for dogs has been part of my life. Real experience, real responsibility, and genuine love for every pet I look after. I’m available Monday through Friday from 6–10pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays all day. Flexible, reliable, and ready to care for your pets always. 🐾 I provide care in clients’ homes, ensuring a safe, calm, and familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, prioritize trust, and treat every pet with respect.
“Austin is so great with our older French Bulldog, Penelope. She has some mobility issues, and he is incredibly patient with her, conscious of her need for short walks, and gives her a nice brushing and some outside time when she's done walking. She looks forward to having him come by every day, and so do we!”

“Charlie was great with my foster puppy, Joey! He is very communicative and kept me informed about his arrival times for the two days I requested walks. My puppy got adopted, but I will be going back to Charlie when I get my next pup!”

You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Lillybeth is AMAZING!!!! She was so wonderful about keeping me updated and sending me the cutest pics of my Malakai. She came before I booked her to learn about the habits and personalities of my min pin and I SO appreciated her taking the time out of her day to come and do this!! Malakai clearly loved her and warmed up so quickly. She is wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Shirley was amazing with our dog Nori! She was able to handle her crazy puppy behavior with ease, and Nori loved spending time with her. We can’t wait to work with her again!”

“Janet is an outstanding dog walker! She bonded immediately with our two English Setters, and they happily anticipate her arrival when it is time for a walk to our nearby park. Janet sends us photos, videos, and updates throughout the walk. She keeps up a brisk pace but is sensitive enough to allow the girls to sniff when they wish, without them sneaking any inappropriate "snacks" that might be lingering on the path. Janet has an upbeat personality, and is always on time yet very flexible. We can’t recommend her highly enough!”

Erika has been wonderful with Matisse, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Matisse is a very shy dog, so I really appreciated that Erika suggested a meet & greet before his first walk. It was clear right away how comfortable she is with dogs and how she truly cares about them. I knew that Matisse would be in great hands. I was anxious on their first day together, but Erika was thoughtful and kept me posted throughout the walk. The moment I received her first message saying that Matisse had greeted her at the door with kisses, I stopped worrying. Her patience, professionalism, and kindness made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the care she has shown Matisse. Don't hesitate to book Erika!

Prachi is understanding and professional. My dogs are in a very challenging situation because we are displaced from our house due to a bad fire. They are more anxious than usual, on top of being reactive to other dogs on the leash. Prachi was very considerate of all this and accommodating of the need to look out for other dogs on our walks. Her kindness in this unusual time was invaluable. She clearly cares for dogs' well being as much as people's. I recommend her to take care of your dog without hesitation.

Diego was amazing with my dog, Chai! He was super punctual and brought him back right on time after exactly an hour, which I really appreciated. He also kept me updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which made me feel so much more at ease while I was at work.

Xiaoying was fantastic! Our dog loved her from the first meeting. She went above and beyond to walk him, even saying hello to our cat (who is usually afraid of new people). She was very professional, timely, and flexible with a couple of last-minute changes, and sent us plenty of pictures. We would definitely recommend her!
