Sydney has been an excellent dog walker for Tucker! She is reliable, communicative, and always makes sure he gets the exercise and attention he needs. Tucker is always excited to see her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in great hands. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring walker!

About: My love for dogs started with my family’s golden retriever, Sunshine, who I grew up caring for. Since then, I’ve continued my pet care journey with my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who I’ve raised for the past 8 years. Along the way, I’ve also dog-sat for friends, gaining experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved, whether that’s through long walks, playtime, or extra patience for senior dogs. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for pets. I can easily adjust my day to fit in walks, drop-ins, or playtime, and I’m available most weekdays and weekends. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, so I make sure it’s part of my daily routine. I provide a safe and loving environment for every dog I care for. I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions, whether that means keeping to feeding schedules, administering medication, or using a crate if needed. On walks, I’m attentive and mindful of safety, and at home, I create a calm and comfortable space where dogs feel secure. With my own experience raising dogs, I treat every pup like part of the family and make their well-being my top priority.

About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.

Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.

About: The cool aunt your dog deserves. I will hang out with your dog and make sure they stay active and happy. I am energetic for the dogs who need plenty of exercise but who knows how to cuddle or be lay back with the calmest dogs. All my friends and family dogs are basically my nieces and nephews from how much I spoil them and spend time around them (plenty of cuddle buddies are around me when I come over). Even though I enjoy being the cool aunt or Godmom, I will discipline them if they are doing something they know they are not supposed to do (this is not like when the teacher leaves and the substitute teacher is there for the day). If I'm lucky my terrible puns and jokes might put your dog to sleep after hearing them (not guaranteed to work on all dogs). Just working for Madison Square Garden as an usher during the day (7 hours at the longest). So before and after we are good to go. While I am at your place, I treat the place like mine. I will keep an eye on the mail and packages, make sure the pet does not eat my food (no matter how sad they try to look) and will be as close as possible to the pets schedule.

About: I grew up with two dogs, so I learned how to take care of dogs starting at a young age. As a kid, I trained my own dogs basic commands and tricks and walked them. I now have a dog of my own, a sweet rescue pup named Olive, who is my entire world. I work from home from 9 to 5 on weekdays and have plenty of time to spend with pups! My pet care schedule is very flexible. I am available for walks either before or after work, around lunchtime, and on weekends. I will follow any special instructions to suit your dog’s needs. I have experience with anxious dogs and know that some pups may take a little bit of time and patience to be comfortable!

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Journal Square.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
