“Mary is amazing she is so sweet and affectionate towards my dog and has been available last minute for extra/ longer walks. I feel good knowing my dog is cared for by her!”

About: I have experience taking care of my own dog as well as others’ dogs. I found a scrappy mini schnauzer named Mickey at the shelter in 2018 and fell in love immediately. I brought him home that day and was his primary caretaker for the next 7 years through his difficult battle with cancer. Since losing him, I’ve been volunteering at the shelter and dog-sitting others’ dogs. I can provide attentive care based on you and your dog’s needs, including special needs and senior dogs. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see how I can help! Im currently a student, so I have a lot of free time. I am free to walk your dogs pretty much anytime that works for you! My priority is keeping your dog safe and your home secure through every visit. I am extremely careful during entries and exits to ensure your pet stays safely inside, and I always double-check that all doors are locked when I leave. During walks, I stay highly alert to our surroundings, including traffic and other animals, while maintaining a secure grip on the leash at all times. You can expect a detailed update and photos after every walk so you have total peace of mind.
“Adam was lovely and great with Sage. Gave a a bit of time on the first meeting for Sage to acclimate! Very easy and friendly to communicate with as well! Sage came back tired from the walk which means she was happy!”


About: Full-time dog walker and devoted animal lover offering the best of my humanity to the service of our dearest friends the pets. I capture priceless daily updates and insights of my services and input (videos of every walk and portraits of every pet) and I send them to you after each walk. I work full-time as an animal caregiver with deep intention and purpose giving my all for the cause. I will get anywhere I am needed, anytime; scheduling ahead is most ideal to organize other walks around the city, but I can also do last minute things if I am allowed a 90 minutes window to make it in case I am in a different area. It is well known that my care for animals transcends feeding them and giving them water; I make sure that every walk is an opportunity to build and/or maintain positive behavioral patterns while addressing any “undesirable” patterns that could be exhibited with patience, understanding and the right amount of love… at the end of the day, it gives me unmeasurable pleasure to see animals safe, content and relaxed.

“Man was wonderful. Very friendly and communicative and handle our pup very well. Was even amenable to come despite last minute request. Thanks Man!”

“Jasper is awesome!! Our puppy is very anxious so we’re lucky we found someone she trusts and likes. He’s super reliable and punctual and writes really thorough summaries of his time with our pup.”

About: Over my few years I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, whether that be big, small, active or lazy. I’m particularly very suited to handle big high energy dogs as I have mainly taken care of those types of dogs. I have also in some cases provided care for dogs with medical needs such as providing medication for the dog. I love to be able to take dogs out and have fun or just sit and relax if needed. I’m great at communicating with pet parents and providing a safe and fun experience for everyone’s dog! I am currently a college student so my schedule depends on. The days I do not have classes and the days I get out of class early. But I am mostly pretty free and have multiple days where I am open for the whole day to take care of your pets! Although I do not provide care in watching pets at my own home, I am able to do check-in and I ensure that the pet is fed as well as everything seems to be in order within the client’s home. As well as making sure the pet is comfortable and seems to be its normal self I also provide excellent communication if there seems to be something off and will ensure the safety of the pet is taken care of!

About: I have been trusted to care for dogs every since I was little! From Rottweilers to shih-tzus, high energy to low. I cared for them since they were pups until old age. This is decades of family experience and love for these little angels on earth :) Im currently working a job thats super flexible with scheduling so I can fit your needs pretty well! I can most likely do same day scheduling during this summer as well! I want your pets safety and comfort to be my top priority. I provide care directly in your home or neighborhood allowing your pet to stay stress free in a familiar environment. I strictly follow rules needed for each dogs needs and always on the leash during walks. You can expect regular communication, GPS-tracked walks, and daily photo updates so you will always know that your doggo is safe and secure! I'm Christian and I do believe God gave them to us for a reason!
“Sali was amazing with the dogs! She was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures of my happy pups! She asked great questions at the meet and greet and I came home to happy pups. Even with the hot weather she made sure to take care of the pups paws by walking on grass. One of my dogs is geriatric and she based the walk on her stamina which was really nice. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi there <3 I am a Parsons grad who filled up a lot of my free time during my college years in the city walking & taking care of NYC’s cutest pups. 4 years post grad, I work a full time corporate fashion job that recently moved remote, and I’m looking to fill my love for pets as I adopted & became a cat mommy to my cutie kitty Moo Moo four years ago & would love a pup, but can’t right now! I am a huge pet lover so I will definitely take care of your fur-legged pets like they're my own!

Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Anastasiia was wonderful with my dog! She met us beforehand for a meet and greet, and then provided photos and feedback during her first walk. She is trustworthy and was great with navigating the procedures in my apartment building. I am so thankful for her help!

Elizabeth walks our dog multiple times a week and we can’t recommend her enough — she is fantastic!! Our dog loves her and she is so easy to work with. She is always on time and is flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. We have loved working with her and highly recommend!
