About: I have taken care of pets since a young age. I have done pet sitting, walking, and boarding in my own home. Experienced handling many different kinds pets from dogs, cats, exotic pets, etc. of various breeds and ages. I have also worked in a pet store and received animal behavior training. I am available anytime Thursday through Sunday. Also available Wednesday in the afternoon and evening. Willing to discuss times on Monday and Tuesday if those days work best for you. I make sure I’m walking the dog on sidewalks in safe areas. If the dog shows any signs of distress I will walk back. Will bring water for them and dry off their feet before they re-enter the house if it’s raining.

“Sarah is so kind with my dog! My pup can be temperamental and he took to her immediately. She’s patient and flexible. She’s my favorite walker!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and truly love caring for them. Over the years, I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, including Shiba Inu (and mixes), Yorkshire Terrier, Beagle, and Labradoodle, so I’m comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I always focus on creating a safe, happy, and positive experience for every dog. Being around them naturally makes me smile, and I do my best to make sure they feel the same way during our time together. I’ve completed 300 walks on Wag, gaining hands-on experience with many different dogs, and I love staying active—so your pup will get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun on every walk! I’m a part-time dog walker, but my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can usually work around whatever time works best for you. Just give me a heads-up a day in advance, and we’ll make it happen! I mainly provide walking services, but I’m also happy to do drop-in visits or house sitting at your place (my apartment isn’t big enough for dogs). I typically walk dogs around Lower Manhattan and Chelsea. Wherever we go, your pup will get plenty of fun, exercise, and attention! I always prioritize safety, comfort, and a positive environment for every dog in my care, whether we’re walking outside or spending time at your home. Before our first walk or visit, I like to learn about your dog’s personality, habits, and preferences—such as their age, gender, favorite activities, how they react to other dogs or people, and any food allergies or sensitivities. Knowing these details helps me provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience tailored to your pup, so they can enjoy their time with me while staying happy, healthy, and well cared for.

“Erin took such good care of our cats on such short notice!”

“This was my first sitting experience with Brian and my first with Rover. Everything went really smoothly and Brian did a great job especially having to hunt for the cat each visit - she is incredibly shy and does everything she can to avoid being seen. I appreciated that Brian kept his distance and visited her at the same time each day. As well as little extras like growing pet grass for her and straightening her bed. Would recommend and will be booking again!”

“Carter went above and beyond to look after my precious cats. They warmed to him so quickly and he sent me tons of photos! I felt such peace of mind while travelling knowing he was taking good care of them back home. 100% will book again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. I grew up with my mini schnauzer, Chiky, who I had for 11 years and took care of from a young age. She was truly my best friend, and growing up with her taught me just how important dogs are in our lives, how much genuine, selfless love they give, and how much care and attention they need in return. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me flexibility during the week. I’m available 3 days on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, or sitting, and I’m fully available on weekends. I live in a top-floor apartment that’s very homey and cozy, with lots of natural light from skylights. While I don’t have a yard or balcony, I make sure dogs get the exercise and care they need through walks and playtime.
