Tatyana did a fantastic job watching our cat while we were away for a week. She came twice a day, always on time, and made sure our fur-baby got all the attention he needs. Will definitely be booking again.

Ody was amazing! My dog has a little bit of stranger danger, but she warmed up to Ody super quickly. Ody was also very prompt with her drop in visits and you can tell that she is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. Would 100% rebook with Ody and recommend her!

About: I currently have a cockapoo, his name is Louis. He loves other small to medium sized dogs. He is very social, playful, and loves a good snuggle partner. I love taking long and short walks with him and other dogs. I have dog sat and dog walked for friends and family for many years. I live right in between central park and riverside park. There are a few great dog parks in my neighborhood too. I will take photos and keep you updated on how your dog is doing. Let health problems or medications they might need. I am home a lot during the day, so you dog will have plenty of human interaction too. Let me know if you have any other questions... - Gladys

About: Hi, I’m Violet! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and live with my own energetic husky, so I truly understand how much love and care our furry friends need. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pup — whether that’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping them company throughout the day.

You can count on me for lots of attention, patience, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I live in a pet-friendly apartment near Central Park — perfect for fun walks and outdoor adventures. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for boarding or walks, and I’d love to meet your four-legged friend!

About: Hi! I am a premed neurology researcher on the Upper West Side looking to support my application fees. I currently have a medium-sized dog named Alfie who I take on long walks everyday in Central Park (only 2 blocks from my apartment). I grew up with pomeranians and fostering large and small dogs so I am familiar with different temperaments and sizes. I am currently waiting to start my new position so I am available to care for your furry family member at your convenience. Once I begin my role, I only work three days a week so I can still walk your dog then as well. I have a 40-lb Keeshond who is very friendly and loves to play. If you are looking for boarding, my dog will be in the apartment as well but I can make sure they get acclimated.

We highly recommend Michelle to care for your fur babies! We had a Meet+Greet with her before the drop-in appointment and our pups loved her instantly. They were happy to see her when she returned for the drop-in visit the following day. She followed directions exactly as we requested. She even arrived a little early which worked out well for us. We needed to turn our phones off about the time she was set to arrive. We were able to buzz her into our building because she took the initiative to arrive 15 minutes early. Michelle is very thoughtful and conscientious. She cleaned up after feeding the dogs and left the apartment tidy. Michelle sent us frequent status updates on how they were doing with photos. Michelle is a kind person who loves all animals! We will definitely book with Michelle again!
