Dog Walking Matinecock

About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 years, having owned a dog for 6. I have cared for senior pets and I can take walks as long as your pup desires- whether that be 3 miles or 10 feet... I'm currently home for the summer from college so I have unlimited free time to care and play with pets. As my own dog is getting older, I love taking longer walks with more energetic dogs! I like to know the pet's preferences so I can accommodate and make them feel as comfortable as possible. Every check in is not only feeding but also attention and company for your pet who may be feeling lonely. If I've noticed a pet is really missing their owner I always make sure to spend extra time in order to soothe them.

“Nicholas walked my corgi, Santiago, while I was out of town for a couple of days. He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend him to walk/care for your pup. When Santiago met Nicholas he was immediately able to make a connection with him and I felt confident that he would be a good walker for Santiago. Santiago can be stubborn and Nicholas was patient and flexible with Santiago’s needs. Santiago can’t go up and down the stairs and Nicholas was really understanding and carried him up and down the stairs for his walks. Nicholas kept me up to date on Santiago’s walks and sent pictures which I really appreciated. I also just appreciated Nicholas enthusiasm and sense of humor when dealing with Santiago’s silliness during walks. I would highly recommend Nicholas to care for your pup.”

About: After having to rehome my sweet Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie mix) due to housing arrangements, I’ve made it my mission to love and care for every pet as if they were my own. Your furry friend’s comfort and happiness will always come first with me! I never tire of playtime and have plenty of energy to keep up with even the most playful pups—but I also adore snuggling with laid-back dogs who just want some company. Since I love being outdoors and staying active, I’d be more than happy to take your dog on long walks or fun outdoor adventures. And for the cat parents out there—I’m a huge cat lover and would be thrilled to care for your feline friends. 😊 I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to devote to your furry friends. My schedule is open and adaptable, so feel free to reach out with any inquiries—I’ll do my best to make it work! I live in a rental home without access to a backyard, but I’m just a short 10-minute walk from a park I know well and love visiting with pets. At home, I have two older, friendly cats who are very relaxed and comfortable around dogs. I’m happy to care for your pets in whatever way works best—whether that’s playing indoors at your home, enjoying some outdoor time around your neighborhood, or heading to the park for extra fun and exercise!

“Diana was responsive and communicative for the first walk, felt very comfortable having her walk Jelly. Also was very accommodating with all of the instructions we had, highly recommend!”

About: I work at a doggy daycare. At this job I supervise groups of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes. I’m experienced with feeding, administering medication, and basic grooming like baths and nail trims. Working at this job has taught me a lot about dog behavior and body language. I am also pet CPR and first aid certified with America Health Training. I am an owner of a 2 year old rescue dog myself. I am used to all different types of personalities and temperaments and ready to take on whatever it is your dog may need! I am working part time at a doggy daycare facility. I am normally available in the early morning until 12pm and from 8:30pm to late night. Tuesdays and Fridays I am free the entire day for any bookings so long as I know at least a day in advance! Because of my work obligations as well as obligations to my own pets I am only offering dog walking sessions as well as home check ins for cats and dogs. I am used to any kind of harness or collars for dogs, experienced with using crates and am comfortable taking them out wherever is comfortable with you. For both cats and dogs I can come in for house check ins, help with feedings, play with your pets, or just come in for a snuggle so they don’t get lonely.

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with years of experience as pet sitter and dog walker. I prioritize putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I love taking photos of your pet and will send you pictures and updates as often as you need, and please feel free to get in touch any time your beloved dog is with me as I know it’s difficult to leave them behind! I am home full time so I can dedicate the entire day to care and love your pet. I only watch one dog at a time. I love walking dogs and there is a dog friendly (leashed only) park near by if your pet enjoys lots of exercise. You can trust me to keep your pets safe, engaged and happy in my home. Your pet will have free range in my house which is dog friendly. I can provide a dog bed, blankets and towels etc. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for outdoor play. If your pet requires medication I am happy to give as necessary.

About: I am an experienced and trained dog walker for all sizes. I walk with confidence and the dogs sense it. I am licensed and insured. I’m currently working part time. I have plenty of time to share nature with your dog. I am also a hiker, so I can walk and walk and walk… I currently have 4 indoor cats with 8 bowls and 4 litter boxes. Two of them are taking medicine and a supplement that I have to add to their food. One has a chronic nasal issue, he has liquid medicine I give him. I care for others in their home .

“Ashley is amazing, treats my dog like its her own. She helps give meds, makes sure water is full and comes on a minute notice. Highly recommend.”

About: As a Biology graduate, current NYIT Physician Assistant student, and certified Medical Assistant, I bring a level of attentiveness, responsibility, and reliability that sets me apart. My healthcare experience has taught me the importance of following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior or condition, and providing compassionate, individualized care—skills that translate naturally to caring for pets. I have been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with both dogs and cats, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, prefers a slower pace, or simply wants extra attention and affection, I am committed to making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. Pet parents can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive. I will provide regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I look forward to getting to know them and providing the highest quality care possible. I am currently on summer break from school so pet care would fit very naturally into my daily and weekly routine right now, since my schedule is very flexible. I am currently volunteering at a food pantry, which allows me to structure my days in a way that can easily accommodate pet care visits, walks, or extended stays as needed. Because I don’t have fixed work hours, I’m able to be reliable for morning, midday, and evening check-ins, and I can adjust my availability based on client needs. My volunteer commitment is typically set and predictable, so it doesn’t interfere with scheduling pet care responsibilities. I’m also comfortable planning my week in advance to ensure I can consistently show up on time and give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Overall, pet care would fit in seamlessly with my current routine, and I have the flexibility to be dependable, responsive, and attentive to each pet’s schedule. I care for pets in my clients’ homes and during walks, and my main focus is always keeping them safe and comfortable while respecting the owner’s space. When I’m in someone’s home, I follow all instructions closely and try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible so they feel relaxed and not stressed. During walks and drop-ins, I make sure pets are secure on their leash and always supervised. I pay attention to their behavior and surroundings to make sure they stay safe, especially around other animals, people, and traffic. I also know how important trust is when someone is letting you into their home and caring for their pet, so I’m reliable, communicate clearly, and can provide updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Jordan is a kind and experienced dog-lover. He quickly gained their trust and affection. Highly recommend to all!”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.

“Highly recommend! She is incredibly caring, thorough, and communicative. I always appreciate the updates she provides about the timing and length of the walk, and pictures of the walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands and having such a great time. Reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does!”

About: I’m a recent college graduate with a huge love of dogs! I’ve owned several dogs my whole life, many types (Lab, Pitbull, Australian Cattle Dog). My family and I have fostered over 5 different dogs in the last couple of years. My sister is a professional dog trainer and I’ve watched her work for many years! My mom has been pet sitting for Rover for years so I’ve gotten very used to working with all sorts of dogs on a weekly basis. I love caring for animals, especially taking them on walks and giving them baths :) Since I just graduated, I’m looking to do something fun to fill up my time! I’m free whenever and I can go where ever :) I’m super attentive when it comes to dogs needs. At home, I try to walk my dogs at least once a day and I’m always picking up on cues when they need to go outside.

“Danielle is great! She responds quickly and communicates with you. She is also very easy going. My dog loved his walk and was definitely tired after. I would highly recommend!!”

“Carina is excellent! My dog gets so excited when she comes. She is great walking my senior taking care not to overdo it. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Family, friends call me Titi Sammy. Why?! I watch and take care of everyone’s kids! And you know it.. our dogs are our kids too :) A little about me: I have a passion for helping stray and neglected dogs. I volunteer with many rescues in Puerto Rico. I do airport transport, coordinate with fosters (and foster), and love on pups that come to the states while they wait to meet their forever families :) Hoping to run my own rescue one day! I work remotely! I have a super flexible schedule. This makes it very easy to keep your pup’s at home routine. Frequent potty and play breaks too! I am not currently caring for pets in my home, but can take your pups out for walks, or let them out back. Feed and of course give them extra love :)
