Dong is an absolutely amazing dog walker! He has been walking my pup for the past ten days, and he has been incredibly understanding and flexible, especially during the chaos of my home renovations. Dong has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring my pup gets plenty of exercise and is always happy and well-cared for. I'm so grateful for his reliability and dedication. I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

Shaina is so kind and patient with the pups as they got used to her for the first day or two. One of my dogs can be moody and she handled him with grace and patience until he was comfortable. Highly recommend!

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: ***🚗Safe Pickup and drop from any location within NYC and Jersey for your pet. I truly understand the language of a little one. They are loving beings just like us, our job is to let them know how much we understand that. I used to do this type of work for free, the passion has always been there. Dog care and sitting available the entire week. I also have an assistant with just as much pet care experience as me. I regularly take nature walks and adventures in forests or parks , I love hiking and exercise. Having companions next to me during these experiences make them 10 times more enjoyable. I treat every pet as if they were my child. Once they are in my hands, they are automatically my top priority. I dream of one day starting my own zoo and pet care service, animals are my life and purpose in this world.

Walks with Elyse have been a great addition to my dog’s weekly routine. Elyse is always prompt to pickup and truly makes my dog feel comfortable during his walks with her. I have additionally used her services for in-home visits for my cat while I’m out of town. I would highly recommend to her any pet owner needing any type of service!

About: When I was younger I had two puppies that I took care of. There were stray puppies and left behind near a road. I fostered them until another family adopted them. A few years ago there was a 2 month old stray kitten, which I also fostered. It had ear mites and trouble eating. I treated the ear mites until they were gone and made sure it was able to eat well on it’s own. It also has its own family now. I have my own cat, who just turned 4. Her name is Maxine and she’s a Tortoiseshell cat. I’m a huge animal person with a lot of patience and I love to make sure animals are healthy and happy. I’ll make sure that your pet is fed, clean, happy and always healthy. I’ll bring them to the park depending if it’s a dog or a cat. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m reliable, organized, and flexible, which allows me to meet different pets’ needs throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and maintain a calm, clean environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

About: I am a proud foster failure dog mom and have a spunky rescue cat as well. I have experience handling both small and large dogs, as I grew up with a darling Italian mastiff for 6 years. I have housesat on multiple occasions for friends’ cats and pups. I am also happy to take your pup on a run if they need to get some energy out. I hope to have the opportunity to meet your furry friend. Please contact me if you have any special requests, as I can usually be very accommodating. I work a very flexible, hybrid job so I am able to tailor my schedule to meet your needs! Plenty of weekend availability as well, and no better way to spend it than with a furry friend! Because of the pets of my own, I cannot offer boarding at my home. However, I’ve gone through the process of finding a dog and catsitter myself and will do everything to ensure you feel confident their needs are being met and their normal schedule is being adhered to.

About: Had pets all my life, dogs, cats, and even fish. Always loved animals and have a real passion for them. I was lucky to have the most well behaved amazing pets as a kid but have also had to deal with some toughies I am a student and a part time worker and volunteer. I’m pretty lucky to have a flexible schedule during the summer so I should be available most days at most times. Pet service is a two sided job. Of course you have to love the pet and have a good time being with them but it’s also about responsibility and being kind but stern. My grandma loves her cats but she feeds them a bit too much and I think I have learned from dealing with those poor cats.

About: I have had cats and dogs all my life. I currently have a Pittbull and 5 cats at home. I’ve been doing professional pet care since 2022. I’m currently working as a nurse and am looking for some extra income! My schedule is constantly changing but I do my best to update my calendar with my availability as often as possible. I usually know my schedule for work a month in advance. I don’t do overnight house sitting! I treat animals with respect and try to act in a way that respects their space and makes them feel as safe as possible. I will never force interactions between myself and a pet. They deserve clean places to live and top-notch care!
