Experienced NYC dog walker available for midday walks and drop-ins! 🐾 Dog Walker with 20+ Years Experience I currently have a 2pm slot for a weekly dog walk and can be a bit flexible within that window. With over two decades of pet care experience, I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny pups to giant breeds. My goal is always to provide a safe, reliable, and enjoyable walk so your pet stays happy and gets the care they deserve. I’ve also cared for cats and other small animals, and I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. If your dog needs a midday walk, potty break, or some extra attention, I’d love to help. Feel free to message me with any questions or to book a spot! 🐾
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Drop-In Visits for Dogs: During drop-in visits, your dog will receive personalized attention, including a walk based on their preferences. I’ll also handle feeding and administer any oral medication if needed. My goal is to ensure your dog is happy, exercised, and well-cared for while you're away. Drop-In Visits for Cats: I’ll check in to ensure your cat has everything they need, including feeding and some playtime or petting (unless they prefer their space!). I’ll always respect their mood, but I’ll offer affection if they’re in the mood for it!
Ratings and reviews
Michelle is one you can count on being there and your pets trust her. I highly recommend her.
I found Michelle on short notice when the weather was predicting thunder all day, and Ishby can be alone for a few hours but is scared of thunder. Michelle was easy to communicate with, understanding and trying to make things work for me as best she could even as the weather forecast was changing. When she came for the meet n greet, it was clear she has a way with dogs and Ishby got used to her quickly. She was in touch throughout the visit, took lots of pictures, fed Ishby as I asked her to, and I felt like my baby was in good hands. Grateful for Michelle's help!
10/10 amazing sitter! Always ready even on short notice.
Michelle was wonderful with our two senior rescue dogs! From the very first visit, it was clear she was experienced and comfortable caring for older dogs with different needs. She instinctively knew how to approach them, which immediately put us at ease. We were so impressed after the first visit that we booked her for consecutive walks and weekend drop-in visits. Throughout every visit, Michelle kept us well informed with detailed updates about how the dogs were doing, their walks, meals, potty breaks, and overall behavior. She also shared great photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, the biggest sign of how well she had cared for them was how calm, happy, and settled they were. Everything was just as we had left it, and it was obvious they had been well looked after. Michelle is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets.
Gracie is in good hands with Michelle . She gets nervous around most dogs . Unless I know them, we just walk on by . She likes people more than dogs & it’s always good to be cautious. She always gets her full walk & likes the attention from her walker
Arrived when she said she would.
