About: Dogs have been part of my life since day one. I grew up with (the only chill) Dalmatian and have spent the last 12 years raising Michael Jordan — yes, that's really his name. He's our sweet, senior black Lab that my son named after his basketball hero (and trust me, MJ earned it; he used to get serious air as a pup). Caring for dogs isn't something I picked up as a hobby; it's simply what I do. Beyond my own furbaby, I've cared for a range of dogs for friends and family: in-home sitting for Maddy, an adorable Maltipoo, and Charlie, a big lovable brindle Boxer; and dog walking for Luca, a high-energy Giant Schnauzer, plus my favorite French Bulldogs (Gigi & Lambeau!), a few treat-loving Labs (Lex and Hank the Tank!), and several velcro Dachshunds along the way. Big or small, high-energy or chill... I'm genuinely comfortable with them all. A little about me: I'm a proud mom to a UMD college student, health-conscious, and active in ways that benefit your dog. Riverside & Central Park are part of my daily routine, and dogs are woven into my everyday life. I'm dependable and treat every dog in my care the way I'd want someone to treat mine. With my son home from college for the summer, I have even more time to dedicate to other pups. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable, experienced UWS dog lover who will take great care of your pet, I'd love to meet them. I work from home which means plenty of unhurried time for your pup. Whether you're looking for a long walk or a park playdate, I'm available for walks and drop-ins both weekdays and weekends plus available for in-home sitting with advance notice so we have time to get acquainted beforehand. Your home, your rules! When caring for your dog, I follow your routines, respect your setup, and keep everything exactly as you'd expect to find it. I'll confirm feeding schedules, walk times, any medications, and your preferred check-in style before we get started. I'm also big on sharing photos so you always know your pup is happy and well cared for.
About: I specialize in reliable midday dog walks for apartment dogs in Midtown Manhattan. I don’t just check boxes—I take time to understand each dog’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup who needs extra exercise or a shy senior who just wants gentle companionship, I adjust my care to suit them. I also prioritize clear, friendly communication with pet parents, sending updates and photos so you always feel connected. My goal is simple: to make every dog feel safe, loved, and at home—even when you’re away. I currently work full time but I would like to take on some dog walking during lunch and on weekends as I currently cannot have pets in my apartment. In my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to your pet’s routine and personality. I stick closely to feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort, keeping things clean and consistent so your dog feels secure. In my home, I offer a pet-friendly, supervised space with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I always communicate openly and send photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well-cared for every step of the way.

About: As someone who loves to go on long walks and get exercise, I am happy to take your dog that has bundles of energy on a nice stroll around the hill! I know that not everyone has the time or energy to walk their dog before work or in the evenings... that's why I'm here! If you need someone to let your dog out during the day or simply give them some extra love and attention, I’ve got you covered. With 8 years of pet care experience, I'll treat your pet like my own. I am currently work a regular schedule 8-5 Monday through Thursday, but I always go on walks in the morning and after work - and I'd love to have a dog join me! On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I'm very flexible with walks, drop-in visits, or just spending extra time with your pet. I care for pets like my own. I'm always making sure they're loved, fed, safe and getting plenty of exercise.

“Nataly was a great dog walker! She walked my 8 month old puppy who is full of energy, and she was very flexible, responsible, and communicative. I would definitely use her again!”

“Alison was fantastic with my dog, Nala! Even though we didn’t meet in person, she handled everything seamlessly and made sure Nala was well cared for. She was communicative, reliable, and sent great updates, which gave me peace of mind. Nala looked happy and well-exercised after her walk! I’d definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thanks again, Alison!”

“Micah was the GREATEST. Super communicative, kind, and was so in tune with my dog/her needs that he took her on a longer walk than what I paid for! She is super energetic and he made sure to exhaust her (difficult task). He truly cares for your dogs, and is timely, trustworthy, and the best walker there is! Will be my go to from now on.”

“Sylvia and Scott are wonderful! I know my little man is happy and well taken care of when they walk him. They're on time and always send me great pics of my pup from their walks.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets across different life stages, including puppies, adult dogs, and senior animals. My responsibilities have included daily care routines, walks, feeding, grooming support, and coordinating veterinary visits. I’m particularly comfortable with senior pets and those requiring additional attention, including administering medications, monitoring health changes, and maintaining consistent care routines. I take a calm, attentive approach and adapt to each pet’s individual needs and temperament. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats and providing in-home pet sitting. I prioritize creating a safe, structured, and low-stress environment so pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I work part-time as a music instructor, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of care schedules. This allows me to be available for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care as needed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet in my care. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely to maintain the pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific preferences. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, and I take time to build trust—especially with more sensitive or shy animals. I make sure pets are always supervised appropriately, secure on walks, and in a clean, hazard-free environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel informed and at ease while they’re away. My goal is to ensure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar surroundings.

Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Anastasiia was wonderful with my dog! She met us beforehand for a meet and greet, and then provided photos and feedback during her first walk. She is trustworthy and was great with navigating the procedures in my apartment building. I am so thankful for her help!

Elizabeth walks our dog multiple times a week and we can’t recommend her enough — she is fantastic!! Our dog loves her and she is so easy to work with. She is always on time and is flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. We have loved working with her and highly recommend!

Marlene has been an absolute lifesaver. She always shows up on time, provides updates of her walk with our pup and is always willing to accommodate our schedule. She shows a genuine love for animals and knows how to handle our 60lb energetic rescue pittie. I am very happy to have peace of mind, knowing we can rely on her professional services.

I am happy I found Catherine! Her love of and experiences with dogs is apparent. She has a great attitude and she was great with my dog. She arrived on time and after a short introduction with my pup they were off for the allotted time. She shared photos along the way and a summary post walk. I would book Catherine again!
