Dog Walking Midtown

About: I bring over 25 years of personal, dedicated experience caring for dogs across every stage of life. My background includes a decade with a high-energy Labrador Retriever, followed most recently by 16.5 wonderful, devoted years raising and caring for my two miniature poodles, Max and Mia. What truly sets me apart is this comprehensive, full-lifecycle experience. I deeply understand the differing needs of dogs as they age. Whether your dog is a high-energy breed that needs a structured, high-efficiency neighborhood workout, or a senior pup requiring a gentle, patient pace, I tailor every walk to their specific routine. Specialized Skills: Senior & Special Needs Care: Exceptionally attentive to mobility and visibility limitations, recovery from medical procedures, strict medication schedules, and the gentle touch required for aging pets. Breed Versatility: Equally comfortable and experienced with large, active retrievers and delicate, intelligent small breeds. Reliability & Structure: I pride myself on extreme dependability, clear communication, and maintaining the exact schedule and boundaries you set for your furry family member. I offer open availability throughout the week (Monday through Friday) for both dog walking and boarding. Because my schedule is highly flexible during these days, I can easily accommodate your preferred routine, whether that means a structured midday walk to break up your pup's day or an overnight boarding stay with plenty of dedicated attention. Dog Walking: Available for flexible, reliable time slots all week including holidays (inquire within) Boarding: Available for time slots all week including most holidays (inquire within) Safety, peace of mind, and immaculate cleanliness are my highest priorities. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and maintain strict, premium standards to ensure a healthy, hygienic environment for your dog. In Your Home (Walks & Drop-Ins) Structured Walks: I maintain complete awareness of our surroundings, keeping your dog on a secure leash away from unknown animals or hazards. I stick strictly to your preferred routes and neighborhood/ street boundaries. Meticulous Clean-Up: I practice strict waste disposal during walks and ensure paws are thoroughly wiped clean before re-entering your home on rainy or muddy days, or everyday (my dogs always got their paws wiped every time we came home). Happy to put your boots on your pet before we leave for walks if needed. Home Security & Integrity: I respect your privacy, ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and your space is left clean, and keys are secure at all times. If you require shoes off in your home, I'm happy to comply.

“Anastasiia was a huge help with getting care for my dog last minute. She took her for a walk and sent great updates and pictures. She is very trustworthy and reliable and I will definitely book again!”

“Birger is the best! Appreciate his responsiveness in communication and promptness. My dog gets excited to see him every morning and it warms my heart. It’s comforting to know I can rely on Birger every day and my dog is in good hands.”

“This was Austin's first time walking our 19-month-old puppy, Rupi, and we couldn't be happier. He took her on a wonderful, long walk around our neighborhood, which was fantastic for burning off some of that puppy energy! Austin was very communicative….It gave me complete peace of mind. We will definitely be using Austin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 20 years, including my own three. I’m reliable, responsible and caring. I know how hard it is to decide on who is the right person to take care of your furry family member. I take that responsibility very seriously. I will go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and your furry friend has the best time in my care. I’m very communicative and can send as many written or picture updates as you want. I have a flexible schedule - I’m a television producer who has worked for the same company for 14 years. I’m currently remote so can work around your schedule. Open to pet visits or play dates, walks, and check ins. Will of course provide my furry client with lots of rubs and playtime. I have experience with puppies and senior animals. I’m a television producer with a flexible schedule. I have worked for the same network for over 14 years. I really Love my job, but looking for something to mix up my day- what is better than spending time with animals and being a loving walker or babysitter for a nice family? Safety, security and trust are high priorities for me when watching or walking someone’s furry family member. I’m a very good listener and will follow any instructions given.

About: Hi, I’m Sanjana! Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up with our family dog, Happy, who taught me what it means to truly care for a pup, and later in adulthood I had the joy of caring for my own dog, Chutney. Between the two of them, I’ve learned a lot about what dogs need to feel safe, loved, and happy. My professional dog care journey started back in college, where I began pet sitting and walking for neighbors and friends — and I just never stopped! Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and health needs, from energetic puppies who need a good run to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and gentle care. At the end of the day, I just really love dogs. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle session, or making sure medications are given right on schedule, I treat every dog in my care like family. I’d love to meet your pup! I welcome meet & greets before booking so both you and your pup can feel comfortable and confident!

About: I grew up with dogs, have had experience with golden poodle, bichon, French bull dog, and so many more breeds! I love dogs with all my heart, I will annoy you with status of your fur babies if you don't mind lol I currently work from home, only need to run errands once in a while. I usually walk dogs three times a day, but if you need more or less just let me know! I have a super happy golden doodle to keep your fur baby accompanied. But if your dog do now like other dogs, my dog gets that too, and I can be the one sitting next to your dog if that's the case!

“Alison is THE BEST!!!! Our pup Gracie loves walking with her. She always arrives on time to pick up Gracie and she takes her to Central Park, which is Gracie’s dream come true. Highly recommend using Alison!”

About: I’ve been a dog walker for 2+ years, I have experience working at a dog daycare, dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and drop in feeding for both. I am patient, reliable and punctual. I pay attention, take animals safety seriously and will take very good care of your pets. Rain or shine, snow or summer heat won’t stop me from showing up 😁 I am willing to do meet and greets! I’ve mainly worked in Manhattan (preferably I choose to work all around Manhattan) , I can come to Brooklyn or Queens to dog/cat sit and commute is no problem for me. I am available weekdays and weekends, I have lots of free time and I would like to use that to work as much as I can. I understand that each cat/dog has their own needs and some require special attention and/or care, such as diaper changes for disabled dogs or pets that take certain medications, I am experienced with these and I can do it. I can and will do whatever the pet needs, I’ll be present and take care of them.

About: Besides my own dogs, volunteered at Animal Haven,,went to grooming school, Am experienced with senior dogs, administering meds is no problem, know CPR for dogs I run my own hairstyling business from home, part time,,make my own schedule,,so have plenty of time to drop in for walks, play or care. I am not able to bring your babies into my home at this time, my little girl is almost 17 and it would disrupt her "golden years, yet in your home I would treat your babies as my own...

“Can’t say enough good things about Nataly! She is communicative, GREAT with Ralph, responsive to requests, and flexible when needed. I will be using her whenever possible for dog walks!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. I’ve looked after puppies who were still learning potty training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and sticking to a routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with house rules, or giving extra attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide your dog with plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having a furry companion by my side while I work and enjoy taking breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks between meetings. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I provide a calm and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Since I work from home, your dog will have lots of companionship throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I’m 24 years old, originally from Miami, FL, and I’m currently a graduate student in New York City studying Opera Performance. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. As a kid, I often went to work with my parents, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable around animals with all sorts of personalities and needs. I have a special soft spot for senior pets since I’ve had the privilege of watching my own childhood pets grow old. Back home in FL, I have a 14-year-old Mini Pinscher named Snoop and a 19-year-old fluffy tortoise shell cat named Miley Cyrus, who I visit every chance I get. I also recently adopted a 12 year old tuxedo cat named Ziggy, who lives with me here in the city. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently on summer break from grad school and live with my partner of 5 years. We both work remotely, so your pet will almost never be left alone. I’m also a bit of a homebody, so I genuinely enjoy spending time at home with the pets I’m caring for. When classes resume in September, I’ll mostly have morning classes while my partner continues working from home. He is also a huge animal lover and very caring and responsible. We live in a pet-friendly building in Hells Kitchen with several parks nearby, and Central Park is only about a 15 min walk away (for pups who enjoy longer walks and adventures). We share our home with a sweet 12-year-old tuxedo cat named Ziggy. He’s very friendly and playful. He gets along well with both dogs and other cats (especially kittens!). Whenever a new pet stays with us, I always introduce them slowly. I like to give everyone time to adjust to each other’s scent before meeting face-to-face, which helps make the transition much less stressful. I supervise all introductions closely and am always prepared to separate them if they seem uncomfortable or need more time. Having grown up around a lot of animals, I’m very comfortable reading both dog and cat body language, which allows me to stay calm, recognize signs of stress early, and handle introductions safely. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. If your dog or cat is comfortable around cats, I think we’d be a great match! Every pet is different, so I always take time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether they want to play, go for walks, snuggle, or just have their own space, I’ll follow their lead. My goal is always to make them feel safe and loved, and if they’re the cuddly type, they’re more than welcome on my couch or in my bed!

“Rachel did a wonderful job walking my dog. She was reliable, professional, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I felt confident knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I returned home to a happy and well-exercised pup. I would gladly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”
