About: I am so lucky to still have my pup after 17 years! I am experienced with senior care and understand the extra time and love they need. In addition to caring for my dog, I’ve also fostered puppies, help with dog walking around the neighborhood, and have experience watching cats long term as well. With the flexibility of working from home, I’m excited to spend more time with your pets as I am a true animal lover! I currently work from home full time in Battery Park which allows me the flexibility to adjust my hours and step out during the day to help with at home drop ins, walks, and more! I’m happy to adjust my environment to what makes your pet the happiest and best fits their routine! As a dog owner, I have lots of toys and comfy beds here already.

About: Hey pet owners, I’m Camelia. I am a pet owner and animal lover. It will be my pleasure to walk your dog, pet or just sit him/ her. I have over 800 services including walking, boarding and sitting on Wag! as seen in the picture above. I also have reviews from other pet owners as seen in the picture. Dogs become part of everyone’s family and I respect each of you that have a pet. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice day and thank you in advance for reading this. P.S I received requests and later on are canceled due a lack of reasons. I understand that pet owners prefer someone with many reviews instead of someone that just started. I also use other dog app where I have many good reviews with many different breeds. I had to lowered my rates here just to get requests and being able to receive reviews. I am more than happy to share my experience from the other app with you upon request. Thank you! I can run with your dog to the dog park. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can help your furry when he/ she needs a potty break, walk or just playing around. I live in an apartment. There is no fence around the building. One block away there is a dog park where me and your furry can have fun.
“Alexandra was amazing with our little puppy! She was very responsive and sent updates on how Lou was doing throughout her time with him. She’s so sweet and took such great care of him. I highly recommend!!”
