“Adam is amazing! He is punctual and takes great walks with Honey. I look forward to the selfies and pictures during the walk! He always is there when I need a walker in a pinch!”
“Kahlan was able to help me out on super short notice and did a wonderful job! Very prompt, very polite, and took great care of my dog. Would recommend 100% and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Cassandra is the best! Frankie can be nervous around new people and Cassandra was very patient with her. Cassandra also communicates well and sends lots of updates and pictures. Highly recommend her for anyone in need of a walker!!”
“Had Zack walk Maggie for the first time this weekend and he was punctual & so helpful in stepping in while my regular Dogwalker’s were on vacation. Definitely someone I would use again!!”
“Emily is the best! She is always very prompt and Dorothy comes back so happy and tired! Dori is always so excited to see Emily. I’m coordinating a cross country move with a broken foot, so having someone I can depend on to care for Dori has been so great.”
“She is great with dogs! My wife was a witness of Tobi behaving great while walking with Brie as opposed to how he pulls and barks all the time when he walks with us. She was really accomodating when I contacted on the last minute because our usual walker got sick. 100% recomendable and depenable!”
About: First time I asked my mom for a four legged friend when I was 4 years old. I got my first kitty when I turned 8. Then we took one more when I was 14, and the last one in the last year. My feelings to pets always were special. I’ve never got tired of admiring how gorgeous they were and how loving and open-hearted they stay no matter what. I love see them playing, hunting on fake mouses and purring while making biscuits on my blanket. Unfortunately sometime ago I found out my last cat (which is captured on my profile pic) has a heart failure. He has a short lifetime and needs to take pills everyday to stay safe and sound, full of energy. This situation showed me the real problems we can meet when we decide to take care of someone. It made me strong and more attentive. For now I know not only how to love but how to CARE of someone you love. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time to spend hours with your baby! Everyday I visit different places as Manhattan, Brooklyn and Jersey, so I can definitely visit those who is not in my radius also! So as I said I have a cat who needs to take medicine daily, so I’m easily dealing with this: giving oral medications in tablets or liquids, also I’m dealing with ointments
“Anna was absolutely incredible to work with! She was so kind and caring with my older dog and went above and beyond to send pictures and updates throughout her walks with him. I would highly recommend her and would definitely book her again!”
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.
“Claudia was great walking our dog Pixel! She’s easy to work with and very reliable. Pixel can definitely be a handful when meeting new people, but Claudia handled him amazingly from the start, and he clearly enjoyed his walk with her!”
“Minako is amazing! She looks after my 4 month Cavapoo and loves her like she was her own. Minako always sends pictures and updates. I’m so grateful that I’m able to leave my puppy home and trust that she is in great hands with Minako coming to take her on walks.”
“Samantha has taken really good care of our dog. She has given her very good walks and has been very communicative at all times. We will definitely go to her in the future.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since childhood and cared for my family’s mini poodle for years. While I can’t currently have a dog of my own due to apartment restrictions, I’m excited to spend time with others’ pets through sitting and walking — and care for them as if they were my own. I always go the extra mile to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved, and to give owners total peace of mind. My goal is to build trust and form a genuine bond with every dog I meet. I work from the office three days a week (usually Tuesday to Thursday), and I’m available for pet care the rest of the time. On Mondays and Fridays, I can do multiple walks or drop-in visits, and I’m flexible on weekends as well. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine: feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they feel relaxed by giving them lots of attention and keeping their environment calm and familiar. I also send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away.
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.

Kayla S.
“To whom it may concern, I am writing to fully support Kayla Schoerie as a dog walker. Kayla has a calm, confident energy that animals are naturally drawn to. My dog, Milo, absolutely loves her. Most sitters try to earn that kind of trust, Kayla just has it. Whether she’s walking Milo, playing with him at the park, or looking after him at home, she always keeps me in the loop with pictures and even the occasional FaceTime. Kayla is steady, responsible, and brings real peace of mind. She’s great with routines, dietary needs, exercise, and cuddles. She's hands-on and genuinely invested in the pets she cares for. I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind-hearted, and capable pet sitter or walker. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.”
