This is my first time using a dog-walking service. I was extremely nervous. However, Areana ensured that I would be comfortable. Ms.Areana remained in constant communication, very professional, and seemed extremely nice. She completed all of my requests with no hesitation nor issues. Even after just one experience I would recommend her services. Looking forward to using her again in the near future. Note: I love how Areana sends photographs of the experience as well as a documentation of what occurred on the walk.

Alexa was so sweet and gentle with Mango. She was super responsive over text and walked Mango inside our building since it was cold. She also carried him away from the building at my request so he could do his business, and took cues from him on his comfort levels the entire time. You know dog people when you see them. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.

About: Hi there! I’m Sanai, and I’ve been walking dogs for as long as I can remember. From my childhood as the family's designated dog walker to recently working for a dog walking company, I know just how important it is to treat every pup with love, care, and respect. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the block or an energetic run in the park, I’m here to ensure your dog gets the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. You can trust me to provide your furry friend with the same care and love I’ve given my own dogs over the years. I’m all about building a bond with your pet, so they feel comfortable and happy every time they see me. My goal is to make sure your dog has a safe, enjoyable time with me, and I promise to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know exactly how your pup is doing. Let’s give your dog the walk they’ve been waiting for! 🐾 I’m flexible and ready to work around your schedule! Whether you need a morning stroll to start the day, an afternoon break, or a late evening walk, I’ve got you covered. I understand that life can get busy, so I’m here to provide your pup with the care and attention they need whenever you need it. My goal is to make sure your dog’s routine stays as consistent as possible—no matter the time or day. Let’s make sure your furry friend never misses a walk! 🐕✨ Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! With experience handling a wide variety of crates and being trained in the use of different harnesses, I’m well-equipped to ensure your pet’s walk is safe and secure. I take extra care to keep your pup’s environment calm and protected, which means I’ll make sure they don’t approach other dogs on the sidewalk, respecting their space and keeping them safe from potential distractions. You can trust that I’ll treat your furry friend with the same care and attention I would my own—ensuring every walk is not only fun but also worry-free for you!

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits and other small rodents, and some reptiles :) I grew up in a pet-oriented family and have been raised alongside animals all of my life! Although I specialize in cat care, I’m well-versed with animals of all kinds - different species, sizes, temperaments, personalities, and ages. I petsit all the time for my friends and family and love doing so, and I work/have worked in residential buildings where I have experience in interacting with/taking care of other people’s animals, especially cats and dogs. I’m always happy to make sure animals are comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I’m also experienced with delivering medication, which my own fur baby needs daily. I am a PhD student that teaches online. My schedule is pretty flexible! Specific Availability: Tuesdays and Thursdays: After 2pm Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: Available Anytime! I have a go-bag of treats and toys to offer when I do check-ins at your home! I’m also very careful to follow instructions for pet care, as I know each animal has its own needs and routines.
