Dog Walking Pelham Manor

About: I've been a dog owner for the past 13 years and have also cared for dogs belonging to friends, neighbors, and family members. Through those experiences, I've become comfortable with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. To me, dogs aren't just pets they're family members. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, which is why I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. As a former Division I athlete, I'm active, dependable, and love being outdoors, making me a great match for dogs who enjoy exercise and adventure. At the same time, I understand that every dog is different, and I'm happy to adjust to their individual needs and personality. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll always provide plenty of updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog has a great time and gets the same love and attention they're used to at home! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and exercise they need. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. I'm committed to keeping pet parents updated and ensuring their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency while you're away. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed, pay close attention to their surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family members, so I'll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect that I would expect for my own. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Jorge is the perfect addition to our lives! He takes amazing care of the pups and is so professional. He’s the best thing to happen to us in 2025! Thank you Jorge!!!”

“Tenielle is always great but on this visit she couldn’t get into our house because we messed up the key situation. She waited an extra 15-20 minutes for a friend of ours to come over with a key. She still walked our dogs for the full thirty minutes. We appreciate Tenielle and the effort she made to ensure our dogs were walked.”

About: Hi! I’m Deija, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets—small mammals like hamsters and ferrets, big mammals like dogs and cats, and reptiles ranging from tiny geckos to large snakes and lizards. I’m a very kind, patient, and gentle person, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. No matter their size, personality, or needs, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m reliable, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands. I’d love the chance to care for your companion! I am an online schooler so I can watch your pet every minute that I need too .I also don’t work and only focus on school so your pet will have my undivided attention just like school does for me ! I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and genuine love. Whether in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment so your pet feels secure and cared for. I follow your routine exactly—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions—because consistency matters. I spend plenty of one-on-one time giving attention, enrichment, and comfort, and I’m always gentle and respectful of each pet’s personality and boundaries.

“Kameryn was fantastic with our 2 dogs while we were away. We booked her last minute after our previous dog walking arrangement fell through. She was professional, timely, and diligent. She took great care of our three year old husky and four-year-old lab shepherd mix. Our lab mix can be nervous with new people, but warmed up very quickly to Kameryn! we loved looking at the detailed updates on Rover and photos she took while with the dogs. We love working with her and are excited to book her again in the future!”

About: I grew up with dogs of all kinds back in my country, Georgia. I fed and took care of many feral dogs as well as domestic. Over the last two years, I've assisted my partner in her dog walking endeavors and have learned a lot about their behaviors. I'm very strong and can make sure your dog will be safe and active with me, if needed. I have experience with different breeds including the Caucasian Shepherd, large mixes and apartment breeds. My schedule is very flexible so I have open availability at the moment. I'm looking forward to walking your pup any time, any day. I have a yard at home and a puppy and cats to keep them company. My partner is also usually home to care for them if I need to be anywhere. Whether at mine or yours, I will follow their schedule and make sure your pup is thriving.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I was raised with cats and two dobermans, and I began regularly pet sitting locally in my early teens. I’m comfortable with administering medicine, and I love getting to know pets and taking care of their needs! I am knowledgeable about training and am detail oriented to make sure your pet is comfortable and following their daily routine as closely as possible. I currently have two kitties at home and appreciate how important it is to find an attentive pet sitter for your beloved pets! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your sweet animal(s)! I’m currently working part time, and I am able to comfortably arrange my schedule to fit your pets’ needs! While I do not board, I am regularly available to stay overnight to house/pet sit! I understand how important it is to build trust between pet owners and sitters as well as between the pets themselves and their sitters! I am detail oriented and will check with you to make sure I understand your pet and their needs, and I love to send updates and photos to check in with owners!

“Krstine is AMAZING. This was our first time hiring a dog walker/sitter outside of the family and I could not have chosen a better person than Kristine. She is so caring and attentive and you can tell is a true animal lover. She made sure to know everything there was to know about my dog, made sure the temperature in our home was cool enough for her, made sure her water bowl was full and she had her pre-approved treats, and sent me updates and pictures. Every picture my baby had the biggest smile on her face and I am so happy to have found someone that I quickly came to trust so completely with her. Thank you Kristine!”

“Sally was amazing! I needed someone to walk my puppies at the last minute, and she responded so quickly. She arrived on time, was very knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel comfortable. Both of my puppies loved her during our meet and greet, including my more skittish rescue whom I recently adopted. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care and would definitely recommend her!”

Maribel M.

“PJ is the BEST!!! He's super reliable, always on time, sends the best pictures, gives Chewbacca lots of love and attention and communicates just the right amount. No wonder Chewy loves him. Maybe a little too much?!? Makes me a little jealous actually. But what's better than knowing your dog loves seeing his "second best friend!" I know he's in great and caring hands with PJ!”

About: Because I’m currently on sabbatical, I’m home much more than the average sitter. This allows me to offer consistent companionship, careful supervision, and plenty of one-on-one time. I’m especially skilled at providing a calm, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely loved. I’m also very attentive to routines. I take cues from each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort, and I’m excellent at reading subtle body language—something I’ve learned from years of fostering and caring for more sensitive or shy cats. I use positive, gentle reinforcement and always prioritize your pet’s emotional well-being. Additionally, I’m a great communicator. I provide regular photo updates, respond quickly throughout the day, and make sure you always feel at ease while you’re away. My goal isn’t just to “watch” your pet—it’s to create a nurturing, cozy, and safe experience that feels like a second home. I’m currently on sabbatical after completing 10 years with my company, which means I have a wonderfully flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet my full attention. Caring for animals is something that genuinely brings me joy, so it fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I love starting my mornings with a peaceful walk through the large park near my apartment, and I often take a second mid-day walk to stay active. If your pet loves exploring or needs extra exercise, they’re more than welcome to join me! I also have a car, so I’m able to transport pets safely if they need to visit a vet, try a different park, or simply enjoy a change of scenery. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m intentional about creating a calm, cozy environment and making sure each pet feels included in my everyday routine. I provide a warm, calm, and nurturing home where pets can feel safe and loved. I live in a cozy 1-bedroom apartment with a pet-friendly setup—cats are welcome on all furniture, and I have scratchers, toys, and comfy lounging spots throughout the space. My balcony is fully netted for safety, and I’m only a short walk from a large park, which is perfect for fresh air and enrichment. I currently have one sweet 12-year-old cat who is gentle and used to having other animals around. I’ve cared for her since she was 3 months old, and I also have experience fostering animals—including caring for kittens as young as 4 weeks old—so I’m very comfortable with cats of all ages and personalities. My care style is very warm and hands-on: lots of snuggles, couch time, play sessions, and following the routines that make your pet feel at home. I’m attentive to their body language and habits and always prioritize their comfort and emotional well-being. Safety is a top priority. I keep doors secure, monitor interactions carefully, and have an apartment camera that allows me to check in on pets if I step out briefly. I maintain a clean, clutter-free environment and am mindful about introductions and transitions. For trust and communication, I send regular photo and video updates so you always know your pet is happy and relaxed. I’m very responsive throughout the day—my only downtime is between 10pm–7am, but otherwise you can expect quick replies. My goal is to create a loving, stable, and safe home where your pet feels truly cared for. If you have any specific routines, accommodations, or preferences, I’m more than happy to follow them closely.

“I was honestly really worried about hiring a dog walker because my dog is very reactive, but Tatiana has been amazing. She is not only professional, arrives on time, but clearly experienced, which has put me at ease. I especially love the detailed updates in the app—it shows me everything about my dog’s walk and gives me total peace of mind. After just one walk, my dog already gets excited to see Tatiana, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!”

About: I provide daily updates with pictures and videos, so pet owners feel comfortable and connected with me while I care for their pets and have a peace of mind while separated I currently work part time for an after school program from 1:30-5:30pm. I’m available to do walks/drop in visits with your pets in the mornings and evenings during the week. As for the weekends I have open availability. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, with a focus on safety, comfort, and building trust. For dogs, I follow their walking schedule, exercise needs, and any specific instructions, always providing water and breaks when needed. For cats, I respect their comfort level, keep their food, water, and litter box clean, and provide playtime or quiet companionship based on their personality. I always follow the owner's care instructions and provide updates for peace of mind.

“We found a very wonderful and professional new friend for our Dudley, in Arianna. She takes extra strides, most of the time to be ahead of schedule and followed through our ‘baby’s’ needs, and our requests. She goes beyond the fun walk, and our Dudley looks forward for her morning walks. TYSM Ari! We are looking forward to next week.”

About: My girlfriend and I have a great love and passion for taking care of animals! We treat them all as if they were our own! There’s 2 of us so that means double the love, care, and attention! 💖 Free all Friday and most weekends! My current work schedule allows me to be flexible with the time I have. I also love to get my steps in! Through making sure my pups were well fed and played with, to ensuring their safety with safe and careful socialization, the health and well being always comes first for any pet in my care.

“Yris was great with our Molly. She kept me updated on walks and arrivals. I never had a doubt that Molly was being cared for and definitely felt she was treated as if she was Yris' own. So grateful to have found a kind, trustworthy and reliable caregiver for my pup.”

About: As a new puppy owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My husband and I adopted our puppy from Puerto Rico about four months ago, and we’ve loved every minute of caring for him as he grows. I’ve also been around dogs my entire life. My husband’s 12-year-old Labrador Retriever has been part of the family for years, and I’ve helped care for him as well. On top of that, I’ve spent plenty of time looking after my best friend’s sweet Cavapoo over the years. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or just needs a calm and caring companion, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own pup. As a teacher, I have my summers off, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, loving care for your dog throughout the day. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll be there to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m also planning to continue offering pet care during the school year. As a teacher, my workday ends early, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be home much sooner than many traditional 9-to-5 jobs. I know how important it is to have someone reliable caring for your dog while you’re at work, and I’d love to be that trusted person for you and your pup. Your dog’s comfort and safety would always be my top priority. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a dedicated dog play area on the roof where pups can safely run around and play. We also love spending time outdoors, whether it’s going on neighborhood walks, exploring local parks, or visiting dog parks during the summer. My goal is to make every dog feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, and more! From walking and feeding to bathing and overnight sitting, I’ve been the trusted go-to for family, friends, and neighbors. I truly believe animals bring a special kind of peace, and in return, I give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands while you’re away, so you can relax knowing they’re well cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure each pet receives consistent care, playtime, exercise, and companionship while following their normal routine as closely as possible. I approach caring for pets with love, patience, and a deep understanding of their individual needs. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and stress-free environment. I make sure to stick to their usual routines—feeding, walking, and playtime—so they feel secure and at ease. If I’m in your home, I ensure everything remains as you left it, with added attention to your pet’s safety and well-being. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe space where your pet will get plenty of affection and care. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re with family, wherever they are.

About: I've had animals since I was born: dogs, cats, a bird, a snake, rabbit, hamsters, fish and some other reptiles. While I was born and raised in LA, I just spent the last 3 years living on a ranch in rural Florida with a horse, chickens, emus, dogs and cats. So I'm a big animal lover! I have a cattle dog of my own (very hyperactive) that I recently adopted. She was a stray and has some reactive tendencies. I am very comfortable around dogs with high energy (puppies are great - mine is 9 months old) or dogs with trauma. Dogs are so sensitive to human energy and so I make sure to be supportive and make them feel comfortable around me. I'll make sure to give your pup tons of TLC and ensure they stay properly hydrated and fed. For house sits, I'm happy to water plants, collect mail, and ensure the house stays clean. I'm currently freely available and happy to accommodate your schedule. I will clearly communicate when I will arrive (I hate lateness) and will give you an update of our walk with photos and text! I'm happy to do other things as needed, such as feeding them or administering medication. I don't feel comfortable doing injections though! If your dog is high energy, reactive or aggressive, I would be happy to accommodate his or her tendencies! I love playing with animals and studying them psychologically to create the most comfortable environment for their needs. Please let me know if your pet requires any particular medication, potty break schedules, oral medication or requires feeding in a particular way. I would be happy to accommodate.

About: With 2 years of direct experience and over 20 years of growing up with dogs, I’ve developed a keen eye for their needs and quirks. I’m attentive, communicative, and will keep you updated throughout your pet’s stay, walk, or drop-in visit, ensuring they get the best care possible. I offer a fenced-in backyard for summer play, fresh water, and single-ingredient healthy treats (based on paw-parent permission). Whether your dog loves socializing or needs some solo time, I’m happy to accommodate. Your pup’s safety and happiness are my top priority! I have a flexible job and work from home twice a week, which makes me available for daycare on those days as well as weekends. I’m also available for walks throughout the week, depending on my meeting schedule and office days. I’m happy to coordinate with you to find the best times for your pup! I have a crate for safe and comfy resting, a fully fenced-in yard for play, and plenty of toys and single-ingredient treats on hand. Plus, with my dog Meelo around, your pup will have a fun, friendly companion to keep them company!
