Dog Walking Red Hook

About: Animals have been part of my life since I was a kid, starting with the cat I grew up with. Since 2019, I've been the go-to pet sitter for nearly all my closest friends, caring for both dogs and cats. Today I have a dog and two cats of my own, so taking care of animals is something I do every single day. With my own crew, I've got high-energy, anxious and everything in between, so I know firsthand how different each pet's needs can be. I'll match the pace, route, and approach to your furry fruend. I work for myself, so my schedule is flexible: midday walks, last-minute requests, and regular weekly slots all work. Every morning and evening I look after my pets before and after work. But I work from home so very flexible. Make sure all doors are shut so they don’t get into any messes. Keep all sharp items away and out of reach. Leave no food out for them to eat and get sick. Keep water refilled at all times. Create barriers to litter boxes to avoid pets that don’t belong there getting into it. Keep them out of kitchen area and other areas that could be dangerous.

“Sam is wonderful! He’s incredibly responsive, even at short notice, and has been such a help with our hectic schedules. Most importantly, Denver always looks forward to his morning walks with him. We’re so grateful to have found Sam and would happily recommend him!”

“Todd walked my large pile of energy regularly for months and Winston loved him! He was super communicative and flexible, which was very appreciated for my ever-changing work schedule.”

Dahlia T.

“Daria is extremely attentive and responsive. She was able to help us on very short notice. Denver loves his walks. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, friendly walker”

“Yim is a wonderful dog walker! She’s super communicative, responsible, and very sweet to my small dog. She asked detailed questions during our meet and greet and is very considerate. I recommend her!”

“Nelson clearly has a way with dogs, his immediate presence when meeting our dog was like Cesar Milan had walked into the room! He was reliable, consistent, and great with our Phoebe.”

Carter J.

“Cagri was very friendly and my Rocky loved him. He was able to handle his big goofy self. Rocky walked calmly next to him outside and did his business a few times. Cagri communicated with me when he was on his way and took pictures while on the walk. WIll definitely use him again for my dogs walk. Rocky gives him 2 paws up.”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs, I bring a calm, attentive, and knowledgeable approach to pet sitting. I’ve lived with cats my entire life, including my current senior cat of 14 years who has had various health complications—so I’m well-versed in administering medications and keeping a close eye on behavioral changes. I’m comfortable trimming nails, brushing, and caring for multiple cats in a household. I also have a strong background with dogs, having grown up with a high-energy border collie/Australian shepherd mix, and I’ve since cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to large Labradors. Whether it’s a brisk walk, belly rub, or extra attention for pets with special needs, I’m here to provide safe, loving, and personalized care. My weekly schedule is flexible and pet-friendly! I work in-office 2–3 days a week, so on those days, I’m available for early morning, evening, and possibly lunchtime visits depending on location. On the days I work from home and on weekends, I can easily stop by multiple times throughout the day for walks, feedings, or check-ins. I’m happy to coordinate visit times that work best for your pet’s routine and can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, respectful, and stress-free environment. I treat every home with the same care and consideration I would my own, following any specific instructions closely to ensure routines are maintained and pets feel secure. I’m attentive to safety—double-checking doors, gates, and food or medication schedules—and I’m always mindful of each pet’s unique personality and comfort level. Whether it’s keeping a quiet, familiar environment for shy cats or providing structured walks for energetic pups, my goal is to build trust with both you and your pet through reliability, communication, and genuine care.

About: Hi, I'm Caroline! I've been taking care of friends and neighbors dogs for years, and it's honestly one of my favorite things to do. I work from home in Brooklyn, so your pet won't be left alone all day, and we live less than a minute from Sunset Park, which pretty much doubles as our backyard. Expect lots of walks and time outside. My husband loves animals just as much as I do and is always around to help, so your pet gets two people looking out for them. We don't have any pets or kids of our own, which means a calm home and your pet gets our full attention. I've also cared for dogs with medical needs, giving medications on schedule and keeping a closer eye on them throughout the day. If your pet needs a little extra care, I take that seriously and will follow your instructions exactly. I'll keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible and send regular photo updates so you never have to wonder how they're doing! I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. I'd love to set up a meet and greet so you and your pet can get comfortable with us first! My day already revolves around being home, which makes pet care easy to fit in. I work from home, so I'm around for feeding times, meds, and bathroom breaks without having to rush back from anywhere. Mornings usually start with a walk over to Sunset Park, and we'll head back out midday and again in the evening. In between, your pet can hang out with me while I work or hang on the couch to get some extra cuddles. My husband is around to help too, so if I'm on a call or stepping out, someone's always there. Since we don't have pets or kids of our own, our schedule is flexible and your pet gets our full attention. Whether your pet stays with us or I come to you, I keep them safe and on their normal routine. Before any stay, I'll go over feeding, meds, walks, quirks, and your emergency info. At our place, things are calm and pet-proofed, and since I work from home with my husband helping out, someone's almost always with them. At your place, I follow your house rules exactly and make sure everything's locked up and tidy. For pets with medical needs, I give meds on time and watch closely for anything off. If something comes up, I'll contact you right away, and you'll get regular photo updates either way.

About: Hi there, My name is Maya. I have been pet-sitting dogs for quite some time. I absolutely love dogs and thinks it's therapeutic to hang with them so your dogs will always be in great hands when they're with me! If they love play time, I can happily do that as well. I currently work remote and am taking clients in the pet owner's home but will soon open back up to in-home stays with me! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out. I work from home so I am around all the time to take care of a dog's array of different needs, walking, playing, cuddling, etc. Your pet is always safe with me and I am more than willing to send pictures galore during their stay with me, because who doesn't love pics! If your pet needs extra care, as in has separation anxiety or isn't potty-trained, this will be an EXTRA fee.

“Nathan was so sweet and gentle with my older dog. My dog doesn’t often walk that far any moreand mostly just goes out to sniff things but he managed to get her to walk one of her rare multi blocks walks this year! She seemed very happy and comfortable with him. He was prompt and communicative.”

Anne L.

“Julia is an excellent walker for my (sometimes stubborn) medium-size dog. A quick communicator and asked plenty of questions to make sure my boy was all set for weekly walks. Would recommend!”

Liam B.

“Luis has been taking Max out for an hour four mornings a week while my mother recovers from an injury. Usually he goes to Prospect Park, which is Max’s favorite place. His reliability and communication have been excellent and most appreciated.”

Erik E.

“Robert is wonderful! He’s taken great care of my new rescue pup Bette as soon as I had to go back to the office. He’s been so patient, and I’ve appreciated his guidance on how to help Bette get more comfortable on her new city walks. Thank you, Robert! I appreciate you so much.”

“Samantha is reliable, responsive and communicative. She left great Rover card and sent photos for the walk. 5 stars! Would use her again and again :)”

“I highly recommend Nena! Our Cavapoo pup Nelson really enjoyed his walks with her. Nena is punctual, friendly and very sweet with Nelson. If you’re looking for a reliable dog walker, look no further!”

“Stephanie was very professional. We were thankful she was able to fit a last minute meet and greet into her schedule. She convinced our dog to go out in the rain (not an easy task). Stephanie communicated with us throughout the weekend so we were never in doubt as to when she was going to walk our pup and that he was in good hands.”

Kara F.

“Ashley was great! Got my shy pup out with her on a long walk, followed all my instructions, stayed in touch with photos. Highly recommend, will definitely have her take care of my pup in the future.”
