About: I am an unapologetic single cat lady and lover of animals. I've been caring for cats my entire adult life - my own and others - and I can't imagine a life without them. I raised my first cat from kittenhood to her end at nineteen years old, and in that time I learned how special the human/animal relationship is. I know how much you love your pets because I feel the same way. I'm a freelancer, so my time is my own. I can easily come to your home twice a day for feeding or just companionship! I am also able to house-sit without too much advance notice, so if you're in a crunch I'm your girl. Of course I provide the essentials of existence - food, water, a clean box - but we know that cats need more than just the minimum. I will cheerfully offer whatever sort of affection and companionship your beast likes best, and I will make sure they are as happy as possible in your absence.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced walker based in NYC. I grew up with a Bichon Frise who was part of my life for 17 wonderful years, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families. As a former Division I athlete, I bring discipline, focus, and reliability to every walk or pet-sitting job. I've walked over 80 dogs through Wag and maintained a consistent five-star rating, working with breeds of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From energetic puppies to slower paced seniors, I tailor my care to meet your dog’s unique needs. I’m building my dog care business on Rover because this is something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in offering top tier care, clear communication, and peace of mind for pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk or play time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Let’s connect, I’d love to meet you and your pup! During the summer months, I’m available all day on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your schedule whenever possible. If your dog has specific needs whether it's a slower paced walk, medication, extra playtime, or anything in between. I’m open to discussing accommodations to ensure your pup is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Just reach out, and we’ll make it work! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I gave my own for 17 years. Whether we’re walking through busy NYC streets or relaxing indoors, I stay alert and fully present to make sure your dog is safe, secure, and comfortable at all times. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high traffic areas when needed, and follow any specific instructions you provide whether it’s feeding, medications, or preferred walking routes. I'm also experienced in handling a wide range of dog temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. As someone who’s earned a 5-star rating on Wag walking over 80 dogs, I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet. Communication, reliability, and transparency are at the heart of everything I do. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands with someone who genuinely cares.

“Paulina is the best of the best! She goes above and beyond when she visits and I feel so confident leaving my elderly cat in her care. Thank you, Paulina!!”

About: My name is Cayla and I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and special care. I genuinely love getting outside for walks and am comfortable handling larger dogs, including strong pullers. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priorities! I’m available for walks after 5:30pm on weekdays, and since I work from home on Fridays, I can also offer boarding from Thursday through Sunday. I love getting outside for walks, so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise! If I ever need to step out, your pup won’t be left alone for more than 2–3 hours - I make sure they always feel comfortable and cared! I live in a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn with my partner, Matt, and we have plenty of space to make your dog feel right at home. Your pup is welcome to roam the apartment freely, or if they prefer some quiet time, they can have our second bedroom as their own cozy space. For client visits, I’m happy to stay overnight when needed. If you’re nearby, I can also stop by every 3–4 hours to let your dog out, play, and give them some love and attention.

“Marie did an excellent job feeding and administering medication to my cat. My cat is very difficult to give pills to, but Marie was a champ. She was very communicative during visits and would take photos each time. Would hire again.”

About: I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care. I'm currently free on weekdays and sometimes on weekends too, early mornings and afternoons fits for me. I'm flexible for changes in my schedule and can adjust it to yours as well The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

About: Growing up on a farm in Jamaica has enhanced my love for animals. I had multiple responsibilities, included making sure all animals were happy and well cared for. But out of all the animals, dogs brought me the most joy. I love helping animals develop into their full potential. All it takes is patience, which I have a lot of. I currently work full-time from home, this allows me to be more attentive to the animals needs. I enjoy going on daily walks. If owner prefer, I do enjoy long walks in prospect park. I highly recommend this service for larger dogs. I currently live in a massive one bed room apartment in Crown Heights. With plenty of running/playing space. I am a big believe in constant training. With a touch of positive reinforcement.
