“Laura is the best there is. She looks after Ralph my dog so well, he’s a high energy dog and she handles it with stride. 10 out of 10 couldn’t recommend Laura more. Very reliable and friendly / easy to book with”


“Mandel was super easy to work with and communicated great. He gave Marni a lot of belly rubs so I know he immediately won him over. Will be hiring Mandel again in the future.”

“Melanie is wonderful! She treated my dog Gwen with kindness and care while walking her. I had peace of mind knowing she was in excellent hands. I will definitely use her again!”

“Ashley is very professional. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence and assessing his needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and wonderful. She is punctual and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney and he really looks forward to going for his walk with her. Five stars are not enough to describe how we feel about Ashley!”


About: Im reliable, communicative and caring! I try my best to accommodate every owner as a pet owner myself. I have had dogs, cats and even reptiles. I work from 8-4PM and my husband who will be assisting me works from home. Located in Woodhaven Queens I work Monday through Friday from 8-4PM. My husband works from home and helps me if I ever need anything. I’m available up to 3 times per day and can adjust based on preference. For in home visits I can check in every 6-8 hours for any owners traveling. I include pictures, videos , and updates to share all the details of our visit. I’m very easy to communicate with and am willing to adjust to your needs and expectations!
“Ocho loves Thoselin! She’s been very conscientious and reliable, and I trust her in my home and with my baby. Ocho can be anxious and hard to get outside, but she’s been flexible and, judging by the photos she sends, he has a great time with her!”

About: My first time taking care of a dog and house sitting was in 2018. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Even though the pandemic has changed how we live our lives, I am definitely looking forward to getting back to Dog walking or sitting. I currently work full-time. I can be available on the weekends. The morning or even the afternoon works well with me. I can also try to change my schedule if needed. I follow any instructions given to me on how to care for a pet. I have and will treat them as if they were mine.
“We cannot say enough great things about Jake as a walker and a kind and thoughtful individual. Jake is a very responsible: always on time, follows directions and is very attentive to our growing puppy. Jake is proactive in communicating any potential issue that may need our attention and makes sound judgment calls in shortening walks should our puppy overheat due to hot and humid weather conditions. He is also very mindful to not let our puppy interact with strangers on their walks to prevent any potential issues. Jake is extremely respectful and truly cares about walking dogs.. We have used Jake for over 1 month 3x times a week and he has never let us down. He is highly recommended!!”

About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.
“I feel very fortunate to have Tedy to care, walk and entertain my Jack Russell when I am working. She has been taking care of my dog consistently for close to 4 months and it feels like family. She keeps me informed of everything so I don’t have any worries. Tedy will be excellent at any and everything she does and I have complete confidence anyone would say the same.”

“At a pinch, Catalina is there. Had a last minute schedule change and no one to walk my girl and give her meds. I reach out to Catalina and with such short notice she was able to help me out.”
“Deanna has been working our Luna for 3-4 weeks now. And she absolutely AMAZING!! Our dog responds very well to her, and gets very excited to see her. Deanna is very helpful, kind, patient with us and our Luna. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND her😊”

About: I've had 4 fish, 4 cats and I used to work in a doggie daycare. I currently work as a professional dog walker in one of the many Manhattan based companies! I also use Wag and have dog sitting experience, as well as experience with reactive, aggressive and anxious dogs. I also can board multiple dogs from different households at a time! I have open availability any time as I work from home, and can do overnight stays at any time! I can give constant photos and updates as well. I make sure all doors are locked, all pets are given fresh water and feed daily, with washed pet bowls, crated if need be, that every strap on a leash collar or harness is secure before leaving the apartment, and I also have heavy duty leashes for pullers, reactive or large dogs and water bowls. I also make sure that anything dangerous like medications or human food are out of the reach of all animals.
“Ed was amazing with Kurama! Took the time to meet him the day before his first walk, and was extremely gentle with Kurama. Ed was also very respectful when entering the house as well. I highly recommend !”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have had pets all my life. Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles and fish. I know first hand how scary it can feel to leave your loved ones in the hands of a stranger. You do not have to worry with me- I will take care of them as if they are my own and send you lots of pictures. I will respect your pets unique quirks and you can be assured that you won’t come home to a pet who gained a couple pounds. Anything your pet needs- I am here. I’ve taken several classes in pet training (cats and dogs) and done online courses on pet behavior studies. I’m an auditor so I can do hybrid work. If you give me enough notice, I’ll work from home the entire week so I can give your pet the attention it needs! I have a one bedroom apartment so I can separate animals into three rooms: my room, the kitchen, and the living room. The entire apartment is pet- proofed so no cords or wires are showing anywhere.
“Jasmine is EXCEPTIONAL! On time, responsive, sweet and so good with Sophie. Jasmine makes sure Sophie gets to make the most out of her time outside with treats and lots of positive reinforcement.”

“Amazing as always. My dog had a great time with her, and immediately chugged water when he got home from the walk. He hates drinking water! Glad he got some exercise, or at least as much as his little Chihuahua legs will allow him.”

We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diana is wonderful. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence (Cagney is a "Velcro" dog who spends a lot of time at home with my husband) and assessing our dog's needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and professional. She is punctual, and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney. Cagney looks forward to seeing her and she updates us on his progress during his walks as he becomes more accustomed to being with her. Five stars and much thanks to Diana!

Mayely is incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated !! She was very communicative with me and it was clear through her words and actions how much she cared for my dog. She was patient with him, walked at his pace, and was eager for him to “use all the facilities”. Will be booking again!!

Christina was great! Our dog can be a little stubborn, but she took the time to make sure Pizza went to the bathroom in rainy conditions (no easy feat!). She was great at communication, thorough in noting our directions, reliable, and our dog immediately seemed comfortable with her. Thanks, Christina!

Charlie was wonderful with my two dogs. Could tell they really took to him to and enjoyed their walks. They can be very reactive to other dogs but he was keen in navigating that challenge, and ensuring everyone’s safety (they’re giant love bugs at home/with people. Just don’t get along with other dogs). Would definitely recommend him if you need a walker. He has my full trust.
