“I enlisted assistance of Bianca when I needed to board my pets over the holiday due to last minute work reassignment and Bianca made herself available on short notice. I also placed my babies in her daycare and she was more than helpful in rearranging her schedule to meet our needs.She has been more than kind, attentive and accommodating to my babies, Autumn and Pumpkin, from the moment they met. She took the time to bring her baby, Bb, to meet my pups I and ensured that everyone got along. She's focused on assuring me that my babies needs are met with contact continuously while they're in her care - with pictures videos and text updates. If you're looking for a dedicated, responsible, caring individual to care for your babies, then have found the one in Bianca. I am so grateful for the care she has provided my babies and will continue to enlist her help in the future.”

“Mariah was extremely helpful when I needed a sitter on a short notice! She was communicative and sent pictures of my puppy to let me know how he was settling in.

About: I had plenty of pets growing up and I take full responsibility for pets. I will care for your pets as they were family 👪 My schedule is pretty flexible and I would work around your schedule for your convenience.

“Dobby had the best week with Jeraldine. He’s very comfortable in her care and was excited to see her everyday”


About: I've always had a deep affection for animals, and have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I have a calm and joyful demeanor that immediately puts dogs at ease. I've cared for dogs with many different personality types and individual needs, and since I genuinely love spending time with dogs, they're always happy to see me. I currently work part-time in the late afternoons as a music teacher, and am available 7 days a week to care for your dog. I share a house with my parents, and my mom Karen (pictured in the last photo) is usually home whenever I'm out to fill in for me. She's also very caring and knowledgeable so your dog will always be in good hands. Depending on location, I'm also able to care for your dog in their own home. We have a house in Yonkers with a large fenced backyard, but of course, will always supervise and leash dogs outside. Please tell me any information you can about your dog's personality and individual needs so that I can prepare to give them the care they deserve. I will always care for your dog as if they were my own, with their safety and comfort as my top priority.

“Very kind and gentle with my dog. Responsible, good communication and observant. I appreciate highly all of these qualities! We will work with her again.”


About: I’ve been doing dog walking with wag since July of 2022. Mostly dog walkings. So let me know, how I can help you. I would love to take care of your pet too. I’m currently available full time, so let me know what time and day would work best for your schedule and we can work something out! I live in an apartment I have window protection, and I have a big park around the corner so that would be ideal for long walks . Especially if you have an energetic dog .

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was 4, growing up with two pups—one large and one small—until I was 15. More recently, I raised a puppy for a year before helping them find their forever home. My experience spans all ages and sizes, from playful pups to strong large breeds. I’m confident, patient, and truly love connecting with each dog’s unique personality. I currently work a part-time remote job, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be responsive throughout the day. I have every evening free, as well as all day Friday, which I can fully dedicate to your pet’s care. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available when it matters most to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I treat every pet like family, making their safety and comfort my top priority. In your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I’m gentle, patient, and always alert to your pet’s behavior to ensure they feel secure and well-cared for. I create a calm, loving environment—whether it’s giving them space to relax, playtime to stay active, or simply being present so they never feel alone. Building trust with both pets and their owners is what matters most to me.

Cassandra V.
“Cassandra is wonderful with my dog Rodrigo! Usually Rodrigo is very crazy around people, he often likes barking at girls for no reason, peeing on guys, chewing and sucking on things he shouldn't! Cassandra somehow has gotten him to behave in the last few weeks and it seems Rodrigo can at least now go out with someone who understands him. Now if only Cassandra could find away to make sugar free brownies that taste good! She would be my hero!”
