Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.

About: I have 7 years of pet experience, aside from owning pets my entire life. i regularly took care of my neighbors 6 dogs (5 small, 1 medium) while she would go on work trips or vacation. I also had another neighbor who had a larger dog that I would walk and bathe. I have owned a wide variety of pets including dogs, rabbit, hermit crabs, cats and hamsters. I am a huge animal lover and will make any of the necessary accommodations for your pet! I am a college student who has a lot of free time to spend with your furry friend. When i’m not at school i am usually spending time with my 2 dogs, taking them on walks, hikes, swimming, etc. I get so much gratification from seeing a happy pet! I am a college student who works part time who has plenty of spare time to walk/babysit dogs. i am a huge animal lover and it always brings me so much joy to see a happy pet! Depending on what the owner tells me, i will either let the dog into the backyard or walk them, and follow any feeding/grooming instructions they give me.

About: I have spent many years caring for my own rescue pups and volunteering at a local animal shelter. I am very patient and focus on understanding your dog's unique needs. Your dog's happiness is my #1 priority. I work from home and have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs. I love going for long walks with a furry friend. I am available for boarding weekdays and weekends. I am located in a quiet neighborhood with many options for walks and have a large yard for play and activities. I will always make sure your pet is secure on their leash before stepping outside and will keep them safe on walks and around the home. I will ensure that they get the attention that they deserve.

About: I've walked dogs (both my own and friends/customers) for the last few years. I've also previously owned my own dog for a few years. I'm able to keep your pups healthy, happy and well cared for while you are away. I am happy to provide walks, brush their hair, maintain routines, administer medication and feed. I promise to treat your dogs like they are my own. I work full-time in Soho and have a pretty flexible schedule. Although I don't have the same days off every week, I will update my schedule on the app accordingly. I have a fenced porch and live in a duplex apartment. I do have a cat in the apartment but she is timid and typically stays to herself. There are lots of parks nearby for dogs to play or be walked in.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up my family and I have adopted 3 dogs. I absolutely love working with dogs - big, small, old, hyper, I’m your gal! I have a couple years of experience working at a doggy day care as well as some dog bathing services. I’m a junior currently attending Ramapo College. I commute to class and am available for multiple days a week. I’m usually always available on the weekends! I have a fenced yard for my dog but she is not the friendliest. I tend to bring her to the dog park where she gets along with other dogs in a bigger/more open area.

About: I have owned cats and dogs since I was a child, now I'm a mom to TWO police K9's and a high anxiety breed older dog. I work from home on my own schedule as a realtor, so I can be flexible with care based on the needs of the client. I have two small children at home so, while we do offer vacation sitting- I am unable to stay overnight. However, multiple visits per day is fine. We do also offer kennel boarding at our home as an alternative Any in home visits are under the complete control of the clients instructions, we treat them just as you would! We also have an incredibly clean and sanitary boarding area of our home if you would like that option as well. Lots of playtime in our double fenced in yard is all included in your stay.

Morgan was great, and was willing to walk our < 3 month old puppy twice a day on VERY short notice. She was extremely nice, professional, and even sent me pictures to let me know how my pup was doing. We will definitely be using Morgan’s services again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for some help with their dog.

About: My experience with pet sitting goes beyond just having my own. I have been watching other people's pets since I was a teenager and I am great with all dogs. I have my own dog so it's just part of my day. My daily routine includes walking feeding, playing and letting him roam free in the yard. I have a fenced in yard so pets can run free. I also enjoy going on long walks. Making sure my dog is well groomed is a big deal. He always smells good, nails are trimmed and fur I'd brushed/blown out.
