About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets since I was little. Pets of my own, family and friends. I’ve always been dependable and so loving of animals. I’m here to give them the little bit of extra love throughout the day while the parents are away. I am available throughout most of the day! I have my own car, no problem there. I can do multiple potty breaks throughout the day if necessary! I provide pets with a happy environment. I do live in an apartments so I don’t usually care for pets in my home but I can if needed.
“Thank you Melanie for both dog walks today , and for coming earlier at the last minute! Buddha has gotten to love you both .. 5 stars plus for this great couple ❤️❤️”
About: “I’m passionate about spending time outdoors and love caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Walking dogs isn’t just about exercise, it’s about giving them attention, love, and a little adventure every day. Reliable, friendly, and attentive, I make sure every walk is safe, fun. I’m available to walk dogs on weekends because I have flexible free time and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the week, I’m available after 5:00 PM and can provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m committed to making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. While Walking: Ensuring the dog is safe on a leash at all times. Watching for hazards like traffic, other animals, or unsafe terrain. Giving plenty of exercise suited to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level. Offering water breaks during longer walks. Engaging with the dog—playing, talking, and giving attention. Monitoring behavior and mood to prevent stress or discomfort. Cleaning up after the dog responsibly. Adjusting pace or route based on the dog’s needs. While Watching (At Home or Elsewhere): Feeding the dog on schedule with the proper food and portions. Making sure fresh water is always available. Giving love, attention, and mental stimulation through toys or interaction. Keeping the dog safe and comfortable in their environment. Following any specific care instructions from the owner. Monitoring health or unusual behavior and alerting the owner if needed. Administering medication if required. Maintaining a clean living area (picking up messes, washing dishes, etc.).
“Amanda is absolutely conscientious and dependable, but what REALLY shines is the calm demeanor and gentle nature that won over our old but still a bit rambunctious Mac immediately. Dogs always seem to know who to trust and he wasn't wrong. Sad to see her go, but we'll most definitely hire her again!”
“Madison is great! Great communication, followed all the steps needed to properly walk Enzo and went above and beyond to ensure my dog was taken care of. The photos provided during the walks were a nice touch and shows that Madison provides high quality customer service!! I would highly recommend Madison and would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“We had Kerri walk our dog Honey twice a day while we were away for five days. She was excellent, always prompt, and Honey loved her walks. She was communicative and sent pictures and updates, which we appreciated. We definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
About: My name is Morgan. I love animals no matter what type, breed, size or age. I have one dog and three cats, all of which I rescued from animal shelters. I love my pets more than anything, if you choose me to watch your pets, I can guarantee you I’ll treat them like my own pets! I am very organized and personable. I pride myself in being very tidy and respectful, especially while inside your home. I will focus 100% of my time on your pets while I am working with them because I find it very important to always show animals the love and attention they deserve. Please feel free to ask me any questions about me, my experience or my availability! I look forward to hearing from you! Pet care is honestly just woven into my daily routine at this point, it doesn't feel like a separate task. My mornings start with feeding and a walk, which actually gives me a great reason to get outside and move before I sit down to work. Throughout the day I'm mindful of keeping things consistent for them, meals, playtime, making sure they're not just sitting alone for too long. Evenings are usually when we wind down together, which I genuinely look forward to. It's one of those things that adds structure to my day without feeling like a chore, more like a grounding ritual than a responsibility. I care for pets the same way I'd want someone to care for mine, with consistency, attention, and a lot of patience. In my own home, that means sticking to a routine they can rely on: regular feeding times, daily walks or play sessions, and making sure their space is clean and comfortable. I pay close attention to their moods and energy levels because animals communicate a lot through behavior, and catching when something feels off early makes a big difference. When it comes to caring for a client's pet, I make it a priority to understand their specific needs before I ever step through the door. Every pet is different, different diets, different temperaments, different routines, and I take detailed notes on all of it. I follow the owner's instructions closely, keep their environment familiar and stress-free, and always communicate updates so the owner feels confident and informed while they're away. I treat their home with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, and I treat their pet like my own.
About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own. I’m available most weekdays after work and weekends with notice. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or house rules and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From walks and feedings to baths, medication, and extra snuggles — I’ll treat your pet like part of the family!
About: Animal lover since the day I was born! I have a 5 year old cat named Lilly who is extremely friendly with other pets so I can bring pets to my house. I worked at New York’s Best Pets on Dyckman 200 Street before it burned down unfortunately and there I took care of feeding, grooming and playing with the pets as well as customer service. I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, from walking to dog sitting. I have given prescribed medicine to dogs when they needed it and have trimmed their hair when asked to, as well as given them a full shower and a good groom. I live next to Raynor Beach Country Park and I love going out for walks and runs so you know your dogs will always have a good time and stay fit! I’ve been taking care of pets most of my life and I want to give pets the best experience they’ve ever had. I’m athletic so I have plenty of energy to burn. With me, I can guarantee your pets will have a great time and you’ll be satisfied with how they’ve been taken care of!
“Thank you, Albert. I’m very grateful to know I can trust Bella to be with you during my long days away. It’s a relief and you’re so thoughtful with her! We are blessed to have you take care of our dog & give our family peace of mind when we get home.”

handles my senior dog extremely well and carefully...She even started doing something that i had never thought of.....Kerry is always on time and if ever an issue reaches out right away to let me know even when its the littliest thing. I was very hesitant about trusting my dog with a complete stranger for the first time ever and her caring work eased my concerns right away...will use her again when her situation allows it and definitely would recommend her when she is back to work
Lindsay has been walking Tobey and Poppy for a few months now. We absolutely love her! She takes the time to spend with them and makes sure they are happy. She is a great communicator, we always know how they enjoyed the walk. She goes above and beyond with time spent and caring for my dogs. She is really appreciated!
