“Michelle is an excellent dog walker. She is thoughtful, caring and has a great sense of humor. My dog is a game player and she has her number. Thank you Michelle for all you do.”

“Annamaria saved us with a last minute walk for our girl when we weren't able to take her ourselves. She was so sweet with our dog and took her on a great walk. We are so grateful we found Annamaria and will 100% be working with her again! :)”

About: My main service is cat boarding! I have everything for every type of cat! I have wall perches and beds for cats who like to climb, I have tons of cat safe places for a shy cat to hide, and I have probably 10 different cat trees and scratch towers, and of course an endless amount of toys! My house is also always 100% dog free! My home is basically a kitty wonderland 🐈⬛ ⭐️ I NEVER board or sit dogs in my own home. My house is 100% dog free 365 days of the year! I know this is very important to some cat parents! ⭐️ I’m currently not available for any dog sitting or drop in services! I mainly specialize in cat care at this current moment! I don’t have dogs in my home, so if you’re looking for a cat sitter without dogs, I’m a good pick! I have cared for dozens of cats between sitting, boarding, and fostering. I have experience with cats with all different temperaments. If your cat prefers to hide for days at a time, or bounces off the walls at 3 am, I’ve seen it all!
“Sylvia is a great communicator and very caring to my dog. She made sure he got his water, wore his cooling vest, shoes and stayed safe during the most intense heat wave. She eased my worries, I highly recommend Sylvia!”

“This was my first time booking Melissa and it couldn’t have gone any better! Melissa was an excellent walker for Mocha. She was very communicative and kept me updated on their walks. She took wonderful care of Mocha and even helped with other tasks in the house, as well! I would definitely recommend Melissa and would rebook with her too :)”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, and for the past few years I’ve helped out neighbors with dog-sitting and walking. In my hometown, I volunteer at the local animal shelter, where I walk the rescue animals and help keep their spaces clean. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for :) I’m a student, so my availability can vary, but I usually have free time on certain mornings or afternoons during the week, as well as on weekends. It really just depends on the day, and I’m happy to work with your schedule! I know how important trust is when it comes to caring for your pets. I’ve done basic training with my own dogs, and I bring that same patience and care when looking after others
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”

“Highly recommend! She is incredibly caring, thorough, and communicative. I always appreciate the updates she provides about the timing and length of the walk, and pictures of the walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands and having such a great time. Reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does!”

About: I’ve taken care of my sisters dog since she had rescued her since she was a puppy and has cared and loved for it no matter when the dog needed attention. I’m looking to take care of your pets on the side while i finish my degree in university. I have lots of availability as i am nearing the end of my school, so my schedule is open. I’d love to take care of your pets needs. I care for my pet by walking it, feeding her, playing with her and taking her to dog parks and meeting my friends so she can be active with others. I also have a cat who i take care of each and every day because he is very needy so I’m no stranger to special treatment for your pets.
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.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals of all sizes. I owned a Husky for 2 years, so I am very comfortable with high-energy pets, but I enjoy walking dogs of every breed. My background working with horses has taught me patience and how to keep every animal safe and calm. I am a very serious and punctual person who lives locally in Floral Park I have a very flexible schedule and I am available throughout the week. Since I am used to early mornings, I can accommodate walks or visits as early as 6:00 AM. I am dedicated to pet care full-time right now, which means your pet will be my top priority and I can easily adjust to the times that work best for you and your dog's routine. Safety is my number one priority. When I am in a client's home, I make sure the environment is secure before and after the visit. My experience with large animals has taught me to always be aware of my surroundings and the pet's behavior. I am very respectful of your space, I always double-check locks and gates, and I make sure your pet is calm and has fresh water before I leave.
“Dean is great!! Super reliable, communicative and amazing with my dog Dior. I booked Dean superrr last minute this weekend and he responded immediately, kept me updated throughout the walks and I can’t wait to book him again”

“It’s was such a blessing to have Cynthia walk our furry baby Aria during our 17 day trip overseas. She showed to be responsible, reliable and very loving with Aria. She sent me daily pics and documented every walk. It was such a joy to hear daily from their walks. Aria adores her and will keep coming back for more and more walks in the near future. Thank you so much Cynthia! Aria adores and misses you!”

“Cassidy has been a fantastic dog walker for our pup Theo! We needed some last minute care, and she has been great with booking and communication. She has been so easy to contact and sends a bunch of updates leading up to and after the walks.”

“Tyler was super communicative. My puppy was super happy when she got home so I know she had a good walk. Tyler also took a lot of pics. Will definitely book again!”
