About: I've owned pets since I was a kid, from Aussies to Pitties to cats. I love all animals and their unique personalities. I'm here to help you care for your fur family, from walks to feeding, to sitting. I'm very patient and reliable and have open availability to be here to help when you need it. I'm currently have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to help keep myself occupied as well as another source of income. I'm a single mom of a High School Senior so I have lots of free time to devote to your pets. I'll provide care for your pet in your home. I'll feed, water, walk, entertain and clean up after; however snuggles and pets are free. If your pet has special needs like meds, diet, mobility restrictions, I'll gladly help as needed as well. Your pets will be in good hands.

About: I am always a pet friendly person, many pets like me even when we first meet! Sometimes don’t even need a treat to attract them. Since I have my baby cat at home, I’m already used to daily feedings, litter box cleaning, and spending quality time with animals. Taking care of my baby is second nature to me and easily fits into my regular schedule. During drop-in visits, I can help with all the essentials to keep your cat happy and healthy — cleaning food and water bowls, refilling food and fresh water as needed, and scooping the litter box regularly. If your cat requires medication, I’m also comfortable administering it with clear instructions. I’ll make sure everything stays clean, cozy, and stress-free for your furry friend!

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know every pup has their own personality – whether they're a playful ball of energy or a cozy couch companion. I'll care for your dog like they're my own, with all the belly rubs, fun walks, and patient attention they deserve. Having my own dog has taught me the little things that matter most – sticking to their routine, knowing their favorite scratch spots, and understanding when they need extra comfort. You'll get regular updates with photos so you can see how much fun we're having while you're away! My schedule is very flexible! Since I work from home Monday and Friday, I'm available throughout the day for walks and playtime. Weekends are completely open for pet care too. Your dog would get: • Morning, afternoon, and evening potty breaks/walks • Lunchtime play sessions (perfect for breaking up my workday!) • Plenty of attention between my meetings • Weekend adventures at the park I can easily adjust to your dog's normal routine - just let me know their preferred schedule!" I provide loving, active care for your dog every day! I'll take them on regular walks (we have a great park right next to my townhouse - my own dog goes there daily for playtime and adventures), give them plenty of play sessions, gentle brushing, and even teeth brushing if needed. Your pup will get loads of attention and affection - While I live in a townhouse, we have safe indoor space and immediate access to outdoor fun. My own dog is happy, well-exercised and socialized, and yours will be too!

About: Hi! I’m Davi C., a lifelong dog lover with a background in brand communication and a heart for thoughtful, reliable care. After years working in a high-paced corporate setting, I chose to slow down and spend my days doing something more meaningful — building bonds with dogs, and supporting the families who love them. 🐾 Why do clients choose me? • Over 15 years of hands-on dog care • Calm, mature, and highly responsible • Fluent in English & Mandarin — I work with many multicultural families • Based steps from Central Park — your pup’s walk begins in nature • Clear, consistent communication with photo updates every time Every dog I meet is different — some are confident explorers, some are shy observers, and some just want a peaceful stroll with someone who “gets them.” My job is to tune in, adjust, and make each walk feel safe, fun, and stress-free. These days, I’m also exploring new projects in the animal wellness space — learning from every wag, every sniff, and every moment of quiet companionship. If you’re looking for someone mature, reliable, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well-being, let’s schedule a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know your pup — and be part of their happy routine. I live just steps from Central Park and walk daily rain or shine — now with room in my schedule to bring a few lucky pups along. I’m generally available on weekdays (especially mornings and early afternoons while my child is at school) and weekends. Each walk is more than just exercise — it’s a calm, enriching break tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I walk dogs one-on-one or in small, compatible groups to ensure safety and reduce stress. I use secure, double-clip leashes and always pay attention to your dog’s body language, energy level, and preferred pace. My calm, confident presence helps dogs feel relaxed — whether they’re active explorers or shy observers. For cat households, I offer gentle, respectful care during drop-in visits upon request. I understand that cats thrive on routine and quiet space. Whether they prefer playtime or peaceful observation from afar, I go at their pace — never forcing interaction, always making them feel safe. You’ll always receive photo updates and thoughtful notes after each visit, because I care for your pets as if they were my own.

About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my home as a child and other pets such as cats, birds, chicken, cows. I am very patient with pets and familiar with clicker training.

I can care for pets only at clients home as my current place does not allow pets to stay overnight. Comfortable with home care/pet sitting (dog, cat, bird, fish etc.).

Davi C.
“I’ve seen my sister care for animals since we were little — we grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, fish, and even a parrot that literally flew to her one day and never left. She’s always had a calm, warm energy that animals gravitate toward. She’s helped our relatives look after their dogs, and she never misses a chance to greet or play with pups at the park. I’m not surprised she’s doing this — it’s really what she loves.”
