About: I LOVE all animals, which means I love YOUR pet!! I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, & cats for more than half of my life, and hopefully for the rest of it. I recently moved to New York with a furry friend of my own and I’m looking for some new best friends to spoil and exersize with! I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to spend keeping your furry friend happy, and tending to any of their special needs. The love I have for my dog is pretty close to the love a parent has for a child, and I will love your fur-baby the same. My weekly routine is centered around spending time with my fur baby. I have plenty of time for walks and parks, and I even make my own organic dog treats!! I’m very attentive to what each specific pet needs and wants to do! I’ve got plenty of time on my hands for playing, scratches, exercise, lounging and cuddles. I can administer medicine and special care if your pet has special needs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was raised with medium to large sized dogs. More broadly I spent 3 years helping friends with dog sitting duties when they were out of town. Especially experienced with younger dogs full of energy. I’m full time dedicated to the care of fur babies. I am able to take them on walks at any time of day- considering heat/temperatures or their individual needs I provide individual care for each client based on their individual needs. Some fur babies need more attention than others or have special needs that need to be considered on a daily or weekly etc basis.

About: I have taken care of dogs for 3 years now. I boarded them, took them for walks, and gave them whatever care they needed. Caring for dogs is one of my greatest passions. I work from home Monday through Friday and have a very flexible schedule. I am also Home on the weekends. My flexible schedule allows me to board pets and care for them pretty easily. I do not have my own pets, the only pets in my home are the ones I am taking care of. I also have a camera on my door for extra security.

“Niko loved his walks with Iwona. She is professional, attentive, reliable, trustworthy and we will definitely use her services in the future. Thank you for caring for our furry boy Iwona!”


About: I have several years of experience with dogs. I have pet-sat for family, friends and neighbors throughout this time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats. I currently am a hybrid worker, therefore I have time and flexibility to petsit. My day consists of making calls and writing notes. (Kinda boring) i know lol I have a friendly 2 year old morkie at home who can be crated if needed. I also have a spare 3rd room as well. But more than likely, everything will be great because my Morkie identifies with being a human, not a dog. I also have a fenced backyard. I live on a dead end block(not too much foot traffic) and I am a couple of blocks form the boardwalk where I anticipate having our walks.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 3 years old because my grandfather ran a puppy farm and I took care of dogs for about 15 years of my life. I’m friendly will all types of dogs and even if one caused trouble, I would welcome it with open arms. Overall I have a special connection with dogs and have taken care of almost every breed of dog and are considered part of my family. I was taught how to perform CPR from my grandfather in case of emergencies and although it doesn’t happen often, I have plenty experience dealing with a dog that’s not responding. Dogs feel safe around me when they’ve gotten enough time to accept me as family and even with aggressive one, I can pacify them and help them keep calm.

“We are repeat bookers of Abby and big fans. She’s the best!”



“Tariana has been excellent with my 2 dogs. She has patience with my German Shepherd because he is apprehensive meeting new people but she takes charge and is able to get them to warm up to her. I would recommend her walking services.”
