“Ariella calmed my anxiety whether she knows it or not! Took care of my nearly 7 month old pup, Alf with confidence and care. Very much look forward for Ariella and Alf to hang out again!”


“Tatiana was fantastic! We booked her for dog walking the day before we needed her, as it was very last-minute. Despite the short notice, she was incredibly accommodating and even came to meet our pup the same day we booked her. This thoughtful gesture made sure our Etta wasn’t surprised by a stranger when we weren’t home. Tatiana kept us updated when she arrived, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our girl was in good hands. Her care and attention to detail were truly outstanding—we highly recommend her!”

“Chuck is my dog’s absolute favorite walker in the city. She is always so excited to see him that she starts jumping up and down. He is very reliable, great communication, follows directions, flexible with scheduling, always on time. Highly recommend!”


About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for my neighbors of different varieties. I love big dogs and small dogs alike, even medium dogs. I know nurturing a bond with the dog is very hard but very rewarding and I’m willing to put in the work. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty time to go in and check in on your fur babies. I definitely can walk bathe play, and feed dogs while I visit! I currently own one dog in a fenced in yard, and I own one cat, he is my light and joy. I love him so much.
About: Animal lover and bestie since before I could walk! My house growing up felt like a zoo with 10 cats, 3 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and my older brother's snake. All those personalities shaped my love for every animal! I’m currently in school full-time at the Fashion Institute of Technology! When I’m not in classes, my schedule is pretty clear to fill up with all the fur babies! For clients, I follow their detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and any specific needs or routines. If they’re in my home, I have a separate room where I let the newcomer relax for a few hours before slowly introducing them to my friendliest animals first.
The Rockaways dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog liked Ariella right away, which honestly says everything. She has some joint problems, so walks can be a bit tricky, but Ariella found a gentle, thoughtful approach that worked perfectly for her. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was , it was clear she took the time to understand my dog’s needs and made sure she was comfortable every step of the way. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Ariella to anyone looking for someone kind, reliable, and truly great with dogs!
