“Danny is very nice, caring, and professional. He took care of my dog very well. My dog was tired and happy from his walk. I recommend Danny and will use his services again!”

About: I have had experience with dogs of all breeds since I was 16 years old when I worked as a kennel tech! I was also a volunteer at the Human Society and mostly worked in the cat room - spending time and cuddles and cleaning their living area. I know that the care of your pet is the most important thing to feel secure about when going on vacation or out of town. In addition to years of care sitting for both cats and dogs, I volunteered in South Africa and cared for baby baboons! I know your pet is unique and I will follow all instructions given to ensure your peace of mind, your pet’s safety, and will send pictures daily! I currently work remotely and am able to create my own hours, so I am flexible and available at all times to keep your pet’s schedule on track! I care and respect your home just as much as I love animals. If I am in your home, I will follow all instructions as given and am happy to send as many pictures as you request during my stay.
About: I’ve had dogs in my home for 14 years and cats my whole life. I’ve had dogs of small and large sizes and can handle a dog of any personality I am currently a full time college student looking to get more involved in my community. I have a pretty free schedule for drop ins or walks I do not offer in home service at this time. I can provide walks and drop ins only! sorry if this is inconvenient, thank you.
“Lorenzo did an amazing job walking our baby! Latte doesn’t need much: just a little walk to pee and poop and then he’s ready to head back in. He did just that and it was a great help as I work a hybrid schedule so I’m unable to walk Latte when I’m in office. Having someone come over while we’re out of the house and tend to our baby’s schedule is just something we need, especially with such a trustworthy dog handler! Latte was very amicable with Lorenzo, so this is definitely a great start to something new.”

“Cindy took my pup Bella on a walk. Bella came back happy, tired out, and satisfied. Cindy was very sweet with Bella and really caring and friendly. Plus, she sent lots of cute walk pics. Will definitely book again. Thank you!”

“Ron is the best! He is reliable, respectful and trustworthy. We know our dog is in good hands with him every time he comes to walk her. Would recommend Ron without hesitation.”

“Emmily was great with my senior German Shepherd dog who is pretty much losing his sight. She is a great communicator and took really nice pictures. I definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life and take pride in making sure that any animal I encounter is well cared for.

The flexibility and being around animals is what appeals to me the most. I’m primarily interested in the downtown White Plains area. Will consider other neighborhoods.
