Tiffany was really great with my dog Mela, who gets pretty anxious on walks and with new people. She took her time and was really gentle with her, and it made me feel a lot better about leaving Mela in her care. I really appreciated it and would definitely book with her again.

Binta was amazing with my dog Venus even going as far as being able to help Venus with her boots. We communicated the whole time before her walks which made me feel at ease. I will definitely contact her for future walks and whoever is reading this should to.

Jonathan was the perfect communicator and buddy to Rocko during the week. He always got right back to me, took tons of pictures of their walk around the neighborhood, and even put the doggie jackets on so he wouldn't get cold 🥹 Would absolutely book again!!

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was five years old, so caring for animals has always been a natural and important part of my life. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or older and needs a gentler pace, I will provide dependable care, affection, exercise, and plenty of attention. I will also follow your instructions carefully and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently not working, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks during weekdays and weekends. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can also provide a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, which is located in the same building. This allows me to give your pet personalized care in an environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I care for every pet according to their normal routine, personality, and specific needs. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and affection. For pets that are not comfortable around other dogs or cats, I can offer a quiet, separate space in my mother’s apartment, located in the same building. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions while respecting their home and keeping everything clean and organized. I also send regular photos and updates so pet parents can feel relaxed knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Hello my name is Jose but I rather be called JC. I’ve been a dog walker for 5 years now. I have two dogs so I know how to deal with more than one dog while walking around. I usually walk around my dogs around riverside or central park cause it open and has a lot of fresh air. I’m not used to house sitting but I'm willing to but a week in advance. I'm also not used to taking care of cats but if needed I will take care of only hypoallergenic cats. (just in case I'm allergic) I love animals of all shape and sizes and I'm looking forward to anyone that is looking for my services. 3 word to best describe me will be responsible, reliable, and punctual.

Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.

Nicole is terrific! She walked my pup Sadie twice a day for several days and did a great job. She was in close contact about how Sadie was doing and sent photos. Other than one afternoon when she needed to cancel, Nicole arrived promptly and walked Sadie for a full hour each time as scheduled. Sadie absolutely loved her!

About: Hi! I’m Kris — a lifelong animal lover, experienced caregiver, and proud pet parent myself. After years working professionally as a nanny and preschool teacher, I understand how important trust, patience, and reliability are when caring for someone you love. I share my home with my rescue cat, Cosmo, who found me as a sick stray and quickly became the tiny king of the household. I have also been a shelter volunteer for many years, so I'm good with rescues and seniors. I’d love to help local families with dependable walks, check-ins, and companionship for their pets. Whether your pet loves a long stroll, a little extra playtime, or just a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. I believe every pet has their own personality (and usually very strong opinions!), and I love getting to know what makes each one special. I work at a restaurant in the evenings, but I'm looking forward to dedicating my mornings/ early afternoons to caring for YOUR fur baby! I'm also available weekends and most holidays. When caring for pets, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'm detail-oriented and will always follow an owner's care instructions carefully. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone into your home. My years working as a nanny and preschool teacher taught me the importance of reliability, clear communication, and caring for someone’s family member exactly the way their family would want. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so you know your pet is happy and cared for while you’re away!

About: I have been taking care of other people’s dogs since I was 16 giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. I am reliable, attentive, and always make sure that pets are safe. I have a part-time job, but I’m available Monday-Friday after 2pm. During that time, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m dependable, flexible, and dedicated to making sure every pet gets the care and companionship they need. I follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away.

Jamie was amazing! He was easygoing, communicated clearly from the very beginning, and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving Mr. Lucky in his care. He kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, and seeing how happy and relaxed Mr. Lucky looked gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely trust Jamie with Mr. Lucky again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
