Jennifer was on time for my dog’s walk and was great with her. She fed her and gave her medication without any issue. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.

About: I’ve been a dog walker for 2+ years, I have experience working at a dog daycare, dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, and drop in feeding for both. I am patient, reliable and punctual. I pay attention, take animals safety seriously and will take very good care of your pets. Rain or shine, snow or summer heat won’t stop me from showing up 😁 I am willing to do meet and greets! I’ve mainly worked in Manhattan (preferably I choose to work all around Manhattan) , I can come to Brooklyn or Queens to dog/cat sit and commute is no problem for me. I am available weekdays and weekends, I have lots of free time and I would like to use that to work as much as I can. I understand that each cat/dog has their own needs and some require special attention and/or care, such as diaper changes for disabled dogs or pets that take certain medications, I am experienced with these and I can do it. I can and will do whatever the pet needs, I’ll be present and take care of them.

About: The dog animal kingdom loves my gentle spirit. From the moment I have adopted and rescue from the Animal Care Center in the East Side of Manhattan and for 3 years taken well enough attentive care of Uni have results of having positive encounters with any meet puppies of dogs. My close circle friends and other pet owners recognize that the dogs smell my dog scent within my clothes and skin. I truthfully believe so because they so friendly wants to interact with me. I am mostly available to dog walk services throughout the weekdays and even so possibly on the weekends from late afternoon to evening hour timings I like to make sure my space is cozy, fairly clear enough, and safe for the dogs to stay and be able to move around while I baby sit them. I make sure the pets has or brought its adequate meals food and enough clean water, it’s playing toys or garments that keeps them comfortably cozy and at ease, it’s managed medications if necessary needed to be consume, make it has its playtime or nap time hours moment if is needed. Lastly, I love positively having conversations times to time with the dog and its owner to have a good rapport report status.

About: I am a dedicated pet care provider that is comfortable with any animal shape or size. I am very passionate about my job and making sure the pet Im taking care of has all of its needs, and ofcourse some slight spoilage! I started out in dog daycares and moved on to do all kinds of animal care work. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young at 2 months old! I am educating myself to become a dog trainer and can help provide tips when it comes to building human-canine relationships. I can also do specials needs such as insulin shots. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Animal Handler in New York State, so I can further my education in animal care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby! I currently work part time once a week at a Grooming academy. So i will have plenty of time during the week to spend time with your pet! I also live with animals so I am constantly spending my time walking feeding and caring for them. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. Morning, mid day, evening, and late night relief. Also depending on the weather a trip to the dog park. I live in a spacious apartment with 3 cats and two dogs. I have done my best to provide a sanctuary here for my animals and any visitsors who comes across us. I have one room dedicated to the animal with cat trees and soft spaces. Water fountains (for dogs and cats) and beds for lounging. I have gates for separation during feeding times and a nice big couch everyone is welcome to lounge on!

Kate was wonderful with Brinkley! He is a very shy boy and she did an excellent job at getting him to interact with her. While he was reluctant to leave (as always), it was an easier exit than we've seen with any other walker so far. She asked great questions and is a great communicator and Brinkley came back happy and tired -- booking a recurring weekly session right now!
