“Hennessy was great! Fast to respond and really cared about our dog and giving her good walks as well as attention, food, and water at home when my wife and I couldn’t be there.

Very impressed by her.”

About: I am a therapist and actor in the New York City area and I enjoy walking dogs in my free time. I find that the skills I have cultivated in my other work, such as listening, reading body language, and setting clear boundaries, have come in handy when caring for and growing relationships with the dogs. I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to take your pup for a walk in the afternoons. Generally speaking, I am free after 4 pm on Tuesdays through Fridays. Additionally, I have flexibility on Mondays. I always want to respect the rules and boundaries that you, as the owner, have laid out for your pet. My role is to support you in maintaining a happy and healthy environment for your pup while also building trust so that you don't have to worry about your little buddy when you're away.
“Thank u so much for walking my puppy since my walker had to cancel last minute. You were so wonderful with being flexible and also waiting until someone got home so u can walk Jesse.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Absolutely recommend Tosha to care for your fur babies. She is so kind and calm with my overly excited pup and always takes the greatest care of her”
“Barkley loved his walks, Would recommend! Thank you!!”
“AMAZING.... As a parent of a fluffy child I am very nervous who we leave Killa, our tea cup Yorkie with. Kimberly was on point in every aspect. She came over before staying in our home a week while we were on vacation to understand what we expected. She took her job seriously. Killa bonded with Kimberly, that means a lot. While we were away she took pictures and was always in communication. Our home was in great shape upon our return. Kimberly will be our sitter as long as she wants. Thank you!!!”
“Elines has been wonderful! She is super thoughtful, very responsive, and has taken such expert care of our anxious pup. It is clear she is extremely knowledgeable and skilled for how to care for animals with a range of needs. Highly recommend Elines to anyone who is looking for a walker or sitter!”
“Symba is the kindest and our senior girls love him. He’s very gentle with them and always greets them (and says good bye) with so much affection. Hes also very helpful with keeping up with their training and giving them treats after saying commands.”
“Thank you, Jordan for taking such great care of Diamond on a hot summer day.”
About: I had two dogs growing up and have been a proud dog auntie to many friends, caring for their dogs while they vacation. From puppy to senior care I enjoy their company! I’m currently in between jobs so I have a very flexible schedule during the day for walking or sitting! I’m available for overnights as well and I can provide a safe and comfy home away from home. I have a good sized apartment for plenty of running and playing. I also live between two parks so ample space for walks and fresh air.
“Sarah goes above and beyond for our energetic dog. She is so thoughtful and warm, excellent with communication, and always keeps us updated on everything while we are away. We cannot wait to have Sarah care for our dog again!!”
“We have been working with Emmanuel for almost 2 years on both regular walks Monday through Friday, emergency walks, and drop-in walks (3xs/day) when out of town. We have a 12-year old Pittie who absolutely adores him, and we trust him with her care. She is dog-reactive, has a heart condition (and now lymphoma), and required meds when we’re away. Emmanuel treated her with so much care and love and almost daily walked her MUCH longer than the 30 minutes we requested. He’s professional and friendly and is just an all around good person. If it weren’t for her costs of her cancer treatment, we’d still be using him. Highly recommend Emmanuel!”
“So great with my very difficult, anxious dog. He was patient , enthusiastic and extremely attentive to her. She even started to cry when he would leave! Would highly recommend booking him :).”
“Fallon was amazing! I needed last minute walks bc my dog Walker canceled. She came and was excellent in helping me to feed and take him out for a morning and afternoon walk. Highly Rex recommend!”

Lisa G.
“I have two dogs (Yorkie & Half/Lab Half Pitt) ages 14 & 10. They are everything to me. Lisa is so caring and playful with them. During a trip I had I needed someone to watch my pups and help with Chloe’s anxiety medication. Not only did she calm my nerves since I was traveling away without my pups she sent me many videos and pictures of my dogs and assured me that Chloe was doing well. She didn’t even get anxiety during her stay which is rare for Chloe! Callie didn’t want to leave! They love taking long walks with her especially when she takes them to the doggie park by my home. Any person with a loving pet will find comfort in Lisa taking good care of him/her.”

Neil Took amazing care of Roxie once again! No complaints! Please consider Neil if you want your pet to receive the best care 🥹
Patrick was absolutely amazing with my pup. He shared awesome updates (my favorite to see at work) and took him on long walks to enjoy the sunshine / water. Patrick was also incredibly accommodating with coming at a later time in the day when there was a last minute hiccup with getting into my apartment. Highly recommend Patrick as a trustworthy and dog loving walker!
