Dog Walking In Upper East Side Manhattan, NY

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I grew up in a home full of animals, including a loyal family dog who was truly part of the family. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels from playful puppies to calm older companions. I believe dogs are often more loyal, honest, and emotionally tuned in than people that’s why I love being around them. I’m active, patient, and reliable, and I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I recently moved to New York, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m spending time settling in, exploring the city, and making my new home feel cozy - and having a pup by my side would only make that experience better! I usually have a lot of free time during the week and can easily adjust my day around your dog’s needs, whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On weekends, I often take short trips outside the city to spend time in nature - and when I stay in town, I’m happy to spend that time caring for your furry friend. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment in my 1 bedroom apartment in UES, where animals feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs - whether they’re playful and active or prefer quiet time and cuddles.I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, mental stimulation, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I live in a secure, high rise apartment with plenty of natural light and space for pets to lounge, explore, and feel at home. I never leave pets unattended for long and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own

“Sylvia and Scott are wonderful! I know my little man is happy and well taken care of when they walk him. They're on time and always send me great pics of my pup from their walks.”

“My husband and I have had the absolute best experience working with Alyssa over the last year and a half. We are moving out of the city soon, or else we’d have her watch and walk our dog as long as possible!! Alyssa was incredibly caring with our pup Marvin, who has always been very anxious. He adored Alyssa soon after walks started, which was a huge relief as we both returned to office. For anyone who is in need of a wonderful, trustworthy, and thoughtful dog walker / watcher, Alyssa should be your first choice. THANK YOU, Alyssa! ❤️”

“Lane showed up for a very late notice walk and was great with timing and responsiveness, and had been a reliable and trustworthy walker for my (very old) dog Peanut. Peanut loves the walks, comes back tired out from a good walk and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Sebastian was wonderful to work with as a dog walker! He was punctual, professional, and genuinely cared for my dog. My dog always seemed happy and well-exercised after his walks. I highly recommend Sebastian for anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful care for their dog!”

“Responded in my desperate last minute need and was an absolute angel with my 3 year old 65 pound pittie mix, taking Reba for a long walk in Central Park. Lots of pictures and great flexibility in accommodating my shifting schedule. Thanks so much, Angelica!”

“Alice is awesome! She is very accommodating and absolutely takes care of my 1-year-old corgi well. She always makes it a point to inform me of anything that might be concerning for my dog which really shows that she is an awesome dog walker!”

“He was amazing. Took great care of her. Always sent photos and took my pup on nice walks! I’d for sure recommend and will definitely be using him again!”

Seth M.

“Our dog Neddie absolutely LOVES Taylor! Despite his crazy puppy energy she is very patient with him making sure he’s behaving well enough for a great walk. Will definitely book again!”

About: I am passionate about cats and dogs, young and old, with experience with a wide age range from kittens to elderly animals. I am passionate about elderly cats specifically because I took care of my elderly cat for her last few years, giving her twice-daily meds and tending to her needs. I also have walked a number of small dogs and love dogs too! I am looking to cat and dog sit mostly on the weekend as a way to have fun and care for animals! Sometimes I receive requests that conflict with my work schedule, in which case I will let you know ASAP and BEFORE confirming the booking. I keep all bookings in my personal calendar and I try to be as punctual as possible, especially for animals on a strict eating or medication schedule! For re-occurring drop-ins, especially if your animal is shy, I recommend that we meet in person beforehand. This allows the pet to know that I am a friend, and I can get to know them (and you), plus pick up the keys and get all the info necessary! These meetups are free and I'm happy to do them so your pet gets the best care! During these visits, please let me know your pet's likes and dislikes, and any rules you have about your home.

“Dahilil is wonderful!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Ian, who has truly been transformative in supporting my and my pup’s routine. I am EXTREMELY selective about who I let care for and walk my dog - right now, Ian’s on (I should say, the *top* of) an extremely short list. I have no stress or concern, as I know that Ian prioritizes safety above all, and his training/behavior knowledge is a huge added bonus in putting me at ease. And of course, I always know that Phoebe will have a great time, as Ian takes care to ensure Phoebe has the opportunity to explore and play (even getting creative as needed when the weather doesn’t cooperate). Our routine really has taken a 180 turn for the better since connecting with Ian for Phoebe’s walks.”

About: Hi! My name is Caroline and I can't wait to meet, explore, care for, cuddle, and play with your companion! I am a native New Yorker with a lot of street smarts. I can assure you that I am consistent, reliable, attentive and super caring, with 10+ years of experience in dog walking, caretaking, training, and owning of my own pup who sadly is no longer with us. I would be pleased to be entrusted with your companion either for a walk, a short visit, or a longer term stay :) Particularly strong and can get along well with a more demanding pup I have a lot of free time and flexibility these days making me especially nice to book for last minute occasions! It would be a pleasure to care for, walk with, nurture and attend to all that comes with caring for your companion. My home is a safe, nurturing, calm environment. It is quiet and on the 5th floor of a walk up building. It is very comfortable for a dog to cozy up in and I enjoy sharing my common spaces and living spaces with dogs!

“Eleanor was great with my dog Lilly. She helped out when my mom was watching her but couldn’t take her on long walks so Eleanor was able to help out during the day. Eleanor was patient with Lilly (who is a marker), and she had a great time on her walks. We will definitely ask Eleanor to help out again!”

“Stacey was fantastic, my dog had a wonderful time on his walk and her communication and pictures were really helpful ways to let me know that Brady was being taken care of so well”

Connor M.

“Sophia was wonderful with my dog! She can be a bit anxious, but Sophia was incredibly patient and gentle, which I truly appreciate. With the heat, she was also mindful not to push my dog during bathroom breaks. She kept me well-informed throughout, and I’m looking forward to booking with her again soon!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver based right here on the Upper East Side. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own whether it’s a quick afternoon walk, a full day of play, or an overnight stay. Living in Manhattan means busy schedules, and I’m here to make your life easier while keeping your pet happy, healthy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I live on the Upper East Side, so I’m always walking through Central Park and the neighborhood making it easy to fit in walks, drop-ins, and overnights. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so your pet feels comfortable and secure. That means sticking to their feeding schedule, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of exercise and playtime, and making sure they get all the love and attention they’re used to from you.

“Ana is great and trustworthy! She helped me with my dog who just had surgery for a last minute walk. She’s friendly, dependable - highly recommend! 😊”

“Katie was an excellent walker for our dog, Lenny. She was extremely patient and flexible while waiting for Lenny to warm up to her. She provided updates and pictures throughout her time with Lenny.”

Jordan S.

“Nicole has been great with my dog :) he doesn’t like people coming into the house but she has been so patient with him and every day she sends pictures and he looks more and more comfortable. Definitely recommend her if you have a more challenging dog!”
