Dog Walking Upper East Side

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life and have primarily cared for cats. I also have experience volunteering at a dog shelter and looking after pets for neighbors and family members, including dogs, cats, fish, and guinea pigs. I recently moved to the city and currently work as a preschool teacher. I’m a huge animal lover and truly miss having pets around, so I love any opportunity to care for them. The summer I have lots of flexibility! I am a teacher so starting in September my availability will be Monday thru Fridays in the late afternoons. I am also available on the weekends anytime! In my clients home, I always check on the fur baby first and give them a little bit of love. I will always change water and feed them. Maybe give a little treat! Depending on the care plan provided I'm happy to take them for a walk, give them a bath, brush them, etc.

“Wendy has so much patience with my silly boy- especially when he darts around the apartment and makes it hard to put his harness on lol. She is also so careful to wash his little paws after and I am so grateful for her!!”

About: I’ve had dogs (golden retrievers specifically) for as long as I can remember. With my puppies in California, I’m looking to combine my UES walks with well-needed dog time! I’m looking to walk dogs after work, during my work from home days, and on the weekends. Whatever works best for you and your schedule! I am experienced with dogs of all types, so I am more than capable to walk your dogs and personalize to any specific requests needed!

“I needed a walker urgently and Mariana came through. Casey loves her walks with Mariana, so much so she waits by the door waiting for her. Working with Mariana has been smooth and effortless. Always reliable and wonderful. I don’t worry when she’s with Casey. She shares pictures, feeds Casey and even shares anything new she notices that day. Mariana is a godsend! I recommend her without reservation!”

“We booked Alexandra to walk our dog while we were out of town for the weekend and she was great. She made sure to notify us about everything. Even when she had troubles with her phone she she made it a priory to tell us and still was quick to respond to any message. If you get her your pup will be in good hands!”

“Anne F is fantastic! My pup adores her - she takes great photos and I come home to a happy, calm Melville. I’m a crazy dog Mom and Anne exceeds all expectations! 😊”

“Caitlin takes such great care of my boy. And she always keeps me so informed on any need to know things - like if he shreds paper or splashes his water bowl. She always schedules time for a play session which Arlo absolutely loves. Thank you Caitlin!”

Sydney P.

“Isai has been lovely with my pup! He’s prompt, responsive, reliable and she’s utterly, joyfully exhausted after walks with him. He sends great photos and updates so I don’t feel like I’m missing out during my long work days. Will be requesting his help in the future!”

Marya H.

“Wei walks our pup on a weekly basis. She’s reliable, attentive, caring, and she provides quick updates on each walk including photos so you’re aware of where they went and what they did with each walk. She also flags any concerns or additional notes that may be helpful to know, as needed. Her experience with having her own dog is a huge plus for us as she knows the ins and outs of caring for a dog.”

Bridgett K.

“Carlos was incredible punctual, responsible and self-reliant! He was able to seamlessly access my apartment on his own and take out my pup on her long walk! Nala’s seems to have really enjoyed her walk with Carlos! I’m looking forward to booking another with with him again soon!”

Alan C.

“Super responsive and helpful with Arthur!”

Brian D.

“We love Vivian! She’s friendly, responsible, thoughtful, respectful, flexible and dependable. Most importantly, she’s so loving and caring with our furbaby, Rosie. We trust her to come into our home to pick up Rosie when we’re not home, she takes lots of fun pictures from her walk and we get a full report of how Rosie did on her walk. We don’t know what we’d do without Vivian!”

About: Hi My name is Joseph or KJ to my friends! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a horse farm with dogs and cats which taught me how to understand different pets personalities, needs, and routines. Whether it's feeding, bathing, grooming, exercising, or simply giving them attention and affection, I take pride in making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well cared for. My experience has given me both the skills and compassion needed to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I work freelance as a photographer, meaning I make my own schedule. I have the freedom to fit pet-sitting in at any given moment! My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions. I take the time to learn each animal's personality and boundaries so they can feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the home and the pets with respect, keeping the space clean and providing regular updates and photos. Safety is my top priority, so I pay close attention during walks, outdoor time, and interactions with other people or animals. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets can receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Please note: When it comes to cats, I always treat cats as STRICTLY indoor cats. If your cat is an outdoor cat, I will not be letting them out during my stay.

“Alex is great! She's very trust worthy, reliable and flexible, and is a great at communicating. Highly recommend her to take care of your animals!”
