“Wei Han came to my rescue my first day living in the UWS when I needed a last minute walker. She took my son on a long walk and took lots of photos. She even wiped his paws for me and used my lock box easily. So great working with her!”

“Erica is so wonderful! She was able to help last minute and took great care of my dog while I was away! My dog obviously loved spending time with her, and I would highly recommend Erica for your furry friend!”

“Had an initial walk together today with Euitae and his dog Winston, super friendly and they were both very good with my dog Neptune. Looking forward to more bookings with Euitae in the future!”

“Juan is fantastic with my pup, Wally. Wally, a mini dachshund, can be bark-y and slow to warm up to people. Juan has been incredibly patient with him and understands his quirks. He’s also very communicative — always giving updates and letting me know how the walks go, which puts my mind at ease.”


“Jonathan was great with Charlie. Charlie responded to him quite well. Jonathan walked him 30 times in 10 days, was on time, friendly and very playful with my dog. I would use him again”

“Amanda is the best! Super patient with our shy Coco and great at communicating schedule updates and can be flexible with additional dates and timings!”

“Ryan did a great job looking after my dog Kira. He was timely with her walks, always ensured she had food and water, and if he ever had a question was not afraid to ask. She seemed in great spirits when I got home. Happy with his work.”

“I highly recommend Christina for all your dog care needs! She was fantastic with Sam and it’s clear he’s very much in love. She’s conscientious and took lots of notes when we first talked about Sam’s care.”

“Artem is very reliable! He has been our go-to sitter for awhile now and has always cared for our dog Theo who is currently undergoing heartworm treatment. Artem knows his needs and makes him feel comfortable at every visit, we highly recommend him as the local UES dog walker!”


“Emily was absolutely wonderful with our scared and skittish rescue puppy. She is kind, patient and has a great understanding of animals and their needs. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for and training both dogs and cats, so being around animals just feels natural to me. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I’ve cared for everything from high energy puppies to anxious dogs and sweet senior pets. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on pet care. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy going on regular walks, so I’m able to provide dogs with consistent exercise, attention, and outdoor time. I take pride in creating a safe, caring, and reliable experience for every pet I look after. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that matches each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day.

“Claire is so wonderful and takes such good care of my baby. She shares photos with me and keeps me updated about her walks. When Maggie wasn’t feeling well, Claire kept me updated about her tummy issues and was so kind about me being a super crazy mom. We will be booking again and again!! Maggie gets so excited when she sees Claire and it makes me leaving so much easier.”

“Josh is great! He is punctual, responsive and usually available. He does great with our dog who can be timid with new people, especially in our apartment. And he gives detailed information about their walks. Will definitely continue to book him in the future!”

“James is a very kind and gentle with our dog Betty who enjoys a quiet life! He’s super friendly snd relaxed and she was very happy to be off on a walk with him which is unusual in itself as she’s a Velcro dog! Highly recommend.”

About: .I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes having lived with and cared for dogs for 20 years. Additionally I have 2 years of experience living with and caring for cats. I do not currently have a pet at home, but I been privately pet-sitting for friends and family and would love to help care for your little one! I’m currently available on weekends, as I work a full time job during the week. I enjoy staying active, and do not currently have a pet in my home. So, I enjoy getting out and caring for others. As a long-time pet owner, your pets safety and comfort is my top priority, and I know that each pet has different needs. Please include any relevant information about your pets tendencies and comfort levels that I need to know before dropping in or taking them out for a walk!
“We love Alanna! She is so good with our Senior dog, Honey, and great to work with. Alanna is reliable, easy to communicate with her and extremely responsible. We feel very lucky to have her and appreciate the time and care she takes with Honey each day. I high recommend Alanna if you're looking for someone to walk or care for your animal!”

Sona’s enjoyed her walks in Manhattan with Jimmy & his team. We moved from Toronto to Manhattan and were looking for a dogwalker that can handle Sona that’s a bit leash reactive and new to the busy & overstimulating Manhattan environment after living a suburban life. Her transition has been made so much smoother with these structured walks that Sona gets! I can see her get better every day :) Would highly recommend them if you need a knowledgeable handler that can handle reactive doggos that need a lot of discipline and structure during their walks.

Kirstin walks my Weimaraner. Communication has been easy breasy. Responds right away to any correspondence. Seemingly effortless introduction to Atlas and taking him for his walks. Needed to adjust my time at the last minute to walk Atlas earlier and she came to the rescue. Happy to have connected with Kirstin. Definitely recommend!

Franco is awesome to work with. He clicked with my pup from the first time they met, and she probably looks forward to seeing him more than me! He brings her on thorough walks, plays with her, and sends pictures and notes about their walks. I can’t recommend him enough!
