Wei Han was very responsible and efficient. She was almost always on time and took good care of my dog, taking her for walks in the park and reporting back. She is a gentle soul.

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!

Juan has been an amazing dog walker, and my corgi absolutely loves him. He is reliable, trustworthy, and always accommodating when scheduling changes come up. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, and I always feel confident knowing my pup is in good hands. Juan is friendly, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.

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.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind from a young age. I have a Goldendoodle of my own who loves long walks around the city! I work hybrid with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide walks, meals, playtime, and attention. I also like to learn about pets’ habits beforehand. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, preferences, or routines I should be aware of before sitting or walking your pet. I prioritize safety and comfort while following your instructions carefully, so your pet feels happy and secure.

About: I worked for a year during high school at a veterinary office and shadowed vets and vet techs, so I’m very comfortable with all pets and any issues they might have! I also grew up around 3 dogs and 2 cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve spent years pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family, and absolutely love it. I especially enjoy dog walking and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need! I’m reliable and attentive, and I can handle walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine and energy level, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m an NYU Stern MBA student graduating this spring with a flexible schedule now and even more availability over the summer. I’m available weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s routine, and I aim to keep everything as consistent and low-stress as possible while you’re away. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, behavior, and energy levels, and I’ll keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. I also love sending photo updates!

About: Hi! I am a premed neurology researcher on the Upper West Side looking to support my application fees. I currently have a medium-sized dog named Alfie who I take on long walks everyday in Central Park (only 2 blocks from my apartment). I grew up with pomeranians and fostering large and small dogs so I am familiar with different temperaments and sizes. I am currently waiting to start my new position so I am available to care for your furry family member at your convenience. Once I begin my role, I only work three days a week so I can still walk your dog then as well. I have a 40-lb Keeshond who is very friendly and loves to play. If you are looking for boarding, my dog will be in the apartment as well but I can make sure they get acclimated.
