Dog Walking Uptown

“Dylan had been awesome with Ellie. He’s very patient and loving to her. Plus he’s been super flexible with our schedule. We are glad we found him and definitely recommend to anyone!”

“Artemis is great! Always gives my dog extra time and love; goes above and beyond to make sure that she is cared for and comfortable! I am so appreciative!!”

Jennifer V.

“Kiefer saved the day! Last minute late at night I requested a dog walker for the next day and he accepted. He was responsive, flexible, and listened to my requests. I greatly appreciated the photos and kind comment after the walk. Walking my 3 boys could be a handful and Kiefer ensured the boys enjoyed their walk! I’ve found my new walker! :)”

“Cierra was fantastic with my dog Dottie this week. My request was somewhat last minute so I really appreciate her fitting us in to her schedule. She sent great photos and Dottie looked so happy to have made a new friend. I look forward to having her take care of her again in the future and having someone else I can trust with my girl.”

“perfect communicative and great photos”

“Mariah did everything right when it came to my extremely fearful dog Pepper. She came for a meet and greet before the walk to learn a little bit about her/how to handle her and I really appreciated it. I got updates throughout, and a great report after. Wil definitely book Mariah for future walks!”

About: I’m based in Brooklyn and I’ve had cats and dogs in my life since I was about five years old, many of them from the time they were kittens and puppies. I’ve watched pets for family and friends for years, and I’ve taken care of school/classroom pets for extended periods of time. Caring for animals has always felt natural to me. I’m a calm, soft-spoken person, and animals tend to respond well to that energy. I pay attention to their body language, their routines, and the little things that help them feel safe. I also believe good pet care starts with understanding the pet parent. I take time to get to know you, your routines, your expectations, your concerns so I can truly be of service and support your pet the way you would. Trust matters to me, and I don’t take it lightly. When your pet is with me, they’re cared for with patience, consistency, and real presence. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day. Because I’m home-based, I’m able to maintain consistent feeding times, potty breaks, and check-ins, and I’m not rushing in and out. I plan my schedule intentionally so the pets in my care receive steady attention and aren’t left alone for long stretches. Safety and trust mean a lot to me, especially because I’ve been a pet owner myself for most of my life. I know how important routines are, and I follow routines in my own life, so I respect and stick to the ones you’ve created for your pet. If I’m in your home, I’m mindful and respectful of your space. And I stay present on walks, especially here in Brooklyn where things can get busy. I don’t rush, and I don’t multitask when I’m responsible for your pet. As a pet owner, I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your animal with someone so I take that seriously. I communicate clearly and send frequent updates so you feel at ease, not just informed.

“Patrick did a great job walking Killer for 2 afternoons. He stepped up at the last minute to help us out of an unexpected jam, and we really appreciate it. Patrick is pleasant, funny and easy going. Killer felt comfortable immediately upon meeting. We will ask Patrick for help next time we meed a walker.”

“Ryan was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very detailed on how his and Luna's walks went. He was very attentive to her and made sure she had plenty of play time and pets. I will definitely be booking walks with him in the future”

Tia G.

“Ethan goes above and beyond for our pup. He even took him to an emergency vet appointment when we weren’t able to. I can’t recommend him enough!”

Jessica L.

“Gaby is amazing! She provides great details after each walk along with photos and she is wonderful with my dogs who are reactive on the leash. Gaby, thank you for taking such great care of my babies.”

Heather A.

“We love Madeline! She’s incredibly reliable, responsive and kind. I love the updates and photos she shares with me and can tell my dog loves her. Thanks for taking such good care of my little guy on all his walks!”

Kirsten D.

“she did amazing and took great care of blue! great communication and took a lot of photos! i would definitely have her take care of him again”

Carolyn W.

“Rich always takes great care of our pups. He’s patient and kind with them. And is very respectful of our home. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker than Rich.”

Pamela N.

“Whitney was absolutely amazing! She was flexible to my changing schedules and she is always available to help out with your fur baby. My dog Fiona enjoyed her walks with Whitney and I got wonderful report cards with pictures of their walk. From Fiona’s reaction to see Whitney, I could tell that she has a very loving heart towards your pet. Whitney is extremely reliable and a wonderful person. I highly recommend her. Thanks Whitney from Fiona and me! ?”

About: I was raised on a farm in Bloomington, Indiana where our family would own or foster upwards of 6 dogs at any given time, of all sizes and breeds. I am familiar with rescues requiring extra patience and understanding, service dogs, large dogs, and breeds that have unique instincts + needs, such as herding dogs. I have also been a cat owner for over two decades (no cats in my apartment currently) and work especially well with cats with attitude, or who are known to be finicky in temperament. I can adapt to whatever special needs your animal might have and ensure they have the best care possible. My schedule is free at the moment (with a few exceptions), so feel free to reach out to see if a day / time works. I may be limited in long distance dog walking and high intensity play between June 3rd to June 15th, but standard walks and light play or visits to dog parks are fine. I have a spacious apartment with lots of room for animals to roam or lounge. There is a back deck and narrow fenced in area behind the building for lounging. The area I am in (Andersonville) is very dog friendly and walkable. I would suggest bringing blankets, beds, toys, etc as I don't have these items in my space at the moment. I am home all day / night for caretaking and happy to spend as much time with them as they need. If your pet requires special attention, just let me know and I will ensure they receive it. I also provide pictures and regular updates!

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and a lifelong dog lover! My very first dog was a shihtzu who lived until she was 17. I have as much experience with the running around and keeping up with a pup as I do slowing down and meeting their needs. As my sweet girl crossed the rainbow bridge, I learned a lot about how to accommodate senior dogs and how to navigate their care. My family adopted a Burmese mountain doodle as well, so i’ve definitely got some experience on BOTH sides of the size spectrum. 😂 I’m familiar with the finicky nature of yorkies, the bold yet gentle nature of goldens, and the sassiness of corgis. I know every dog has their quirks, and discovering and working with them is one of the joys of being alive. Since my family raised all of our dogs from puppies, im very comfortable looking after younger dogs. I am very active so I can help get your pups energy out! We can run and fetch and make sure you have a peaceful home when you get off from work! I can also trot along with our older dogs and make sure they’re getting their medication, etc. I can also cook their food as i’m experienced with homemade food for pets. Care is one of my biggest traits so being able to extend that to your four legged loved ones would come next to nothing for me. There are very many paw prints on my heart and I hope maybe your dog can leave one too :) ps- you’ll always get super cute candid pictures of your dog from me too! and maybe even a doodle :D I have open availability. My schedule can revolve around what’s necessary. I’m an artist so since I make my own schedule, there are no interruptions. I live in a very dog friendly apartment building. We have a dog wash area downstairs- pet friendly. There are a handful of big open fields near my building and plenty of walking paths! I have routes picked out for dogs who need super long walks to get all that energy out; and shorter routes for our older friends who need to just go potty and right back inside. I am 8 minutes from Puptown dog park, so friendly dogs get to have a great time here. Cuddly quiet dogs who have attachment issues as well as avoidant buddies have plenty of space in the apartment to cozy up or- hold their own space! I have open availability constantly so your pup is never left unattended for long. Your dog will have their own space and be the center of my attention while we’re together.

“Walks with Koemi were the highlight of Rosie’s week! She was always excited to go and calm and happy after. She helped us get back on track with walk reactivity because she’s way more disciplined at training than we are day to day but it was the extra push we needed to get back on track! Thank you for everything!! (Definitely reach out especially if you have a pittie!)”

“Madison was great with Collin who can be very picky about who he sees and what he does. She was very understanding and patient! Definitely recommend.”

Shannon D.

“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”
