“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle. She has been absolutely amazing with my dog. Super reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I always get detailed updates and the cutest pictures after every walk, which gives me so much peace of mind. My pup gets so excited every time they show up — that alone tells me everything I need to know!”

“Charlie was great with my foster puppy, Joey! He is very communicative and kept me informed about his arrival times for the two days I requested walks. My puppy got adopted, but I will be going back to Charlie when I get my next pup!”
“Sylvia is great. She is so patient and nice to walk Lily. She spent time meet and greet Lily before the walk schedule day. We love her. We highly recommend her to other people.”

“Laura had walked out two dogs several times and has been tremendous. We are very careful with who we allow to walk and care for our dogs and we can’t thank Laura enough!”
About: The first dog that I fell in love with was Charlie, my best friend’s beagle. I cared for him for weeks at a time, and that’s when I realized how much I enjoy looking after dogs. Since then, I’ve had the chance to care for several pets, both on and off the books, and each experience has made me love it even more. Although I’ve never owned a dog myself, I have a deep respect and appreciation for them. I understand the dedication, planning, and responsibility that goes into making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. As much as we wish we could bring our pets everywhere, sometimes the best choice is leaving them in a place where they feel at home. That’s the experience I aim to provide: reliable and thoughtful care that supports your pet’s comfort without requiring you to sacrifice your plans. I am currently unemployed and I live with my parents (who also love dogs), so there’s almost always someone home. I was working at Central Park for these last few months, but now that the season is over I can dedicate myself to working my dream job… along with finding a career that goes with my degree. I’ve cared for dogs both in my own home and in clients’ homes. Our quiet neighborhood has plenty of small parks and green spaces for quick walks or a good 30–35 minute wander. I also have a ground-floor apartment with a fenced backyard where dogs can roam, zoom, or take care of their business when a full walk isn’t ideal. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow whatever routine works best for their dog. I can stay overnight or visit in the mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and light grooming. My priority is keeping each dog comfortable by sticking to the routine they know.
“Hemei has been great with my dog Kiara! She walks her a 3-4 times a week and is very responsive, professional, and communicative. She is very flexible with her schedule which is amazing since my week to week work schedule sometime varies. Hemei made the extra trek for a meet and greet before starting so that I could rest assured that my dog would be comfortable with her. She is reliable and a true dog lover and you know she will look after your fur baby as her own. Highly recommend her!”


“Simply Amazing! Responsible with my home keys, he was careful with my senior dog and she just loved him. Followed all instructions for feedings and walks, plus he kept us updated every day. Highly recommended and will definitely hire again! =-)”

“It’s always such a pleasure to see and read what my little fur baby was up to while I was at work. Tedy is excellent at keeping me informed and keeping my Phoebe happy.”

About: I have taken care of my pets both back home and in the city for many years. My favorite part of taking care of dogs is having a buddy to walk around the city with. I love taking my time strolling through the park giving your dog lots of time to sniff. I also love giving your pet all the ear scratches they could want. I have experience giving oral medications to pets. I am very timely and responsible, especially when it comes to pets with special needs. I have a lot of love to give your pet and can’t wait to meet them! I am a current graduate student at Columbia so I have a flexible schedule during the day. I am generally available around midday on the weekdays. I also tend to have a flexible schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I love cuddles and playtime and think that every animal needs both. I always try to make sure your pet is getting all the love and spoiling they deserve. I like to approach pets I am meeting for the first time with a calm demeanor so they can get a sense of me and I can get a sense of them. But most importantly, I try to meet them where they’re at!
“Jessica has been caring for my dog Niko for several years. From the first meeting I was impressed with how she interacted with Niko and how quickly she put him at ease. He loves her and when I have to leave him knowing Jessica is there to care for him gives me incredible peace of mind! She is someone who really loves and understands animals and it shows in how happy and relaxed Niko is when I return home. You couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for your pet!”

“Janet is amazing with my dog Luke. He enjoys his time with her. She takes Luke on nice long walks which he can’t get enough of. He comes home super happy and ready for a nap. I highly recommend her”

“It’s was such a blessing to have Cynthia walk our furry baby Aria during our 17 day trip overseas. She showed to be responsible, reliable and very loving with Aria. She sent me daily pics and documented every walk. It was such a joy to hear daily from their walks. Aria adores her and will keep coming back for more and more walks in the near future. Thank you so much Cynthia! Aria adores and misses you!”

“We cannot say enough great things about Jake as a walker and a kind and thoughtful individual. Jake is a very responsible: always on time, follows directions and is very attentive to our growing puppy. Jake is proactive in communicating any potential issue that may need our attention and makes sound judgment calls in shortening walks should our puppy overheat due to hot and humid weather conditions. He is also very mindful to not let our puppy interact with strangers on their walks to prevent any potential issues. Jake is extremely respectful and truly cares about walking dogs.. We have used Jake for over 1 month 3x times a week and he has never let us down. He is highly recommended!!”

“We had a fantastic experience! Annye took wonderful care of our cat, Louis (9), and our dog, Hazel (7), with drop ins and walks over a week. Communication was excellent (we received consistent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind). Both pets were happy and bonded quickly, which says a lot. Also went above and beyond to handle a few issues that came up, and did so with flexibility and care. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”

Huixian is excellent..I needed a last-minute and she were absolutely amazing! Super responsive, reliable, and so caring with benji . They made the whole process stress-free and gave me complete peace of mind. Benji was happy and well cared for — I truly appreciate the flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend! 🐾💕”

We had a great experience with Julian watching Hazel, our Shih Tzu mix, and Louis, our Nebelung cat, for 10 days. He provided drop ins and walks and kept us updated throughout the trip with great communication and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. He was reliable and handled situations that came up during our time away, which gave us peace of mind. When we got home, both pets seemed happy, content, and very well cared for… Hazel even wanted to go with him when he returned our keys! Our home was also left pretty much exactly how we left it. We’re very thankful for the care he gave our pets and would absolutely book with him again.
Diana is wonderful. When we first met her, she took the time to meet our dog Cagney before starting to walk him, gaining his confidence (Cagney is a "Velcro" dog who spends a lot of time at home with my husband) and assessing our dog's needs as well as ours. She is patient, kind and professional. She is punctual, and communicates regularly with us if any changes need to be made. She is a big help to us since we can't always walk Cagney. Cagney looks forward to seeing her and she updates us on his progress during his walks as he becomes more accustomed to being with her. Five stars and much thanks to Diana!

I can’t say enough good things about vivian she is reliable, caring, and truly treat my dog like family. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such loving and responsible hands. Communication is great, and I get updates that make my day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!

Ellison is a wonderful dog walker. She arrived early every single time she came to pick up my dog, which I truly appreciated. She gave Daisy a nice, long walk, and I was very pleased with the results. While I was away, Daisy was extremely happy and well cared for. Ellison is sweet, kind, and very attentive to details—especially important since Daisy can be quite picky. Overall, she is an absolutely fantastic person, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly

She is a great dog walker/sitter! It was my first time to use this app and I and my dog Chopper were both nervous but I can tell she loves animals . During the walk she always tells me how he doing, did poo and pee and her efforts made me so comfortable and trusting her . Now my dog loves her and they are friends!! I’ll definitely repeat her for the future!
