Dog Walking Washington Heights

About: I grew up caring for both big and small dogs (and horses!), so I love dogs of all ages and sizes! I promise to treat your furry family like my own while helping to maintain your pet's daily routine, including walks, meals, play (in the home and/or at dog parks), baths, cuddles, and whatever else your pet loves. I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian, so I spend most of my day talking with people. Here, I continue to learn the value and importance of connecting with others. As your pet's sitter or walker, I prioritize communication and comfortability with you to ensure that you feel excited about your pets care. I know I am! I currently work as a research assistant at Columbia University/ New York-Presbyterian. I spend my mornings at the hospital from about 10am-2pm. On any day, I am available either early in the morning or afterwards for walks or play time with your pups. On weekends, I am available for boarding. Every third week, I work from home and would love to board and/or care for your furry family for the week. It's priority to me to maintain the routine your pup knows and loves. I hope to get to know you and your pet so I can incorporate your pet's favorite walking routes, parks, toys, food, and general activity into the care I provide. On a side note, I am a distance runner! If you would like your pet to get some extra energy out, I would love to run with them.

“Excellent communication and timely updates. Appreciated her attentive care of Manolo.”

“Binta was excellent with our dog for walks and feeding her dinner and giving her medication. She was on time, communicated well, and gave great updates. Would recommend!”

About: My experience caring for animals comes mainly from taking care of my own cat, with whom I have learned to truly understand animals’ body language and needs. I am used to paying attention to his nutrition, hydration, hygiene, behavior, energy level, and overall well-being, and I understand that every animal has a different personality and different needs. For example, mine gets stressed around strangers, which is why I understand that you have to be very patient when it comes to cats. There are all kinds: affectionate, little troublemakers, ones who ignore you and then come looking for you when they want to be fed 😂, ones who get angry, and others who are more sensitive, etc. I am very observant and caring; I like to earn their trust while respecting their space and paying attention to any small changes in their behavior. I also have experience with their basic care, such as deworming, proper nutrition, hygiene, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. To me, caring for an animal means treating them with the same love, patience, and responsibility that I would give my own. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so pet care can easily fit into my daily routine. I can dedicate enough time to feeding, playing, walking, and giving each pet the attention and care they need. I would care for the pet as if they were my own, carefully following the owner’s instructions and routine. I’d provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks, comfort, and plenty of affection while keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable.

“Jaquelin has just started walking my dog and she’s been incredibly gentle and patient with my girl Maya. Her communication and updates have made it easy to trust her. She’ll be continuing the weekly walks with Maya.”

“Lee was awesome! I requested his services to walk and feed my dog while I was an away on a trip, and it was a great experience. Lee was very communicative, punctual, reliable, and all around great with my doggo. I would definitely recommend his services to any dog owners that needs someone good and trustworthy to care for them.”

“Jacob walked our two big kids Maggie & Milo for 6 days and put up with all their pulling and stubbornness. We could not have asked for a friendlier, more conscientious or patient person to deal with these two critters. I'm giving Jacob 5 stars and my strongest recommendation to anyone looking for an A+ walker.”

“Drew was an awesome dog walker and I can’t say enough amazing things about him! He came out to meet Bro before the walk to make sure everything went well. He also had patience when I forgot to give the lockbox code. Very grateful to Drew! Book him!”

Marie E.

“Shaun was the best. His attention to detail is incredible and it’s obvious he is providing your dog the best possible experience. Before the first walk, he asked a few questions about my dog’s personality. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was getting to know my dog and providing individualized care (playing her favorite games, shortening the walk on a day when she seemed tired). He even flagged a minor health issue for my awareness. This is a true dog person and I would be delighted to book again (and I think my dog would appreciate it too!).”

About: I had 2 dogs for 20 years and I currently volunteer at Animal Haven. I have always had a love for animals and enjoy caring for them Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because Ive set aside specific days and time blocks for visits. I make sure I can accept bookings I can fully commit to so each pet gets my full attention I typically communicate with the client what they want. I always want to make sure I accommodate what the owner wants and if I can deliver. For me communication is very important

“Arleth is awesome! She is caring, responsible, communicative, and punctual. I booked Arleth for dog walking and she always sent updates and lots of photos. She was sure to ask questions to make sure she provided the best care for my dog during his walks. Your pet will be in good hands. Thank you, Arleth!”

“Joon is absolutely fantastic! I had Joon walk my dog Toby five days in a row and Toby loved him. Joon is incredibly consistent, kind, and reliable. I am very relieved to have found someone so great and will absolutely have Joon walk Toby again in the future!”

Olivia M.

“Leonore was the best! Timely, professional, communicated well, and brought joy to our pup. We are most grateful for her and will absolutely book her again! -DeVon, Analisse & Nala 🐾”

Devon & Analisse L.

“This was my first time using Rover and Victor made a great first impression! He was able to get my shy pup to open up and by the end of the booking, they were besties! He was very great with communication and always made sure to let me know how my dog was doing. Would recommend Victor to a friend!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages. I used to go to zoology camps when I was a kid and used to want to be a vet. Having the trust of an animal is a privilege and a blessing and I do not take these things for granted 💙 I work part time at a fitness studio and substitute teach. I’d love to pop by and check on your furry loved ones or take your pooch for a walk before or after work or on weekends when I’m not with my own cat 🐈‍⬛ I love guidance and instructions - if you leave them, I’ll follow them to a ‘T’. Also, not to brag, but animals love me. In addition to wanting to be a vet when I was a child, a Disney princess surrounded by woodland creatures was high on the list!

About: I am a dedicated pet care provider that is comfortable with any animal shape or size. I am very passionate about my job and making sure the pet Im taking care of has all of its needs, and ofcourse some slight spoilage! I started out in dog daycares and moved on to do all kinds of animal care work. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young at 2 months old! I am educating myself to become a dog trainer and can help provide tips when it comes to building human-canine relationships. I can also do specials needs such as insulin shots. I am also in the process of becoming a certified Animal Handler in New York State, so I can further my education in animal care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby! I currently work part time once a week at a Grooming academy. So i will have plenty of time during the week to spend time with your pet! I also live with animals so I am constantly spending my time walking feeding and caring for them. I walk the dogs at least 4 times a day. Morning, mid day, evening, and late night relief. Also depending on the weather a trip to the dog park. I live in a spacious apartment with 3 cats and two dogs. I have done my best to provide a sanctuary here for my animals and any visitsors who comes across us. I have one room dedicated to the animal with cat trees and soft spaces. Water fountains (for dogs and cats) and beds for lounging. I have gates for separation during feeding times and a nice big couch everyone is welcome to lounge on!

“We had a last-minute situation where I was traveling, Lola's Dad was working, and our sitter had to cancel. Elizabeth jumped in to cover. Elizabeth was so helpful, communicative, and did exactly what Lola needed, walks and attention : ) Thank you so much for helping! Hope we Lola can see you again!”
