About: Hi, I’m Cynthia ! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals looking to spread and gain some joy through my love for animals. Driven by a deep affection for dogs and a desire to enhance my physical health, I am exploring dog walking and dog sitting services. This endeavor is not only a refreshing diversion from my corporate tech job but also a meaningful way to contribute beyond the confines of my computer. It’s a step towards a healthier lifestyle and a gesture of giving back to the world, one dog walk at a time. I had my own little friend and we spent 12 years together. He battled a few medical issues making me equipped to handle any special needs of your dog. Additionally, throughout my college years, I spent time volunteering at animal shelters providing long walks on trails. While my journey in professional dog walking may have just begun, my lifelong love for dogs shines through in every interaction. My enthusiasm and genuine affection for these friends set me apart. At a party, you can spot this vegan in the corner spending time with the family's dog. I believe that every dog deserves personalized attention. My approach is tailored to each dog’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and engaged during our walks. I provide nurturing care for puppies, ensuring safe and positive walks that cater to their curiosity. For senior dogs, I offer a peaceful companionship, mindful of their slower pace and physical needs. Above all, my connection with dogs is heart-driven. I strive to ensure every dog in my care feels like the most special pup in the world 💖 🕒 Work-Life Balance: Working from home means I’m never too far from a wagging tail. My flexible WFH schedule works well with any spontaneity needs. 📅 Weekend: Weekends are for adventure! Whether it’s a hike in the trails or simply a walk around the quiet neighborhood, I make sure your dog experiences the excitement and stimulation they crave. Housesitting: I do not do extended house-sitting stays due to prior commitments and schedule conflicts. Dog Boarding: I do not do extended dog boarding as I must occasionally step out for long periods. This can be discussed if you and your pet are comfortable being left alone. 🏠 Home Sweet Home: Above all, my home is a haven of love and care, where pets are treated as cherished family members. With me, every pet enjoys a routine filled with affection, attention, and the utmost care. They will be under watch 24/7.
About: I will never leave your pet alone! I am a retired adult and have more than 8 years experience. You won’t regret this pet sitter! I am currently retired from teaching little kids and now seeking to work with pets! I have tons of experience and will carefully watch your pet. I can watch big dogs but only one at a time. I have a completely fenced in yard and will not leave your pet unsupervised, I only use an un-retractable leash for extra pet safety .
About: Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a young professional with a love for all animals.

“Amazing guy. My dog was well taken care of and I was informed of all visits with pictures. Will be using Ryan again for all my pet sitting needs”
About: I am a animal lover who has cared for many different animals over my lifetime. From a young age I have owned dogs, cats, birds, and many more! I enjoy being around animals and have taken care of pets both in home and while owners are away! I am a happy soul and would love to meet and care for your pet! I work full time in NYC in and can do walks in the afternoon lunch hour most weekdays. Weekends are always free for more walk and play time. Willing to adjust and accommodate with your schedule! Always willing to do the best care for your pet. If it’s walks outside, playtime inside and everything else, it would be a thrill for me to meet and care for your pet.
About: I started taking care of my friends dog for about a year now. Before going on vacation, they would bring their dogs care stuff and a scheduled list and times he would eat. I would play, feed and bathe the dog. I work per diem at the hospital so I take care of your dog anytime. I’m flexible. Just let me know ahead of time so I can coordinate with my work schedule. I have a fence and a decent size backyard. I can follow a scheduled regime for your dogs needs. I used to have a dog so I understand the importance of taking care of your dog with the upmost care.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My husband and I currently have 2 medium sized dogs and my family just adopted a new puppy. The family I babysit also has a dog that I care for while I watch the children. Love to take care of dogs and let them be there energetic selves. Looking for a way to exercise and walk and what better way than with a dog! I'm currently working in a school as a teacher. I am available after 3:15pm on weekdays during the school year. Looking for some time to spend with pets, to help both myself and the pet get outside and have fresh air and exercise. Also looking for a summer position during the day while I also babysit during the summer. Could do some weekends and early days depending on my schedule and knowing in advance. I walk, fed, played with dogs throughout my life and while I babysit for the family in the summer. I have a fenced in yard and love going on walks and to parks with the dogs.
About: I love all animals! I have 2 dogs (14 and 5), a freshwater tank, and a bearded dragon, but that’s really sized down! I am also a step mother to my boyfriend’s cat :) While in school I worked at a pet store as a manager for 4 years, so I have hands on experience with handling and administering medication from dwarf hamsters to reticulated pythons! As a child, I volunteered at a dog rescue for a few years. Before all this, my first “job” after school from the ages of 11-14 was a mini dog walking business in my neighborhood. I plan on volunteering with my local pet store’s cat rescue group soon. I am on summer vacation, so I have all the time in the world! I work at a university and we receive free classes as a benefit, so I will be taking one course at night 2x/week until July, but I can do that remotely! I will care for your pets to the same caliber that you provide for them and I do mine! Whatever works best for you and your pet is what I aim for :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’ve also cared for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety, giving them calm, patient attention. I truly love animals and treat each one like they’re my own. I’m reliable, gentle, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy in my care. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I’m available for walks during the day and overnight stays at your home on both weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get all the attention, exercise, and love they need while you’re away. I care for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I always follow your pet’s routine closely and keep their environment clean, calm, and safe. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or overnight stays, I make sure your fur baby feels secure and loved while you’re gone.
