“Jorge was great with Zora. She isn’t always comfortable around men. But he was very patient when he first met her. He made sure to get down on her level and made her comfortable. Within minutes she was in love and all over him! He was very communicative and gave great pics. She took him on a nice long walk and he was very patient. Will definitely hire again!”
About: Hi pet parents! I’m Midory. As a proud mom of two and a dedicated pet owner, my days are full of activity, structure, and a whole lot of love for animals. I specialize in walking and caring for dogs who thrive in lively environments and absolutely adore being around children.Because we are a busy, pet-loving household, your dog will get plenty of attention, built-in socialization, and a consistent routine. I know how important it is to keep pets safe and active while you are away, so I tailor our walks to your dog’s specific energy level.Our home is a warm, family-friendly space where your pup will be treated just like one of our own. I provide regular photo updates and transparent communication so you always have total peace of mind. I can't wait to meet your kid-friendly pup for some fun and exercise! Mornings between 8-11am as long as dogs are kid friendly.On weekends any time and I can also do anytime after 4pm on weekdays if needed. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep your dog's safety as my top priority. During walks, I strictly follow your preferred routes, use secure leashes, and practice positive reinforcement. For drop-in visits, I stick closely to your established routine: feeding on time, refreshing water, administering any needed medications, and providing plenty of play and affection. Before leaving, I always double-check that your home is secure, the pup is settled, and I send you a detailed update with photos.
About: I’ve had my two cats for about three years now, and we’ve built a routine together around feeding, playing, sleeping, and everything in between. Every day when I walk through the door, they’re the first two to greet me. I make sure they’re always fed, clean, hydrated, well cared for, and most importantly, safe. I work full time during the week, so I’m generally unavailable during the day, but I’m usually free in the evenings after work and have full availability on weekends. I live in a two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment with a private, enclosed patio where my cats can safely explore outdoors without the risk of escaping. We also have an extra bedroom set up so they have their own space and time when they want it.
About: I have had pets (dogs and cats) for all of my life and I really enjoy taking care of them. I have cared professionally animals over the past few years, and I look forward to hosting more! Currently I live alone, but I used to live with both a dog and two cats, so I thoroughly understand what is necessary for taking care of either. I live close to a couple of parks, and my neighborhood is very safe to walk around. Through this app, I want to gain more professional experience caring for pets as well as getting to know your pets’ different personalities. I do not currently have an animal of my own, so hosting your animal(s) will bring me great joy. I have flexible availability and look forward to taking care of your wonderful pets! Feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments! I currently work remotely, so I have ample time to spend taking care of your pets. Essentially, I would be able to take your dog out at least 3 times a day and more if needed. I am also completely home on the weekends, so I would absolutely have more time to spend with your beloved pets. I do daily morning, afternoon, and night walks to ensure that your dog can be relieved at a reasonable time. I dedicate time to stimulate and relax your dog as appropriate. I think mental stimulation is extremely important especially for high energy breeds.
About: I am great with animals and have taken care of them since I was 18. I am a patient walker that can be stern and leading with a dog, or let them go wherever their heart pleases! I am available generally Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please message me at least a few hours in advance as to allow me to adjust my schedule. My own dog is walked twice a day as well as an afternoon run around the yard. We feed him a researched well balanced diet of meats and veggies. I can work with difficult dogs but please inform me of any potential difficulties prior.

I am comfortable going to clients’ homes and will make sure your pets stay on their normal routine in a safe, stress-free environment.

About: My experience with animals goes beyond just having pets of my own! I’ve raised my cat, Khloe, since she was a newborn, cared for my boyfriend’s senior dog Gizmo (RIP), and even helped care for a family member’s puppy (Romeo) who was sick with a UTI. That meant keeping up with more frequent walks and giving the puppy extra attention throughout the week. I’ve also managed to keep three carnival goldfish (Darwin, Sayuri, and Mohawk) happy and healthy for over two years! From young pets who need supervision to senior pets who may need a gentler hand, I’ve learned every animal has different needs, but deserve the same patience consistency and love. I’m also a photographer and artist, so I LOVE catching those goofy moments that fill every pet owners phone gallery. If your pet becomes my buddy, don’t be surprised if you get an entire complimentary photo shoot! I will also be happy to clean your fur baby afterwards (yuck nyc floors) and provide poop bags, toys, treats, etc if needed!

We can work together to find the best schedule 🐾 Whether it is in my home or yours, my priority is making sure the fur baby is safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the usual feeding, walking, playtime, and rest routines as closely as possible. In your home, I’ll respect your space, keep your pet areas cleaner than you left them, and make sure they have fresh food and water.

Renso has been wonderful with Leah. He’s gentle and patient with her, which means a lot because she’s been grieving the loss of her person. He communicates clearly and often, so even though I don’t live nearby, I always know how the walk went. He texts when he arrives instead of ringing the bell, which keeps Leah calm. He’s been very accommodating when we’ve changed the schedule, and he’s easy to work with. We’re so grateful for him. Highly recommend!
She was absolutely amazing with Oreo and went above and beyond! She spent extra time with him, made sure he had fresh water, played with him, gave him his licking mat, and kept me updated the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was getting so much attention and love while I was away. I truly appreciate everything she did and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐶
I highly recommend Christopher! Blue has anxiety, so finding someone patient and understanding was so important. Chris took the time to earn his trust, never rushed him, and always made sure he felt safe and comfortable. Knowing Blue is in such caring hands gives me complete peace of mind. I love receiving the updates and photos, and seeing how excited Blue is for his walks says it all. Thank you for treating Blue like family—I truly appreciate the love, patience, and care you give him!
