Dong is an absolutely amazing dog walker! He has been walking my pup for the past ten days, and he has been incredibly understanding and flexible, especially during the chaos of my home renovations. Dong has consistently gone above and beyond, ensuring my pup gets plenty of exercise and is always happy and well-cared for. I'm so grateful for his reliability and dedication. I highly recommend Dong to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

About: I provide reliable dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. I've spent 17 years caring for my cat and a Maltese for 2 years, so I understand both long-term care and daily pet needs. I’m calm, patient, and good with all temperaments, and I follow routines carefully to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while keeping owners updated. I’m available 7 days a week for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care. Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability and scheduling. My goal is to keep pets comfortable and safe by following their routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and playtime. I also provide regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. My household includes a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, so I'm comfortable managing everything from giant breeds and high-energy dogs to independent, affectionate cats. Living with a Doberman has given me experience with intelligent, active dogs that thrive on structure, exercise, and attention. My Great Dane has taught me the unique needs of giant breeds, including gentle handling, patience, and awareness of their size and comfort. My two Maine Coons have helped me develop an understanding of feline behavior, grooming needs, and creating a calm, enriching environment for cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I have the space and resources to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐕🐈 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of a Doberman Pinscher, a Great Dane, and two Maine Coon cats, my days are already structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, supervised play, and check-ins. Pets in my care receive regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. My large rooftop deck also provides a convenient space for supervised outdoor time and exercise between walks. I understand the importance of maintaining consistency, so I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding times, medication schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and help them feel comfortable and at home during their stay. 🐾 Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel at home while you're away. I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized large dogs—a Doberman Pinscher and a Great Dane—who are accustomed to being around other animals. I carefully manage introductions and always prioritize each pet's comfort level to ensure a positive experience for everyone. One of the highlights of my home is a spacious 1,600-square-foot private rooftop deck, providing plenty of room for supervised outdoor time, fresh air, play, and exercise. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, and all activities are monitored to maintain a safe environment. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your furry family member in someone else's care. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. 🐾

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.

About: Hi! My name is Hallie, and I’m a certified animal lover. I grew up with some wonderful dogs and have been a proud cat mom for the last 10 years. I also worked as a dog walker/pet sitter for about six years at a reputable dog walking company in NYC. My time as a professional animal caretaker left me with a wealth of experience with cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, ages, temperaments, and abilities, so whatever your animal’s unique needs are, I am prepared to provide them with the personalized love and care they deserve. I understand how important your fluffy family members are to you and will happily provide you with as much communication, including details and pictures, as you like. Hope to connect with you and your pet soon! My schedule is very flexible! I make my own hours so I can easily work around your schedule. Weekdays, weekends, and evenings are all fair game. I’m available to stay with your pet in your home, so they can be totally comfortable and their routine, including meals, walks, and play sessions, can remain exactly the same as always.

About: I’ve taken care of my own 3 Pomeranians and 1 cat for about 5 years now. Whatever services you require are probably tasks that I’ve experienced and would be comfortable doing. My dogs are my super spoiled best friends, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I am able and available just about everyday to walk or dog sit and can work it pretty easily around my schedule as needed or requested. I walk dogs, play with them, can give medicine as directed, feed them, and just hang out with them. I am kind, gentle, and will care for your dogs with the utmost patience and respect.
