“Mary is amazing she is so sweet and affectionate towards my dog and has been available last minute for extra/ longer walks. I feel good knowing my dog is cared for by her!”

About: I have had a dog for 25 years of my life and have been walking friends and families dogs for years. I work from home and am very flexible throughout the day to walk your dog, stop in, etc. I have plenty of experience taking care and walking dogs around New York City! I work from home during the week so I have lots of time to walk them even if it’s a quick walk and on the weekends! Feed, bathe, take them out to the bathroom. I am more than capable of taking care of dogs and keeping them safe and have done so for 25 years

“Felipe was great with Martini! I was initially a little worried bc she has bad separation anxiety, but Felipe handled her with care and grace and gave me tips for walking her when she’s super excited! Would be happy to have Felipe sit Martini again anytime!”


About: 🎉 LIMITED-TIME OFFER: FIRST DOG WALK ONLY $10 FOR NEW CLIENTS! 🐾 Offers one-on-one walks with special, loving attention to each dog’s individual personality, energy level, and routine. I’m experienced walking dogs in the city and stay very aware of things like traffic, sidewalk snacks, and reactive dogs, so your pup will always have my full attention and care while we’re out together. I also have a flexible and remote work schedule and can accommodate a variety of walking times. I live in between Madison Square Park and Hudson River Park. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I have a flexible work from home schedule and would love to welcome some doggies into my life! I usually spend a good amount of time walking for exercise so walking dogs really makes sense for me. I treat dogs like a member of the family. I make it a priority to pay close attention to their unique cues and foster communication so they feel understood and safe in my care. I’m a naturally active person and usually get a few miles in every day on my own, so your dog will have a reliable partner for walks and exercise. I’m very patient so that they can enjoy sniffing to their hearts desire and I keep a close watch so they don’t eat anything bad.
About: I have experience taking care of my own dog as well as others’ dogs. I found a scrappy mini schnauzer named Mickey at the shelter in 2018 and fell in love immediately. I brought him home that day and was his primary caretaker for the next 7 years through his difficult battle with cancer. Since losing him, I’ve been volunteering at the shelter and dog-sitting others’ dogs. I can provide attentive care based on you and your dog’s needs, including special needs and senior dogs. I’d love to meet you and your dog and see how I can help! Im currently a student, so I have a lot of free time. I am free to walk your dogs pretty much anytime that works for you! My priority is keeping your dog safe and your home secure through every visit. I am extremely careful during entries and exits to ensure your pet stays safely inside, and I always double-check that all doors are locked when I leave. During walks, I stay highly alert to our surroundings, including traffic and other animals, while maintaining a secure grip on the leash at all times. You can expect a detailed update and photos after every walk so you have total peace of mind.

“Man was wonderful. Very friendly and communicative and handle our pup very well. Was even amenable to come despite last minute request. Thanks Man!”

About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m 25 and a full time model with some free time to walk and hang with your pets! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—tortoises, chickens, hedgehogs, dogs, cats—you name it. My family and I fostered over 200 animals through our local shelter, and I’ve continued fostering and caring for pets on my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, kittens, seniors, pregnant and special-needs animals, and those with unique behaviors. I truly love animals, and since I travel for work and can’t have one of my own right now, pet sitting and walking gives me the joy of being around them. I recently moved to New York and would love to help care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m currently living in West Village. I am from Dallas, Texas. I have a huge family I love. I am a full time model. I’m 25. I love you to hike, cook, walk dogs at my local rescue, work out, hang with friends (pretty basic I know). I have an apartment I share with two of my other girlfriends. There is a separate living room and kitchen so it’s not too small. For the most part they’ll be with me full time. Wherever I go, they go with me. If that’s on the bed, floor, bathroom car, you name it!

About: Full-time dog walker and devoted animal lover offering the best of my humanity to the service of our dearest friends the pets. I capture priceless daily updates and insights of my services and input (videos of every walk and portraits of every pet) and I send them to you after each walk. I work full-time as an animal caregiver with deep intention and purpose giving my all for the cause. I will get anywhere I am needed, anytime; scheduling ahead is most ideal to organize other walks around the city, but I can also do last minute things if I am allowed a 90 minutes window to make it in case I am in a different area. It is well known that my care for animals transcends feeding them and giving them water; I make sure that every walk is an opportunity to build and/or maintain positive behavioral patterns while addressing any “undesirable” patterns that could be exhibited with patience, understanding and the right amount of love… at the end of the day, it gives me unmeasurable pleasure to see animals safe, content and relaxed.
About: Dog Walking is a joy! You can expect a full report card, details of each walk, sooo many pictures of your fur-baby cruising the streets of NYC and getting the most of their walk! NOTE: 🌟Will take them on a walk or two before fully committing to regular clients🌟 this is because each fur client is specific, has unique set of needs and will know for certain whether this is the best fit for your baby!! I will not and do not rush things and because of this I will get to know your baby well and will build a beautiful connection as walker and dog ✅ Since becoming a dog mom to my golden retriever, Pony, I’ve had the joy of welcoming dogs of all ages and personalities into my home 🐾 I did this to socialize him and now it’s what I do! I’m experienced with a wide range of needs, temperaments, and energy levels. I love taking the dogs on long walks, and if your dog is a runner like I am, I’m happy to take them on a run! What your dog can expect while getting one or all of my services • A safe, calm home in the West Village (5th-floor walk-up) • Plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care (always tailored to your dog’s personality and energy level) • Solo walks — I prioritize one-on-one time so your dog can move at their own pace and feel fully comfortable I have everything needed to ensure your dog feels happy, safe, and at home 🤍 I have a flexible, reliable schedule and am available throughout the week to provide consistent, attentive care for your pet. I intentionally keep my schedule open so I can fully commit — whether that’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I intentionally take on a limited number of dogs at a time so I can provide calm, personalized, and attentive care 🤍 BOARDING: If your dog is staying in my home, I’m located in a fifth-floor walk-up in the West Village. While I don’t have a yard, I’m very active with my own dog, Pony, and we go on frequent walks throughout the day. We spend time along the Hudson River Park, and if it suits your dog’s personality, I’m happy to include visits to the dog park as well. HOUSE SITTING: If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll fully utilize your space — whether that’s a yard, balcony, or preferred walking routes — and follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and happy.
“My dog had to have emergency surgery the night before I was leaving for a week and Abbey went above and beyond to take care of him and spend time with him as he was healing. 🙌🏻 Highly recommend!!!”

“So diligent and responsible Leia had a health scare and he was very quick to take her to the vet which was super helpful always scary to not be able to be there when you have a pet in need but Kobi was amaizing at communicating through the whole situation”

About: Spent time with dogs and cats since I was young. My aunt and neighbor worked for the same animal rescue company which became one of my primary experiences with animals. I’m able to handle any size and attitude, i’m in plenty good shape if they prefer runs as well. I’m missing my dogs back home, let me take care of yours !! I have classes 5-6 monday through thursday. I am free all other times and more than willing, can commute any distance and will walk any distance. I’m understanding of each clients rules and expectations, I tend to be softer on the animals but will run a strict ship if that’s the request.
About: With 40 years of experience with pets, I am extremely passionate about being around animals and love getting to know new furry friends! I have taken care of many senior pets and understand what it takes to give a pet the individualistic care they need so they feel loved and tended to. I currently work part-time which leaves me with a lot of time to tend to your furry friend! I am able to accommodate short-notice requests and am happy to meet your needs. When caring for your cat, I will be sure to take every measure to understand them on a deep level in order to better provide for their needs. I am committed to fostering a comfortable environment where they feel safe and that their space is not being intruded upon.

Kelly and Frank were such kind, considerate, and communicative walkers for Tito! They went the extra mile coordinating with my other dog sitter and paid extra care to Tito’s injured paw by adjusting his walking schedule and playing with him inside. I would definitely book them again in the future!

Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
Austin was great! He walked Rascal approximately twice daily for a four-day period. He reliable, communicative and easy to deal with. Rascal can be a bit cranky when he doesn’t know somone but Austin was able to handle him and earn his trust. We felt very comfortable knowing that Rascal was in good hands!

Anastasiia was wonderful with my dog! She met us beforehand for a meet and greet, and then provided photos and feedback during her first walk. She is trustworthy and was great with navigating the procedures in my apartment building. I am so thankful for her help!

Elizabeth walks our dog multiple times a week and we can’t recommend her enough — she is fantastic!! Our dog loves her and she is so easy to work with. She is always on time and is flexible, communicative, and thoughtful. We have loved working with her and highly recommend!
