Dog Walking West Village

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs, dog-sitting and dog-walking for years! I am extremely trustworthy, and have watched up to three dogs at once. I specialize in long walks, lots of pets, belly rubs and getting your dog out and about for some fresh air during the workday. I’m currently have lots of time to walk your dogs! happy to go on long or short walks - or bring them to a dog park… whatever you’d like! I regularly walk 20k plus steps a day! I am very diligent about safety. I will only walk dogs with harness, make sure we walk on quiet pedestrian streets, and keep them on short leash.

“Dani’s great with our dogs and reliable!”

About: I've been a dog owner for over six years to my Wheaten Terrier, who I absolutely adore, and have years of experience caring for other people's pets as well! I've dog sat both in my own home and through drop-in visits, so I'm comfortable adapting to different dogs, routines, and environments. I also spent several years regularly caring for a household with three cats, so I'm very comfortable with both dogs and cats. I currently have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for long walks, playtime, check-ins, and making sure your pet gets lots of attention! I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care on my remote days and weekends. I already have a pretty active lifestyle and love getting outside, so incorporating walks, playtime, and check-ins into my routine comes naturally. I'm happy to work with each pet's usual schedule and make sure they get plenty of attention and activity throughout the day! I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and coming into your home. I'll always follow your pet's normal routine and any specific instructions closely, whether that's their preferred walking route, feeding schedule, playtime, or other needs. I'm attentive and safety-conscious on walks and will make sure your pet gets plenty of care during every visit. I'm also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know they're happy and well cared for while I'm with them!

About: DOG EXPERIENCE: I have been a supportive and loyal dog auntie for 7+ years to many of my closest friends! I have brought their dogs to my home, boarded at theirs, and provided ad hoc walking assistance and play sessions whenever needed for them. CAT EXPERIENCE: I am a lifelong cat parent! I had 2 cats growing up, both of which lived 10+ years with me in my childhood home! After moving to New York, my roommate and I co-parented her cat during our time together until she whisked him away to his permanent vacation home in SF. After moving into my own apartment, I adopted a 1 year old Tuxie who was FELV+. Caring for a cat with special health issues taught me how to be deeply attuned to appetite changes, litter habits, hydration, anxiety, etc. I also developed special skills such as administering various types of medications. While he unfortunately succumbed to his illness last year, I was able to adopt 2 three month old kitten siblings from the same shelter! I have learned through them the dynamics between male vs. female behaviors, post-surgery care with their spay and neuter, and navigating their growth spurts and the varying energy levels of young kittens. I have grown to truly understand what cats need most to thrive in their environments: routines, consistent play time and enrichment, reassurance, and just someone to feel fully safe with. What really drives me to pursue pet sitting is that I have had past experiences with sitters looking after my own pets that have not been satisfying, and since then I’ve been committed to providing support that is punctual and to a tee to the instructions given. I am primarily available on weekends Friday - Sunday at any given time needed starting from 6AM to as late as 11PM. There is flexibility on Mondays through Thursdays post 6PM based on the service required I understand how crucial it is to abide by your pets’ regular routine to a tee. New people are already anxiety-inducing and stressful for them as it is! When it comes to my own cats, I feed them 3x a day by my own hand, with snacks set up on an auto feeder twice a day. Cats need at least 30 mins of enrichment and novelty a day, so I typically play with them and introduce something new in the mornings and at night right before bed. I scoop their litter box 3x a day as well. I can also assist with any grooming needs such a nail clipping, teeth brushing, etc. For dogs, I have always walked them 3x a day for my friends and given at least 10 mins of playtime post walks.

“Stellarae was great and I'd absolutely book her again. From the first message she was responsive, professional, and easy to coordinate with — she confirmed quickly and made the whole process simple. Communication was excellent throughout. She checked in ahead of the walk, and followed up with a nice note letting me know how everything went. The walk itself ran a bit longer than the scheduled time, which I appreciated. Stellarae was also genuinely warm and enthusiastic about the whole thing, not just going through the motions :)”

“George was prompt and extremely sweet. He and my dog Blaze hit it off immediately. When Blaze came back he was exhausted .I would recommend him and it de him in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Jadon, and I absolutely love dogs. I fostered dogs throughout all four years of college at USC, ranging from puppies to adult dogs, and I also grew up with my family’s Rhodesian Ridgeback/Boxer, Rooi, who made me a lifelong dog person. I know every dog has their own personality, and I’ll make sure yours gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and keep you updated along the way! I work at a dog-friendly startup with no resident dogs, so if your pup enjoys being around people, they’re welcome to spend the day with me! We have a spacious, open-concept office with plenty of room to explore, plus lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your dog prefers playing, going for walks, or curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With four years of fostering experience and years of caring for my own family dog, I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular updates with photos, and make sure they’re cared for just like they would be at home.

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

“Jessie has been walking our dog for several months. She brings everything we want in someone looking after our dog: dependability, professionalism and care. I couldn't recommend her more if you need a walker or sitter!”

Mark P.

“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!”

“Ellison was happy to accommodate my slightly unusual request, seeing as Meg is blind and doesn’t need a full 30-mins of walking. She was more than willing to let Meg out for a potty break and spend a little time with her at home inside the 30 minute walking window. I also appreciated that she was able to stop by ahead of time so I could quickly show her the usual routine and allow Meg to sniff her to get familiar before she came over for the walks that were scheduled.”

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.

“Abbey is incredibly. She made it a point to meet us and the dogs before her she started the walks and kept us informed and feeling good that the kids were in very good hands. Thank you!”
