Dog Walking Woodside

About: I work from home full-time, so your dog gets company and supervision all day: no long stretches alone. My basement-level apartment has a private, fully enclosed outdoor open-sky patio with direct sliding-door access for easy care, play, and sunbathing. I’ve fostered dogs before and share my home with Jasper, my friendly 5-year-old corgi, who loves canine company (we do a meet-and-greet before every booking to make sure everyone’s comfortable). Daily routine includes walks, play sessions, and photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. Neutered/spayed dogs only, please or we can talk about it in depth before booking. I work from home full-time and go gig work on the side. My work and career are flexible to meet the needs of those who are looking for a treat extra support and care! I can easily adapt to any needs for care. Since I work from home, pups can stay out and about with me all day. We take multiple walks throughout the day around the neighborhood and/or the block which is very dog friendly. Additionally, there is a park within 10 minutes walk and a dog park within 10 minutes walk however we typically will stay on our back patio and do treat dispensing play toys, splash pad days, or general lounging. The patio is where the pups love to explore and lay out on in the sun. It is cleaned off daily and deep cleaned weekly.

“Arlo loves Jia! They always go to the park and play ball, and she makes sure when he’s home that he is brushed and pampered and given so much love. Thank you Jia!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets :) I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 10am. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I follow the owner’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also keep the home clean and send regular updates with photos.

“Amazing dog walker. I'm so grateful for her. She helped me with a complicated situation. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and have extensive experience fostering both cats and dogs! More than anything, I love to meet new animals and put my whole heart into giving them the care they deserve. I have two lovely kitties of my own who I love so, so, so, much (I will tell you all about them if given the chance). In my foster experience, I have given loving care and found forever homes for all of the following: -Disabled Pets -Elderly Pets -Kittens and Puppies FULL of energy -Former Strays -Pets Requiring Attentive Medical Care I promise you, in any situation with an animal, I am more than willing and equipped to provide the best possible care. Additionally, I know what it’s like to trust your own pet with a stranger through Rover as I’ve done it many times. I know it can be nerve-wracking and anxiety-inducing just imagining your furry family member in the hands of someone else, so I always make sure communication and trust with you and your lovely pet are the number 1 priority. So please, allow me to allow you to take a (somewhat) easier sigh of relief that even if you can’t be there with your pet, they are in the best possible care! I work full-time until 5PM every weekday, so I am available for walks and care after 5PM M-F and boarding on the weekend. I have all the necessary materials and supplies for both cats and dogs (bowls, harnesses, leashes, adjustable crates and carriers, grooming equipment, etc), all the windows have screens, and I live near several parks and green areas. I have two adorable lovely kitties who are friendly but I also have a separate unused bedroom that can be used as needed.

“Needed a last minute person and she came through, followed instructions, did everything I told her to do, really appreciate her. Thank you for taking care of my baby’s”

About: Hi, I’m a pet sitter based in New York City offering calm, attentive, and highly reliable in-home pet care. I provide a steady, low stress presence for pets who thrive on routine, familiarity, and gentle attention while their owners are away. My approach is quiet, consistent, and detail-oriented, focused on maintaining your pet’s normal rhythm so they feel secure in their own environment. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of varying temperaments, including pets who are shy, sensitive, or accustomed to more structured care. I take time to understand each pet’s behavior, preferences, and routine so care feels seamless and familiar. Clients can expect clear communication, timely updates, and thoughtfully documented check-ins with photos so you always feel connected and informed while traveling. I also take great care in respecting your home. Maintaining a clean, orderly space and ensuring everything is exactly as you left it. Whether you need overnight care, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet remains comfortable, your home remains respected, and you travel without concern. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I can't wait to meet you and your beloved pets! Warm regards, Nellie I offer flexible availability for morning, midday, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as weekend care and select overnight stays. I’m also available for last minute bookings when possible and respond quickly to messages to keep scheduling simple and reliable. My goal is to provide steady, dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and your travel plans. I prioritize a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet I care for. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, litter care, and any medications, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort level. Dogs are always securely leashed on walks, and cats are never forced into interaction, they’re cared for on their terms. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and mindful of security at all times. You’ll receive regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my family dogs Daisy the Shih Tzu for 14 great years, and caring for her taught me everything from daily routines to understanding her weird little quirks that make each dog unique. Since then, I’ve become the go‑to dog sitter for my friends, regularly helping with walks and overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and know the importance of taking care of your dog as if it was my own. Your pet’s comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m committed to giving them the same love and attention they expect at home. I am currently working a flexible hybrid job in Tribeca and live in Astoria. I am flexible in terms of being near either location and more throughout the week. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, well‑organized 1‑bedroom apartment (about 500 sq ft), which creates a calm, controlled, and quiet environment that’s perfect for dogs who thrive on consistency and attention. My apartment is a short walk from multiple parks, so your dog will have plenty of space to play. The space is fully pet‑proofed and there is plenty of space for your dog’s bed/crate.

About: I'm a very gentle, responsible, and hardworking pet-sitter. I've taken care of dogs and cats of all sorts of sizes and breeds. I currently live with a pet and have lived with pets in the past while taking care of them. I also know basic grooming if you need help with that as well! I mostly stay home from Friday to Monday, so I can provide services over long weekends. I also come home from work around 5pm from Tuesday to Thursday, so I can provide services after 5pm then. I'm physically active, so I can also play with high-energy dogs. I live in a safe neighborhood with a spacious apartment. My roommate has an adorable miniature dachshund, Koko. Koko is extremely well-behaved and well-socialized. If your pet were to stay with me, she/he would be very safe and comfortable.

About: Hi! I'm Ameli, a lifelong cat lover and owner of two wonderful cats. I know every cat has a unique personality, whether they're playful, shy, or senior. During each drop-in visit I'll refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime and affection (if your cat enjoys it), and send detailed photo updates so you know they're doing well. I treat every cat as if they were my own and always respect each owner's routine and instructions. Pet care fits in my routine on days such as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I can do as the owner says to efficiently take care of the pet. In my home, my cats are fed 2 times a day, with dry food left out all day which is also renewed everyday. They get brushed and wiped very often, and play time several times a day.

“Andrea was great:) my dog just walked right out the door with her and didn’t look back LOL , I was worried about letting my baby out with anyone cause she hates anything with wheels but she handled everything great . I’ll be using her again.”

Angi G.

“Angel is awesome. He really understands dogs and is sensitive to their needs. Our dog is a little uncomfortable around strangers and he did a great job with him on our initial meet and greet. Angel's top priority is safety which really puts me and my husband's mind at ease. We know our dog is in good hands!”

“Marcela did an amazing job!! She was so communicative and responsive, and took great photos and videos of the walk. I can tell my dog got comfortable with her very quickly, and that she was able to read his communication and body language very quickly as well.”

About: I have two cats of my own but I also have experience taking care of two active australian cattle dogs who love to run and play. They love to go to the dog park and run along the Hudson River with me. My active lifestyle will be the perfect match for dogs that need a lot of outdoor time and my personality is the perfect match for all dogs that want another human friend to cherish them. Even if your dog doesn’t like to go outside, I would love to stay in and cuddle with them. I honestly love dogs more than people and I can guarantee that I will take the absolute best care of your dog. Anywhere you need me to take them, I will go. And anything they need, I will provide. I work from home a few days a week and would love to clear my head with your dog! We would walk on my breaks and when I'm off of work. I do not offer care in my home as I already have 2 cats. However, for drop in visits, I will do my best to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you are away!

“My dog loves !!”

“My dog is old and has quite a few special needs. Austin has a really lovely way with him. Austin has been incredibly patient and gentle and thoughtful about my dog's experience. I highly recommend Austin to care for your senior dog or any dog with special needs.”
