About: All my life I’ve had a love for animals and my fair share of pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own, not just a job to check off. I pay close attention to their routine, behavior, and personality so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m very reliable with feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and keeping their environment clean.What really sets me apart is that I don’t just ‘watch’ pets. I actively engage with them, whether that’s playtime, enrichment, or just giving them the attention and affection they need. I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have a lot of free time to walk or visit your fur babies whenever needed! I responsibly care for dogs in their home by following routines, providing food, exercise, and companionship, maintaining cleanliness, monitoring health, and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Friends, family, and peers trust me to take care of their pets while they’re away. I made sure that they returned home better than ever like they went on a vacation too! I have experience with high-energy pups to senior dogs and can adapt to their personality and pace. I enjoy caring for animals from walking, playing, administering medication, grooming, and providing a calm space. What find most important is being patient and attentive to what your pet specifically needs. My top priority is always keeping pets happy and healthy. I’m currently on a break from school and not working on anything else. My dog, cat, and turtle keep me company in the house. I enjoy daily walks, visiting the park, and sunset outings. Rain or shine I’m available to go on walks, have playtime, visit parks, or give cozy cuddles. I’d be happy to take dogs out to walk wherever they’re most comfortable. I can also assist with grooming, clean up, take in mail, water plants, or any other tasks. I’m currently not taking pets into my home but I am willing to travel.

“Thank u so much for walking my puppy since my walker had to cancel last minute. You were so wonderful with being flexible and also waiting until someone got home so u can walk Jesse.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We have been working with Emmanuel for almost 2 years on both regular walks Monday through Friday, emergency walks, and drop-in walks (3xs/day) when out of town. We have a 12-year old Pittie who absolutely adores him, and we trust him with her care. She is dog-reactive, has a heart condition (and now lymphoma), and required meds when we’re away. Emmanuel treated her with so much care and love and almost daily walked her MUCH longer than the 30 minutes we requested. He’s professional and friendly and is just an all around good person. If it weren’t for her costs of her cancer treatment, we’d still be using him. Highly recommend Emmanuel!”

It is so hard to find a reliable, dependable, trustworthy person that will come into your home when you are not there and care for your furry baby. Shelly is that person. She is kind, loving, flexible and truly cares for animals. Shelly, thank you for the love you give to Cavi and the dedication you have to this profesion.
Riti has been amazing with our little guy! She is prompt, attentive, and always provides updates showing she genuinely cares for Dax and his well being. Her caring demeanor was evident from the first time she came to our house and Dax, who struggles with anxiety and is extremely timid, immediately took to her. She is extremely supportive and patient with him and I can't recommend her enough.
had a great experience with Annalee! She was right on time, took great care of Romeo, and did an awesome job taking him for his walk. I really appreciated that she kept me updated with pictures and let me know when he peed and pooped. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive. I would definitely recommend her and will happily book with her again! 🐶❤️
This was my second time booking with Hector, and once again he did an excellent job caring for my dog. He is reliable, communicative, and always attentive to my dog’s needs. I appreciate how respectful and professional he is when coming into my home, which makes the entire experience stress-free. It’s reassuring to know my dog is in good hands, and I will definitely continue rebooking with him in the future.
Marin is such an incredible dog walker for my senior potties. She was consistently reliable, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about my dog’s well-being. Marin was attentive to Patrick’s needs, accommodating, and always made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. I am truly appreciated her professionalism, kindness, and the genuine care she showed throughout our time working together. Again, I’m grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker 💚

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Yonkers. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
