Julian m.	Hi my name is Julian. Currently, I'm a graduate Student in bilingual math education. Since I was a child I loved dogs. Now I have two. Theo is a half Japanese Chin and half Maltese. Murdock is a Black Mouth Cur. He's still a young and acts like a two year old boy. I love to read and draw. On weekends you can find me with the family in the park or hiking.
kathleen a.	Hi my name is kathleen but go by the name of Katt, I've always been intrigued with working with animals specifically with dogs and cats. I've co parent my ex's pit bull (drama) and she was the main reason why I wanted to pursue a job with dog walking. Taking care of drama was like raising a fury child and it was an extraordinary experience. It taught me how to be responsible, intuitive, and knowledgeable. I had to do my research based on her breed just to take better care of her and understand her needs. Having a pet in general isn't like buying a new toy, there's a lot of work and responsibilities that comes with it, along with mental and emotional understanding. With that being said it actually lead me to my holistic healing journey. I've been studying holistic healing for humans and animals and thats something that I've been working on and very passionate about. I've been practicing different modalities trying to figure out what works best and teach others who are interested in healing their life in a more natural and Spiritual approach.
Nevaeh F.	Hi my name is Nevaeh, I am a 20yr old College students who loves fur babies and has owned a Siberian husky and Poodle. I also have experience with cats as well. I currently own 2 cats named Pepper and Macy. This job works perfectly for me because walking the dog not only benefits both mental and physical health of the dog but for me as well. Animals are a stress reliever for me and taking a nice calm walk just lowers my stress levels even more. I am grateful to be blessed with the opportunity to bond with other fur babies. I treat my own animals with love, care, & tenderness and I promise I’ll do the same with yours.

Cat L.	Hi there! I'm Cat. Aside from always wanting to do some petting. My experience with animals started when I was young, I've always cared for at least 2 pets at any given time. My passion for animals led me to study animal science in undergrad. (so like please help me use my degree). In addition to basic first aid (of dogs, cats and rabbits) I have completed courses in canine behavior and psychology. I gained hands on skills in numerous methods of training with an emphasis on positive reinforcement. I have even trained my rabbit and my old roommate's cats!! I have worked with many dogs, of varying breeds, sizes, ages and temperaments in both one to one settings and as packs. I have worked with puppies/kittens, senior and special needs pets. I am looking forward to meeting you and your four legged friends!!
Marcus G.	Hi there! I'm your token Australian New Yorker which seems to be becoming more and more common! I've owned two Labradoodles along with a few other pets living on a farm growing up (Horses, chickens, peacocks, guinea fowl the list goes on!). I love all animals and tend to be the person interrupting people on walks to ask for a pat since I've moved away from my family dog. I have experience with all types of furry friends, with friends and family having all different breeds. life outside dog walking is mostly socialising, enjoying time with my wife and enjoying sport.
Leticia T.	Hi! I'm Leticia and I'm a lover of pets, especially dogs. All breeds and sizes are special to me, and I care for them with compassion and empathy.
Katelyn F.	Hi! I’m Kate — a dependable and attentive pet caregiver based in the NYC area. I’ve spent over 8 years in customer-facing roles where reliability, communication, and trust are everything — and I bring that same level of care and professionalism to looking after your pets. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic puppies who need structured walks to older pets who require patience and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, reinforcing training routines, and providing detailed updates so you always feel at ease while you’re away. For dog walking, I prioritize safety, structure, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to leash behavior, surroundings, and each dog’s unique energy level. For cat sitting, I understand that every cat has their own personality — whether they want playtime and attention or a calm, quiet presence. You can expect: • Clear, consistent communication • Photo and video updates • Punctuality and reliability • Respect for your home • Genuine affection for your pets I treat every animal as if they were my own and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member!
Kimora P.	Hi! I’m Kimora Pierre, and I’ve loved working with dogs for years—both in professional settings and at home. I’ve cared for a variety of dogs, walking, feeding, and making sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. Outside of dog walking, I’m a second‑year Criminal Justice student, and I enjoy staying active, exploring the city, and volunteering in my community. I’m reliable, calm under pressure, and passionate about giving every dog a safe, happy, and fun experience.
McKayla T.	Hi! I’m McKayla! In the past 4 years, I have cared for a few dogs, a couple of pit bulls, a jack russel and a mastiff, in my family or for family friends. I love the joy dogs bring to the lives of those around them which inspired me to start dog walking! Outside of that, I’m an undergraduate student on a gap semester studying Forensic Psychology and an afterschool preschool teacher. My empathetic and compassionate personality leads me to work in areas where I care for others. I’m excited to utilize my skill set caring for your fur babies!
Noëlle Marie Z.	Hi! I’m Noëlle. I’ve spent years around dogs and cats of all sizes and ages —from energetic puppies to sweet seniors—through hands-on experience with dog walking, pet sitting, and helping care for animals in different settings. While I’ve never had a pet of my own, I’ve been trusted time and again to look after others’ beloved companions, and it’s become something I genuinely love doing whenever I have the chance. I’m here to give your pets the care and attention they need, when they need it. I’m patient, observant, and committed to understanding each pet’s unique personality, routine, and preferences. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle break, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. And of course, I’m happy to send as many photo updates as you’d like! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!
Carissa H.	Hi! My name is Carissa, and I'm a freelance artist, avid gamer, and lifelong animal lover! As a Long Island native, moving to Brooklyn and being a dog walker has been a dream come true. Nothing recharges the creative batteries like stretching my legs, getting some fresh air, and spending time with dogs; my own little one included. Samwise, my throwback (dire) pomeranian, has been at my side for four years. The animal companion to my ranger, he's as keen, loyal, and stout-hearted as his namesake. He, and all the wonderful dogs that were part of my life growing up, have taught me that they're so much more than pets-- they're family. The epitome of unconditional love, they are deeply empathetic and ever true; deserving nothing short of our very best. As a walker, I strive to provide just that!

Dasha S.	Hi! My name is Dasha — I’m a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog walker. I worked and volunteered in veterinary clinics and animal shelters, where I took care of cats, dogs, and especially senior pets who needed extra attention. I’m calm, responsible, and patient — I always try to understand each dog’s personality and make every walk safe, fun, and relaxing. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, exploring parks, and creating small happy moments for the dogs I care for. In addition to walks, I can provide gentle basic training, help socialize shy pets, and send photo updates so owners can see how much fun their dogs are having!
