I’ve owned a pure breed cocker spaniel for 18 years her name was Lady from the Disney movie Lady and the tramp. I now own a 5 year old toy poodle Jupi :-) she is my world. I’ve worked in two animal hospitals and interned at another I always wanted to help animals. My best friend owns three pit bulls that she’s had since puppies and I watch, walk, feed and play with them while she goes away on vacation. I am very family oriented, down to earth free spirit animal myself! ☺️:-)

Dora R.	Hi my name is Dora. I have grown up around dogs my whole life. From the age of 4 to 16 I had a Shih Tzu named Misty. I currently have an 8 year old Pekapoo. Many family members of mine have always had dogs from Shih Tzu's, Yorkie's, Pitbulls, and more. I have walked dogs as a living. I've walked dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoying their walk or play time and even meal time. I love being around animals more than anything and I look forward to getting to know you and your pets.
Emely F.	Hi my name is Emely, born & raised in the big apple. I’m a dog mom of 2, Tokya female mixed Russell terrier & Rocky male Siberian husky. Outside of this, i do photography & videography. On my free time, i care & love for my babies so it’s always a pleasure to share that same comfort for other friend pups & more pets! I grew my experience with self knowledge due to having many pets & different breeds during my time of pet sitting while friends are away & they would recommend me to their friend etc. & myself since a child who had pets from reptiles, cats, dogs you name it!! This is more than a job, it’s a passion made with respect!!
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.
Liam L.	Hi my name is Liam and i’ve been a dog walker for 4 years now, not only in New York but in Argentina as well. I have dogs and cats all my life. I absolutely love walking, and taking care of dogs, they are just so fascinating to me and fun. My first dog was a labrador when i was kid, he sadly isn’t with us anymore, but now our new member of the family is a beautiful little poodle named Leona. I will 100% commit to your dogs and make them have the funnest and safest walk’s possible
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.
Susannah V.	Hi my name is Susannah. I am a cheerful and positive person. I love animals especially cats and dogs. I have experience with both cats and dogs. I myself have both cats and a dog at home! I am also experienced with giving meds. I hope I get a chance to meet you and your dog.
Anna H.	Hi there! I may be new to New York but I'm not new to spoiling your pet. Dogs have been part of my life since birth and I can't imagine life without them. Outside of the three dogs I've owned, I've also foster for my local shelters. Currently, I've fostered 14 cats and dogs over the last year and half. Luckily, all of them found homes as soon as they were ready to leave my home. I have taken care of bottle-fed puppies, nursing mothers, tempermental dogs, and senior dogs. I can administer medication, do basic training and crate train as well. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!
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!!
Gabriella A.	Hi there! I'm Gabi, a recent graduate of The New School, and for over a decade, I've been happily taking care of dogs and cats, both my own and others'. From walking pups to looking after them overnight, I've pretty much done it all. Whether it's fostering furry friends or just giving them a good stroll, I never get tired of it! I can't wait to meet your furry baby and enjoying some quality time with them!
Heather M.	Hi! My name is Heather. I have 4 cats of my own. I have been a pet sitter since 2021. Each visit with a pet brings me joy. I love the job and am grateful to be able to do it. I specialize in cat visits and have even been referred to by a client as a "cat whisperer".
Kiana A.	Hi! For as long as I can remember, I've been around dogs. I currently have two dogs, a 12 year old poodle and an 8 year old Chi-poodle, who are the absolute loves of my life. Being with my dogs, and any dog in general, makes me instantly happy. I hope to make every dog I meet feel just as happy as they make me! I spend my free time completing classes and taking strolls through Riverside with my own two boys.
Elizabeth F.	Hi! I'm Liz, a mom to a preschooler and an elementary-aged kid, and I am a lifelong dog lover. My family and I have owned Airedale terriers and several rescue dogs too, including a large "Benji" lookalike and a pit bull/shepherd mix. I also work in a part-time marketing and office admin job. I enjoy freelance writing and singing, and I love my time with the pups to get in as many doggie cuddles as possible!
Brenda W.	Hi! I’m Brenda and I’ve been working in this industry for a couple years now but this isn’t the first time I’ve worked with fur babies. I have had doggies myself in the past but as of now I have my 2 beautiful cats Orion and Vega who are siblings and the sweetest bunny you’ll ever meet Trinity. When I’m not working I love spending time with my 2 boys Jackson and Colton and of course my fur babies. I live in Huntersville but grew up in the suburbs in Illinois. I love being this close to the mountains and the ocean so you get the best of both worlds
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!
Caroline R.	Hi! My name is Caroline and I’m a recent graduate from University of Tennessee! I have one dog, she’s a Dutch shepherd mix named Willow! She’s very silly! I’m currently working on getting in and going to grad school!
