Hi! Im Julia and im an NYC based dog walker petsitter. I am lucky that my full-time job is flexible enough to allow me to pop out for walks with pups all around the city. I love bringing dogs to the dog park when I petsit - or on hikes If I’ able. I believe they should get exercise every day! Hoping to meet your pup soon.See Profile

Hi there! My name is Maddy Smith - I am a NYC-based writer, comedian, and animal lover! I grew up with both cats and dogs in my upstate-NY home, interned on a farm after college, and now currently care for other's pets due to a random schedule and travels (show-business!) that prevent me from providing adequate care for a pup of my own. I live in Astoria, Queens, where I've spent most of my time caring for animals but am available to head to any neighborhood in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. You can expect from me strong communication, reliability, punctuality, and responsibility with your furry ones!See Profile
