Welcome to our website! We are a group of experienced Manhattan, New York dog walkers who have been working professionally with dogs and other pets for over 10 years. We own and love pets ourselves, and we take great pride in providing the same reliable, loving and thoughtful care to your pets that we do to our own. We all grew up with pets, and in the past we have worked in other pet-centric environments such as pet stores and kennels. We are members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS). We take the care of your pet very seriously by staying on the forefront of animal behavior research. If your pet has behavior problems, we can help you to resolve them. If your pet is a recent addition to your life, we can help you by recommending groomers, veterinarians, and other pet-related services you may need. See what groomers, vets and satisfied clients say about us in the "Testimonials" section. Read all about the services we can provide your pet in the "What We Do" section. And be sure to look at all the adorable pictures of "The Pack." Please call or email us to discuss how we can help you with the care of your pet... we'd love to hear from you!  "To Whom It May Concern, I take this opportunity to recommend Martina for pet-care, encompassing pet sitting and responsible dog-walking. Animals exhibit a special affinity for Martina and vice-versa. It is important that a positive and strong emotional bond develop between a pet and the care-giver. Martina exhibits and promotes this quality in exemplary fashion. She is always on the alert to identify potential health concerns and bring them to the attention of the pet's owner." —Frederick Tierney, D.V.M. "The only dog walker our store recommends is Martina. She has earned it with her hard work, reliability, responsibility, honesty and love for the animals." —Reme Soane of Reme's Oggi Pets "Martina has been walking our dog Blue for quite some time now. We are thrilled with her service. Blue goes crazy with happiness every time Martina comes to pick her up. Martina is extremely reliable and flexible and Blue gets a great workout. She obviously loves her work and adores animals. Blue plans on being a client for a long, long time." —Laurie Bliss   (Blue's Mom) "Martina is a wonderful person — very dedicated to and loved by all her dogs. I started using Martina for my Teddy two days after I brought him home as a young puppy. She has been a tremendous help to me as I have learned how to enjoy my life with my dog. In addition to being very hard working, dependable and reliable, I trust her more than anybody else with my dog. She is always aware of his health, safety and happiness. Your dog couldn't ask for anyone better than Martina." — Teddy's Mom "My bull terrier Barah depends on Martina for her life. When she was in labor I felt like Barah was missing her leader. I called Martina in the middle of the night to help me. She arrived within minutes and didn't disapoint us. Together we brought seven healthy puppies into the world!" — Barah's Mom Whatever your pet needs, we've got it covered. We'll talk to you about his or her requirements and figure out how we can fulfill them.    Our rates depend on the time and services required. Contact us to discuss. Dog Walking: The basics - we'll take your dog in a group, or by him/herself if they don't get along with others. If you approve, we'll take them to the local dog runs or Central Park, to play off-leash. Boarding:  Going away? Never fear, we'll care for your pet in our homes. This isn't just for dogs — we also sit for cats, birds, and reptiles. In-Home Pet Sitting:  Your pet's a homebody? If you prefer, we'll stay in your home with your pet while you're away.
