About Sierra

5 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hi! My name is Sierra, I am 19 years old and am currently enrolled at Pace University in Downtown Manhattan getting my bachelor's degree. I have loved dogs my whole life and have been dog sitting for family and friends since I can remember. Being at school and seeing all of the dogs in the city has really made me miss having a dog in my life. I truly enjoy taking dogs on long walks helping them get fresh air and some exercise for the day. Also playing with them and keeping them entertained is something that has always been so fun for me. If I was to dog sit for your pet I would make sure to give them my full attention and energy, as well as following any instructions that you may have for me!

A home away from home for your fur baby in the Financial District of Manhattan! My name is Natalie and I am so excited to meet and care for your pet, making sure they feel safe and well cuddled while they are here. I have been living in NYC for almost four years and seeing all the wonderful dogs on the street make me miss having dogs around me at home.

About Justyna

20 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
My name is Justyna.

I am an animal lover and life long pet owner. I grew up on a farm, caring for a variety of animals - large and small, scaly and fluffy which instilled my love for animals at a young age. Presently I am a mommy to two very smart Yorkies Miko and Kirby, who I love to pieces!

My love for dogs made me center my career around animal care. I am a certified in Dog Trainer Foundation at Karen Pryor Academy for Dog Training & Behavior and I am Trained and Certified in Pet CPR, First Aid & Care. Besides, I am a volunteer at Animal Care Center of NYC and a Professional Members of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers, so I am regularly caring for companion animals and constantly educating myself in canine behavior, body language, and modern and positive training methods.

Do you want to have a peace of mind that your furry baby has best care possible? Don't look further! I will guarantee that I will provide them with same level of love and professional care that I would expect to be given to my own pets!

Your dog needs a walk I am here for you and your dog! I will make sure he will have a plenty of exercise. A tired dog is a good dog and happy owner. I offer semiprivate dog walks in the areas of your preference, usually within your neighborhood. I understand that every dog has different needs, so the duration of the walk, the distance, and the pace and type of the exercise will vary to suit each client. You will no longer have to stress about having a busy schedule.

You will receive updates on your dog after each service, including pictures of pets.
I can also administer medications and will follow any requests that you may have in regards to properly care for her/him.

Currently, I provide dog walking services in Downtown, Manhattan area, FiDi and Battery Park.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
I look forward to meeting with you and your dog.

Justyna is wonderful! This was the first time we went through DogVaCay. We were blessed to find Justyna. She stayed at our home and took care of our pets.

To leave our little crew of rescued animals (7 dogs, 2 cats and 1 fish) was not easy and the thought created a lot of anxiety for me. Our pets are a mix of special needs. Justyna came over two times before we left for the week. She wrote down notes, went through routines and spent time with our pets. I knew we made the right choice because all of our pets welcomed her. Even our cats came right up to her for some attention. They rarely do that with new visitors.

Every evening we received an update of everyones' day and pictures. We enjoyed these updates and they allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We actually joked around that our crew was in no rush for our return.

Justyna gave our dogs spa days, trimmed nails, brushed them and administered insulin shots to Tyson our cat. They had playtime, nap time and lots of petting time. Her two dogs Miko and Kirby stayed at our house too. They fit right in and our pets enjoyed playing with them.

It is great to know that we can make plans and know that all of our pets will be loved and cared for by Justyna.

We are truly blessed to have such a fantastic dog sitter and we absolutely love having Justyna as part of our family.

About Hillary

5 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
Hello! My name is Hillary and I moved to NYC last year from the Midwest! I absolutely adore this city, but I deeply miss my family's animals back home. From a young age I have grown up with both dogs and cats, and truly believe they are not just a pet, but rather a family member, and your pet will be treated like one as well. I currently work part-time outside of my home, but this will most likely turn full-time sometime during May. My roommate, Mackenzie, also is an animal lover. We love dogs so much that we even carry treats in our purses for any friendly dogs we meet on the street! She is home often because her office is here, but she travels often. I live in a very animal-friendly apartment in a safe neighborhood downtown - a perfect location for a walk by the water! You can expect your dog to have fun, be outside, be comfortable and safe, and of course...experience a LOT of attention and love while you're away. Please let me know if you have any questions!

About Valeria

30 Years Experience Caring For Dogs
I am a dog lover, an experienced pet owner and I have cared for many dogs in my life. My home can be your dog's second home during your time away from New York. I am a journalist and I work from home. My family and my 2 dogs are in Italy. I miss them terribly and I want dogs in my life. I will treat them as a member of my family, giving them my full attention, at least 3 walks/runs, great care and a lot of affection.
You will be able to relax, knowing that your dog is in a loving and safe place. I will be happy to be in contact with you via texts, emails, phone, facetime, so you can feel closer to your best friend.

I grew up having dogs. When I was 4, I got my first one, a giant Schnauzer called Maya, who grew up with me as a sister. Then I had her son Nero; at the same time, I saved from the street another little dog (Piccirillo). I had a German Shepherd (Ricky) and a wonderful Weimaraner (Junior). I recently adopted an adult cane corso (Nikita), saving her from a kennel. And my family in Italy got another Weimaraner pup, Teo. They are inseparable, so I cannot bring Nikita with me and they both live in Italy. They play all day long.
I miss my dogs very much. The unconditional love that a dog gives you doesn't compare with anything else.
