Caring for your dog in New York City

NYC-specific tips every dog owner should know

Winter paw protection

Sidewalk salt and ice-melt chemicals can irritate and crack your dog's paws. Rinse paws after every winter walk, and consider dog booties for extended outings.

Summer sidewalk heat

Concrete and asphalt absorb heat fast. If you can't hold your palm on the pavement for 5 seconds, it's too hot for paws. Walk early morning or after sunset.

Apartment noise training

Sirens, construction, and street noise can stress dogs in NYC apartments. Gradual desensitization and white noise machines help anxious pups settle in.

Small-space exercise

Most NYC dogs live in apartments. Supplement walks with indoor play, puzzle toys, and regular trips to off-leash parks to keep energy levels balanced.

No kennels, ever

Your dog stays in a real home with a real person. We believe dogs deserve comfort, familiar routines, and one-on-one attention - not concrete floors and barking echoes.

Dog sitting in New York City

New York City is home to over a million dogs, making it one of the most dog-dense cities in the world. From tiny apartments in Midtown to brownstones in Brooklyn, dogs are part of the fabric of this city. But finding someone you trust to care for your dog while you travel, commute, or just need an extra hand is not always simple.

Petme connects NYC dog owners with local sitters who open their homes for overnight stays, daily walks, and drop-in visits. Every sitter builds a profile with real photos, breed experience, and reviews from other dog owners in the community.
