Real Time Updates

You will receive an update with photos as soon as your dog walk or cat visit is completed. Instead of waiting around all day to find out how your dog's walk went, you will have a direct line of communication with walkers and management through our convenient online system.

This is great for them, and for you! Our walkers are carefully selected, background checked, and extensively trained in dog handling and cat care.

If you set a regular schedule, you will have a regular walker and a backup walker in the event your regular walker is sick. We think it's super important for dogs to have regularity!

Reliable

Dogs love to socialize! We walk small groups of three or less depending on your dog's individual needs. We always take care to match dogs with similar temperaments. We will work closely with you to provide services that meet your dog's needs. We provide private walks for a small extra fee.

OUR REVIEWS

What People Say

Bark & Bone is just the best, best, best. It came so highly recommended from a dear friend and fellow dog owner that it was the only service I considered for our dog's midday walks. They are so responsive, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, and organized. I love getting thoughtful, consistent updates about how the walk went and even pictures of our girl to get me through my work day. Their online portal is a dream: user-friendly even for me, a total tech dummy. I recommend them highly and with no reservations.

Bark & Bone is just wonderful! You know they're true dog lovers. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you and your doggo's needs are met. They're soooo nice and flexible and on top of their game. Totally on schedule and they never forget to send me updates and sweet pics of my Ripple girl. I know she's always taken great care of when we're away! Thanks so much to the whole B&B staff for all you do for our Astoria pet community!! XO Emily, Rich & Ripple

What People Say

I can't tell you how happy I am with Olivia and the rest of the Bark & Bone team. I have had some terrible cat sitting experiences and was desperate for someone I could trust. Olivia is professional, sweet, very communicative, and sends long, thoughtful notes (with pictures!) about each visit. The online booking system makes requesting visits very easy and efficient. I am so happy to have found Bark & Bone to watch over my baby when I'm gone. I know I can depend on them completely.

Get Started

Before you can begin services, we will meet with you and your pet for a short meet and greet in your home.

During the meet and greet, we will meet your pet, set up your account on our online system, make sure your home and buddy's walking gear are safe, and address any questions you may have. You must have a copy of your keys ready on the day of meet and greet to avoid a pickup charge.

Unfortunately due to our current staffing and existing clientele we are not accepting new Cat Sitting clients at this time.
