Meet the Team

We are exclusively experienced walkers that have been vetted to ensure the best service. All of our walkers are kind, caring and crazy about dogs. We also put our dog walkers through a training regimen to ensure they know how to deal with a wide range of behaviors and so they can prevent any problems from taking place during a walk.

    Meet Joey – The Heart Behind Dog Walking Queens

    Hi, I’m Joey Terranova—born and raised right here in Queens. I’m your go-to for wagging tails and stress-free walks. My mission is to bring reliability, joy, and a whole lotta personality to your pup’s daily routine. Dog Walking Queens is more than a job—it’s a way to connect with my community while doing what I love. Every pup I walk gets the same care I’d give my own (shoutout to my senior lab mix, Tina, the real CEO). I’ve spent years navigating the noisy streets, busy schedules, and unique needs of NYC dogs and their people.

    You can count on me for consistency, clear communication, and lots of head-scritches!

    Michelle’s journey with animal care started at a young age when she saw a badly injured cat sitting on her front doorstep repeatedly crying. She was too young to actively participate in its care, but it sparked a deep desire to care for animal wellbeing in any way she could. Her high school offered programs where she learned about large and small animal husbandry and she spent time taking care of the school’s exotic birds. She also volunteered at Animal Haven, an animal shelter where she took care of cats and dogs and promoted adoption.

    Michelle is excited to spend time with getting to know and care for all of your beautiful pets!
