Dog Walkers in Groton, NY

“Vanessa does a great job with Riley, who always looks forward to her walks with someone else than me, who lets her wander & sniff to her heart’s delight.”

“Ellie loves her outings with Nichole and I love knowing she is with someone I can trust to take care of her like she was her own pup! Nichole’s daughters are great with Ellie, too. :)”

“Georgia is wonderful and so great with my dog. Both times we've worked with her I've had to change up my plans at the last minute and she's been so kind and understanding.”

About: I grew up with big dogs and currently have an 11-year-old black lab mix. I know how to get a puppy to go outside, and I know how to stimulate a senior dog that can't go on long walks. I would love to meet your dog and make them as comfortable as they can be! Your dog will be spending a great deal of time with me and Brisco, as we're both home during the workday! We like to go on long walks in the middle of the day and hang out outside enjoying the sunshine. We have a great deal of space for the dog to walk around inside, and a fenced in backyard for them to explore. We also have access to a creek in the 14 acre Christmas tree farm behind our home, where they can go on long walks on a leash with us and Brisco!

“David is the kind of dog walker/ sitter you hope find. He is skilled and compassionate with the dogs. He has won over our pandemic pup in record time. He will be house/pet sitting for us Labor Day weekend and we feel good about leaving our dogs- and our house in his hands.”

“Jahaira was referred to me by a family friend and we can’t have better things to say about the care she gave to our 3 fur babies. We have used her many times, and the younger dog bounces with joy every time she comes over, and the attentive care she provides our older dog is bar none. While we would be away she would communicate continuously and send pictures nightly with the cat by her feet and the two dogs in their beds. I can’t say enough good things about the care she provides and only hope this doesn’t interfere with the weekends we need her.”

“Highly recommend Veronica! She answered my requests quickly and was able to work with my ever-changing schedule. She took exceptional care of my pup and was well equipped to deal with his reactivities! I will definitely use her again!!”

“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”

“We have known Stephanie Montero for seven years as a friend of our family. Stephanie took care of our home while we were away on a trip last year, a task that involved pet care, housecleaning, and watching our property. She performed the job responsibly and thoroughly, following the extensive set of directions we left her to the letter. Our pets are not easy to care for– the dog is elderly and needs daily medication, while our four cats range from a stubborn 15-year-old to a pair of energetic kittens. Stephanie took care of everything, staying in contact with us while we were away, sending us pictures of the safe-and-sound animals, and leaving the house as clean and well-kept as we had left it on our departure. We highly recommend Stephanie for any position of similar responsibility for which she might apply.”

“Great job with a shy dog. Got her to walk and play. Thank you, excellent job!”

“Alexandra is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog more than once and is very responsible. She will take care of your pet like it is hers. She is a very reliable and she will take great care of your pet(s).”

About: I have fed, walked, trained, groomed, and medicated family and friends' pets since I was 10 years old. I took a vet assistant course in highs school and have worked as a veterinary assistant and technician since 2020. I have my own small zoo at home made up of birds, mice, aquatics, a cat, and even some insects! I have a passion for animal welfare and am always doing research to provide my pets the best quality of life. I currently work full-time on weekdays but am available before 7AM after 4PM for quick drop-ins for things like potty breaks. My weekends are usually free starting on Friday evenings after 3PM. I am very careful to check my surroundings for anything that may cause harm to an animal or be an escape hazard. I make sure to ask pet owners about where their pet may require extra attention/supervision and their pets habits. I prefer to keep pets in their known surroundings to prevent further stress while pet sitting, but if needed, I may be able to care for certain animals in my own home. I have a cat, but she is well-behaved and NEVER alone with other animals, nor left in a situation in which she can harm or be harmed.

“I feel like I hit the jackpot with Sarah as my dog-walker! She has a flexible work schedule and she’s a runner! She sent me pictures of her walking and having fun playtime inside with my young dog and he slept like a baby after spending time with her! I will definitely be booking with her again! I highly recommend her!”

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“Absolutely wonderful to work with, and so good with my dog!”

“Ruth is a fabulous dog walker! She is knowledgeable about dogs and clearly cares about animals. She also pays attention to details and is conscientious, reliable, trustworthy, and responsible. I cannot recommend her more highly! :)”

“Dawn is definitely a dog lover. She was able to coax my anxious dog outside to walk and do his business. She is reliable and a good communicator. 5 stars!”

“Glenna was so helpful in walking our dogs midday while I was traveling. At our meet and greet she was great with our scared pup so I felt confident in her stopping in. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Thank you for you help with Chip and Jules.”

“Perscilla was awesome! Very flexible and trustworthy!”

“Justine has known and worked with our dogs for 5 years. We have trusted her to care for our three dogs while we were out of town for multiple days at a time. Each time we’ve come home with a clean house and happy healthy dogs. Justine also has walked our dogs multiple times giving them exercise picking up after them and bringing them home safe with a treat at the end.”
