Dog Walkers in Apalachin, NY

“I was nervous to allow a stranger with my dogs, but needed the help. Crystal did great and remained in contact with me which made it all the better! We will continue to book weekly with her!”

“Shannon was great with our two dogs! She's very friendly and has excellent communication as well! Will definitely rebook!”

“Maria is the best! She is always willing to accommodate and work my requested schedules. She loves my two energetic Corgis, Jodie and Whiskey and they love her as well. 100% recommend Maria.”

“The best ! Replies fast & is truly reliable. Will be considering her to walk Kori again !”

“Jenna pet sat for us last month and she did an excellent job! She was very easy to talk with and replied to our text messages in a timely fashion. She listened carefully to our instructions and concerns during our meet and greet. Even though one of our dogs was not particularly welcoming, Jenna patiently gained her trust. She arrived on time for the actual pet sitting day and sent us photos of our dogs having a good, relaxing time together. We came home to two happy dogs! We will DEFINITELY reach out to Jenna for our next pet sitting need! She is responsible and caring.”

About: I have 1 year of paid pet sitting/dog walking experience but I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! I have good experience with dogs with special needs including a blind cockapoo that I care for myself. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages from 8 weeks to 12 years old. I’ve even had to dog walk a dog that was being trained for an emotional support dog. Even though I’ve had paid experience with only dogs so far; I’m an owner to three cats and have experience with smaller critters like hamsters, rabbits, Guinea pigs and even birds! Your pets will be in the best care when you’re away and I’m quick to learn any needs that your pets require to make sure your pets are happy and healthy the whole time you’re gone! I’m currently working part-time so I can easily work around my schedule to make sure your pets get the best care! My work is also flexible with any availability changes so I can change my availability to match the times you need me! When dog walking, I love to take the dogs to the nearest park so they can explore and get some of that puppy energy out! Just let me know ahead of time if you need me to bring a longer lead for those park days since I never let any dogs off a leash! For house sitting, I make sure to follow any special instructions regarding your pets and make sure they get lots of play time! Lack of stimulation can lead to dogs being destructive so I try to invest as much playtime as I can depending on the energy level of your pup!

“April is very knowledgeable and communicative. She takes amazing photos. My pup can be skiddish with new people but she is very patient. I was very happy with her and hope to book again in the future.”

“If there’s one thing about Vincent, it’s that he’s passionate about his pets. He’s gentle, does his research, and cares for his babies like no one else i know. I know you can trust him to be a good sitter because I’ve trusted him countless times myself!”

“My handsome Stubborn boy needed only one meet & greet. The 1st day of his walking, he lead her to his leash. Day 2, he whined, loudly for her! Bridget truly is amazing and full of knowledge!”

“Hannah stepped in at the last minute to walk Penny when I needed to leave town and couldn't board her. She was super-personable and also wonderful with Penny, who isn't always easy to handle. She was punctual and responsive, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who needs a walker.”

A little about me: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I worked at my grandparents boarding kennel for years. As I have gotten older, I have worked at Shelters, Doggy Daycares, and Boarding Facilities! As well as this I have walked dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to cane corsos, etc. I am also experienced with trimming nails and giving baths & blowouts. I know basic dog obedience training and enrichment exercises, and I understand dog behavior. I have raised puppies and have also trained puppies! As well as this I have experience giving all types of medications from eye drops to large or small pills to ointment, etc. I am very experienced with walking dogs of all sizes, I will work on any existing training that you are working on if needed as well. And don't worry you will receive TONS of pictures from our walks. I can guarantee your pup will be worn out and happy when they come home! For most services we will go on snifari walks! These are basically walks where I will throw treats down while on leash and they will go and find them! It is a great way to make the walk even more fun! Furthermore, I do have my associates in business management! It has always been my goal to eventually build from the ground up my own dog boarding and daycare facility! As well as this I am more then just cat and dog experienced! I also have experience caring for bunnies, hamsters, mice, rats, fish, chickens, chinchillas and guinea pigs! Lastly, growing up I also rode horses for 16 years! Overall, no matter if you have more then dogs and cats I can care for them all! ~~ Walks: - $25 a walk -- Holiday Rate: $35 a walk - 30 minute walk -- +$10 for full hour - I only charge +$10 extra for each additional pet.

You want to make sure they have adequate experience and knowledge to work for you and your pets. When you choose me as your pet care provider, you don’t have to worry about anything becoming dirty, stained, broken or anything else along these lines. I will always remain only in the approved rooms of the house, and I will never go anywhere outside of those boundaries. I will be with your pet 24/7 and you will always receive updates!! Though, I can guarantee that I will not stain, damage, or break anything, etc. I CANNOT guarantee that your pet will not chew something, or break something if you do not have me crate them overnight, or if I am away. It is very common that pets become more anxious and sad when their owners leave, even if they are in their own home. I do my absolute 100% best to comfort them in every way possible but when they are alone, they may do behaviors they don't usually do especially with a new person. ~~

“Ryan has taken care of our 4 babies for the last 3 years when we are away. They love her!! Very trustworthy and dependable Highly recommended!”

“Chanelle is a very trustworthy person, I have known her for 15+ years! She has watched my 2 small dogs a few times now for a week at a time plus. She was willing to learn their feeding & exercise schedule and like most people she shares the same respect of knowing pets are like children and shows nothing but love and care!”

“Eileen Watched Barton for a week. She was very timely in walking him. I appreciate her flexibility in her schedule to walk him. I liked the pictures that captured his walk. He was really happy with her. I will use her services again. J”

“Hilary is one of the most caring and giving dog owners I know. Always putting in consideration of the dogs needs and wants. I would say if Hilary were to dog sit, it would be like spending a day at a retreat & spa for the dog. She knows the fine line between being so caring, giving, loving while also giving disciplinary lessons.”

“Alexis takes such good care of our 2 girls!!! It is obvious that she adores dogs. She treats our dogs as if they are her own and sends pics and videos to us when we are away! We are so glad we found her!!!”

About: I will love and take care of your dogs as if they were my own! They will get all the love and care they will possibly need while you’re away. I’ve been pet sitting for 4 years now! It’s my favorite thing to do. I know how it feels having to leave a pet and i love to give people peace of mind knowing they’re being taken care of as much as you would yourself. I have 3 dogs of my own. With that being said, having my own dogs i am not able to do overnights unfortunately! I can do drop in visits and dog walking! You won’t be disappointed with leaving you pets with me! thank you in advance and i hope to hear from you soon! I dog walk and pet sit full time so all of my time and attention will be to caring for your fur babies!! With 6 years of experience there is nothing i enjoy more than what i do!! I come to your home and take care of your pet exactly how you would take care of your pet. It’s important to keep a schedule and routine for your pet, especially when you have to leave them. That’s my main goal!

“Literally the best. Super flexible, could work with my crazy hours. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have had animals all my life and love being with and around them! I currently have two dogs who are my babies. I am a very active person who likes to go for walks/runs and goes to the gym often. Because of this I am more than comfortable taking care of all dog breeds and sizes. I currently work from home and am able to flex my schedule to fit your needs! I am able to do week days, nights and weekends. I love to be active so taking your dogs for walks will be no problem! I also like to run so if your dog has some extra energy I can take them for a run as well!
