Dog Walkers in Aquetuck, NY

About: If your dog is a rescue who's still figuring out the world, or just a creature of habit who thrives on routine — that's exactly who I do this for. I work from home, so I'm able to follow their schedule: same walks, same feeding times, same special treats. The only thing different about your dog's week is which human is holding the leash (and cuddling on the couch). Send me a message to set up a meet-and-greet — I'd love to hear all about your pet. Working from home means your dog has company during the day, not just a check-in at mealtimes. I build my schedule around the pets I'm caring for, so your dog's feeding times, walks, and favorite spots on the couch all stay as consistent as possible. The goal is for your dog to feel like not much has changed. When we're outside, your dog has my full attention. I skip dog parks to avoid the risks of unpredictable dogs, illness, or overstimulation. I only care for dogs from one household at a time, so your dog always gets my undivided focus. During the warmer months, I stay on top of tick checks and heat management to keep your dog safe and comfortable. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and I closely monitor food intake and potty patterns so I can flag anything unusual.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. We have a 2 year old golden puppy who is treated as if she’s part of the family. She is soo loved and so spoiled. I also worked at a groomers shop so I have a lot of experience with different dogs. I am currently working part time and attending short days at college four days a week. I have a lot of free time though and especially on my weekends I have a lot of time At home my dog has a perimeter collar so she is free to wander about our yard as she wishes. When I am dog sitting I always have the dog on a leash and I stay outside with them the entire time they are outside

About: I have always had pets in the house. I am also a veterinarian technician working in a clinic setting. All I do is care for animals. I work full time but it’s only 4 days a week . I’m available nights and at least three day in the week. I always open to just stopping in to let pets out too I have a 2 dogs of my own who are very socialized and love to play with other dogs. I also have a pretty big fenced in yard for all furry friends to play in.

“Was in a last minute mind and Laura came to the rescue. She took the best care of my babies. Fully kept me updated how they dogs were doing and sent pictures. The dogs had a great time with Laura! I was so relieved to see how happy they were in all the photos. When I got home they were very calm and relaxing. They got a lot of exercise! Would highly recommend Laura!”

About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbors, and friend’s animals of all kinds for years. I enjoy offering them training tips as I have experience from my own dogs and spending time with their pets. I’m currently a college students and have a variety of hours in between and before class during the week and am available on the weekends. I maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and my family currently has three dogs and two cats. I love taking care and spending time with them! They all get along well and enjoy time in a fenced in backyard.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.

“Elishamaria was wonderful. She was very friendly, communicative and professional. She made our dog Butters feel very comfortable and happy. We were able to enjoy a little time to ourselves in Hudson. We would definitely book her again the next time we’re in town!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Sarah was wonderful! She was able to help us out last minute this morning after a last minute work schedule change and being new to town we didn't have a support system established yet. We are very appreciative of her support and attentiveness with our girl :)”

About: Growing up with dogs and taking care of the neighborhood dogs I'm no stranger to the amount of attention a fur baby needs. With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority. It is important to me that your fur baby and I can create a relationship where they look forward to my visits. Every animal builds trust differently and there's no rush

About: My husband and I have a dog named Jax, he just turned 7 and is such a goofball. We have taken care of dogs for a long time now and Jax loves having friends over! Sean works from home so we are able to give your dog plenty of breaks. Our day normally consists of 2 good walks morning and night, an afternoon quick walk and potty breaks in between! We live in an apartment along Washington Square Park, so we walk the park every day! We try on days off to find trails around to get out as well!

About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.
