Dog Walking in Auburn

About: I have been taking care of dogs since 2008 when my neighbors moved in and allowed me to meet their new puppy. As he grew up I was included in a lot of his daily routine from feeding breakfast and dinner, to taking walks after school/work, and cleaning up the yard as he used the restroom, helping him recoup after getting all his puppy shots, adult shots, and neutered. They also included me in his training of basic obedience and allowed me to work with him and cuddle with anytime they were free and I shot them a text to see if I could come over. They then got a second dog and I was older at that time and so my involvement far more this time as I was older and already had an understanding of what was expected. I helped with potty training both dogs, their general obedience, walking them and cleaning the yard as they used the potty. I also was their caretaker when my neighbors went on vacation or had to work later at the office. Everyday after school like clockwork I’d head over let the boys out, make them an enrichment snack if they’d finished the one the got before the owners left, work on some obedience and walk them if necessary and play with them and cuddle them until mom and dad came home. I took care of these dogs from 2008-2017 when they moved away! Then my new neighbors also decided to add some canine companions when they had settled in. I was asked by them if I’d work on basic obedience with their female dog. Which could’ve not been more perfect timing as I was working towards getting my certification to be a dog trainer! So they allowed me to use her to get my certification and we worked together and learned a lot of basic obedience cues, as well as relaxation protocols for dogs that may be anxious or a little scared in new environments. She helped teach me to read dog body language and use that knowledge communicate effectively with dogs when asking them for any type of cue. So now I am a certified positive method trainer, I have experience in potty training as well. I have experience in giving oral medications and feeding complex diets for dogs who have allergies. Hello pet parents! I currently work part time as a result I have quite a bit of open time to take care of and spend with your furry family members! Please message me with any questions regarding availability as even if I have the day marked off as “unavailable” I have will have some limited availability prior to and post work days to take care of your furry family members! Whether it’s for a walk once a day/week, walks for multiple times a week/day or a drop in for a little bit of cuddles and for play time I would be so honored to spend time and play with your pet and give them enrichment and cuddles they deserve! In my home my cats are absolutely spoiled. Multiple cats trees. Big Victorian screened in windows. At least 20 or more cats toys. Most of the toys are big on engaging the mind and recreating instincts they would use in the wild as well as creating mental stimulation. The toys are also tailored to each cat but we all know cats do as they please so I’ve learned to buy multiples of the toys that all the cats seem to love! Following the rules of litter pans and filing them with proper litter and cleaning them in a timely manner! I also provide top quality food with correct feeding proportions and I do give them treats in a controlled way as well!

I had my golden retriever Jake, for 15 years, and I currently have a cat named Lulu who is 9 years old. I have previous experience in working with both cats and dogs who have required care.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.

“Victoria was excellent with our dog, Holly! She was incredibly responsive and helped us out on short notice. We would highly recommend her and would book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play, clean, and take care of their pets while away from home. With my experience and passion for animals, I would take care of your animals as I would my own. I currently work full-time, but have plenty of available time in the mornings and after work. My weekdays have plenty of time available for check-ins and walks. The safety of your pet is my number one priority. For dogs, I tend to avoid other dogs on walks unless you point out to me any dogs you know that it's ok for your dog to greet and interact with. I would rather your dog be safe than hurt. For cats, I make sure they are always kept inside (unless instructed otherwise with a catio or other) and are away from harms way.

About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.

“Debbie was a kind and considerate companion to our fearful little dog. Our dog is scared of new people and over the course of just few visits, our dog warmed up to Debbie. Debbie respected Bear’s boundaries and earn her trust in no time. We can’t thank you enough, Debbie!!!”

During weekdays, I prioritize early morning walks and playtime before work, ensuring they start the day with positive energy. I've strategically structured my evenings around quality time with the dogs, focusing on exercise and interaction. On weekends, I offer extended care and undivided attention, making it the perfect opportunity for boarding and a truly immersive experience. My commitment to their well-being and my ability to provide attentive care during the weekends guarantees that your dogs will receive the utmost attention.

I'm fortunate to have access to a nearby dog park within my apartment complex, where dogs can socialize, play fetch, and enjoy outdoor activities. Additionally, I'm conveniently located near various walking and hiking trails, which offer stimulating adventures for energetic dogs to explore nature. For those preferring a more relaxed setting, there's a spacious greenspace near my apartment, ideal for leisurely strolls and lounging in the sun. Regardless of the service, whether it's boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, my goal is to create a tailored experience that aligns with each pet's individual needs and preferences, making their time with me both enjoyable and fulfilling.

I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF.

However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.
