Dog Walking Barnum Island

“Kenny and his wife were fantastic with my dog, Reese. It was our first time using a dog walker, and both of them were so helpful throughout. It meant a lot that Kenny took the time to ask about Reese and any special things he needed on the walk, and he always sent a proper report afterward so we were kept in the loop. Reese took to him right away and came home happy. I wouldn't recommend anyone over Kenny, and will continue using him in the future!”

“Our ten year old rather anxious wheaten terrier looked forward to and enjoyed his daily walks with Becky while we were away for a week. Becky is warm and professional, and very good about communicating. I would absolutely call on her again in the future and recommend her to others!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and with different needs since I was a teen. I’ve had two of my own :) I’m very active so love doing out door activities with them! I currently work remotely, so I have plenty of time to play with your furbaby’s! I am available to drop in for walks if you’re local, dog-sit, and board in my home. With a lot of love and as if they were my own. I have a yard but mainly love going on walks or hikes (depending on the dog). I work from home so I have a very flexible schedule and I don’t ever leave a pet alone more than 3 hrs at most I care for them as I do my own. My husband and I are usually home and if possible (depending on the furbaby) we always include the pups in any outdoor errand/activity

“I am very thankful for Karina’s availability to walk my dog twice a day on New Years’ Eve. She was very communicative throughout the whole day and fed my dog per my request. My doggy was very calm for the rest of the night and I think he really enjoyed the walks and time with Karina. She even brought in my package inside since it was raining! Thank you so much! I look forward to requesting Karina in the future when I have long events!”

About: I have been around dogs for most of my life, having owned two dogs from ages 6-20, and I have since gained hands-on experience caring for pets with a wide range of personalities, ages and needs. I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs, including caring for four cats and two dogs at once, managing litter boxes, wet and dry food routines, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering oral medications and eye drops to dogs. One experience especially that sets me apart is caring for a Catahoula Leopard dog who was paralyzed in her hind legs, which involved expressing her bladder and assisting with her mobility alongside caring for another dog in the home. I’m comfortable with puppies as well, having provided drop-in care for a golden retriever at both 3 months and 6 months old, as well as extended dog and house sitting for a 2-year old golden retriever. Across my pet-sitting experience, I’ve provided regular walks, baths, light grooming, feeding, playtime and lots of one-on-one attention. I understand every pet has their own routine, personality, and level of care, and I’m comfortable providing everything from my everyday companionship to more hands-on care for pets with special needs. My current schedule is very flexible, as I am studying full-time for the MCAT and create my own study schedule each week. I attend MCAT prep classes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings, but outside of those times, I can easily plan my studying around your pet’s needs. This gives me flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and extended care throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet owner to maintain the routine that works best for their pet! I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big responsibility. I have experience house sitting and pet sitting for many families, and I always treat each home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show my own. I carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding your pet’s routine, safety, feeding, medications, and household needs. My only request is to be shown where basic cleaning supplies are kept (accidents happen, and that’s completely normal!). I want you to come home to a space that is just as clean, if not cleaner, than when you left it, and most importantly, to a pet who has been safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I currently have a 6 year old dog and have been training and caring for him since he was 10 weeks old. He is a boxer/Shepard mix that we rescued from a shelter in Georgia. I also was a dog sitter/walker for my neighbor’s dog and have cared for my cousin’s dogs as well! Love all sizes, breeds, and ages! I work part-time 3-4x/ week babysitting, coaching, and as a medical assistant in an office. My schedule is pretty flexible especially in the mornings and late evenings. I have a six year old mutt Jameson. He is super active and I take him on walks 3x/ day and play with him in our yard. I am happy to exercise, play, feed, and care for dogs in whatever way is needed. I would be happy to care take of dogs in your house but will not be able to board them in my house because of Jameson.

About: I myself am a dog mom to a grumpy but loving 10 year old shih tzu. But my pet experience includes fishes, rodents and cats as well! I have walked and sat many other dogs from chihuahuas to poodles to huskies. I enjoy taking them on long walks and meeting other dogs on the way. I love bonding and playing with energetic pups but also down to relax with an older or tired dog. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Currently have a regular job with a few side gigs but can definitely walk, pet sit, administer medication or just check up on your furry friend if our schedules coincide! I provide updates upon arrival and of how said walk or hours of care where. Willing to share location when at your home to give you a peace of mind and send pictures/videos!

“Stella is always so happy to see Michael ! Always on time and able to handle her puppy energy. He even took her out on Thanksgiving in the rain since I am out of town. I am so glad to have him around when I have to go away for a while, it is always a pleasure working with him!”

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life. I have cared for dogs ranging from pit bulls to yorkies. I love all dogs, any size. I have taken care of dogs that require medication for medical issues like joint issues and epilepsy. Friends have relied on me to care for their animals. whenever they go away. I currently live with 3 dogs, a corgi, a husky, and a maltese. I walk my own dogs 2x a day and play with them every day. I work on weekends so weekdays are dedicated to pet care. I play and walk my pets. I have a backyard so I tend to run around with my dogs everyday. Each of my own dogs requires specific needs so I cater to them. One of my dogs has epilepsy so I must give him medication twice daily and he requires a lot of attention.

“Natalie and Dan were absolutely wonderful and truly went above and beyond while caring for my dog, Merlot. While I was away, they noticed she was having some accidents and immediately kept me informed and helped coordinate a switch to boarding so she would be more comfortable. Their communication and care gave me so much peace of mind. They were incredibly thoughtful and kind throughout the entire stay. They even went out of their way to pick up shampoo and give Merlot a bath, which was such a generous and unexpected gesture. Merlot was clearly very well cared for and loved while she was with them. It was such a pleasure having Natalie and Dan care for my dog, and I will absolutely be booking with them again in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, compassionate care.”

Have peace of mind that your fur baby is well cared by me for the time being. Animals love me and I love them. I promise that your cat or dog will be showered with love and attention when they’re in my care. I will make sure they get plenty of exercise if needed as well as ensure they are on their feeding schedules. Walks are my specialty and I love to get the dogs out for some fresh air and mental stimulation. It makes for better restful naps while they wait for your return home. My schedule is flexible and I am ready to put your fur baby on my calendar. Please contact me to check times and dates. I would love to work with you and your pet. I will care for your pet or pets in your home as directed by your goals and parameters. We will need your animals favorite food and treats as needed. Also a fenced in safe area to monitor.

About: Hi! I'm a wildlife biologist, and I've spent most of my life taking care of animals — in a veterinary setting, on wildlife conservation projects, and growing up in my own home with my family pets. I work as a full-time biologist during the spring/summer, and will have open availability over the fall, winter, and spring to help with your pet care needs! I started out as a kennel technician at a veterinary hospital, where my days were cleaning dog kennels and cat cages, feeding and watering, walking dogs, giving oral and topical medications, holding animals for exams, and keeping daily records on everyone in our care. This job is where I learned how to understand an animal’s body language, and how to adjust my own to make sure they feel safe. Since then I've graduated from university and have worked as a field biologist for state and federal agencies, most recently monitoring endangered shorebirds at Jones Beach State Park here on Long Island. Along the way I provided daily care and feeding for state-owned horses in Oregon, and I've handled, banded, and released wild birds across four different groups — songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and doves. If you have a bird and you get nervous about leaving them, let’s chat. I’d be happy to care for any feathered family members! At home I've kept lizards, snakes, birds, and aquariums of my own, so I'm comfortable with things like heat gradients and UVB, humidity, feeding schedules that aren't daily, and water parameters and filtration. What I offer: • Dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home • Cats, including shy ones and multi-cat households • Medication administration, oral and topical • Senior pets and pets with medical needs genuinely welcome • Birds, reptiles, and aquariums • Photos and a real update after every visit • CPR and First Aid certified I’m always happy to do a free meet-and-greet first. I'd love to meet you and your crew! Currently, I have open availability from 10 am - 9 pm 7 days a week for drop ins and walks. For overnight stays, I am available anytime with 1-2 days notice. Before the first visit I do a free meet-and-greet. I want to see where everything lives — food, leash, litter, carrier, cleaning supplies — and I write the routine down rather than trusting my memory: feeding times and amounts, medications, which treats are allowed, how your dog behaves on a walk, and anything that frightens them. I also want your vet's name and number and a backup contact before I'm ever in the house alone. The thing I'm most careful about is doors. I come and go deliberately, I know where every animal is before I open anything, and I never leave a door propped. Dogs stay leashed the entire time they're outside with me, with no off-leash exceptions unless you've asked for it specifically. I give Medication exactly as written, at the time you've specified, and I confirm each dose with you. I don't adjust a dose or skip one because an animal is being difficult — I'll message you instead. Following written protocols precisely is most of what my professional work has been, in a veterinary hospital and in the field, and I treat your instructions the same way. I pay attention and I report: appetite, water, litter box or bathroom habits, energy, and anything that looks off. If something seems wrong I'll contact you right away. If it looks like an emergency and I can't reach you, I'll get your pet to your vet or the nearest emergency clinic and keep calling. And I look after the house. I clean up after your pet and after myself, I keep your keys and door codes private, I don't bring anyone with me, and I leave the place better than I found it. You'll get photos and a short real update after every visit. I also welcome any feedback, as that helps me do a better job in the future!
