Dog Walkers in Blakeley, NY

“An incredibly kind and compassionate human, who has a way with my beloved Westie, Charlie. It made our day to have met her and we can't wait to see her again for a walk or drop in visits this Fall.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I also volunteer at local shelters, which has helped me learn how to handle all kinds of dogs with different personalities. I’m really patient and pay attention to what each dog needs, so they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits really easily into my week since I’m currently out of school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can adjust to what your dog needs, whether that’s regular walks or last-minute help I basically treat your home and pet like my own. I follow your routine, make sure your pet gets everything they need, and spend time with them so they’re not stressed or lonely. I also keep you updated so you know how everything’s going.

“Jason has been walking my dog for a few weeks and very happy with his service. He's flexible and kind, and Beckett likes him which is Paramount! Would recommend him to anyone and all, his experience and demeanor are top notch.”

“Ann L was awesome! She was just what we and Sophie needed. She walked her, texted us what she did and how Sophie was, in addition to sending us a dozen pictures of the visit! Sophie was healthy and happy when we returned. If you need your dog, walked, be sure to Caughlin L!”

About: Over the years, I have owned 11 cats and 4 dogs, not to mention hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. I have always loved animals, and have a gentle approach to care as I think often our pets are scared enough when their owners need to be away. I enjoy trying to ease their fears or stressors, and getting their licks and purrs in return. I am recently retired and generally have a flexible schedule, depending on whether I'm traveling or not. Usually I'm able to work with your schedule. I believe in play and exercise as a way to ease the stress of owners being gone. But of course I listen to my clients and maintain whatever routine they think works for their pet. They know best. With my own dog, we walk twice a day and play occasional games in between (but she is an older chihuahua mix and mostly wants to sit by my side and take naps!). I lost my latest cat last year, but my daughter has a two year old kitty who LOVES to jump, run and play and it's so fun to see what he can get into!

About: I retired young and have time on my hands. I love animals and have had dogs, chickens, ducks, and a very special house Bunny named Oliver. I am open on dates and times. I do have Vacation plans sometimes, but will work with people on there dates. I also know people that sit as well and take care of animals I have taken care of animals a long time and been in situations that require Vet care and fast thinking. I will treat your pet with respect Thanks

“Grace was great. Our Otis really loves her. Pleasant girl and responsible. Will use Grace again.”

About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! As a teacher aide with summers off, I will have almost complete availability over summer. I am flexible and willing to work with you to figure out what will work best for I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species, as well as training dogs at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!

“Repeat client of Felicia’s! She takes great care of my dog and she makes sure she gives them fresh water and leaves the house clean! Much appreciated!”

“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future”

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I’m dependable and attentive. I make sure every dog or cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 15 years, everything from quick play dates to extended stays lasting over a month. I've worked with a variety of dogs including a 13-year old 4 pound chihuahua, a vizla that required 5 or more hours of solid exercise a day, a 160 pound mastiff that thought he was a lap dog, and a very scared dalmatian/husky/german shepherd mix that needed some serious work on social interations. I've dealt with skunk attacks, bee stings, an intestinal blockage and various types of aggression. I AM NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT DURING SITTINGS. I KEPT IT IN MY PROFILE BECAUSE IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN BOOKING MULTIPLE DROP-INS At the end of last year I ended up taking in 3 Doberman puppies that I had dog sat for regularly. I was able to find a home of one of them but the other two are still with me. Because of this I am not able to do extended stays that require me to be gone overnight or dogs that cannot be left alone for a few hours due to separation anxiety or medical reasons. But if your dog is friendly please consider boarding! I currently work from home with flexible hours most of the time. My schedule is very accommodating and I love being able to take advantage of nice weather or last minute requests. The yard where I am is NOT fenced in, but it is very large with several acres of wooded area in the back. For dogs that need to stay on leash there is a long tie out and plenty of walks. I never let the dogs play outside without supervision. There are two other friendly dogs on the property (in addition to my own 2) and two dogs next-door that come over to play all the time. So we have our own mini, well-mannered, well-socialized dog park.

“Shanna really helped out in a pinch! She was really flexible. Thanks a lot, Shanna!”

About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.

“I highly recommend Nikki.”

About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for my own dog, which has given me a strong understanding of routines, behavior, and overall pet health. I have also provided puppy sitting and in-home dog sitting for extended periods where I maintained feeding schedules (including administering medication), exercise routines, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am attentive to each dog's individual needs and ensure they are well cared for while their owners are away. Additionally, I have worked at Pet Supplies Plus for over 3 years which has further strengthened my knowledge of pet care and animal needs. I'm currently enrolled at Nazareth University and am available to care for pets around my schedule. I am available Mondays and Wednesdays 6:00 AM-9:30 AM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 AM-5 PM. Weekend availability may vary, but I'm happy to discuss scheduling in advance. When caring for pets through walks and drop-in visits I work on keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. During walks, I make sure dogs are getting safe, enjoyable exercise, while paying close attention to surroundings and behavior. For drop-in visits I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, replenishing water, administering medication if needed, and giving pets plenty of attention and playtime. I also make sure pet's spaces are clean and comfortable before I leave, and provide updates and photos after each visit so owners feel confident and at ease.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my family and I regularly took in sick, injured, or abandoned animals, nursing them back to health and giving them the love they needed to thrive. This early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the patience, compassion, and attentiveness it takes to truly understand an animal’s needs. While I love all creatures, I have a special connection with cats and dogs, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. I am a business owner who works remote - which makes fitting pet care into my schedule fairly easy. So long as I have a day or so for notice and am not currently booked with anyone else, I can typically make myself available. I can easily provide my services in your home in order to ensure the comfort of your pets. I’m happy to take them outside to play, go for walks, feed them, snuggle them, and ensure litter boxes and yards are cleaned up during my visit.

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting (all different breeds) for friends and family over the past couple years, either in their home or my own. I am a figure skating and hockey coach. This requires me to be at the rink for 3-4 hours a day, generally in the afternoon/early evening. All of the office work that I do for it can be completed from home. I have a cat in my own home. If I’m ever to have dogs there, I put him downstairs with his litter box and food so that we don’t have to worry about the pets not getting along.

About: As a dog mom to a high-energy German Shepherd/Husky mix, I’m very familiar with big dogs who need lots of exercise and structure. I also have experience caring for cats and horses, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and routines. As a Registered Dietitian with a special interest in canine nutrition, I care deeply about supporting pets’ health from the inside out! As a remote dietitian with a passion for animals, wellness, and staying active, dog walking fits perfectly into my flexible schedule and aligns with everything I love: movement, fresh air, and caring for animals. I’m currently pursuing dog nutrition training because I believe in supporting pets with natural, nourishing care. Whether it’s a walk or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel happy, healthy, and loved. I follow your routine closely to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments and always use positive reinforcement and gentle handling. You can count on me to respect your home, communicate clearly, and treat your pet like family.

About: I have a 2 year old lab, Murphy. Over the years clients have relied on me for pet care including walking, sitting, feeding and med administration. Im currently working remote which gives me plenty of time to steps away for a game of frisbee or walk at the park! Evenings and weekends are free! I have a fenced in yard with a dog door to the garage. Happy to crate your pup if needed, mine prefers it! If not pups have full run of the house, including finished basement w/ couches, as well as the spare bedroom queen sized bed 💙 Plently of toys for both inside and outside. I also love doing enrichment activities & training!
