Dog Walkers in Brookdale, NY

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for friends and family for over 10 years, and I absolutely love giving pets unforgettable experiences while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for. I am very active and love taking walks with all dogs. After losing my own dog years ago, pet sitting has become a meaningful way to fill that void and share the love I have for animals. I’m currently working full-time in a school from 8-3pm. During the week I am available after 3pm for drop in visits and/or walks. On weekends I am available for drop ins and/or walks morning, afternoon and evenings. During the summer I am a nanny, however have a flexible schedule to let pets out throughout the day! I live in a safe apartment complex with a fenced in area for dogs and well as several walking trails to take your pets on long walks.

“Took our big dog Odin out who loves to be outside and is a big puller but handled him well. Followed instructions and had no issues. She was extremely friendly and efficient.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old. All of my friends parents as a child as well as neighbors and relatives have all asked me time and time again to care for their pets in their home so they can relax while. Pets are my life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and love walking them, playing with them and entertaining them. I will make your pets feel like they are part of my family, not only feeding and walking them but loving them while you are away. I look forward to play dates with your dogs and you can look forward to any updates you need while you are away. Pet care is continuous for us, day and night! We play multiple times a day, my husky mix loves playing soccer! I have games for my dogs, and they love the puzzles. I am currently doing pet care, and a few other small jobs to see where it goes. I am going to have good availability for a while! I have a fully fenced yard and 2 happy dogs, one is a 1 year old husky mix girl, fixed who would love a playmate, and the other is a 6 year old girl, fixed shepherd sized mix who likes to watch the playing more then participate in it.

“Absolutely wonderful person. Dogs love her. Highly recommend.”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!

About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, Guinea pigs. I currently have a husky now. I have a big heart for animals. I will help take care of any dog/cat. I am available after 3pm weekdays due to work and all day on weekends. If I can’t come for whatever reason, such my son being sick or an appointment, my boyfriend is able too. My dog is crate trained and he goes on walks daily. I will be able to take your dog out on walks and let them run in the backyard, if you have a fenced in yard. I will feed them and play with them and keep them stimulated.

“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

“Kathryn has been amazing!! Always on time and very professional. She is great with Trooper, and gives me daily updates after his walks. She is also very responsive to her messages. I highly suggest!!”

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

“Julia was great with Diamond. She made my pup feel at ease during her walks. Julia communicates well and is very responsive to questions or doubts you might have. She kept me informed during every walk and sent many photos and videos. She's also flexible with her schedule, I had to move diamond's walking times about a half hour and Julia was totally fine with it. Very responsible young lady. Would definitely book with her again in the future”

About: I grew up with a dog, I love ALL types of animals all shapes and sizes. During my time in the navy I was using rover as a way to be around other peoples pets and help out. Now that I finally have a house I have my rescue dog and we’re happy together. He’s looking for some weekend friends ! I work mon-Thur about 9 hour days I am off every other Friday and weekends. My pet gets let out in the morning and at least twice in the evening I make sure he poops 2x a day. I have a fenced in yard and 2 spot lights if the dogs are being let out at night. I live in a neighborhood not near a main road.

“Love Madeline! She is trustworthy and accountable and super kind.”

About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was eight years old. Growing up with a pitbull as my childhood dog. Two pitbulls in the house after our first one passed. I take them on walks. Have been to training sessions with them. Confident taking care of dogs and just adopted my own in January. I am currently a D1 student athlete. My classes this semester are pretty light. I have no classes M, W, or F so am most free those 3 days. I would love to fit pet care daily into times that work. Some things I've done for my dogs: I have a fenced in backyard, throw toys around the yard for them. Both of my dogs have harnesses and prong collars for walks. They are fed twice a day. Their paws are washed off when its muddy outside.

“Excellent. My dog adores her. Very reasonably priced, punctual, and communication is great”

About: I am a teacher with plenty of love to give! I recently lost my beloved dog to cancer, so I'd love to watch all the dogs I can! I also have one cat in my house who is very laid back and can be separated from your pets if needed. I live by myself in a quiet neighborhood and have a fenced in yard. I love to walk and exercise and look forward to taking care of your furry family members!! I have experience with both dogs and cats, and any pets brought to my home would be the only ones visiting at my home. They’d have their own bedroom space if they prefer a quiet place but are also welcome to follow me everywhere. I enjoy walking dogs and will travel to your pet to care for them as needed. I have time each day to commit to taking care of whatever your pets need. During the summer months I am home most of the day and have plenty of time to play outside or to stop in. During the school year I am gone 8-4, but home evenings. I have a fenced yard and space throughout the home for your pet to relax. I follow close directions and value your pet's safety over anything.

“Madisen is amazing! She takes my 2 Aussie puppies who are FULL of energy to the dark park daily and she does an excellent job. I highly recommend her!”
