Dog Walkers in Brooktondale, NY

“Daisy had a great walk with Bailey! Bailey was extremely easy to communicate with. She arrived on time and took Daisy out for longer than I had booked her for. I will absolutely have Bailey walk Daisy again.”

“Kirsten was fantastic with our dog, Beau. She came to our house twice a day to walk Beau and play with him. She sent several posts and videos even while I was out of the country. She even came to the house one day while it was raining and played with him in the house so he could still get exercise. She was kind, responsive, caring, and just perfect all around for our dog's needs. I highly recommend Kirsten for taking care of your pet for any reason. She has become part of our family, and we can't even begin to thank her enough for being simply perfect.”

“Anika is a wonderful dog walker. My 9 month old miniature poodle Russet, who just joined our family, and who is scared of meeting new people, quickly got to know Anika, thanks to her calm demeanor and skills around skittish dogs. Anika came reliably and communicates with us regularly. It was a stressful first week with a puppy for me, trying to manage the puppy’s needs while also working full time. Anika made this week happen for me. I felt Russet was getting the care he needed mid-day when Anika took him for a walk and I was able to focus on my work with a untroubled heart over leaving a puppy home for an extended period of time.”

“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”

I prioritize their comfort, security, and individual needs, providing a home-away-from-home experience.

“Kaylee took care of our dog very well. Our dog is a rescued dog and therefore is very shy. She knew how to handle him for walking him and also interact with him adequately”

“Our pup is nervous when first meeting new folx, but Georgia’s pup Wilma helped with that! Quickly, Jamie fell in love with Wilma and he LOVES his walks or playtime with Georgia, and has even gotten to meet other dogs (and okay), with their help. These walks are making our guy braver and friendlier, in general, for which we are grateful!”

“I met with Lauren, last minute, on a Monday afternoon. She and Penny, Cheagle (Beagle/Chihuahua mix), became fast friends. Lauren has been stopping in to take Penny for a walk and give her some dinner in the early evenings a few days a week when I work. Penny likes her visits with Lauren and is her silly self chasing bunnies etc. Lauren sends me pictures and updates on her after their visit. I think Penny looks forward to Lauren’s visits and I feel Penny is safe and happy with her.”

“Caroline was great. She was super communicative, on time and took great care of our girl! Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child and I finally convinced my parents to rescue one a few years ago! I’ve been the sole caretaker of him since he joined our family and I’ve taken him through the process of crate training, basic commands, recall and potty training! My dog Mav is my best friend and my pride and joy so I would love to take care of yours just the same! I’m currently home from college in Boston and am looking for some part time dog walking and care. I am available all day on most weekdays and I am available on weekends at any time. I have a fenced yard with one dog that sleeps in an outside house. I am also used to crating dogs so I can fit the needs of your household!

About: I’ve always been a dog person all my life. I just have a way with dogs. Patience is the best way to try your animals. Family members rely on me to feed their animals. Currently working at a grocery store so my hours are always different. When I finish working though I head straight over to where I need to go. Sometimes I head over before I have to work too. I take the animals outside when they need to go to the bathroom. While I’m out there I watch carefully over them. I comfort and pay attention to them. I talk to them like they are humans.

About: I've been helping take care of my own pets since I was about 12. I love animals of all kinds and have experiences working with cats and dogs of all sizes. I have pet sat multiple times for friends and family and have been relied on to walk, feed, and administer medications for their furry friends. I'm currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby! I currently do not have any pets in my life. I live in a second story apartment in ithaca NY. I have no pets at the moment in my home so your pet will have my undivided attention. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks and there is a park near by.

About: I have raised and lovingly cared for 3 dogs in the last 20 years. Your pet will feel like they are at home when you're away.. I am a local teacher with my summer off. I have two dogs and children but they travel between two houses. While your pet stays with me it would be just them and myself, they would get my full attention! My yard is set up for games of catch or just exploring new smells. I have a fenced in backyard and an already established dog friendly home. I love walking around my neighborhood and to the park. I am able to drive to your home if needed to feed, let out or walk your pet.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for most of my life! I am also an owner of a bichon poodle :) I love meeting all different types of animals! I am free anytime during the week to watch your animal. I am located out of Collegetown, Ithaca. Weekends I cannot stay over night but I can during the week. I have plenty of experience with all different types of animals and am prepared if any issues do arise. I will stay in contact with the host though out (and send cute pictures of your animal)!

About: A second year veterinary student at Cornell University. As a veterinary student I have plenty of experience with all types of animals. I have been in and out of veterinary clinics since high school and before I came to Cornell, I spent 3 years working full time as a veterinary assistant at small animal veterinary hospitals. I also have some wildlife and horse experience if that need ever arises. I have two dogs of my own (a yellow lab and a black lab I am currently training to be a future service dog) and so I have plenty of my own experience owning and training dogs. I have a fenced in yard, however, I do live in a house with dogs and cats (as any veterinary student would) so a dog/cat friendly atmosphere is preferred should your fur baby need to come to my house. I am a student and most of my classes are in the morning and afternoon. I am usually busy from around 7-3 pm but it definitely varies a lot by day. I can stop by anytime before (sometimes during) and after that time period. I have a fenced in yard and a very dog friendly house. I am a veterinary student with two labs so I am well aware of the danger of leaving things lying around (my puppy eats everything she can see!). I can host a dog in my house for a short time period but since I do have other animals in my house, I require that they be friendly with the other animals (dogs, cats) in my house.

“Cayenne walked my dog weekly for a few months. She was very prompt, easy to get ahold of, communicative and great at letting me know ahead of time if her schedule had changed. She took my dog on nice long walks and he was always nice and tired when I’d get home from work! My pup really liked her, he can be quite energetic and she handled him with ease and care. I would highly recommend Cayenne for your pet needs!”

About: I grew up with big dogs and currently have an 11-year-old black lab mix. I know how to get a puppy to go outside, and I know how to stimulate a senior dog that can't go on long walks. I would love to meet your dog and make them as comfortable as they can be! Your dog will be spending a great deal of time with me and Brisco, as we're both home during the workday! We like to go on long walks in the middle of the day and hang out outside enjoying the sunshine. We have a great deal of space for the dog to walk around inside, and a fenced in backyard for them to explore. We also have access to a creek in the 14 acre Christmas tree farm behind our home, where they can go on long walks on a leash with us and Brisco!

About: Living with family dogs since the age of 5 I have completely fallen in love. My favorite job has been at a doggy daycare when I get to interact and watch over all the well being of the dogs. I also have a month of pet sitting experience with the full care package. I am currently looking for a job in Ithaca after a long winter adventure in Vermont. I've got loads of free time and dogs make me the happiest! I would love to fit in your pets needs into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard with space to run for my 2 pooches at home. If I am at a clients home I am young and active and can provide long walks and frequent bathroom breaks. As well as attention and affection, I love to see a happy dog that knows its valued, I will make your dog feel loved.
