Dog Walkers in Brooktondale, NY

“Bailey is super friendly and flexible. My dog got comfortable with her very quickly and even my introverted cat liked to say hi when Bailey stopped by. Looking forward to using Bailey again for dog walking.”

“Kirsten is amazing and our dog is already obsessed with her! She plays with her and gives her lots of love.”

“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.”

“Noah does an outstanding job with our dog! We have a rescue who's afraid of everyone and everything at first, but Noah knew exactly how to approach her so that she'd feel more safe and comfortable. He's been walking our dog regularly for five months, and we have only great things to say. Noah communicates any changes or concerns promptly and always shows up. We highly recommend!”

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

About: I specialize in caring for small/medium breed dogs in a peaceful, country home just five minutes outside of Ithaca. With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds. As the owner of two small dogs myself (a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and a Pomeranian), I understand their specific needs and personalities. Because I do not take larger dogs, you can rest assured that your small pup will be in a setting designed just for them—without the stress of being around bigger pets. My home is ideal for dogs who do well in a quieter setting and enjoy consistent, attentive care. Whether your dog is older and needs a gentler pace, or simply enjoys a low-key environment, I’m here to provide a safe and loving stay. I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for. Because I’m home-based and live in a quiet, country setting just outside of Ithaca, I can maintain a calm, structured environment that’s perfect for small breeds who thrive with routine and a peaceful atmosphere. I offer exclusive pet sitting services at my home, ensuring a safe and loving environment for your pet. With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care. 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!”

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.

“Super impressed with Jae. Our dog and housing can be a bit complicated and she handled everything like a real pro. Highly recommended”

“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.”

“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!!”

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.

“My dogs are so relaxed when I come home from work! Reliable, kind, and took extra time to walk the dogs further because it was nice outside 🩷”

Wesleigh P.

“Allie has been beyond wonderful!! She has been coming mid day to give our puppy some walks and some quality time!! She really makes our day go so much better and has been taking away some of the stress away!! We couldn't do it without her!! 1000 percent recommended!!”

Ashley H.

“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've personally had dogs, cats and fish in my life almost my whole life. I love animals and am teaching my kids the same love. Some would even say our Luna is a bit spoiled, but hey they are part of the family! I work remote so stopping by at any time works out just fine for me. Weekends I am not available will be taken off our calendar so anything on the calendar is potentially up for grabs on weekends. I am a firm believer in training and love. We don't have an issue with pups on the couch, nor issue with crate training. Each person has there own way of life and my goal is to respect that and provide safety and care for each persons fur-baby. As I would expect anyone to do for my fur-baby!

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.

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.

About: Hi! My name is Emery and I am a recent college grad. I've had a wide variety of pets that I've taken care of in the 7 years of experience I have. I have taken care of dogs for about 4 years and have experience feeding, walking, and watching dogs. I also really enjoy taking dogs on hikes! I have mostly done house drop ins where I would feed the dogs and play with them. I own three cats myself, Pumpkin (13), Bean (11 weeks old) and Sprout (3). I have trained the older ones to do tricks and to go on walks. My most recent experience has mostly been in care for cats, where I would feed and play with them at home visits. I am currently a line cook and I work mostly evenings. I can easily work pet care around my schedule by making sure I go to take care of your pet needs before any shift. I have two cats at home, and I am willing to house cats at my home. Small dogs are allowed on a case by case basis. I have an extra bedroom to be used as a safe zone for your pet's privacy. I also already have extra litter boxes. Our cats here have experience meeting other cats and dogs. They interact well with them. As for dogs I am willing to dedicate as much time needed to make sure they adjust well and feel safe with me. I love to play with dogs and give them belly rubs.
