Dog Walkers in Brooktondale, NY

“I can't recommend Noah enough! She is fantastic with my dog, who can be a bit shy with new people, but Noah immediately put her at ease. She is punctual, communicates well, and sends me updates (and adorable photos!). I feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands.”

“Sarah was very good at communication and punctual with her schedule. She was observant and provided detailed feedback about Luna and her behavior. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for walking Luna.”

Denim D.

“Joey was great with Ruby. They were both attuned to Ruby’s needs and also enthusiastic about being together and sharing time for a walk. Joey has a curiosity about the experience of the animal that lends to a special type of compassion. Looking forward to having them walk Ruby again after I have my baby!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities for a large portion of my life - from when I was a kid in Jersey until last year, when my sweet and challenging pit bull, Hudson passed away. The fourteen years I spent with him taught me everything I could possibly want to know about how to care for a dog. I love and miss him so. I'm not in a position to adopt a new dog of my own yet, but spending time with yours would be the next best thing! I have a part-time job at a local artist residency with flexible hours. I have my own car and am available for multiple services at various times each day of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a large dog crate, 2 dog beds, and plenty of toys. I'm an extremely trustworthy person and would treat any client's home with the utmost respect and care. I'm an active runner and would love to take your dog for hikes and walks with me.

“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 chosen to be a pet care provider as a way to earn money because I really enjoy being around animals. I grew up with two dogs and have been employed in Ithaca since 2011 in taking care of several families' cats and dogs, including one family for over 6 years. My responsibilities have included feeding and playing with pets, and walking dogs on a regular basis as well as when owners are on vacation. I have also stayed overnight at clients' homes. I have a reliable car, I answer texts promptly, and I will always be respectful of your home. My schedule is flexible so I try to accommodate your schedule. I can provide references upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs. I am self employed with pet care as my primary business. I offer customized care, flexible hours including weekends and holidays. I can meet your needs on a one time or a regular recurring basis. Safety of the pet and the owner’s home is my number one priory. I also really enjoy spending time with your pet. I provide excellent communication and updates through text, photos, email, and videos.

About: Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I have experience compassionately caring for animals for 14 years. I discovered my love for animals when I was a little kid when I walked my neighborhood dogs on a regular basis. Since then, I’ve walked & pet- sat many dogs, fostered animals, and grown up with my own cats and dogs. I’m certified in dog CPR and take your pet’s safety and well-being seriously. I am patient with pups who may find meeting other dogs/ adults/ children, etc., in unfamiliar territory anxiety-provoking. I will watch out for any anxious body language during our walk so that I can offer your dog calm and reassuring support to ensure they are safe and confident in our time spent together. I value clear, open communication and make it a point to always stay responsive to pet parents—I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your dog. I love to hike and be outdoors and am always looking for a fur-companion to join me. I look forward to giving your dog lots of well-deserved love and exercise! I am currently an online college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to play outside with your pup and get some fresh air! I have two cats, so I can only come to your home to care for your animals. I am currently unable to care for pets in my home. I am only providing dog walking services.

“We really enjoyed having Alexandra as our dog walker! She took great care of our dog (and even played with our cat) when she came to our house for a couple days. We will definitely be asking her for help in the future!”

About: I have cat/dog-sitted for a couple of friends on multiple occasions. They were extremely satisfied with my service. Additionally, I have four cats at home! So, I am familiar with taking care of cats. I am a veterinary student at Cornell University. As of currently, I am available all days of the week in the morning as well as the evening. I always make sure the fur baby has fresh water and food. Additionally, I keep the space clean and tidy if the pet made a mess (e.g. near the litter box or water bowls). Lastly, I give new pets time and space to get used to me. I don't invade their personal space and wait for them to make the initiative.

About: I grew up with with a variety of dogs as a child and even showed my collie puppy as a junior handler. I have cared for cats and dogs, including puppies and cats with medical needs since I was a teenager. I currently have a smart, affectionate, and active golden-doodle. I feel that I have a good understanding of what dogs and cats need to thrive and be happy. I understand how other people feel about their feline or canine companions and I want to treat them the way I treat my own. My schedule is very flexible and I am available during several blocks of time most of the week. I can structure my time around pet care opportunities. The services that I currently offer are drop in visits for pets and dog walking. I am open to meeting the client's needs and requests. I am happy to play with your pet, feed them, give medications, clean a litter-box and whatever else is needed. I am very warm and care about the pets social and emotional needs.

About: I am a true animal lover!I have a genuine passion for all animals, and I truly believe they deserve love and respect, especially when their families are away. I currently volunteer at the Ithaca SPCA, where I walk dogs every Sunday. This experience has not only deepened my love for animals but has also taught me the importance of providing each pet with individual attention and care. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I strive to cater to those while ensuring they feel safe and loved. When you choose me as your animal sitter, you can rest assured that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I will provide them with the same respect, love, and attention they are used to, so they can feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

Taking care of animals truly brings me so much joy and I am beyond happy to make the time that is necessary to take care of your sweet pets.

I know that a pet is as important as a family member and holds such a special place in the lives of it's owner. I make sure to provide all necessary attention, love and nurturing to a pet when needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life but only sitting for 2 years! I love animals and am always looking forward to learning more. I’m a Cornell student, but only have classes Monday/Wednesday! With this schedule it is easy to take pets on walks, drop by and check on them, and make sure they get all the care and attention they deserve! I always leave things the way I found them if not better! Including living spaces and animals. I always want to make sure I keep someone’s area clean and make sure I keep someone’s animal safe and happy while with me!

“Perfectly satisfied and excited to make Jae our steady walker for the pup in August. Truly a delight!”

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: 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.
