Dog Walkers in Catskill, NY

About: I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting for cats or dogs, and I’m happy to provide daily exercise, playtime, feeding, and medication support as needed. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or consistent routines, I tailor my care to fit their needs and personality. I grew up with mid-size dogs and frequently watched smaller dogs for family friends in Pittsburgh. After moving upstate, I became a devoted cat dad to my black cat, Lola, for three years. Since then, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, including seniors with specific feeding and medication schedules. I'm attentive and responsive to every animal’s unique rhythm. I currently work remotely as a freelancer, which gives me the flexibility to drop in or house-sit for quality time with your pets during the day. I enjoy staying active and love being outdoors—so your dog will always get a good walk (and a happy walking buddy!). For overnight stays, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I pride myself on being responsible, respectful, and kind—treating every home and animal as if they were my own. As a freelancer who works remotely, I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights provided there's stable wifi. I am a trustworthy house sitter/ walker who priotizes clear communication on expectations and house standards. I do not offer pet care from my own home.

About: 🐾 I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pup, and my goal is to give you that peace of mind. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from energetic breeds to couch potato seniors who just want a cozy spot to nap. When I host, I only take one dog at a time (or one family - multiple pets from the same household) so they get my full attention. Whether that means long walks, play sessions, or just lots of cuddles, I'm happy to adapt to what makes your dog the most comfortable. I also have experience with rescue dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’d love to meet you and your pup to see if we’re a good fit. I work from home which gives me a flexible schedule with open availability. I can regularly walk dogs in the morning, mid-day or evening. I only take on one pet per booked time which means your pet will always receive my undivided attention and care. When outside, dogs are 100% supervised at all times. I have a Furbo camera that enables me to check in on pups when I am out of the house. For the safety of your pup, I do not frequent dog parks. I have experience administering oral medication.

About: I have worked in vet clinics and no kill animal shelters with cats dogs and all small animals. I know how to give medications if need be to stubborn animals.

If you need or want more information do not hesitate to text me first and then call. I get tons of scam and spam phone calls and wouldn’t want to miss an important one from a client! If ever in a pinch I can do overnight hours as well! 11pm to 6am. Available 24/7 365 days a year! Will also take pay via cash app $Justlovegood or cash in person! Open availability to watch and care for your pets. I love cats and dogs all sizes and breeds! I will happily house sit and pet sit, or just drop in to make sure your pets are fed/walked and given play time and enrichment while you take care of business, holidays or emergency situations! I cannot board animals with me at my own home. Apologies! I have a fenced yard with my own pets. I make sure my pets go on daily walks and play constantly with my cats! I would ensure to treat your pets as my own to make sure they have the best care!

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, i’ve taken care of neighbors and friends pets and I worked at the Daily Stroll as a daycare attendant for a year. I have volunteerd at Wonderpaws in Hudson working with a variety of different breeds and ages. I also have two of my own dogs, both with high energy so I know how to tucker them out! I am currently a part time student and am working part time. I am able to watch/walk your dog Mondays, Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Sunday's before 3! I am experienced in walking all different types of breeds, sizes and multiple dogs at once. I would also love to bring them to dog parks near by.

About: As an experienced rover, what sets me apart is my unique ability to cater to the diverse needs of every animal. With a wealth of experience handling all breed sizes, from petite Chihuahuas to majestic Great Danes, I ensure tailored care that meets each dog's individual requirements. I have the patience and proficiency in managing reactive dogs, providing a safe and comfortable environment where even the most anxious pups can thrive. Through patience, understanding, and specialized techniques, I create an atmosphere where every dog feels secure and valued. I am a working professional in the area with a flexible schedule. Love to spend time outside and love to have animals be a part of all those adventures. I have an open space with access to very private dog parks and trails for your pup to run around. I love hiking with pups and getting them out into nature.

About: Hi, I’m Abigail! I recently moved back to the Hudson Valley to develop my career in the environmental field. I’m currently working a hybrid position in ecological restoration. When I'm not spending time nature and with plants, I love caring for animals! Growing up with animals in my household ranging from cats to dogs (to even turtles and birds) has given me an affinity to not just adore all types of animals, but has given me the proper skills to understand the responsibility of caring for an animal. I understand that all animals are unique in what makes them feel comfortable and loved and will always do what is best to ensure the safety and comfortability of your pet! For dogs: - A meet and greet would be a great idea beforehand to get to know both you and your dog, so I can provide the best service possible! - I love being outdoors as much as I can, so I plan to take your dog for long walks as much as I can! - As for potty breaks, I think three times a day is the minimum. Once in the morning, afternoon, and before bedtime. However, if I am not working, I can take them out as much as you/they desire! - Maintaining your pets feeding routine is very important and I take special care to be considerate of any special dietary needs. - Lastly, I know it can be hard for some animals to be separated from their loved ones. I will make sure they are feeling loved while they are under my care. For cats: - I currently care for an orange tabby rescue, named Hugo, who can be a bit needy, (although him being special only makes me love him more!), so I understand that cats can require a lot of attention and love, and I will ensure to give them plenty while they are under my care. - Cleanliness is very important when caring for cats, as the owner and of a cat, I know my cat can get upset if his litter box is not kept in pristine condition, and when caring for your cat I will do the same! - Diet is just as important for animals as it is for humans. Feeding your pet according to their needs is something I will take seriously. I work a hybrid position, with some days in the field, some days at home. I’m never out of the house for more than 8 hours for work. That said, I can be pretty flexible to accommodate your schedule. If I am unable to meet the needs requested I will be sure to give as much notice as possible. In a clients home, I like to keep things tidy and work within the boundaries discussed with the client. Cleanliness is important to me and I appreciate staying in homes that are kept in generally good condition. I try to mirror the animal's usual routine in a home and prioritize everyone’s comfortability.

About: Hello! I’m Jess, and I provide specialized walking and drop-in visits across the Catskill, Hudson, and greater Columbia/Greene County area. I don’t just walk dogs; I use every visit as an opportunity to build confidence, improve focus, and reinforce leash manners. My approach is built entirely on modern, science based Positive Reinforcement and LIMA (Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive) principles. I believe in rewarding behaviors we want to see, helping dogs learn safely, without the use of intimidation or aversive tools. I am currently completing dog training and behavior studies through the CATCH Academy curriculum. This ongoing education ensures your dog is in the hands of an informed and committed professional. I currently work part time on Sundays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I focus on leash manners during every walk to ensure a pleasant and comfortable experience. I can work with dogs on impulse control skills to help reduce pulling through positive reinforcement and force free training methods. If your dog has any triggers I will work to maintain distance and reward when calm to ensure success and keep stress to a minimum for your pup.

“Pippa really enjoyed her walk. Thanks for helping tire her out!”
