Dog Walkers in Cayuga, NY

About: I have a soft spot for animals of any kinds, and dogs are no exception. My love of animals later lead me to get trainer certified at Petco, and later trained my first service dog for a veteran. From puppy's to older ones, dog for me are no problem. Iv trained everything for few week old pups to old ones. You can generally teach dogs new tricks at any age. I also have perfected a (almost) treatless method that iv used on big to small. If one is patient, it is effective. These are beings in our care and they deserve to be treated well in a way they understand, which is typically pets and praise and a treat every now and then their way This is my job, my hobbies as a droneir fits around it. The needs of your furry family is what takes priority as you lead on with the adventure of life. I'll make sure they stay well taken care of From full time to as needed, sitting required consistant messages and sometimes that extra training. Our furry family members are very important. They need that special care that a calm demeanor like I have can give

About: PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU REQUEST! I have had cats, dogs, bunnies, fish, and horses throughout my life. I’ve trained puppies and kittens, and travelled the world with my animals. I’ve also worked as a vet tech for a small animal clinic in North Carolina. Now I am a tiny human mom! I am perfectly comfortable to stay overnight, as long as your animals are comfortable with children. I am a single mama, so my daughter goes everywhere with me. I do also bring my mini Aussie on overnights (well trained and registered service dog). She gets along with any animal she meets. Please note this when making a booking selection, as I can leave her home when doing drop ins, but not for overnights ☺️ If you book an overnight and later decide drop ins suit better (or vice versa) - I will encourage an edit to the booking for integrity and cost purposes. We will leave your home just as clean, if not cleaner, than when we arrived ☺️ I work in education during the week days, but I am off work all school holidays (plus the summer), as well as weekends. I love spending my spare time with all animals! I am very attentive to the needs of all pets. I check for injuries regularly, and know the signs of distress and illness! Any sudden change in behaviour is a red flag to me.

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

“Victoria was incredible with Finn who is a high energy Aussie puppy. He absolutely loved walking and playing with her and I will definitely be using her again. She is 100 percent reliable experienced and accommodating! Five stars and more!!!”

“Rachel is incredible! I have an energetic terrier that I wanted to socialize with new people as well as get some work done during the day, so we booked Rachel for walks during the day. She not only came ready to exhaust my little man on long walks but takes him on mini hiking adventures and has quickly become one of Chewie’s favorite humans. It’s a great feeling to know he’s in such good hands. And I love the report card pictures she sends each day. They mean a lot!”

About: I grew up on a horse farm so animals have been the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised caring for animals and that experience shaped not only my skillset, but my soul. Connecting with animals is second nature to me, and I believe it’s my greatest strength. Whether it’s providing gentle care to senior pets, keeping up with energetic puppies!, or understanding the subtle emotional cues of animals, I offer a level of awareness and devotion that I believe sets me apart. Your pets are more than just animals- they’re family, and I’ll care for them with the same love, responsibility, and attention I give to my own. I work for my family so I have the opportunity to plan my schedule which allows me the freedom and more availability to do other things I enjoy- like this! My top priorities are safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs — from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions to the letter, making sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I’m highly attentive, always observing for changes in behavior or health, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for you to feel complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is in the hands of someone who truly cares and is fully present.

About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life, I currently live with 5 and love every moment with them. I want to be able to provide care to others dogs who may not be able to care for them as well as they used to for whatever reason. I always love meeting new dogs and hope I get to meet some new furry friends here :) I’m currently working part time and have extra time this summer to be able to go out and do more things, so why not walk dogs while I’m at it? I have a fully fenced in yard (private fence). I like to take my dogs on trails and walks around the neighborhood. I also like to play with them in the yard on days too hot to walk. They’re fed twice a day (amount depends on dog since they’re different sizes).
