Dog Walkers in Centre Island, NY

About: After unfortunately having to give away my Morkie (Maltese Yorkie mix) puppy a few years ago due to housing arrangements, I treat everyone else’s dog as if they were my own! I will make sure your dog feels as comfortable with me as he/she would feel with you! I never get bored of playing and I definitely won’t run out of energy as long as your dog doesn’t! I get along with relaxed dogs (especially if they like to cuddle), but I also enjoy playing with high-energy dogs because I never stop moving myself. I love the outdoors and being active so I wouldn’t mind spending time playing outside or running with your dog while on a walk! Side note - I also love cats (I have 3), and I can care for them as well! 😊 I’m currently working from home full-time with a flexible schedule and hours, leaving me with an open schedule to care for your furry friends. Send me all inquiries and I will try to make it work. I live in a rental house without access to the backyard, but I live just 10 minutes walking distance from a park that I am very familiar with. I also have two cats who are very friendly and docile. They have been around dogs before and are unbothered. I am also open to playing with your pets indoor at your house, outdoors in a housing community, or even bringing them to a park!

“Shawn did a fantastic job taking care of my dachshund over three days. He was prompt and thorough. Followed instructions to the letter. Totally pampered my guy with long walks to his favourite spots and administered his meds as needed. Recommend him highly and plan to use him again when I have to be out of the house for work etc.”

About: Tommy and I are both experienced dog and cat sitters who have two cats of our own. We both grew up with dogs of all sizes and have been trusted by friends, family, and other Rover users to care for their furry family members. Most of the time it will just be me (Paige) but sometimes Tommy’s work schedule allows for him to come with! We cannot wait to meet and love your pets. As cat owners, pet care is a part of our daily lives (and sometimes 3am thanks to zoomies). Whether we are visiting our families or taking care of someone else’s pet, we make sure to spend plenty of time with the pet family members beyond their basic care. We are beyond confident in our ability to keep your fur family member safe, happy, and healthy while they are in our care. Whether they need to be crated after a walk, or they need to get the zoomies out, we are prepared!

“Larry is definitely an experienced dog walker and very nice person! We are very happy with the last meet and great with Karma and hope to book Larry in the future”

“My dog can be quite fearful and in the past walkers haven’t even been able to get him to go out, but Nicholas had no issues. Clearly he’s the puppy whisperer! I look forward to booking him again”

About: I have worked in the animal fields for all of my adult life, working in veterinary medicine, grooming, and doggy daycare! I prioritize the care and well-being of each pet in my care! With my attention to detail years of experience and dedication to giving peace of mind, I’m hoping to be your buddys, best buddy! (Besides you of course) 🐾 I have a couple of slow days in my schedule that I dedicate to pet care! It really brings a smile to my face to help out pet parents in need! I offer my services with a sense of care, communication, and attention to detail! I’m very passionate about what I do, because I have seen the subpar job that others have done, and I have vowed to give peace of mind to my clients! Proper care for our four legged, and other legged friends! 🐾

“I needed a last-minute dog walker for Bella and Chanel and found Jessica, she responded quickly and was great with her! Bella and Chanel loved the walk, and I received updates and photos. Highly recommend for anyone in a pinch!”

About: I am a physician assistant student looking for some extra income 👩🏻‍⚕️ I have many years of experience caring for my pets and pets of family and friends. I’m always willing to learn and work with any specific needs of your pet! My schedule is super flexible for the rest of the summer and and I’m willing to work with your needs as well!

“I highly recommend viven! She and her husband took such great care of my dog and took her to the dog park and fed her dinner. Her dog yangyang is so friendly and playful and gets along with my Husky great! Vivien also sent a ton of great pics during the visit!”

About: My name is Nicole and I'm 24 years old. I have about 15 years of experience with caring for dogs. My mother is a professional dog breeder who raised me with 5 or more dogs around at all times since I was the age of 3. Therefore, I have been caring for dogs since I was a very young girl and truly know all of the ins and outs of anything dog related. I have also worked at a doggy daycare a few years back, which gave me more experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have proficient experience in training, grooming, giving medications, walking and generally caring for dogs of all breeds. I currently live in a pet friendly studio apartment in downtown Charleston. There is much room for dog boarding of any size. I wholeheartedly have lots of fun while looking after dogs of all kinds, and it is my priority to keep your fur baby safe, happy and healthy! I am looking forward to connecting with you! 🦴🐶🐾 I am currently a part time student, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup! I am available on weekdays anytime after two and anytimei on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly 10 year old chihuahua to keep your pup company. I also can easily crate your dog if needed!

About: Hi there, I am a marketing, events, and partnerships professional with a passion for animal care. I am a certified ski instructor, swim teacher, and wilderness leader with a passion for sports and the outdoors. In my free time you’ll find me volunteering at a local animal shelters and walking dogs around prospect park for NYC Sean Casey’s rescue. I have references from families I have worked for years for, and look forward for your family and animals to join my circle of loved animals. I am currently working freelance positions that do not require me to be in person M-F. I currently work part time for a pet care company out of Westchester and reside in Brooklyn. My family home is also an option for boarding, as well as my spacious apartment. I am open to traveling to all over the Tri-state area. I have been a animal care companion for years for local families who ask me to long term/short stay pet sit ( a three week stay was my longest) and even just do stop ins to water plants if they are away with their animals on holiday. For boarding my home is pet friendly with no restrictions on furniture, and no toxic plants in reach of any curious snouts. While I do not have a fence backyard, I have a patio and two large grassy spots with a long lead tie up for supervised outside time. We are two large lots down from a main road. I am always cautious, safety first, and respectful with all animals and other owners we may come in contact with, and always follow owners lead if socialization is acceptable for each situation.

About: Hello there! I, like many college kids, had a tough time during covid. Luckily, my roommate brought his perfect little puppy to school! He was training to be a CCI dog and honestly kept me sane. We would go on hikes, walks to the park, and say hello to anyone passing by. He became a bit of a local figure by the time he was turned in, well known for being such a sweet boy. I miss him every day and would love to go on adventures with puppies (of all ages) again!! I am unemployed as of right now. I will have all the time in the world to take your dog wherever they want and bring them back very happy and sleepy. I currently live directly inside a park (Wawapek preserve) and will be able to run them all around there. I love to jog so if a pup is feeling extra crazy we can run together! I am not comfortable with off leash dogs so we will remain on leash unless inside an obviously fenced in area. I also want to avoid dog parks with more than one or two other dogs present, as to mitigate any risk of problems happening. I will abide by any rules (crates, no sitting on furniture, etc) that the owner sets other than shock or prong collars. I haven't been taught how to handle dogs with those types so I don't think that would be the best fit. Besides that, I'll run that pup all around!

“I knew Gabrielle was the right dog walker for us from the moment we met. One of my dogs has a tendency to be shy and skiddish, but he took to Gabrielle right away. Her love of animals was evident. She is reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend Gabrielle!”

My mother bred Poodles when I was growing up and I currently own a delicious 'Ivory White' Yellow Labrador Retriever named Eliza who is in fact a valued tem-member here at LIFPC Barbara Why I love dog sitting I grew up in a breeding environment. My mother was a long-time Poodle breeder and from the moment I could walk I was involved! Without giving my age away, I can say that was close to 5o years ago! About my yard We have well over 2 acres of property with a large fenced-in play area and smaller separate enclosures as well. This format allows for either controlled pet interaction or complete segregation. Owners who utilize crates in their homes can bring it with all the furnishings to make their pet feel completely at home. Owners whose pets are socialized and enjoy a 'free-range' environment are happily accommodated. My experience administering medication Prior to going professional as a pet-sitter I worked for many years in a Vet's office close to my home. From client interaction to assisting on operations I have done it all. Medical diets, injections, geriatric pets, etc. are no problem, and are in fact, my specialty.

About: I am familiar with taking care of older dogs as my last dog passed a couple of years ago and he required a lot of extra care from surgeries and allergies. I am currently looking for part-time work since my college graduation and before my graduate certificate program starts, so I have a lot of time for pet care. I have had 2 dogs and have been cat sitting since high school. I am willing and able to do whatever the client needs for their furry friend.

I treat your animals like they’re my own. your animal will come home very happy I work Tuesday 1 to 5 Thursday 2 to 5 Wednesday 4 to 10 PM Friday 4 to 10 PM Sunday 4 to 10 PM. I have a dog of my own. He is a German shepherd Akita mix. He goes to the dog park every day I have cared for many dogs.

About: I have been great with animals all my life. Many people have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats. I'm most skilled with larger pets but I can take care of all shapes and sizes. Most of my day is dedicated to taking care of animals. Since I have extra time on my hands it allows me to pay more attention to caring and maintaining mine and others pets. When taking care of animals I prefer to have said animal within eye shot. This means I will always have the pet i'm taking care of out of harms way.
