Dog Walkers in Centre Island, NY

About: I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover with years of experience as pet sitter and dog walker. I prioritize putting pets and their people at ease with reliable, conscientious care. I love taking photos of your pet and will send you pictures and updates as often as you need, and please feel free to get in touch any time your beloved dog is with me as I know it’s difficult to leave them behind! I am home full time so I can dedicate the entire day to care and love your pet. I only watch one dog at a time. I love walking dogs and there is a dog friendly (leashed only) park near by if your pet enjoys lots of exercise. You can trust me to keep your pets safe, engaged and happy in my home. Your pet will have free range in my house which is dog friendly. I can provide a dog bed, blankets and towels etc. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides a safe and spacious environment for outdoor play. If your pet requires medication I am happy to give as necessary.

About: Owned dogs since I was a child, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Irish Red & White Setter and a Chihuahua. Experienced with golden doodles and labs. Currently getting my pilots Licence’s and enjoy reading books I’m currently time building for my commercial Licence whenever the weather is good around 5 hours a day when possible. Usually busy at night around 5-8ish otherwise free. I have a tall fenced in yard where I play with my dog or walk him around my neighborhood. Otherwise he sits with me while I study or read.

“Stephanie has been an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup loves her and would recommend her to anyone! She’s the best!”

Debbie C.

“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”

Topher N.

“Highly recommend! She is incredibly caring, thorough, and communicative. I always appreciate the updates she provides about the timing and length of the walk, and pictures of the walk. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands and having such a great time. Reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does!”

Sarah A.

“Ashley is amazing, treats my dog like its her own. She helps give meds, makes sure water is full and comes on a minute notice. Highly recommend.”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my home. Currently, my family has one high energy black lab. In September of 2024, I also adopted my first own dog, Millie! I have watched, played with, fed, and walked dogs for many years including family and friends. I am currently in my final year of veterinary school. I also have worked as a veterinary assistant so have first aid and medical skills. I’m in my clinical year of vet school so my schedule varies by which rotation I’m on! Early morning and evening would probably be best for me most of the time. I try to update my availability calendar as often as I can! My home is very safe. There are plenty of paths and green spaces for walking. Your animal would have to get up one flight of steps.

About: Hi! My name is Eleni, and I’m a 26-year-old veterinary assistant with a lifelong love for animals. Pets have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and growing up I helped raise and care for multiple dogs with my family. Working in veterinary medicine has given me experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and medical needs, including puppies, senior pets, and animals who may need medications or extra patience and comfort. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I promise to treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone calm and caring around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I’m currently available for pet care throughout the summer until September! Aside from one week at the end of July when I’ll be out of the country, I have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays and Saturdays upon request. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. As a veterinary assistant, caring for animals is truly my passion. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, cleaning paws after walks, or simply giving extra love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone, and I strive to create a calm, loving, and safe environment for every animal in my care.

“Claudia has been great with Brandy! She communicates well and always arrives on time ready to take care of her, and send me pics. Definitely recommend Claudia for our little buddies!”

About: Recently graduated from medical school and looking to make some new furry friends before starting residency! My family always had at least 2 dogs growing up that I helped raise and watch as well as caring for friends' and family's dogs from time to time. I am currently off before starting residency in mid-June so can be flexible with your schedule as needed. Available mornings, afternoons, or nights, as well as weekends. I live in an apartment building with a nice long walking path by the water as well as many open grassy fields for your pup to play in!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them most of my life, so being attentive to their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own; making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and pay close attention to routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or just giving them the extra affection they’re used to. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins for peace of mind. I’m especially patient with shy or anxious dogs and take the time to help them feel at ease. My fiance Eric has also always grown up with dogs and was responsible for taking care of dogs and his cat while growing up and they all lived will into their senior years. I work full time where I commute Monday-Friday. Weekends I’m home. My Fiancé also works full time but he gets out a little earlier than I do. For weekend stays we are available to give your furry family the most attention and care. If there is need during the week I’m usually away from home for 10 hours during the day including my commute time to and from work. We will walk and feed them before we leave in the morning and as soon as either of us gets home will do the same and then again before bedtime. In our home, pets are cared for in a calm, safe environment. We live on the second floor of a house in a suburban neighborhood with sidewalks, which allows for safe, structured walks. While we don’t have direct yard access, we make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and attention. I also have a senior cat who is naturally shy and takes time to warm up, so I’m very understanding of pets who may be anxious or need a slower, more gentle approach. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I’m attentive to their behavior and needs, and I always aim to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and safety-focused pet sitter based in Brooklyn, with years of hands-on care for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’ve worked long-term with local families, volunteered with NYC Sean Casey Animal Rescue, and currently work part-time with a Westchester-based pet care company. I’m confident handling everything from high-energy pups to more sensitive or reactive dogs, and I always prioritize calm, structured, and attentive care. What You Can Expect From Me: * Reliable, communicative care and insight (updates + photos) * Safety-first handling, especially in busy NYC environments * Experience with different temperaments and behavioral needs * Respect for your dog’s routine, boundaries, and training Boarding & Home Setup My apartment in Brooklyn and family home in Westchster is pet-friendly and set up with safety in mind: * No toxic plants within reach * Pets allowed on furniture unless you prefer otherwise * Supervised outdoor time with long-lead setups * Quiet, controlled environment away from heavy street traffic While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make up for it with structured walks, enrichment, and safe outdoor exposure. My apartment has a large gated patio, and my family home has two large grassy areas between a patio with a long lead for supervised outdoors time. I currently work freelance in roles that allow me to be home and present throughout the day. I also work part-time with a pet care company based in Westchester on a flexible schedule which has strengthened my hands-on experience with a wide range of dogs and routines. I’m based in Brooklyn and have access to both my apartment and my family home in Westchster for boarding, depending on what best suits your pet’s needs. My schedule allows me to provide consistent care, regular walks, and attention throughout the day rather than long periods of absence. I’m also open to traveling across the Tri-state area for house sitting and extended stays. I’ve been a trusted pet care companion for years, working with local families for both long-term and short stays (up to three weeks), as well as drop-in visits. For boarding, my home is fully pet-friendly, with no restrictions on furniture (unless you prefer otherwise) and no toxic plants within reach. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I provide safe, supervised outdoor time using a long lead in nearby grassy areas, along with access to a private patio. We’re also set back from the main road, which creates a calmer environment. For house sitting, I aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home. I’m clean, responsible, and low-impact, and I treat every space with care. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely so your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive, cautious, and respectful when interacting with all animals and other dogs we may encounter. I always follow each owner’s guidance when it comes to socialization, ensuring your pet stays within their comfort zone.

About: As a fellow dog owner myself I will take care of your pup like they’re my own! I have grown up around dogs and have had 4 in my lifetime. When I was around 10 I began taking on more responsibility and started to walk and feed my dogs daily. Additionally I helped at the Monroe dog shelter all through high school until its closing last year, a total of 7 years. During this time I have interacted with all breeds and sizes from teacup Shitzus to energetic Pitbulls. I have also learned techniques on how to deal with both timid or rambunctious dogs and make them feel comfortable with my presence. I have also babysat a number of years so I am experienced in house keeping as well. I am currently in graduate school with my own transportation and a flexible schedule.

About: I provide thoughtful, full-time, in-home care where your dog is treated like part of the family, not just supervised. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible routines, and individualized care based on your dog’s personality and needs. I work especially well with dogs who benefit from a thoughtful approach— whether that’s high-energy pups who need engagement, shy dogs who need time to warm up, or seniors who need a slower, more gentle pace. My focus is always on helping each dog feel safe, settled, and understood while they’re away from home. My space is designed with safety and comfort in mind. I have a large fully fenced yard and take introductions slowly and intentionally with my dog, Winny, who is a playful, happy companion and often helps visiting dogs feel more relaxed and at ease. I create an environment where each dog can settle in at their own pace. I keep my bookings limited so each dog receives the attention and care they deserve— this is not a high-volume setup. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also offer flexible scheduling and optional pickup/drop-off within a reasonable distance to make travel days as smooth and stress-free as possible. I’m home all day and can be very flexible with schedules, feeding times, walks, and routines. This allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance throughout the day so they always feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety and emotional wellbeing always come first. For this reason I send daily updates with photos/video so you can be at ease knowing your baby is being well taken care of. When caring for pets in my space, I have a fully fenced yard and a built in playmate. I do very slow, supervised introductions with my own dog, Winny, who is a very playful, happy girl. If either dog prefers space, I can easily accommodate comfortably separating the pups as needed both indoor and outdoors.

About: Hi! My name is Bella. I’ve had years of experience caring for animals: dog and cat sitting, dog walking, puppy care (including caring for newborn puppies). My family has always had dogs of our own as well, including many rescue dogs over the years. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and offer a flexible schedule to suit you and your pet’s needs. I’m currently working part time and can adjust my schedule to your pets needs and can manage walks, playtime, etc. in between my current schedule. I can easily crate your pet if needed. I live across the street from a big field and usually take pups on walks there or around my neighborhood. I can also take them to a fenced in park nearby if the owner is okay with that. Although I work part time close by I’m around most of the day so your pup will have plenty of attention and play time!

About: I've had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes as naturally to me as anything. When I got my puppy four years ago, I dedicated myself fully to his training and development, spending every day with him through those early months to make sure he grew into the happy, well-behaved dog he is today. I also have experience with the more challenging side of pet care. My older dog had diabetes, and I spent a great deal of time managing his condition, administering medication daily, and making sure his final years were as comfortable and loving as possible. It taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and caring for pets with special medical needs. Beyond my own dogs, I've spent years babysitting, walking, and watching dogs for friends and neighbors. Animals have always been drawn to me, as I have a natural calm with them that puts even shy or anxious pets at ease. While I'm new to Rover, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience. Whether it's a long walk, a trip to the park, or just cuddling up with their favorite toys, I pour real love into every visit. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I'll treat them like my own every single time. I recently graduated from college and will be starting my Master of Social Work program at NYU in September. I am available all summer and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve! I'm currently based in Plainview, Long Island, where I'm free and flexible for any and all pet care needs throughout the summer. Come September, I'll be living in New York City, where I'll be available for drop-in visits and walks during the week, and open to extended stays on weekends. Whether you're on Long Island or in the city, I'd love to help care for your pup! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have experience both crating and not crating dogs, so I'm happy to follow whatever routine works best for your pup. If needed, I can crate them safely when stepping out, or leave them with a frozen treat and a favorite toy to keep them calm and comfortable, especially if they experience separation anxiety, as my own dog does! I tailor every visit to the individual dog. Whether your pup needs a long, energetic walk or a short and easy stroll, I'll follow their lead. I'm always attentive on walks, making sure they don't pick up anything harmful off the street, and equally watchful in the home to keep them safe and out of trouble. Most importantly, your dog will never be short on love. I'll give them all the pets, cuddles, and attention they could ever want because I truly love animals!!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover, doctoral candidate, and business owner who works from home—so your pup will have my full attention in a peaceful, fun, and love-filled environment. I’ve cared for dogs and cats for years and have been the trusted sitter for friends and family throughout my life. I enjoy puppy care, high energy dogs, and dogs who benefit from gentle patience and enrichment. Whether your pup needs an active playmate, a calm companion, or a structured routine while you’re away, I’m here to help. I currently share my home with Laney, my yellow lab and best friend. Together, we’ve completed multiple levels of canine education, from basic obedience to therapy and service animal training. I’ve spent years working with her through structured behavior work and commands, which makes me especially comfortable providing care for dogs needing a little extra attention. Laney is well socialized and she's a registered service animal. She has a lot of pup friends and we're actively involved in the neighborhood dog group - hosting playdates and visits and enjoying group walks and meet-ups at the nearby parks. Here’s what your dog will enjoy during their stay: A large fenced yard (~4,000 sq ft) with a well-kept lawn A deck for sunbathing and relaxing (cooling bed optional) A dog pool for supervised splash sessions and cooldowns Access to quiet walking trails in a friendly, pet-loving neighborhood Consistent care from a work-from-home pup-sitter (they won't be left alone for long) I believe every dog deserves loving care, mental stimulation, and lots of joy while their humans are away. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and offers safe, enriching, high-quality care, I’d love to meet you and your pup! I work from home, running a business and completing my dissertation research. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to accommodate different needs. Laney has never demanded a set routine, but I'm generally up early for workouts and coffee breaks on the back deck. However, if your pup likes to sleep in, that's not a problem (Laney has been known to stay in bed late from time to time). I'm happy to discuss options for you and your pet(s). Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I work from home, so your pup will be supervised, loved, and never alone for long. My home offers a fully fenced ~4,000 sq ft yard, dog pool, and quiet walking paths and parks nearby. Indoors, it’s calm, clean, and cozy—perfect for both high-energy dogs and mellow cuddlers. I follow your routine exactly and I'm happy to provide photo/video updates, so you always know your pet is safe and happy. As a dog lover, I consider pets family members, and I know how important it is to be able to trust in the person caring for your loved one(s).

“Arielle was very professional. Very communicative and even offered to come by to meet me before the weekend we needed her to walk Moxie. I would definitely with with Arielle again. Dog approved as well!!!”

About: Family, friends call me Titi Sammy. Why?! I watch and take care of everyone’s kids! And you know it.. our dogs are our kids too :) A little more about me: I have a passion for helping stray and neglected dogs. I volunteer with many rescues in Puerto Rico. I do airport transport, coordinate with fosters (and foster), and love on pups that come to the states while they wait to meet their forever families :) Hoping to run my own rescue one day!
