Dog Walking Clinton

About: I bring over 25 years of personal, dedicated experience caring for dogs across every stage of life. My background includes a decade with a high-energy Labrador Retriever, followed most recently by 16.5 wonderful, devoted years raising and caring for my two miniature poodles, Max and Mia. What truly sets me apart is this comprehensive, full-lifecycle experience. I deeply understand the differing needs of dogs as they age. Whether your dog is a high-energy breed that needs a structured, high-efficiency neighborhood workout, or a senior pup requiring a gentle, patient pace, I tailor every walk to their specific routine. Specialized Skills: Senior & Special Needs Care: Exceptionally attentive to mobility and visibility limitations, recovery from medical procedures, strict medication schedules, and the gentle touch required for aging pets. Breed Versatility: Equally comfortable and experienced with large, active retrievers and delicate, intelligent small breeds. Reliability & Structure: I pride myself on extreme dependability, clear communication, and maintaining the exact schedule and boundaries you set for your furry family member. I offer open availability throughout the week (Monday through Friday) for both dog walking and boarding. Because my schedule is highly flexible during these days, I can easily accommodate your preferred routine, whether that means a structured midday walk to break up your pup's day or an overnight boarding stay with plenty of dedicated attention. Dog Walking: Available for flexible, reliable time slots all week including holidays (inquire within) Boarding: Available for time slots all week including most holidays (inquire within) Safety, peace of mind, and immaculate cleanliness are my highest priorities. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and maintain strict, premium standards to ensure a healthy, hygienic environment for your dog. In Your Home (Walks & Drop-Ins) Structured Walks: I maintain complete awareness of our surroundings, keeping your dog on a secure leash away from unknown animals or hazards. I stick strictly to your preferred routes and neighborhood/ street boundaries. Meticulous Clean-Up: I practice strict waste disposal during walks and ensure paws are thoroughly wiped clean before re-entering your home on rainy or muddy days, or everyday (my dogs always got their paws wiped every time we came home). Happy to put your boots on your pet before we leave for walks if needed. Home Security & Integrity: I respect your privacy, ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and your space is left clean, and keys are secure at all times. If you require shoes off in your home, I'm happy to comply.

“Anastasiia was a huge help with getting care for my dog last minute. She took her for a walk and sent great updates and pictures. She is very trustworthy and reliable and I will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with pets and have about 10 years of experience caring for them as part of my family. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I bring that same care to every pet I look after. Coming from Japan, I approach pet care and your home with a detail-oriented, respectful mindset — I follow instructions closely, keep to your pet’s usual routine, and always leave your home exactly as I found it. Small things matter to me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member. I will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work fully remotely, which gives me a flexible daily schedule. This allows me to accommodate pet care visits on both weekdays and weekends, depending on the owner’s needs. I can adjust timing easily for both regular and occasional bookings. I provide in-home visits only to ensure pets remain in a familiar and low-stress environment. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and prioritize consistency with the pet’s usual routine. During every visit, I focus on attentive care and maintaining a calm, reliable presence.

“This was Austin's first time walking our 19-month-old puppy, Rupi, and we couldn't be happier. He took her on a wonderful, long walk around our neighborhood, which was fantastic for burning off some of that puppy energy! Austin was very communicative….It gave me complete peace of mind. We will definitely be using Austin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker.”

About: Hi! My name is Sophia. I’m 24 years old, originally from Miami, FL, and I’m currently a graduate student in New York City studying Opera Performance. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Both of my parents are veterinarians, so I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds. As a kid, I often went to work with my parents, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable around animals with all sorts of personalities and needs. I have a special soft spot for senior pets since I’ve had the privilege of watching my own childhood pets grow old. Back home in FL, I have a 14-year-old Mini Pinscher named Snoop and a 19-year-old fluffy tortoise shell cat named Miley Cyrus, who I visit every chance I get. I also recently adopted a 12 year old tuxedo cat named Ziggy, who lives with me here in the city. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just wants a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own! I’m currently on summer break from grad school and live with my partner of 5 years. We both work remotely, so your pet will almost never be left alone. I’m also a bit of a homebody, so I genuinely enjoy spending time at home with the pets I’m caring for. When classes resume in September, I’ll mostly have morning classes while my partner continues working from home. He is also a huge animal lover and very caring and responsible. We live in a pet-friendly building in Hells Kitchen with several parks nearby, and Central Park is only about a 15 min walk away (for pups who enjoy longer walks and adventures). We share our home with a sweet 12-year-old tuxedo cat named Ziggy. He’s very friendly and playful. He gets along well with both dogs and other cats (especially kittens!). Whenever a new pet stays with us, I always introduce them slowly. I like to give everyone time to adjust to each other’s scent before meeting face-to-face, which helps make the transition much less stressful. I supervise all introductions closely and am always prepared to separate them if they seem uncomfortable or need more time. Having grown up around a lot of animals, I’m very comfortable reading both dog and cat body language, which allows me to stay calm, recognize signs of stress early, and handle introductions safely. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. If your dog or cat is comfortable around cats, I think we’d be a great match! Every pet is different, so I always take time to get to know their personality and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether they want to play, go for walks, snuggle, or just have their own space, I’ll follow their lead. My goal is always to make them feel safe and loved, and if they’re the cuddly type, they’re more than welcome on my couch or in my bed!

“I’m new to hiring a dog walker. But I must say meeting Max and seeing how he is with my 13 yr old dog and his fantastic personality wow!!! I recommend Max to anyone out there who is nervous in hiring a person. He is very friendly, caring and very loyal. Takes the time out to respond to my messages and cares for my dog like it’s his own.!!! Max is 100 percent into his job!! I highly recommend him”

About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs since I was 5 years old. My family back at my hometown has 4 dogs that I always dog sit and take care of. I am currently a teacher who is off for the summer! So taking care of a pet will fit right into my daily routine since I am pretty free and the moment. I currently have 4 dogs and usually dog sitting another. So I am used to a lot of dogs in the house. Since I already have many dogs I won’t be provided on boarding services.

“Alicia was very nice and gave my dog a great walk. Will definitely request her again, when needed.”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs of all ages! At home, I have three wonderful pups—one senior (15 years old) and two energetic 4-year-olds—so I understand the unique needs of both older dogs and playful young ones. Whether it's providing gentle care and patience for senior dogs or keeping up with the boundless energy of puppies, I’m prepared for it all. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like family! As a college student on summer break, my mornings and early afternoons are completely dedicated to pet care! I work a part-time job in the evenings, which means I have maximum flexibility from early morning until 3:00 PM to give your pets the exercise and attention they need. Please note: My current routine is tailored for the summer and will adjust slightly in a few months when classes resume. I am always upfront about my availability and keep my calendar updated so there are never any surprises! I provide attentive and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. For dog walking, I ensure safe, engaging walks that match your dog’s energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or an active adventure. For home visits, I make sure your pup gets plenty of attention—letting them out for potty breaks, refreshing their water, and giving them playtime and affection. My goal is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while you’re away!

“Jessie saved my life this weekend! I came down with some virus and needed immediate dog care and Jessie was there to help. She was punctual, communicative, and very professional. Will absolutely book again, thank you so much for all of your help!!!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my friends’ and neighbors’ dogs. I’ve looked after puppies who were still learning potty training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and sticking to a routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, keeping up with house rules, or giving extra attention and affection, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide your dog with plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having a furry companion by my side while I work and enjoy taking breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks between meetings. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of love, care, and companionship while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I live in a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I provide a calm and comfortable environment with plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Since I work from home, your dog will have lots of companionship throughout the day, along with regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m committed to following your pet’s routine and making sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up caring for my three dogs (Prince, Sophie, and Teddy), so I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and needs. I’ve also pet sat for years, including pet sitting a busy household with eight cats! I’m patient, attentive, and truly treat every pet like family. I work full-time remotely with just a few short meetings each day, so I’m home and able to give pets lots of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the day. After business hours, I’m very flexible, which makes overnight care, evenings, and weekends easy to accommodate I treat every pet like they’re my own! I stick closely to their normal routine (e.g. feeding schedules, walks, playtime, meds, and lots of cuddles!). I keep spaces clean, send regular updates/photos, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away so you can relax.

“Rachel did a wonderful job walking my dog. She was reliable, professional, and clearly attentive to my dog’s needs. I felt confident knowing my dog was in such good hands, and I returned home to a happy and well-exercised pup. I would gladly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.”
