Dog Walking in Cohoes

“I was able to book with Linda under some tight time constraints, she was super flexible and made time for a quick meet and greet before booking. She has a very calm energy and did great with my beagle who was a little stressed after a long move from CA. Loved the pictures and updates she sent, highly recommend for anyone in the area :)”

“Leo did a great job walking my nervous and skittish American Eskimo, Glacier. Leo us patient, and has taken the time to build a great relationship with Glacier.”

“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I am a full-time hairstylist. Though I am scheduled for the same hours each week, sometimes I have slower weeks than others and my weeks are never always the same. I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!

“Katrina was so loving and kind towards my pup!! She treated Brodie like her own during his walk. She also had a lot of availability and was very flexible with last minute changes to our schedule! Thank you Katrina!!! Will definitely use again”

About: Hello! My name is Michelle. I have been caring for animals since I was a young kid, because I must say, my negotiation skills and PowerPoints were strong as a 10 year old trying to convince my parents I needed hamsters, guinea pigs, and even a horse (all of which I had). I have consistently provided overnight care a German Shepard and Terrier Mix. I have also provided overnight care for a family member's chihuahua and I have a pitbull of my own. I am confident around countless types of dogs with various temperaments (anxious, food aggressive, excessive energy, dogs with health issues). I am kind, gentle, and overall just a huge animal lover looking to spend time with more pups!! I can always be counted on to be on time and to be someone you really trust with your family member. I have very flexible availability because I currently make my own hours as a business owner. I can make most times work depending on other bookings. I will provide care in my clients home by respecting their space and provided boundaries in place to keep the animal safe/happy. I will always follow the rules given to me to ensure all parties are safe.

About: I am a 26 year old who has always had a love for caring for animals. I have owned dogs all my life. A springer spaniel named Kramer, a black lab named Bernie and currently have a 7 year old yellow lab named Larry. I have watched many family members dogs of all sizes while they have gone away age ranging from puppies to older dogs, so I have experience with all kinds. I love being around any kind of dog whether it is walking them, or just hanging out with them all day. I have grown up with dogs and have owned them at all ages so I am comfortable with dogs of any age and size. I am very responsible and will care for your dog as if it is my own! I work 8:30-5 Monday through Friday but am free after 5 and on weekends. i currently work an 8:30am - 5pm job monday - friday. i’m available weekdays after five and on the weekends i am free for check ins i live in an apartment complex and also owns. cat who doesn’t get along well with dogs so i wouldnt be able to take dogs in

“Shannon is great! She’s very patient with our nervous dog and always keeps me updated.”

About: I've had dogs in my family for over 30 years and cats for over 10 years! Animals should be treated with kindness and love because that's what they give us. I understand the time and attention that new pets require as well as the gentle and caring touch that all pets deserve. I've always been my friend's dog sitter and own two cats of my own. I'm a teacher so I will be free for most of the summer during the week. I enjoy the outdoors so would love to take your dog for a walk and also care for your cat or dog indoors. I've never had a fish but would happily check in on those water babies as well! At this time, I am not able to board your cat or dog in my apartment as I have two cats of my own. Thanks.

“Larry is amazing !!! Took care of my dog just like I would. Took really good care of my boy and I’m very grateful because I’m a worried dog dad. Larry thank you so much for caring for my Dog. Best wishes 🫶🏽”

I know how much a pet can mean to someone, so I make them feel like my own! A furry companion would be an absolute delight to have with me. I'm very active so we can go for super long walks or runs. Most importantly, I always have my phone on me so whenever you need me, expect a response immediately. I have plenty of time to spend with your dog or cat, so I'll be readily available for anything you need. I have the most time for your furry friend over the weekend when I don't have work. During the workweek, I'm happy to help out in the early morning or later during the day. I will unfortunately not be able to offer different sitting services in my home for the time being due to pet restrictions in my building.

“Hayley was very communicative and so loving and fun with my dog. She sent photos and informative updates, couldn’t ask for more! Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve always took a liking to animals and always had postive bonds with them. Over the years of growing up my grandfather owned several big dogs and cats. While others would shy away, not me I always helped out and didn’t mind watching them. I only work mornings and part time so that I have time for my cat as well because he needs to be watched. After my morning shifts I have all day to spend time outside to walk the dogs and get them their daily exercise. Caring for any pet at my home or others will be very similar I will need to know any notes and any restrictions for me and the dog. As I would give them my complete attention so that it’s a little vacation for them as well as subtracting feeling neglected.

About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.

About: I genuinely treat every pet like family. What sets me apart from other sitters is not just my love for animals, but my attention to detail, calm demeanor, and experience with pets at all life stages; from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra TLC Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m consistent and reliable. I keep a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and routine they’re used to, especially during drop-ins or overnight care. If your pet has a strict feeding or medication schedule, I always stick to it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets get a calm, clean space with plenty of love and supervision. I pet-proof areas as needed and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own. I follow all instructions carefully; from feeding to playtime, potty routines, and any house rules your pet is used to. I’m also mindful of securing doors, leashes, and gates so your furry friend stays safe. I always keep you updated with photos and notes, so you know your pet is happy and cared for.

About: I have a young pup myself! She is four years old, and I always take her for walks, to the dog park, beaches, etc! While taking care of her I have watched other dogs, or have taken them out for quick breaks, etc. She loves the company, and I love it too as well as being able to help a fellow doggy mama or father. I did take her to training so I have some skills in training puppies or any age as they can always learn! This is a home with another dog so I will need proof of vaccinations for boarding or daycare, and can only board/watch dogs that are socialized around other dogs and enjoy their company. So happy to help, looking forward to playing with more pups! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to help out! I can board dogs any day of the week, but just know the days I work they will be caged in a large cage during my shift or until my partner is home for the protection of my dog and yours. My dog is extremely social and friendly in fact she likes dogs more than people, but I want to be safe and keep them separated when no one is home. They will never be left alone for more than 4 hours, if that, for the days that I work. For walking services I am available during the morning/afternoons, and some evenings just reach out whenever and I'll let you know! Same goes for daycare. I understand sometimes things come up, so don't hesitate to reach out for same-day service! I'm always looking for a new adventure, so I know a lot of walking spots, and even some water spots for the dogs that love to splash! I also have a partially fenced in back yard, but I have a line that I would use for the dogs to play. If comfortable with me driving, I do have two doggy seatbelts, and know of other places to take the dogs to play, but I have plenty of local dog parks and walks nearby if driving is not something you'd want me to do with your dog. Trust me, I get it! When we're done with our adventure, I have plenty of toys to play with in home. Again, for boarding services, depending on the days needed for boarding, I may have to work. The pup will be caged for safety purposes of both parties, but never more than 4 hours.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since i was 12, Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets, My mother is an animal lover and she taught us to love them and take care of them as if they were our own children.

About: I rescued our staffordshire terrier/apbt mix 2 years ago and have been learning and advocating for breed education. Through travels we have assisted in boxer, rottweiler and golden doodle care. It's important to pay attention to animal cues and of course provide safety and connection. I work remote full time m-f but usually done by 430/5pm. Weekends are flexible. With advance notice I can support drop ins/walks during the day or multiple days in a row. Care is provided in clients home and I ask for care instructions, vet info and any 'house rules.' I want to be respectful and understand the baseline while I'm caring for a pet. Any restrictions, securities measures or special considerations are discussed.
