Dog Walkers in Dansville, NY

About: I am an animal lover that grew up with a menagerie of cats, rabbits, anoles, hermit crabs, hamsters and a Border Collie mix who loved to urban mush with me rollerblading. For a couple years I had gotten involved with fostering dogs and puppies of various ages, sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I loved watching shelter dogs come out of their shells and learning about their personalities and needs. I am no longer able to foster due to time and space and I miss it a lot. My current space does not allow for boarding/daycare services but I do have a lot of time in the morning/early afternoon for drop in visits. I do not work Mondays/ Tuesdays so I am available anytime for drop in visits on those days. I am happy to follow all instructions (you know your pet best!). Most pets are happiest on their home turf, I am here to provide a little socializing and break up the day for them until you return home.

About: I've been in the pet care industry for around 3 years. I discovered my passion for animals when I got my first dog as an adult, a golden retriever named Molly. I found my calling and I never looked back. Since then I've volunteered with the Hornell Humane Society, taken on pet sitting clients and am currently being mentored by Ash Osborn, the head trainer at the Pawsitive Pups Academy. I'm also a student studying The Social Approach, a course by dog trainers Amy Cook, PHD, and Josefin Linderström of Canine Consilience. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the care and patience. I make sure the environment is clean and safe. I believe it's extremely important to pet proof homes and take all the measures necessary to keep pets safe.

About: My family always had border collies growing up. I also used to help out at a collie kennel when the owner was traveling. I am open to dogs that are kid-friendly. My husband and I both work full-time and are gone from 8 am to 5 pm. I am available on weekends to take care of your dog. My yard is fenced in and we are a family of five who will give your dog lots of attention and be sure to get it outside for some exercise.

About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I always make time for animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive attention, care, and companionship without rushing. I provide a safe, calm, and positive environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, behavior, and comfort. I make sure all interactions are safe, positive, and beneficial. I respect routines, keep pets supervised, and focus on building trust through calm communication and gentle care.

“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”

About: I've been on Rover for years and have enjoyed meeting multiple pets and their owners! I provide visits, house sitting and dog walking all for a good price. I like to do meet and greets before each visit to learn how I can best suit your needs as well as your pets needs. Thank you in advance for choosing me I am excited to get to know you and your pets!!! I'm currently focusing all my time to Rover in order to build relationships and clients. I am free any day of the week including weekends and most holidays! I care for other peoples pets as if they were my own. I like to meet with the owner/owners before hand to get an idea of how they would like me to care for their pets!

About: I've had pet grooming and boarding positions for the last 15 years, as well as, intermittent day-care, walking, and in-home sitting positions. It's really just been full of a lot of pet loving! I've also had large dogs, regular sized cats, reptiles, rodents, and fish my whole life, so I know how to handle just about anything. With my years of experience, I've acquired many skills that will allow me to do all that I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and happy with me! I'm currently an Assistant Professor of Biology in Alfred, so my schedule is very open and flexible, especially over the summer. I'm also very professional, hardworking, and reliable. I would love to hang out with your pet for the day! I hope to hear from you very soon! I currently work full-time, but my hours are flexible. I am free evenings and weekends, but can still do drop-ins and short walks during the workday. My pets, a cat and two geckos, are spoiled rotten. Cat toys litter my living room floor, so there is no shortage for things to play with. When entering a client's home for a drop-in or to walk the dog, I aim to leave as little evidence of my being there as possible. I follow the directions laid out by the owner and clean up after myself.

About: I have been raised around and have been rescuing animals all my life! To use the word passionate to describe myself would be an understatement. My experience with animals has been nothing short of amazing, from birthing farm animals, to rescuing dogs and cats from terrible situations, I have seen it all, and working in Vet med and animal shelters has been what’s driven me even more to just simply be kind and love all those who are more than deserving of it. I started Rover as a side gig but it’s turned into something much more rewarding for me. Booking with me, I can guarantee your pets will get treated the exact way I treat mine (which may be a little too spoiled) haha! I always make the time for not only my personal pets but yours as well! They would have plenty of daily exercise and Enrichment! ☺️ We would be going on plenty of walks and getting to go on many field trips with my personal dog as well! I always make sure to provide enough enrichment and stimulation throughout the day through various activities!

About: Hello everyone I am looking to make pet sitting a full-time gig because I am a lover of animals and it would fulfill my life if I could be around them and also make a living doing so. I have had animals ever since I was young cats, dogs, rodents, fish, and even chickens at my father's home. I find a great deal and caring for animals because they don't communicate in the same way as humans but they have souls and they are very loving and I honestly enjoy being around them more than people. I would love to meet you and your furry Friends and potentially become a part of each other's lives ❤️ please reach out if you are looking for someone responsible and reliable and compatible to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town! Ideally looking for people who need someone to come to their home and take care of their beloved pets that way! I have transportation and am more than happy to care for them in the place theyre most comfy:) If you need to board your babies I am also available to take them into my house!! However you advise me to care for your little furbaby is exactly how I am going to! Dont worry Ill send lots of cute pictures to ensure that he/she is safe and happy:)

About: Growing up I’ve always had a pet, whether it was a dog, cat, reptile, hamster, bunny, etc. The past experience I have is from ages 10 weeks-12 years old. I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my pups and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have two dogs of my own but have help with them. Can always adjust schedule as needed. I treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat my pet. I don’t neglect and I listen to rules very carefully. I’m a very trustworthy person and can even send hourly updates on your furry friend!

About: I have been taking care of dogs and pets since I was a young kid. I have also grown up with dogs in the house so I am very experienced with how to care and supervise any pets. My parents dog (that I have spent many years caring for) requires a lot of attention and supervision so I am used to giving pets lots of extra care! All dogs have their own personalities, quirks and characteristics. I have experience caring for all dogs, whether it be size, age or personality. I also am able to happily follow any specific instructions (including feeding, medications, etc..) you give me as I also have experience with different needs. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to offer very attentive care to your dog. I am a student but most of my courses are currently online, giving me lots of time to spend with your pet(s). When I am caring for pets, whether it be in my home or a clients home, I always try to make the pets feel as comfortable and happy as they can be! I do my absolute best to make sure all the pets needs are met and more. I love to entertain any playfulness or energy that they have!

About: Grew up with a Labrador retriever from the time I was nine until I turned twenty-one. Have always been a dog lover, I pet sit and help my friends local to me with letting them outside, sitting with them so they don't have to be in a cage all day, and loving them as my own. Pet care is included in my daily routine, feeding my cats twice a day, cleaning their litter boxes, brushing them out, and playing with them is my favorite part of my days. I will treat each animal in my care as my own. They will be happy and loved while you can't be there. Cannot wait to meet them!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I have been on Rover for several years and am starting up my business again. I LOVE being outdoors and am always happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or even spend time by the lake. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Ghost, who I fostered before adopting. I completely understand how to support dogs who may be a little “sassy” and just need extra patience and love...because trust me, chihuahua's have BIG personalities! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I’m also a volunteer with Happy Tails (Ontario County Humane Society), where I continue to deepen my commitment to animal care. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and am happy to care for cats too, whether that’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just providing plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!
