Dog Walkers in East Greenbush, NY

“So nice and great with the dogs. Definitely made me feel better while I was away from home :)”

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

“We love Tara! Our dog Breezy has been so happy with her. She’s professional, communicative, and very skilled in handling doggos. Breezy can be very stubborn and tries to assert himself as in charge but Tara handles him beautifully by being calm, firm, caring, and consistent. He highly approves of her as a daily walker and as a dog sitter/boarder. When he’d stay with her he’d always get lots of attention, which of course he loves and which we love in a sitter. We highly recommend Tara for pet care!”

About: I am an active animal lover experienced caring for both older dogs and puppies, even at the same time. I have experience giving meds and helping pets with limited mobility. Puppy training experience too! Cats and pocket pets also welcome. I rescue dogs as a volunteer, and pets are my passion! Included: brushing, medication administration, hiking, kongs, potty training, basic command training for puppies. If desired, I can include a play date with my border collie, too. Young Dog: 2 hikes a day and midday play session. Older Dog: 2 walks as mobility allows. Or 2 big snuggle sessions with brushing and meds. I am a teacher off for the summer and available for house sitting, drop ins, and dog hiking. I have my own dogs cared for by my family at home, so I can arrange for playdates! I follow the rules you set out and keep to the routine your dog is used to. I use positive reinforcement training only, and I have no problem with leash pulling, prey drive etc. I work with these issues using training treats as approved by you!

About: worked for a vet three years, have had animals my hole life. Excited to meet your special fur babies.

About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

“So sweet with my pups and took great pictures!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“Alexandra has been walking my dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog adores her! Her communication is excellent, and the photos she sends are always amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

“Jessica went above and beyond for Daisy! She was so patient and understanding of our shelter dog's need for slow intros and some extra support learning to walk politely on the leash. She was super communicative and took care to follow all the instructions we gave her. We recommend her highly to anyone who needs walking/petsitting services!”

“Linda is great at rolling with whatever Nikko’s mood is for the day. Sometimes he wants to walk—even run a bit—and sometimes he just wants to go out for a quick pee and get some love. She’s the best!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds from age 10. I love what I do so much Ive decided to make it a career. I used to work at a doggy daycare so I have lots of experience with all times of dogs! I also have experience doing lots of nail trims and baths! I’m not working at the moment which means I’m home all day everyday and that means your pup gets the attention they deserve and more! There are lots of dog parks and hiking areas around my location so your furry friend will have lots of outside time to tire them out. I also have plenty of dog toys and treats inside in case we can’t go out.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’ve worked with dogs for the past three years and have a cat of my own! My experience includes administering food and mediation, walking and handling dogs and cats, and dealing with all breed, sizes, and temperaments! I have plenty of time to care and visit your pets! I am able to stay overnight with your pets, take them out for walks and potty breaks, play with them, and send plenty of photos! I care for pets with great responsibility and great compassion. Animals mean so much to me and to be able to care for yours would be of great happiness to me!

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.

About: Growing up with dogs and taking care of the neighborhood dogs I'm no stranger to the amount of attention a fur baby needs. With a BA in Zoology and over 3 years of professional care with dogs I can't wait to meet your family! My day job at doggy camp keeps me pretty busy but I can't wait to hang with your fur baby on my days off! Your animals boundaries are my top priority. It is important to me that your fur baby and I can create a relationship where they look forward to my visits. Every animal builds trust differently and there's no rush
