Dog Walkers in Etna, NY

“Nichole is incredible! She was amazing with my dog Boe, and flexible to working us into her schedule. Boe loved Nichole so much that she started doing her happy whimper barking when she saw Nichole pull up to the house.”

“We are so thankful for Kirsten. She was able to come over and walk our dog for a few days on short notice. We had no problem trusting her with our fur babies and she sent the cutest photos of them which definitely cheered me up while I was away at work!”

About: I have pet care experience that dates back to my early teenage-hood. In addition, my family has had large dogs that I help to care for since I was very young. Currently I own a 5-year old cat and it has been such a joy to finally know the pleasure or living and loving with a cat! As my experience shows, I truly love animals of all kinds and I know how to best understand what each pet needs and how to accommodate to varying needs. I look forward to helping out with your furry friend😊 I am currently a part-time herbal medicine student living in Ithaca, NY. Because of my status, I have lots of availability to watch your furry friend! I like to enter a relationship with a new pet by first meeting them while their owner is around. I find this fosters a sense of safety and trust off the bat. I understand that sometimes it takes a lot of time and patience for a pet to feel comfortable with you and I try to never overstep their comfort level until they feel ready to engage.

“Perfectly satisfied and excited to make Jae our steady walker for the pup in August. Truly a delight!”

“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”

About: My name is Jessica and I'm a researcher at UCSF. I grew up with two Dachshunds, a German Shepherd mix and multiple cats, so I have experience with both cats and dogs. In 2021, I adopted a senior kitty named Moffet, and she recently passed at age 17, so I understand the special needs of senior animals. I have experience with in-house petsitting and making house-visits while owners are on vacation. I live and work in Mission Bay, and my schedule is flexible. I can assure you your pet will get lots of love from me! I typically work late morning to late evening and sometimes work from home. I live and work in Mission Bay, and my schedule is usually flexible. I am happy to stay overnight in your house to ensure your animals are well-loved and cared-for, and I will respect your home. If preferred, I can make multiple house-visits a day to feed, walk, play, and/or give your pet plenty of attention. I respect your personal decisions on caring for your pet, and I will abide by any rules you give me for caring for your fur baby.

About: I am a previous kennel employee with veterinary assistant experience who will treat your pets like my own! I am currently a student at Cornell University studying animal science with the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I have experience walking, feeding, and handling all different kinds of dogs and cats. I am also a volunteer guiding dog trainer, in which I teach puppies house manners and reinforce their skills. I have my own pets (including a gecko!) and I adore meeting new friends :) I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, so I can easily make time in my day to come care for your pets! Rain or shine, I love spending time outside and would be happy to take your pet with me. I truly value understanding each dog's personality and needs to ensure happiness and safety for everyone. I would love to get to know your pet and take care of them in the ways that they need.

About: My whole life I have been into only 1 thing! And that is animals. By the age of 13 I was volunteering at a local horse rescue everyday after school and by the age of 18 I was volunteering at my local SPCA feeding and walking dogs. I went to college at SUNY Cobleskill for 4yrs and graduated with honors and received my bachelors degree in Animal Science. I studied many different training techniques with both horses and small animals, I even learned how to clicker train a chicken! ;) I’ve taken classes in care, management, training, behavior issues and many more. After graduation I became a riding instructor and horse trainer at a near by stable. I now run my own business as an equine dentist which leaves me with tons of extra time as I usually only schedule trips 1-2x a week! I currently have 4 horses, 2 cats, 1 really friendly German Shepherds, small Maltese, a ball python, and a Quaker Parrot named Echo. I have my own business! As an equine dentist I normally can only visit farms when owners are home so that means most weekend days are spent doing that while during the weekdays I’m totally free! Yard behind the house for the dogs, it is fenced off. We own a 3 bedroom so plenty of room for more animals! I am right in town so I can take dogs for walks or to the park. I share my house with my bf and his 10yr old sister who is my foster daughter. Also a huge animal person!

About: I’ve loved dogs ever since I was a child and I finally convinced my parents to rescue one a few years ago! I’ve been the sole caretaker of him since he joined our family and I’ve taken him through the process of crate training, basic commands, recall and potty training! My dog Mav is my best friend and my pride and joy so I would love to take care of yours just the same! I’m currently home from college in Boston and am looking for some part time dog walking and care. I am available all day on most weekdays and I am available on weekends at any time. I have a fenced yard with one dog that sleeps in an outside house. I am also used to crating dogs so I can fit the needs of your household!

“Joey was great with Ruby. They were both attuned to Ruby’s needs and also enthusiastic about being together and sharing time for a walk. Joey has a curiosity about the experience of the animal that lends to a special type of compassion. Looking forward to having them walk Ruby again after I have my baby!”

“John was great! He is willing to work with us on our nervous dog. We would book again”

“Georgia is great! I have two small dogs, one being a puppy, and she made accommodations to ensure my dogs were happy! Will definitely use Georgia again! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated carer for their pets!”

About: Hey! I'm Yazmeen. I've been petsitting for the last 8 years. I started with my sister and continued on my own. I have experience giving medication and with senior dogs as well as kittens. I love a long walk if the dog is up for it, and I'm always down to play and snuggle. Let me know if you're interested! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I I usually wake up early, so I don't mind an early walk or feeding schedule. I typically go to bed around 11pm-midnight, but I am happy to work around a pet's schedule, especially to accommodate any medications or weather. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so I always do a thorough clean before I leave a petsitting gig (including washing sheets, so you can go straight to bed!) I can also bring in mail and water plants if you give me a watering schedule.

“My dog spent very good time with Rachel. Rachel is the best dog walker I have ever met. She visited us before we leave and try to learn as much as possible about our dog. She kept us updated about Brownie’s status and always kept an eye on Brownie’s water bowl after every walk. I definitely will come back to Rachel again next time.”

“Dawn is definitely a dog lover. She was able to coax my anxious dog outside to walk and do his business. She is reliable and a good communicator. 5 stars!”
