Dog Walking Far West-Side

“Kaylah is awesome!! She is so kind to my dog, and he was instantly comfortable around her! She is timely, keeps you informed, professional, and all around reliable! Both me and my dog think she’s the best!”

Anna J.

“Carly was absolutely fantastic! She was perfectly on time, brought a wonderful, positive energy, and came prepared with treats. My pup was clearly happy and excited to walk with her, and I felt instantly comfortable and confident in her care. I'll definitely be booking her again very soon!”

Brittany A.

“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”

Taylor S.

“Jamie is the BEST! We have a super nervous, occasionally reactive dog, and within two thirty minute walks, she’s my dog’s new best friend. She’s great at recognizing body language of dogs, and is always sure to take pictures of my baby on walks and send them over. She also checked to see what tricks Goose knew, and refreshes them with him on every walk. We’re so glad to have her as part of his weekly routine :)”

Taylor S.

“Anne was very responsive, took Max on a nice walk to keep him busy and sent plenty of photos for the trip. She is a very responsive and responsible dog handler :)”

Shawn T.

“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”

About: With over 20 years of experience handling cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes, I can promise that any pet under my care will receive all the care and attention they need. As I stated, I am very comfortable with both cats and dogs of any breed and any disposition. I am especially experienced handling large dog breeds. I also have experience training dogs and handling older animals. I am also able to administer medication As a teacher, my summers are wide open. I am also available during the school year, with most of my availability being in the late afternoon and evening While in your home, I will maintain a safe and loving environment for your animal. The same care is provided for your pet if it is boarded with me. Boarding amenities include a fenced-in backyard, friendly roommates, and all the cuddles they could want

“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”

Kenny I.

“Fantastic communication and a huge help even last minute!! Will definitely be using her again!”

Heather B.

“We have booked with Alyssa multiple times to walk our dog, Rosie, while we are away from home for extended hours during the day. Alyssa is always so kind, attentive, and communicates well. She has even made herself available for last minute requests when we unexpectedly needed to be away. I highly recommend Alyssa!”

Kayla H.

“Candy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She was incredibly punctual and brave enough to come out even in the bitter cold, which we really appreciated. I was especially impressed by how she connected with our new rescue; she was empathetic, patient, and really understood what our pup needed. We will definitely be asking for her time again in the future. Overall, a great experience!”

About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have competed first aid (for dogs and cats) courses, and I always prioritize health and safety (including avoiding treats and snacks that aren’t recommended for pets). I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes

About: I have professional dog walking and in-house dog sitting experience as well as a deep love and appreciation for the wisdom of dogs. From 30 minute - 1 hour walks and visits to longer term care, I’d be thrilled to keep your dog happy when you are away. I’d say I’m quite receptive to dog personalities and can provide pets, cuddles, scratches, walks, dances, etc. Maybe your dog isn’t into cuddling and playing around — that’s okay too. I respect that and will keep a healthy distance. We will walk. We may talk. I can send you quality candid photos and even possibly montage video of our time together with my filmmaking background and skills. I can promise safe and exciting play sessions of any length.

“John is an excellent dog walker and care taker! Having someone come by my place that I trust is a huge relief. Even in warmer weather Benny still got outside and got great exercise. Thanks so much John!”

About: Hi, I’m Kiera! I know how much pets mean to their families because I’ve been a devoted pet parent myself. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to my own 15-year-old senior pup, so I understand the unique needs of every stage of life. Whether it’s patience and positive reinforcement for young dogs learning the ropes or gentle care and extra TLC for senior pets, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, so I know how to create a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to tailoring my care to their individual needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just good company, I’d love to be their new best friend while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As a lifelong pet lover and current dog parent, I’m always making time for walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Since I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, I’m available outside of those hours for pet care, whether that’s early morning walks, evening visits, or weekend adventures. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, visiting dogs will have a friendly companion, my own 15 year old dog, to keep them company, plus plenty of space to relax and play. I also have a crate available for dogs who need it, whether for comfort, routine, or safety. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and routine as closely as possible to help pets feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure they get the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment where every pet feels right at home!

About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.

“Lara was great with our nervous, little dog. Lacey even felt safe enough with her to do some actual walking. She was on time and worked with our ever changing timeline.”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life and understand that every animal has unique needs, personalities, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic young pets that need extra play and attention, as well as older pets that benefit from a gentler approach and consistent routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and focus on providing dependable, compassionate care that gives owners peace of mind. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship based on each pet’s needs. I am reliable, organized, and committed to maintaining consistent routines so pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight care, or regular walks throughout the week, I make sure every pet receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, administering basic medications if needed, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and exactly as the owner expects. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of supervision and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine to ensure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. My goal is to treat every pet like a member of my own family. 🐾💕
