Dog Walkers in Ferndale, NY

About: When I was a kid I dreamed of getting a dog, but my brother's allergies meant that was out of the question. My solution to this was volunteering to walk my friends' dogs or offering to pet sit whenever I could. I put up flyers in my busy apartment building and started getting some steady clients, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work on an animal sanctuary that specialized in caring for animals with behavioral and special needs. I was really able to expand on my skills and put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet! Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. Right now my work schedule is flexible, so feel free to reach out to see if I'm available. I'll follow whatever routines you usually do at home to try and make your fur babies feel at ease. However you typically care for them is how I will try my best to go about it.

“You are amazing, ruby new best friend 🧡”

“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”

About: Currently, I care for my own cat and provide weekday care for another dog in my home. I also dog-sit for a neighbor’s dog who is fearful and aggressive towards others. I’ve been able to build trust with him by being patient and calm. Happy to build a relationship with your pet/s as well! I also grew up caring for two cocker spaniels and a cockatiel. I work part-time as a farmers market sales person and also do remote website work from home. My flexible schedule allows me plenty of availability to care for and assist with pets. Whether it’s daily attention or occasional help, I’m ready to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine! On drop in visits, I’m happy to take dogs on walks, give all the pets, get to know your dog and make sure they have everything they need (food, water, affection and clean space!) Enjoy meeting and caring for cats as well! Able to make sure they have the food, water, physical interaction and play time they might need while you are away.

“Logan was wonderful - easy to communicate with, reliable, and did a great job caring for our newfie, Coda. His flexibility in assisting us when we were driving through the area was so appreciated. Would highly recommend.”

“Lindsay is warm, thorough and as loving as can be with my two large and mischievous dogs. I am always anxious about having walkers/sitters for my pups b/c they're a lot to handle, but after meeting Linsday and having her care for them, I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon her profile on Rover. Also, she's extremely professional and goes above and beyond. I feel a sense of relief just knowing that she's nearby to assist in a pinch. Thank You Lindsay!”

About: ** Will be moving to Long Island August 1st ** I have been raised with both cats and dogs throughout my life. I am currently a licensed veterinary technician and waiting to start veterinary school. I am comfortable with all shapes and sizes of dogs/cats. I have experience with both senior dogs/cats as well as puppies and kittens. Administering medication and participating in daily training is also not a problem. I’m currently unemployed while preparing for veterinary school so I have plenty of time to watch your furry family member. I am able to do weekends, early mornings and even late nights. I am unable to bring pets into my home since I have three cats and one dog. I will follow your daily schedule and routine in order to keep your furry family member happy and comfortable. The more instructions and requests the better so I know what needs to be done for your pet

“Bethany went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy before, during, and after walking him! 10/10”

About: I've taken care of animals for over 5 years. I started out with a Leopard Gecko, but got a dog a couple years later. After that, I went to C-Tech and completed their Animal Science program, taking care of reptiles, small mammals, dogs, and even sometimes birds. Rover doesn't offer anything outside of dogs and cats, but if you need something else taken care of I'd be glad to help. My schedule is almost fully free. I've been out of school for a while and I love caring for animals! I don't dogsit as a full time job, but when I get a request I couldn't be happier to oblige! When taking care of animals, my own or someone else's; I can provide the animal with play, bathroom breaks, water & food refills, litter changes, and anything else your pet may need. If there's any special or unique care you need done for your animal, just ask. Leaving your pet with somebody else can be a bit worrying or stressful. If you want to build trust first, we can do as many meets as you'd like! Just say a date and I'm there.

“Jennifer is the absolute best with all animals. She is a true animal lover who genuinely cares about all pets and treats them as if they are her own. Jennifer has been dog sitting for me for the last five years and my dog loves her and her dogs. It’s such an amazing feeling to know that when you are away, your dog is in incredible hands. Jennifer takes my dog on daily walks and looks after my dog whenever I’m on vacation. My dog is always excited to see Jennifer! Your pets will be in the best hands. :)”

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

“Angie was great. Our pups loved her. She was receptive to our preferences and demonstrated an ease or operation consistent with her years of experience in dog care.”

“Emmi is very sweet and was great with my puppy Charlie. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the near future.”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.
