Dog Walkers in Ferry Village, NY

About: I've fostered and trained 14 puppies until they found their forever homes, with organizations like R.A.R.E Rescue and Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. I especially love teaching puppies tricks, such as "sit," "spin," "come here," I can teach them to recognize their names, and I can potty and crate train as well. I used to volunteer at the Nashville Humane Society walking and socializing dogs and cats, and I have experience taking care of animals with special needs or special medical instructions. I love taking pictures of cute moments and will make sure any animal staying with me is loved and cared for! I've had both cats, dogs, and a snake as pets, and I have experience petsitting other animals for neighbors such as different reptiles, ferrets, and bunnies, so I'm definitely capable of taking care of any animal with specific instructions. I am self-employed and work from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have flexible hours and can be available for last minute requests. I also have a car to swing by at any time to take dogs on walks throughout the day or even drive to a dog park. I just moved to New York from Tennessee, so I'm a little new to the area. If you have any special requests, I'd love to help out in any way I can!

“Jennifer takes care of our elderly Bruce extremely well, she is willing to change her schedule to accommodate our need a pet parents. She is a wonderful caregiver and we are happy with her care.”

“Shannon is excellent! She stopped by for a Meet & Greet the day before and did a wonderful job with introducing herself to our two pups, one of which is very timid around people. Shannon's gentle manner won her over quickly. She also communicated with me the day of the walk and took them out for over 30 minutes and almost a mile. It made me so happy to see my beloved pups taken care of so well. If I lived in Buffalo, you can rest assured she'd be my pet sitter of choice! We are here for a few days on an RV tour, and I really appreciated how well Shannon took care of our pups.”

“Helped make our trip to Niagara Falls a breeze! My husband and I wanted to do some of the non friendly dog activities, and Kaitlyn was more than flexible and willing to work with us. Not to mention, our pup adored her ! Would highly recommend/use her again!”

“Ian has been great so far! Flexible and consistent with the weekly walks. He and Amelia are clearly building a trusting relationship, and she’s really starting to warm up to him. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: I have experience taking care of pets, as I have owned a dog myself. I've worked in animal care most of my career, working for institutions such as The Buffalo Zoo, Hidden Valley Animal Adventure, Pet Supplies Plus, dog kennels, etc. I love being around animals, and intend to do so the rest of my life! I'm currently working as a personal trainer at Catalyst Fitness, so I am needed when clients have training sessions. However, this will never extend for more than a few hours (at most maybe 4-5) at a time. So even if I need to go to a training session(s), I can be right back to take care of the animals afterwards! I can constantly provide your pets with enrichment. Whether that be through walking, playing, or just general outside time. I love nature/the environment, so I love getting outdoors. So if that's what your pets enjoy I can absolutely provide! However, I realize animals have a wide spectrum of emotions and preferences, so I am very flexible to provide whatever is best for your pets!

About: I grew up with at least 2 shepherds in my house at any time and learned through doing how to take care of them. I love developing a relationship with a new dog through training and play with dogs of all sizes and ages. I currently work as an audio engineer for a band so the work is sporadic and requires me to travel. Dog sitting allows me to fill in the awkward gaps. I love to take dogs out to parks with my 2 year old Doberman (if you like). He is extremely sweet and gentle as well as a great play mate.

About: As Adoption Coordinator for the Oahu SPCA, I've seen it all. I've cared for dogs and cats in a clinical setting, as a foster, owner, and sitter for many years. I've found homes for countless animals in a rescue setting. And more than anything, I want your pet to feel safe and happy when their loving family is away. I work for myself from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can spend lots of quality time with your baby. Your pet will have no shortage of attention, snuggles, quality time and exercise. Dogs love routine- whether they're staying with me or at your house. Waking up at the same time each morning makes certain they get the ya-ya's out and don't have to wait to go potty. Puppies and older dogs with more urgent bladder needs will of course be accomodated with extra supervised trips outside and puppy pads if needed. I'm very conscious that there are no animal-toxic foods/plants/fragrances left out for pets to get into. You can rest assured your pet will be fed the proper amounts, medicines, and brands of your choice to protect their digestive system. My home offers a big beautiful bike path on the river, where your pet will get tons of good walks and a big house to explore. For cats, I have a large but contained space for them to roam and also find seclusion without getting lost. Their litter box will stay in the same spot every time so they know where to go, and they will always have fresh litter. I would love to play with them so bring their favorite toys! No other pets are in the home as all of our babies passed of old age. Adult family members share the home, so there is extra help. No kiddos are in the home so no concerns there. If in your home, I'm very diligent about making sure doors are secure and locked so pets don't escape. I always know where your pet is and make sure their environment is calm and quiet.

About: I did not have any dogs growing up- my parents were allergic, but I have always loved dogs, and I knew I wanted one when I was able to live on my own. I have been around dogs my whole life, and I have cared for my friends dogs when they needed sitters. I am currently a dog dad to my four year old Australian Cattle dog, and if there's one thing I can tell you about him is that he has taught me everything I need to know to train, house, and communicate with dogs of all breeds. Your dog will be treated with the upmost respect while in my care and will enjoy their stay with me and Yoki. You pups will fit right into the routine of things. I currently own two dogs and I am able to accommodate them both time wise I treat all animals as if they are my own, giving them the same love, attention, and respect I would offer a pet of my own. I naturally gravitate toward animals, and they seem to be drawn to me as well. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs and personality. Whether it's providing food, comfort, exercise, or companionship, I am committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.
