Dog Walking Fort Totten-Upper Northeast

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“Julie is awesome! Takes Prince on long walks. always sends pictures, and always on time! You can’t go wrong, she’s great!”

“Felicia walked my dog, Ghost, yesterday for the first time. He is a German Shepherd, 18 months old. Felicia has looked in on my cat several times, so I knew I could trust her. I was a little concerned about Ghost as no one but my husband and myself had ever walked him before. Felicia told me Ghost was a little anxious, but he responded well to her and they accomplished a short walk. I am thrilled! I highly recommend Felicia both for drop in visits for cats and dog walking. Thank you, Felicia!”

“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”

About: I have been a lover of all animals for as far back as I can remember and have taken care of them both personally and professionally. I have been employed by zoos and aquariums, worked with tigers, made diets for birds of prey, and assisted Marine Biologists with shark tanks and coral reefs. My training has not just been in educating the public, but in positive reinforcements. Everything from dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, frogs, and so many more have been in my care over the course of my life for one reason or another. I am my friends' go-to for anything they've ever been curious about when it comes to our natural world. And being a dog mom of two myself has been one of the most rewarding privileges I've been able to experience. Pet care for me is 24/7 for my own babies, but I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays for any and all services. My pupperonies have been crate trained by me, but for the most part free roam. They have designated areas for when the hoomans are out of the house where they are allowed to nap and play with their toys or each other. Both have been socialized and are respectful of the other dog in the home. Both dogs get 3 walks per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening to ensure they are exercised as well as some off leash play in the yard. For clients, I am attentive to each animals’ needs and respectful of owner requests. It is important for me to get to know your fluffybutt as much as possible in order to provide optimal care.

“Landy is great! Excellent communication and truly cares about my pups. She’s comfortable giving meds and asked great questions that shows she’s on top of it. Also she sent adorable photos of them on the walk! 🐾🦴”

“Jess has been wonderful walking our dog Toby around the neighborhood! Her daily updates truly bring us joy, and Toby always seems happy and relaxed when he gets home. She is also considerate and communicative when schedule changes come up. We're so grateful and happy to highly recommend Jess :)”

“George had a great walk and extra time outdoors while I was out for a full day. Thomas responded to George’s needs as an older dog sensitive to hot weather. He loved getting out for fresh air and I got a lot of cute photos!”

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“We are just thrilled with the care Leo's reliability, kindness, and the care he shows for our dog. I happened to be home when he came by yesterday, and saw that he removed his shoes when he came in. Our family doesn't wear shoes in the house and we have a tray next to the door for shoes, but we never ask or expect guests to remove theirs. Leo is so considerate and observant that he did this on his own. I think this speaks volumes about him. We feel very fortunate to have him caring for Jake.”

About: Dogs bring a sort of warmness no other companion can bring. Since I was 12 years old I took care of my German Shepard while my mom was a away for work.Furthermore, I use to volunteer at animal shelters and assist with feeding and grooming. Since I work too often and have a small apartment, I can not have my pet at this time. Being able to take care of others companion makes me feel as though I am fulfilling my own passion. Bless their paws Bless our hearts. I have three days off from work. I am off from Thursday -Saturday. I am new to the area and have a lot of free time. I live in a downtown area right by the police station. The only service I offer as of now would be dog walking. I currently own no pets

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three family dogs and was the primary caretaker and trainer for my most recent dog, Aiko. Through daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, and playtime, I gained valuable experience understanding the unique needs of different dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, including both small and large breeds. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone keep them company, I will provide attentive, reliable, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. As a college student, I am currently home for the summer and not taking classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available most days and times for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for pets, and I am committed to providing attentive, dependable care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

“We can't recommend her more! For three weeks we needed help during the day to walk our dog and she went well above and beyond not just walking him but also helping to care for him when he got sick. While in no way did we expect that level of kindness we greatly appreciated it. If you need help look no farther!”

“Rachel was awesome with my two dogs. She sent lots of photos and was super helpful cleaning up after one of the pups ate a pillow and left feathers all over the living room.”

About: I was practically raised by wolves lol. Growing up in a Huge Southern Household I’ve had plenty of Paws-on experience with dozens of breeds, all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From HUGE St Bernard’s and German shepherd’s, to Pomeranians and Yorkipoos! I’m a college student on summer break, so the sky is the limit! My schedule is extremely flexible, and I will be happy to discuss that further with you. Unfortunately, I do not offer boarding services at this time. I am familiar and experienced taking precautionary measures to keep your fur baby safe and happy home and in public spaces.

About: My husband and I grew up with dogs and have had a dog together for 8 years. We have experience training dogs and caring for a range of breeds and levels of need. We recently bought a house with a fenced-in yard and figured our dog would like some new friends! We are educators so we work throughout the week until summer break when we will be home throughout the day. We look forward to meeting your pup and caring for them like they’re our own! We are both in education, so we are currently working throughout the week but are free on the weekends or can care for dogs that are used to being home. We do have a dog of our own to keep others company while we are away. During summer break, we will be home all day every day to care for your dog! We have a house in a quiet area with a large fenced-in yard that your dog will love to run around in. We also have a dog of our own who loves to make new friends and play. We have experience as dog owners for 8 years, and we are comfortable with any care needs as a result. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home!
