Dog Walkers in Franklin Depot, NY

“Alivia is great with our dog! The dog is sometimes stubborn about going on walks, but loves hanging out with Alivia! And Alivia is very communicative and professional.”

“Truth be told…she’s my daughter so I may be biased but she has grown up loving animals her entire life. Especially dogs and cats. She grew up with our bichon, Scooby, who has since passed. For 19 years, she showed nothing but love for him. It also taught her a lot about responsibility. When he was an old pup, she was so loving, caring and patient with him to the very end. Pets flock to her wherever she goes. A true animal lover at heart. Your pets would be in great hands with her.”

“I hired Mary Katherine for a 4 day holiday weekend away. I asked if she would stay in my home as my 3 dogs are all over 80lbs (Great Dane, Great Pyranese, and German Shepherd) I have one senior dog, one dog with separation anxiety and one 2 year old who’s very much still an active puppy. Mary Katherine was very inquisitive and came prepared to the meet and greet with lots of questions about her stay which really made me feel optimistic about her respecting home and caring for my babies. Mary Katherine sent me sooo many updates her first day (which was stressful because I was worried about how my anxious child would react on her first 24 hours away from me) which put me at ease. Mary Katherine, thank you so much for playing outside and letting Burt run around and playing with him. I appreciated the videos of fetch so much, Burt loved you so much and misses you already! Mary Katherine is more than welcome in my home the next trip I take- trustworthy and very respectful which is hard to find in someone- especially with my three most cherished possessions.”

“Tarah was wonderful with our dog. She came by regularly, sent us pictures of Obie each time she walked him, and kept us apprised of the few times she slightly changed the schedule. We came home to a happy dog. I would ask her to care for it dog again if needed. Thanks, Tarah.”

“Francine took such good care of my French Bulldog. She sent me daily pictures when I was away! She had a nice fenced in backyard where her two dogs played so well with my dog. I would definitely recommend Francine to watch my dog for me when I need to leave town again.”

“Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.”

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 walking dogs professionally, which quickly became one of my favorite after school activities. I’ve also had the incredible opportunity to work at an animal sanctuary where I was able to expand on my skills and really put them to the test. My love for all animals drives me to provide the best care for every pet I meet! I'm accepting new clients and have a lot of availability right now. Caring for your beloved pets brings me joy and I would love to have the opportunity to help. 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.

“Kirsten is the definition of compassion. Her love for all animals is incredible. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs and animal care. She will care for any animals as if they’re her own.”

“Stacy is a very responsible pet owner and caregiver. I have had her watch my animals when I've gone away and have had no worries about them receiving the care they need! She loves animals and has even raised seeing eye puppies. She is familiar and comfortable with a wide array of pets.”

“My German Shepard would pull so hard during walks that it was dangerous for my wife. I didn't know what to do so I bought a choke leash but that still didn't work. But one weekend with Steve watching him he was able to train my dog to walk by my side with positive commands. Never any tugging on the leash at all, it was amazing and unbelieving the change so quickly.”

About: A long time dog owner myself I am looking to walk and care for dogs as a side job. I love bonding and having fun with animals. I like to be very attentive to their needs, wellbeing, and happiness. I have completed 3 years of an animals science BS degree before I could no longer continue due to medical issues, but plan to return soon! I have grown up with animals, especially dogs, and have handled, walked, groomed, trained, and cared for many more. I love to teach them how to have fun. We currently have a dog in our household, her name is Gracie-Mae and she is a dachshund. I also own a ferret myself. I’m really excited to be able to work with you and your furry children. I plan on working another job while having this one be part-time. I will be available on weekends so far for my services. I may work other days depending on my availability. I can only come to your home, but I am available for a wide range of services. I can play, brush, clip nails, walk, bathe, give meds, watch, feed and water, and clean ears. I also will look after cats with similar services.

“Dylan is a very caring person who is excellent with animals, in particular dogs. I’ve also worked with Dylan for many years. He is smart, responsible, punctual, and one of the hardest working people I know. As a dog lover myself, I know my dog would be in safe hands with Dylan.”

“I've known Kevin for many many yrs and have always known him to have a special place in his soul and heart for ALL animals! In the past he has watched my dog and has gone out of his way to help. Kevin is very affectionate and attentive to not only his own pets but everyone else's too. I would not hesitate again to ask for his expertise in watching my best friend, Marvel who was born deaf. I give Kevin a 5⭐ rating!”

“We are looking forward to booking Elizabeth again! She responded quickly to a last minute booking and was prompt with all communication. We could tell from her walk photos and description that our dog had a great time!”

About: I’ve always had pets in my household since I was little but have been actively caring for them since about 16, house/pet sitting for neighbors& friends, etc. I would love to take care of and watch your fur baby as if they were my own! I’m currently a nursing student working part time so my current job only takes my time away a few times a week and I’m always available after 3. Most days I’m available all day however, and in house pet sitting is always available!! I have a decent sized yard for your pet to play in and also have to fur babies of my own to keep yours socially entertained! And I’m able to crate any dog as needed! Or separate if they don’t get along well with others.

“Can't go wrong with this dog walker! She has earned her title as a pack leader. If she can handle my strong stubborn Akita she can handle any dog. Treats your furbaby as if it were her own. Never feel anxious or worried about leaving your dog in her care.”
