Dog Walking Gardnertown

About: I have 3 dogs of my own and I have always been an animal lover. I also love to exercise so dog walking is perfect for me. I have trained my dogs to understand their basic commands and they have excelled. I also am a volunteer at the animal shelter so I have worked with all kinds of dogs throughout different ages. I work from 9-4 Monday-Friday which would allow for me to do the later shifts when walking or watching a dog. On the Weekends I am available all day usually because that is my time off from my Daycare Job. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, my top priority is ensuring their safety and comfort within a familiar, stress-free environment. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walk schedules, and preferred play or rest habits, to maintain consistency and reduce anxiety. I take the time to understand the layout of the home and make sure any potentially hazardous items—like loose wires, open trash bins, or accessible medications—are safely out of reach. I always double-check that doors, gates, and fences are secure before and after outdoor time. When walking, I use only the client-approved leashes, harnesses, or other safety gear and avoid unfamiliar or overly busy areas unless instructed otherwise. I also keep a close eye on the dog’s behavior and body language to quickly catch signs of stress or discomfort. Clear communication with the owner is essential—I provide regular updates and follow all instructions carefully, including dietary needs and any medications. My goal is to ensure every dog feels safe, secure, and loved in the comfort of their own home.

“Our Lucy loves Christina! She asked great questions and got to know her personality very quickly. Lucy is looking forward to more walks with her.”

About: I have 3 dogs from ages 1 to 13, so I’m experienced with everything from puppy training to senior care—every dog gets personalized love . Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. As the owner of Daisy Pet Spa, I spend my days caring for dogs and making their comfort and well-being my priority. At home, I also have three dogs of my own, so my daily routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of one-on-one attention. I only take on a manageable number of bookings so every pet receives the time, patience, and personalized attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they have a safe space to relax. I treat every pet like one of my own and respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: Hi there.. I have always owned a dog in my life. I have worked at an animal shelter for 2 1/2 years taking care of the dogs. I have been around most breeds and personality types. I am calm and patient around dogs and know how to read their body language. But I also love to be goofy and playful with them when the environment is right. I believe every dog is an individual and what might work for one dog won’t always work for another. I have some dog training under my belt from working with other trainers and taking classes but I’m not certified yet. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! I am currently working part time at an animal shelter so I have plenty of time to dedicate to working with your pups! I currently only offer dog walking and stop ins but will eventually start boarding. I currently don’t offer boarding but I will eventually! At a client’s home I’ll make to gather all the details from the owner to ensure an easy transition for both them and their animals. The last thing I want is an owner to worry while they’re away! I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own.

“Jordan is amazing. She is communicative and I can tell our nervous little pup really trusts her and enjoys being with her. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Kalyna, did an amazing job with bishop while I was away for the holidays. She is reliable and great with dogs. If you haven’t booked her yet. You need to stop thinking and BOOK HER NOW!!”

“Thank you for the summary! I am glad the kids had fun. I should have warned you that King loves to sit on your lap and lick your face. Thank you for checking their water level. The tank twists off but it's hard to refill if there is water in it.”

“Daniela was quick to respond and it was easy to organize at short notice for her to visit to walk and feed my dog while I was away for the day.”

Murray C.

“Lex is wonderful. It was my first time using a dog walker and she came over to do a meet and greet beforehand to put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her!”

“Samantha was amazing and arrived right on time. She got along with my pup immediately. Definitely recommend!”

“Rebecca is absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and honestly the best dog walker/sitter we have ever had by a wide margin. Her experience and love of animals makes her extremely adaptable, down to the smallest details. Most of all I know that our pups feel loved and safe with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Jennifer S.

“If you need a dog sitter or somebody to care for your animals Katiyle D is ho you would what! She let me know what was going on with my dogs. And for me that's what I wanted .”

Linda P.

“I am so happy I found Jasmine - she was so communicative and came to visit Sherlock before his first walk with her on the same day. This gave me total peace of mind. She spent time with Sherlock, walked him and kept me in the loop when she finished. She is lovely, easy to work with and most importantly, Sherlock took to her immediately!”

About: Hi, my name is Vicky! In 2017 I graduated with a degree in animal sciences from OSU where I volunteered in the ICU and have many years of experience in dog walking and training. Previously, I have worked for family and friends but now I’m looking to expand and work with more owners and their pups! Right now I’m available most week days and weekends to walk or watch your your pet, along with taking care of my own furry babies. At home I have two rescues - a 9 year old Catahoula Leopard Dog named Telly and a 12 year old kitty that runs the house. In my free time I enjoy taking Telly swimming and going backpacking around the country. I’m excited to start working with Rover and am looking forward to meeting your dog! I’m currently working from home and have flexibility in my schedule as needed. Although I have listed my availability, please reach out if your needs are outside of the provided timeframes and I will check if I have flexibility in my schedule. I am always very aware of pet safety and boundaries. As my own dog had issues counter surfing when she was first adopted, I am very conscientious of keeping food and important items out of reach of needed.
