Dog Walkers in Haverstraw, NY

About: What sets me apart is how deeply I care about your dog’s emotional experience when you’re not there. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and my intention is always to create a sense of calm, safety, and genuine love. I pay close attention to their energy, their needs, and their comfort, so they never feel anxious or alone. With my background working with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and as a veterinary nurse, I bring both intuition and experience to every interaction, whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a gentle senior. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I already live a structured, active lifestyle centered around consistency and responsibility. I walk my own dog multiple times a day and spend time outdoors on local trails and along the Hudson River. I plan my schedule intentionally, which allows me to be reliable, punctual, and fully present for each dog I care for. This is not something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and build my day around. I care for every dog as if they were my own, with a strong focus on making them feel safe, calm, and loved in their environment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I follow their routine closely so nothing feels unfamiliar or stressful. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort, and adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. I keep communication open with owners so they always feel at ease, knowing their dog is not just being watched, but truly cared for.

“Highly recommended! Amazing and responsible dog walker/sitter. You can feel comfortable and know it’s all covered with Kathleen! I will be requesting her again. And I highly recommend her.”

“Lauren is the best dog walker we’ve ever had. She was punctual, flexible, a great communicator and just an overall pleasure to work with. She walked my 80 lb boxer regularly for a few months and I would book her again in a heart beat. Look no further for a better dog walker!”

About: I have professionally walked dogs for over 17 years. I was a receptionist for an Animal Hospital and have training for animals with special needs or require daily medications. I have many years experience owning and caring for a wide variety of animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, bearded dragons, chickens, just to name a few. I really love helping people with their pets. Sometimes with a little training when necessary or minor healthcare issues. I also have experience with pregnant and nursing dogs. I offer puppy daycare and training. I have helped desperate owners keep their pets when the issues become serious problems. Sometimes just a few lessons about routine and consistency solve everything. I will take care of your baby like he/she is my own. How does pet care for into my daily routine? This is an odd question, anyone with a pet knows what the daily routine would be. Pet care varies from pet to pet but how I would care for anyones pet is how I would expect anyone to care for their own pets. Usually any pet I care for becomes bonded to me.

“April has been walking our dog for us consistently and she has been nothing short of amazing! She is reliable, kind, and communicative. Our pup loves going out on his walks with her and she has been such a help for our family. Would highly recommend!”
