Dog Walkers in Horseheads, NY

About: I have been surrounded by animals, primarily dogs, throughout my entire life. I would say that once I reached about high school age is when I understood the kinds of responsibilities that go into pet care. Not only have I been responsible for the dogs I've owned growing up, but I've helped take care of family and friends' animals throughout the years as well. I walk my two dogs, Coco and Finnley, at least twice a day. I always carry plenty of dog waste bags on me, so I'm definitely not afraid to get dirty! That being said, I can bathe your pet if needed with provided supplies. And while dogs may be my favorite, I am a very big animal enthusiast. I've had just as many, if not more, cats in my life as dogs while growing up, and my family and I rescued our bearded dragon Olivia, whom we've learned a lot about when it comes to the tlc she needs. I work part-time as a teacher's assistant, but my schedule is quite flexible! I'll just need to be notified in advance when you would need me to stop by, preferably a few days in advance. If I happen to be working on a day you need me, I can drop by as soon as possible, so around late afternoon. I am almost always available on the weekends! I mostly deal with walking dogs, however I can do the occasional drop-by if needed. My own dogs have a fenced in area that I let them into about every hour to relieve themselves, and depending on the weather, they stay outside for around 10-15, of course while keeping a close eye on them. I am more then willing to do the same for your pet if you too have a fenced in yard. Just give me any extra details if necessary and I'm more than happy to help!

About: I work full time as a veterinary technician and enjoy the pet sitting world as well! If your pet has special needs you can be assured that I can handle giving medications as needed! I also offer nail trim and anal gland expression services. I love all animals, including exotics and would love a chance to get to know your loved ones at home! I also take care of farm animals. So from pocket pets to your outdoor pets I will take care of them all! If my services sound like something that fit for you don’t hesitate to contact me! I look forward to meeting you and your loved companions! I am currently on maternity leave with my beautiful son Forest, and I’m home full-time, so your pets will be loved all day while they stay with me I have loving pups that your pets can enjoy the company of while they stay with me. They’ll always have company and endless play dates!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. I have helped take care of my friends and family’s pets for years. Now that I’m an empty nester I thought taking care of your fur babies would be a great way to fill my new found extra time and make some extra $ to help my college kids. I am self employed and have a flexible schedule, so that I am able to make sure your fur babies are properly taken care of. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur babies as per your request to make sure they feel safe and loved in your absence.

About: I have always lived in a home full of cats, dogs, hamsters and guinea pigs. Since I was old enough to stay home by myself, I was old enough for pet duty. This year my two childhood dogs passed away so I would love to enjoy the love and warmth that other peoples pets bring. Aside from teaching, I have also nannied therefore i used to working with others schedules/rules and expectations. I am a teacher at Schuyler Head Start. Being employed in education gives me the luxury of having summers off so I have loads of free time to spend with your pets! I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, with a spacious two bedroom apartment. I will be able to walk dogs at least four times daily and have a spot for a litter box. I have my own puppy pads and doggy bags in case of accidents or pups in training.

About: I've loved caring for pets for family and friends over the years. Moved away from home so looking to keep that same experience around here. I'm generally off on Sundays and Mondays for work, and live close enough for potty breaks and I make my own schedule if enough notice is given. I have a fenced in yard which has been home to dogs the size of a Great Pyrenees down to a Yorkshire Terrier before. The home is large enough for multiple pets to have their space.

“Kelli took great care of my pups! She really cares about what they like and what you might be working on with them. She definitely was a big help to me and with text and picture updates my mind was at ease!”

“Angela was totally amazing. This was my first time trusting anyone other than family with my babies and Angela made it so easy. She communicated with me daily sending pictures and updates and my dogs loved her. I will definitely be asking her to come again in the future.”

About: I have been house sitting/pet sitting since I was 14 years old. I am very reliable and have a flexible working schedule aside from Rover. Pet sitting from me will encourage your animals to still feel loved when you can't be there and decrease their loneliness when you are away. I will make sure your animals are in the absolute best care :) I currently work part time and am blessed to make my own schedule. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and most holidays. Saturdays I am unavailable for the entire day but can still check in with your pets in the morning and evening! I also make my schedule for my other job two weeks in advance and can work around your schedule to the best of my ability. I currently have my own dog and two cats and would love your animals (almost) as much as mine. I understand some pets may have special needs and I am willing to offer this as well as understanding some animals need more love than others and that is no problem. I can feed, water, walk, play, administer medication, love on your animals, etc.

“Jezel is the most thoughtful and caring petsitter. I feel so good knowing she is taking care of Barney when we are away. She is also wonderful with taking care of our home - bringing in mail, watering plants and feeding the outside birds for us. I highly recommend her!”

I have also cared for others pet for weeks to months at a time. I currently have two dogs of my own and understand that it is concerning being away from them at times, and would want the upmost care for them.

About: I’ve pet sat for family members but I’ve also and still currently pet sit for previous teachers. I’ve done an internship at a vet clinic. I completed boces which made me a certified veterinary assistant. I worked at the SPCA while finishing up college. Volunteered at Tanglewood Nature Center. Depending on my work schedule I spend as much time as possible outside of work with your pets. I don’t leave them alone for long at all. I’m easy going, my dog gets crated when I’m not home. I will make sure nothing is sitting out that could potentially harm an animal

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 5+ years of experience pet and house sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for everything from large, energetic dogs to laid back cats.

I'm also comfortable caring for reptiles, rodents, and fish (within reason) I’m a recent college graduate with my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. While I do navigate some chronic health issues, I’m committed to providing attentive, compassionate care. I especially enjoy creating DIY toys and enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy while you're away. Whether you're looking for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’d love to help your pets feel safe, loved, and at ease in their own home! My current schedule is very flexible, as I spend most of my day tending to my health and home. I typically have semi-frequent doctor appointments, but they are planned well in advance, which allows me to coordinate are schedules easily I prefer to care for your fur babies in their own home. I can provide drop-in visits or overnight care. I am a laid-back person and will provide lots of love and attention during visits.

About: I’ve been a pet care taker for 10 years off and on. I’ve had pets all my life. I work from home so they’re never alone for long! I work from home so I am able to play with the animals frequently and let them go outside to potty. They love the all day attention! I have lots of treats to offer and I’m always buying new toys for them. We always have fresh water and feeding is morning and evening.

“Super easy to work with and great with dogs”

About: Having grown up in a family that had five dogs at once, I've gained extensive experience in pet care. It has taught me the importance of patience and love when it comes to looking after our furry friends, young and old. Additionally, I've often helped out friends by letting their dogs out and spending time with them when needed. These experiences have helped to ensure that every dog in my care feels loved and well-cared for. I am currently working part-time this summer, but I can be sure to find time to help you out and make your fur baby’s day! I will make sure your dog is fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention! If they need special care, such as dietary, mobility, emotional, senior dog care, etc. I will be happy to help!

About: I have loved and worked with animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had pets in my house until now and would love to be able to help someone out while also spending time with their best furry friend(s). I love walking and being outside just as much as I love animals so your pets will definitely get the exercise that they need while still being carefully cared for and loved of course. As far as experience goes, I have always had at least one dog and cat in my home for the full 22 Years I have been alive. I have volunteered and worked on farms and in other animal care facilities with various animals and pets. I have watched others pets in their homes as well as mine numerous times and am always looking for new opportunities to meet and get to know more pets. I am currently unemployed besides doing care for Rover so my schedule is pretty much open. I love animals and caring for them as well as making sure they're happy. I like to make sure the environment I'm in, is at the very least, comfortable for everyone. I am highly animal friendly and love all types of animals.

“This was our first time using Lillian and we will definitely use her again. She was punctual and followed our directions for care and walks. Sadie enjoyed Lillian too, as evidenced by her waiting by the door for Lillian each time! Five stars for sure!”
