Dog Walking Indian Village

About: Hi! I recently graduated from Clemson University and am home in NY for the next year. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, turtles, hamsters, frogs, you name it for as long as I can remember. During my time at school, I’ve fostered two dogs from local shelters and loved every minute of it. I want to continue to help in any way I can while I’m home. Plus, who wouldn’t want to spend their free time with animals? I work a typical 9-5 schedule during the week, so I will have to be away from the house during the weekdays. With that being said, I’d love to spend every second of my mornings, evenings & weekends with your pets! I will care for your pets as you see fit. Of course, I would love to spend as much time with them as possible, taking them on walks or drives or even just playing in the house or yard. If your pets are fairly low maintenance, feel free to let me know what you need done and I will do so and then get out of your hair. :)

“Jamie is the BEST! We have a super nervous, occasionally reactive dog, and within two thirty minute walks, she’s my dog’s new best friend. She’s great at recognizing body language of dogs, and is always sure to take pictures of my baby on walks and send them over. She also checked to see what tricks Goose knew, and refreshes them with him on every walk. We’re so glad to have her as part of his weekly routine :)”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Rover is my full time job, so we can work together to fit your pet into my day! Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, we can work out a perfect time to meet you and your pets needs! When I’m caring for pets in their home, I do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely - whether it’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or giving medications. I respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure your pets get lots of love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets and your space are in good hands!

“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”

“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”

About: Hi, I’m Kiera! I know how much pets mean to their families because I’ve been a devoted pet parent myself. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to my own 15-year-old senior pup, so I understand the unique needs of every stage of life. Whether it’s patience and positive reinforcement for young dogs learning the ropes or gentle care and extra TLC for senior pets, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, so I know how to create a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to tailoring my care to their individual needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just good company, I’d love to be their new best friend while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As a lifelong pet lover and current dog parent, I’m always making time for walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Since I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, I’m available outside of those hours for pet care, whether that’s early morning walks, evening visits, or weekend adventures. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, visiting dogs will have a friendly companion, my own 15 year old dog, to keep them company, plus plenty of space to relax and play. I also have a crate available for dogs who need it, whether for comfort, routine, or safety. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and routine as closely as possible to help pets feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure they get the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment where every pet feels right at home!

About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.

“Lara was great with our nervous, little dog. Lacey even felt safe enough with her to do some actual walking. She was on time and worked with our ever changing timeline.”

About: I know how hard it can be to find reliable and trustworthy pet care. I will always be intentional with the care I provide and will never hesitate to go above and beyond as I would want for my pets. I work Monday through Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm. I am fully available all other days and am happy to stay at your house on the days I go to work as well. I have a large fenced in yard that is empty minus a secured shed. We also have a mostly empty dining room for extra space and we allow all pets on all furniture.

“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”

“Michael was awesome. Always on time, provided updates, and wore Diesel out. Haha. Will absolutely use again.”

Stanley D.

“Isaiah was able to come at the last minute to help when our sitter had to take care of a personal matter. Our boys are a handful and they seemed to acclimate to him amazing! Highly recommend!”

Jeff C.

“Fischer had a lot of fun walking with Ashley, she was great to work with and communicated a lot! She was our first dog walker and she made us very comfortable.”

Dawn N.

“Hannah was so prompt and accommodating for us. She is a delight to work with, and you can tell how much she loves dogs. My timid girl went right up to her, and that says a lot! I’m so happy we met Hannah.”

Liza R.

“Taylor is a gem! She was great with my dog (and my kids) during a super-cold, super-snowy Syracuse weekend when I couldn’t get out for walks. She was very communicative and even added an extra walk in between her own work to help me out. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.

About: I have grown up around dogs all my life and each of those dogs has helped me learn as much from them as they did me. I love dogs and it always makes me so happy to be around them! I have helped train my dog as well as my in-laws puppy. I love running, hiking and just love being outdoors; I would be happy to take your dog with me. I will love your dog as if he/she is my own! I will be available from 4-8 during weekdays and any time during the weekend. I work in a school, so once it is summer vacation I will have open availability. I have to dogs of my own. One Riley we adopted during covid. He was born blind. You would never know it though, as he gets around amazing! Another dog named Gus is a rescue! He is such a lover! I look forward to meeting your 4-legged family member(s)! I am a Kindergarten teacher, so in the summers I have more availability. During the school year os harder but I can do my best to accommodate. I have a fenced in yard, however we have an inground pool. No pet will ever be left outside alone. I can also work with your dog to be sure they sre comfortable and safe.

“We had to be away for the day last minute and couldn't take the pup with us. Thankfully, Staci was available! We met for a quick 'meet n greet' ahead of the day. She was able to come a few times during the day/evening for walks and check ins. She was timely and communicative with each one, reassuring to know Clover was in good hands!”

“Anastasia was so great with our dog. She has a great demeanor around him and he was immediately comfortable around her! We would highly recommend her services!”

About: First and foremost, Thank you for your interest into my profile! It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to help partake in care and activities with your special pets of all species and sizes! My goal is to make a lasting career professionally as a Veterinarian Technician in the near future, and in the mean time provide any service's I can to pets and owners in need. 5 years ago I spent some time in Missouri where I helped provide care for kennel dogs for around 6 months, including providing baths, medicine, walks, food, water, playtime, attention and love to all of the dogs. Since then I have returned to Syracuse and have helped care for my 6 year old Jack Russell terroir (Luna) and my 4 year old kitten (Buggsy). Buggsy became apart of my family last summer when a friend discovered 7 kittens in her backyard who needed loving homes. Thankfully, that goal was achieved as all kittens were placed in homes and spayed and neutered (including the neighborhood feral mother and father cats to help stop any kittens being left on the street in the future!) And as time has gone on, my love, patience, and determination to work with animals has only grown. Thank you again for your time! I am available on every other weekend from Friday to Sunday. I get one day off during the week which changes, but it will be marked on my calendar for availability. I am willing and hoping to work with any potential clients schedules. I would like to make sure I can ask for any possible extra information needed to help ensure the best treatment for your animals. Along with that I always check fences/gates before bringing an animal outside in case of other animals or people. I also like to scan the surrounding and verify theirs is no unsafe food or material that the animal could possibly ingest in and out of the home. I also always make sure to check and refill any water or food as necessary and clean up any accidents or trips to the bathroom in or out of the home. And ensuring to lock all doors and secure all gates while entering and exiting the home. I love sending photos and keeping you the parent/owner updated as you wish! Thank you again for your time to look at my profile and I hope we can all be a great match! I am available on most days of the week including Monday to Friday. But I am willing to work weekends if needed! I usually prefer hours anywhere from 10am to 7pm but I am willing to work around that to better fit your schedule if needed! It is very important for me to ask any possible questions on extra information needed to help ensure the best treatment not only for your animals but the safety and care of your home as well. Routinely for each visit I ensure fences/gates and doors to property are properly locked and closed after entering the home and after exiting. Especially before bringing an animal outside in case of other animals or people. I also like to scan the surrounding and verify there is no unsafe food or material that the animal could possibly ingest in and out of the home. As well as locating, cleaning, and properly disposing of any trips outside to the bathroom. It’s also important that I check and refill any water or food to the correct measurement/request of owner as necessary. and clean up any accidents or trips to the bathroom in or out of the home. And ensuring your pet gets as much playtime, pets, and or cuddles as they desire. I know each animal can have very different personalities so I am here to help provide them as much comfort as possible. Whether that be relaxing with some belly rubs or running around and playing catch, I am ready to work with both ends of the spectrum!
