Dog Walking in Irondequoit

“Rico is great and my GSD loves him! He gets sad when he leaves. He is helping exercise him and work his brain and body to hopefully be less reactive in the world.”

About: I have had two dogs in my life, both with completely different personalities. I also don’t scare easily, and am good at reading an animal’s body language. PLEASE READ: I currently working a full time job Monday-Friday 2:00 pm to 10:30 pm, and I am looking for a part time side hustle. Unless I am out of town, I can take care of your beloved fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them😁❤️ They are always fed by a specific time, and I always make sure they have some sort of play/walk time along with mental stimulation if possible.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I am hoping I can help with yours. I have a dog who is 11 who needs daily medication, so if that's you, I have you covered. I can help most while my big is at school, but I can flex if you need a specific time. I am happy to offer to walking, checkins, feeding and medication I am a SAHM for a 20 month old, so I can drop by most times, just let me know what you need from me. As I mentioned, I am no steanger to medication, not averse to the yuck stuff, I have my own kids. I have walked all kinds of dogs for years, both as a volunteer and at home.

“Madeline was fantastic! Kind and timely.”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born really my father always and still has 2 dogs which I help with as well still, I have dog sat numerous times two Boston terriers and two cats for a lovely family I currently have complete open availability that includes weekends as well. Taking some time off from work and sitting home doing gets boring really quick and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time then to hangout with some animals 🤗 My house wouldn’t be suitable for housing pets due to having my own and it’s a shared house with my sister and her children as well

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While i love the little guys, i also am more than capable of handling the "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harness, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether its's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park, (two of my dog's favorites) I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"-I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. I pride myself on being punctual and highly communicative. You can expect plenty of updates and photos of our adventures. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own, prioritizing their safety above all else. I am comfortable administering first aid or any medications if ever needed. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...

About: I have been taking care of many dogs over the years and have handled up to four dogs at once. I have more experience in handling larger dogs but have taken care of minimal small dogs. I have also taken care of dogs of almost all ages except for senior dogs Currently i work full time at my job. My hours consist of 10 hour shifts so i’d be out around 3:30-4pm and typically have 1-2 days off during week time and would be happy to come hang out with the fur babies after work At home I do have a fenced in yard so if I needed to bring the dog home I could. However i do have two cats inside who aren’t super fans of dogs so I wouldn’t be able to bring the dog inside. I am more than willing to hang out at your home and crate if needed.

“Alex was timely with his dog walks and was always sure to send updates and pictures! He doesn’t leave until your dog is comfortable! Thank you Alex!”

“Jessica is so sweet and patient with my pup who struggles with separation anxiety on his walks. I am so grateful for her kindness with him! ☺️”

About: 18 years of dog/cat sitting experience who has a deep love for all animals. We treat every pet like they are our own. Guaranteed they leave happy every time! We take every dog we watch for at least one long walk daily (If they are able), and can adjust as needed based on your preferences. We have a very open and accommodating schedule. Your pet will never be left alone all day! Melissa and I make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. We have fenced in yard with a good amount of space for dogs to run and have a 4 year old yellow lab who loves to play and will help get energy out. She has the awareness to pull back if other dogs don’t want to play with her. We have a 7 year old cat who will typically hide upstairs in her room while new animals are over. Luna is friendly when she comes around. I have a long time girlfriend Melissa, who lives with me and will be helping out.

“Kathleen is excellent with our 100lb dog, Raya! She always takes her picture and is excellent with communicating with us! Even our kids like to say hi to Kathleen when she comes. Thank you for being a great help to our family.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, ranging from a tiny Japanese chin to a 160lb French mastiff. I’ve always been an active participant in caring for family pets. I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as those of my relatives and loved all of them. I currently own a French mastiff and take care of him daily. Walks, feeding, playing, bathing, I do it all for him. I also managed his medications when he got sick earlier in the year. I do not offer services in my house, however I will care for your pet in your home and follow whatever rules and guidelines are set. I understand every dog and every home is different and will provide the best experience for both the pets and humans.

“Jessica was great! She was punctual and followed West’s care instructions to the tee. Would highly recommend and will book her again!”

About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.

“Not only is Lindee wonderful with my dog. but she is also incredibly accommodating! I have had a crazy work schedule recently and have needed to make numerous last minute changes to scheduled visits- Lindee always goes out of her way to be there for my dog and me!”

“Mo loves Rebecca! She gets so excited when it's time for her walk and comes back so happy (and tired!). Rebecca is dependable, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello there ! My name is Grace and I am 25 years old living in Rochester NY and love all animals! I worked for Lollipop farm for about a year as an adoption counselor but decided to part ways with the career as I’ve found other hobbies. But since then I’ve always found my way back with fostering and animal sitting for friends and family. I’d love to extend the love to your furry friend too! I can’t wait to meet your animals and give them all the love! So I work full time right now but the hours aren’t the same each week but I’m always free before 9AM and the latest 9PM. So it all depends on the animals needs. I try to have them get use to my scent first, give them attention, and make sure to ask the owner as many questions as needed to make the situation easier for the animal. Since I would be someone new.

About: Certainly a lover of all animals, but I'm mostly definitely a dog person!! I have cared for my own jack russell for the past several years, but had to leave her with my parents since my original apartment did not allow pets. Now, however, I’m in a pet friendly area and have my own pit mix named Buddy! He is a rescue so new introductions need to move slowly, but once he gets to know you he will love you unconditionally! We are looking for a walker to come between 11:30-1 on weekdays to walk him for a half hour. I’m happy to do a run through walk with you to make sure you’re comfortable and ready to take on The Bud Man. Let me know if you’re interested! I work full time as a teacher but am available mid-late afternoons, weekends and holidays. For summer I am looking for full time dog care jobs! I typically don’t have my dog around other dogs for safety precautions. Depending on the clients preferences, I can frequently let your pets out for potty breaks, take them out on leashes during potty breaks, feed them, administer medical care as needed, and give them lots of loving.
