Dog Walkers in Irving, NY

About: What sets me apart is my combination of professional experience, hands-on training knowledge, and truly individualized care. I previously worked as a veterinary technician, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with a wide range of needs, including safely administering medications and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. Beyond that, I have personal experience training dogs, including puppies, so I can reinforce good habits, basic commands, and positive behaviors while they’re in my care. I’m also attentive to senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or specialized support. Most importantly, I take the time to really get to know each dog—their personality, quirks, energy level, and what makes them feel safe and happy. Whether your dog thrives on physical activity, needs mental stimulation, or just wants extra love and reassurance, I adjust my care to fit them. I live in a home with a large yard and use long leads to give dogs the freedom to safely sniff, explore, and enjoy their environment at their own pace. My goal is always to create a calm, enriching, and loving experience so your dog feels completely at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work on my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and attentive to each dog in my care. I’m able to plan my day around their needs—whether that means regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or just spending quality time with them. Because of this flexibility, I’m not rushing in and out or trying to squeeze care into a busy schedule. I can provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day, making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is always their safety and comfort. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with the utmost love, patience, and responsibility. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest, and I make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity, mental stimulation, and affection based on their individual needs. My yard allows for safe outdoor time, and I’m always attentive and supervising. In a client’s home, I respect your pet’s established routine to help them feel as comfortable as possible in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely, keep their environment clean and safe, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away. No matter the setting, I focus on building trust, paying attention to each pet’s unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.

About: Ever since I was born my family always had lots of pets! I’ve taken care of all different breeds of dogs and cats. I care for all of my family’s pets when they’re away. I am a very easy going person who just loves animals and am a good care taker! I’m currently going to school for nursing and I am working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets! I love spending time with animals so this is a great fit for me I currently have 2 cats, Knox and Mako. Knox is as sweet as can be and mako is just a kitten still but she’s a cuddle bug.

About: I've been lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs. One was a sweet 11-year-old deaf golden retriever that I adopted, and my first dog was a German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy until her sad passing. So, I definitely have plenty of puppy experience. For over a year now, I've been a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, working with several wonderful clients and their furry friends. I always make sure to treat the pets in my care just like my own. I pet sit and dog walk full-time. Potty breaks are no more than 2 hours apart. I am not gone often outside of the home. I really enjoy taking the dogs outside to play every couple of hours. I make sure to feed them twice a day with half portions so they can eat more slowly, unless the owner has different instructions. My home is always neat and welcoming, and I use cozy couch covers so the pets can feel comfortable and free to relax on the couch. Walking dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I can happily handle up to three at a time. It’s a wonderful way for both me and the pups to get some good exercise. I also have a medium-sized, fenced yard where we enjoy playing fetch and taking the dogs for potty breaks. This way, the dogs stay active and are happily tired out when it’s time to go home. While I don’t do house sitting, I always make sure everything is tidy during check-ins, and I take care of the litter, food, and water to keep things comfortable for everyone.

“Once again, Jessica was fantastic! We are so happy we booked her to watch our 16 year old dog. She sent daily photos, updates, and was easy to communicate with. Jessica made sure to give our old pup her meds every day, and gave her extra love. Neela was very happy and comfortable in our own home. We were so pleased. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I was a barn manager and had 12 horses and 21 acres along with many other farm animals. I have experience taking care of all animals, giving meds, feeding, walking and just over all comfort while a pet parent is gone. I work nights so when you are gone during the day and 8 hours is too long for your pup to be alone and just need to stretch their legs I can get them out for some play time or just some potty breaks I have lots of experience with many demeanors of animals. I have a very reactive dog and a very gentle loving dog myself. I can do lots of positive reinforcement with a reactive dog on a walk.
