Dog Walking Irvington

About: I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I have experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment. I know that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply giving your pet companionship, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, happy, and confident while you’re away. As a dedicated pet lover, I structure my daily routine around ensuring the dogs in my care receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of mental stimulation. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I can easily adapt to your pup's regular feeding, walking, and nap schedules without disruption. With 8 years of personal experience raising my own dogs—including a Havanese for 6 years and a dachshund, schnauzer mix for 8 years—I am deeply familiar with managing daily feeding routines and bathroom schedules. I provide a safe, reliable environment by sticking strictly to your instructions, keeping a watchful eye on your pet, and maintaining a predictable, stress-free routine while you are away.

“I had such a great experience with Skye’s walk! The service was attentive and thoughtful from start to finish. Skye came back happy, calm, and well-exercised, and I could tell she was cared for with patience and attention to detail. I really appreciated the updates and the way her needs were prioritized. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been a devoted pet caregiver for 9 years, caring for cats, rabbits, and hamsters with love and patience. Over the past year, I've also gained hands-on experience raising my own energetic Border Collie, who is now 10 months old and about 44 lbs. Through daily training, walks, playtime, and caring for a high-energy puppy, I've developed a deeper understanding of dogs' physical and emotional needs. I know that every pet has a unique personality. Whether your pet is playful, energetic, shy, or senior, I always provide patient, attentive, and personalized care to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I also enjoy sending detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I'm currently an MBA student and have just completed my first year. During summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to your pets. During the school year, my classes are primarily in the evenings, allowing me to continue providing reliable daytime care with minimal scheduling conflicts. Because I currently rent my home, I'm unable to offer boarding services. However, I'd be happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since my MBA program starts in mid-August and all my classes are in the evenings, I currently have a flexible schedule during the day. This allows me to dedicate ample time to new opportunities, projects, or commitments without scheduling conflicts. I’m available throughout the daytime and can easily adapt to different time zones or urgent tasks while attending evening classes. I currently rent my home and am unable to offer boarding services at my place. However, I am happy to provide loving and attentive pet care by visiting your home for drop-in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their own environment, and I’m dedicated to making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.

I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life, including puppies and senior dogs, so I know how to adjust to different energy levels and needs. I'm an animal lover to my core.

About: I have 9 years of hands-on animal rescue experience including fostering, TNR work and caring for pets from outdoor rescues. Through this volunteer work and my unconditional genuine love for all animals, I’ve learned to be patient, observant, and gentle, giving each animal the time and care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make sure I have the time and flexibility to give each pet my full attention. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and unhurried visits so pets feel relaxed and well cared for. I’m especially comfortable caring for rescue pets and understand that trust can take time, so I always move at each pet’s pace and respect their individual boundaries.

“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”

“Alani is hands down one of the nicest people I have met in a while, and my two dogs fell completely in love with her! I broke my leg while my husband was out of town and was unable to walk my dogs and she literally came to my rescue. She is punctual, communicative, trustworthy, and really went the extra mile to help me. Thanks Alani! -Max, Butters, & Lana.”

“Nancy is simply amazing — truly a beautiful soul. While we were away for three weeks, she took exceptional care of our German Shepherd and gave us complete peace of mind. She consistently went above and beyond, and even took the time to help my mother with our elderly dog as well. We feel incredibly fortunate and blessed to have found Nancy. I sincerely appreciate everything she has done for our family and cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.”
