Dog Walking Kiryas Joel

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and enjoy spending time getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience at the local animal shelter with dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and more independent or senior pets. I’m especially mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and exercise needs, and I always aim to provide consistent care that matches what pets are used to at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure each pet feels loved and well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings when needed. I prioritize reliability and make sure I’m fully present during each visit or stay. Whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my time to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and clean environment for every pet in my care. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication needs, and house rules. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I always supervise interactions, ensure doors and gates are secure, and provide constant attention during visits or stays. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being dependable, attentive, and caring at all times.

About: I've been caring for dogs since middle school, including over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, Aubrey. I've also had family, friends, and neighbors rely on me to walk, feed, groom, and care for their pets. Over the years, I've gained experience with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and personalities, including Golden Retrievers, mixed breeds, Yorkshire Terriers, hounds, Chihuahuas, and Corgis. I especially enjoy caring for senior pets and making sure they receive the patience, attention, and affection they deserve. I like spending quality time with them, grooming them, observing their behavior and how they're doing, and making sure they're comfortable and cared for. I've also expanded my experience through volunteer work with Rockland Orange Furrever Homes and the Hudson Valley SPCA, where I've worked with shelter animals and gained additional experience observing animal behavior and providing hands-on care. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a meal, some grooming, companionship, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy making time for walks, play, grooming, companionship, and simply getting to know each pet's personality and routine. I'm able to be flexible with my availability and want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, provide fresh water and meals according to the owner's instructions, and give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I also pay close attention to their behavior and overall condition so I can recognize anything unusual and communicate concerns to their owner. During walks, I use safe handling practices and stay aware of the pet's surroundings, other animals, and potential hazards. I want every pet to feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.

“Alina did great with my dog, Nova! She arrived on time and soothed my worries by taking lots of pictures of Nova, who looked like she was having a great time. She was even amenable to my crazy work schedule and was nothing short of amazing about helping me out last minute two days in a row. Definitely going to request her again in the future! Thank you, Alina!”

About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to Millie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I bring that same hands-on care to every dog I look after. Raising Millie has taught me how much dogs thrive on consistency — reliable potty breaks, patient leash time, and reading their cues. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules and specific dietary needs, and I love a good sniff-led walk that lets a dog explore at their own pace. I’m patient, observant, and treat every dog’s home and routine like my own. Expect close attention to your instructions, thoughtful updates, and a sitter who genuinely loves the work. Looking forward to meeting your dog! 🐾 Pet care is already woven into my everyday routine — I’m home with Millie for feedings, potty breaks, and walks multiple times a day, so caring for a dog on a consistent schedule is second nature to me. I’m happy to build drop-in visits around your dog’s existing routine, whether that means a quick midday potty break or a longer afternoon walk. Since I’m mainly offering drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping things consistent with what your dog already knows — following their regular schedule, feeding routine, and any specific instructions closely. In my own home, I’m hands-on with Millie’s daily care, from meals to sniff-led walks, and I bring that same patience and attention to detail into your home so your dog feels comfortable and looked after.

About: I have been pet sitting since the age of 14. I have looked after animals of all kinds, such as dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, and amphibians. I am comfortable giving medication (outside of injection) and am willing to work with animals of all ages. As we enter the school year I am unavailable for midday drop ins but am available for house sitting or walks after 4pm. This is not my full time position so I will be unavailable from 8am to 4pm. My availability will open up during holiday breaks so keep an eye out for when my availability opens up. I always schedule a meet-and-greet before any care to get to know you and your pets. It helps me ensure I am providing the best care.

“Amy is Fantastic! She is very reliable and always prompt to respond. I had complete confidence in leaving our dog in her care. Highly recommend.”

“Bridget was so accommodating for me even though I booked last minute and there was some complications. She took care of Stella and gave her the much needed potty break. She definitely knows how to handle dogs well and I will definitely book with her again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, but most of my family had dogs, so I have always been around them. This love for animals also got me into the veterinary field, which I have 6 years experience in. I have years of experience walking, handling, and playing with dogs and now have the experience to give oral medications or injections if needed. I currently don’t have any dogs, but I do have 2 cats. During my day I always make sure I wake up early enough to feed them and clean the litter box. After coming home from work, I feed them dinner and spend some time brushing and playing with them. I then clean the litter box before going to bed and repeat the next day. In my home, I have installed screen doors on the entry doors to prevent my cats from escaping but so they also can see the outside activity. I have socket covers to prevent them from playing in it and make sure to cover all wires so they don’t think they are toys.

About: I have a college degree in Animal Science with a concentration in canine care and training. I previously worked for a boarding/daycare facility where I cared for many different dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I have now started my own pet care business where I travel to my clients house.Dogs are my passion and I will love your pet like it is my own. I want to branch off from my current job and do my own thing. I would like to be be available as much as I can. Whether it be a quick check in, 2 hour run, or 1 week stay. I will treat every signal pet as my own. I will love and care for your animal as much as you do!

“Cierra was beyond perfect with watching both of our kids! Very accommodating to our schedule and gave our kids lots of love while we were away.”

About: I have grown up around animals all my life. From guinea pigs, to parakeets, hamsters, and many more. I have experience working in a kennel, and as of now, I have 8 dogs at home and I share a 1 year old puppy with my significant other. I am currently a nanny throughout the week (Monday through Thursday, with the exception to some Friday shifts) but have availability other days for drop ins, walks, feedings, boarding, and other services. My schedule starting this upcoming September will change: Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday: I have availability up until 11:30 am. Wednesday: no availability until after 6 pm. Fridays, and weekends are a first come, first serve. I have a fenced in backyard, I live on a private road with a cul de sac, and if your pet is not well around other animals, they will be in a separate area. I also am totally open to pets laying on my bed and furniture.

About: I’ve been certified as a Vet Assistant, I am also currently in school for my license as a Vet Technician. I’m very confident that I will be a safe environment for your furry friends! I’m currently a student so weekends will be more manageable for me, In case of any emergencies of course I can make accommodations during weekdays.

Professionally my experience would be under a year as I am still in school, I live on 67 acres and a large yard which will give your dog enough room to run with the wind and enjoy the fresh air.
