Dog Walking Knollcreek

About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

About: I've lived on a small farm since I was 10 where I've bathed, fed, and cared for multiple dogs, cats, chickens, goats and a bunny. Including puppies and kittens. Friends and family have relied on me to pet sit, provide grooming, medications, walks, and feed their pets. Often times stray animals will make their way into our yard and if they are injured, I'll care for them, feed them and foster them until I can identify their owners. I love all animals and consider each and every one of my pets as family. I am available during the morning and evenings on the weekdays, weekends, and on most holidays to care for your fur baby! At minimum, I spend an hour each visit to ensure your pet(s) are fed, clean, has had time to play and overall gets plenty of love and attention. In your home, I respect and take care of the home and pet(s) as if they were my own. I create a fun, safe and comfortable space for both the owner and pet(s) as I continuously provide updates and/or photos of the pet(s) to the owners during each visit. Depending on the rules from the pet owner, at night I will ensure the pet(s) do get crated and are inside and safe for bedtime and dinner.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Policies: $15 late fee on drop offs and pickups over 30 minutes past the agreed upon time (unless previously discussed) Please reach out if you need to change the schedule. Thank you! I currently work as a freelance software developer, so I have a flexible schedule with open availability for pet care. This gives me the ability to provide reliable, consistent care and be available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week. During walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, monitoring the environment, and making sure pets have fresh water and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and enjoyable while treating every pet like my own.

“Russell is always on time and the moment my puppies met him they loved him! He’s accommodating to requests and always makes sure to let me know any changes. I’m happy to have him as the regular walker for my pups!”

“Here's the thing...Mandy is awesome! She wanted to do a Meet and Greet with our pup, before setting up a walking appointment. Our Border Collie is a shy girl when it comes to strangers. Mandy came in and sat on the floor, being patient and letting our dog come to her. After maybe 2 minutes our pup was best friends with her lol. Our pup kept getting Mandy to play tug, and throw her toy. It was so funny and cute. She didn't want to just take our money. She wanted to make sure she was a good fit for our dog, before committing to a walk. That's pretty cool. After taking our pup on a walk she always makes sure there's water in the bowl before she leaves. Mandy is very organized and professional! I would 100% recommend her.”

About: With me your pet will be safe, because I take care of them like my children, I give them all the love in the world because I have great patience with them, I treat them like my own family members and my experience in caring for pets has helped me provide all kinds of quality care; I have also learned to medicate them both orally and intramuscularly, I have dealt with disabled pets who must be given the love and patience with which they are treated; In short, I assure you that with me your pet will be another son for me. I take care of pets not only as a job, but also as entertainment, a personal enjoyment because taking care of pets is more than a job, it is a great enjoyment for me. I take care of pets in my clients' homes and other times on walks in the parks, I respect the privacy of my clients, their tastes and preferences and when I am in the parks I take equal care of the privacy of my clients' pets and that of the others that I may meet on the walk.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always helped care for family pets, including feeding, walking, bathing, and giving them lots of attention and love. I’ve also pet sat for my cousin’s dog and cat, where I was responsible for their daily routines, walks, feeding, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owner was away. I’m very patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine and make them feel safe in a new environment. I’m comfortable with different dog sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I always make sure pets get the care, exercise, and affection they need. I have a flexible schedule (work remotely) and can be available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week. I’m especially available during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with your pet’s specific routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure pets feel secure and cared for in their own home. I’m attentive on walks, aware of my surroundings, and experienced navigating busy NYC streets safely with dogs. I’ll treat your home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I have always loved dogs (and all animals really). I pet sit for my siblings and parents frequently which has included 5 different size, personalities, and needs all at once. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love and hope get the chance to treat your babies like they were my own! I have a pet rabbit that lives in a cage and gets along with dogs well. If you’re dog is not a fan they can be easily separated in different rooms. I’m new to the area so I have a lot of free time on my hands and would like to get to know the city better as well. Like I said, I never met a dog I didn’t like and will treat yours like my own!

“Always goes above and beyond to make sure he can fit their schedule with mine. Very much appreciate Matthew’s help. Reliable is an understatement.”

About: Hi, I’m Destini! Caring for dogs has always been a standard part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so I'm well-versed in handling different personalities, energy levels, and daily care needs. ​For a long time, I’ve been the go-to dog walker and sitter for my cousins and extended family whenever they need a hand or head out of town. Because I already love spending my free time taking care of pups, I decided to offer my services on Rover to help other busy dog owners in our community! P.S. For safety, a companion joins me for all first visits. ​I work a flexible 8-hour schedule from Monday to Friday, which allows me to easily prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day. Whether it requires waking up early for a morning walk or offering dedicated care late at night, I always make sure your fur baby gets full attention, affection, and timely care. For drop-in visits, I follow all feeding, medication, and playtime instructions to the letter, ensuring your home stays secure when I leave. For walks, I use sturdy leashes/harnesses, stick to safe routes, keep a close eye on weather conditions, and never allow interaction with unfamiliar dogs. You will always receive detailed updates and photo reports after every visit!

“Christiana is so fun! My dog is so excited to see her and is literally bursting with excitement when she knows their walk is coming up. 10 outta 10”

“Cassi is amazing ! I am pretty picky when it comes to walking my puppy a certain way and she didn't hesitate to take the time to learn the different cues and commands I use so that she can help reinforce his training while on walks with her. She kept me updated throughout the visit and I was at ease knowing my baby was in good hands while I was away.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with big dogs- Rottweilers, blue heelers and pit bulls. Over the 2022 summer, I potty trained 2 Great Dane puppies, I also taught them how to sit, stay, and overall manners. I love animals and truly enjoy having them around. I do online college. I prefer to do payments privately due to Rover taking 20% of profits. WHEN PAYING PRIVATELY: it’s 30 per night, additional dogs it’s $18 (per dog), For cats it’s $10 per night, each cat is additional $7 dollars. (I have a photos of the fees rover takes out on my gallery) I care for my own dogs, she is a 6 years old American stafforshire terrier. I feed her, take her to the dog park, walk her, bathe her, and overall care for her. I make sure the dogs I’m caring for are let out when needed, I play with them as much as I can, and I feed them when they are scheduled to be fed. I love playing with dogs so I’d play with them and take them out on walks.

“Faith stuck with my stubborn girl who initially refused to go on a walk. She won the battle of wills and also my dogs heart.”
