Dog Walking in Lackawanna

“Elisabeth has incredible energy, provides great communication and was flexible during an unexpected work trip that pulled me out of town for 20 hours. I highly recommend them!”

“Nafisa was wonderful all week long! She showed up on time or early every day. She was kind enough to give me a heads up before she arrived everyday to give me time to make it to the door and have my dog ready. They bonded immediately and my neighbors noticed how well she manages his large size and energy.”

About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

About: Growing up, I absolutely loved animals—my family used to joke that I’d own a zoo one day! Whether it was caring for my own pets or helping animals in need, I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility and joy in making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve rescued a baby deer, birds, and multiple dogs, and each experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and gentle in all kinds of situations. I bring that same energy to pet sitting—being someone an animal can rely on, and someone owners can trust. My natural love for animals, along with my experience as a nursing student, means I’m observant, nurturing, and not afraid of a little extra care—whether that’s for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I currently work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM during the week. Evenings are a perfect time for walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with pets who need company after their owners leave for work. On weekends, I’m fully available and happy to offer boarding services, since I’ll be home and can give pets my full attention. My schedule allows for a healthy balance, so I can make sure each animal I care for gets the time, consistency, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and my experience as a nursing student—I’m naturally attentive, observant, and gentle, which carries over into how I care for animals. I’ve grown up with pets and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routines, patience, and respecting each animal’s unique personality. I’m also comfortable with both dogs and cats, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or in need of extra attention. I’m especially good with senior pets, and I’m comfortable helping with medication, special feeding routines, or mobility needs. I take pride in providing a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure—and owners can feel confident.

About: I know I love to have the peace of mind when traveling that someone I trust is caring for my pets while I am away and I want to provide that same service to someone else. We recently lost our beloved Dexter after 14 years, so we are very much missing having a dog around to snuggle and take on walks. We also have a cat named Joey and he pretty much keeps to himself (until it is time to eat of course) and 2 small children. I am available to come to your house and give your dog walks and check-ins or anything else you might need. We will be sure to give your baby all the love and care they deserve while you are away :) During the summer months I am off from my full-time job so I have open availability. When school is back in session I am available anytime Monday-Friday after 3pm and open on the weekends. I will follow all guidance from the owner as to how you do things. It’s important to be consistent for your pet while you’re away.

About: Experienced pet sitter providing loving, reliable care for dogs of all breeds. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel happy, healthy, and safe while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and follow their routine to ensure their comfort and well-being. Available for pet sitting most days with flexible hours. Busy Tuesdays and Thursdays but open for evenings and other days. Happy to help your pets! I care for pets in their own home, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I prioritize their well-being, providing companionship, maintaining a clean environment, and following owner instructions closely. Trust, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“So personable, professional, and so thankful she was able to walk our dog on short notice. Highly recommend and will be using again!!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments—whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just providing companionship while you’re away. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of animal behavior, my calm, patient approach, and my genuine love for every pet I meet. I’m also confident in my ability to follow detailed care routines, and great at building trust with shy or anxious pets. Safety, reliability, and creating a stress-free experience for your furry family member are always my top priorities. Whether it’s a long walk, belly rubs, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine and brings a great balance to my life. I currently work part-time as a waitress, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate consistent time and energy to dog walking, sitting, and overall pet care throughout the week. I recently graduated with my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from D’Youville University and am currently studying for my national board exam to become licensed in New York State. During this period, my schedule remains highly flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays. Spending time with animals is not only something I enjoy, but also something that keeps me grounded and motivated as I prepare for the next step in my professional journey. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. At my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have one dog of my own—Stella—who is the queen of our house and loves making new furry friends. She’s extremely friendly and gentle, and would be a great companion for your pup. We also have a fully fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. If your dog is more comfortable in their own home, I’m happy to care for them there as well. I understand how important routine is, and I always make sure to follow your dog’s regular schedule to help them feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

“Darrean was professional and prompt! Also I asked her last second for an hour walk and she was available so if you’re in a pinch then she is your go to. I needed someone to tire my dog out while I worked a 12 hour shift. Thanks!!!”

“I can not say enough kind words. Anestacia treats my boy like her own. She shows up at the promised time, follows my instructions to a tee and always lets me know how my boy is when she stops in to take him for a walk. I highly recommend trusting her to take care of your pets.”

About: I have been pet sitting for about 10 years, everything from quick play dates to extended stays lasting over a month. I've worked with a variety of dogs including a 13-year old 4 pound chihuahua, a vizla that required 5 or more hours of solid exercise a day, a 160 pound mastiff that thought he was a lap dog, and a very scared dalmatian/husky/german shepherd mix that needed some serious work on social interations. I've dealt with skunk attacks, bee stings, an intestinal blockage and various types of aggression. I love animals but right now my job has me traveling internationally for long periods of time, so I'm delaying getting my own for the time being. I really miss the interaction though, so this seemed like the perfect solution.

About: There hasn't been a time in my life when I haven't cared for dogs. They are the purest form of unconditional love and I strive to offer them the fun, joy and love they are so deserving of. I currently enjoy a flexible schedule, so most times am able to work around your schedule easily for in-home visits for puppy play time or walks. I am able to care for your dogs in the comfort of their home, either for snuggle and play visits, overnight care, or adventure walks!

About: Whether it’s a walk around the block, some playtime while you’re away, or an overnight stay filled with cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and totally at ease. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and energy levels — from hyper pups to chill seniors. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each pet I meet. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, I’m your girl! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to focus on pet care. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and some holidays, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s routine — even on short notice. Whether it’s an early morning visit, a midday walk, or an overnight stay, I’ve got the time and attention to give your pet the consistent, loving care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own. I make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for — all while keeping things tidy and stress-free. I’m happy to help with light cleaning around the house, like sweeping up pet hair, wiping down surfaces, or tidying up after playtime or meals. For dogs, I make sure they get regular walks, bathroom breaks, and outdoor time to burn off energy and stay mentally stimulated. For all pets, I stick closely to your instructions and routines to keep things familiar and comforting for them while you’re away. You can count on me to create a calm, clean, and loving environment while you’re gone.

“This was my first time using Rover and it was just a day before I went out of town for 2 days. She replied within minutes of the initial request and asked to stop by that afternoon to meet my fluffy one and see if it was a good fit. I'm glad it was. She was very communicative and she eased my first-time-leaving-my-dog-with- a-stranger nerves. We chatted about how hot it would be (90+) and she took the dog where they didn't have to walk on the hot pavement much and had some shade. She paid attention to how my dog was handling the heat and when my dog wanted to head home. She sent pictures and updates for each walk. I will absolutely use her again when the need arises.”

About: Hi, I’m Leah—your pup’s new bestie! 🐶💕 I love long walks, endless snuggles, and making sure every furry friend feels right at home. Whether your dog is a zoomie-loving adventurer or a laid-back couch potato, I’ll be their buddy the whole time you’re away. Since I work a hybrid schedule, I get to spend lots of days at home keeping your pup company. I’m an early bird (up by 6am!) and a night owl (bedtime around 11pm), so there’s plenty of time for walks, playtime, and cuddles in between. Every pet I care for is treated like my own. They’re welcome on the couch or in bed, and I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved.

About: Patient, empathetic and reliable sitter & dog walker that loves ALL animals! My 2 year old Cavapoo (15 pounds) loves to play with other dogs. He has been around all size dogs and gets along great. I volunteer for multiple rescues including flight angels that transports dogs from Puerto Rico to the States to get adopted. I have transported over 10+ cats and dogs. I have fostered a puppy that I found abandoned, Nursed him back to health and then found his forever family. I have many years of experience with taking care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I am currently working remotely so I am home all day to take care and play with my own pet. When I take breaks, I always go for a walk with my dog and then when I am back at my computer, I make sure he has an enrichment activity to do (example: treat licking pad). I make sure pets are well taken care of, whether they’re at my place or in their own home. I provide lots of attention and playtime, and when I’m at the client’s house, I follow their routine to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for the pet. I look forward to meeting with you and your pet! Taylor

About: I always grew up with dogs. My father and his first wife were dog groomers. Which taught me quite a lot about the patience in raising pups. And caring for them. I love all dogs. I never discriminate against breeds. My goal is to have a large amount of land to rescue/foster pups one day. This is where I'm starting! My compassion and understanding for canines gives me an unending amount of respect and stamina in caring for them. I love walking and hiking! I work from home these days and I’m always looking for a walking partner! My schedule is very flexible during the week. I care for all pets as if they were my own. With patience, kindness and compassion. I tend with special care and time. Following all rules set by the household!

“I hired Marijo for a dog walking and she was extremely responsive and flexible when it came to my pup. She provided updates and pictures to let me know he was enjoying his outside time. I highly recommend her with your pet!”
