Dog Walkers in Lacona, NY

“Heather was a god send! We were visiting the area and were unexpectedly kept away from home for 12 hours! I was panicked. Heather went over, took great care of them and gave me a great deal of comfort. Her communication and effort was top notch!”

“I have a rescue pittie named Peter thats only been with me for about 4 months, and he currently needs a lot of extra care, attention, patience, and love. Nicole has been so kind and willing to accommodate his needs, and Peter loves her! He looks so happy in all the update pictures she sends— I’m grateful to have found somebody that both me and my dog feel comfy with.”

About: Puppies are playful and seniors are tender; regardless of age, I'll care for them like I would my own. Nice walks, snuggles, fetch, and administering medications are all on my canine resume! I've truly seen it all! Apart from pet care, I sell antiques and substitute teach locally. Both of those jobs allow me to work when I want, customize my own schedule, and work relatively short days. I can build my schedule around pet care requests. I'll be sure to follow all of your guidelines in handling your pets including specific leashes/harnesses, diet restrictions and behavior considerations. I have one friendly yellow lab who can be a buddy for your pet if you wish!

About: *Please read through and understand my policies before booking - your pets well-being is what is most important to me! I have taken care of various pets since I was a kid. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and bearded dragons! I have always been the family/friend go-to for help with animals whether it is walking dogs, house-sitting, ect. I am a huge animal advocate and a Humane Policy Leader Volunteer with the ASPCA. Throughout high school and college, I looked for opportunities to help animals at an individual level (doing some rescue work, rehab work, fundraising, ect.), and it has greatly improved my knowledge about providing care for animals of various needs. I take the health and safety of animals very seriously, and will treat yours as my own. If you book a 24 hour+ period with me as your pet’s only caregiver, I require a minimum of 3 visits daily and will not allow your dog to be alone for more than 12 hours. With cats and other small animals there is flexibility with the amount of drop-ins. I also typically only do last minute bookings for clients I’ve worked with previously because they know my standards and I know their pet’s needs - this helps ensure that the client is comfortable with my care, the pet is comfortable with my care, and I am comfortable providing my services. I am available everyday for pet care and at various times. All scheduling details can be discussed further at a meet and greet to ensure you feel comfortable with the care your pet will be receiving :) I have special experience with diabetic animals, deaf animals, and animals with health/behavior needs. So that I am able to best take care of your pet, please let me know if there is anything I should know about your pet so that I can be prepared to give them the proper care. I would also ask that a meet and greet is set up prior to future visits so that we can ensure your pets comfortability with me while you are away! I will ensure during visits to send pictures of your pet to you and provide a summary of the visit to put your mind at ease, and of course text me on Rover at any point with any concerns or needs. As a fellow animal parent, I understand we experience some separation anxiety from our pets!

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them. I would make sure your animal is safe. The world class care your fur baby would get would be unmatched. My doggies are literally spoiled but well behaved. They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I’ve spent time providing quality animal care for dogs and cats for multiple clients over the years. I’m currently working full-time. I am looking to fulfill a passion of mine, by being with animals more often. I’m looking forward to becoming more active. I have a half acre of land for dogs to roam on. I live on a private drive which makes walks easy and safe, as traffic is limited. I have plenty of space for a crate, if needed.

“Alana is so wonderful with my dogs - I was so nervous at first letting someone else walk my boys, but she was very professional and sweet!”

About: Since I was a wee baby I’ve always had a dog in the family. Always ranged in size and temperaments, from a very grumpy terrier to a cuddle bug of a pittie. As I grew up I learned out to train puppies and care for them and before I moved out I helped my nana take care of my family’s current dog, Gizmo, a shih tzu. I am starting to work part time on fort drum but my days always start with taking care of the pets and whatever they may need. On my days off, as the day goes I check in on them and play with them. If I worked when I get home from work I spend time with them and catch up from their day. I don’t mind crating but as long I’m at home I do allow any pet to wander into areas they are allowed into. Always keeping track of them and occasionally finding them to make sure they don’t cause too much of a ruckus.

About: I’ve had various pets through the years from horses to hamsters. I have no issues with cleaning up feces, urine, throw up or cleaning wounds. I have spent a significant amount of time educating myself in dog training. I like to describe myself as a very well rounded person. I’m a housewife with a huge passion for animals that I want to share with the world. Currently I spend my mornings taking care of a 15 horse barn but that will be coming to an end in October so I’m looking to spread my love to the smaller animals of the world. I have a deck with a fenced in portion for potty time. I have 3 acres of open land and multiple run lines for pups that can’t be trusted off leash. I have my own pup an almost 2 year old female spayed Basset mix that is beyond friendly with everything to keep your pup or kitty company during their stay.

About: I take a lot of joy out of caring for animals and I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family members at home when you have to go away. Let me help! I have been caring for animals my whole life and have experience with all types of animals of different breeds and temperaments. I believe that all pets deserve attention, play, and care everyday and I’m happy to help when you can’t be there. I have two cats and a dog of my own, but have plenty of time and care to share with your pets too. I am working full time out of my home, but have evenings off. My weekends are usually wide open and will do my best to adjust my schedule to be there when I’m needed. If you would like for your pets to spend time at my home we have a fenced in back yard and I have a young dog of my own that loves other dogs and loves to play and run around. If you would rather me come to your home, I will be sure to give your dogs plenty of outdoor time and opportunity to go to the bathroom and stretch their legs and get out some energy!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have had and taken care of a lot of different dog breeds. I have 2 of my own at the moment and I will treat yours like mine. I currently work full time evenings 4 days a week. I do have availability for a few things on my days off. I look forward to meeting your pups. I have a big front yard where my dogs go on leads. They have free roam to the house. They are both well trained and sweet.

About: I’ve always taken care of animals my whole life. Everything from farm animals to house animals. I love being around animals and would love to spend my free time taking care of your fur friend and providing them with excellent care. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care of some fur friends. I am a college student but go to college locally and would love to take care of animals while in school too. While caring for my pets and others I always treat them with a happy bubbly attitude and take great care of them. I love to play with animals and take them outside to play with some of their favorite toys. I always make sure they have enough water and all other essentials needed.
