Dog Walking Lakefront

“Jamie is the BEST! We have a super nervous, occasionally reactive dog, and within two thirty minute walks, she’s my dog’s new best friend. She’s great at recognizing body language of dogs, and is always sure to take pictures of my baby on walks and send them over. She also checked to see what tricks Goose knew, and refreshes them with him on every walk. We’re so glad to have her as part of his weekly routine :)”

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!

“Lory was amazing. We have only had Clover for a week and were pretty hesitant about having a stranger come to our house and take care of our new puppy. She was nothing but compassionate and professional. We met before the service so we could all meet and get comfortable. We will definitely be seeing more of her and would recommend her.”

“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”

“Hannah was so prompt and accommodating for us. She is a delight to work with, and you can tell how much she loves dogs. My timid girl went right up to her, and that says a lot! I’m so happy we met Hannah.”

“Jill was absolutely fantastic. She walked our Chihuahua, Mocha, for several days a week over about a month while my wife and I were both working, and she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring throughout. Mocha can be anxious around new people and situations, but Jill was patient with her and quickly earned her trust. She always followed our instructions, kept us updated, and went above and beyond by giving attention to our two cats as well, which we really appreciated. Knowing Mocha was in such good hands gave us tremendous peace of mind during the workday. We were sad to see her leave to return to college, but we’re very grateful for all of her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker. Thank you, Jill!”

About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours! I currently work full time, so I am available during weekends and after 5pm! I still have plenty of time to play with your animals💗 Though I do not have any animals of my own, whenever I watch someone else’s, I treat them like I would if they were mine 💗 I keep an active eye on them and make sure they aren’t supposed to get into anything they shouldn’t be in.

“Nicole is amazing. From the very start she was reliable with messages and prompt in showing up to my home. My dog Toto just adored her. He willingly left for his walk, tail wagging, on each occasion. I would highly recommend Nicole for animal care. She is a gem!!”

“Kirsten did a great job updating me with lots of photos and was very responsive. She always showed up on time and took good care of Pualu. It was nice to go away and not have to worry!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by 5 English Mastiffs, a pitbull, and 5 cats, so I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Most recently, I had the privilege of caring for my dog Rex during his final months, which gave me experience with health issues, medications, and supporting pets with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve also watched many different dogs, and nothing makes me happier than when they come back for another stay! It feels like welcoming back old friends. Being around animals truly brings out the best in me, and I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and gentle, or needs a little extra care, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available every day for walks and house sitting! I’m currently in PA school and have just one in person class from 8:30-11 Monday-Thursday. If I have to leave them for any amount of time I will be fully transparent and I will make sure it’s within the time frame you prefer! If needed I can take a pet for a day. I’m currently in graduate school at Upstate Medical and just have a class from 8:30-11. But your pet will always be treated like a family member! They will be safe, loved, and well fed. I love playing outside with dogs because it’s the best part of their day!

About: I have professional dog walking and in-house dog sitting experience as well as a deep love and appreciation for the wisdom of dogs. From 30 minute - 1 hour walks and visits to longer term care, I’d be thrilled to keep your dog happy when you are away. I’d say I’m quite receptive to dog personalities and can provide pets, cuddles, scratches, walks, dances, etc. Maybe your dog isn’t into cuddling and playing around — that’s okay too. I respect that and will keep a healthy distance. We will walk. We may talk. I can send you quality candid photos and even possibly montage video of our time together with my filmmaking background and skills. I can promise safe and exciting play sessions of any length.

“Tiera was great with my 5 month old gsp puppy. She has a lot of energy but she wrangled her well. This was my first time leaving her alone or hiring a dog walker so I was a little nervous but Tiera was awesome and I appreciated the updates and photos of her walks. I’ll definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I am great with animals, dogs love being around me. I enjoy being outside walking them. My experience as a dog walker is limited to my friend’s dog, Leo, who I often dog sat. Being with Leo brought me such joy. It also created space for my friend to prioritize other important tasks for she knew Leo was in trusted hands. I am available for dogs walk from 5pm- 7pm on Tuesday’s and Wednesdays. Sundays 2pm-5pm. Saturday from 12pm- 7pm. Overall this is an exciting part of my day that I look forward to. I walk dogs only when they are on a leash. I bring treats to incentivize the walk. I Give them time to rest, poop and play.

About: Hi, I’m Aubrey! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since 2014, and spending time with animals is one of my favorite things. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone keep them company, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to make sure they feel safe and well cared for. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently working part-time, and can fit your pet’s care into my daily schedule! I have two kids with flexible schedules as well. I will keep your pet safe and sound in your home by following your care descriptions! This can include walking, crating, playing outside and inside play.

“This was my first time booking a dog walker. I was so excited that Heather had a dog she could bring! Both dog and Heather were friendly, professional, and on time. Walk went well and we’ll be booking again. Thanks!”
