Dog Walkers in Manheim Center, NY

About: I create a safe and nurturing environment where your pets can feel right at home while you're away. From daily playtime and exercise to cozy accommodations and grooming services, I ensure that your pets receive the individualized attention and care they deserve. With a passion for pet care and a dedication to excellence, I strive to make your pets' stay with me a positive and enjoyable experience. Book with me today and give your beloved pets the pampering they need and deserve. Let me be your go-to for all your pet care needs - because when it comes to your furry family members, they deserve the best! I helped manage a doggie daycare for a couple years in Central Jersey so I can also handle multiple dogs at one time! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to get your pup out and get some energy out of them! Went on a walk twice a week to give the pup exercise and companionship. Provided general pet care duties as required, including feeding, watering, changing the litter box, and administering medication prescribed by the veterinarian.

About: I was a volunteer at a local animal shelter from ages 14 to 18, my experience includes puppies, dogs, senior dogs, kittens, cats, senior cats, and feral cats. Part of my job was to help rescue animals from hoarding situations and socialize them, with proper space and respect of course. It was a very long, yet rewarding process. Unfortunately, I had to leave because I moved to Potsdam for school. I have a love for animals, my pets mean very much to me and I know yours mean a lot to you too. I have two cats at home and one here. I also assist my boyfriends family in caring for their 2 dogs and 5 cats. Pets are part of the family and deserve the best care even when their owners are away. I am here to provide only the best for your sweet animals. My schedule will be totally open until mid-June, from there I will be out of town a few days a week, but still have a fairly open schedule. My boyfriend and I recently adopted and acclimated a semi-feral cat. She took some time to warm up, but with space and patience from the humans, she is a regular house cat. Working with animals is something I love deeply. It’s so rewarding to see them come out of their shell when given the space to do so. I promise I will treat your fur baby nothing short of amazing, because the care shouldn’t change just because the owners are away ❤️

“Katheryn treats your pet like her own. She's prompt, responsive, dependable, takes videos and photos, checks on anything of concern and gives our family peace of mind!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and have lots of pet sitting experience! I can walk, feed, bathe, and give medication if needed. Most importantly, I will love them like my own! I work part time and can be available pretty much whenever, my schedule is very flexible. I am able to focus on your pet care needs. I have a cat myself, but am able to separate him if need be, whatever is best for you. He is friendly. I also have two perfectly healthy and well fed Guinea pigs, and am well trained on small animal needs. And I have had dogs my entire life growing up. I have dog sat for family and friends many times. I keep a clean home, and am able to walk dogs on our property, we live in the country and have lots of room to play. We do not have an enclosed area but we do have a lead and leash, and your pet will never be unattended while outside or on adventures. We also have a cat/dog harness and a small animal outdoor caged area for grass nibbles. And always fresh food and water both inside and out.

“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. I currently have an energetic Irish Setter and a bold orange cat, so I’m used to handling high energy pets with big personalities! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love on their pets for over a decade. I’m comfortable with senior pets, active pups, and cats that like to roam (or hide!). I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets in their own home. I’m available for walks, check-ins, and overnight stays on weekends and most weekdays. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I follow your pet’s routine, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I’m experienced with high energy pets and senior animals, and I always prioritize their well being and your peace of mind.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.

About: With 5 years of dedicated experience in pet care, I provide a comprehensive and compassionate service tailored to the unique needs of each animal. My expertise extends beyond basic care to include specialized skills such as positive reinforcement-based puppy training, helping to establish good habits from an early age. I also have a deep understanding of senior dog care, including administering medication, providing gentle exercise, and creating a comfortable, low-stress environment. I have experience managing a variety of medical conditions, ensuring your furry family member is safe and well-cared for at all times. My goal is to be a trusted partner in your pet's health and happiness, providing peace of mind while you're away. Each morning starts with feeding, watering, and a potty break for the pets in my care. This is followed by a morning walk or playtime to get their energy out and start the day on a positive note. Throughout the day, I follow individual schedules, which might include specific feeding times for puppies or senior dogs, medication administration, or scheduled walks and potty breaks. The afternoon often includes another round of playtime or enrichment activities, such as puzzle feeders or training sessions, to keep their minds engaged. Evenings are typically quieter, with a final feeding and potty break before a relaxing wind-down. My weekly routine involves a bit more planning. I coordinate with pet owners to schedule walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I also use this time to restock on supplies and keep detailed records of each pet's behavior, eating habits, and health. If a pet is in my care for an extended period, I might schedule a grooming appointment to ensure they're in top shape. My schedule is built around the needs of the pet, ensuring they receive consistent, loving care and that their owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets, whether on my own or a client's, requires a responsible and attentive approach to ensure their well-being. A fundamental aspect is providing a consistent routine, including scheduled feeding times with high-quality, species-appropriate food and fresh water that is always accessible. Regular exercise is crucial for both physical and mental health; this can range from daily walks for dogs to interactive playtime. Environmental enrichment, such as toys, scratching posts, and comfortable bedding, helps prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. It's also vital to maintain a clean and safe living space by regularly cleaning food and water bowls, litter boxes, and bedding. Beyond daily care, a thorough pet care plan includes regular grooming, such as brushing and nail trims, and staying up-to-date on veterinary care, including vaccinations and preventative treatments for fleas, ticks, and worms. For client homes, clear communication is paramount. It is important for me to obtain detailed instructions regarding the pet's specific needs, routines, medications, and any behavioral quirks, as well as emergency contact information. This holistic approach, combining routine care with attention to individual needs and a focus on safety and hygiene, ensures a happy and healthy life for any pet under my care.
