Dog Walkers in McLean, NY

“Daisy had a great walk with Bailey! Bailey was extremely easy to communicate with. She arrived on time and took Daisy out for longer than I had booked her for. I will absolutely have Bailey walk Daisy again.”

“Ellie loves her outings with Nichole and I love knowing she is with someone I can trust to take care of her like she was her own pup! Nichole’s daughters are great with Ellie, too. :)”

“Amazing dog walker! Very sweet and my dog loved her. My dog is very hyper and Ashley did so great with her. Love the updates and pictures from each walk :)”

“Kirsten was fantastic with our dog, Beau. She came to our house twice a day to walk Beau and play with him. She sent several posts and videos even while I was out of the country. She even came to the house one day while it was raining and played with him in the house so he could still get exercise. She was kind, responsive, caring, and just perfect all around for our dog's needs. I highly recommend Kirsten for taking care of your pet for any reason. She has become part of our family, and we can't even begin to thank her enough for being simply perfect.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 15+ years, from playful Lab puppies to senior rescues needing medication and mobility help. Growing up on a small hobby farm, I learned early how to read animal body language and keep routines calm and safe. Today I share life with my own Labrador, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur‑kid with someone new. I offer daily photo updates, walks, and custom playtimes—whether that’s a pond‑side swim, a gentle neighborhood stroll, or indoor enrichment games on rainy days. I’m comfortable with crate training, basic obedience, and administering oral or topical meds. Your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I work for a school, so I’m out at 2:30 every day and have summers off. I also have scheduled school breaks, which gives me extra flexibility. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’ll always follow your instructions closely—whether it’s locking up, feeding routines, giving medications, or keeping your dog on their usual walking route. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and happy while you’re away.

“Kait is awesome!! I am a teacher and she is always available when I have to stay after for work to walk Rue. She noticed she had goopy eyes and gave her a warm compress as well as took awesome photos! I don’t trust many with my fur baby; but I highly recommend Kait!! Thank you!!”

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“I met with Lauren, last minute, on a Monday afternoon. She and Penny, Cheagle (Beagle/Chihuahua mix), became fast friends. Lauren has been stopping in to take Penny for a walk and give her some dinner in the early evenings a few days a week when I work. Penny likes her visits with Lauren and is her silly self chasing bunnies etc. Lauren sends me pictures and updates on her after their visit. I think Penny looks forward to Lauren’s visits and I feel Penny is safe and happy with her.”

“Mary has been great with our timid pup, Ivy! We’ve gone on two walks so far and Mary has been so patient with Ivy, making sure she’s comfortable every step of the way. Mary is quick to respond to questions and is a kind and considerate person.”

“Glenna was so helpful in walking our dogs midday while I was traveling. At our meet and greet she was great with our scared pup so I felt confident in her stopping in. She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Thank you for you help with Chip and Jules.”

About: My name is Emma and am a recent law school graduate working in Ithaca. I grew up in Vermont with ducks, goats, sheep, chickens, cats, and dogs. As an adult, I love ANY AND ALL animals! I regularly run and hike (but I'm also not opposed to just vegging out). I regularly care for my parents’ German Sheppards. I have owned dogs that are super social and dogs that do not like other dogs. I feel confident in my ability to handle almost any size dog on a leash. I have experience handling dogs with mobility/spinal injuries, dogs that require in-home rehab such as water therapy, dogs that have issues with incontinence, dogs with anxiety, and more! I look forward to getting to know you and your animals!

“Great job with a shy dog. Got her to walk and play. Thank you, excellent job!”

About: Hi! I just started doing this again FT in July & I’m excited to help care for your little babes. Whether it’s drop-in visits or walks, boarding here or house-sitting, you can feel relieved that your home and family will be in the kindest of hands. Common human courtesy like bringing in your mail & watering your plants are included. 😊 I’ve been a lover of animals since I was born, riding horses and having even exotic pets; these days, I help out with a wildlife rehabber, I volunteer & have fostered with a local animal shelter, and in my own pet-parenting experience, I know about veterinary meds & the different ways of administering them, etc. My husband care for our cats if I need to house-sit, otherwise, this is my full-time gig lately and I absolutely love it! It’s my calling. 🥰 I leave a place better than I found it; I am highly polite and respectful and would never disrespect a client’s home; I treat it like I’m a guest on my best behavior of course!

“Dawn is definitely a dog lover. She was able to coax my anxious dog outside to walk and do his business. She is reliable and a good communicator. 5 stars!”

About: I’ve loved animals all my life. I have a very vivid memory of fishing with my father. We caught a fish the size of a silver dollar. Thrilled to throw it back my father stopped me and proceeded to cut the fish up for bait. I cried for so long that day. Looking back it’s pretty funny that it stayed with me. Presently that experience reverberates through my life in small cries during commercials featuring animals doing sweet/sad things, and big sobs in the theater when one is lost on screen. I’m an owner of 2 cats. Both are very sweet. One is more curious and the other more apprehensive (he hides when we have other animal visitors). I’ve raised 3 dogs and have fostered once before. I’ve worked at a Veterinary Clinic back in Texas and have experience with giving oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections. I give 2 shots to my own twice daily so I’m very familiar with it. I go to school full-time and I only live 7 minutes away from school! My classes during the week are usually 3 hours long with at least 3 hours in-between classes. Friday through Sunday my attention is all to your fur baby. I have a small open yard with a leash anchor so your pet can enjoy time outside with a sense of freedom and supervision during outside time. There are trails close to my house for walking and our small neighborhood has a 30 mph speed limit. If your pet is crate trained I can accommodate a crate in a large well lit kitchen or an equally well lit cozy upstairs bedroom. Either way under supervision your pet has full access to my couch and home to be as comfortable as they need. If they require smaller spaces my bedroom (cats not allowed upstairs) is free to roam as well. No human food is easily accessible in the house due to my own pets’ dietary issues. I’m happy to communicate most times of the day through text or app for updates on your loved one.

About: I've had years of experience caring animals as a pet sitter, veterinary technician,shelter volunteer as well as pet mom to many fuzzy, scaly, and feathered friends. I'm a mother of school aged children and I have a very flexible schedule including day,evening,and weekend hours. Short notice requests can usually be accomodated. I'm very comfortable reading animal body language. I have a very people/dog friendly dog who loves to join in on a walk if your dog would like the company.

“Melessa is very reliable and has been real patient with my anxious dog. She’s always on time and walked Avie for 2 weeks, rain or shine. She made sure Avie wore his coat/raincoat when it’s cold or raining out. I appreciate you, Melessa! Highly recommend!”
