Dog Walkers in Mendon, NY

“Sari did great with my dog Elsa. She even went a little over on the time to get my dog more exercise. She’s trustworthy and responsible. I recommend her.”

“Madie was great with Odie. She took time to give him some TLC along with his walks. Plus, she was very willing to accommodate changes to my schedule.”

Robert B.

“Kerrie was absolutely exceptional with our 7 year old husky, Kira. She was on time, incredibly communicative, and very understanding of Kira’s unorthodox routine. When circumstances and asks changed, Kerrie went above and beyond to accommodate with pleasure. We confidently recommend her for your pet needs and will absolutely be using Kerrie in the future.”

About: I have always had a love for animals since I can remember. I rescued and rehabbed two feral kittens that were living under a dumpster to my own rescued pup. I have had guest dogs in my home from tiny to extra large. They always received the same care as my own dog from sleeping in bed with us to plenty of walks and outdoor time. They will be in great, responsible hands with me! I currently have my own business so I make my schedule. I can be flexible with days of the week and times even with last minute notice. I always ensure the pets are secure via leash before leaving the home to go for walks or when they are "in" for the day (crates, baby gate - no matter their set up). I also gather all the information about the animal - any reactions to certain situations, recall cues etc prior to visits.

About: I have guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have also had a bearded dragon and rabbits. I am very used to caring for many types of animals and love them all. Have experience with all different ages and many different needs for each pet. They’re our family ! I was a teacher for 12 years in elementary school. After our 3rd child was born i decided to stay home to take care of our children and our pets full time. I am very flexible with my schedule and our pets love visitors - animals and humans !! I have a fully fenced in backyard and three very friendly dogs and three very friendly children :) We are all animal lovers. I am home during the days and when school starts, I am the only one home so it’s nice and quiet. We live in a great area for dog walks and are close to many parks for hikes too.

About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!

About: Animals have been in my life since I can remember. My parents live on a farm and adopt, dogs, cats, and farm animals in need . I am currently working towards my degree as a licensed veterinary technician and I previously worked at Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services as an Animal Care Assistant. While working there, I learned many emergent medical skills and I provided care for post -op, and special needs animals. I love being outside with dogs, playing fetch, soccer, frisbee, etc. it is a great way for dogs (and myself) to get moving and stay healthy! I also love cuddle time on the couch. I am truly happiest when I am spending time with and caring for animals. A wagging tail or purring cat puts a smile on my face and fills my heart with purpose!

About: I have been taking care of pets of all different types since I was little. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, even a bearded dragon. I have also help on farms here and there. My approach with your pet is slow and gentle to allow them their space and comfort while getting to know me. I currently work part-time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays so I am able to care for your pet on my days off as well as before and after my working hours. I have 2 large dogs that are my babies. I walk them daily and love to play in the back yard with them. They get lots of love and snuggles! As a caregiver to your pet, I would provide the same level of love, affection, playtime and support to your pet.

“Destiny was very responsive and loving with our new pup and easy to work with. She was available on short notice and I really appreciated her gentle approach.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood so am familiar and comfortable with walking, feeding, cleaning and taking care of animals. Our family loves dogs and since we don’t have one at the moment we’re enjoying spending time with the dogs we dog-sit for! I’m currently a stay at home Mom and home most of the week, so able to walk a dog easily or take it out to the bathroom as needed. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to enjoy. I live in a suburban neighborhood easy to walk a dog in. I can crate your dog if required.

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

“Michaelle was excellent! She was great with our dogs and they responded well to her. She was very accommodating with our old man with bad arthritis who could not walk far and our energetic girl who could walk for miles. She was also in constant communication which was very important for me. We would definitely use Michaelle again!”

About: I grew up with pets, plus my mother was a Petsitter for decades! I was her first (and only) employee. I've worked witha wife variety of pets, including cats and dogs of all sizes. I love providing a calm environment with lots of positive enrichment. I have full availability during the summer, and evening and weekend availability during the school year. Let me know what your pet needs, and I'll work with you to provide it. For all new clients we start with a meet and greet in your home, where I will take notes on needs and preferences. I will leave detailed notes for daily care. Happy to send daily pictures as well!

“Scout is a very happy pup because he got to hang out with Jordan tonight! He loves her so much and thinks she’s his girlfriend! I’ll have to have that talk with him later….”

About: I have experience of taking care of dogs of any age/size/breed/and energy. My current dog Lola is 16 years old and is very fragile and requires extra care and loving so I have a history dealing with older dogs. In addition my aunt has 3 yellow labs of different ages who I take care of and watch when she is not around. I consider myself in good shape so I can walk your dog however far they need. I am currently training to be a pilot and my schedule is very flexible. I can work around what ever schedule the pet owners prefer. People have entrusted me to pet/house sit before and I make sure to follow any rules the home owner has in place. I will leave zero mess and the only indication Ill leave that tells you I was at your house is a happy fur baby!

“Carolyn has been wonderful! She is on time, follows any directions I have left, and is wonderful with my dog. I would highly recommend her services!”

About: I work at an animal shelter in the kennels department, and have been handling dogs from chihuahuas to Great Danes for the past 2 years. I have in depth experience reading dog body language and working with dogs that have handling sensitivity, resource guarding, behavioral troubles and health concerns. I am Fear-Free certified, which is a training that focuses on positive reinforcement to help eliminate fear and stress in pets. I regularly dog sit for neighbors and friends, cat sit for my sister, and have cared for dogs and small animals in my personal life, including guinea pigs, rats, fish, frogs, birds and lizards. I work four 10 hour days, Sunday- Wednesday. I take dogs out, feed them, clean their kennels, monitor behavior and health concerns, help with training, oversee dog to dog interactions/play dates, and assist with medication on dogs with behavior concerns. I love playing with dogs, taking them out on walks/hikes, or just chilling out with them! I am available for feedings, letting out your dog out, or taking them for a walk. Whatever is needed for your pet, I will be able to offer :)

About: Dog lover with experience training big and small dogs of all ages. I'm currently training our Great Dane teen to be a therapy dog. I have a flexible schedule to provide drop-in visits and walks (incorporating loose leash walking training). And for doggy daycare - Our gentle giant, Moses, would love to play with your fur baby! I have a spacious and fenced living room play area for play. The area is heated, mostly carpeted to prevent slipping, with easy sliding door access to our fenced in backyard (with a heated pool that opens in the summer!), and in many ways dog-proofed: no visible wires, knick knacks/choking hazards, toxic plants, or items that knock over. There is an XL Diggs crate for alone time. The entire play area can be seen from the kitchen when prepping doggy food, and there is a Ring cam that runs 24/7. Minimal traffic on our street creates ideal loose leash walking trips. When not playing your dog can enjoy watching doggy tv on any of our 6 orthopedic dog beds. Our pup, Moses, is the most gentle play pal and strictly trained to respectfully play (and give space). If you are looking to build your dog's confidence around big dogs in public and avoid the fear and anxiety from a reactive big dog, our home is a perfect place for you to start. Transportation may be provided by request as an add-on if you are in or near the Pittsford area! My husband works very hard so I don't have to - I'm taking a break to raise our Great Dane teen! My daily routine involves a lot of playing and basic obedience / therapy dog training with Moses. We go on walks daily, play on our newly installed artificial turf in our fenced in yard, roam around on our land and occasionally go over to my parents to play with their three dogs on their three-acre land. I always take my shoes off before I enter your home for drop-ins and walks. This goes for your furry child as well—know in comfort that their paws to be wiped before they come back in. I always start our session by looking for signs of sickness or messes in the house before we go on walks, and I always finish our sessions with some wind down scratches before I leave. For doggy daycare: I have a spacious and fenced living room and play area. The area is Nest controlled, mostly carpeted to prevent slipping, with easy sliding door access to our fenced in backyard for play and potty (with a heated pool that opens in the summer!). My home is in many ways dog-proofed: no visible wires, knick knacks for choking hazard, toxic plants, or items that knock over. There is an XL DIGGS crate for alone time if needed (must be communicated two days prior). The entire play area can be seen from the kitchen when prepping doggy food, and there is a Ring cam that runs 24/7 - we had a traumatic experience boarding Moses last year that resulted in bites to his face, so we will not take eyes off your dog or ours to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Minimal traffic on our street creates ideal short loose leash walking trips. When not playing your dog can enjoy watching doggy tv on any of our 6 orthopedic dog beds.

“Janell was great with my dogs. She showed up promptly every day and provided updates and photos which were nice to receive. I would highly recommend her!”
