Dog Walking Modena

About: Hi! I’m a proud dog mama to two wonderful dogs—a Pit Bull/Lab mix and an Australian Cattle Dog. 🐾 I’m familiar with using flat collars, prong collars, and slip leads, and I understand the importance of using the right equipment safely and appropriately. I’ve also taken several dog-training classes with my own dogs, giving me a good foundation in leash handling, communication, basic obedience, and training techniques. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family in the past, caring for dogs in their homes and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I currently work full-time, but I’m available Friday evenings and have flexible availability throughout the weekends. I’d be happy to work with you to find a time that fits your schedule and your dog’s needs. Since I don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m used to providing my dogs with structured exercise and supervision. My older dog is leash-walked, while my younger dog is allowed off-leash using an e-collar in appropriate settings. We incorporate training throughout the day, along with plenty of playtime, exercise, and mental stimulation. This routine has given me experience balancing safety, structure, training, and fun while caring for dogs with different ages and energy levels.

“We just adopted a dog on Sunday. She was able to do a super last minute meet on Tuesday and a walk Wednesday because I had a doctor's appointment that couldn't be moved. I can't express how grateful I was. Megan is the best.”

About: When I was 8 years old, I started an animal sitting business in my neighborhood. By the time I was 10, I had over 50 clients, with animals ranging from bird to dog, cat to guinea pig, wild outdoor foxes to indoor sugar gliders. I learned a lot in the ten years that I had these clients (by the time I graduated from high school, I had over 200!), but the number one thing I learned is that every animal is different. Even if they are the same breed, each animal has different motivations, different needs. I started working as a dog trainer, specifically for behavioral issues, in my early 20s. I have a special place in my heart for dogs that need some paw holding, structure, and reassurance. That's actually why I took my most recent dog, Poppy. No one else wanted her, and the pound that I pulled her from had already shaved her leg to euthanize her that very hour. It took me years to get her to be the amazing, confident, and loving dog she became. And it was well worth it, and I learned so much! Poppy sadly passed in 2025 at 14 years old. It's too quiet here without a dog, so I started sitting. What has happened since has been nothing short of miraculous, watching an ever changing dog pack of pups that need love, attention, and structure while their parents are away at work or on vacation. We would love to add your pup to the crew! We have no children, no pets, a fenced in yard, and a 3 story safe space for any type of animal that needs care (with baby gates at every stair.) Monica runs daycare and boarding full time, and Jeremy works from home, so there is rarely a time that there is no one in the house. We have a great quiet neighborhood for walking, plus a fenced in yard for extra potty breaks and play time. I believe that every animal has their own needs, and I know every pet parent has their own rules. All home rules will be respected (e.g. not allowed on the couch at home? Not allowed on the couch here). Weekdays we have doggy daycare- I allow up to 5 dogs as long as it's the right mix. Our 2-3 regulars are well trained and very welcoming. Before booking a stay for boarding or daycare, I will require you come to the house with your pup(s) to check out the space and make sure it's the right fit. I will outline my usual day for the client, and we can add or subtract anything that’s needed for them. I have puzzles, toys, lots of comfy blankets, and dog beds. I’m happy to work on any training that they may need- and at the end of the day, I’m here to provide trusted service. I will always treat the pets in my home as my own, and will treat them with respect and love.

About: If you’d ask anyone in my life they will tell you I am a dog person more than human person. I’ve always had immense love for all dogs and do my best to play off their personality :). My three years of experience at a dog daycare/boarding facility has taught me patience with all dogs. I can provide feeding, walking, medicating (have cared for diabetics) and can be a temporary companion for your baby if needed :) While I was in my undergrad I had the wonderful experience of fostering a pitty mix from my local spca for 3 months. When we got him he was extremely underweight and was having a hard time in the shelter. I nursed him back to the happy guy he was all along and he’s now in a happy loving home 🖤 I’m currently working part time and taking classes as I am in the process of completing a masters program. I do not know the days I work week to week but am available to give services 3 times a day (7amish, 2pmish, and in the pm). My family dog is a grazer so we just put some food out for the day and he’ll eat whenever. If your pups have scheduled meals I’m 100% able to work with it. If your pup is high energy and my schedule is open I’m available to play with them, find a park or take them for a walk to give them enrichment. For those with reactive or babies that have a hard time trusting strangers, I completely understand and can work with that as well!!

About: I understand animals on a deep level and have a knack for getting them into a calm, happy state. Throughout my lifetime, I have cared for dogs, cats, cows, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese. Safety is paramount when it comes to our fur babies. I am a very fastidious person and this is amplified when I care for animals. They deserve all the best :) I am currently renovating and have free time between work on my house. I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule. I have two reliable vehicles- one of which is perfect for safe transport of larger dog if necessary. Safety is my number one priority as a dog mom and cat mom myself. I will take every step possible to ensure the comfort, safety and health of your pet. I care for every living thing with the love, care and attention that life deserves. I will care for any creatures as though they were my own fur babies.

About: If you have an athletic or active dog, we are the hosts for you!!! Trips to parks (on and off leash), running the trails, and swimming in a Lake will happen every day. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I have a very open schedule. Usually I go to the park go with my family who enjoy the day doing things outside the house. If you have a last minute appointment or you need anything on the same day I do take them I have a very open schedule one works in the morning and the other one works in the afternoon so your pet will never be alone. I had pets before they pass away. We used to love our pets so much. We took CPR classes and emergency classes for pets just in case.

“Imogen has been a great support in helping to walk, feed and give our elder (and blind!) Bichon his insulin shots in the mornings and evenings. Always a great way to start or end the day knowing Imogen is available for care !”

About: Hello, I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 11 years old. From dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I’ve trained many puppies and love everyone’s furry friends. Fun Fact my dog at home is scared of thunder, so I always sit in the bathtub with him until he’s ready to come out (photo included) I’ve also babysat and house sat for many years :) I have maximum 2 one hour classes a day with a 3 hour gap in between! So there will be plenty of time for me to take care of your furry friends!!! I live in a single room on campus with loads of space and two beds if the pets want to have a comfy space. When I have to leave for a class I play zen pet music to help calm them down if I have to leave!

About: Pets have always been an important part of my life! As a former dog owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else's care. I've also regularly cared for friends' and family members' dogs and cats, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who may need a gentler approach and extra attention. I've also cared for multiple pets at once and have experience administering medication, always following the owner's instructions carefully. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit for feeding and companionship, overnight care in your home, or a comfortable stay while you're away, my priority is making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I take the time to learn each pet's individual needs, favorite activities, routines, and quirks so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I know how reassuring it is to know your pet is in good hands, which is why I prioritize clear communication, photos, and updates throughout each booking. I will follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and treat your pets with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. Every pet deserves personalized care, and every owner deserves peace of mind. I'd love to get to know you and your pets and help make time apart a little easier for everyone! I plan my pet care bookings around my weekly schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care. I coordinate walks, drop-in visits, and other bookings in advance so I can accommodate each pet's routine and needs. My availability varies by day and service, with opportunities for evening, weekend, and overnight care depending on my calendar. I keep my availability updated, communicate clearly with pet parents, and make sure expectations are established before each booking. My goal is to make scheduling easy for you while providing consistent, loving care for your pets! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my priorities! I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medication to walks and favorite activities. I’m mindful of keeping pets safe, securing doors and gates, and respecting your home. I also love sharing photo updates so you can see how your furry family members are doing! Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is to treat them like family and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Extremely pleasant,personable and professional. A definite keeper!”

About: I have 3 dogs from ages 1 to 13, so I’m experienced with everything from puppy training to senior care—every dog gets personalized love . Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. As the owner of Daisy Pet Spa, I spend my days caring for dogs and making their comfort and well-being my priority. At home, I also have three dogs of my own, so my daily routine naturally revolves around feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and lots of one-on-one attention. I only take on a manageable number of bookings so every pet receives the time, patience, and personalized attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and low-stress environment where they receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, keep a close eye on pets at all times, and make sure they have a safe space to relax. I treat every pet like one of my own and respect your home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind.

About: I have experience with many different dog breeds with different energy and health needs. I give all of the animals under my care the same treatment. I would take care of a super senior cat with the same dedication I would a golden retriever puppy. I'm not squeamish at all either, I'm comfortable dealing with body fluids and administering injection and medications. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters so i've seen it all! Currently, my only commitments are helping to babysit younger family members, which is flexible schedule and only part-time. I have lots of time to not only take care of your animals, but also play with them and give them good entertainment My own dog is a runner, so I am hypervigilant about making sure animals don't dart out doors. I always make sure I physically see the animal and watch them to make sure they look healthy and happy, I don't just leave food and water and go home. I'm more than happy to give daily updates on animals i'm watching there are owners out of town and take pictures

About: I've had animals most of my life and genuinely love fur babies. Friends and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, board, and care for their pets of all different breeds because of my love for animals and my attention to each animal’s unique needs. I currently have two pups, Mr. Milo and Bellarina, and have personally owned dogs of different life stages, from puppy to elderly. I have experience with adult and elderly cat care as well. I started on Rover to be able to care for as many dogs and cats as possible, since my schedule affords me that freedom. I can’t get enough! I’d be honored to care for your fur babies with the care and attention they deserve. I currently work mostly from home, with two days per week in the office. I'm available for boarding Thursday through Sunday morning (early morning pickup), and dog walking almost every day of the week. I have a fully fenced in yard and a sweet puggle named Milo who gets along with dogs, cats, and babies. I have a spare bedroom if your furry friend needs to be separated from Milo and plenty of room for your crate or other beds, toys, etc.

Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to your pet’s feeding, walking, and medication times. Consistency is key, so I make sure my visits are always on time and unrushed—your pet gets my full attention every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and their animals with the same respect and care as I would my own. I follow the pet’s regular routines—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure fresh water is always available, litter boxes are cleaned, and living areas are tidy. If medications are needed, I administer them exactly as directed. I also spend quality time giving affection and companionship, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Before leaving, I ensure the home is secure, lights and doors are as you prefer, and you receive an update with photos so you know everything is safe and well.

About: I've taken care of pets of neighbors and family friends for 6 years. Everything from dogs and cats to horses and African grey Parrots. I love animals and try to make them as comfortable as possible while their owners aren't around. This is my full time job making me flexible to fit you and your pets needs. Offering daily exercise and attention while you aren't home. When I go into a clients home I make sure I treat it with the utmost respect and make sure that the cleanliness in the clients home will be maintained.

About: I grew up around animals, from birds and hermit crabs to cats and dogs, my household has always been filled with pets. I have also fostered medically fragile dogs and volunteered at the Westchester Humane Society. I am passionate about ensuring all animals receive the best possible care and I will give your pet the same love I give my own. I currently work part time and I’m a full time grad student, but I have my own transportation so my schedule is open and flexible. I will schedule a meet and greet with you and your pet to learn all about their unique quirks, likes, dislikes, and routines prior to beginning services with them. I ensure a safe environment by using non-retractable leashes on walks and will send you updates while I am with your pet. Your pet's safety is my top priority.

About: I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet behind, so my goal is to make the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible—for both you and your pet. I’m calm, attentive, and great at sticking to routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I provide a safe, loving environment they can relax in. I currently am a student from home so I have more than enough time to take care of your furry companion while you are away. I used to walk my dog around my neighborhood sometimes to the river If it’s really nice out just get her some fresh air. Proper feeding times and bathroom breaks.

“Can’t rate Elena highly enough! Our dogs love her, she’s super responsive, and we always know our dogs are getting the VIP treatment when she takes care of them!”
