Dog Walkers in Monticello, NY

About: As an experienced and long time foster, I have cared for dogs in my home with varying needs and personalities. I provide lots of affection, as well as necessary structure, to ensure a balanced and fun stay for all. I also have a sweet, Boxer-mix Zoe (50 lbs), and a Sato from Puerto Rico named Ellie (15 lbs), who love their foster siblings, and boarding mates & love to play, cuddle, and bring them out of their shell, especially little dogs. I have a few years of experience with rescue dogs, including puppy mill dogs, and street rescues, because of that I'm very confident working with shy, nervous dogs that need a little more TLC. In my personal time, I work as the social media coordinator for a dog rescue, and walk dogs for a friend's dog company.

About: Hey there! My name is Marina! So nice to meet you! I have been interested in animal care since I can first remember, and this passion has led me to rehabilitating sick, neglected, abused & injured animals of all shapes and sizes. I can provide care for your every day animals, to your more special needs family pets of all sizes. My care ranges from day old baby chicks to 800 pound pigs or even SOME calm horses if need be! I have had dogs my entire life and have two of my very own that live an incredibly enriched and stimulating life. I know how difficult it is to try to get out of town or away for even a day with pets of your own, please allow me to be a part of your pack and allow you and your family to just that while having immense peace of mind that your loved pets are in incredibly capable hands. I am mostly available on weekends only for pet care. I can be available after 7PM for drop-ins at night if need be. During the week I am fully employed. I unfortunately cannot provide boarding for pets in my own and it is for your own animals safety and comfort. We have a little house- there would not be ample space to guarantee safety of clashing personalities etc. In YOUR home I would treat everything and your pets with the upmost respect. Having a stranger in your personal sanctuary is an incredible responsibility and enormous trust goes into this - which is why I would never take it lightly. What ever instructions you leave for me will be performed; Your pets comfort and safety comes first for me before all else. I understand animals and their environments, their specificities, quirks and special needs.

“Eric is super friendly and easy to work with! He took the time to get to know our dogs before starting, which really put us at ease. He’s also very comfortable working with large dogs, something that can be hard to find. I have a senior dog who can be a bit more challenging for walkers, but Eric is wonderful with him. Highly recommend!”

“Sara was great, I would highly recommend. She sent pictures on her walks with Roxy, as well as the route they were on and I came home to a happy pup. Thanks again!”

“So wonderful with my big guy- went the extra mile to send pictures, dry his coat from the rain and give kisses before she left him. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

About: I've taken care of animals for over 5 years. I started out with a Leopard Gecko, but got a dog a couple years later. After that, I went to C-Tech and completed their Animal Science program, taking care of reptiles, small mammals, dogs, and even sometimes birds. Rover doesn't offer anything outside of dogs and cats, but if you need something else taken care of I'd be glad to help. My schedule is almost fully free. I've been out of school for a while and I love caring for animals! I don't dogsit as a full time job, but when I get a request I couldn't be happier to oblige! When taking care of animals, my own or someone else's; I can provide the animal with play, bathroom breaks, water & food refills, litter changes, and anything else your pet may need. If there's any special or unique care you need done for your animal, just ask. Leaving your pet with somebody else can be a bit worrying or stressful. If you want to build trust first, we can do as many meets as you'd like! Just say a date and I'm there.

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I provide calm, reliable, and loving care while keeping pets comfortable in their routine. Owners trust me for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays, knowing their pets are safe and genuinely cared for. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure your pet receives consistent care, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and overnight. I always put safety and comfort first. I follow each pet’s routine and owner instructions closely, keep doors and leashes secure, and provide attentive supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focused on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and happy in their familiar environment.

“Paula is more than a sitter/walker, she is family. She gave my dog the best care I could ask for until his last day.”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. My love for them has taken me on some unforgettable adventures, from visiting animal sanctuaries to zoos in Mexico and Europe. Growing up, I was that person who would tear up watching dog movies — I’ve always known animals had a unique way of making my heart full. I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, always dreaming of having a dog of my own. While I didn’t have one at the time, I spent countless hours dog-sitting and playing with my friend’s pups, Bella the bichon frise and Max the golden retriever. I loved taking care of them, and those moments are some of my favorite memories. My dream finally came true when my husband and I welcomed Prince, our sweet golden doodle puppy, into our home. He’s brought so much joy into our lives, and I’m always researching new ways to give him the best care possible, whether it’s through training or simply showering him with love. I’d love to share that same care and attention with your dog. I truly enjoy spending time with pups, and I will treat yours like my own, making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Since Prince was just a 4 month old puppy when we got him , I have good experience caring for puppies and dogs alike. I am looking forward a precious time with your fur babies! I work full time on the weekdays and am alloting a whole day to be a dog sitter/walker! I am currently free on Mondays the whole day to look after your lovely dogs! I have the sweetest dog named Prince who loves to meet other dogs! I don’t have a fence , so I will be leasing dogs whenever we exit my home. We don’t smoke and keep our home aptly clean.

About: Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of caring for an array of pets, dogs included. I've come to recognize the unparalleled uniqueness and exceptional nature that each canine friend brings forth. Your pup's distinct needs and personality traits will be met with my attentive and thoughtful understanding. Working primarily from home grants me the flexibility to create a schedule that aligns seamlessly with my responsibilities. I’m excited to serve you as conveniently as possible. Ensuring the well-being of my dogs is my utmost priority evident in the multiple daily strolls they enjoy. Should your four-legged companion prefer outdoor play within the confines of our private bayside beach where they will enjoy the company of a senior Hound and 2 Weimaraners or yearns for explorative walks filled with intriguing scents, I'm more than ready to cater to their desires.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—whether it’s been my own pets, helping out friends, or rescuing strays in need. Both of my cats were rescued by me, and I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. They’re drawn to me, and I love giving them the same trust and affection they show me. I grew up with big dogs, including two pit bulls and a boxer, so I’m confident and comfortable handling larger breeds. Over the years, I’ve potty trained dogs, taught tricks, and cared for pets with all kinds of temperaments. My experience goes beyond cats and dogs—I’ve also cared for frogs, snakes, turtles, and even had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with elephants in Thailand. My love for animals runs so deep that I’ve been vegan for over a decade. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s truly part of who I am. What I Offer 🐾 A 100% open and flexible schedule—your pets will always get the time, love, and attention they deserve. 🐾 Experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. 🐾 Patience, playfulness, and genuine compassion for every pet I meet. Whether it’s cuddles, walks, playtime, or extra TLC, I’ll treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I have a completely open and flexible schedule, available any day and time. Since I mostly work from home, I can easily accommodate bookings, cancellations, last-minute changes, and special requests. The only exception is occasional weekend evenings after 5 PM, when I work at The Colony in Woodstock. Other than that, I’m always here for you and your pets! I live in a spacious three-bedroom, 2 story home with a large open yard, perfect for pets to play and explore. Your furry friend will have plenty of room to stretch, run, and enjoy the outdoors while getting all the exercise and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy.

“Madelyn has been very communicative and supportive while working with Dio! I greatly appreciate her patience and kindness when working with Dio who is nervous around new people. I will definitely be working with her again!”

About: Experienced with senior dogs, pups with separation anxiety, and those that need medication. Compassionate, attentive, and reliable, you can trust me to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand, wholeheartedly, the stress of leaving your dog! Let me help. I am in between jobs so I currently have open availability. Please let me know in advance, if possible, so I can plan accordingly. Keeping a dog's routine is important while you’re away to help minimize their stress as well as yours. While I can’t host dogs in my apartment, I’m more than happy to provide care in your home where your pet feels safe, relaxed, comfortable and where I can easily adapt to their routines.

“Amy is Fantastic! She is very reliable and always prompt to respond. I had complete confidence in leaving our dog in her care. Highly recommend.”

About: I've loved them all. From guinea pigs to rabbits, hamsters and ferrets, parrots and fish, cats and dogs. I have experience with dogs of many breeds, from German shepherds to Chihuahuas, newfoundlands and jack russells. I try and understand every dog breed to understand their unique needs. No dog is the same! But they all love unconditionally, so I try and give them the same. I have some training in puppies and have experience with puppies as well as elders. I've house sat in the pets homes where I know they are comfortable and can have their routines and environments. I just want to give each pet whatever it is they need. I have had pets since I was born, my first dog being a boxer. Almost never without a dog, but certainly never without a pet. Currently I have a german shepherd/collie mix named Blue. Even at six years old, he has the energy of a puppy! We run every day in a field nearby, sometimes visit the dog park, and have frequent visits with his dog friends. Making sure he is happy and healthy is a daily priority in my life. In the clients home, I get in depth information on their pets routines, food schedules and preparations, walking and play time, and whether they are crated or not. I will follow your instructions to a T.

“Bethany went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy before, during, and after walking him! 10/10”
