Dog Walkers in New Paltz, NY

About: I had a dog for 14 years who just recently unfortunately passed away. Having a furry friend in my life made such a huge impact on me and I love caring for them. I grew up not only having a dog, but pet sitting for many people in my community. I would love to care for your pets as it brings you peace and comfort and it is a joy for me to do so. I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter on Rover for over 3 years with 5-star reviews and plenty of repeat clients. I’m excited to be moving to Poughkeepsie, NY and am now accepting new clients in the area! I treat every pet like family and prioritize clear communication, reliability, and lots of love. Looking forward to meeting your furry best friend! I just graduated college so I will be working on rover full time and will be home all days of the week with your pet! I am moving into a new apartment which is dog friendly with a nice dog park downstairs. I will be doing rover full time and whatever your needs may be I will obtain them:)

“Kim is truly one of the best! She was so consistent and reliable giving Dexter a long walk and often took him to new places to explore. She gave him great exercise and also let him play and I know she loved him as much as he loved her. I cannot recommend someone enough!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, from big Rottweilers to tiny Chihuahuas, so I’m super comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. Right now, I have a senior Shih Tzu, so I totally get what it takes to care for older pups who need a little extra patience and love. I’m always the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs some playtime, cuddles, or someone to stick to their routine, I’ve got them covered! I just graduated college this past May and I’m spending some time in New Paltz before heading back to NYC. The slower pace has been a nice change, and since I’m not working full-time right now, my schedule’s super flexible. That means I’ve got plenty of time to hang with your pup, whether it’s a midday walk, weekend visit, or regular drop-ins during the week. Just let me know what they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I stick closely to their routine so they feel relaxed and well cared for in their own home. I’ll send plenty of photos and stay in touch so you always know your pet is happy and doing great. I’m also comfortable giving meds or handling anything specific your pup might need.

“Always on time, flexible, professional. Couldn't ask for more!”

About: Hi, My name is Max! I am a sophomore in college hoping to get my bachelor’s degree in biology! I’m a huge animal lover!! I have played basketball for my whole life up until this year so I love to get outside and throw the tennis ball or kick the soccer ball with my sweet doggo! I’ve always grown up surrounded by so many pets which makes me want to pursue being a Vet! I have a dog of my own, Buddy and one other dogs in the house named Sheena I’ve volunteered for many shelters and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve also pet sat for a lot of family and friends when they’ve gone out of town. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family! I’m currently working full time so I have plenty of time to be with your pup and play with your pup and give them lots of love. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company and I have a huge yard and a pool if your dogs love swimming.

“Excellent dog walker, reliable and nice to animals!”

About: I've owned a small dogwalking/pet sitting business since 1999. I am CPDT-KA certified in dog training as well. I've worked with all breeds of dogs, ages with many different dispositions. My dogs are in small, friendly groups(3-5) that walk daily in Prospect Park. I'm not like other walkers who just walk around the block....I think it's important for the pups to be in nature, sniff & roll in the grass & get all those good smells in! I do all private training lessons(in your home) & specialize in puppy training Walking/training/boarding dogs is my professional job. I'm home throughout the day except for dog walks throughout the day. I also do training mostly on the weekends. I have a ground floor apt in a quiet neighborhood. All my dogs get out at least 4 times a day , usually with one outing to Prospect Park daily.

“Rebecca is a Dream! She is super flexible and is a great communicator. She has walked Boscoe twice and he loves her. She is very prepared when she comes to walk him. I look forward to having Rebecca as our permanent dog walker!”

“Lena has been a huge help with our dogs. She has a great ability to observe and communicate with the dogs to teach them how to deal with surprises, other dogs, and all else that could get them wound up. Truly appreciate Lena’s experience and skills.”

“Akash was great with my 11 month old lab, Clancy. I hired him for a 60-minute walk & he went above and beyond by offering to take Clancy on a local nature hike instead of his usual walks around the neighborhood. Akash was a great communicator, and kept me updated with pictures & short videos of Clancy hiking, which was awesome! I look forward to hiring Akash again!”

About: I have had my own dog, Stella, for 2 years, since she was a puppy. I frequently babysit my neighbor's dog, Mako, who is a 6 month old puppy. I know the ins and outs of watching, feeding, and entertaining dogs. Additionally I previously worked at an animal shelter where I was responsible for multiple dogs at the same time. My dog gets walked and fed at around 6 am, then walked again at 11-12 am depending on if she peed or pooped or both prior. Then she gets walked at 5 pm before dinner, and again before bed at around 8-9 pm. She usually gets 10-15 minute walks each time depending on how long it takes for her to do her business and play. I will take care of all my responsibilities in a timely and thorough manner. I understand that dogs are family members and they need to be treated with love, patience and care and I also understand how much trust you are putting in me to take care of your pet.

About: Hi there! I decided to take my 23 years experience of loving and caring for animals to the next level by becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician 3 years ago and would love to continue to help you care for your amazing pups! Being an LVT I am familiar and comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have the knowledge and skills to correctly care for your furry family member in any situation. I currently have my own crazy mixed breed who needs an incredible amount of exercise every day so I understand how sometimes we all need a little help on hectic days! I have a very flexible schedule so just let me know what I can do to help! I am available to do walks, check ins, and boarding stays!

About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. I rescued one of my first kittens with a neighborhood friend when I was 5. As I got older, I would help take care of my brother’s girlfriend’s dogs by walking and feeding them. Whenever I would visit, my brother’s girlfriend would bring me with her and have me watch as she trained dogs since she was a dog trainer. During the time when I was 14, I was asked by my friend to take care of her dog in vermont for a day at a camp while she was at her sister’s wedding. I made sure this puppy got frequent shade, water, attention, I played with him and we took walks together! I have taken care of little dogs to big dogs but I am more comfortable with dog sitting small-medium sized dogs as I have been supervised only with big dogs. I’m currently in prep courses to obtain my GED, so I am free most of the time to take care of your fur babies! I am in classes during 6pm to 8:30pm on Tuesdays to Thursdays. When I take care of my client’s pets in their home, I make sure that they are well fed by asking my client their preferred feeding times. I will walk their dog or give the pet attention by playing or giving affection. If my client’s pet is a cat, I’ll make sure their litter box is cleaned. I always ask what preferences the client may have for their pet. I do well when information is written down so that I can remember what needs to be done to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of.

About: I've had pets my whole life, starting with 2 dogs and 2 cats growing up. I've been working at a veterinarian for almost 2 years. I hold them during appointments - give them my full attention and make them feel safe and loved. I work with up to 100 pets a week, mostly dogs and cats, and occasionally rabbits, guinea pigs, and chickens. Overall, I have love for all living creatures and give them the love, affection, and full attention they deserve. Working at a vet, I am very in-tune with each animal's energy. My biggest strength is making each pets feel safe and secure, during vet appointments where they're often already stressed. With a dog, cat, rabbit, and guinea pig, I shower them with affection and provide them with clean environments, love and attention, and space to play and have fun. Pets are family and they deserve to be showered with love. My guinea pig and rabbit each have their own large cages, as well as large play pens to exercise and explore. My cat is mostly indoor and surrounded by scratching posts and toys. My German Shepard requires a lot of attention, love, and exercise. We go in walks of 30 minutes 2x each day. Each and every dog and cat is different and I spend special attention to get to know each pet and what they need.

About: Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m currently in college looking to make extra money and cuddle some extra animals! I’ve had a dog since the age of 6 and two cats! I worked at a pet hotel for a bit but have decided to branch off for a more personal connection! I offer pet visits, walking, and overnight stays! I would love to dog/cat board but my animals are picky on their furry friends! I’ve pet sit for friends and family many times over and would love to provide care to any furry child of yours! I have experience in all fields I offer and my availability is almost wide open for your furry friends at home that need full attention! Thank you :-)

About: Hi! My name is Erin, I have a lot of experience with animals of all kind and especially love dogs. I raised and trained my dog that I got in 11th grade, she now lives with my mom because she’s grown so fond of having her around! I know how to potty train, train to sit lay down and all of that fun stuff! I love playing with dogs, going on runs and walks, playing- anything! I’m available everyday, I work at a restaurant at night but usually the time that a dog would be sleeping! Very flexible and accommodating. I live in a pet friendly apartment and go on daily walks/ runs by myself so I would bring your best bud with me every morning! They will be in good hands and looked after as my own. and a little tired after running around! I also can pick up/ drop off your pet if needed. I work nights at a restaurant usually around the time that your pet would be sleeping so it wouldn’t affect them having plenty of attention and love while they’re awake! I care for all animals the same way as I treat my own! Daily walks and cuddles will be provided as well as stimulation !

“Abbie is a reliable, caring dog walker. She always make sure to take extra good care of my puppers!”
