Dog Walkers in Oakdale, NY

“Jen was an excellent find on Rover for me. She was friendly, easy to work with and she cared for my pup very well for his short visit with her. Jen has a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and I was very comfortable that he was in a good care. And I got a picture which was a nice surprise! Thank you again Jen!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, from dogs and cats to fish and small rodents. I began pet sitting at 14 and have built years of experience providing reliable, attentive care for pets of all kinds. I recently graduated college and my schedule is super flexible so I have a lot of time to myself and I hope to spend some of that time helping people care for their pets ! I take care of pets in clients' homes by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep their environment safe and provide toys to keep them entertained. I also keep the space clean and share updates with the client about their pet's behavior. My main goal is to make sure their pets feel happy and comfortable while they're away.

About: I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs since I was 13. I've had my own dogs, as well as caring for and watching many friends' and neighbors' dogs overnight. I simply adore dogs and I believe they can sense it. I'm very patient, calm, & will treat your dog with the upmost of care. I'm dedicated to dog sitting and walking! My schedule is flexible and I'm available 5 days (Sunday through Thursday in the day), and overnights Sunday through Thursday as well. I'm comfortable staying over a client's house. I'm respectful of property and very clean. I will become fast friends with your fur baby and play with them for hours.

“First time having someone walk our dog and Sandy was patient, professional and friendly with our skittish rescue. She knew just what to do so our pooch would calm down and trust her.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and rescue enthusiast based in oakdale. I’ve had the joy of fostering several dogs over fthe years, and it’s taught me how to connect quickly with pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets who need a little extra attention—whether that means administering medications, taking things at their pace, or just offering calm companionship. Whether you need someone for a drop-in visit, a walk, or to keep your pup company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re family and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m happy to share updates and photos to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Let’s connect and see how I can help care for your furry friend! As a remote worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Whether it’s a midday walk, an early morning drop-in, or keeping your pet company for a few hours, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your needs. Working from home also means I’m never in a rush—I have the time and attention to give your pet the care they deserve. I can pop in for frequent visits or stay for longer periods if needed, and I’m always just a message away if you want an update or a quick photo of your furry friend. My calm, consistent presence helps pets feel safe and relaxed, especially those who may experience separation anxiety or are more comfortable sticking to a familiar routine. In my home, pets are treated like family—because they are! Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed if that’s what they’re used to (and love). I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I follow whatever routines they’re used to, whether that’s morning walks, mealtime rituals, or quiet time snuggled up on the couch.

“Samantha was great taking care of our dog. She’s so responsive to every message and we loved that we could set up a meet and greet before her check in! Our pup loved that he was able to get out while we were at work and I loved the thorough updates on how her visit went. We will definitely be using her for our future puppy needs! Thank you Samantha!!”

About: As from a former animal foster family and being pet sitter since I was 14, I promise to adore and protect your furry family the same way I do my own 4 cats and 3 dogs. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. Whether it is going for a walk, or a daily drop-ins, I will give them all the attention they desire and match whatever energy they need. I think animals make our lives so much better, and it’s only right to give them the best love and care they deserve! I am a college student looking to take her academic breaks to make a bit of money for school and destress at the same time by being around some amazing fluffy friends. It’s honestly one of the best jobs because of who I get to work with! My variability does vary as a product of my schooling. I am a very regimented person. I like steps and structure, and follow the needs of the pets and desires of owners to the letter. I find it important not to change too much on your pets when you are away, so sticking to their system and what they know best will reduce their stress. It’s their home and their space, I’m just visiting.

“He did a great job and my dog actually improved behavior as a result.”

About: I’ve taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember. From baby to senior, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats. I currently have a bearded dragon so I have no issue with “exotic” animals. Family friends have let me pet sit. I walk family dogs at least twice a day depending on energy levels. I’ve just graduated college and am in the middle of transitioning from college to adult life, so I have a very open schedule at the moment and my hours are quite flexible during this time. I would be capable of feeding, and walking the pets. I can clean out litter boxes or enclosures. Play time so that the pet could release some energy. I could put the animal in a crate if it’s required after a certain time.

“tracey always arrives promptly, has a genuine caring demeanor with mily and gives a thorough report of the walk. she goes above & beyond to make it a positive experience for our dog & us a dog owners.”

About: I love all animals, but I have a special place in my heart for dogs! I grew up with a family dog and have cared for many of my friends’ and family members’ pets over the past 10 years. I’ve also trained my own dog and love learning new tips and techniques to help pets thrive. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a long hike on the trails, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I’m also hoping that by dog sitting and walking, I’ll finally convince my husband that it’s time for us to adopt our own pup soon! 🐶❤️ I currently work Tues-Thurs full time in NYC office and available most weekends. My husband and I enjoy filling our free time walking and caring for dogs. He and I both will care for your beloved furry baby like it is our own. I’m available most weekdays after work and weekends with notice. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or house rules and will make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. From walks and feedings to baths, medication, and extra snuggles — I’ll treat your pet like part of the family!
