Dog Walkers in Poestenkill, NY

“Laina is an exceptional dog walker. Phoebe, a bit stubborn and hesitant to accompany people, gradually became friends with Laina and was delighted to join her for walks. Laina’s calming presence made Phoebe feel at ease, and she instantly trusted her. I would highly recommend Laina for any dog walking needs.”

“A great, caring great dog-walker! Understands how to encourage my old guy to go for a leisurely walk, not just pee and go back inside right away.”

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember. As a child, one of my core memories is caring for my pets. I also wanted to nurture and support them. Whether it was a fish, a duck-yes a duck, a bunny, a little birdy, a cat or a dog. I always loved my pets so very much. I pretty much grew up with pitbulls and once I moved on my own I took in an abused 1 1/5 year old male pitbull/shepherd mix and he is my best buddy to this day! I currently work a part time but I am aloud to make my own schedule! So I am available mornings until 10AM Tuesdays and Thursdays, Wednesday mornings until 12PM, and all 3 days after 2PM. While pet sitting I ask the parent for details on whether or not they have a set schedule with their pet, how strict is it, any medications needed, things the pet loves to do, things the pet isn't too fond of, etc. I normally act as if the pet is my own. We play, we go outside, out for walks, treat breaks, of course feeding and hyrdating and a little bit of dancing! A whole lot of lovings!

“Jailin & John were great communicators and took the dog on great walks! Would recommend!”

About: Hi there! I’m Net. 🙂 I’m the go-to gal of my friends and family for watching their four-legged kid - and I love that reputation. I’m here to help ease those worries of last-minute changes to your everyday itinerary or lessen stress when being cross-country on travel - I get that because being there has done the same! And what is more of a bonus for me to make another pal? Seems like a win-win situation if you ask me. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated and compassionate when it comes to animals. They have always been one of my favorite things in this world. Growing up with birds, rabbits, cats, dogs, you name it - really helped that love grow and helped me to also learn how to be responsible, coordinate time management and even how to properly take care of them along the way at a young age. Fast-forward - I took the next step to wanting to know and learn more about them. So I signed myself up back in 2017 and took an online course to more knowledge and become a vet assistant where I later on finished my hours at a local vet hospital. I was taught valuable skills, such as patience in the field, restraint techniques, administering medication and the importance of detail, etc. I even have some background in doggy daycare! What can I say? I can’t get enough of these little guys. Learning everything from grooming and bathing techniques, to animal behavior of personalities and the ability to understand each animal’s needs and anxieties. Don’t forget the play! I’ll even put on a good jam for us too and break out in a dance party. Putting more experience under my belt in something that fills my soul and cup. I always say when you enjoy something you love it first, and it’s a job second. Hopefully, I’ll have the opportunity and chance to meet your dog, too! 🐶🤍 I’m currently working early in the morning, so I have a lot of downtime to take care of and hang out with your little one(s). Monday through Saturday, I’m free after 12:30pm and all day Sundays. Occasionally, I could have an extra day off during the middle of the week. Just shoot me a message! I will be more than happy to accommodate what I can. I have a whole pack at home myself. Did I mention that? Yup! Five in total to be exact. Ranging from all different breeds, the oldest is almost 13 and the youngest just turned 1. So keeping them occupied is definitely something we have adjusted and accommodated to. We have a whole fenced-in yard, a toy box that can't fit much left, walks are a very essential part of our daily life and activity, and we tend to rotate our pack in groups from going to breweries/wineries, to hikes and even events such as dog parks, farmers market and whatever else events tend to be happening at the time. If this is something you're interested in acclimating and a small dose over time, happy to bring them along with! Of course, the occasional cupcakes and cookies I make for my kids at home. Let me know if they have any allergies and I will be happy to bring a small bag over when I stop by! 🙂

“She was very good, Gigi was always well cared for each day. If I ever need someone for Gigi she will definitely be my 1st choice.”

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

“Reliable, flexible and a great communicator. Strongly recommend!!”

“Angela was lovely and took great care of our puppies, despite one being extra spicy and the other extra poopy. Always takes them on nice long walks which we usually don’t have the spoons to do ourselves. Thanks so much!”

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.

“She was fantastic my husky loved her. Second visit and already goes bunkers when she arrives. Great communication, map of her walked areas , pics. Etc”

About: I love love dogs and cats and any animals. I will make sure your pets are very well taken care of ! I’ve watched plenty of dogs and cats before with the utmost care.

“Alexandra has been walking my dog for the past three months, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is attentive, warm, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. My dog adores her! Her communication is excellent, and the photos she sends are always amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 14 years old, whether it was for friends or family members. I have also taken care of older animals who need medicine and special care so I am experienced in that section. Additionally I’ve had multiple cats and dogs in my own home, that I’ve taken care of since they were kittens and puppies. I have a part time door dashing job. Which means I. En check in pets at anytime of the day. I’m free every day of the week. Whether it’s overnights or just checking in on pets. Making sure a pet is comfortable around me in incredibly important. So that the rest do our time together can be fun and safe for both of us. I love playing with animals, but not as much as snuggling them. (If they like that) :)

“Julia did a great job walking our dog while we were away! He gets nervous around people he doesn’t know but she came by to meet him first, which really helped. Thank you, Julia! We would like to use you again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around many different types of pets, most common were cats and dogs. I currently have two cats and one friendly dog of my own. I work 8–5 in Colonie during the week and can stop by before or after work for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also available for overnight stays to keep your pets company in their own home. On weekends I’m more flexible—your pet can stay with me and join us for hikes and walks, or I can stay at your home if they prefer their own space or aren’t dog-friendly. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have 6 acres of land and walk my own dog regularl, often taking long walks down the road or around the property

About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks. He is punctual, polite, and communicative. I can tell Astor enjoys his walks because every day I have off, like clockwork, he looks for Jose.”

“Very thorough when taking my pup out and she follows all instructions to a T!! Will be booking regularly.”
