Dog Walking Poughquag

“Steve does a great job with my dog Gus. He came and walked him while I was out of town for a few days. He has very great communication and I felt confident leaving Gus in his care. Highly recommend to others!”

About: I have been an active volunteer with the Elmore SPCA in Peru Ny for 4 years. I often walk, socialize, enrich, and foster the dogs in the shelters care. I have worked with puppy's as young as 3 months up to the elder dogs to provide comfort. I am currently home for summer between my graduate years of college, my work schedule varies week to week. I have lived in this area for my entire life and am comfortable with traveling for the care. Unfortunately during this time I am unable to have pets in my home. To ensure the safety for me and your pets I have completed all state required ASPCA programs to work professionally with animals. The topics for dogs and cats included; body language, diseases, safety and management, and cleaning regulations. I have regularly walked and fostered dogs from Elmore SPCA in upstate NY. Through them I have gained lots of experience handling different breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages of dogs.

“Jessie is an exception person that took amazing care of our pup Tully! She has solid communication skills, has an incredible understanding of dogs and easily determined was needed for Tully to quickly trust and bond with her. We look forward to using her again!!”

About: I have been pet sitting dogs for over 7 years! When a dog comes into my home they are part of the family and have free range of the house. We do not crate board unless that’s what the owner wants. Caring, calm and cozy home for your dogs next stay! I am a stay at home mom that loves animals. So caring for dogs and other pets is just another part of my daily routine! I provide care exactly how the owner wants. Feeding and walking schedules are done as requested by the owner! I can administer medication if needed and any other service that may be requested. I am flexible and caring, and can adjust to any needed routine!

“Annie was great with my girls they had fun and responded really well to her even the difficult one. She was very well prepared, reliable, and responsible. Would never hesitate to use her again”

About: As a college student who genuinely loves animals, I bring both enthusiasm and responsibility to every pet I care for. I have experience watching and caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, and I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and basic grooming. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each dog’s individual needs—I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level. I’m especially attentive to safety and making sure dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I can handle energetic dogs who need lots of exercise as well as older dogs who require a gentler approach and extra care. I’m also dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is in good hands. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m available most weekdays around my classes and have open availability on weekends. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I will follow all care instructions closely, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and ensure a calm, clean, and secure environment. I’m attentive to details like locked doors, safe walking practices, and keeping harmful items out of reach. I also take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. I will keep you updated regularly so you feel confident your pet is safe and happy.

About: I work at an animal rescue with all different types of dogs. From 4 week old puppies, to 14 year old curmudgeon-y dogs. I am ASPCA certified, and I know how to read a dog’s body language. I have experience and confidence measuring, and administering medications. Making sure that your dog(s) are safe, healthy, fed, and walked are my top priority, and I’m looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I work part time at an animal rescue, and much of my day is empty. I do not work Wednesdays or Thursdays. I have limited availability on Fridays and Saturdays I will respect your pets boundaries, and will always be sure to keep your home clean and comfortable. Your fur baby, home, and belongings will be safe and sound.

“Leilani had a great time with Kevin. They went for nice long walks and she was very comfortable with him. Kevin was very communicative about their time together and even sent pics of my furbaby. Would highly recommend!”

About: I took care of dogs around my neighborhood as a teen. For the past year I’ve been training a psychiatric service dog through my school. He lives with me full time! I am currently a student, so around my classes I have a lot of time to care for pets, especially on weekends. I love making the time to meet new animals and be outdoors. I have experience caring for dogs in my neighborhood and am always sure to leave a house as good or better than I found it.

About: I am a big believer that humans need dogs as much as dogs need humans and I would love to be that human for your dog! I am currently a student at Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine earning a Masters degree in Biomedical science. I have classes during the week from 8-12, but spend every minute after class home in my apartment with the exception of an hour break to go to the gym. On the weekends i am often studying, so I will be home at all times. I have a small one bedroom apartment that has plenty of room for a dog to have free range. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed so that is no issue. There is plenty of room for a crate, which i would prefer if I am leaving the dog alone while I am at class. There is an excellent 2 mile walking trail around my complex that I do daily and would love to take your dog as my companion!

“Barbara is so kind and caring. She took great care of Piper.”

“We are so glad we met Stephanie! Upon her arrival, our two 70+ lb pups were bouncy and very excited to meet her. Before even entering the house, she got them to sit and get calm. She shared great photos and didn’t leave the house until she made sure the pups had what they needed to be comfortable for the rest of the day. Our pups can’t wait to see her again!!”

“We’ve used Richie several times to walk and feed our 2 pitties and could not be happier. He was professional, communicative, and loved on our babies while we were away. We are super picky about who we allow not only into our home, but to care with our doggies. Richie never disappointed! We will absolutely utilize him again in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a great person to take care of your animals needs. Thanks Richie for being so great!”

About: I have loved and been around animals my entire life; I say all the time I’d rather be in the presence of animals than humans ha ha ha! I have worked for a veterinary office, had my own animals, and have looked over friends and families animals. I pride myself on being a true animal lover & will go above & beyond for your fur babe & your family. I’m currently a SAHM who wants more interaction with animals (for my children as well)! My availability is pretty open. You let me know what’s needed & Im sure I can make it work! Whatever you prefer- I’d do! Crate, free range, leash, walks…We have a clean, fun (3 kiddos), and non-smoking home. Your pet would be considered like my own~ whether that be snuggles, hiding in the basement from storms together, or going on leisurely walks together. They’d be like my own for their time w/ me.
