Dog Walking Poughquag

About: I've loved caring for dogs since I was young and have experience looking after pets for family, friends, and neighbors. Caring for my own dog through a diagnosis of kidney failure gave me firsthand experience with senior pet care, including administering medication, monitoring health, and providing the extra patience and attention older dogs need. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to provide loving, reliable care so owners can feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a recent college graduate currently searching for a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and am committed to making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. My home is dog-friendly and designed to help your pup feel comfortable and at ease. Dogs are welcome on the couches and beds, just like they're part of the family! I also live near several walking paths and scenic trails, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures during their stay.

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.

“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: Ever since I was young, I have had a strong love for animals, especially dogs. I grew up surrounded by dogs and currently have two of my own. Over the years, I have pet-sat for neighbors and friends, and I always enjoy caring for and spending time with their pets. At college I am part of a club where we work with and volunteer at the local animal shelters. There are photos on my profile that highlight some of the events on campus I have volunteered at to raise money for the puppies at the local animal shelter. I do also have experience with horses. My experience has strengthened my passion for working with animals and reinforced my commitment to providing them with attentive, compassionate care.

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 just got out of the Army after 8 years and had my best friend with me the whole way, a German Shepard named Mac. Sadly he passed about a year ago and I would love to have a new companion but I'm going back to school in the fall and need to focus on that. However, in the mean time I have the whole summer free to care for other's dogs. I live in a house with a large, fenced in yard and all the free time in the world. I'd love to have a dog to play with a d go on walks with. I currently have no obligations until September so I can devote 100% of my time and energy to your pup. Their care will be my full-time job. I have a large, fenced in yard and no other pets or children. I live on a large street perfect for walks and near the rail trail too.
