Dog Walking Queensbury

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by animals. I grew up with a Golden and after he passed, my two old girls, a Pyrenees and a Bernese. When these girls were just little pups I fell in love with training and took a few online courses. Now they know how to do a handful of tricks including bowing and jumping through hoops. I even introduced those talking buttons to the Berner when she was about 4 years old! During high school I volunteered at a ranch, which had working dogs like your border collie, and I also worked at a dog ranch. The dog ranch was where I got a lot of experience with dogs really quick. From 3lbs Chihuahuas to 160lbs Great Danes, I’ve managed a lot! Here I would walk the dogs on leash twice daily one at a time. If I wasn’t walking dogs I was either feeding them, giving them their medication, or cleaning. I have also had plenty of experience house sitting. Since I grew up in a small farm town, many of my friends had dogs and cats that needed to be taken care of while they were gone; so I was the lucky one who got to take care of their critters! I grew up in a small town in Alberta (Canada) and just graduated University with a degree in Psychology. I hope to somehow incorporate my love for psychology and my love for animals into a career. I’m not too sure exactly what that would look like, but I am interested in therapy dogs. Currently, however, my goal is to eliminate my student loans. I am working full time but since I am working both day and night shifts I have a lot of days off too. And during those days I hope to take care of some of your pups! My/my parent’s doggos are back in Alberta and I miss them so much. It’s one of the more difficult parts of being away from home. However, I currently live with my brother’s high-energy German shepherd. We play fetch, go on hikes, and if I sit to watch a movie she’ll beg to play but then settle down to cuddle. She’s a great pupper. As for your pups, whatever you and your dog needs I’ll do my very best to accommodate! Walks, cuddles, play time, training routines, etc. you name it.

About: Pets are my specialty! I grew up with dogs, cats, lizards and birds so I have a ton of experience loving and caring for whatever animal you have at home. I have two dogs and a cat of my own and am comfortable with anxious, high-energy, and reactive dogs. I am home a majority of the time and I can be available at short notice and for any service you need. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of availability to play with your pets! I am available most days so don’t be afraid to book day of. I have attended multiple dog training courses and am experienced with handling dogs with a variety of temperaments. I am comfortable crating, playing, and running around with your pet!

About: I have loved taking care of dogs my entire life. I am lucky enough to be able to help with my five grand dogs. All very different ages and personalities. I’m currently semi retired and looking forward to doing something that I love. Dogs have always been a part of my life and even when we had five little kids in the house, I knew we still needed a dog to add more love and craziness. Now those kids have dogs and I really enjoy being a big part of their life and care. Best “non paying” job ever. I'd welcome the opportunity to help with you with your pups and make new friends. I would be happy to come to your home and help in any way I can. Anything from sitting with, taking out, walking, running, or just playing playing with your pups. I have experience taking care of multiple dogs at once.

She is always there for me even in short notice. I am extremely greatful for her attentive care, passion for animals and over all kind spirit. It comes without any reservation that I would wholeheartedly recommend Colleen for any type of care.”

About: I grew up on a farm, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cows, and various small animals. From a young age, I’ve always had dogs and cats in my home, and animal care has been a constant part of my life. I currently work at a dog training facility, where I am continuing to advance my career as a professional dog trainer. On a daily basis, I work with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and unique quirks, and I’m confident handling nearly all dogs. I’m experienced in the proper use of training tools such as prong and starmark collars, slip leads, and ecollars. At home, I share my life with four dogs and five cats, further reinforcing my comfort and confidence in multi-pet environments. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, and nail trims are available upon request for an additional fee. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you choose me, you can rest assured your furry family member will be in capable, caring hands I am currently only available in the evenings after 5pm through the week and all day Fri-Sun. Send me a message and we can work something out! I am flexible and can make almost anything work. I am CPR / first aid certified as well. My dogs have a routine we follow and I would love to help keep your pets in theirs while you’re away! Send me a message and let me know what you’re looking for!

About: Hi, I’m Shawn! I have spent the last few years working in a professional doggy daycare and boarding facility. While I love animals, I realized that massive, chaotic pack environments aren't the best fit for my philosophy of care—or for many dogs. I transitioned to independent pet sitting so I could give individual animals the quiet, focused, and low-stress attention they truly deserve. Because of my professional background, I am highly trained in dog body language, safety protocols, and keeping pets calm and happy. Your dog will never have to compete for attention or feel overwhelmed here! I do work part time but i am very interested, thoroughly enjoy working with animals and looking to pet sit/walk/board full time!! Thank you! I have a nice big open yard at my home, I do have 3 cats inside my home. In clients homes i always make sure the boundaries and any feeding/medication instructions are clear and precise!

About: Animal Handling Experience - I have been caring for animals as a career consistently for the last 3 years. I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the last year at a reputable animal hospital and have truly found my calling in life. I feel that my experience in the veterinary field provides both pet owners and myself peace of mind when your animals are under my supervision. I know what little symptoms are concerning and important to note that others may miss. I make sure to track bathroom habits and meals. I am confident managing and giving medications to your pets while you are away. Dog Walking - Extensive experience walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I am very popular within my neighborhood and my family to care for dogs when people don't have time, and I am always punctual. I like the walks to be enjoyable for the dogs, not just a task that the walker has to complete. Overnight Stays - During overnight stays I also offer to bring in mail, packages, and water plants. When I care for an animal I make sure they receive special attention that goes beyond food and water. I play with them and provide enrichment, walks, and exercise. This includes visits as frequently as requested and caring for all the animals' special needs. Fish, Reptiles, Rodents, and Birds- I enjoy spending time with all animals, so if there are any other critters in the home I would love to help take care of them as well. I currently have a lively aquarium and have previously kept birds and reptiles so I am comfortable looking after our fur-less friends. I currently work four days a week and my shifts are approximately from 8am-6pm. I get a full hour for my lunch breaks so I am available for drop in visits and walks mid-day if the residence is within 15 minutes of the hospital I work at. I typically work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I get my schedule almost a month in advance so I am able to commit confidently to future events. I care for your pets however you need. I understand that some animals have truly interesting quirks and I'm ready to do whatever your fur baby needs. Do we need to sing a specific song to go into our crate? Do we have a 15 step dinner routine? I am here for it all, and I'll be talking to your pet throughout every step.

“Mark was great at walking our dog Leo and keeping him company while we were out on Lake George. He was very communicative and sent pictures showing us that Leo was happy hanging with a new friend. We look forward to booking with him again.”
