Dog Walkers in Raymond, NY

About: Hi! Working with animals is a passion of mine. I am a former dog trainer, I foster dogs in my free time. I recently received my Professional Animal Care Provider Certification so you can be sure you're leaving your pal with someone qualified! I have plenty of experience with dogs of all types from all kinds of backgrounds. I also have watched many critters throughout my life and can offer care to just about any animal you have in your home! I want to make sure your animals have the best time while you're away so keeping them active and entertained is important to me! I currently work 1 day a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a house with my husband and sister so someone is always around to give your pals love and attention. They will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time. My goal is to keep your pet's regular routine as best as possible. I have several crates to crate your dog if that is what you prefer. But I also am happy to keep them out in our gated off kitchen living room area. We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play most of the day.

“Sierra could not have been better! As a first time Rover user with a dog that can be quite a handful, while also traveling out of state for a week+, my wife and I were a little worried. The experience was stress-free, my dog loved her, and Sierra went above and beyond in many ways. I would recommend Sierra to anyone and we are so glad we have found someone that can watch our little guy. Pretty sure our little guy was a little sad to see us walking in the door and not Sierra when we returned home.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and sometimes cats for 3 years at a few daycares and boarding facilities. I love animals and would love to provide care for them! I’m currently recovering from a leg injury, so for now I’m focusing on caring for small dogs and cats! I love giving them attention, walks, and cuddles. I’ll be ready to work with bigger dogs again very soon once my leg fully heals! I will provide care for pets at clients home by making sure they are fed, medicated if needed and safely crated after I leave. Also, keep the pets safe from anything dangerous.

About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

About: I have experience as an overnight pet sitter, drop-in visitor, and dog walker, providing dependable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I truly love dogs and all animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about! One of my greatest strengths is communication. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel informed and at ease, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I treat every pet like they are my own and work hard to ensure both pets and owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Along with my nannying experience and active lifestyle, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, providing overnight care, or stopping in for visits and playtime. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine when I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests to make sure each pet feels as stress free as possible. I love spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.

“Melissa is awesome! I needed a dogwalker last minute and she totally came to my rescue. She was beyond personable and professional, and I know my puppy enjoyed having Melissa come take him out for a midday stroll. She even practiced manners with him!! ?”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, and I truly love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. I also have 2 dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I always make sure they get plenty of attention and care! I work full time as a nighttime server, but I love staying active and spending time with dogs, so I’m always excited to fit walks and pet care into my schedule whenever I can! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, energy level, and personality so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible. During walks, I stay alert to surroundings, keep dogs securely leashed, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and water when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all care instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal environment.

About: I care for my blind shih tzu at home, so I know to keep my eyes and ears out to ensure safety for any animal! I am a student athlete at the University of Pittsburgh, so I know how to balance and diligently prioritize things! I currently only am busy for about an hour and a half every morning, to get a run in. Besides that I am free the whole day to take care of and watch your pet! :) I make sure your pet is safe, and feels comfortable in my care. I know when to go slow if a pet is more shy, but also I love to take pets to parks, go on walks, and cuddle!

About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.

“Did a great job.”

About: At age 10, I started my own dog-sitting service from my backyard. Since then, friends and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I have also worked with animals in a number of other capacities: behavior consultations, training and enrichment, rescue, and as a veterinary assistant—both emergency and general practice. I take a particular interest in reactive and fearful dogs. My own dogs were very high maintenance with epilepsy and severe anxiety, and my cat had diabetes, so I took their care very seriously. I treat other people’s pets how I would want mine treated, and that is with the utmost care and respect for the pet's and the owner’s expectations and boundaries. I am committed to providing a safe, healthy, and fun environment for each pet in my care. I work overnights, so I have time during the day to care for clients’ animals. I have plenty of time to devote to your pet and will spend as much time as possible with them. I keep your pet’s routine as close to normal as possible. This is why I care for your pet in your own home instead of home instead of mine—it’s what they know and where they’re most comfortable. I’ll update you with pictures and videos often!

About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.

About: I have experience working with small and large breeds, with varying levels of energy and leash manners. I have also cared for senior dogs with high level medical needs. My qualifications include basic obedience training, monitoring play groups of large and small dogs, and canine CPR and First Aid certification. I am available during week days and most weekends, but please message me if you have questions about specific dates as my calendar does fluctuate! All dogs will be kept on a leash during walks. Safety first! I also have my treat pouch with me at every walk for positive reinforcement to encourage good leash manners.

About: Hi, I'm Tara, an avid and experienced pet lover! I am a clinical psychologist and just earned my doctorate degree (Psy.D). I have a Bachelor's degree in animal behavior, 14 years of dog care/ownership experience, and 14 years of cat care/ownership experience! I have extensive experience with caring for senior pets as well as pets who are on medication/ special needs, as I have had both dogs and cats that require(d) medication. I am willing to walk or run with your dog, of whatever your pet likes to do! My availability is very flexible! I have no preference for breed or size, and I'm also willing to take care of other small pets or plants too if needed! My schedule is flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and take care of your fur babies! I am available to board, provide daycare, drop-in, or walk almost every day of the week! I have a pup at home that is great with other dogs and will happily keep your dog company. I do not have a fenced-in yard, however I do not leave pets unsupervised outside. I do have a fenced-in large patio that is available for pets to hang out/lounge around as well. Inside, your dog will be able to free roam, but with supervision as needed. I can also crate your dog if needed or requested.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 4 years as a vet technician and now embarking on a new career within the pet field. I have fostered over 100 dogs in the last 8 years, young and old, healthy and some with medical needs. I love all fur babies big and small and look forward to this new chapter. I run a small hobby farm and am home 24/7 so available all day to relieve animals for potty breaks or playtime. With animals of my own we are sure to get them the exercise or needs met. I have a large fenced in backyard or a long tie out for those that can jump or climb fencing. I have some playful fur pets that can keep them company or a separate living room if your animal needs his or her own space.

“Renee is lovely and so patient with my anxious pup! We really appreciate her kind approach and attention to detail!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, can't imagine life without them! I've dog sat numerous times for friends and family that have a variety of different dog breeds. I have a 2 year old chocolate lab at my home in Buffalo,NY named Jaxon and it has been so amazing to get to train him and see him grow, he's the best! When I'm away at school I miss him so much so I'm on rover to get my puppy/dog fix until I go back home! I'm a graduate student who just wrapped up an athletic career at SHU so now have loads of free time since classes are online and at night! I have a lot of experience with dogs in various settings. I've had an old dog and a young dog so I understand the difference in care each age group needs.

“Jenny was fantastic with my dog Pierogi! She was very communicative and punctual and my dog took to her immediately. She sent lots of photos and even helped bring in a grocery bag as I sprained my ankle. Would absolutely book again!”
