Dog Walking Riverdale

About: Hi! Animals have always been important in my life. I grew up in Brooklyn feeding and befriending a feral cat colony in my backyard, so I started caring for animals at a young age and never looked back. I am the only person in my household who will be responsible for your pets! From 2014 to 2023 I worked as an LVT in a variety of clinic and hospital settings. I'm comfortable with subcutaneous injections (including fluid administration), wound care, administering medications, and generally any at-home treatments that your veterinarian would put in their discharge instructions (cleaning ears, changing a wound bandage, paw soaks, etc) If you have a dog or cat with special needs, including a senior pet, they already have a special place in my heart and I'd love to meet them. Over the years, I've done seasonal pet-sitting/dog-walking as well as caring for the pets of friends and family when needed. I'm a stay-at-home mom, cat butler, and chicken tender. My son started pre-K in September, so my availability during the week is typically 8:30-4, with some flexibility. I can also be available for evening visits/walks and specific weekends if booked in advance In my home, dogs and cats are allowed on furniture. We have 3 acres for leashed walks, as well as plenty of safe neighborhoods and parks nearby. Our home has a separate downstairs living space with its own bathroom and doors to the outside. I've raised 8 chickens on our property so far and last year my husband and I adopted two female Sphynx kittens, Nosy and Yaya.

“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”

About: I have spent many years caring for my own rescue pups and volunteering at a local animal shelter. I am very patient and focus on understanding your dog's unique needs. Your dog's happiness is my #1 priority. I work from home and have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs. I love going for long walks with a furry friend. I am available for boarding weekdays and weekends. I am located in a quiet neighborhood with many options for walks and have a large yard for play and activities. I will always make sure your pet is secure on their leash before stepping outside and will keep them safe on walks and around the home. I will ensure that they get the attention that they deserve.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also dog‑sat for friends and family giving me experience with different breeds, personalities and routines. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of time for walks, play breaks, feeding and keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort. I build my work schedule around their needs so they get consistent attention and companionship instead of long stretches alone. Whether it’s a midday walk, extra snuggles or sticking to their usual routine, I’m able to give them steady, reliable care all week long. I have a quiet, calm and pet‑friendly home that’s perfect for animals who enjoy a peaceful environment. Since I don’t have any pets of my own, your dog gets my full attention and a stress‑free space with no competition for affection. I keep my home clean, safe and comfortable and I have a deck where pets can relax outside, enjoy some fresh air and soak up the sun.

About: I became a dog mom 2 years ago but I’ve always been a dog and just animal lover my whole life and I’ve also volunteered in animal shelters. My fur baby, Kiera, is a pitbull that we rescued 2 years ago. and shes the biggest mush. I love her dearly and she makes every day so much brighter I’m currently home full-time with my daughter, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I always show respect and responsibility when entering someone else’s home to care or walk their babies because I know I would like the same if someone was taking care of my fur baby

“She was awesome, super nice. She came on time , was super flexible when I had to change appointment times. Obviously loves dogs. Would highly recommend she’s great.”

About: Hello! My name is Corinne and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Whether it’s a playful puppy or senior dog, I treat every pet like they’re apart of my family. I have a combination of reliability, communication, and personalized care. You will never have to guess how your pet is doing as I provide you with updates and photos! You will always feel at ease as I give each animal the patience and love they deserve! From long walks to affection, I will always make sure your pets get the care and attention that they deserve. Every pet deserves trustworthy care and I cannot wait to care for your furry friend. I am currently in school for MRI. As of right now, I can do weekends and even weekdays depending on your schedule and routine! Starting January, my schedule will become a lot more flexible as I will have more pet sitting hours available throughout my school year. I am more than happy to work with your schedule and make any necessary adjustments to care for your pet and help make your life easier. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable and safe while respecting your household routines. I will follow all instructions as every pet is unique! I maintain consistency and comfort that your pets know best so that they feel secure. Safety is always a first. Doors and gates are always locked and secured while all walks are handled safely and carefully. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own by cleaning up after your pet and keeping your home neat. Communication is key for me as I will always keep you updated and contact you when needed. My goal is to give your pet loving, reliable care while giving you a peace of mind while you’re away from home.

“Amber has been great with weekly walks for our large but nervous dog. She has been patient and let him warm up at his own pace with lots of feedback as to how he’s doing from day to day. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs.”

About: I am a full-time pet sitter who is reliable, detail-oriented, and funny. I have been providing professional pet care services for dogs and cats for the past 12 years. I am available for both short-notice and regularly scheduled walks. Should you require overnight visits, I am also available to provide care for your pet in your home. Our pet care relationship begins with a phone call or e-mail to discuss your pet's needs. After that, we will have a consultation to meet and further discuss the particulars of your pet's needs and my visits with your pet. You can rest assured that your pet is well cared for because after each visit I will leave a note detailing how your pet was during the visit. For overnight visits, I will e-mail or text the details of the visit to you. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your pet! I am a full time pet sitter so I am always available to give your pets the one on one love and attention they deserve. I have been providing overnight care for pets for twelve years. When pets are kept in their home environment they’re much more comfortable than in a boarding facility.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep love for dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been responsible for their care, training, and overall well-being since I was little. I’m also a college athlete, so I’m highly active and love going on long walks, runs, and playing fetch to keep dogs engaged and happy. Before college, I was a frequent dog walker and sitter in my town, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Most recently, my family welcomed a golden doodle puppy named Frankie, and I played a big role in training her. Whether it’s caring for an energetic pup or an older dog needing patience and attention, I bring both experience and enthusiasm to every pet I watch I’m a college student with an extremely flexible schedule. I have availability mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Weekends, holidays, you name it in around. Happy and excited to help! Your dog will live comfortably in my home as if it’s a member of our family. I live in an amazing neighborhood with a dog park near by to walk your dog around. I also have a fenced in yard to ensure your pet is safe. I can also provide a crate if needed.

“Phenomenal dog walker. Very quick to respond and provides great care for my dog. He really enjoys her walks.”

About: My 10 year old and I love it when your babies enjoy a swim in the lake in the summer and/or a walk around the lake with us. Rest assured your fur babies will be happy and healthy while you are away. Our standard poodle is my daughter’s best girl. We go for walks at least once per day around the lake (1.6 miles around). Sometimes we even go more than once and we all get a good workout in! We usually care for dogs here at home, however, I am open to caring for your fur babies at your house, if you prefer! Let me know!

“Jill is really nice, takes great care of our dogs and is good at communicating! Highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give lots of love to their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own. I currently work part-time and am also a full-time student, so I’m available on weekends only, from 7am–7pm, for dog walking. I love spending time outdoors and making sure every walk is safe, fun, and full of care and attention. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new friends. I always supervise playtime and can crate your dog if needed. I keep a calm, clean, and safe environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure.

About: I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviors. In my teen years, my family would often take in dogs coworker’s and family friend’s dogs. That gave me plenty of experience with one on one care. At home I currently have a 8 year old Rottweiler named Coco. She can be a bit temperamental, so I am used to dogs with specific boundaries (i.e. no petting). I am a very loving and caring pet owner, who can’t wait to meet yours! I just graduated from Montclair State, so my schedule has freed up significantly! I’m available most days as long as I am booked relatively ahead of time. I very thoroughly take care of pets. All I want is for them to be happy, healthy, and safe. If there are any specific care requirements, please let me know.

“Very reliable, and so loving with our pup - they were fast friends! She asked all the right questions and paid very close attention to details when working to meet our needs. Thank you Sabrina!”

About: Hi’ I have been a dog caretaker for over a year now, and have grained invaluable experience there. My goal was to become a vet, so I’ve already taken special care to understand the needs of the individual needs of each pet in my care. I’ve been the first choice when it comes to watching people’s pets for a long time now. I love them like my own :) As a part time student, Rover is a great way to schedule during the time I’m not in school so I can give your pet the undivided attention they deserve. I have a fenced in yard, and a sweet pup of my own that would absolutely adore the company of another dog! They’d have a blast.

About: If you give me the opportunity to care for your pet, you'll feel at ease knowing I'll take care of it as if it were my own. I'll give it all the love and attention it needs to make you feel happy. Right now I'd like to dedicate myself solely to animals and their care. I have every day of the week free to dedicate myself to them. For me, all animals deserve the same treatment and care. I always give them my best, no matter the occasion. I will always give you all my love, attention and you will never lack my care.
