Dog Walking Riverside

About: Hi there, I am a lifelong dog owner; I am experienced and caring. I love dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I've never met a dog who didn't like me! I'm never bored as long as there's a dog nearby :) I'm also a Stony Brook University student with a flexible schedule and my own reliable transportation. I'll take great care of your dog(s) and your home. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet... My other job is seasonal landscaping, however my boss is very flexible and lenient when it comes to my Rover job. My landscaping will never interfere with my care for your pet. At my client's home your pet's safety and wellbeing is always my priority. If I have any questions I will always ask the pet owner and follow whatever schedule and instructions they have laid out.

“Julie was quick to respond, came when she said she would, showed enthusiasm, and all in all it was a great experience. I certainly will use Julie again.”

“Absolutely awesome! It’s nice to know that if you are someone who worries, Sophia makes it so you don’t have to. I am 1000% using her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone else.”

About: Dogs have been my greatest love my entire life. I currently have two husky mixes of my own and know firsthand what it takes to care for high energy, strong breeds. I’ve raised puppies and work regularly with a professional trainer to continue their growth and development. I founded a premium dog lifestyle brand because I believe dogs deserve the best — and that’s exactly the standard I bring to every walk and visit. Your dog gets my full attention, consistent care, and photo updates throughout. I keep my client list small on purpose so every dog in my care gets exactly what they deserve. I only accept friendly dogs — this ensures a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays starting at 3:30 PM, with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I’m happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and extended visits on weekends to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. While I don’t offer overnight stays, I’m happy to arrange extended daytime and evening care, including staying late and returning early the next morning when needed. My goal is to help your dog feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. As the owner of two husky mixes, I have firsthand experience caring for strong, energetic dogs and understand how important patience, consistency, and safety are. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk or spending time together at home, your dog’s well-being is always my priority. I intentionally keep my client list small so I can provide personalized, attentive care without rushing from one appointment to the next. I also provide photos and updates throughout visits, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. For everyone’s safety, I welcome friendly, well-socialized dogs and always prioritize a calm, positive experience. When I’m in your home or with your dog on a walk, your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I have two husky mixes of my own so I’m experienced handling strong, high energy dogs on leash. I’m attentive, calm, and always aware of my surroundings. I provide photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your dog is safe and happy. I only accept friendly dogs to ensure a safe experience for everyone.

About: Hi! I’m Jules, and I’ve had pets my whole life and would love to help out fellow pet lovers. I’m currently located in Laurel, NY. Will be available weekdays and as needed. On the days I sit, your pets will be my number one priority. I look forward to meeting everyone and their sweet pets. I have an indoor cat who never goes outside, we make sure he stays far away from any open doors. Also have an indoor rabbit.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have a wide range of experience ranging from training young puppies to taking care of elderly and sick dogs. I love all animals and would love to hang out with your pup! I am available most weeks for the whole day if needed. I can stay with or occasionally drop by to feed, walk, and hang out with your pet! I ensure that both the pets and the homes are left better than they were when I came. My pets have always been treated with love and kindness, as all pets should be.

“We’ve had a great experience with Rachel. Communication is easy and clear, our dog absolutely adores her, and she gives us real peace of mind. Highly recommend.”

About: Throughout my life, we've always had dogs in the house and, as I’ve gotten older, there was definitely a period where it seemed more like a zoo than a human household with all of our rescues. When I was in high school, I fell in love with training dogs and really never wanted to do anything else. Over the years, I’ve made every effort to immerse myself in the field through work at Petco and multiple daycares, as a volunteer at Kent Animal Shelter, as a student with the Animal Behavior College, becoming a CPDT, opening my own business, and tentatively dipping my toes into the grooming aspect of it all as well. Hopefully, as time goes on, I can continue to pursue my dog training career as a multifaceted professional and expand more fully into my own business. I run my own multifaceted pet services business offering a variety of options from training and boarding to walking and photography, so my whole day circulates around pet-related bookings and activities. I live on half an acre of land with a fully fenced in yard, separate attached dog run, and plenty of space to run! We do a perimeter check twice daily to make sure the fencing is secure and the grounds are meeting our standards of cleanliness. I can easily crate dogs if that’s what their paw-rents request, but also have no problem allowing them to roam through the house if that’s what they’re accustomed to. I do have a few pups of my own, but they’re the friendliest guys you’ll ever meet — one is actually a quadriplegic! Everyone is in their own space while eating and stay separated for about an hour following meals to allow food to digest. Let me know if there are any other accommodations your pet needs!

“I am super grateful for Olivia! She is always on time and really works around my crazy schedule. I can always count on her last minute and my little guy loves her. She follows all instructions that’s given. Thanks so much Olivia! 🤗”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I love walking, playing, taking care of and cuddling with all dogs! I also have experience babysitting my sister's puppy. I understand the importance of timely feedings, daily walks, and playtime for the puppies. I am currently working per diem at one of the local hospitals. I am available any weekends with timely notice in advance. Days I do have work, I have no problem taking time to visit and entertain puppies no matter time of day. I enjoy going on long walks no matter the weather. I can help clean up after the dog and help keep them active . I'll be sure to follow diet plans accordingly including giving medications if needed.

About: From a young age, one of my greatest aspirations was to learn how to properly train and care for dogs. At just nine years old, I saved my birthday money and—with the help of my parents—welcomed my very first puppy into my life. From that moment forward, dogs have remained a central part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of raising and caring for five dogs, including one beloved companion who is no longer with us. Today, my fur family includes two Shih Tzus, an Australian Cattle Dog, and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. After relocating to Kansas City, I brought my Australian Cattle Dog and Mini Aussie with me. My two Shih Tzus were raised in New York and remain there with family, where they are comfortable in the environment they’ve always known. Needless to say, these animals mean the world to me. They bring immeasurable joy, companionship, and energy into everyday life, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with the care of your pet. I would be honored to care for your dog with the same attentiveness, patience, and integrity that I give my own. In addition to general care, I am well-versed in puppy development, foundational training techniques, and behavioral correction strategies. If your dog would benefit from structured guidance during our time together, I’m happy to incorporate that as part of the experience. My personal dogs do not need to be present during any service. However, if your dog forms a positive connection with one of mine and you specifically request that they join us for companionship during walks or activities, I’m happy to accommodate when appropriate. In those cases, it can create a fun and enriching experience for everyone involved. My goal is simple: to ensure your dog feels safe, engaged, and well cared for—while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care is already part of my daily routine so, adding another to the pack isn’t a hassle! My two pups keep me busy and on schedule, they’re fed around 8am, and again at 5pm. Aside from routine morning walks, they exercise for roughly 1.5hrs daily (depending on weather conditions). My home is smoke free, and pet welcoming. I have 4 amazing dogs (Mini Aussie, Australian Cattle Dog, and 2 Shitzus) that will happily keep your pup entertained! They are thoroughly trained and well mannered. If you have a pet that you don’t think will do well with this interaction, I will gladly chat with you to see if we can find a way to accommodate! I have a spacious, fenced-in, backyard area for you dogs to enjoy themselves!

About: Hi! I’m Cara, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet like they’re one of my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently provide care for small to medium-sized dogs over one year old, as well as cats. I’m not accepting puppies under one year or large-breed dogs at this time. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby! 🐾 I’m currently available all day Monday through Wednesday and Friday for dog walks and drop-in visits. My schedule is flexible on those days, so I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I’m currently focusing exclusively on walks and drop-ins so I can give each pet plenty of time and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your fur baby is in good hands.

About: Animal lover since the day I was born! I have a 5 year old cat named Lilly who is extremely friendly with other pets so I can bring pets to my house. I worked at New York’s Best Pets on Dyckman 200 Street before it burned down unfortunately and there I took care of feeding, grooming and playing with the pets as well as customer service. I’ve taken care of many dogs in the past, from walking to dog sitting. I have given prescribed medicine to dogs when they needed it and have trimmed their hair when asked to, as well as given them a full shower and a good groom. I live next to Raynor Beach Country Park and I love going out for walks and runs so you know your dogs will always have a good time and stay fit! I’ve been taking care of pets most of my life and I want to give pets the best experience they’ve ever had. I’m athletic so I have plenty of energy to burn. With me, I can guarantee your pets will have a great time and you’ll be satisfied with how they’ve been taken care of!

About: I have taken care of my dogs and my friends and families pets for over 10 years! I love our furry friends and am great at walking and feeding them however much they may need! I am currently working but I have a pretty open schedule for this summer. Please let me know which days you would like to work together and I will be sure to accommodate as best I can. Since my service will be at your home, I intend to take the pets out as needed and making sure that I stay with them whenever they go out. When on walks I make sure to be aware of my surroundings so that both your pets and I stay safe.

About: What sets me apart is my professional experience as a dog trainer specializing in behavior modification and working with challenging dogs, including reactive, fearful, and aggressive cases. I understand canine body language, behavior, and communication, allowing me to safely manage situations that many sitters may not be comfortable handling. I provide a structured, calm environment with clear boundaries, enrichment, and individualized care tailored to each dog’s needs. Whether caring for puppies, adult dogs, or seniors, my focus is on building confidence, reinforcing good behavior, and ensuring every dog feels safe, secure, and understood while in my care. Pet care is my full-time career. As a professional dog trainer and pet sitter, caring for dogs is a daily part of my routine. I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship. My goal is to help create happier, well-balanced dogs while making life easier and more enjoyable for their families. I prioritize safety, structure, and trust in every interaction. I follow each pet’s routine, provide appropriate exercise and enrichment, maintain a secure environment, and communicate regularly with owners. As a professional dog trainer and sitter, I focus on creating a positive experience that keeps pets happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 15, from energetic kittens who need constant play to dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with feeding routines, walks, litter care, playtime, and giving young or nervous animals the patience they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first, and I’ll treat them like my own. I go into work three days a week, so I keep pet care to my off days when I’m fully available and can give your pet my complete attention. On those days I’m home and flexible, so your pet gets consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day rather than being rushed or left alone. I build the day around your pet’s existing routine so the transition feels seamless and comfortable for them. Safety is my top priority in both my home and yours. I never leave pets unsupervised outdoors. Inside, I keep hazards out of reach, maintain a clean and calm space. I respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and lock up carefully every time. I stay alert to each pet’s behavior and comfort, and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind.

About: I have cared for my own dog and have dog sat for many friends and family over the years. I have personally owned an Australian Shepard and Boston Terriers from puppy age to senior. I have dog sat and walked dogs of all different breeds, ages and sizes. I have experience with caring for dogs with disabilities (blind, deaf, distended back legs) and diabetes. I have been a professional dog sitter for over 3 years, but have been personally caring for and loving them my whole life! I currently work from home M-F 8-4 as a care manager for people with developmental disabilities. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to watch your fur babies throughout the week and on weekends and they will never be left home alone for too long! I make sure to treat my clients fur babies and homes with the same love and respect I give to mine. I always make sure to leave the home just as clean as it was when I arrived.

“Mia did a great job caring for our pup Oliver. She was prompt, responsible, interactive….sent photos and text messages to assure us Oliver was in good hands while we were away. Thank you Mia, we highly recommend your services.”
