Dog Walkers in Saugerties, NY

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and proud fur mama of three. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I’m here to provide loving, reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. You can trust and rely on me to care for your pets and treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I also have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to plan my day around pet visits to make sure they get the attention, feeding, playtime, and care they need. When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I will follow your instructions closely for feeding, playtime, and any special care your pet needs. I also make sure to spend quality time with them so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would give my own.

“Joe was the BEST! He accommodated a last minute walk (booked the night before) and saved the day. Not only die he arrive early & extend the walk a little, but he also brought an assortment of healthy treats. How did you know fish was my boy's favorite? We highly recommend Joe!”

“Krista is amazing! Not only is she a sweet, kind and trustworthy person, but she is also very patient as well as skilled with taking care of my pups needs. We are very lucky to have found her!”

“Robin was exactly on time for her first walk with our 6-month old Izzy. Izzy loves every dog or person she meets. so I wasn't surprised when she greeted Robin affectionately. After a few minutes of instruction, they were off for their first walk together. When they returned, Robin described their adventure in detail. She was articulate and accurate, given Izzy's typical behavior (for example: she doesn't "get" that a dog growling at her means "keep away." }. Big news: Izzy must have felt very comfortable with Robin, since this was the very first time that she peed on-leash during a dog walk away from our yard. I felt extremely comfortable with Robin also and would recommend her highly. I will use her again, for sure!”

About: I started pet sitting three years ago when I began studying at Bard College and was looking for ways to support myself as a student. If I describe myself, I would say I’m very empathetic. It helps me connect with animals, understand their behavior, and notice when something feels different. I try to be calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s personality. I understand that pets are family members, and it can be stressful to leave them with someone new. That’s why I carefully follow parents’ rules, routines, and feeding schedules. I always stay in touch and send updates, so owners feel comfortable and reassured. In my recent experience, I cared for two cats for two weeks, for a dog and two cats together for about a week and a half, and I also hosted a large dog in my home for a full month.

“Tina has been a reliable and highly valued walker for my mother’s dog Max in Woodstock. She comes every afternoon and walks him for an hour, and even picks up the mail on her way back. Max is always happy to see her!”

“Elishamaria was wonderful. She was very friendly, communicative and professional. She made our dog Butters feel very comfortable and happy. We were able to enjoy a little time to ourselves in Hudson. We would definitely book her again the next time we’re in town!”

About: I have worked a lot with both ends of the spectrum in terms of activity: I enjoy sleepy dogs as well as hounds. I have a Hungarian Vizsla back home, who is essentially a hunting dog—and I enjoy seeing her tired at the end of the day. Currently, my main occupation is writing a senior thesis. I do that successfully in between and around pet-sitting gigs. I only have three classes a week, so taking care of dogs and cats is a perfect commitment that I love to pursue At my client's houses, I make sure to maintain a safe environment in which pets do not come into contact with anything or anyone that poses even the slightest risk to their health and well-being.

“Victoria did a great job with my little puppy. She followed all my instructions and Communicated well.”

About: I grew up in a cat household and became a dog mom as soon as I left home. I absolutely love all of the cats and dogs I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this life. I raised my pup, Grumble, from 3 weeks old until she left this world at 11 years old. I am very familiar with the range of needs a dog will have throughout life, from teething to play to mobility assistance. I'm fully available in the winter as my regular job (gardening) is seasonal and won't be picking up again until later in the spring time. I can be flexible to your pets needs and more than happy to follow any directions you provide me with for their optimal care and contentment.

About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.

About: I have taken care of all breeds of dogs for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me and hired me to care for their pets for extended periods of time. I have done as little as walking their dog to hosting them for weeks at a time. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, and administering medicine. I work part-time so i am usually available to care for your little ones in the afternoon. I would love a long term, set schedule but I am flexible and welcome anyone who needs pupcare!! I have 2 beautiful pitbull/boxer mix who love to play with others. They love to run for long periods of time and share toys and treats with others. My husband and I own a home with a very large fenced in yard where we can constantly watch them play. When I am in a client’s home I adhere to the dogs needs. I take them for long walks or exercise and play games to stimulate the mind.

“Simon helped my husband with our dog's walks after I hurt my knee. He was very responsive, always on time, and flexible. He has a very calming manner and Jack readily went to him and followed him out the door with no hesitation! I highly recommend Simon to care for your dog, and he will remain part of our pack! - Zelda”

About: I've cared for many cats and dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and oral medication administration. I'm a patient and compassionate pet owner, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love and care I would my own. I'm also a graduate music student in case your pet might want to be serenaded by a french horn :) I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look well in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, bathing, and medication. I love to play fetch with dogs, go on walks or hikes, visit dog parks, cuddle, practice tricks, or any other enriching activity. With cats, I love to cuddle, play, and practice or try new tricks with treats.

“Monica was great to work with - easy to communicate with. Tiny was a happy pup after her walks. Would 100% work with her again. (Thanks, Monica!)”

About: I Work nights! I am off Thursday and Friday nights. I've rasied my 80lb. Female dog from when she was 4 weeks old to about 6 years. I'm very active and love to take my dog out for runs. Very disciplined and have taught my big girl to behave politely in NYC. I've taken care of huskies and smaller dogs like chihuahuas and poodles for neighbors as well! I work overnights and just moved to an Tamnersville. I would love to walk or just spend time with a dog. My dog is home on staten island with family and I miss spending time with dogs so much! Hygiene and cleanliness at home are priority. A lot of canine care is knowing what each dogs' wants and needs are. Each dog will communicate to you what they want and need. Communication with the owner is key along with ensuring the dog is well fed and stimulated!

About: Hi! I'm Liz, a dedicated animal caretaker with over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and pocket pets. I'm passionate about keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe, whether it's through daily walks, playtime, or administering medications. I treat every animal like a member of my own family and take pride in providing consistent, loving, care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine in a way that is structured but flexible, depending on the pets' needs, and the type of care I am providing. I have over an acre in my back yard that can be enjoyed for playtime with pets. I have secure doors in my house, and I keep my home secure and pet-proof. No small objects or breakable items in areas where we play and spend time. I have a pet first-aid kit on hand in my home. I have contact information for local veterinarians and emergency clinics readily available. I have some basic knowledge in first-aid and CPR for dogs and cats.
