Dog Walking in North Albany-Shaker Park, Albany, NY

“Linda is great at rolling with whatever Nikko’s mood is for the day. Sometimes he wants to walk—even run a bit—and sometimes he just wants to go out for a quick pee and get some love. She’s the best!”

“Jose was amazing! He accepted the walk on somewhat short notice and was very helpful. He was very communicative. We will definitely use him again!”

“Elena is wonderful and I’ve already rebooked with her! She came over to let my rambunctious pup out daily while I was out of town, even bringing along her own dog to get some extra energy out, and made sure to send updates and photos. Ahead of time, she asked really great questions about our dog care preferences, which highlighted her experience and made me feel very comfortable with our first time Rover experience. Highly recommend!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“They where absolutely amazing took her out right on time and where super mindful of our indoor only cats not getting out would recommend again and again”

“My family and I would definitely recommend Annabelle's dog walking services. From the start, she was very clear in her communication, asked great questions and was flexible and receptive to side notes I needed to add day of. I couldn't ask for a more professional, kind, and approachable sitter for my babydog. Thank you Annabelle, we'll be booking you again! :)”

“I highly recommend Miranda. I have a slow to warm up quirky dog. She took the time for him to feel comfortable with her before taking him out. She has been a reliable & excellent dog walker.”

About: I am a huge animal lover ever since I was a child I've cared for pets from guinea pigs to horses however dogs, cats and fishes I had the most experience and absolute companionship. Throughout my life I've had over 5 dogs, 13 cats, 3 turtles and multiple fishes as well as cared for neighbor pets and children while their guardians were in need. I know how to provide pets with their medications, brush their teeth and when to give their needed walks and attention. I keep up with my health and cardio resistance to keep up the fun of helping others and doggy activities. I love to stay active. Most importantly I am happy to be reliable, careful, loving and playful with all animals. I am Full-time and try to provide flexibility as much as possible. In conjunction with moving, hospital visits, flight delays, traffic and unexpected weather conditions I completely understand and choose to prioritize your general safety. I'm currently in a 2 story apartment on the 2nd floor. With 4 bedrooms and a doggie pull out couch. I keep the spacious place very clean and safe. There are no kennels, crates or gates you would have to provide one if necessary. All animals would enjoy the homey atmosphere.

“Willow is very helpful and knowledgeable. She is also helping me in getting a vet for my dog. She is going above and beyond for my dog Blaze.”

About: I have taken car of animals and kids my whole life. As the eldest daughter of a disabled retired EMS dad, I was needed around the house to help take car of my younger siblings, our cats and dogs. Juggling my own life and taking care of theirs I've developed crucial skills in order to be able to care for everyone properly. I've got a lot of love to give! I am a quality assurance and Human Resources manager for a local business. my schedule is incredibly flexible and managed by myself. I am free early mornings and late afternoons into evenings pretty much daily unless I have a doctor's appointment. Taking care of pets is very similar to taking care of humans. You need to learn how to communicate with your pet, each animal has their own language, signs they give to let you know when they need to use the bathroom, when they want more space from you or some playtime. Understanding these little signals can allow you to take care of them better. As a temporary care giver you also need to respect the space you are in and the routines that these animals already have in place. Their owners know their animals best and it is always best to follow the instructions you were given.

About: I have taken care of all animals from hamsters to cows! I also have administered basic veterinary care including medicine, shots and IVs. I am in my junior year of college doing Animal Science BS and Biotechnology AAS. I am good with any and all animals and can provide lots of play or chill pets! I am a really flexible person. I am good to work mornings and nights and can devote as much time as you need for your pet! I am very respectful of your space. I am there for your pet. I intend to clean up any mess your pets make so you can come back to a tidy home. Your pets will be fed and walked on the schedule you give me. Anything that needs to be done will be done.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and wouldn't want it any other way! Family and friends have relied on me to care for their pets for years, and they have been confident in my abilities as a former employee at a 24-hour emergency animal hospital. I'm experienced working with a variety of breeds and temperaments, including reactive dogs with behavioral challenges. I am well versed in force-free positive reinforcement methods. Professionally I work as an epidemiologist, so you can also be sure I am taking all health and safety precautions! I am also available most afternoons/evenings and on weekends. I can drop in for walks and to spend time with pups in your home during these times too! I do everything I can to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free! Being the owner of a reactive dog I understand how important it is to mantain a schedule, enforce training, and take safety precautions. I have a firm understanding of animal body language and knowledge of how to behave around dogs of all temperaments!

About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but my household always had a dog with us. At a young age I learned how to walk and care for dogs so I could pull my own weight in the household. My family’s adopted puppies before (and they’re so much fun!) but also used to take in older dogs when people we knew could no longer care for them. I work full time after 3pm every day except for Wednesday and Thursday, so morning visits are extremely doable. If you need me to stop by at night, it will have to be after 11pm. Because I live in a shared apartment, I won’t be boarding any dogs. However, there are several parks near me, one of which is an actual dog park!
