Dog Walking in Sheridan Hollow, Albany, NY

“Emily was great! She fit Smokey into her regular walk schedule on a few days notice, and made sure Smokey got a good walk in despite the heat. We will definitely use Emily again in the future!”

About: I have been in constant contact with animals as I’ve had a roommate with a dog who I have taken on walks and spent time with. I’m working part time and I am available on weekends as well as Fridays. If you need a walk early in the morning, I will be there or in the evening. Well my roommate mostly took care of their dog such as cleaning. I mostly just did walks and feeding for them when she wasn’t available too.

“Lots of pictures and messages from Eleanor set my mind at ease that all was well with my dog on their first walk. I'll definitely be booking 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!”

“Mackenzie clearly loves dogs! She was attentive and affectionate with mine and took her for a long walk - both returned looking happy!”

About: I and and my partner Olesia are huge dogs lovers. Olesia taking care for 7 years of Bullmastiff. We want to give the dog best time full of joy, and playfullness. Both of us are very responsible. Serhii currently works part-time as a lecturer, so he is looking forward to spending time with your pups. Olesia is doing her MFA study, and adore long walks in parks. Serhii is free most of the week, and his schedule is flexible. We live in the one bedroom appartment with a lot of space, and our pan backyard. The pet will have their own dog bed and be safe in our house.

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.

About: I grew up around and taking care of all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, fish, and various reptiles and farm animals! I currently have one dog that I dote on full-time. I work from home and am centrally located, which makes it easy for me to do midday drop-ins on my lunch break and right after my workday ends. I am the go-to pet sitter for many of my friends and family members and am patient and understanding with animals who are shy or have anxiety.

“Miranda has walked my dog three days a week for one year and has had overnight stays. There aren’t enough amazing things I can say about her. She is extremely caring and goes the extra mile to work around my schedule and be flexible. There is no one I trust more to help take care of my dog. Even from my dog’s perspective, I can see through the report card photos that he enjoys being with her. I highly recommend contacting Miranda if you are in need of a dog walker or sitter!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether it’s for a quick walk, overnight stay, or just some extra playtime. With a calm, caring approach and a love for all animals, I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can count on reliable updates, attention to detail, and plenty of tail wags! I currently work full time as an emergency room technician at a local hospital. I would love to spend my days off with your animals! When caring for pets at their home, I follow your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given lots of affection—just like you would. I also keep their environment clean and safe, whether that means refreshing water bowls, scooping litter, or tidying up after playtime. I provide updates with photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.

“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!”

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 actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

About: Hi, I’m Destiny, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats! I’ve had cats in my family since I was 8 and have had my own cat for almost 4 years. I’ve also cared for and walked all size dogs from a chihuahua to a great dane, including my own family dogs back in high school. I know how important it is to provide pets with personalized attention, exercise, and enrichment. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a relaxing stroll, or playtime with your furry friend, I make sure every pet gets the care they deserve. I’m also experienced with leash training, enrichment activities, and handling larger dogs. I'm happy to go over any specific instructions or needs for your pet to make sure they get care you want and the love they deserve! I'm currently working a full time job and looking for some extra work to make ends meet. I'm available all weekends and early mornings or evenings until sunset through the week. I'm also in the Albany area and can absolutely make a mid-day walk work if that's what you or your pet needs! With one cat at home, I can absolutely accommodate other kitties overnight. Unfortunately, dog sitting is not an option for me at the moment but I'm willing to go the extra mile to drop in for visits, walks, and can crate or settle them down when leaving them. I know you love your furry friend and want to give them the best care, I’m here to help in whatever way I can!

“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”

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and I doubt that will ever change! I’m very gentle and like to take a soft approach when meeting with new furry friends in order to establish a basis of trust that is important for their best comfort and care. I am also quite flexible handling pets’ individual needs and go out of my way to ensure they are met. I’m currently on break from grad school, so my schedule leaves much open time for daily walks and quality companionship, as well as boarding on the weekends! I also live very close to a beautiful park with many walking paths and open greenery that I would of course be happy to show your pup :) I like to keep a clean home environment that would be comfortable for any furry friend, and I strive to respect the homes of any pet that I care for in the same way.
