Dog Walkers in Skaneateles, NY

About: I’ve had all kinds of pets, from dogs and a cat to ducks and even a goose! I’m a HUGE animal lover. I dog sit every summer for the same family, and genuinely just enjoy spending time with pets! My family relies on me to walk the dogs as well as feed the cat. I’m very passionate about properly caring for animals. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a lot of down time to take up with caring for pets on Rover! Respect is huge, and it takes a lot of trust to let a stranger into your home. This said, I respect the houses of each client I visit to care for their adorable pooch! I’ll properly care for the pets in your home and give them all the attention they need!

“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.

About: I have had 3 dogs and 8 cats throughout my life. As well as rescuing 6 cats and 1 dog from around my county. I love impacting a pets life and giving them the love and care they deserve. I love taking care of all breeds and sizes of animals! I am currently a student and have a few side jobs which makes it easy for me to schedule. I am very flexible with times and dates. I like to get as much information about the pets as I can, including any illnesses/ health issues, favorite toys, favorite food, and any other activities they enjoy. Each animal is different and has their own personality and I think it’s important to take that in account while taking care of them. I have no issues taking care of pets with health or emotional issues, whether this means giving them medication or being aware of activities that can upset or help them.

“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”

About: Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I have over 10+ years of experience in working with both cats and dogs. I had my golden retriever Jake, for 15 years, and I currently have a cat named Lulu who is 9 years old. I have previous experience in working with both cats and dogs who have required care. This included checking in on them as well as feeding, walking and playing with them. I really love animals and love that every pet has their own unique personality. I know that animals always bring a smile to my face, and it is my goal that I can return the favor and make them happy as well. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your fur baby!

“Victoria was excellent with our dog, Holly! She was incredibly responsive and helped us out on short notice. We would highly recommend her and would book again!”

“We have used Cassandra for both boarding in her home and for dog walking over the past few months and we couldn't recommend her enough! She is timely, provides great updates, responds quickly to requests and is so kind!”

About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.

About: We love dogs! I have had dogs my whole life. We currently have a ten-year-old black mouth cur. We adopted him through a local shelter. We also recently applied to foster dogs and care for them to provide them with a loving home until they are adopted. We live in a large house that can accommodate 3 or 4 dogs. I can provide plenty of exercise for high energy dogs. I am available anytime during the day or evening during July and August. After August, I will be available in the evening as well as Saturdays and Sundays. I have a fenced in yard. Your dogs can enjoy the deck in the yard to soak up the sun or roam in a secure area. I can crate your dog if needed.

“Debbie was a kind and considerate companion to our fearful little dog. Our dog is scared of new people and over the course of just few visits, our dog warmed up to Debbie. Debbie respected Bear’s boundaries and earn her trust in no time. We can’t thank you enough, Debbie!!!”

About: I absolutely love animals. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and many other animals. I am very responsible and trustworthy and will care for your pet like it’s my own. If necessary, I can administer medication. I have previous experience needing to administer medication to my dogs in the past based off veterinarian instruction. I am currently in school for my prerequisites for Medical Imaging. I take several classes during the week. Please reach out and then we can make an appropriate adjustments that suit both our schedules. I live in a house with a decent size fenced in area. I go on several walks per day and have many dog parks near by. My dogs are very well behaved but will still not be left alone unsupervised for your peace of mind. I can also do solo walks if that is better suited. I have a crate available if you require. Always have water available.

“Our dog Henry enjoyed his first walk with Morgan!”

About: I’ve learned so much raising my dog from puppyhood to almost 3 years old. I came to dog ownership in my 30s, after dreaming of a dog for several years. My grandma had dogs (appenzell mountain dog, beagle, and schnauzer) and I grew up visiting with them. With my own dog, over the last few years, I have taken courses in basic obedience, reactive dog management strategies, reactivity counter conditioning/desensitization, multiple Control Unleashed (Leslie McDevitt) courses, impulse control, cooperative care, basic scent work, and more. I have also taken several webinars on various canine topics. I taught myself to groom my dog (poodle mix) and learned all husbandry tasks in a fear free cooperative manner. I am a member of several online communities of dog trainers and owners - such as Fenzi Dog Sports Academy. I am positive reinforcement (R+) and fear free. I am familiar with many forms of enrichment - including sniff/decompression walks, frozen kong/toppl/lick mat, shredding paper, toy play, snuffle mats and more. I am familiar with and use a variety of long line lengths. I am familiar with sensitive dogs and their unique needs. I’m currently working part time, remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I have ample time for drop in visits. I am happy to come to you. I am only offering services at your house at this time. I am one of the most honest people you will meet, caring for your dog and your property as I care for my own. I am tidy and clean.

About: I’ve grown up with 2+ dogs in my house and have cared for dozens of other dogs. I’m certified as a Veterinary Assistant and work in a veterinary hospital! I chose this because I love to care for and help dogs to the best of my ability. I love taking my dogs for walks on nature trails or down my street almost everyday. I have a working breed dog and we have done extensive training! We also compete in dog sports. He is a GSP. I love doing meet-and-greets ahead of time to make sure I am a good fit for your pup. i have many repeat customers through Rover and also a handful of repeat customers that are family and friends. Message me with any questions/concerns! I am excited to take care of your dogs and give them the love and fun that they deserve!! ***if you need someone to stay overnight with your pets my dog may have to come along since I live alone. He is crate trained and can go to work with me most days… we can discuss this when booking. Thanks!*** I’m off of work weekends and would love to help out people if they have to work or take a day trip away from home! I work weekdays, but get a lunch break mid day I will always make sure all of their needs are met and like to thoroughly go through everything with the pet parent ahead of time.

About: What distinguishes me from other dog sitters is my lifelong companionship with dogs, instilling in me an innate understanding of their needs and behaviors. Beyond my extensive experience as a dog owner, I possess specialized skills that cater to a wide range of canine requirements. Whether it's training energetic puppies, ensuring the comfort and well-being of senior dogs, or simply providing a safe and loving environment, I am well-equipped to handle diverse situations. Your furry companions will not only receive responsible care but also benefit from my adeptness at creating tailored routines that accommodate their unique personalities and preferences. With me, you can rest assured that your beloved dogs will be treated with the utmost respect, attention, and devotion. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, even with a full-time job. Despite my professional commitments, I am devoted to providing exceptional care to dogs. During weekdays, I prioritize early morning walks and playtime before work, ensuring they start the day with positive energy. I've strategically structured my evenings around quality time with the dogs, focusing on exercise and interaction. On weekends, I offer extended care and undivided attention, making it the perfect opportunity for boarding and a truly immersive experience. My commitment to their well-being and my ability to provide attentive care during the weekends guarantees that your dogs will receive the utmost attention. When caring for pets, whether in my home or at the client's residence, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. If providing care in my own home, I ensure a cozy and pet-friendly environment. I'm fortunate to have access to a nearby dog park within my apartment complex, where dogs can socialize, play fetch, and enjoy outdoor activities. Additionally, I'm conveniently located near various walking and hiking trails, which offer stimulating adventures for energetic dogs to explore nature. For those preferring a more relaxed setting, there's a spacious greenspace near my apartment, ideal for leisurely strolls and lounging in the sun. Regardless of the service, whether it's boarding, walking, or drop-in visits, my goal is to create a tailored experience that aligns with each pet's individual needs and preferences, making their time with me both enjoyable and fulfilling.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, play, clean, and take care of their pets while away from home. With my experience and passion for animals, I would take care of your animals as I would my own. I currently work full-time, but have plenty of available time in the mornings and after work. My weekdays have plenty of time available for check-ins and walks. The safety of your pet is my number one priority. For dogs, I tend to avoid other dogs on walks unless you point out to me any dogs you know that it's ok for your dog to greet and interact with. I would rather your dog be safe than hurt. For cats, I make sure they are always kept inside (unless instructed otherwise with a catio or other) and are away from harms way.

About: I trained my dog when we got him 6 years ago. I also watch my family members animals when they’re out of town. Finally I frequently housesit for people. During my breaks throughout the day I come home to check on my dog and any other animals I am watching. I am used to working my schedule around the dogs schedule that I am caring for. I prioritize letting them out and making sure they have food and company. I am used to be around and responsible for animals 7 days a week. I make sure to spend time with my pets and the pets I am watching. I will sit with them, play with them, and make sure they aren’t alone for more than 8 hours at a time. I will also put on music or the TV for them while I am gone so they don’t get lonely.
