Dog Walking Skaneateles

About: *(as of 2025)currently not taking new clients as I work multiple jobs* 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 worked for a vet for 6+ years. I now work for a dog training and hiking company. 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 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: 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: I have extensive experience caring for dogs and have been around them my entire life. I currently care for two Labrador Retrievers of my own and regularly assist with caring for my uncle’s Great Dane. In addition, I have experience looking after a variety of dog breeds of all ages for friends and family. Due to this time spent surrounded by dogs I have developed a strong understanding of canine care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and am passionate about ensuring that they are healthy, happy, and well cared for. I'll have plenty of time this summer while off from school to care for your dog. I'm used to spending my days tending to my pups schedules so taking care of other dogs will come natural to me. I'm familiar with pet safety and will prioritize comfort and care while visiting with your dog. However that looks for you I will honor that.

“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

“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’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: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.

“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”

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 work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!

“Marissa did a great job walking our dog! She's very responsible and professional. She was able to handle our 75lb dog (who likes to pull sometimes) with no problems. She was very easy to get a hold of and gave us a lot of detail on his Rover card. I would highly recommend her!”
