Dog Walking Slingerlands

“Jenny is a fabulous, conscientious person and dog walker and we are so glad to have found her through Rover. We look forward to having her walk Frodo when she is available in the future!”

“Katharine was extremely easy to work with! She assisted in fulfilling a last minute request, and got along great with my dog! She was able to get my pup to take a walk and eat her food, which are often difficult tasks due to my dogs anxiety. Would 100% recommend Katharine to others!!”

About: Need extra attention for your fur babies? I not only feed/walk your pets, I read or sing to them after meals/exercise. I spend the time needed to ensure their comfort while you are away. I love both dogs and cats. I grew up with Dachshunds, St.Bernards, Beagles and an Airdale Terrors (not all at one time!). I've also had cats through the years. I have 2 now (lost one in June, 16 years old). All of my cats have been indoor and spoiled rotten! I have helped owners who have been hospitalized, vacationing and working to ensure their furry friends are safe and happy. Rest assured...your pet will be well taken care of. ❤. Why did I decide to do this? When I've traveled, it's been difficult finding reliable sitters or drop in visits. I can assure you, there will be no worrying about your furry family member(s). At your home, your furry family members will be well taken care of. They will receive lots of love and attention. Be sure to instruct me about any special needs. you will receive updates when taking care of your pets. I can do early drop-in visits (7-9 a.m.) and afternoon/ evening hours. I have no restrictions on weekends. I can be fairly flexible because I work out of my home. I can only offer services in your home. Your pooch or kitty will get lots of hugs and kisses. I will treat yours as I do mine.

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 4 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with walking dogs, and years of experience in feeding, training, playing, and caring for both dogs and cats. My entire life I have always been drawn to animals, and am a huge animal lover! In my early teen years, I worked at a dog daycare where I oversaw the care of up to 14 dogs at one time. It was a huge responsibility, but I looked forward to going to work each shift I had because to me it didn’t even feel like work, it felt like a reward getting to care and play with so many animals. Whenever I go anywhere whether it’s a walk around my college campus, a family or friends house, or the park, I am always immediately drawn to all the dogs I see and always ask if I can take a minute to pet each dog. A multitude of family and friends have consistently told me that it’s evident how much I love animals, and how well I get along with them. I am someone you can trust to make sure your pet gets the best possible care when you are gone. As a former cat owner and current dog owner myself, I know just how much love and care pets need on a day to day basis. Whenever I am away from my dog who is my bestfriend in the whole world, I definitely can feel anxious or stressed. I am dedicated to keeping pet parents up to date on the wellbeing of your pets with photos, videos, up to date messages and anything else you’d like as a pet parent (I am happy to do facetime calls too!!). I will always be available and reachable when I am with your pet to answer any questions, concerns, or even just send over some extra photos if you are really missing your furry companion! Additionally, your pets wellbeing and safety is my top priority. I have worked hard to familiarize myself with signs of distress and discomfort in animals, and if anything doesn’t look right I will not hesitate to jump into action to make sure your pet is safe. My dog has had a few scary incidents, and as difficult as it was, it helped to prepare me to know the signs when something is not right and know what to do in case of an emergency. I decided to join rover because I wanted the opportunity to help take care and hangout with animals on a regular basis because it is truly something I absolutely love. I am hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated, and I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I hope you will consider entrusting me to care for such a valuable member of your family! • * Please note I require meet and greets with all potential pet clients BEFORE bookings!* * I have now graduated from the University of Delaware and am in the Albany area full time :) I am currently a part time marketing intern, so I have lots of extra time to care for your furry companion. I am very flexible, and when I am not at work or other commitments I have a very open schedule to care for your pet! Currently, I offer services within the clients home for walks or check ins with your pet. I am very flexible, and will work with you to get to know what routine works best for your pet. At this time due to a family members allergy, I am not able to offer boarding services in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of a sick dog and a rabbit for 3 years now on separate occasions when the families go on trips. I always make sure to play with the animals. I’m available pretty much all the time. I have a class from 11:00-11:50 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that I have to attend and I babysit from 1:00-4:30 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but otherwise I am all yours (and your animals) I will make sure that everything is in place when I leave and I will keep the house clean!

About: Iv'e been around animals my whole life. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, turkeys, fish and reptiles. I am able to give administer meds for animals that need it. I work from home a majority of the time. Days I do go in office, it is very flexible and usually can return home after a few hours. Any place I do go is a 20 minute drive (or less) from my home. I can also easily move my work set up to work from anywhere. When going to your home, I make sure to keep your pets to there schedule for maximum comfort!

About: I have one senior pit mix who I currently take care of, and I have also pet sat for both dogs and cats for family/friends. I have lots of flexibility to take care of different animals. While I am at school and my schedule varies depending on the day, I am available most times of the day. Just communicate with me and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out! I will meet with your dog for one-on-one playtime with toys and lots of cuddles. At least one or more walks with plenty of potty breaks and feeding if needed. I try my best to cater to the individual needs of your animal.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable, caring, and detail-oriented pet sitter who understands that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, administering oral medications if needed, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I've looked after pets with different personalities and energy levels. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for animals, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure. Outside of pet sitting, I'm a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to follow instructions carefully. I know how important it is to be reliable, communicate clearly, and respond promptly. If your pet has specific routines or special care instructions, you can trust that I'll follow them closely. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. My availability includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays. I plan my commitments carefully so that every pet receives the attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship they need.

I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I care for every dog as if they were my own. In my home, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of playtime, walks, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of attention. I have an open yard for supervised outdoor time and a nearby park for fun walks and exercise.

I’ll follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. My first, a black Lab named Louie, was already in the house when I was born, so I really can’t imagine life without a dog. My family recently got two puppies, Simba and Xena, that I’ve helped take care of when the rest of the house is away. I’ve been around many different breeds, ages, and personalities, and understand that each one has their own needs and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, play, and keeping them company. I love being around all kinds of dogs and will treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets throughout the week and on weekends when needed. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal routine, whether that means stopping by for walks, spending time with them during the day, or caring for them while you’re away. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important it is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal schedules. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding times, walking routines, and any special needs your pet has. I understand that every dog is different, and I will take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I will also keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.

About: We have had dogs in the house since I was three years old and we were all responsible for caring for them. I’ve seen dogs through the puppy and training stage to the old age medication and care stage. My dogs were big Labradors, and I dog sat for many people with medium and small dogs at all stages of their lives. There’s not much your dog could throw at me that I wouldn’t handle with confidence and experience! I am currently attending an acting conservatory, the only days that that takes up my whole day are Thursdays and Friday's. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m free after 2, and Wednesdays I am free until 1! Weekends my schedule is wide open and I can work any time, and I am available every night of the week for overnights! With all the animals that have gone through my home growing up I know every pet is different. I follow the owners lead when it comes to how to care for them and never try to push my personal pet care habits on anyone. Everyone has a different relationship with their pet and I am here to respect and emulate that as best I can when you have to be away from your best friend! You and your pet are the boss!

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.

About: I feel very proud that whenever I meet an animal we’re almost Instantly best friends. They say that dogs can sniff out honest and kind people. I feel very skilled at building trusting connections with pets and making sure they are happy when you come home! I am able to keep them safe and entertained, handle medicine, food, etc. I have a long list of repeated clients and growing that list helps me support myself and my artistic career! I hope this bio stood out to you because I'd love to spend time with your pet so you can have a stress free day away from the house! I have a very flexible schedule. I work many different gigs that make my schedule super flexible! I am able to make trips during the day to care for your pet while you're at work and I am also able to hang with them in the evenings if you decide you want to have a night out! I like building trust between animals. Repeated visits with pets are very important to help reduce stress on them. I give them space upon first meeting to give them the opportunity to approach me when they are ready to do so. until in no time we are besties.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve owned multiple dogs & cats that are sadly no longer with me. I love the joy going for a run or walk can bring them. Bathing your furry friend is never an issue. I do have a cat named Zelda who loves animals but she’s the only one I have now. Offering boarding services for holiday times coming up! I work part time and go to school full time as well as being a mother to my daughter. We can always talk about what works best for us both & your furry friend(s). I do have an open backyard but I do have extra long tie outs so they will be able to run. I have no problem taking them to a local dog park or a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re going on vacation & your furry friend can’t come, we can easily discuss what works best for scheduling.

About: Originally went to school for veterinary medicine/technician. Been pet sitting since I was 14. Have experience with all ages or dogs. When I visit, I do stay for 30 minutes-if it's just a check in- to make sure they get attention or stretch their legs. I am available from 9am-3pm Monday through Friday. I can do overnights as well but I would need minimum 1 month notice. My spouse and I share a car- for now - so the weekly routine is from Monday- Friday 830 am - 3 pm that I am available unless already booked. I don't mind booking out if that's something desired. All pets require different care based on age, health, and personality. I do try to get as much energy out with dogs before leaving - I have been known to play fetch for hours- as well as attention. I require meeting both owners and pets before actually sitting, just to get an idea of how the owner is with their pets, as well as, their pets with their owners. I believe in positive reinforcement like rewards or positive affirmations (good boy, etc.). I also believe in routines for animals so if they take naps during certain times or medication, it'll need to be discussed in initial meeting.

About: I have experience dealing with a high-energy English Springer Spaniel since she was a puppy! I helped train her in basic commands using positive reinforcement and have walked her regularly for 7 years. As of right now I’m currently a junior at SUNY Geneseo and will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-3 and during the weekend 9-5. Your dogs safety is my top priority. I will make sure to learn the commands they respond to and their personality. Earning their trust is extremely important to me so they feel comfortable and safe in my care.

“Did a great job with Bella! And was an excellent communicator!”

About: Hello! My name is Catherine, and I’m passionate about caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up with Newfoundlands, I’ve developed a deep love for big dogs and have enjoyed training them in water activities. My experience extends beyond just my personal pets; I’ve worked in kennels and as a petsitter for family, friends and neighbors where I gained valuable skills in dog care and rehabilitation, particularly with dogs facing challenges like fear-based aggression. Currently, I share my home with three dogs: two energetic Boxers and a fun-loving Chihuahua/Pug mix. I appreciate the unique personalities and needs of both big and small dogs! One of my dogs is a certified therapy dog, which has brought as much joy to him as his new friends. In addition to dogs, I have a deep love for cats (although my partner is allergic, so I'd love to come over and play with yours!). I have cat-sat before and would love to take care of your kitty. I have experience caring for various animals as a farmhand, including ducks, chickens, and sheep. This diverse background has equipped me with the skills to manage different temperaments and needs in pets. I also have experience with dogs that have special needs, including my deaf dog, senior dogs, and others that have required extra patience and understanding. I believe every pet deserves the best care tailored to their individual needs. My philosophy is that whatever decision is right for your pet is also the right one for you as an owner. I regularly pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors, providing companionship, playtime, and cuddles. I’m great at managing mealtimes and administering medication, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I aim to create a nurturing environment that your pets will love. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to potentially welcoming them into my home! Let’s connect and discuss how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered, or scaled) family member! I currently work full-time from home but with a flexible schedule. I am completely free on weekends. Due to my flexible schedule, I can be available for pet care during the day with enough advance notice (generally one week). Otherwise I am available every day before 8pm, after 5pm, and available on weekends and ESPECIALLY holidays! I will care for your pets in the manner that is the most familiar and comfortable for both you and them - this will always be a discussion prior to our first appointment. I am comfortable with crates, harnesses of all sorts (including gentle leaders), prong collars (but NOT metal chain collars!), slip leads, treat dispensing (everyone's favorite, of course!), clicker training, muzzles, electronic collars (which I am trained on and have been using for 12+ years, especially with our deaf dog), I will respect room and house boundaries (for both myself and your pet), litterbox cleaning, I will wash their bowls daily and as needed, play-based training and rewards, brushing, grooming/bathing as needed, etc.

About: I not only love caring for animals, but learning all their quirks and personalities. I am very familiar with the patience and love it takes to care for seniors, and the space many animals want from humans (especially new ones). I am happy to meet them where they’re at and hopefully brighten up their day! I have lots of experience with giving pills, special diets, etc. as well. I learn fast and take animal care very seriously. I’m currently working part time and studying to apply for grad school, so I have plenty of time! I often am doing one of my many hobbies or spending time with loved ones, which can easily be shared with your little loves too. At home, I am vigilant about dangers for my cat when I am not around and triple check to make sure she is safe and she can’t get into anything. My main priorities are to make sure she is healthy, happy, and enriched!
