Dog Walking Somers

About: I like to pay attention to your pet’s cues to determine their wants and needs. I’ve primarily helped friends and family with their pets and the more I spend time with animals, the more I fall in love. I currently work remotely from home. Mornings and evenings are easy! Afternoons will require some maneuvering but I can be transparent about my availability based on your needs and the dates of service. Depending on the distance I can stop by 2 or 3 times a day. I’m only offering drop-in services and walks at this time. I would be respectful of your space and focus on what I’ve been hired to do. If you need me to refresh your pets belongings, brush them, or wipe them down, etc, I’d be happy to. I have a daily routine with our family dog so I’m happy to continue any routines with your fur baby.

About: Hi there! My name is Kat, and I have a deep, well-rounded background in animal care. With 3+ years of hands-on experience in animal rescue and 10 years of personal pet sitting (and 22+ years of animal-loving!), I bring calm expertise, safety awareness, and specialized care that goes far beyond standard pet sitting. I'm also a certified Wilderness First Responder and American Red Cross CPR Certified. Rescue Training: My time in animal rescue taught me to read subtle animal body language, prevent stressful situations, and keep pets safe and relaxed in any environment, while also serving as a friend and comfort to animals in need! Medication Administration: I have experience giving oral, topical, and routine medications to a wide variety of animals, ranging from kittens to senior dogs. Experience in All Sizes & Energy Levels: From toy breeds to giant dogs, I understand how to handle different temperaments and physical needs. I love taking high-energy dogs on extensive, engaging walks (especially on our local hiking trails!) to keep them physically exercised and mentally happy. I am a full-time student supporting myself while working toward my paralegal certification. I take my courses online from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Monday-Thursday), so I am available for in-house sitting, drop-in visits, or whatever your pet may need! Since I offer only In-House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and walk services, your pets will receive 1-on-1 attention without leaving the comfort of their familiar surroundings. My priority is maintaining their daily routine while keeping your home secure and your pets safe. With every visit, I will provide consistent photo updates and detailed reports after each drop-in/day! Flexible, personalized pet care (drop-ins & sitting): Regardless of whether it's a quick 30-minute stop-in for food, meds, play, and potty breaks, or an overnight stay, I adapt entirely to your pet’s individual needs and routine. I strive to keep homes tidy, secure, and maintained, reducing travel stress for everyone and helping pets feel their best! Outdoor Safety: During walks and outdoor breaks, safety is paramount- I practice attentive situational awareness and strive to maintain large distances from any off-leash dogs, as well as ensuring your pet is safely and securely harnessed/leashed. Overall Safety Precautions: From my rescue experience, animals are curious!- In this, I ensure all doors, gates, and deadbolts are latched securely during every entry and exit, double-check that food and medications are sealed out of reach, as well as keeping a watchful eye out for subtle changes in pet health or behavior. Home Maintenance/Overall Peace of Mind: During house sits and drop-ins, I am happy to bring in mail, water plants, keep your living spaces spotless, or help with any other tasks.

About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong animal lover with nearly 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, much more and I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m skilled in feeding, exercise, medications, and daily care, always making sure pets get the attention and love they deserve. As a daycare teacher, patience, safety, and reliability come naturally to me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, creating a calm, happy, and stress-free experience. Whether you need walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, you can trust that your furry friends will be well cared for, loved, and spoiled while you’re away. I work 6:30 AM–3:30 PM as a preschool teacher. I’m available for overnight stays during the week, and depending on your pet’s location, I may be able to stop by during my lunch break for a quick potty break. I’m also available for evening walks, drop-in visits, and weekend care. I provide care in your home, following your pet’s routine and rules to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, always supervising to ensure your pet is secure and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency, tailoring care to each pet’s personality and needs. You can relax knowing your furry, feathery, or scaly friend will receive attentive, loving, and reliable care while you’re away

“We are so grateful to have found Joseph. Our mini poodle is quite skittish around people other than family, and Joseph showed great patience and understanding with her, allowing her to get comfortable on her own timeline. Now when he arrives, our dog is thrilled to see him and comes home from walks happy and relaxed. We also appreciate Joseph's dependability and reliability; we trust him completely.”

“Melissa is extremely good with all animals and I would highly recommend her! Years ago when one of my german shepherds had a behavior issue we asked Melissa to work with us and the trainer to help correct the problem. Melissa understood what the trainer was doing and helped us to learn how to work with our dog. She has also fed, walked, and administered meds to our dogs while we were on vacation. Melissa is very reliable, knowledgeable about animals and extremely good with them. I trust her with all my animals care!”

About: I adore animals and like to treat everyone as if it’s my own. I have been pet sitting throughout college and post grad for about 5 years now. I am incredibly reliable and will treat your space as if it’s my own. I work a fully remote job. I am incredibly flexible and able to care to all your pets needs. Welcome all jobs short or long. I like to keep your furry friend on there set schedule and routines. Everyone operates differently like to meet with the family and see what is best for your animal while you’re away. Love sending lots of updates and pictures throughout the process.

“Finding someone trustworthy to check in on our senior dog, Siena, was important to us, and Lisa has exceeded our expectations. She’s always reliable, keeps us in the loop, and you can tell she genuinely cares about what she does. Siena enjoys her visits and is comfortable with Lisa, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel so fortunate to have found Lisa!”

“Alison is wonderful, she’s very communicative, and even braved the pouring rain! Would highly recommend Alison for pet sitting and dog walks.”

About: Our pets are a very special part of our families. They each have their own quirks and personalities, and they all bring so much love and joy to our lives. I will meet your pet’s needs, and spend time with them in the way they like the most. I have been a dog walker and pet care provider for 17 years now, and I still love my job! Each pet that I meet makes me smile. I like to think that I am able to give some of the happiness these animals bring to me, back to them. Over my 17 years of being a pet care provider, I have had experience with dogs of all different breeds, sizes and ages -from puppies to seniors. I am fully insured. I am willing to work with your pup on basic training, or put them in my car, for a short drive to a favorite walking area. If you need me to feed your dog or cat, please let me know. I can also spend time playing or cuddling with your dog or cat. When I am not enjoying the company of pets, I am drawing or painting pet portraits for commissions. I look forward to meeting your special pet. I will give them the activity, affection, and attention that is right for them. I am dependable, professional and most of all, caring. You can count on me to take good care of your pet, and you can feel confident, knowing that your pet is in exceptional hands, when you are not able to take care of them yourself. I have been walking dogs and taking care of pets during the day for 17 years now, and I spend my evenings drawing and painting pets for commissions as a pet portrait artist. It’s all about the animals with me! I would love to come to your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood, or perhaps drive them to a close by favorite walking area. Some dogs have invisible fence collars, and need to be driven off the property, or they live on busy streets, that are not safe streets to walk on. I can drive them to a quiet side street or a park, if you prefer. You can request a feeding, if you would like, and I could do a quick scan of the house for any unexpected accidents, and clean them up for you. I can do drop-in visit (15 minutes), or a full 30 minute walk or play in the yard. More time can be requested, if necessary. For cat care, I can clean the litter boxes, feed your cat/refresh their water, and play or cuddle with them. I can also take a quick scan of the house for messes for them also.

About: Animals are my whole life! I work at an animal shelter and have years of experience caring for animals. I have 2 perfect dogs of my own! Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life, so fitting pet care into my routine feels very natural. I’m used to structuring my day around animals’ needs and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, exercised, and loved. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for both the pet and the space. I follow all care instructions closely and try to maintain the pet’s normal schedule. I treat every home with care, keep things clean and organized, and provide regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jacquelyn! She has gone above and beyond in caring for my elderly dog and cats, providing them with not just the essentials but genuine love and attention. From the very start, she has been incredibly kind, communicative, and dependable, always keeping me updated with messages and pictures that give me peace of mind. Caring for senior pets requires patience and extra effort, and Jacquelyn has shown both in abundance. Whether it’s taking extra time on walks, administering special care, or making sure my cats feel just as loved, she has exceeded all my expectations. It’s clear she truly cares about the well-being of the animals she looks after. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacquelyn.”

About: For the past three years, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter with my mother. I completed my senior internship there and now volunteer on my own. In my time at the shelter, I’ve gained lots of dog walking experience, especially with young puppies. I’m familiar with shelter training techniques and with cleaning and sanitation. I have two dogs of my own, one of which is a difficult walker. I know how most types of dog harnesses work. My internship involved spending time in the cat room, during which time I worked with cats of all temperaments. I don’t currently work in an official capacity and don’t play any sports, so I’m free pretty much all the time aside from my volunteer work. I’m going to college in September, so I’m not available for long term arrangements that go past summer. I’m used to animals with a wide range of play styles. I have a dog that loves to play fetch and go for swims, and I live near a large trail system, so I’m most familiar with those forms of enrichment. I have a minivan and can drive dogs to dog parks, trails, and fields.

About: I grew up in a dog-centric household, however I have taken care of my own dogs for the past 19 years. For the last 8 years, I've had the opportunity to foster dogs through different organizations, as well. It has been an extremely rewarding and educational experience with regards to learning about a multitude of different dogs and how best to deal with different dog personalities and what their mannerisms indicate. The foster dogs that I cared for ranged from puppies to senior dogs and included numerous different breeds. I've had dogs that were incredibly easy, as well as ones that were particularly difficult and high maintenance. These experiences have made me open to taking care of all types of dogs; I'm happy to help administer medicine, eye drops, insulin injections, etc. I've experienced it all! My schedule is flexible because I'm currently based from my home. This basically means that I'm available to provide care in whatever capacity needed beginning from late morning until the evening and any day Whenever a dog is my responsibility I make a point of giving them the care and attention that they require. I'm available to walk any pup beginning from late morning into the evening, including multiple times a day. I currently live in a house with 3 acres and a huge back yard with forest surrounding it, so it is not fenced. However, I'm more than happy to walk your dog if there's a fear that they will run into the forest. I'm also open to dog-sitting for anyone going on vacation! Our house is set up to accommodate dogs visiting and staying due to my previous fostering, which is how I came to have my two current dogs. Also, I'm a firm believer in positive reinforcement to teach dogs acceptable behavior and manners, so no punishments that may traumatize or hurt the pup!

“Claire was great! I have booked Claire for repeat visits, and she is always timely and responsive. My dog isn't the most motivated walker, but she gets him out and about getting his workout.”

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life and know how to make animals feel comfortable and cared for. I offer dog walking and cat boarding from my home in Yorktown Heights. Guest cats stay in their own private room with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. For dog walking I keep things low stress, consistent, and fun. I work from home regularly so I'm around often and take every pet's routine seriously. I treat every animal like my own. I work from home frequently which means pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. For dog walking I'm flexible on timing and can work around your schedule for morning, afternoon, or evening walks. For cat boarding, guest cats get visits multiple times a day including morning feeding, a midday check-in, and an evening wind-down with fresh food, clean water, and a scooped litter box. Weekends I'm generally very available and weekdays I can accommodate most requests with a little advance notice. I genuinely enjoy spending time with and meeting new animals so this isn't a job to me, it's a passion. I have a dog and two cats of my own so I know firsthand what animals need to feel safe and comfortable. Guest cats are kept in their own private, dedicated room completely separate from my resident pets, giving them a quiet space to decompress and settle in at their own pace. For dog walking I keep things calm and consistent, always on leash, through the safe residential streets of Yorktown Heights or local parks where my dog frequents himself. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a pet is social and energetic or shy and cautious, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My home is peaceful, clean, and genuinely pet friendly.

About: I promise to treat your fur babies as well as I treat my own. I'm a mother of humans and doggies. My schedule is very flexible, and I truly enjoy my time with your dog. I'm happy to come by while you're at work to walk, feed, and play with your pup. I'm also available to sit in my home if you have to go away. I'm happy to send photos and videos to you while caring for your pet. I will put caring for your pet first. I look forward to meeting you and your pet, forming relationships and keeping open communication. Do you have other things that need to be done while I'm with your pet, you can let me know that as well. I am happy to help make your life easier, while keeping your pet happy. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile.
