Dog Walkers in South Wales, NY

“Jason has only been visiting Margo for a couple of weeks but she looks forward to seeing him. He's really good with her and it's comforting to know that he has medical experience.”

“I am very very happy we found Ann! She has developed an excellent rapport with Hannah and Jake. They are two of my four dogs and I am super selective of who would take care of my dogs out of my presence. They are ready to jump out the window (if they could) when they see her coming to take them for a walk. Her communication is very efficient and I love the photos from their walk.”

Sandra W.

“An incredibly kind and compassionate human, who has a way with my beloved Westie, Charlie. It made our day to have met her and we can't wait to see her again for a walk or drop in visits this Fall.”

Elizabeth A.

“I have high-energy reactive dogs it’s hard finding someone capable of managing them. I trust Kim and her family completely, plus the pups love her.”

About: I really enjoy working with dogs. I spent a lot of time training my dog to do fun tricks and he jalso loves scavenger hunts. Anything to challenge their minds is great. I’m currently searching for a new career and have plenty of time in my schedule. I would love to be able to help someone out. I like to take walks in different places to change up the routine. I also find structure or routine important prior to and returning from walks.

About: My family has always had dogs, as well as other pets, such as birds, fish, and cats, providing me the opportunity to gain extensive experience in animal care-taking. Additionally, I have a passion for protecting and caring for all animals as I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, and have my Master’s degree in Wildlife Ecology & Management. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and am not scared by big dogs. My boyfriend’s family has two large dogs that I often watch and walk with ease.

Trust that any special request you have made will be followed and that the health and safety of your pet(s) will be a priority.

About: Having worked as both a dog trainer and a pet care associate for PetSmart for 3+ years - as well as having always been a pet owner myself - I’ve learned a great deal about how to suit the needs of each and every pet and how to best communicate with them and accommodate their needs! With a set Mon-Fri schedule, it’s quite easy to take up a job with the right schedule that fits both your needs and what I can provide! I can comfortably handle different types of animals with my 2+ years of experience owning my own (cats, dogs, gerbils, hamsters, etc) and working with different species at my previous job as a PetSmart worker for 3+ years!

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting (all different breeds) for friends and family over the past couple years, either in their home or my own. I am a figure skating and hockey coach. This requires me to be at the rink for 3-4 hours a day, generally in the afternoon/early evening. All of the office work that I do for it can be completed from home. I have a cat in my own home. If I’m ever to have dogs there, I put him downstairs with his litter box and food so that we don’t have to worry about the pets not getting along.

About: Hi there! I’m a 34 year old animal lover who believes every animal deserves a bit of adventure. When I’m not working as an Account Executive, you can find me at the gym, studying for school, or hiking the ADK with my fiance’. I have such a passion for the outdoors and would love to take your doggo to explore local trails or cool new spots. Though, I’m just as happy sticking to your home or neighborhood for those couch potato pups ♥️ I’m also a cat lady so I’m down to do drop in visit for those fur babies as well. As a lifelong pet owner and full time professional, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your best friend. Pets are family and I’ll treat them with the same devotion I’ve always given my own. Since I do work a flexible schedule, I have time for walks or drop in visits to keep your furry friend happy and active! I like to structure my day around staying active, so fitting in a rewarding outdoor adventure is a natural and seamless part of my daily routine. Doggos will be walked for at least 30 minutes per visit, on leash, as safety always comes first. (Unless you have a fenced yard at your residence). I’d like to bring the pups out to hike Como Park or a nearby trail, if allowed by owner.

About: I have been fortunate enough to have had animals most of my life. These have ranged from dogs, rabbits, chickens, horses, cows, and fish. I have volunteered time at a wildlife rehab and also worked a few years at a dog daycare facility that would average about 50 dogs a day. I have a bachelors degree in Animal behavior, ecology and conservation. I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I currently have 2 rabbits and a dog. I am a substitute teacher so my schedule is rather flexible. It allows me to arrange my week how I need it. My afternoons are usually pretty open. I will ensure that each pet is safe, secure and well taken care of in the comfort of their own home while providing updates to their families.

About: I used to dog walk a couple dogs. Then I moved onto horses. So I know I can handle the hardest canines. They’re fun to have around. I’m working but also just thinking about doing this instead. Work gets boring and this wouldn’t. I love animals and they tend to love me back. I have a giant yard. They can’t be off leash but we can have fun running in the grass. I have animals that will stay upstairs when the dog or cat is here.

About: I love dogs and had one for 17 years! Our good boy recently crossed the rainbow bridge and we miss him so much. I have experience with young dogs, but also with senior dogs I am currently available during the day every weekday, so whether it’s an early morning or late afternoon walk, I can be there no problem! I treat every dog like my own and give them as long as a walk as they prefer or as many pets as they desire!

About: With 15 years of pet care experience, I’m dependable and attentive. I make sure every dog or cat feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. My schedule is very flexible and open, so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays whenever needed. I plan around each pet’s routine. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own. I follow any instructions or schedules closely, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable.

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Growing up, my family and I regularly took in sick, injured, or abandoned animals, nursing them back to health and giving them the love they needed to thrive. This early experience taught me not only the basics of pet care, but also the patience, compassion, and attentiveness it takes to truly understand an animal’s needs. While I love all creatures, I have a special connection with cats and dogs, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, administering medication, or just giving them some extra love, I take pride in treating every animal as if they were my own. I am a business owner who works remote - which makes fitting pet care into my schedule fairly easy. So long as I have a day or so for notice and am not currently booked with anyone else, I can typically make myself available. I can easily provide my services in your home in order to ensure the comfort of your pets. I’m happy to take them outside to play, go for walks, feed them, snuggle them, and ensure litter boxes and yards are cleaned up during my visit.

“I highly recommend Nikki.”

“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future”

About: I have been in the animal field for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I took care of horses and volunteered at the Erie County Fair in the horse barn there. After high school in 2016, I became a dog Groomer and worked at Best In Show Dog Grooming as one of the top pet stylists. When Covid hit I decided I wanted to go back to school so I dropped down to part time and am currently in my third year at Medaille College to become a Veterinarian Technician. About a year ago I gave up my job as a Dog Groomer to work in a Veterinarian hospital and now I am currently a Veterinarian Assistant. I have a dog of my own her name is Ruby and she is an 80lb Saint Bernard, Akita mix. I also have three cats name Gypsy, Pippin, and Shaggy. There is no pet too big or strong, I am use to the big guys. I am currently working part-time at the Veterinarian Hospital and I am on break from school until August 30th. Even when I go back to school I will be able to check on your fur babies. My dog is super friendly and will keep your pet occupied if you're okay with it. I will definitely ask permission before introducing. I will also take your fur baby for a walk, feed them, give them love for you when you're away, and make sure they have everything they need.
