Dog Walking Staten Island

“Amazing! Accommodating! Super friendly and knowledgeable and took us last minute. You’re a lifesaver, thank you!!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive hands-on experience in veterinary care. I've worked as a vet assistant at a general practice for 2 years and counting. I am currently attending Cornell University and studying Animal Science. This academic background gives me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and emergency care. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and needs, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring medication or extra attention. I also have one 5-year-old dog of my own, Simba, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I am an undergraduate student at Cornell University so I definitely have time to help you and your pet. I am generally more flexible on the weekends and can do drop-ins and walk your pets any time of the day. I can also do the same services on the weekdays, but only after 5pm. Since I am still in college in Ithaca, my schedule can vary during holidays and when I am home in Staten Island during breaks. I will update my calendar to reflect these changes. To respect yout home, I treat it as my own. I ask permission before hand and make sure to keep clients in the loop at all times. I love all pets so you can trust me to be patient and caring of your furry babies! I will play with your pets and give them all the love and praise that they deserve.

“Andy has been amazing with our 2 dogs!! One of our dogs is a little difficult and we don’t trust him with many people (he is very reactive) but he warmed right up to Andy! Andy is very experienced, professional, knows how to handle dogs, and most importantly -we trust him with our boys! We also appreciate that he communicates with us after their walks. Thank you Andy!”

About: Growing up, I have always looked after dogs of close friends and family, and have studied nutrition and health, which led me to work at a pet hotel for about a year with almost every dog breed. My responsibilities included prepping food, cleaning, 1 on 1 play, and group play. I have been in charge of up to 20 dogs at 1 time. I also co-own a dog named Luna. The other owner and I had Luna since she was a puppy and she is now 5 years old. I teach obedience/behavior training to many dogs and I develop trust with dogs that is unique to my experience with various breeds. It takes patience and consistency to be a great leader for dogs and I wear my heart on my sleeve for every dog I'm caring for; communication with your dog is key. I currently work with dogs full time and make Dog care apart of my every day routine, if I'm not with my dog I'm working with other dogs. I have a good size open backyard and toys depending on the play style of your dog; crate training is much appreciated if they are familiar. Walks are frequent, especially for high energy dogs

“Oleg treats my Bulldog sammy as if he was his own. Sammy loves taking walks with Oleg and looks forward to them each time. Highly recommend !!”

About: I’ve spent the past 3 years volunteering with shelter dogs that were reactive, nervous, high energy, sensitive, untrained, and everything in between. My sister and I would take shelter dogs out for the day and bring them to the beach, on long walks, and on car rides, basically just let them have a full day outside of the shelter. That experience taught me a completely different level of dog care than I was used to from simply caring for my grandmother’s dog, Lulu. It taught me patience, how to adjust to each dog’s personality, and got me very comfortable spending a whole day out with a dog! The most I’ve walked with a dog in one day was 11 miles, so if you’re worried about your dog getting enough exercise, I’m always happy to put in the miles! Whether your dog loves long walks or prefers a slower stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to go at their pace! I learned how to recognize when a dog is uncomfortable, when to give them space, and how to work with their individual boundaries. Shelter dogs taught me that no two dogs are the same, and caring for them isn’t something to take lightly. I’ve also volunteered at the Staten Island Zoo for 3 years and have had animals around me my entire life. My pets back home in New York include my 8 year old cat Nemo, a blue tongued skink, bearded dragon, gecko, gerbils, tortoise, pixie frog, and more. My sister and I grew up going to animal expos, so I’ve had experience being around and caring for many different kinds of animals. Because of that, I’m very comfortable around animals, but I also know that being comfortable doesn’t mean ignoring their boundaries. I want to know their routine, personality, triggers, habits, favorite things, and anything else that helps them feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them! I’m a Virginia Tech student with a pretty open class schedule. Classes usually take up only about two hours of my day, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. I’m happy to take dogs on long walks and give them lots of time outside if that’s what they enjoy. When we’re home, they’ll have my attention too, whether they want to play, relax together, or just have someone nearby. I live at The Hub, which is a pet friendly community with its own dog park and plenty of outdoor spaces for walks and potty breaks. I’d only use the dog park if it’s empty. I’m also happy to skip it completely if that’s what you prefer! I’d follow whatever routine your dog is already used to and keep things as normal and comfortable for them as possible while they’re with me!

About: I am a firm believer in treating owners pet as if it was a child. I believe just like a child a pet should have manners while being allowed to still be a a wild furry creature. I have worked for the Animal Medical Center the ASPCA ACC and Veterinary Emergency Refferal Group.

“My Chewy immediately fell in love with Jennifer during our meet and greet. And he instantly connected with her. I knew right there and then that she was the perfect dog walker for him. And she did not disappoint. Chewy came so happy from his walk and she took the cutest pictures of him for his report card.”

Dogs are family to me, and I welcome every dog I care for as one of my own, providing a safe, loving, and comfortable home while you’re away.

About: Favorite pastime: exploring with fur babies. I help friends with pet sitting, and I've also done pet/house sitting with Trusted Housesitters. I love exploring nature with animals, and can take them on long hikes. I can also play with them indoors for hours on end. I work freelance/remote, so my schedule adjusts to the pet's schedule. I have plenty of time to play with them, sit at home with them, or take them out for walks. Pets are always on a leash if out of the home. No phones on walks so I can be present with the animal. I can provide as much cuddles and validation as they need to ease their separation anxiety. I can also crate them if need be, this varies by pet and owner.
