Dog Walking Sugar Loaf

About: Pets are family, so when I’m taking care of your child/home, I’ll keep it tidy, keep you updated, and keep in touch! I’m currently attending school full time, so I will be most available early mornings and later nights during the week. I am available all weekend Friday-Sunday. I have a big yard with a lot of land to work with. I have 2 friendly dogs of my own. I can leave a crate safely in my home as well.

About: Super flexible schedule! located in Goshen, NY. ** I have experience with reactive dogs, 100+ lb dogs, and a specialty in small animals incl. rabbits, birds, guinea pigs & more ** Whether your pet is in need of a walk, medication or feeding routine, time at home, assistance to their special needs, or checking on their wellbeing, I will ensure your babies get everything they need with a stress-free experience! I would be more than happy to help with pet sitting or dog walking, no matter your pet’s size or age. ♡ I have fully open and flexible availability. I’m able to dog walk and do home drop-ins in Orange County. I can usually squeeze in last minute bookings. If owner would like to opt-in for photos, I’d be more than happy to take some photos of your pet and send them over to you!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shannon and Justin have been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Aria! They are reliable, communicative, and clearly care so much about the dogs they look after. We always feel at ease knowing Aria is in such good hands. She gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care during their visits, and they give us great updates each time. It’s such a relief to know we can trust them when we’re at work or away. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable and loving pet sitters!”

“My first time trying Rover and it was a great experience. Erika took great care of my pups while I was away. I highly recommend her and I will use her again.”

“Maddy was excellent! I booked her as a walker when I was in a pickle last minute, she is very kind and quick to respond. She also makes the extra effort to make sure your fur baby is taken care of, the way I, as an owner would want. Definitely would recommend!”

Joyce C.

“Julia was terrific! She showed up for a last minute request. She was friendly, prompt and flexible. My dog was very comfortable with her at the outset. I was so impressed that since she needed to address something at home she offered to take my dog with her rather than give me less than the full hour walk.”

About: I’ve spent over a decade helping dogs and the people who love them build better relationships. My background includes professional dog training, developing an animal-assisted intervention program in a special education school, working with therapy dog teams, supporting rescue dogs, and educating handlers using positive reinforcement methods. As a former teacher, I bring patience, observation, and a thoughtful approach to every dog I care for. I believe every dog is an individual, and I take the time to understand their personality, communication style, comfort level, and what motivates them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk or stopping by for a visit, my focus is on more than just exercise. I pay close attention to body language and stress signals while providing enrichment, safe exploration, and positive interactions tailored to your dog’s needs. I love giving dogs the opportunity to sniff, explore, and enjoy the world while building confidence and trust. I have experience with puppies, adolescent dogs, senior dogs, and rescue dogs adjusting to new homes. I incorporate positive reinforcement principles, including concepts from Puppy Culture, to help puppies develop confidence, healthy habits, and a strong foundation. For dogs who enjoy adventure, I’m also happy to offer longer enrichment walks or easy hikes on dog-friendly trails (with owner approval). These outings are a great way for active dogs to get additional physical and mental enrichment while exploring safely at their own pace. As a dog owner myself, I understand that your dog is family. My goal is to provide the same thoughtful, reliable care, communication, and attention that I would want for my own dogs. I also have experience caring for cats, including living with a senior cat, and I understand that cats often need a different approach than dogs. I’m happy to provide thoughtful care while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. Every visit/ walk, you will get text updates and photos. As a pet mom myself, it always puts me at ease to see a happy picture while in the care of a trusted sitter or walker. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family members! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions! ☺️ I currently offer walks/ hikes Mondays & Wednesdays: 9:45-12:30 Fridays: 9:45-11:15 I can do check-ins and occasional walks on scheduled weekends and evenings as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I believe every dog and cat is an individual, and I take the time to understand their routines, body language, personality, and needs before providing care. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a safe, calm environment for your pet. I use thoughtful handling practices, pay attention to stress signals, and make decisions based on what is best for each individual animal. I always make sure they have fresh water upon return from our walk, and during check-in visits. As a longtime pet owner with dogs and a senior cat of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I treat each home and pet with respect, provide reliable communication, and will always prioritize your pet’s well-being.

“Tessa is a great help to me and Jackson! She's very flexible and accommodating. Jackson warmed up to her right away and always looks forward to her visits! 🐕”

“Best drop-in dog walks!! Shannon is always right on time, provides updates and truly plays with and loves on our Goose! He is always smiling so big in his photos while he’s with Shannon. Best part of his day, and so much peace of mind for us while we’re at work during the day. Don’t hesitate to book with her!!”

About: I have many years of experience living with and caring for a variety of animals of all ages. I've had cats in my own home my entire life and have owned dogs as well for the last 10 years. Neighbors and friends have trusted me with caring for their pets since I was 12 years old. I've also cared for horses and competed in the equestrian sport for over 20 years, which requires a high level of responsibility and discipline. All of this experience has allowed me to develop a great understanding of animal behavior, communication, and basic training concepts. You can trust me to safely care for your furry loved ones as if they were my own with lots of love, cuddles, and play! Im available with a schedule that is flexible during the week and on weekends - please check with me for my current availability for bookings! I can adapt to the needs of your pet whether it is caring for an indoor cat who needs food, water, litter, and attention, or a dog who needs to be walked around the neighborhood or exercised with a game of fetch in a safe fenced in area. I will always allow the animal to lead in establishing a trusting relationship with me. I have enough experience to identify signs of distress in an emergency and can also apply basic training methods in a warranted situation while walking a dog on a leash in order to keep everyone safe.

“We felt very confident with Linda taking care of our dog. She came over prior to when we needed her to meet our go & get to know her. She was easy to reach when we had questions. A great 1st time Rover experience.”

Ken R.

About: I have life long experience taking care of dogs, between my own personal dogs, to my siblings dogs as well as close friends and family. I have this connection with animals that I can't describe which makes me the favorite uncle amongst my furry nieces and nephews. I have experience training my own dogs and my siblings dogs as well in the past. I also have experience with elderly dogs. I have a full and open schedule during the week and I am flexible with time. The weekends can be discussed further upon request of service. We are currently set up for only walks and visits. so care for pets will be at client residence to ensure they fell safe in their environment

“Alexa is beyond great! She is a pitbull aficionado and I’m sure she knows a lot about other dogs as well. I feel blessed to have found her! My dog absolutely loves her! She knows so much about dogs that I’m learning from her. Thank you so much Rover for getting us together. I am beyond grateful.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have multiple years experience caring for dogs, cats, pocketpets, rabbits, fish, parakeets, reptiles and chickens. I also have experience providing care in a rabbit/cat/small animal rescue and in stables so I am very well rounded when it comes to all manner of pet care. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing, etc. Currently my schedule is generally Monday-Friday 8:00am-5:00pm with a bit of leeway here and there. I can do walks and drop ins on evenings and weekends. Knowing what your pet needs in advance makes it easier for me to set my upcoming schedule to accommodate them. And as an added bonus when it comes to working from home: House sitting is a breeze! I am able to give tons of attention during the work day and use my breaks to take pups out for walks and play time. For my own pets I have two cats and guinea pigs. The guinea pigs have a large cage in my spare room/office and there is plenty of room to board other pocket pets if need be. For other people's pets I will absolutely treat them with the same care and attention as my own. I understand that each pet and family is different so I will use your guidance and details to know exactly what your pet needs to make them happy and comfortable!

About: I will treat your pets like family. I have one cat and one small Pomeranian. If your pet has special needs I am able to dispense medication. I love giving animals attention and love. I have a large house and a decent sized backyard. I am able to travel to your pets. I have pet first aid experience. I am alert and watching your pet at all times. I have had pets since I was born. I grew up around both cats and dogs. I have a non-profit where I super coupon for pet food and pet supplies and donate them to my local animal shelter. 50% of the money I make on here goes towards funding my donations for the animal shelter. Thank you for your time.

“Natisha arrived on time and was friendly. My dog was a little shy at first (this is not unusual) and wanted to head home early, but Natisha extended the time with my approval and he was fine! This was my first time using the app and Natisha was helpful with answering my questions.”
