Dog Walkers in Trumansburg, NY

“Bailey is super friendly and flexible. My dog got comfortable with her very quickly and even my introverted cat liked to say hi when Bailey stopped by. Looking forward to using Bailey again for dog walking.”

About: I specialize in caring for small/medium breed dogs in a peaceful, country home just five minutes outside of Ithaca. With experience ranging from young dogs to seniors, I provide a calm, structured environment where your pet can feel safe and at ease. What sets me apart is my exclusive focus on smaller breeds. As the owner of two small dogs myself (a Chihuahua-Terrier mix and a Pomeranian), I understand their specific needs and personalities. Because I do not take larger dogs, you can rest assured that your small pup will be in a setting designed just for them—without the stress of being around bigger pets. My home is ideal for dogs who do well in a quieter setting and enjoy consistent, attentive care. Whether your dog is older and needs a gentler pace, or simply enjoys a low-key environment, I’m here to provide a safe and loving stay. I work full-time as a remote software engineer, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention—ensuring your small dog is never left alone for long stretches and always feels cared for. Because I’m home-based and live in a quiet, country setting just outside of Ithaca, I can maintain a calm, structured environment that’s perfect for small breeds who thrive with routine and a peaceful atmosphere. I offer exclusive pet sitting services at my home, ensuring a safe and loving environment for your pet. With a large yard and the companionship of my own two playful dogs—a Chihuahua mix and a Pomeranian —your pet will enjoy playtime, walks, and personalized care. I prioritize their comfort, security, and individual needs, providing a home-away-from-home experience.

About: I have grown up around dogs, specifically seniors who are on medication or are insulin dependant. I have experience with training as well, having trained my own service dog who went to college with me. I also have raised rabbits and guinea pigs for around 8 years and have shown them acrossed the country. At the moment I'm on break from college, I have a lot of avaliable time. I'm willing to work with you and make sure your pet gets all the attention they deserve! My own dog and I go for several walks a day and we play a in the lake. I have a long haired GSD so he gets groomed daily and loves to sleep in his bed! I plan to provide similar enrichment for your animals such as mind games on rainy days and lots of walks when it's nice outside.

About: I’ve always been a dog person all my life. I just have a way with dogs. Patience is the best way to try your animals. Family members rely on me to feed their animals. Currently working at a grocery store so my hours are always different. When I finish working though I head straight over to where I need to go. Sometimes I head over before I have to work too. I take the animals outside when they need to go to the bathroom. While I’m out there I watch carefully over them. I comfort and pay attention to them. I talk to them like they are humans.

About: I have had 3 puppies in the past 3 years and one elderly, sickly dog that I help take care of, and watch a family friend's dogs, by walking and feeding them whenever they need me to as they take multiple trips throughout the year. Very flexible as watching pets is something I do on a daily basis with all 8 of my dogs requiring attention. My schedule also fits the needs of future clients and what special needs they may insist on. I would go directly to my clients home's in order to keep their dogs in a safe and comfortable environment to walk, feed and watch them as needed.

“Clara is very reliable and responsive! Our dog loves hanging out with Clara and we feel very comfortable knowing that she’s in good hands while we are at work. Our pup is very anxious and is also deaf but Clara does a great job giving her cuddles and taking care of her.”

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. We also raised pigs for a time. In my junior year of college I adopted a dog from the local shelter and he is still my pride joy. I care for him with all my heart. I have a very flexible schedule, I only work 2 out of every 8 days. Therefore I am happy to work around different needs and schedules. I care for my clients’ pets with love and affection, much the same way I do with mine. I am very respectful of everyone’s home, never tracking in dirt or mud.

“Our pets took to her right away!”

About: Animal lover of all sorts. A family isn’t complete with a furry little or big four legged best friend. I have grown up all my life around animals dogs especially, now with children of my own I love to share that experience with them. Your dog or cat will be loved and care for just like you would take care of them. My goal is to ease their worry while you are working knowing they are having a great day themselves. Available and flexible times if needed . We run, we play and meet friends (if like to play with others dogs) long walks in the leaves or snow we come over in all weather. Pick me and your dog will sure have a day to remember

About: I love all kinds of pets. You will be confident in knowing when you leave your pet with me. They will be loved and happy. I currently work hybrid during the day with a very flexible schedule. I can come home at any time to feed or let your pet out. I have a large wide open yard. We live on a dead end road. I currently have a small toy Shih Tzu. She’s just over 15 years old, but loves to play with other animals.

About: I have an 4 year old pup named Archie. We have taken several training classes together, such as Beginner 1 and 2, Fit Dog, and Canine Good Citizen. He is now a Therapy Dog through Cornell Companions. I love dogs and Archie gets along with every dog he meets! I am a teacher, but I live very close to work. I work full time during the school year but I live close to work. My work day is roughly 8:30-4 Monday-Friday. I have an opportunity to come home and check on the dog in the middle of the day. Archie comes in the car with me wherever I go, so your pup would be welcome also (if they enjoy rides). I can easily crate your dog if needed. I live in a studio apartment, so I will always have eyes on your dog but there is also space for them to relax. Dogs are allowed on the furniture with blankets. I typically leash my dog whenever he has to go potty and we go for a walk.

“Kris is an amazing person, Angus and Tommy knew it right away! They were well taken care of, and it was wonderful to know they are having fun while I am at work!”

About: I had a yellow labrador retriever for 15 years (Sadly she passed away recently). I’ve taken care of her my whole life, from when she was a puppy to when she was a senior dog at the end of her journey. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I have experience with senior dogs, like my own! I treat pets like family and give them the utmost care and love. I will treat your dog like my own and shower them with love and affection. I’m currently a college student with lots of free time! I’m in my final year and have a reduced workload, and want to find a way to be more active in my lifestyle. I do all of the necessary things to take care of your pet and keep it healthy. I will treat your pet like my own, with the very best care and love. I can crate your dog, follow a feeding/bathroom schedule, and am flexible and can stick to any routines you may have.

About: I am an animal lover and I will treat your fur babies with the same loving care that I do for my own. I love jogging/running with dogs, I will be able to take your dog to a dog park if you would like to. I will provide individualized care for you and your dogs' needs. For customers who needs home sitting: I only will be able to watch your dogs at your place if I can bring mine with me. For dog walking: I will walk wherever you and your dog usually go to, or we can explore new jogging course if you would like to. I'll make sure your dog will get enough exercise. For dog boarding: Your dog will enjoy staying in my place because I will spoil him/her with tag of war, fetching a ball, and giving special treats! I have one dog: she is a pug and jack russell terrier mix, about 3 years old. She is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She will be a great companion for your dog when he/she stays in my place!

About: I have had dogs, cats, and small animals in my life since before I could walk or talk. All my animals came into my life as babies and left as well loved and cared for elderly family members. I’m that person at a party that will plop herself on the floor to rub a dog’s belly or make friends with a cranky cat rather than talk to the other humans. I dote on animals but I don’t smother them. I’m really good at meeting an animal at it’s level; I don’t believe in forcing myself on an animal but rather working to make them feel calm and secure. I am available for morning and evening walks (I work as a college instructor during the middle of the day), weekend pet sitting, and overnight boarding. I am a college professor so I have morning, afternoons, and evenings free during the school year. During summer months, I’m able to hang with your fur family all day. I care for your fur family like they’re my own. If your fur family has a special need such as medication, I’m experienced in providing that care.
