Dog Walkers in West Copake, NY

About: I’m a pre-vet major with a love for all animals, especially dogs! I’m 19 years old, a full time student, and have 5 years of dogsitting and dog walking experience! I have a soft spot for older dogs, as well as experience caring for young litters of pups! I walk some of my clients’ dogs in their own backyard trails, and a few I transport to local parks for our walks. I love all of my clients dogs like they’re my own, and take special care to encourage their interests, and adapt our time together to fit their personality and needs! I have 6 repeat clients that I’ve met through rover, and treasure the time that I spend with their pets. The reoccurring clients I’ve had for 8 months have become a staple in my life, and a regular in my routine. It’s so special to be the part of the week that a dog looks forward to!! Booking a few weeks in advance is a good way to ensure I’m able to work around YOUR schedule! I take pride in caring for your pets like they are my own! As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of not only respecting your dog’s boundaries, but also the rules you have for your dog! If you or your pet need to be accommodated in any way I’ll do my best to make it happen!

“Ashley is a delight. She was very communicative and caring about our elderly dog with special needs. We only needed her to come and take him for a walk, but he is blind and deaf and also wears a diaper. She let us know when she got to our house and sent pictures afterwards. We felt very comfortable with her and will definitely be using her again.”

“Jessica was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and was conscientious, prompt and communicative. We will happily ask her to take care of Maddox in the future. Thanks Jessica!”

About: Hi there! My name is Alicia and was born and raised in the Hudson Valley- after some time In the city I am back in the Valley and ready to hike, spend time in nature and hang with animals. I know how important it is to make sure your pet is in a safe environment while still getting the structure and schedule they are used to. I will do my best to take the dogs out as often as you like and around the same time they normally do. I have taken care of animals my whole life. Looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your pet sitting needs! I am currently working part time from home so I have lots of time to keep your pet company! We have a nice yard and some great local parks/ trails If the need more exercise. I have an unfenced yard but will keep pups on leash and safe. I do have a two year old cat named Oyni- ideally the dog and cat get along but my in laws love hanging with him so we could have him go there if they don’t. (He is great with dogs)

About: I have been around animals all my life. Born in the country, cows and horses are most common, but I’ve come to love having dogs, cats, and reptiles of my own! There has never been an animal I couldn’t warm up to, and I love getting to know every pets unique personality. I DO OWN PETS, I just am not offering boarding services or requesting sitting services so I would prefer not to share their details! I am always willing to move around my schedule to better fit my clients needs! I have a ride I depend on for now while I’m learning to drive, so I cannot be out too late unless I’m staying the night. I prefer to pet sit or walk pets at other homes, not my own, as I have a reactive dog with history of abuse, and she is not amicable with other pets.

“Nicole and her friend (Josh?) were super sweet with Daisy. She seems like a very caring person and very observant.”

“Nicole was so great with my dog Brady! Will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life forever, and caring for them isn’t a job for me — it’s truly a passion. I’ve owned animals my entire life and currently have four dogs, who are very much like my kids. I understand how important trust, consistency, and love are when someone is coming into your home to care for your pet. I specialize in drop-in visits and dog walking, making sure your pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. Whether that’s a refreshing walk, playtime, feeding, litter box care, or just some extra cuddles and reassurance, I treat every visit as if it were my own pet. I’m also a mom to three girls who absolutely adore cats and dogs and have grown up learning how to be gentle, respectful, and loving with animals of all personalities. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy in their own home. When I visit, your pets aren’t just being checked on — they’re being genuinely cared for. ❤️🐶🐱 I am of mom of 3 school aged girls! Mid day walks are my speciality! During school days off- I have little helpers that love playing with dogs and cats! (With your approval, of course!) I offer drop ins and overnight care when requested. Dogs are always happiest in their own homes. I have 4 dogs , and can accommodate 1-2 more depending on size and temperament.

About: We’ve been dog sitting and caring for pets for years and have built strong relationships with dozens of happy, reliable clients. Our goal is to make every dog and cat feel comfortable, safe, loved, and anxiety-free while you’re away. We have experience with high-energy, needy, and attention-seeking pets, and we always adapt to each animal’s personality and routine. Communication is very important to us, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for like family. I’m currently home full-time with my two boys, which gives me a very flexible and reliable schedule for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and whatever your pet may need throughout the day. Because I’m home often, your pets will receive plenty of attention, care, supervision, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. We have a very large private backyard with over an acre of space for dogs to enjoy and explore. While the yard is not fenced in, it is set far back from busy roads and offers a quiet, safe, and peaceful environment. Safety is extremely important to us, and all outdoor time is closely supervised. Our property is long and spacious with plenty of room for walks, playtime, and exercise while still maintaining privacy and a calm atmosphere for pets to feel comfortable and relaxed.

“Chrissie has been walking Summer for nearly 3 weeks now and has been a tremendous help in making sure Summer gets some exercise & TLC while I am at work. If you need someone to care for your pup while you're otherwise occupied, Chrissie is the best choice and will treat your dog like she's her own. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

About: Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect. Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in. In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.

I’ve done house sitting and dog sitting previously and enjoyed the work. I have my own vehicle and am used to commuting around the Hudson Valley for work and for fun. I wanted to get back into dog sitting and pet sitting to assist in getting a new car and to get to spend time with pets! I have always been obsessed with dogs! I show that through meeting as many as I can when out in the community :). I am active person, so long walks and playing is something I can provide.

I am great with a schedule and specific requests.

“Dakota was great. She offered to do a meet and greet with Cosmo prior to our scheduled walks. She was very communicative during the booking process and provided updates on his walks. We will certainly work with her again.”

About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family. I have been primarily working as a pet nanny for 5 years for someone who traveled to Europe on a monthly basis. They are staying in Europe indefinitely so I am looking to add some new clients. I can offer your dogs fun playtime and a sense of stability by caring for them in their own environment. I am also available for walks and drop in visits. I send pictures and updates daily. Your best friend will be spoiled and pampered with me. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability as this is my main job. I can also do long term sitting up to 6 weeks if necessary. I am responsible and professional and respectful in your home. Besides caring for your pets, I am happy to pick up mail and water plants.
