Dog Walking West Point

About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience fostering and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. If it were up to me, every dog looking for a loving home would have a place in mine. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of looking after countless dogs, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust, learn their routines, and make them feel right at home. I’m experienced with basic training and positive reinforcement using treats, helping dogs build good habits while making learning fun. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, group feeding, administering lots of love and attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable, I always put each dog’s needs first. I’m very active, so your pup can expect plenty of walks, playtime, trips to the park, backyard fun (including supervised pool time if appropriate), and, of course, lots of cuddles and affection at the end of the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I truly believe they’re family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving the same care and attention they would at home. Whether you’re away for a weekend, a business trip, or need regular care, I’m here to provide a reliable, loving, and fun environment for your pup. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have years of experience fostering and caring for dogs, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, training, and giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and trips to the park are something I genuinely look forward to. I also make time for cuddles, enrichment activities, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy every day of the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care that’s best for them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they can relax knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats and one dog of my own, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for the past 5–6 years. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s dog walking, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care and regular updates to pet owners. I have wa flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care.

I communicate regularly with pet owners and provide updates so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines.

I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care while they are away.

“Michael bonded with Maeve immediately, and shared the most adorable photos of her on their outings! I appreciate the updates very much. He's extremely reliable and communicative. Most importantly, I know Maeve is in excellent hands!”

“Jasmine is one of the best dog walkers we’ve had! She always communicates in a timely and kind fashion, sending pictures and letting me know how Josies doing. We just moved here recently and Jasmine was really patient with Josie until she felt comfortable going on her walks (and even made her homemade treats which she loved!). Now Josie knows exactly who Jasmine is and looks forward to her walks! I’m so happy we have Jasmine in the neighborhood!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have been around animals my entire life. Cats are my favorite and I’ve had them since I was a child. In the past I have been mostly cat sitting. More recently, I have been dog walking and sitting for friend’s dogs while they are away on vacation or at work. I enjoy it as a therapeutic way of bonding with the animals as a form of self-care and mutual support and pet care co-regulation. Unfortunately, I cannot have dogs at my residence as per my lease agreement and being able to sit and walk with dogs is a way of being able to enjoy access to them without being able to own them myself. I’m looking to expand my reach and explore more breeds at this time. Specifically, I have experience with Labradors and Boxers. I’m currently working part-time and have ample time to schedule walking and feedings, and am able to stay for extended periods of time with your pets. I have two cats whom I adore and dote on at my home and I am very attentive to their needs and make sure they have an enriched environment with toys and play time, as well as grooming care.

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, but most of my family had dogs, so I have always been around them. This love for animals also got me into the veterinary field, which I have 6 years experience in. I have years of experience walking, handling, and playing with dogs and now have the experience to give oral medications or injections if needed. I currently don’t have any dogs, but I do have 2 cats. During my day I always make sure I wake up early enough to feed them and clean the litter box. After coming home from work, I feed them dinner and spend some time brushing and playing with them. I then clean the litter box before going to bed and repeat the next day. In my home, I have installed screen doors on the entry doors to prevent my cats from escaping but so they also can see the outside activity. I have socket covers to prevent them from playing in it and make sure to cover all wires so they don’t think they are toys.

About: I have worked at a veterinary hospital for 7years and I have run my own petsitting on the side for 4 years. I am experienced with all kinds of animals (exotics, farm animals, seniors, pets with behavioral quirks etc) I am able to administer medication and can handle pets with more care requirements than usual. I am a student at SUNY Oswego so during the week I do have classes but I am more than able to balance both and I am open to figuring out what works best for you and your pet(s). I take care of your pet like it’s my own. I’ve had plenty of experience both in a veterinary hospital and as a pet sitter, so your pets are in good hands :)

About: Whether we’re talking dogs or cats or hamster or frogs or birds… you name it. My family and I have cared for an abundance of pets throughout life. I now have the sweetest beagle mix aka my best friend Toby! I work 24 hour shifts as an EMT so I am able to cover my full time hours in only two days. This allows the other 5 days to spend time and play with the pups! On my days off you can find me and Toby walking around town or hiking Mnt. Beacon. I have much experience with many types of dogs— different sizes, breeds, strength, temperaments. I can assure you pup is in good hands! : )

“Great communication on and off the app, im glad I was able to find someone fully committed with such short notice!”

About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds.

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
