Dog Walkers in West Sand Lake, NY

“Linda is great at rolling with whatever Nikko’s mood is for the day. Sometimes he wants to walk—even run a bit—and sometimes he just wants to go out for a quick pee and get some love. She’s the best!”

“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

About: I am a 26 year old who has always had a love for caring for animals. I have owned dogs all my life. A springer spaniel named Kramer, a black lab named Bernie and currently have a 7 year old yellow lab named Larry. I have watched many family members dogs of all sizes while they have gone away age ranging from puppies to older dogs, so I have experience with all kinds. I love being around any kind of dog whether it is walking them, or just hanging out with them all day. I have grown up with dogs and have owned them at all ages so I am comfortable with dogs of any age and size. I am very responsible and will care for your dog as if it is my own!

About: Growing up I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs for over 16 years and had full responsibility of up to 4 dogs at a time for over 10 years. Most of my experience with with dogs under 20lbs but I’m excited for the opportunity to care for bigger dogs. All of the dogs I’ve had in my life were rescued, and I have dealt with an array of behaviors from separation anxiety to traumatic fear of anything and everyone to anxiety that manifests in aggressive or destructive behavior. I know every pup is different and will need a unique approach in care. Training is something I’m experienced in whether it’s a new pup learning the ropes or just a skill you’re working on with your dog. My two favorite skills I’ve taught my dog is to dance on her hind legs, and to ring a door bell when she has to go potty outside. If you are working on any training with your pup and would like me continue your hard work - just let me know! From sit, stay, place when walking in, or a potty queue, I’m happy to work with you both to stay on course for your goals! Senior care is something I’m very experienced and passionate about. My last little guy, Jo, was around 16 years old, blind, deaf, and had multiple medical conditions with the most challenging being Collapsing Trachea. Administering most medications is something I’m very comfortable doing as my little man had between 5 and 8 medicines he took daily. I’m hyper aware of little shakes and bumps that may seem out of the ordinary due to Jo’s many needs. My knowledge and attention to detail in senior dogs will make sure every pup will get the exercise and gentle care they need while keeping them comfortable no matter the adaptions they may need. A few preventative things I pay attention to with each and every pup in my care are: - Stool: abnormal color or texture can be a sign of stomach or organ distress and can be easy to miss if you aren’t looking for it. - Urine: pet UTI’s are more common than you may think, and also can be easy to miss in early stages. Frequency and color can sometimes be a warning of UTI’s. After a vet misdiagnosed my childhood dog Gigi as being overweight instead of a UTI, she ended up in the hospital with emergency surgery as her organs were shutting down. Since then, simple daily color and frequency monitoring has helped me make sure all my other pets were healthy and comfortable. - Abnormal behavior: lethargy, difference in appetite, and trouble going to the bathroom are all things I pay attention to with each pup I’m spending time with. Increased aggression or constipation can be early signs of illness. Each visit will have have feedback on these specific items along with general notes to make sure you know exactly how our walk or visit went! These notes can also be helpful in finding patterns of behavioral or medical attention that may be needed on top of peace of mind while you’re away. Working from home with flexible hours helps to make me available at almost any time during the week. Making sure pets have daily exercises, mentally stimulating toys and treats, and snuggles daily are top priority. Caring for fur baby’s in your home will be completely adaptable to your their current routine - do they have a specific routine to be followed? Do they only like going in the backyard? Do they need a minimum walk of 20 minutes? Their routine or need is my command. Shoes off in the house, filtered water only in their bowls, rinse and wash the bowls before refilling, nothing is too much for your pet’s comfort and safety.

“Jada is a consistant and reliable dog walker. She goes above and beyond just walking my dog by leaving the funniest post-walk notes to let me know how the walk went. I have started sharing this extra effort with coworkers, and now it is often the highlight of our days. Thank you, Jada!! 💕”
