Dog Walkers in Westmoreland, NY

About: Hi, I'm Emily and animals have been at the heart and center of my entire life. Animals bring quality and enrichment to our lives and I like to give that back in return. I've been fortunate to have animals since I was a little girl, from pocket pets, to cats, dogs, goats, horses and even a cow! In a professional capacity, I was a veterinary technician for over 8 years, providing emergency and routine care, for both large and small animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, chickens, cows, horses, and donkeys while owners were away for about the past 10 years. The last 4 years, I have been active in kennel clubs, taking classes and learning about dog training. I am currently co-teaching obedience classes and plan to continue learning about dog behavior and training. I am currently taking clients for drop in visits and walks. Drop in visits will be tailored to your pet's specific needs, providing potty breaks, fresh food/water, cleaning, comfort, & play. Walks provide physical and mental stimulation, companionship, basic skills and play. **For large dog requests, I ask as a courtesy that they are well mannered and are not likely to jump on me and knock me over or drag me as I am only 100lbs 🙂 thank you! Safety is of utmost importance. I am committed to your pet's mental, physical health, and safety overall. I will take care as I do my own. I recognize that each animal has its own personality, some are outgoing, some are shy. I will allow them to be who they are so that they can feel safe in my presence. I will communicate with you based on your preference. I provide reports at the conclusion of each check-in, also happy to send photos if your pet is comfortable with that.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and love every furry friend like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high energy puppies, senior dogs, and anxious personalities. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that go into caring for them at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust someone, so I always prioritize communication, reliability, and a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks. Being home allows me to give pets consistent attention instead of leaving them alone for long periods. At my home, I have a small fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep a structured, calm environment while still making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I also have three friendly pugs who are well socialized and used to being around other dogs, so your pup will have built-in companionship and playmates (if they enjoy other dogs!). I always introduce dogs slowly and make sure everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact routine including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and house rules to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs.

About: Raised with dogs, obsessed with dogs, and happiest around dogs. I'll give your pup the same love, care, and attention I'd give my own. 🐾❤️ I'm available on select weekdays for short walks or quick drop-in visits during the day. After 5 PM on weekdays, I'm available for longer walks and extended visits. My weekend schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate a variety of needs for your pup! I'm available to take your pup on a short stroll or a long adventure—whatever they prefer! I'm also happy to play fetch, provide plenty of attention, or simply keep them company. 🐾

“Great service! Punctual and friendly, always taking great care of our dog! Goes above and beyond to help ensure my dog receives the best exercise and walk.”

“Camille responded to my request within the hour and was able to come for a first time, last minute, dog walk when the dog walker I had lined up cancelled. Judging by the smile on my pups face in the photos she sent, I’d say she took good care of him. Thank you Camille!”

About: I’ve always loved animals! I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and through Rover, building trust with both pets and their owners. I understand that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, quiet cuddles, or sticking to a specific feeding or medication schedule, I’m attentive, reliable, and genuinely care about your pet’s well-being. All pets I meet are truly treated like family. I strive to create a calm, happy environment so you can feel confident knowing they’re in good hands!! I was in elementary school when I learned to take care of animals as a part of a daily routine. My mother and I took turns waking up early to let the dogs out or walk them around our block. I’m an elementary school teacher, so my schedule follows the school calendar. I’m available on weekends, during school breaks, and have full availability in the summer. I can also be flexible outside of school hours when possible and will always do my best to work around your pet’s needs! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, boundaries, and any specific instructions so everything stays consistent and stress-free. I also believe trust goes both ways, so I want you and your pet to feel completely at ease, and I strive to create a safe, calm, and positive experience for everyone.

About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I believe they are apart of your family and are your children. Last year I watched about 15 dogs at one time back to back for the holidays! They all slept in my bed. I have had dogs in every size from big black labs to small chihuahua. I have watched several dogs that have had to have medication. I have taken care of a pup and put 4 drops in each eye 3 times a day.I have taken care of a sweet pup that was blind so I had to clap for it to get its way around. I absolutely love animals and showing them that they matter. I stay at home with my two children that also love animals so my schedule is always open. I am very flexible for your convenience. If I am away from my home it's mainly in the evenings or to take my kids to appts which varies. I have a fenced-in backyard on Travis AFB that looks out to the hills and trains along with several dog parks around me. I also have a big garage where if it rains they can be played within a big open space as in fetch or tug of war!! I love to send so many pictures and videos to the dog mommy and daddy also, so you won't have to worry about how they are doing! I have two children aged 3 & 1 that adore dogs and are great with them. Our little 8 lb Shih Tzu puppy will also be around, she sleeps in a play yard and is very well with other dogs. My husband also lives in the household but is gone during the day. We love to go on walks and runs every day!!! We LOVE the outdoors.

About: I've taken care of and raised several animals in my life. Everything from cats and small breeds like pugs up to New Foundlands and shepherds. Senior care and puppy training have always been something I enjoy I'm currently working from home so I will always have time to care for your fur babies at anytime regardless if it's day or night I always treat my pets and others pets with love and respect. All toe beans will be in a safe and friendly environment because taking care of animals has always been an obsession

I do have a $5 fee for services requested less than 48 hours before I always allow your pet to establish a connection with me at their own pace, as a new person in their space! They’re comfort is my main concern

“Emily is a spectacular dog walker! Our Cara loved her so much and she always checked in with the Rover card to show us her progress and send pictures. Her love for animals is so clear from the moment you meet her. Will happily book her again!!!”

About: As a current pet store employee, I’m constantly refreshing my knowledge on all animals so that I can better help any pet parents that come in. This includes staying up to date on care and training practices, as well as knowing what products are useful and needed and when they may be needed. I also work closely with the grooming and training team, so I have a bit of knowledge in those areas as well! As a college graduate with a biology degree who’s main focus was on animals of all kind, I take animal care very seriously. I constantly am reading up on care and learning to understand animal body language as best as humanly possible. My animals mean the world to me, and I know others feel the same way about theirs. If theres any way I can assure people their pets and comfortable and safe while they’re away, that’s what I try to do. I am very vigilant while I am watching any type of pet, meaning I’m always making sure they are not getting into anything they shouldn’t, that they are properly restrained when outside of the home, and that they are living in a clean home while I am there. Cats litter boxes scooped daily, dogs walked daily and well engaged in activity, and any other pets properly cared for as well.

“I was very grateful that Lisa was able to spend some time with my dog last minute!”
