Dog Walkers in Youngs, NY

About: I have over 7 years of hands-on animal care experience, including running my own dog walking business for 2 years and ongoing work in farm animal rescue. I had two dogs of my own for over 15 years and have cared for many rescue dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and especially comfortable with shy, nervous, or high-energy dogs. I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while they’re in my care. I do have cats in my home, so dogs staying with me should be cat-friendly. References are available upon request. “Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work part-time overnight, which means I’m home and available throughout the day for walks, supervision, and consistent care. I also run a nonprofit animal rescue from my home, so caring for animals is something I’m actively doing every day. My routine is built around feeding schedules, exercise, cleaning, and making sure each animal gets individual attention. Because of this, I’m very used to managing different needs while keeping a calm, structured environment.” depends on each pet’s routine and comfort level, but I always aim to keep things as consistent and low-stress as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, structured environment with regular feeding schedules, exercise, and plenty of supervision throughout the day. Dogs get daily walks, enrichment, and individual attention. I take introductions slowly and make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed—while also keeping your home clean and respected. I pay attention to behavior and body language and adjust care based on what each pet needs. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or staying in theirs

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from cats & dogs to fluffy chinchillas! I have special experience working with powerful breeds, including retired and aspiring K9s, as well as senior & special needs pets. My home comes equipped with accessiblity tools like pet stairs & ramps suitable for even larger dogs. Our quarter acre is unfenced, but we do have a small enclosed area off the porch & several long leads to enjoy more of the grassy lawn. Safety is paramount. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specialized diets, & assisting with mobility issues. I’m an experienced pet parent who just said goodbye to my 17 year old rescue pitbull; I’d like to open my now-too-quiet home to your beloved family members. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ friendly ❤️ I’m a professional writer who works exclusively from home. My flexible schedule allows me to cater to any specific needs, take all the potty breaks, and ensure both enriching play & restorative snuggles. And treats, of course! I have a fenced potty area off my porch for easy quick breaks, and several long leads for exploring the unfenced portions of the property. My senior dog recently passed away but she left soft beds in every room, jars of treats, and a big basket of toys I know she’d love to share.

About: A long time dog owner myself I am looking to walk and care for dogs as a side job. I love bonding and having fun with animals. I like to be very attentive to their needs, wellbeing, and happiness. I have completed 3 years of an animals science BS degree before I could no longer continue due to medical issues, but plan to return soon! I have grown up with animals, especially dogs, and have handled, walked, groomed, trained, and cared for many more. I love to teach them how to have fun. We currently have a dog in our household, her name is Gracie-Mae and she is a dachshund. I also own a ferret myself. I’m really excited to be able to work with you and your furry children. I plan on working another job while having this one be part-time. I will be available on weekends so far for my services. I may work other days depending on my availability. I can only come to your home, but I am available for a wide range of services. I can play, brush, clip nails, walk, bathe, give meds, watch, feed and water, and clean ears. I also will look after cats with similar services.

About: I have senior dog experience and puppy patience. Animals of all types are my preferred friends. I'm an expert at cat and dog kisses. I love to be able to help families with their furry children's needs. In the winter up until April I'm available all day everyday. A few days notice is all I need to help you have someone safe to care for your pets. On my available days i can stop in at anytime of the day for walks or whatever else is needed. I'm here to make your animals safe and happy.

“Colleen is super nice, reliable and communicative! I don't just trust anyway with my dog, Pax, and I trust her completely. Colleen has been willing to accommodate my somewhat irregular schedule, and I appreciate her flexibility.”
