About
Hi, I'm Shylia — Hamburg's Dog Walker
Shylia + dog photo — outdoor, candid
I didn't start The Dog Walker WNY because I needed something to fill my schedule. I started it because I genuinely love dogs, I know the South Towns inside and out, and I kept seeing friends and neighbors struggle to find someone they could actually trust with their pets.
There's no shortage of dog walkers on apps. There's a real shortage of ones who show up every time, know your dog's name, notice when something seems off, and text you a photo just because they know it'll make your day.
That's what I do. And I'd love to do it for your dog, too.
What That Means in Practice
- I'm the only one who walks your dog — no substitutes, no last-minute replacements
- I send a photo update after every single visit
- I'm fully insured and bonded (you can ask for proof anytime)
- I'm reachable by text or call — directly, not through a support ticket
- If something seems off with your dog, I'll tell you
Why the South Towns
I live here. I know Eighteen Mile Creek and Woodlawn Beach and the streets of Hamburg and Orchard Park the way you know your own backyard. When I walk your dog, I'm walking them through the neighborhood I know and love. That matters more than it might sound.
Let's set up a meet-and-greet — it's free, it's no pressure, and it's the best way to know if I'm the right fit for your family.
