About Us

I started my business doing just mid day walks myself and grew it into a professional pet care business with staff. My background is in Nutrition and Exercise and I am very health oriented. I usually take my daily clients for at least a mile walk and average about 10 plus miles a day. I had an opportunity to work for Holly Tree Animal Hospital as a kennel assistant from 2009-2014 and was appreciative of the knowledge they shared with me. It was rewarding and helped me learn so much about pet health and wellness. If you are in the Schenectady area look for our logo or the walkers with the “official dog walker” on their back!

I am retired, married for 43 years, and the mother of two. I have had cats since childhood. I have had 4 dogs. I was a computer programmer and bookkeeper for most of my career My hobbies are gardening, travel, broadway shows, and reading. I now have 1 dog and 2 cats and love nature.

Greetings! I retired from Schenectady County in 2022 after a 30-year career in Child Welfare. I had spent the last 15 years establishing and running the Child Advocacy Center, including coordinating the multidisciplinary team that handles the most serious cases of child abuse. I adopted a Black Lab/German Shepherd puppy and went through Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog training with her, and we utilized her for 10 years at the CAC to reduce trauma for the children. Her name was Ruby and she was well known and loved by all. I have had many pets throughout my life including a Basset Hound, Poodles, Labs, Rabbits and many cats. I currently have 3 cats and a Lab puppy. I have done overnight care for several breeds of dogs, large and small. My love for all animals goes back to my childhood in Charlton and playing on the farms of many of my friends. I tend to be drawn to protecting the vulnerable amongst our population, from senior citizens to children and of course, animals. Working for Pup-e-cise llc has allowed me exposure to so many different animals and their adorable personalities. I look forward to continuing to interact and care for all animals that we serve.

Hi, I’m Claudia! I am an undergraduate student at SUNY Oswego, and have always had a deep love and passion for animals of all kinds! At school, I spend time volunteering at the Oswego Humane Society, where I work with cats to provide them with proper socialization before they find their forever homes. I am fortunate to have always had animals in my life, and trusting friends & family who let me care for their animals as well. I look forward to meeting and spending time with your furry friends!
