About: While growing up on a farm, I learned to care for and train a variety of dog breeds; everything from high-energy corgis to slow moving bloodhounds! This includes care for all pet ages (puppy-senior). I particularly like to bring dogs to local dog parks, and run or walk with them. I am training for a marathon so I am ready to run with high-energy dogs as needed! Additionally, as a part-time student I have a flexible schedule to fit your needs. As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule to take care of your pets. I am typically available all day from Thursday night - Tuesday mornings. I like to bring dogs to local dog parks, and run or walk with them to ensure they get the exercise and outdoor time they need. I am willing to take dogs on longer outdoor hikes or runs for the more high-energy breeds. In my home, they will have constant access to food and water and are always supervised. My phone will always be available for phone calls, texts or facetimes!
14. Melanie M.
About: A Northwest CT native, I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Our household believed in giving a home to rescue dogs and training them so they could feel safe and stable in our home. And as a passionate Social Worker, I'm ready to foster my empathy and compassion to provide your pet a supportive environment too, so they can be their best self for you, their owner! While I live in an apartment and cannot own a pet at the moment, I look forward to the opportunity to spend time again with animals and help out my community by being a committed dog walker/sitter. As you can see by my photos, dogs have joined me walking, hiking, backpacking, swimming, and even trail running! I'm a very active individual so if you have a high-energy dog who needs more activity, please let me know and we can work something out. I'm currently a full-time student in New Haven, so I have flexibility and can easily travel or stay in nearby areas. During the fall semester, I will be out of the house and in New Haven during the day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for 8 hours at a time (9am-5pm). When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I would like to gain as much understanding about the routines your pets have in your home, your training, and learn more about their personality, so I can best support them while you're away.

17. Samantha T.
“Samantha is great with dogs and I would highly recommend her! She has interacted with both of my dogs on numerous occasions. I trust her to be an excellent caretaker and dog handler. If you are looking for a trustworthy caretaker for your pet, I highly recommend her!”
