Dog Walking Ashford

“Ermelinda is truly amazing. Our skittish dog warmed up to her after the very first walk. The care instructions for our dog, Bella, was a laundry list and Ermelinda followed them to the letter. Your dogs will be in great hands with her. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I have taken care of family/friends dogs for over 13 years. I have done drop in visits, over night stays and just dog walking. I have worked with all different breeds, sizes and ages! I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. Whether that means reinforcing house-training and basic commands with a puppy, administering medications to a senior pet, or simply providing plenty of exercise and companionship, I tailor my care to each animal's needs. I love taking pictures of our furry friends so ill always be sure to keep you updated when im with them! I'm currently working full time but I can always do drop in visits and dog walking after work hours during the week and on weekends my availability is pretty much wide open on Saturdays and Sundays (typically when I take my own pet for adventures so if you have a busy dog who loves walks/hiking im your girl) We have an open yard, our own pup is well trained on her boundaries however for any pets not my own they stay on a 20 foot long line and walked around the property. Inside they are free to roam the house, however if needed crates are available for use. If ever unattended dogs will always be in a crate for their safety.

About: Hi! My name is Mopelola, but I exclusively go by Jade! I have always loved animals and although I no longer have any of my own, I have a lot of experience in keeping them happy and enriched ! I am a student but all my classes are online this semester and so I am more than happy and available to watch pooches and kitties! (: I follow any and all instructions given to me by the owner in regard to dieting and safety restrictions etc. It’s important to keep pets and property safe.

About: I’ve worked with various types of pets, providing reliable care for dogs and cats. I have extensive experience pet-sitting for friends and neighbors, many of whom have repeatedly entrusted me with their beloved companions. My commitment to attentive and compassionate care ensures that pets feel comfortable and well-cared for in their owners’ absence. Pet care is an essential part of my routine. I have everything a pet owner needs—except for a pet of my own. Whenever I have someone else’s pet in my care, I always prioritize their schedule over my own. I care for every pet equally and with diligence. I treat each one as my own and provide everything I can to ensure their happiness.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and always treat them like family. I genuinely care for my neighborhood’s dogs and have provided overnight care, daily walks, and more. I always take the time to get to know owners first to build trust and understand their dog’s specific needs. With experience in basic training, giving medication, and reading animal behavior, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to continue gaining experience, always happy to share updates so you feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My schedule is super flexible, making it easy to fit long walks and drop-in visits right into my daily routine! I love ensuring your pets get plenty of exercise and attention during the week, with extra availability on weekends. As a fun bonus, I absolutely love taking pictures of my pet clients—I'm told I take great photos, so you can expect plenty of adorable updates! Because my routine is so adaptable, I have great availability to give your furry friends the best care whenever you need a hand! I care for pets at their home by creating a safe and comfortable environment. For dogs, I ensure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they’re fed according to their schedule and provide any necessary companionship while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean space, like washing bowls and keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. My goal is to keep pets feeling secure and loved in their own home, ensuring their routine stays consistent while you’re gone.

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I have experience with senior dogs & cats. I have experience also administrating insulin to older dogs & other willing animals. I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

About: I have been working with animals for many years. I have done lots of overnight pet sitting, walking, and dealing with medical needs. I have always had a passion for animals of all sizes.

I am currently in school during the mornings, but am free all afternoons to play with your pups! I am available for overnights and fully available on weekends! I currently have one dog. I do have a large fenced in yard which provides a great space for animals to run around and play in. I live in a super clean household that does not have any hazards towards animals. My dog is part of the family and is allowed on all furniture as well as beds.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I work part time during my summer so I can focus on the pets I am hired to take care of. During the school year I do have some longer days so only certain days I can take care of dogs that require less than 4 hrs of alone time. I always follow the ground rules set by the owners. I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I helped take care of my first dog when he was a senior, and I’ve been taking care of the dog I have now since he was a puppy he’s now 10. I also have 3 years of experience taking care of cats, I have one of my own and I help take care of my sisters.

I am available monday - sunday at all hours of the day for whatever your pet needs. This is currently my only job and it has my full attention. I will not be able to provide boarding in my home because my dog does not get along well with other dogs, but I am available to stop in and see your pets whenever needed to feed them, take them outside, walk them, and just to play with them. I can also do overnight stays if that is what your pet requires.

“Karinna was awesome with the dogs. Both dogs loved her and her dog that took walks with them everyday. I would highly recommend her and use her on future vacations.”

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: I decided to try letting a husky pull me on roller blades 27 years ago, and a bond was created that I am convinced was the greatest thing ever. I became an aspiring writer and began researching dogs, playing with them and loving them all the same. I understood that some people just had that dog thing, but I wanted to know why. Still working on my writing, and still researching, I started roller blading around Webster lake with a rescue puppy this past year. I remembered the incredible joys that a dog would have discovering the freedom, and it's really incredible. I don't claim to be a dog whisperer, but I have learned from studying dog behaviors and personalities. Honey has been incredible this season. Some dogs would rather just sniff, and it's arguably the most incredible of dog traits. Sometimes finding the space to run can be a challenge, but even just on a walk, it's all about giving them the chance to choose when you can. I have been an educator as a substitute and a paraprofessional, and enjoyed 20 years with a number of schools and institutions. Coaching tennis, track, and rock climbing, I love giving new experiences. As director for an adventure camp or as recreation games coordinator, I was able to incorporate a team into all the fun. Relying on the service industry for work, I have developed my communication skills in many fields. 3 years working for the May Institute with adults with severe disabilities gained me a humility not found elsewhere. In the Healthcare industry I found incredible individuals who just fit their calling, and you were better for being around them. The last 2 years I have traveled the state as a licensed pest technician solving homeowner problems, and keeping people safe. I enjoyed being a source of information, and health, and was careful to appreciate coming into someone's home and life. I'm currently planning on returning to school to attain my message therapy certification and utilize my background in health. It's a good plan with modification, and I am hopeful that Amazon flexibility will help. I'm the kind of person who starts with a smile, and believes that kindness is always an option. I understand that taking care of your animals and home is a sacred thing, and I will remain transparent and available. I'm currently working for Amazon, Sunday through Wednesday, and have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely free for services. Additionally I can be available for any other days with proper notice, due to Amazon's flexibility with their scheduling. Our yard is fenced in, and our two rescue dogs enjoy their space very much playing and running around. Our 16 year old cat enjoys being an inside/outside cat very much, and has adapted to our precocious new additions. Our back door is opened frequently.

About: I grew up with dogs my entire childhood so I am very good with dogs and knowing how to care for them. I would walk our family dog and take him to the park and I was always very excited to do so. I’m currently attending college and I care for dogs and cats as a fun job when I’m not studying. My weekends are pretty much completely open for dog sitting, walking, feeding and whatever else your dog needs. I will care for your pets with love and affection. I will make sure they are well taken care of when they are with me. Whatever you need me to do for your pet I will make sure to do. I want them to be happy and comfortable in my care. I currently go to CT state college so I am busy 4 mornings out of the week, but it’s not all morning and nights I am almost always free. Also, I am free all day Saturday and Sunday to care for your pets. I live in a house so I have a lot of room for your pets to play. And if I am in your home I am very respectful of your house, animals and belongings and will treat it with the same care as I do for my own.

About: I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, birds, rodents and reptiles. I have experience with bottle feeding kittens and training puppies. I am comfortable with administering medications. I am available to run, walk and hike with dogs. I am an independent contractor so extremely flexible with scheduling. I am available early morning, afternoon, evenings and overnight. I am also available on weekends. I am more than happy to schedule a free meet and greet in clients home, prior to first visit or overnight stays. It is extremely important for your pet to be comfortable with me in their home!.

“Phoebe was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she works with. She kept me updated with great notes and pictures, and I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of every step of the way. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust, and Phoebe exceeded expectations. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
