Dog Walking Canterbury

“Jeanette is awesome! She came before her first walk to meet us and was very nice. She was on time and sent us pictures of our pup. We are excited for her to come back this week!”

“Olivia is a genuine animal lover. Her passion and love for animals is evident the moment you meet her. Our Archie loved her too! She is incredibly responsive and responsible. We would definitely book her services again.”

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

About: I bring a naturally calm, grounded presence into every home I enter. Pets are incredibly intuitive, and I prioritize creating a peaceful, steady environment where they feel safe and secure. Whether your dog is anxious, high-energy, or just needs consistency, I focus on maintaining a structured routine with patience and gentle guidance. My goal is for your pet to feel relaxed and comfortable, and for you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in stable, attentive hands. I’m currently in school and have a lot of time in between classes! I have tons of times to take care of your best friends! When pets stay in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured environment with consistent routines to help them settle in smoothly. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and supervised play, and I always monitor pets while outside. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers a crate for rest, I can easily accommodate that to maintain their normal routine. My goal is to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease while you’re away.

“Allie took great care of Harley while my husband and I were on vacation last week. This was the longest we had been away from her and knowing that she was so well cared for was such a relief. The pictures were great! Will definitely book Allie again! 🐶😊”

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

About: I’ve volunteered on and off since I was eight working with cats and dogs! I’ve always had a bond with them and I love working with them. Over covid my mom and I decided to start fostering so I was able to really get a first hand experience with having a dog live with us. All of them required different needs and TLC so I feel like I have lots of experience with working with all animals with different backgrounds. I also have a cat and a dog of my own! The last couple of pictures is Marshmallow, my high school science teacher’s pet bird that bonded with me! Now I go in every April and take care of her when he brings her in. I love all animals from walking to flying! I work part-time right now and I have availability any time Saturday and Sunday. During the week I’m available after 5:30! I get my schedule every Sunday so I can be super transparent to you about what my schedule looks like! I walk my dog 2-3 times a day. When I’m not at school I make sure to feed her at her dinner time and take her on her after dinner walks. With my cat, I make sure he’s well fed and happy and clean his litter box at least once a day. I have lots of experience with variations of personalities in cats and dogs and would treat your pet as if it was my own. To make sure your pet receives the ultimate treatment, I would want to make sure I know their needs and may ask for a list of the things he/she needs. I cant wait to look forward to meeting them!

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, goats, and cows for more than 20 years. I am known for spoiling pets a bit, and providing them with the attention they crave. I am available daytime and overnights! My schedule is flexible and will allow me to provide your pet with the the care and attention they deserve. I like to ensure an safe and caring environment for pets. I follow care instructions carefully and respect client's wishes. Your pet will be well-loved. My typical schedule is fairly flexible when I am not already booked, especially with advance notice. Please do not hesitate to ask me about availability! I like to be aware of how your pet usually behaves in your home, and what their typical weekday and weekend day is like. I want your pet to be as comfortable and feel that their environment is as "normal" as possible.

About: I've cared for cats, dogs, mini ponies, horses, chickens, cows, mini pigs, pot-bellied pigs, and tortoises after living on a working ranch with a wide range of animals. There isn’t a fur baby too small or too big that I can’t handle. I have an open schedule and can work with any routines. I can be up early or out late. And I can keep to any personal schedule your fur babies have. I have indoor kennels and outdoor kennels, multiple leashes and harnesses, and a large property to run around on. My house is extremely pet-friendly; snuggles on the couch are encouraged!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over five years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 4 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!

About: I have years of experience taking care of pets, both professionally and at home. I am a former dog groomer, so I understand dog and cat behavior and know how to keep them feeling safe and comfortable! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your furry family members. I currently have open availability to take care of your pets in the comfort of your home. I would love to go on walks with your dogs, and even offer in home bathing and grooming services for an additional charge. I will be sure to keep your pets safe and happy during our visits, playtime, and walks. I would love to send you updates throughout our times together if you'd prefer!

About: I've grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. As a teenager I fostered dogs of all ages and sizes with my mother, from litters of puppies to energetic rascals to oldies slowing down. Since I was a baby my house always had at least one cat, sometimes up to 5 at a time, and our house was where the neighborhood knew to bring any cats that were found needing help. I have had cats with special needs, and three big black shelter lab mixes. As an adult I have developed a hobby interest in dog training, and I know how much structure, clear communication, and strong leadership can help put a dog at ease and keep them safe. I love all animals and volunteered for 4 years in wildlife rehabilitation. I also offer pet portraits! When we do a meet and greet, I can show you some physical samples of my work. You can also check out my photo gallery for some photos of the pet portraits! I'm moving back to Rhode Island and taking on small jobs as I establish my schedule and routine, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for immediate requests! I have my own car, so I can easily come to your home for home stay, drop-ins, and walks! My family dogs were crate trained, so I understand routines of crating, feeding, taking out, etc. I am also comfortable with different types of leads, such as harnesses, gentle leads, prong collars, and soft and hard muzzles. I have also taken care of dogs who have specialty needs, such as indoor litter boxes, doggy diapers, and specialty diets. I have administered oral medication, in both pill and liquid form, to both cats and dogs.

About: I have always loved dogs. I am the one my friends always relied on to watch their dog when they went away. I can’t inagine a world without dogs. I have a huge english black lab and a small terrier. I get along with all dogs big amd small. I have references. I am reliable and experienced. I would do anything to make sure your dog is safe and happy. Dog kisses are the best. I have great instincts with dogs and am not afraid of any dog. Respect and empathy is what I am about when it comes to animals and humans. I look forward to meeting you and your dog. The famiky member that you cherish. Thank you very much. See you soon. I work at an elementary school so I can watch fur babies evenings and weekends and holidays. Summers are totally open for any play dates. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around with my German Shephard who loves to play and make new friends.

“This was our second time having Gary help us out, and he even accommodated a same-day request! He’s reliable and communicates well. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in good hands. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend him!”

“Heath was great with Jasper! Jasper warmed up very quickly and clearly enjoyed his walk. I received lots of pictures and a detailed description of the walk. We will definitely use Heath in the future!”

Rebecca B.

“Shannon is always great with our wild girl. Thank you for accepting a last minute booking!”

“Bittersweet - Emma was super sweet and we wish her the best building her business. It wasn't a good fit for our family - she minimized feedback offered about dog care-related decision making (based in valid and evidence based concerns about safety). Immediately after the first walk and subsequent discussion, she declined to work with us further. We are bummed, because our pup connected with her quickly.”

About: Hi, I’m Sophia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I understand that pets aren’t just pets—they’re family. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every furry friend in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. What makes me different is the balance of professional reliability and genuine care. I provide consistent communication with pet parents, lots of photo updates, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I’m experienced with puppies/senior dogs/cat, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority. Whether you need walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your furry friend is cared for with patience, attention, and plenty of love. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I work from home/have a flexible schedule. I’m able to provide frequent walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day, making sure pets never feel lonely. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine closely to make sure everything feels familiar and stress-free. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions, while also giving lots of playtime and affection. I always keep the home tidy and send updates with photos so owners feel reassured. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and part of my daily routine. That means regular walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and a cozy space to relax. I keep their routines consistent so they feel right at home.
