Dog Walking Cove-East Side

“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”

“My fur babies and I LOVE María. She takes her time to get to know my dogs, which was so important to me. And she understands dog body language. Most importantly, she’s gentle, kind, and empathetic towards me and my fur babies.. I’ve already rebooked for another week of walks. Thank you Maria, you’re the best!! :)”

“Aaron is great. He truly cares about animals and their well being. I trust him to come in my home and care for my dog. He understands Sarge's needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a dog walker. He always responds immediately when booking, is punctual and keeps me informed.”

“David was so great and very reliable! He communicated well and we definitely plan to use him again. He takes great photos of the pups as well!”

About: I have cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of different ages and needs. I am dependable, attentive, and passionate about animal care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work from home so I have a lot of free time. Why not spend time with furry friends! It’s also a great opportunity to take a breather and get fresh air during daily dog walks. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure that their daily routines are maintained to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also make sure the home remains clean and secure while providing pets with plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I am attentive to each pet's individual needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environment while their owners are away.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering medications, playtime, overnight care, crate training support, and maintaining regular routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, whether that means high-energy exercise, extra patience with shy pets, or senior pet care. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and providing updates with photos so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets at once and following specific care instructions, including dietary restrictions, medications, and exercise schedules. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and safe environment for every pet I care for. With an open schedule, I'm able to give pets plenty of attention, consistent care, and flexible availability for last minute walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I treat all pets as cherished family members and provide attentive, experienced care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. My experience includes caring for senior pets, diabetic pets, and animals with special needs, ensuring they receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable support. I understand that your pets are treasured members of your family, and I care for them with the same patience, respect, and love I would give my own.

“Amazing thank you so so much! First time using rover so was a little nervous but they did an awesome job with communication and sending pics to let me know my Cody was doing well on his walks :) 10/10 would use again. Thank you!!”

“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”

“Luke is wonderful - always arrives right on time and is enthusiastic. The dogs can’t want for his arrival each day! The dogs wait eagerly by the door and are exhausted when they come home.”

Claire C.

“Great first walk!”

“Chris is the absolute best!! He has walked Baxter so many times and taken care of him overnight at our house. I always know Baxter is in great hands, in the photos he sends Baxter is literally being his happiest self! I would highly recommend Chris for both walks and overnight stays! 💕”

About: I cared for my yorkie for 14 years, who needed special attention and care in his senior years. I would care for your dog as if it were my own. I work remotely 2 days a week in Stamford (the Cove). I have more flexibility on the weekends (Friday-Monday). Contact me and we can see if my schedule works for your needs! I would follow all your instructions and be respectful of your home and pet rules in the home. I would treat your home with the utmost care as a guest.

“Absolutely awesome! Michelle walked our dog on short notice while we were in the hospital for our newborn. She provided so much relief by playing with him and loving on him so much. 10/10”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has had dogs since I was little. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with a companion, I’m happy to provide the attention and care they need. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’ve always had dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I work a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day. On weekends, I’m typically outdoors, going for walks, spending time with family, or relaxing at home, which makes it easy to incorporate extra pet care. I love having dogs around and enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, active, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home, I make sure pets have a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space. I know many pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent, providing companionship, exercise, and lots of love while their owner is away.

“Stephanie is an outstanding care taker for our baby Phoebe. She goes above and beyond to make sure our anxious pup feels comfortable and safe. She pays very close attention to detail and takes care of Phoebe as if she were her own. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I had a dog of my own growing up and was incredibly lucky to be highly involved in all stages of her life. I have also been blessed to watch many other dogs consistently over the years and was able to be with them as they grew old. From crazy energy and intense training, to medication and helping ones who aren't as able. I have experience with young pups and the senior dogs. I am fit and able to walk large dogs, also nurturing and able to soothe those shy ones out there. I appreciate your consideration and hope to meet you and your fur family soon! I am an early bird and willing to come early, typically 6-8am. My days can be flexible but typically on shorter notice. My evenings are usually open! Weekends vary. I am willing to make anything and everything work in advance and short notice! I am happy to care for your pet exactly as instructed by you. For walks and drop-ins I ask that any potential watch-outs are communicated as well as anything that your pet specifically loves! Whatever is best for you and your pet(s) is best for me.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I’ve trained multiple puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have years of experience looking after cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure each pet feels safe and loved. I currently work from home, so I have a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. At the moment, I’m not able to offer boarding, as my own pets may not adjust well to new animals in the home. My approach is calm and understanding. I like to respect each pet’s unique personality and habits. I don’t believe in being overly strict, but I always make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life — four dogs, a cat, hamsters, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals and personalities. Since I was 10 I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs, from quick walks to full days of care while owners were away. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible schedule, so I can offer consistent care — whether it’s a single walk, daily drop-ins, or a longer house sit. I always leave the home exactly as I found it. I’m currently home for the summer with a flexible part-time schedule, so I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I’m generally available afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and can often accommodate short-notice requests as well. I’m not able to host pets at my own home, so I focus on drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting at the owner’s home. When caring for pets in their own environment, I follow the owner’s routines and instructions closely, make sure all doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on the pet at all times to ensure their safety and comfort.

About: My love of dogs led me to start a dog walking business when I was only 10 yrs old. Once I finally convinced my parents to get a dog, I was 15 and we ended up with two bichon-malteses who were the loves of my life. As an adult, my career has me traveling frequently so I haven’t become a pet owner, but I continue to dogsit for friends and neighbors because I love the companionship when I’m home. I am committed to providing your dog a comfortable home away from home where they will be well cared for and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays so can be available for care for a long weekend (Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon). My availability may be limited based on work travel. I live in a dog friendly building, where there is greenery and walking paths around the building for daily walks and enjoy going for longer walks in nearby parks.
