Dog Walking Dwight

“Kat has been so amazing! My dog looks forward to seeing her “bff” for their walks and playtime. Kat is very responsive, thorough, kind and dedicated.”

“Eliza was available last minute to watch our 15yo senior Shiba. Aside from being a senior who needs extra time and care, he’s a very special dog with quirks. Within minutes of meeting her and seeing how she approached Musky with patience and kindness, I knew I could trust Eliza with Musky. Will be happy to book another walk with her again!”

About: I have lifelong experience with animal companions, and many years of experience caring for other people’s furry friends! I have experience with special needs animal companions, high needs breeds such as Great Pyrenees and dachshunds, and multi pet households. I am in grad school and very flexible with my time! I am free weekends and all weekdays after 3 pm, as well as most of the day Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I believe that our animal companions experience the full spectrum of emotion and sensation, and I treat our animal friends with as much respect, care and compassion as I do our human ones.

“Jen was absolutely amazing. I was a dunce and forgot I had my old address in my profile and she was gracious enough to come to our actual place to still complete the walk even though she had arrived at my old place already. My dog is reactive to other dogs while on leash and I witnessed first hand how well she handled her while seeing another dog. I’m looking forward to using her services regularly!!”

About: I started dog walking in college, which naturally expanded to sitting. Other than the feeling of getting my degree, taking care of those sweet pets made my experience so pleasant. Community members have trusted me to not only make sure their pets are properly looked after, but that they make a new friend too. Befriending new animals is why I love this job! I have recently completed an MFA in Stage Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale and, now have plenty of time to take pups on walks or do sittings. I'm generally free most afternoons and evenings, with occasional morning availability. I am very attentive to a pet's needs, and will make sure to give them the love they want (and know when to back off if they'd rather be alone). Unfortunately I am not currently offering boarding for furry friends. Before visits/sitting I'd prefer to meet beforehand, to get used to the space and aquainted with the pet's routine.

About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for animals and have lived with pets my whole life. I have experience sitting for cats and dogs. I have experience training puppies and caring for senior cats that require daily medication. I am an artist with a home studio. My schedule is flexible to fit pet care into my routine since I create my own schedule. My home is set up for cats with huge windows for bird watching and cozy beds. I also have sufficient space if needed to create separate spaces for cats.

“Goes above and beyond to take care of our German Shepherd puppy. There was an issue with the key. On us. She went above and beyond. Thank you!”

About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.

About: After years of for-friends & word of mouth dog & catsitting I'm making the jump to pro! I have a relatively open schedule & love to travel..my apartment in New Haven doesn't allow animals so this is how I get pet time in! I work for myself doing mostly gig stuff so am flexible when it comes to timing for potty breaks etc, & am not limited much geographically I've yet to meet a pet I didn't connect w & traveling the world I've learned a healthy respect for other's spaces while staying at their properties

About: Growing up in the rural Midwest, I’m used to caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. For the past 4 years, I’ve consistently sat and walked dogs for bosses, friends, neighbors, and professional contacts - from 6 month old puppies to senior dogs with special care! I currently work remotely, so am able to accommodate your in house needs based on both number of days and frequency of visits. I’m generally available weekdays and weekends, with pickups and drop offs preferred in the mornings and afternoons but happy to accommodate around your scheduling needs I’m very conscientious of how dogs can react to new animals and people, so am happy to adjust care based on your pup’s behavior and comfort levels!

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every pet I care for, making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I am currently in college with a relatively flexible schedule. Most of my classes are in the mid-morning and are no longer than 2–3 hours, which gives me plenty of time throughout the day for pet care. I also play softball, but I can plan my schedule accordingly based on my availability and pet-sitting requests. I am responsible with my time and will make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and time they need. I am currently in college with a relatively flexible schedule.

About: I've raised and cared for several breeds of dogs, large and small for about 20 years. I am a true dog lover and I believe its important to connect with them. I am very attentive to their needs. Body rubs and ear scratches are unlimited. I have experience with special needs pups as well. I do have experience giving medications if needed. I once was a volunteer and foster parent with Yorkie 911 Rescue. I also have experience with very shy dogs and I have extreme patience. My home is quiet during most of the day for those pups who need total relaxation or for those senior pups who just prefers quiet. I also have experience grooming small dogs up to 15 pounds. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and can provide consistent supervision throughout the day. I can structure my day around the dogs’ needs, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, walks, rest periods, and plenty of attention. I am comfortable maintaining a regular schedule and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can also provide additional supervision and care throughout the week based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. My balcony is a clean, secure, and dog-friendly space where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time. It includes a designated potty area, enclosed with strong netting with chicken wire. along with comfortable cots and lounging furniture where dogs can relax, have fresh air and sun bathe, The balcony is located directly outside my home office, where I work, allowing me to keep a close eye on the dogs throughout the day. Dogs are never left unattended on the balcony. I also have cameras throughout the apartment for additional monitoring and pet gates closing off forbidden areas. The space is kept clean, organized, and free of hazards, providing small/medium dogs with a comfortable and secure area to relax, play, and get some fresh air.

“Thank you so much Mai! You helped out and loved on my boy last minute when I was in a pinch! The pics and updates were so much appreciated and helped me to feel some relief of anxiousness of leaving Linus with a stranger! He was happy when I returned so I know he felt cared for! We will be reaching out again!”

About: I've lived with pets (cats and dogs) since I was 12 years old and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Got a big dog that likes to pull? I'm 6' tall, strong, gentle, and patient. People's cats tend to like me even when they're antisocial with strangers. I love to go on walks or hang out and play. I work part time in the evenings so I am typically most available during regular working hours (9-5) but can accommodate requests for evening visits with enough advance notice. I can't board animals at my apartment but I'm happy to visit yours! I have a car and can travel if you'd like me to take your dog for a walk in the woods for extra enrichment.

About: are you in the wider new haven area? do you love your dog very much but have responsibilities of your own? let me help! i've lived with, cared for and been around dogs for most of my life, and i know how unique every pup can be. i love taking a gentle, patient, friendly approach to letting a dog learn to trust me, and i want you to trust me too! just let me know what i can do to help. i have the availability to stop by in the morning, afternoon, and evening, so i am flexible to the needs of you and your dog. i live on structure and organization, so your dog can slide right into my routine! that reliability is very important to me. i really love getting to know animals and their needs just like i would a friend who can tell me using words! i have the energy for pups who need to play and the patience for those who need to warm up to me first. every dog is different, and i let them come to me so they can learn to trust me. the trust of an animal is not something to take lightly! be detailed, let me know how best to make your dog feel cared for and i'll take care of the rest.

About: Great to meet you! I have over 14 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from dogs to cats to snakes, bearded dragons, and even ants (yes I know)... and the list goes on! Ever since I can remember, I've always loved animals (dogs especially). To fulfill my wish to have a pet, I began volunteering at a local animal shelter and would frequently visit just to spend time with some of the animals and give them some love. There, I was able to learn how to better care for our furry friends, both elderly and young. Being able to play with them was just a bonus for me! While your dog is with me they will have access to a big fenced yard to play in and enjoy. If you'd prefer them to stay in their natural environment, that's fine too! Whatever makes them most comfortable, I'm happy to provide. Every pet's needs & wants are different, which I take the time to acknowledge when caring for them. My top priority is making sure your pets are safe, loved, and content while you're away. Feel free to message me if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help! Thanks for considering me! I love to start our mornings off with a nice hike or walk at my nearby beach, typically about 2 miles. The afternoons will do a shorter walk and have some outdoor playtime. Ultimately, our day will be reflective of what your pups specific needs are. Working from home, your pets will get plenty of time and attention in my care! While boarding, they will have access to roam and play about in a fenced in yard under my supervision. Rest assured, I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. Making sure also to give you daily updates so you know your pup is well cared for!

“Emily is amazing! She helped me out and walked the pups in the pinch! My girls loved her from the moment she walked in . Thank you so much Emily!”
