Dog Walking in Frog Hollow, Hartford, CT

“We both are very happy with Chastity, Benny is warming up to her even though it's was only second time.”

“Susan is incredibly reliable and we are so lucky to have her for our dog!”

About: I was blessed with a feline friend at the age of 2. Although I do not remember all of our times together, she has been by my side through all of life's up's and down's. We have even experienced the responsibility of sharing our home with 2 more companions: a Maltese and a Chihuahua! It is quite a random pool of different beings! Nevertheless, we all seem to get along. I do all I can to ensure their well being is top notch. You really grow a love for your companion(s) and it's hard to not care for them. I am full time and have no restrictions to my schedule. I am available as early as 6:00am and can accommodate appointments during sundown. I am easy to communicate with and straightforward with negotiations. It is a dogs fantasy: a large neighborhood with quiet streets to explore, 2 nearby parks to frolic and play, with a dog park frequently visited by other furry friends and their owners.

“Yoko is fantastic and took great care of my little guy. She responded promptly. And kept me updated throughout the entire time. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for 10+ years on and off. Done lots of dog-sitting for my in-laws animals, as well as neighbors. My husband and kids have allergies so we can’t have pets in our home, but I love spending time with other peoples’ animals! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of flexibility and would like to fill up my off-time with some dog walks or check ins. I know how important it is to take good care of your pets. It is a priority to me to make sure that I follow any instructions you have to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve.

“Jane was great. She was so patient with Bear and spent time to get to know him before the walk. Bear got along with her right away. She also spent time teaching Bear with commands, he really had a great time with her.”

“I am pleased to write a recommendation for my friend who is applying for the pet sitting position. She possesses remarkable patience and has successfully cared for a variety of animals, including birds, rabbits, cats, and dogs. Her dedication to the well-being of her own pets is truly commendable. Beyond her hands-on experience, her aspiration to own a small farm in the future underscores her genuine passion for animal care. I am confident that her nurturing approach and commitment will make her an excellent fit for the responsibilities of a pet sitter.”

“Thank so much Katie! This was our first time using Rover, and we love that Ramona was quickly so comfortable with Katie, we went out all day and we’re able to enjoy knowing Ramona was in great hands”

“Alexis helped us out big time when we were in a bind for a dog walker! She was flexible and responsive and professional. She was great with our dog and really is a true dog lover/parent. Thank you!”

“Marcea is attentive and caring. She gives descriptive play by play details and photos of her visits...it’s like having a story teller with your pet as the star character. I knew my Bailey was being well cared for while I was away. Thank you, Marcea! I know who I can call the next time I need a dog walker.”

“Alexa took great care of my family’s cat, Peanut, when we went on vacation over the summer. Alexa being there allowed us the flexibility of leaving Peanut at home rather than boarding her when we traveled, which kept her safe and comfortable in her own environment. Would hire again!”

“Eli is a wonderful pet sitter. He’s very responsible and very friendly. He’s an animal lover and truly has a heart for taking good care of your furry kids. He’s attentive and conscientious. I would highly recommend Eli for any of your pet sitting needs.”

“Triba has been taking excellent care of my dog King and I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services. I am always comfortable that my dog and even apartment are in good hands with Triba. I can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and feels deeply responsible for their well-being. My dog feels comfortable with her and responds well to her. Triba is reliable and also flexible. She also is responsive when I check in via phone or text. Every household and every pet is unique I believe Triba is able to adapt her caregiving to accommodate those differences and can adjust comfortably to any situation. -Caroline M.”

“I asked Margaret to walk my dog prior to a future planned overnight booking so she and my dog could become more familiar with each other. Margaret comes across responsible and was responsive to my dog who can be excitable at times. Visit went well.”

“Very patient and kind!”

About: Grew up with four cats for most of my early life, and now I'm the proud pet parent of my own cat and dog. I've fostered a few different times, and collected other caretaking knowledge from my partner of five years. She's been a pet stylist for the better part of 7 years, and throughout that time I've assisted her in bathings, grooming, walking, pet visits, pet sitting, fostering, etc. I'm branching out now to build my own clients and I had you'll consider me. I'm diligent, kind, and thorough, so know that considering me as your pets caretaker, is to consider someone who's a proud pet owner and continuous pet helper. I'm currently assisting my partner of 5 years with her grooming and small business, so my schedule is pretty flexible. My own pets are well cared for and I'm able to juggle both aspects of my life well. Depending on the service depends on the specifics, but generally I take a slow and kind approach to animals that don't know me yet, giving them the chance to come to me first. I'll give them treats and good scratches to build trust, and they quickly grow to like me. I have a fostered German Shepard in my home currently with various issues from abusers in the past and within the first week of constant bacon and ham treats, I earned her trust. Now she looks to me with trust, excitement, and love. That's the kind of experience my animals expect at home and what I expect of your fur babies when I get to meet them myself.

About: I’ve taken care of and lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience with puppies through senior pups with medical needs. Experience with: Crate training Potty training Administering meds I work from home and I am available during the day to support our visitor’s and their needs. Walks and outdoor play on demand. My family’s current routine should not impact our visitor’s stay. I have a large fenced in yard where your dog can get some freedom and exercise. I have a 3 year old toddler so your pup needs to be kid friendly and get along well with other dogs. Our pup recently passed and our family is missing a furry friend in our home. We’d be happy to welcome yours and treat them like part of the family throughout their stay.

About: in the past I have had pet dogs and I am very loving I love dogs I am very kind to them I love the way they are. perfectly depending on the schedules a bit but see, they would be great it's good to experience things in every flexible hour. It’s fine ! I love pets, I would take great care of them because I play with them and I offer my affection and love to them and make their owners feel in the best hands.

“Phenomenal person. Wonderful musicians in my band. Always on time or early, very consistent bookkeeping, help maintain positive team dynamics, always proposed new ideas, locations, and music.”

“Our daughter, Katie, when around age 3 would help with taking care of Holly, our Dalmatian. And as she grew older, she was also responsible for the care of our other pets which included guinea pigs and gerbils. Then when she would babysit for families with dogs, she would care for their dogs as well. She particularly enjoyed a family that raised Shelties because she was able to help out with the puppies. And as a college student, she took care of Ginger, a German Shepherd. She believes that pets are family members who deserve our love and care. And she says that is what inspires her to want to care for them.”
