Dog Walkers in Groton, CT

About: Hi, My name is Melissa! I love animals, I have a golden doodle puppy now and grew up always being around various different animals such as: dogs, cats, reptiles, ducks, and chickens. I am definitely no stranger to pets, both typical and exotic! I have 8 years of experience nannying/babysitting, in which time I would frequently care for the families’ various pets. I run a before and after school program at Gallup Hill Elementary so I am available roughly between 9am-2pm and again after 6pm during the week and have open availability on weekends, this gives me the flexibility to make multiple trips for feeding and walking, as well as some time to interact and play with your pet to get their energy out! Having a puppy of my own, I know that our pets are our babies/children. I take the safety of all children in my care very seriously, whether they have 2 legs or 4, and it’s what I’ve done professionally for the past 8+ years in childcare and teaching. I strive to provide exceptional care and build trust with my clients.

“I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional care my pet received from Ryan. Dependable and accommodating, he went above and beyond to ensure my pet's well-being. I'm absolutely thrilled with Ryan's service and will be a repeat client without a doubt. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch pet care!”

“First and foremost, Tessa has a genuine love and affection for animals. She is incredibly patient and attentive, making sure that any pet feels comfortable and secure in her care. She is a responsible and dedicated young woman who will take the time to get to know your pet's unique personality and routine. Her professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for animals makes a trustworthy caregiver. I can't recommend her enough for anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

About: Lover of all things DOG! Handler/trainer in my profession and very passionate. I have 3 pitbulls at home that I have raised, loved and trained in temperament and manners. I will love your furry family members as I love my own. I can pet sit, pop-in, train, comfort and provide your pet care Monday - Sunday. I request one day’s notice for loca cancellations, but 3 day’s notice for cancellations of services that would require travel. I ask that all of my clients give me clear and concise instructions regarding feedings, medicine and potty schedules as I would want your pet to feel as comfortable as they would be if you’d be home. Their comfort is my #1 priority.

“Katie has always been an animal lover. She sees the best in every animal. During her upbringing she was raised with both dogs and cats and loved each and every one of them. She cares for her pets needs and enjoys walking them. Katie is careful not to overfeed or be too quick handed for pets that are shy or timid.”

“Dana was a huge help last minute. She had great communication, provided updates, and even went the extra mile to check in with a question before leaving. Thanks Dana!”

“Alexis always takes such good care of my dog!!”

“Terry is a great sitter, clearly loves what she does and treats your pet as her own. She’s kind and conscientious and was more than happy to help us out in a tight spot. I’d certainly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter/walker. She’s great.”

“She was great with our coco! Our dog gets stressed out with change and she was able to calm him and they quickly became best friends! 10/10 would recommend.”

“Julia is fantastic with our dog. She is super responsive and I always feel like our dog will get what he needs when we book her. Highly recommend.”

“Melissa is fabulous! She has watched my dog over night in my home and she is so great with him! She has also done drop in walks. She is extremely attentive and caring & she always updates me with photos and texts. During one stay, my dog needed meds and she ensured he got every dose accurately. I almost hate writing this review because I don’t want her to get too busy for us when we need her! She is just the best!”

About: I've taken care of my cat and dog since I was 8. My cat reached the age of 17 and lived the best life. I've boarded over 20 cats who stayed for long period of time in my home and ensured they felt comfortable there. I let them sleep in my bed, and during the day they followed me around the house. They received a ton of attention from me, I can’t resist a cute furry animal! I also boarded over 10 dogs and they got an amazing vacation, just like their owners! I took them to parks, trails, snuggled with them and fed them treats. From March to June, I walked my new best friend Nala, a dog that belongs to my neighbor. I met her in my old neighborhood while both of us were on a walk. I couldn't help but stop and pet Nala, and my neighbor, dog Nala and I became friends. My neighbor mentioned that Nala was home alone twice a week, so I was the first to suggest to watch Nala. Nala had an amazing time, but then I had to move houses, and now I'm far from that lovely neighborhood. The goodbye was hard, but I have left the memories of my neighbor's dog and me laying on the grass and sharing ice cream. I’m looking to make more meaningful connections like that! I spend most of the day at home, and going out to walk the dogs at any time would be wonderful for me and my schedule. The house is big, so your furry baby would have a lot of space. Sleeping on my bed is allowed. If the weather allows, your dog and I will be getting fresh air while sitting in my backyard.

“Thank you!”

“Ali is the best. I don't have a dog but she has helped me by taking care of my goats when I go on vacation. I'd recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting. From the moment you meet her you can tell how much she loves animals. She has had a cat for as long as I have known her and recently rescued a poodle that she adores. She has always been gentle, caring, and patient with any animals she has met.”

“Nadia is without a doubt a caring, intelligent, and trustworthy dog sitter. I would recommend her to my family and closest friends. If you are looking for a kind and thoughtful person to look after your pets, Nadia is that person! Our 4 month old puppy has received incredible training, shown temperament improvements, and finished potty trained under her watch during only short interactions.”

“The only person I trust with our 150lb mini pig who can be a terror! Hamilton is about 7 years old and while very aggressive with new people, he gravitates towards Shannon. I trust her not only with the best and highest care for my 4 legged family member, but also with the care of our home, our most vulnerable place. She has been so respectful, loving, attentive, and quick to respond. I know that I can rely on her when we are away or need a little extra help. There isn't a thing she can't do! No other soul would I want watching my mini pig for 5 days straight... usually Hamilton gets upset with us for leaving for periods of time, but ever since Shannon started watching him he's left the attitude behind. She's magical”

“Julia was wonderful. Super fast communication and my pup loved her. Friendly and very genuine!”
