Dog Walkers in Haddam, CT

About: I have loved animals my entire life. I currently have 8 dogs and 2 cats of my own and foster frequently. I volunteer yearly at an animal sanctuary in UT. I transport dogs and cats for rescues. I have participated in many dog/puppy training classes and would continue any training programs for you while your baby is in my care. I will dispense medications and follow any medical instructions necessary. I am currently retired and love to hike and walk. I have an open schedule in the mornings and afternoons 7 days a week to care for your fur babies. I’m sure they would love to join me on a walk or hike. I have 8 dog friendly dogs that romp at my 7 acre property. My home is often referred to by friends as “Fran’s Dog Park” as visiting dogs are always welcomed. My two cats have learned to tolerate the dog infestation

“Mary has been awesome. She was quick to respond to a last minute need and super flexible. From the first meet and greet she was fantastic with our nervous pup. Our pup quickly warmed up to her and our stress about the daily need for walks was gone. Mary has a great sense for our girl and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

About: I absolutely love animals!! I will treat your pet as if it was my own baby. I grew up with a dachshund named Ketchup, he was my baby. I had to carry him up and down the stairs. He was a handful, but the best. I currently own two cockapoos Kole and Wallie. They are also a handful, but I love them. Wallie has lot of energy, Kole is pretty chill but so happy. They are old men now- 14 and 12 🙂 I do work full time 8-4:30/5pm. I will be available before and after work for walks or drop bys on my lunch. I have cared for many families pets. I enjoy doing this. I work full time at home. 8-4:30/5. I can do drops in before and after work and lunch time if not booked. I can be flexible. I will treat you pet like my own. I will be caring and loving. I can give snuggles if that’s what they like. Lots of love for your fur babies!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them never feels like work—it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve spent a lot of time with pets and I love getting to know their individual quirks and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup, an older dog, or a cat, I take the time to connect and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I believe pets deserve our full attention and respect, and that’s exactly how I approach every visit. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m here to make that easy for you. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the care they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I do work part time but I’m able plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully available and focused during each visit or walk, and I always allow time for travel, play, and updates to pet parents. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need—no rushing, just quality time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep their pet comfortable and stress-free. I take time to understand feeding schedules, walking routines, and any special instructions so everything stays consistent. I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and loved in their own space—whether that means going for a walk, playing, or simply being a calm presence. At home, I have a dog who I adore. Caring for him daily has taught me how important it is to give pets the attention, structure, and love they need. I make sure he’s well-fed, gets his favorite treats, and always feels included and cared for. That same level of care is what I bring to every pet I look after. Cleanliness and communication are also important to me. I keep things tidy and will always give updates with photos or notes, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I have owned dogs, dog sat, and love spending time with them. I recently worked with a trainer with my own dog, and we successfully navigated flying to, and living in, Mexico. People often comment on how well behaved she is! I've recently moved back to the states and am looking for some additional income. What better way than to spend it with dogs? I grew up in the area and am excited to spend time with dogs in the area. I take the time to learn the dog's routines and expectations of the owner's home. This makes the dog's time with me the most natural that it can be.

About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training. I am a flexible person and am able to modify based on your pets needs.

“Great job! Thank you and they loved their walk”

About: I have worked at a doggie daycare for 4 years and dog sat for many years. I have two dogs of my own! I love all sizes/breeds! I have an open schedule so I have time to be able to spend some time with furry friends! I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and love them all as my own. Comfort, stress free, and loving environments is all I strive for! I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior and can pick up on social cues extremely well.

About: I have loved dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Pets really are a gift and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I can handle a variety of temperaments and special needs. Just ask! Starting June 13th, I will be available weekdays and weekends for drop-in walks and hosting other pups in my fenced-in yard for doggy day care. I have a fenced in yard and two 3 year-old pups who love playtime with other pups. I am able-bodied and happy to go on as long of a walk as your pup requires.

“Kim helped us out on short notice - we will for sure utilize her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs (and horses!) in my life as long as I can remember! My childhood was spent sharing my home with herding breeds, but I’ve always loved large and giant breeds. As an adult, I became passionate about rescuing retired racing greyhounds. Our family currently includes Moon Pie, a retired racing greyhound, and Moose, a rescue Great Dane. I’m a runner and rower and love to be active with my dogs and will often take one of them for a run with me. I’m also a lifelong equestrian and have volunteered for a horse rescue where I fed, walked, and groomed horses. **services provided outside a 10 mile radius require an additional $5/day travel charge** I work from home full time so have a great deal of daytime flexibility. I’m a morning person and willing to do early hours or mid day walks. My weekends are generally busy but with advance notice I am often able to fit you in. Our dogs at home enjoy walks, jogs, and a fenced in yard. We love hikes in the woods and staying active. I’d love to spend some time outdoors with your pet, too!

About: Since I was 5, I have always had pet dogs and was independently caring for them since high school. I have had dogs weighing 6 lbs through 90 lbs, including my current dogs, a rescued pit bull, rescued puggle, and rescued Great Pyrenees mix. I have been caring not only for my own dogs but friends and neighbors dogs as well. I am a teacher on summer break and would love to spend my time playing with pups! I am more than willing to go see dogs where they are most comfortable, or I will take them into my house! All of my dogs get along with other dogs, go to doggy daycare and love snuggles and playtime. I have no predetermined views about specific breeds; if they have fur, a tail, and paws I tend to love them! I also have experience taking care of other animals, like cats, rabbits and guinea pigs.

“Madison was wonderful with Chance! She was super friendly and top-notch about communicating. We would definitely book her again and would recommend her for anyone who wants an awesome person to look after their pet!”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life. My own dog is an Australian Cattle Dog, so I know how to care for an energetic dog with strong opinions! I'm not intimidated by large animals. Right now my schedule has lots of flexibility as I prepare to attend college this fall, so I have time for whatever care your pet needs! I will implement whatever instructions you give me for pet care in your own home, whether it is crating, play time outside, walking, etc. No problem!

About: I have been caring for animals for over 25+ years. I have extensive experience with dogs, equines and goats. I currently own 2 mules, 6 goats and 3 dogs. I have excellent references, dog/cat CPR certified and insured. I currently have daily and weekly pet clients, but have availability to help more pets (all species) and owners. Please contact me to discuss your needs. I offer a wide array of visits depending on the pet and situation. Check-ins, feeding, medications, walking, cleaning, horse handing for vet or farrier. I also offer to bring your dogs or cats to the vet if you are unable to.
