Dog Walking Hamden

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was 13 years old for neighbors, family members, and coworkers. Even after being at my work for a few weeks, my coworkers trusted me to stay at their homes for a week at a time watching their dogs. During these times I would walk, feed, and bathe their dogs. I have a flexible schedule that makes it easy to fit pet care into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. On weekends, I’m generally very flexible and can dedicate plenty of time to making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. I live near Central Park and the west side highway as well as other dog friendly area. II always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. My home is kept very clean and tidy, with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable and safe. I’m also happy to send photos and updates along the way!

About: Animal lover here that will treat your pups as if they were my very own--with lots of love, care and cuddles! My name is Biby and I grew up with animals in my family home so there has never been a time when I didn't own and care for a pet--dogs, fish, cats, rabbits, and even a bird! I hope you will consider me when searching for that perfect place. I work full-time during the week but I can work from home a couple days out of the week if need be. I would be honored and excited to care for your family member. I look forward to hearing from you soon and getting to know more about your pup! I primarily work from home throughout the week, but even during my home office hours, I often enjoy taking breaks to engage in playtime or go for walks with furry companions. I reside in an apartment and maintain a high level of organization and cleanliness. I'm delighted to offer dog care services either at your home, providing your pet with familiarity and comfort.

“Kim has been an incredible Dog Walker for us and our pooch, Rory! She's beyond helpful, punctual, and on the rare occasion has provided us important feedback when our dog has been less than cooperative. She's incredibly kind and not only does our dog love Kim, but Kim loves our dog as well. She gives her a great workout every time we use her and in a pinch when we've needed more help, Kim has been there every time to help us out! She's been a Godsend!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I also have experience caring for dogs while babysitting for families, including feeding them, taking them outside, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I’m responsible, dependable, and would love the opportunity to help care for your dog like they’re my own! I’m currently a graduate student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of openings between my classes. This gives me a lot of availability throughout the week, and I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s normal routine! I always want pets to feel safe and comfortable around me. I allow each animal to move at their own pace when getting to know me and give them the time and space they need to build trust. I never force interactions and will always respect your pet’s boundaries while making sure they feel cared for and loved.

“Melissa has been great and really saved me yesterday when another walked cancelled on super short notice! Super reliable and great with my dog!”

About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.

“Happy Fourth of July Kelly thanks for all you do”
