Dog Walkers in Hanover, CT

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.

About: Animals have held a special place in my heart my whole life. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 14, working my way up to weekend manager. I also worked as veterinary technician for many years and volunteered in the wildlife clinic. During those years, I pet sat for many clients and was happy to help ease people’s minds while they were away. Now I work with humans in medicine and my (human) children are teenagers. In my home, we have 3 dogs, 2 geckos, a tarantula and a ball python. The only reason we don’t have cats is a family member has severe allergies. I have experience with giving medication, positive reinforcement training, dealing with shy and anxious personalities and an expert snuggler. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to chatting with you! I work full time at a doctors office. I am available from 5pm- 8am. I can visit during my lunch hour on a case by case basis. My weekends are open :) My own home is fenced in but enjoy going for walks too. If a dog requires walks daily, that’s more than okay with me :)

“Vanessa has been so great with our puppy. We 100% recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”

“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

About: I grew up helping run a kennel with my parents. We had, on average, 20 dogs at all times. Helping with the dogs was part of daily living for me. We also participated in showmanship and agility shows. I've had a lot of hands on experience in many facets concerning dog care and a lot of it has stuck with me through the years since I was helping with the dogs at a young age. I am currently in between jobs and hence have plenty of time to love on your babies. I'm going for per diem work so once I am employed, I'll still have time for the true loves of my life. I am a quick learner and flexible so whatever needs to happen for your dog, I can work with or provide. I'm currently providing walks/play dates and at the clients in home care.

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I currently am a student I only have 2 classes a day so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I always follow the ground rules set by the owners. I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with dogs and cats in my family! I grew up with 2 small dogs (10lbs), both living until 15 years old. Our one girl Lilly needed medication for congestive heart failure twice a day everyday for years. We snuck it in with peanut butter…to her it was just a treat! I also have pet sit for my sister who has 2 large dogs (50lbs doodle & 100lbs golden retriever/German Shepard mix), and my aunt who has a German Shepard. I now live with my 2 cats, and 2 other cats of my family (4 total). I love my cats more than anything in the world, and make sure they are as spoiled as can be. I am comfortable taking cats outside on a harness and a leash! That’s how my cats go outside. I am comfortable taking care of dogs and cats, respecting their boundaries, and making sure that they are comfortable around me! I am a freelance makeup artist so most of my work is done on the weekends, leaving the weekdays almost completely open every week. I have plenty of time from morning until night! I have a lot of time for drop in visits, and walks, however because of my home situation with all of my cats, they would not be fond of other animals coming in, and I am too attached to leave my cats at night. I treat every pet that I meet like I am their favorite aunt that spoils them every time she comes over! I like to learn as much about them as possible so that I can respect them, their space, and their boundaries. I am very trusting when it comes to animals and rarely feel unsafe around them. It can be scary letting people into your home and caring for your pets and I understand that 100%, so I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible. I want each pet to have the best quality of life possible, and if I can assist with that I would love to.

About: Current dog mom. I treat my dogs and animals as my kids. I would do the same for any animal put in my care, as I know how hard it is to trust a stranger with your pet. No dog to big or small, I have experience with all breeds and temperments. I can assist with nail trimming, administering medications ect. I offer walking and or running. Familiar with many different dog friendly parks and trails if preferred over the typical road walk. If they enjoy swimming I know many dog friendly spots. If they need a doggy playdate, my pups will gladly welcome in a friend. I am a current night shifter so I have flexible hours and a rotating scheduel. My job allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am always doing something outside or activities with my own dogs which allows me to offer the same care to your pet at the same time. I have a large fenced in backyard. My home sits in a very private secluded area, far from any main roads, noise or traffic. I like to keep your pets in the same routine as if they were home. If they are used to being crated I have crate available. If they are free range through the home my house is already pet proof.

“Anna is great....she has walked my dog a half dozen times now and sends pictures and my pup looks so happy in all of them would strongly recommend!!!!”

About: Dogs have always been my biggest passion in life, I’ve been dogsitting and walking since I graduated from high school in 2015. I love all dogs, no matter the breed or size! I am always elated to be in the presence of a four legged friend. I am a dog trainer, and I’m currently enrolled in a bachelors degree animal care and science program. My life goal is to start and operate an animal sanctuary where animals of all kind can get another chance at life. I am looking for long term or short term clients! I can have dogs at my house as long as they are good with other dogs. I am currently only offering boarding at this time . I live on 4-5 acres of land, with an 87 foot cable lead, and leashes to take walks on the land. I have a kiddie pool set up just for the dogs. I have a 5 year old female Great Dane who loves dogs of all size and shape and loves to play! I also have a younger Great Dane mix from Alabama, her name is Cedar and she’s very shy and usually stays in the bedroom. Both of my dogs know the boundaries of the land and will be a good influence for any visiting dog friends. In the warmer months (May-November) I work full-time at a kennel 45 minutes from my home. I will still be accepting clients during those times, on my days off of course. We currently have an 80+ foot run in the backyard, and we have just under 5 acres of land. We also have access to several trails behind our house!

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who graduated from Becker College in 2021. My passion for animals is my drive. I currently work at a non-profit veterinary clinic with low-income cost options. I truly feel like I am doing a great thing! Because I’ve been a technician for 5 years, medications etc. are no issue! I also have experience with training! I am a veterinary technician who works 4 days a week so I’m always looking for more animals to fill my other three days of downtime with! I choose to make pet care fit, because it’s my passion. I want owners to be able to vacation worry free! I care for pets in clients homes the way I am asked to. For example, if you ask for your dog to be crated, I will make sure that is done before heading out. The same goes for mealtimes and medication times. I work with the dog’s personality in it’s preferred environment.
