Dog Walkers in Harwinton, CT

“Robin has been fantastic with Franco! She is prompt and communicative, she even let me know when he was suddenly ill and waited with him until I could get home and take him to the vet. She helped socialize him as a puppy and brought him all around the neighborhood. All of my neighbors tell me she’s great with Franco. I highly recommend her services.”

About: Hello savvy dog owners! My name is Robyn. Welcome to our beautiful, peaceful place in the hills. My husband and I have over 15 years of dog handling experience ranging from puppies to seniors. We’ve dealt with all types of issues, illnesses, medical conditions, and even unexpected emergencies. We have a ton of experience with all types of dog breeds, and we have an affinity for "bully" type dogs and less than perfect dogs. We have limited space and small groups that allow us to keep dogs together. We have found that because dogs are extremely social, they tend to cope better with stress when kept together. We have a strong interest and understanding of canine behaviors so we are able to navigate most situations. We also own calm, balanced friendly dogs who can help if you’d like your dogs to learn to socialize during their visit. We have access to a beautiful hiking trail to walk your dog if you wish during their visit as well. We will require a meet and greet before so we can introduce ourselves to your dog(s). This is a mostly cage-free environment. Dogs spend most of their time congregating with plenty of space both indoors and outdoors; however, we can accommodate dogs that get overwhelmed. Puppies and very destructive dogs will be provided and required a crate. Each dog will have their own room to sleep in every night. We will also be offering drop-ins and dog-walking if boarding or dayplay is not what you’re looking for. Drop off and pick up hours are between 7:30am-7:30pm unless other arrangements are made. We are full time, experienced dog handlers who are home all day long to spend time with your pets as needed. Your pup is with us all day long as if they were home with you. We have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and activities for your dog. They have access both inside and outside all day long as needed.

“Kimberly is great! She loves the dogs she cares for and is friendly and enthusiastic!”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, I took animal science in High school and worked in dog related jobs for about 5 years. I currently have five of my own fur babies. 3 pups and 2 cats I currently am out of work for the summer and I have open availability. Late August I will return to work as a preschool teacher and will be available evenings and weekends. I will take care of your dog as if they were my own, following all the requirements that you set up before hand. Giving your dog all my attention and love.

About: I treat every dog like they’re my own, with patience, love, and attention to detail. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach and ability to connect with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I have experience with daily care, walking, playtime, administering medication, and keeping routines consistent, especially important for dogs who need extra reassurance. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior who needs gentler care, I adjust to their needs and always put their comfort and safety first. I’m available Wednesday through Friday as well as Saturday mornings/afternoon. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule outside of those days to meet your needs. I provide attentive and reliable care in your home, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for your pet while you’re away. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to exercise and playtime—to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure your home is secure during visits and treat your space with respect. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me, and I’ll keep you updated regularly so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

About: I live on a farm with lots of animals and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. I love both cats and dogs of every age — from tiny puppies to gentle seniors — and I make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. Your pet will enjoy plenty of room to run, play, and explore, but they will always be under my watchful eye. Safety and comfort come first here. The farm is a calm, natural environment where animals feel relaxed, loved, and at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make sure they have a happy, safe, and fun stay! 🐾 I’m a part-time student and I live at home, which means I have a very flexible schedule. My classes are spaced out, so I’m home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. Taking care of animals is already part of my everyday life on the farm, so your pet naturally fits into my routine. They’ll never be left alone for long periods — I’m either outside with the animals, studying at home, or right nearby where I can keep a close, watchful eye on them. I care for pets in a calm farm environment with plenty of safe outdoor space to explore and play. Pets stay inside our home with me and are treated like part of the family — no kennels unless requested. I keep a close, watchful eye on them at all times, whether we’re inside relaxing or outside getting exercise. We follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible: meal times, walks, play style, treats, and any special needs. I’m used to caring for both high-energy pets and slower senior animals, and I adjust activities to what makes your pet feel happy and secure.

About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work fully remote for both work and school, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. This means I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and bathroom breaks without pets being left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around the pets I care for, whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening routines. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s specific needs and maintain consistency, which I know is especially important for their comfort and wellbeing. I take safety and trust very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I closely follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules. I keep the environment clean, calm, and familiar to reduce stress for the pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to provide frequent supervision, companionship, and timely potty breaks. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and body language and will communicate promptly with owners if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I also ensure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and prioritize safe, controlled walks and interactions.

About: I love being with animals and have experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, jumping sliders, and lizards. I enjoy learning each animal’s personality and making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I am a student who goes to college out of state but is home for the month of January and is also working part time. Since losing a dog of my own I figured this would be a great opportunity to help others with their pets and still have a great time with animals. I do have a fenced in yard if I take dogs into my home but in other peoples homes, listening to the guardian is most important to me on how they coexist with their pet and respecting that. At the end of the day I want to help people care for their pets.

“Melody provided quality care to my Labrador while i was away. She followed directions, provided great updates, and demonstrated exceptional flexibility and was willing to adapt to my schedule. I highly recommend and am excited to rebook with her!”

About: I lost my soul mate, Bailey, on October 18th, 2019. I rescued Bailey from Cocker Spaniel Rescue of New England 7 years ago after losing two other rescued cocker spaniels from the local pound within a month from each other. I was devastated and Bailey rescued me! Losing Bailey, who truly was a one of a kind, reminded me of how deafeningly quiet my house is again without him there, as I have no other pets in my house. I felt something good needed to come of Bailey’s passing. As a result, I decided to honor Bailey’s memory by giving all proceeds I make through Rover for pet care services to animal rescues/shelters to help more dogs in desperate need of care! So...bring on the requests...there are many, many, many animals that need our help! I have volunteered at local animal shelters/rescues and participate in fundraising activities during the year to support these organizations. Throughout the years, I have rescued and cared for several animals with emotional, behavioral and medical issues who had become integral members of my family. I have been a Registered Nurse for 13 years, can handle day to day routines and any emergencies that may arise to provide the best overall care for your pet. I will treat your pet like it is a family member of mine while you are away! I will be the only person caring for your pet so it will get one on one individualized care. Your family member will be in good hands while you are away reducing your stress and anxiety. I know how important that is as a pet owner! I only provide care to one pet at a time in my home unless the pets are within the same family (ie. siblings). Regular updates will be provided via electronic means agreed upon (ie. text, emails, fb msgr). I am really excited to join you in this journey and look forward to working with you and your furry family member! Let’s save lives together!

About: I’ve cared for many different animals throughout my life, including mammals, birds, reptiles/amphibians, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife. I’ve cared for pets of friends and family. I have experience with overnight sitting in the pet’s home. I also have experience caring for senior and special needs animals. I spent 6 months as a volunteer at a vet clinic assisting with exams and surgical procedures, and I am currently exploring career paths in animal sciences and wildlife rehabilitation. I have lots of availability to care for your fur babies! I work part-time as a waitress while exploring different careers in the field of animal behavior and sciences. I have the flexibility to accommodate to your schedule and needs. I can be available on most weekends and holidays. I also accept same-day bookings. I prefer to care for animals in their own home where they feel most comfortable. As well as walking in areas they are familiar with. I always make sure to maintain pet safety in the home such as keeping doors/windows/gates shut and keeping hazardous items and toxic plants out of reach or locked away.

About: Hello friends! My name is Londiwe I'm 19f I recently graduated high school and am excited to embark on a career in pet care. I love both dogs and cats! I'm experienced with taking care of cats, I had a cat for 4 years so i'm familiar with cleaning the litter box, feeding, washing, and playing with cats. As for dogs i'm familiar with them in the sense of being around them through friends/family and I adore dogs. When I was really young i would go to a pet store where you could see or play with puppies and I loved it. I'm aware also with dogs that if I were to pet sit I would have to make sure they're taken care of like: fed, played with, and in their cage whenever the client says they're suppose to be. I also provide unlimited cuddles/pets/love for both dogs and cats. :) I'm currently free to dog walk or petsit any day of the week and if not then I would most certainly let the client know beforehand and try to be flexible with my schedule. The services I offer are dog walking and pet sitting in the clients home. I currently don't have any pets but if I were to, I would feed and play with the dog or cat in question and clean up after any mess they may make and basically treat them as family.

About: I have cared for a variety of animals over the course of the last 10 years. I personally have owned dogs, cats, ducks, and bunnies. When it comes to my care I always put the pet first. I just started my own business so I’m out of the house from 9-10 hours a day. Cat sitting is probably the best fit for my current schedule. I care for all types of pets with different needs. It is important to me that I consider all expectations from the pets parents as I carry out my services.
