Dog Walkers in Ivoryton, CT

About: I’ve had 2 large golden doodles since I was 14 years old at home, and adopted 2 orange cats on my own last year. I have always loved animals! I have experience helping with friends and family’s dogs in the past, and in the past year have become a cat lover as well! I know how it feels to leave your pets and how important the comfort with a sitter is. I want to ensure you feel that same comfort and know your pets are well taken care of with me! 🩵 I am working full time, but remotely 3/5 days of the week. I have great flexibility to care for your pets during the week or weekends! I live on a very busy street with a small yard, so I would be more than happy to walk/play with your pets in an outside area or your home!

About: I have loved animals my entire life. I currently have 9 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

About: I’ve grown up as a daughter of an Animal Control Officer and taken care of pets for all of my life. I am happy to provide love and care to any pet that comes my way:) I’m am working part time as a gas-attendant at a marina…I just need a little bit of a heads up and then I can set time aside for you. Sometimes I have petsitted for clients who like crating their pets while others like fencing a yard and leaving them outside. I am able to do anything the client needs.

“Katherine is incredible! She communicates every detail and gives us great updates after each walk! The pictures she provides of our Grace makes our day while we are at work ! Our dog loves her walks with her. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! My name is Sam and dogs have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, and have always had a hand in caring for my family's pets. Within the last year I have had the opportunity to help whelp two litters of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I love getting to know new dogs and cats, and have been known to leave my table at a restaurant to pet a dog I see through the window. I am the person at the party seeking out the pets so I can talk to them, rather than talk to the humans! I attend obedience classes with my own dogs weekly, and will be attending handling classes soon as well. Nothing brightens my day like being greeted by a dog, and getting to take care of them. We currently have three dogs and three cats in our home. Nothing is more important to me than your animal's comfort and safety.

About: Greetings! I have grown up with dogs all my life and love the bond shared with each pet I interact with. I have cared for a variety of different breeds and types of pets and dogs. I am an energetic and caring dog lover that takes pride in every animal that crosses my path. I am very reliable and have a flexible schedule. I pride myself on being responsible and professional. When interacting with your furry friends l'll be sure to give the love and care they deserve and you expect! I am currently a student with flexible work schedules as I am working mainly at home for right now. I am able to work most of the week/weekends during a variety of times. I am very reliable, and make your pet and you a priority! I pride myself on being responsible and professional. I treat every pet and home like it was my own and always maintain a certain level of respect and trust for anyone’s home or pet. When interacting with your furry friends I’ll be sure to give the love and care they deserve and you expect!

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my hands-on experience and deep understanding of canine care. I’ve worked in a professional kennel, which gave me valuable insight into dog behavior, health, and daily routines. At home, I care for my own large German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable handling big, high-energy breeds. I’ve also regularly watched my sister’s dog and other dogs, both short-term and for extended stays, so I know how to create a safe, comfortable environment that feels like home. My combination of professional and personal experience means your dog will be treated like family—with structure, love, and attention tailored to their needs. After working with animals and having my own dog I wanted to incorporate that into my life, so I have plenty of time to hang out and take care of your puppies. I am available throughout the day and would love to spend time with your loved ones! I have a very friendly German shepherd at home, who you are more than welcome to meet, and I walk him multiple times throughout the day and your dog will be able to join us. I also have a crate if you want your dog to be in the crate I also have the ability to do that.

About: I have a depth and variety of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where I handled multiple dogs at once in group settings, giving me valuable experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’m very familiar with reading canine body language and making sure play stays safe and respectful. I’ve also cared for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting my care to their unique needs—whether it’s helping with early training for a new pup or making sure an older dog is comfortable and supported throughout the day. On top of that, I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, which has taught me to be attentive, patient, and genuinely connected to each dog I spend time with. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. My schedule is currently very flexible and accommodating, which allows me to take on regular walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting as needed. I truly enjoy spending my time with your furry friends, so fitting pet care into my day feels natural and fulfilling, whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. I only offer care in my client’s home, and I always do my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any specific needs they may have. Whether it’s feedings, walks, playtime, or medications, I follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the utmost respect and care.

“Vincent was wonderful with my pups! He responded quickly to my request and the girls loved him. He is very in-tune with the pups. Thank you Vincent!”

About: I have over 15 years of pet-care experience. I've had many pets of my own- including dogs, cats, a bunny and a fish- but I also babysit for families with multiple dogs, which often requires I feed, play with and give potty breaks for the pets. I just genuinely love spending time with animals! I am currently in college part time (two days a week, until summer when I'll have no classes), and I babysit here and there, but I'm looking for more work during the weekdays. Preferably between 8am and 2:30pm. I can follow any guidelines you give me for caring for your pet. I know pet playtime is important, especially for working pet owners, so I will always show up with energy, but I also understand that some pets need a more calm presence, so I can be flexible and adapt to your pet as needed.

“Samantha was very prompt and thorough with her communication. She was great with our dog and gave updates when she arrived and provided a picture too!”

About: I've taken care of many dogs and have had my owns dogs and cats. I have great patience with animals and have trained several dogs. I have a 9-5 job but am free most of the other times. If you are near Essex I can leave work and take dogs out midday as well. I love playing with cats and dogs and keeping them entertained as well as exercised. I can walk your dog for miles if that is what they like.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life typically at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at one time. I am a natural animal lover and caretaker. I trained corgis for almost 10 years. I now have two cats and a dog of my own. I usually pet sit for friends or for my parents who have 3 dogs, 3 cats including a senior dog. I've established my own clients weekly and on an as needed basis. I am open to all types of pets and needs. I work from home so I am pretty flexible during the week with my days. I will always take my work schedule into account before accepting anything. If in need of dog boarding, your dog would have to listen well to be in our unfenced yard (i would leash or put them on the long line) and they would have to be ok with cats. If I were to go to your home, I understand this is a super personal space and a bit nerve wracking having someone there, trust me I feel the same when I have someone take care of my pets! I will treat your space with respect and make sure to follow your instructions.

“Great job! Thanks again!”

“I was so grateful to find Allie and can’t wait to use her in the future. I don’t have animals but my parents and in laws do who we watch often. It was so nice to have peace of mind while I’m at work that they were taken care of. Allie came over to do a meet and greet before hand and the dogs immediately felt comfortable and loved her. She is responsible, caring, and a total animal lover. I can’t wait to use her in the future and will definitely recommend her to everyone I know!”
