Maritza has been really great! Goose loves when she comes over and I am glad that my pup gets some attention while I’m at work! She is great at communicating with me whenever there is a change or question! Would definitely recommend her to others :)

Karlena is great, I can tell because the dogs went crazy when they saw her. Karlena is prompt and communicates well. I just moved here, and she is making the dogs feel super comfortable during the day when I'm at work and that is a huge weight off of my shoulder. She is a sweet young lady and I'm glad she wanted to walk Hanry & Jazzy. Thank you Karlena. :)

Kaleigh is awesome! She spent extra time with my shy pup to be sure she felt comfortable and safe. She takes tons of photos - many of my dog smiling :)

About: I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need extra attention. I’ve personally raised two labs to 14 & 15 years and now care for a playful 9-month-old, so I understand the unique needs at every stage of life. I provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care, making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine and loving schedule. I’m flexible and can tailor visits to fit your dog’s needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment during every visit. On walks or drop-ins, I supervise dogs at all times, follow any special instructions, and provide attention, play, and reassurance so your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable.

I just moved Southington. I picked Michael to walk my dog Bella. He has been excellent with taking care of her and making sure everything is done. His customer service is impeccable, he is reliable and he’s super friendly. I’m very comfortable with knowing that he’s taking care of my dog while I’m at work because she’s my favorite thing in the world. I highly recommend him. Thank you Michael!

Michelle is an absolute gem of a dog walker! From the moment she met my Guster, I knew we were in good hands. Her genuine love for animals is clear in everything she does — from the way she greets Gussy with enthusiasm each visit, to the thoughtful updates and photos she sends after every walk. Michelle is dependable, professional, and truly treats Guster like her own. My dog lights up when she sees Michelle, and I have total peace of mind knowing hes being cared for with such kindness and attention. Rain or shine, Michelle always shows up with a smile and ensures my biy gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and love. Finding someone you can trust to care for your animal as you do is no small thing, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Michelle. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and simply amazing with dogs — look no further. Michelle is the best!

About: I have been a pet owner for 15 years. My dogs have ranged from a small mini poodle to a big Airdale terrier. I currently have a 3 year old poodle who is full of energy! I have experience with administering medication as well as any daily caretaking such as feeding, walking, and bathing. I work in New Haven 4 days a week and Middletown one day a week. During the week, I can do drop ins and walks in the evening. I am available to do drop ins and walks on the weekend all day. I always like to meet the pets before I take on a new client. It’s important for me to familiarize myself with the pet both for my and the pet’s sake. I do this by allowing the pet to smell me and by observing behavior to understand temperament.

About: I worked at a doggy daycare so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to handle dogs of varying breeds and temperments and ages! I’m also not a person who’s scared around dogs, just cautious. I work part time sunday monday and tuesday at Fedex so wednesday thursday and friday would fill out the rest of my week hanging out with pets! I love playing with dogs and giving them the attention needed. I can feed them, I’m capable of following instructions, including medical instructions. I don’t have any experience poking pets with needles for medicine, but I can do pills and topical sprays and other things like that!

Jennifer & Michele have been walking our 80# Doberman, Mila, multiple days a week - for the past several weeks. Mila is obsessed with them both & lays by the front door anticipating their arrival. They take her on new adventures all the time - to the local dog park or walking in a new nearby neighborhood. Jennifer & Michele are extremely responsive, reliable & flexible. It's been great getting to know them both & I highly recommend their services!

Nicole is amazing with Cooper! She is very patient, sweet, and understanding of Cooper’s quirks. I can tell Cooper already loves her. Not only is she great with Cooper, but she is fantastic with communicating with me via texts and providing many photos and videos of Cooper during their walks. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone!

We had our German Shepherd Roofus, walked for the first time today, and it went wonderfully! Roofus can be a strong, energetic dog, but Kelly handled him with confidence from the start. She took the time to get to know him, made sure he felt comfortable, and returned with a happy, relaxed pup. We could tell Roofus enjoyed his walk — tail wagging, tongue out, and all smiles. We’re so glad to have found someone so reliable and caring. Highly recommend Kelly!
