Dog Walking Lakeside

“Robin was amazing. Easy to communicate with and was able to walk my dogs on very short notice. Definitely will be rebooking her for future dog sitting inquiries.”

Karen O.

“Elaina is one of the best dog walkers I’ve ever had and I have had over a dozen. Very punctual, you can set your watch by her arrival coming and going. Takes her services seriously and seems to be fond of my dog. I wish I had found her earlier.”

About: As a loving cat owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for when you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and gentle with animals, and I want every pet to feel loved and secure. I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and routine, and I will take the time to get to know your pet and follow your care instructions closely. Whether it’s providing companionship, making sure meals and fresh water are taken care of, or giving your pet extra affection, I will treat your furry family member with kindness and respect. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be a priority! I balance work and family life, so I value communication, planning, and reliability. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and arrange visits that fit both your needs and my availability.

Please reach out with your needs, and we can see if we’re a good fit! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. I will take the time to understand your pet’s needs, follow your care instructions carefully, and respect your home and your pet’s routine. I believe in being patient, attentive, and gentle with every animal, while allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace.

My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way!

About: Hi! My name is cade I’ve had a dog most of my life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve also spent a lot of time helping friends and family with their dogs, from walks to full-day care. I’m very active and love getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I treat every dog like my own. I’m available most days of the week and always aim to provide reliable, safe, and loving care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible to meet your dog’s needs. I’m available most days of the week for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I have work on Saturdays, so I’m typically unavailable that day, but with enough advance notice I can sometimes make arrangements. During the week, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent, reliable care, whether it’s daily walks or extended stays I mainly care for pets in their own homes to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I can also board at my home if needed, but I do have a friendly dog, so your pet must be dog-friendly.

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.

“Great caretaker!! Great communication!! Outstanding!”

John and Deb F.

“Thea was the best!! She came right on time and gave Maggie a nice long walk. She seemed so happy in the pictures and our girl even gave her the infamous sad puppy face when she was leaving. That’s how we know she loves Thea!!”

About: With a lifelong passion for animals and decades of hands-on experience with personalized pet care, you can rest assured your pet is in great hands while you are away! I have been a show jumping horse trainer for most of my life, and caring for client’s pets while they were away just fell into place! From horses and dogs to a wide variety of different types of pets, I bring my knowledge, empathy, and commitment to every animal. After years of caring for many “regulars” in Santa Barbara, CA while their owners were away, I recently relocated to Roxbury, CT, where I offer high-quality, attentive care in a safe and serene environment. My property spans over three manicured acres, with more than one acre fully fenced and wired—complete with automatically closing gates—providing a secure, pet-friendly space for dogs to play, explore, and relax under supervision. Whether providing in-home pet care, or hosting animals on my property, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and respect. I look forward to meeting new pets and their owners here in CT! I don’t accept pets from different families at the same time, and when I take on caring for your pet, that is my full time job. My dogs tend to like to run errands with me, when weather permits, so your pet is welcome to join, or they are all also welcome to hang inside my home while I am out. I am never gone for longer than 2 hours at a time, and I am yet to leave my dogs outside in the yard when away with all the wildlife around… I adjust to whatever your pet is most used to when they are in their own home. Fenced in and wire lined 1+ acre grass manicured yard and over two acres of manicured grass outside the fenced yard for those pups once they bond with me and will reliably come when called. Your dog can sleep on my bed or in one of the plush dog beds I have around my home. Each door has an alarm system that sounds when the door is opened, and cameras surrounding the property... I always have eyes even when I am out running errands.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, birds, chickens, fish, and horses since I was little. Anything from feeding to exercise to medical needs I can handle. As I am taking online classes for college as well as commuting from home, my schedule is super open and I’m ready to care for your animals! I have a large fenced in yard with a park right next door for easily accessible walks and exercise. I also have two dogs who are very friendly and love to be around others. I can easily separate if necessary

“Pleasent and good care!”

I’m most available Tuesday through Friday between 11:30 AM and 4:30 PM, which works great for midday walks or drop ins. That said, I’m always happy to discuss and make arrangements that work best for you and your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort always come first. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to make sure they feel secure and loved. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any instructions you provide whether that’s feeding schedules or favorite toys. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.
