Dog Walking Madison Center

“We booked Vincent for our dog Bella. He is even better than his countless reviews. He is professional and kind. He immediately bonded with our large rescue dog Bella. She usually takes more time to trust new visitors. Vincent is clearly experienced and naturally gifted with dogs. I strongly recommend him and we will book again in the future. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love being around animals. I’ve also worked as a dog and cat sitter, helping with walks, feeding, drop-ins, and overnights. I’m very reliable and pay attention to the little details so your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, can help with basic puppy training, and am comfortable giving medications if needed. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always try to make it a fun, positive experience, whether that’s a good walk, playtime, or just extra cuddles. I have a flexible work schedule and am able to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and some overnights (around my kids schedules), and make sure pets are cared for on a consistent schedule. I’m reliable and always plan ahead so your pet gets the attention and routine they’re used to. I always follow the owner's instructions closely, make sure collars/leashes are secure, and pay attention to any specific needs or behaviors. I’ll also keep you updated so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks I always pay attention to my surroundings to keep your dog safe. I'm not there to pay attention to your beloved dog, not get distractes by my phone or anything else.

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life, but started caring for them on my own since I was 10 years old. As I got older, I was around cats more and more, and now I have a great love for both pets!! My experience includes walks, potty breaks, playtime, overnighting with pets, senior care, and caring for high energy dogs. I often work on the weekends and Wednesday nights, but like to stay busy during the week. Staying busy mostly means being active and running errands. Pet care is a perfect opportunity for me to fill in the gaps! I will visit the pets as much as needed, feed them when advised to, pet them and play with them, and take them on nice, relaxing walks.

About: My services are pet centered. I look forward to creating a care plan that best suits the needs of your loved one. My experience and passion for all walks of life is vast and reins back to childhood. You can expect great communication and loving care! My availability is based off the needs of your loved one. I am available with open arms to welcome your pet any day or time. I truly believe that each living being deserves love and respect. We are all blessed with a personality and it’s the care takers job to support each pet based off their individualized needs.

About: I have grown up around dogs, my childhood pet was a Great Dane, and I now own a Great Pyrenees. I love all kinds of animals no matter what size. I love to walk my dog Luna, and training her to walk with me was no easy feat but she's amazing now. Building relationships with animals has always been a passion for me growing up. I am currently working part-time, and I am also a university student going for Nursing part-time. I do commute to school so I am flexible. I have a rescued Great Pyrenees, she's now 2 years old, and loves sleeping, playing, and being with family. She's great with kids and dog-friendly.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments through my background in veterinary medicine. I am comfortable with medication administration, monitoring for health concerns, and handling anxious or high-energy dogs using low-stress, Fear Free techniques. I understand how important routine, exercise, patience, and safety are, and I strive to make every dog feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I am extremely flexible and focused on caring for your pet exactly when you need it. Please let me know what your exact needs are and I will work to accommodate! I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, patience, and close attention to behavior and health changes while ensuring pets receive plenty of enrichment, affection, exercise, and clean living spaces. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable administering medications, monitoring for medical concerns, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs using low-stress, Fear Free techniques. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own. I will always be reachable if your pets are in my care, and I love getting to sending photo updates and videos if allowed/requested! I will always have my own transportation in the case an emergency ever occurred, I have been trained in canine and feline CPR by my employer.

About: I have had a dog my whole life! Currently, I have a 3 year old male Bichon Frise and a 13 year old male American Eskimo. I’ve always loved spending time with dogs and will care for yours like my own. My work schedule is flexible so I can typically accommodate drop off anytime. I have a lot of availability for weekends but can potentially accommodate longer weekday + stays too. Your dog will be allowed on furniture in our home, we are a smoke free home, and we can provide care based on any of your special needs. I don’t crate my own dog but I’m willing to crate yours if needed.

“Amy did great with our Husky! She was very patient with her and took her time because she is shy. We are going to use her for the rest of our travel contract.”

“Raeven was great with our dog while we were gone. She took her out for great walks, fed her, and gave her such great tlc. Very thankful to have such a nice dog walker!!”

“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!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including my previous dog, an 80-pound Golden Retriever. She could be reactive toward other dogs while on leash, so I became very comfortable handling strong dogs, staying calm in challenging situations, and maintaining control even when she was pulling. In addition to caring for my previous dog, I have regularly looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs by walking, feeding, and ensuring they were well cared for while their owners were away. In my personal life I love going on long runs up to 6 miles so if you have a higher energy dog that would like to join me I would love to take them with me! I am currently a university student, and I have off of school until the spring semester begins in February. I am free most weekends, and weekdays Monday-Friday. I am comfortable your dog or dogs in any environment. I have taken care of dogs that used special harness’ or prong collars so I know how to work those if needed. I love to run and hike so I can also bring your dog along if they are extra energetic!

About: I’ve worked with various animals for over 10 years, and in that time I have also pet sit for friends. I am comfortable handling a wide range of pets. My rabbit is 10 years young and thriving, and my cat is almost 3 and rambunctious. I am experienced in dog, cat, or other senior care. I have also helped friends with socializing foster puppies. I am confident in giving oral medication as well! I just graduated college with a degree in animal science. I recently picked up a job during weekdays in Trumbull, but I can still walk your dog/watch your pet! Generally, I am free: Sat/Sun - Anytime M-F - Extremely early morning or after 3:30pm I will always provide fresh water when I come in and before I leave. If the pet makes a mess I will immediately dispose of it, however if any part of the mess was assumed to be ingested I will let the owner know as soon as possible. Should the pet use the bathroom in the house I will clean and sanitize the area and dispose of the waste outside. The pet will have my full attention and treated with respect during my time with it.

“Such a great effort with my dog who was presenting as problematic on the day of the walk. Isabella tried over and over again and then found some wonderful solution. I really appreciated her smarts and effort.”

About: I have had all sorts of pets since I was a kid from bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters to dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own. She is a sharp-eagle. She is about 2 years old and loves all dogs. I would love to bring her along with me to go on walks etc at your approval. I am currently a nanny part time and a part time student at SCSU. I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friend on the weekends. I care for your pets in your home and will follow any directions for caring for your furry friend. Whether its feeding and or playing or walking I am there to care for your pet in the time of need.

About: I have a lot of love to give to all fur babies. I have had dogs my entire life. No matter how young or old, I have the time and patience and special love catered to fit your babies needs. The more notice I receive, the better care I can give, HOWEVER, no matter the notice, all my love is always given as often as agreed upon. I can watch your dogs in your home only as we are currently in a smaller home with animals of our own that need their space. I will spend as little or as much time with your babies as requested.

About: I’ve always had a cat & now I care for my small dog! I trained my own animals through the puppy stages & taken care of animals through all stages of life Im working part time & will be able to care for animals with 2 days notice. I prefer to keep animals in their home, rather than board in mine. Although willing to discuss options! I am happy to care for your animal at your home & provide regular check ins, potty breaks, feeding, & medication (if needed). It’s important to keep a routine with animals, & will do everything I can to maintain balance.

About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.

About: Hi, I’m Mary-Ellen. With over 25 years of combined personal and professional experience, I provide thoughtful, individualized care for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I live in Madison, CT with my teenage daughter (part-time) and my dog Hunter—a sweet, well-socialized red golden retriever who’s used to sharing space with other pups. Dogs in my care become part of our daily rhythm. We take walks through downtown Madison, go for car rides, and run local errands—if that’s something your dog enjoys. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I’m especially experienced with: • Senior dogs and their mobility or comfort needs • Dogs with social or separation anxiety • Special diets due to allergies or sensitivities • Administering medications (oral and injections) • Creating routines that mirror your home to ease transitions I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone. Whether they’re active or more low-key, I adjust to their pace and preferences. Some dogs need extra attention, others just want quiet companionship—and I’m equally happy to provide both. Thanks for considering me as part of your pet’s extended family. I’d love to learn more about your dog and how I can help provide the care and consistency they deserve. —Mary-Ellen •Home-Based Care: Nurturing a Secure Environment and Prioritizing Pet Safety!• Working from home provides me with the unique advantage of flexibility, enabling me to devote substantial and uninterrupted time to the care of your cherished pets. This arrangement allows for constant supervision, companionship, and responsiveness to their needs throughout the day. Whether it's a comforting presence, timely walks, or attending to specific requirements, my ability to work from home ensures that your loved ones receive the attention and care they deserve, fostering a secure and nurturing environment. Ensuring your pet's safety is my utmost priority, and I take proactive measures by asking detailed questions about their behaviors and needs. This personalized approach allows me to tailor my care to the unique characteristics of your furry friend, creating an environment that promotes their well-being and security. A key aspect of this commitment to safety is the policy of not allowing dogs to be off-leash. This decision, rooted in safety considerations, applies consistently to all dogs under my care, irrespective of their familiarity with off-leash activities. This policy is designed to maintain a controlled setting, minimizing potential risks and ensuring a secure and predictable environment during our time together. By adhering to this approach, I aim to provide peace of mind for both you and your pet, fostering a positive and stress-free experience.
