Dog Walking Marion

“Michael has been amazing with Tucker since he has started with us! Tucker is happy when he arrives & it's very obvious they have formed a great connection. Michael has also been assisting with our ongoing training for Tucker on his walks & is always making sure Tucker is safe. We really lucked out when we found Michael & are all very happy with his services & work ethic. Would highly recommend to anybody in search of dog-walking & pet care needs.”

“Roderick walked my three dogs and handled them with remarkable calm; that’s no small feat when two of them pull. He took every photo and logged every entry in the app, which is genuinely hard to do with three dogs on leash. We’d absolutely use him again and recommend him without hesitation.”

About: I have owned and cared for pots of all types and kinds since I was a child, particularly cats and dogs. As an adult, I have owned three dogs and four cats and deeply enjoy the experience of being a pet parent myself. I have cared for, walked, fed, and watched overnight for many length of days many cats and dogs for my friends, family and professionally. I understand the nuances of what is required for individual pet care and how to follow directions carefully. I'm in excellent communicator and want to ensure that my pet parents that I work for are kept in the loop and feel comfortable with my service! I take special care to ensure that each individual pet is cared for in the way that they need and particularly to ensure that no animal is ever let out without being on the leash or let out at all if they are a cat. I genuinely enjoy playing with cats and dogs and making sure that they get the adequate exercise and stimulation that they need. I look forward to caring for your pet soon! Ps, I am very strong and have experience with walking large dogs, as powerlifting is a hobby of mine in my spare time! Since I work from home part-time, I have lots of flexibility and fluidity to care for someone's pet or meet a need at the last minute. I live in Central Connecticut which is very close to every County and I'm comfortable taking a drive if needed. I have an extremely flexible schedule between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I would only be providing services in other people's homes to let them out or feed them daily or any kind of walking or playing services. In my own home, I currently have two cats who enjoy free reign of the home. We do also have a fenced in yard fully, but at this time I would not be offering that service in my own home.

“Rachel has been great with my dog Hazel. She is great at communicating and letting me know the little details of the visit beyond just the path and basic report. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands while I am at work.”

About: I’ve been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets really sparked my passion for taking care of them. These days, I’m a proud dog parent, and I’m always the go-to person whenever my friends, family, or neighbors need someone to watch or help out with their fur babies. I’ve also spent a lot of hands-on time volunteering at local animal shelters, which I absolutely love Pet care is seamlessly built into the start and end of my day. Every morning and evening, I prioritize feeding, walking, and grooming my dog. Weekly, I dedicate time to deeper tasks like washing bedding and deep-cleaning gear. Because these habits are already second nature to me. When I visit your pet, my main goal is to keep them happy, safe, and on their usual schedule. I'll swing by, double-check that the house is secure, and scoop fresh food and water exactly how instructed. Then, we’ll head out for a good walk or have a fun playtime session. I always send quick text updates and cute photos while you're away so you know how your fur babies are doing.

“Ashley was great visited Charlie at home a month before she was scheduled. Did a great job of keeping me informed of Charlie the week I was away.”

“Jade has been very conscientious in caring for my dogs and has had an intuitive understanding and playfulness in all of his interactions with Clancy and Schuyler. They adored and bonded with him as if he has been a family member for their whole doggy lives. More importantly, Jade is the first dog sitter in whom I have had complete confidence that he would follow all instructions regarding not only caring for the dogs but also caring for the house with professionalism and attention to detail. When you go on vacation, you don’t want to worry about your pets and house. You’ll be able to do that with Jade. He’s a very responsible, competent, and kind person.”

“Our dog has some medical issues and required some extra attention and Alex did a great job!”

About: I’ve taken classes in animal science focusing from the smallest household pets to the biggest farm animals, you name it! But no matter the size, all pets deserve the love and care we people give each other so i'm here to support any ways to the best of my ability! <3 i work up to 3pm on most days so i can definitely stop by before dinner time! i’m also free on Friday and Saturday so feel free to take that weekend getaway :) i’m able to keep your pet consistently enriched and happy during services and have no issue with extra steps needed to ensure they are comfortable!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve lived with many Australian shepherds-sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3. Dogs at my house are allowed on the furniture with free run of my ranch house-except for the kitchen if they’re counter surfers! I am training in animal reiki and would love the opportunity to work with your dog with this (only with permission). I have a list of hikes that I love to do-some very short and easy, others longer and more challenging that can be added if interested. I’m retired and flexible for daytime requests! I’m retired with plenty of energy to help out! I love walking and being outside so I’m happy to travel and give your pup some attention. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door to allow for freedom to come and go as dogs need if agreed upon. Otherwise, the door can be closed and dogs can be taken out only with supervision. The yard is large enough to throw a ball for fetch, and there is plenty of shade with large cedar, magnolia, oak, beech, pines, and larch trees. In nice weather I like to sit outside on my patio with the dogs.

“Kelly was a great communicator on any slight changes needed to our walking schedule, and did an excellent job adapting to our middle aged dog's long and sniff filled walks. She also checked in about bringing her young (human) kiddo on the walks, which was exciting for us to make sure our dog will be used to strollers and kids for future walks. Highly recommend!”

About: I am passionate about animals, taking care of them, loving them, especially since they are not able to communicate for themselves. Dogs are amazing creatures and full of unconditional love and being with them every day is a pure joy and doesn't feel like a job. I go above and beyond to take care of these animals, which are family. I am very loving, kind, reliable, dependable and enjoy being with dogs, petting them, being affectionate with them and taking care of them is very rewarding. This is not just a job for me, it is a passion and a joy to be with dogs of all kinds, walking with them, taking care of them, talking to them is very rewarding. Thank you very much. I’m available for pet care because pet care is my full time job and it’s my passion for the past decade and I love it I will care for them as you tell me too. I give lots of love and care and petting. Animals love to be pet continually

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals, specializing in equine and dog/cat. I attended a vocational high school where I also learned basic care and handling of other animals such as cows, chickens, sheep, goats, rabbits, chinchillas, ferrets, and a number of reptile and amphibian breeds as well. I have large periods of availability mon-fri in the mornings, middays, and afternoon/evenings, which are perfect for drop ins and potty breaks, as well as constant overnight availability. Weekends, I am available to stay over all day. I have a large amount of education through 4H and FFA on the proper care of animals safely, as well as knowledge of common illnesses and injuries and the common treatments and medications for said maladies.

“We booked Alex for a bunch of morning dog walks and she was reliable and professional. She quickly adapted to our dog's quirks (he's obsessed with going to a local store to get a free milk bone every day), and he always came home from their walks happy.”

“Elizabeth is an amazing dog walker! She takes my dog on a 30 minute walk, plays with him, makes sure his water is filled, and is on time. I am so glad I found her for my dog!”

About: As someone who knows that your pet is a part of your family, you can trust that I will do my absolute best to take care of them. I have been a pet sitter for 4 years, providing exceptional care to the pets of neighbors, family, friends and clients. I have experience caring for pets with special needs, dietary restrictions, and medication. I’m currently working full time, but I’m available for overnights with any pet! I’m okay with traveling the distance to your house to watch your pet as well as house sit if needed! I understand that animals feel most comfortable around familiar surroundings, and wouldn’t want to displace them. I’m very flexible, just let me know when I’d be needed. The environment will be your own home. Your pet will not feel displaced, and will remain comfortable in his or her own bed. I understand that familiarity is key when owners are away.

Then breakfast will be handed out and always fed separately from our dogs. Water of course is always fresh and always provided in multiple places within the house and on our deck. We have a dog door that the dogs are more than welcome to use that leads out to our deck and leads down to our fenced in area. Our home is filled with plenty of dog beds, blankets, and tons of toys!

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine! Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go to pet sitter, doing everything from feeding, walking, and bathing dogs to making sure local cats were well cared for and loved. Over the past five years, I’ve expanded my hands-on experience by fostering rescue dogs through a local shelter. I’ve cared for pets across every stage of life from 10 week old puppies requiring extra patience and routine, to gentle seniors and cats who love a calm, comfortable space. Why Choose Me: • Experienced with Dogs & Cats: Comfortable with energy levels, playtime, feeding schedules, and unique personalities for both dogs and cats. • Shelter & Foster Background: Attentive to animal body language, respecting boundaries, and managing distinct temperaments. • Dependable & Detail-Oriented: I strictly stick to your pet’s routine, house rules, and care preferences so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. Whether your fur baby needs an energetic walk, structured feeding, or cuddles during a drop-in visit, I treat every pet in my care like my own! I work part-time at night just a few days a week, which leaves my daytime hours completely open! Whether your pup needs midday walks and playtime, or your cat needs dedicated drop-in visits, feeding, and extra attention, I have near open weekday and weekend daytime availability to give your pets all the care and cuddles they need. While I don’t currently have pets of my own in my home, my condominium is extremely pet-friendly with plenty of open, grassy space for walks, exercise, and playtime! If you’d like your dog to socialize, there are many friendly neighborhood pups to meet and if they prefer solo space, that’s completely fine, too. Most importantly, I am extremely respectful of your specific rules, timelines, and care routines, and I 100% guarantee your instructions will always be followed to the letter!

“Stephanie is excellent. She is reliable and so flexible. Our dog just loves her walks, we have such peace of mind when we leave for work. I would highly recommend her services.”
