I treat other animals as my own :)

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Duane. I currently live in New Britain. I started dog walking a couple years ago. I enjoy spending time with animals. I would treat your home and dog as my own. I love going for hikes and walks. I have a pretty open schedule and I’m very flexible. If your dog requires any special needs I’d be willing to aid in any way possible. I’ve had dogs my entire life. I have a 1 year old Boxer/Shepherd named Thor. He is my world! I’ve also had a German Shepherd, Corgi, Miniature Pincher and a Chihuahua. Animals have always felt comfortable around me. It’s almost like as if they know a good person when they see one. I would love to make an effortless transition in care for your pet. Dogs particularly feel more comfortable in their own environment. Feel free to setup a meet and greet!

Duane took excellent care of my 11 year old Labrador Retriever, Dylan. Dylan stayed with Duane on 2 separate occasions recently and Dylan couldn’t be happier spending time with him. I highly recommend Duane! He’s the best and I’ll definitely be hiring him again soon! Monica H.

I have known Duane for more than 15 years. During the time that I have known him there has been several occasions where he has not only taken care of my (fur baby) dog Sadie but also my son. I always knew that my babies were safe with him and well looked after and there has never been a single problem while they were in his care. I find Duane to be reliable, friendly, attentive and a great care taker for any needs you might have. He absolutely adores his cat and the companionship and never ending love that comes along with him. Duane would be an excellent choice for any of your pet care needs. I would highly recommend him and the high quality of care he will provide.

Duane has bin wonderful for my dogs who are very special to me, he understands how to make them and myself happy. I totally trust him in my home and with my girls. He always sends me pictures and I can tell that they are having a great time. Thank you Duane ?

Duane was consistent and reliable! Porter was well cared for and got a lot of fun and active exercise. I would recommend as a dog walker!

Information Duane B. would like to know about your pet

Just any health concerns or limitations. It also helps to know if your dog suffers from separation anxiety as this can effect animals and humans. For example; if the dog had diarrhea the first night you were away. That is a symptom of separation anxiety. So I like to get to know the animals I’m caring for. It’s important to me to do as much as I can.

A typical day

I’m open to dog parks, hiking, fetch, frisby, walking around town and going on adventures.
