Dog Sitting Meriden

About: Hi, my names Emilee. I have been taking care of family animals for years and have plenty experience when it comes to safety, walks, some training and playtime! I’ve considered becoming a veterinarian before making my final decision for my Major in College. Im not allergic to any pets and absolutely have no problem watching any kind of fur baby! I currently work 6am-2pm part time Monday’s through Friday’s but I may be available on certain specific days earlier than that. I am flexible to the best of my ability. I do not offer in home services with animals in my room unfortunately but I do have experience watching over dogs in their owners home.

“We had such a great experience with Mckenzie! From the very beginning, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. We also loved the photo updates. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy, and that says everything. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

About: I started taking care of pets when we got a family dog when I was a kid. Since then, I help my mom with her pet-sitting business and have sat for her 3 dogs for a week+ at a time. I genuinely love taking care of dogs of all ages. I work a full-time job 7-3 M-F, and have afternoon pilot classes about twice a week, always scheduled in advance. Occasionally I go out of town for a weekend, again, scheduled well in advance. I would treat a client's pet as if they were my own, which is to say with lots of love, care, patience, respect, and kindness. And a lot of head pats (if and when applicable).

“I just booked Christine for the fourth time! She is very responsible and has been giving my cat insulin injections 2x a day after each meal with no extra charge for the injections! Highly recommended!”

“My husband and I adopted a puppy, and we were pretty nervous about finding a dog sitter. Valerie has been fantastic! She is great with our pup, reliable, and has a lot of experience with dogs. We are very comfortable with Valerie doing drop in visits. And our puppy loves her! :)”

About: If I can manage 30 middle schoolers, I can handle your dog." Hi there! My name is Michael, and I am a Cheshire local with 18 years of experience as a teacher, a dad of three kids, and most importantly — a dog dad of two. Caring for animals is not a side hustle for me; it is simply an extension of the way I live my life. My two dogs, Laney and Monster Truck, are at the center of our family. They go on walks, they cuddle on the couch, and yes — they are absolutely spoiled. When your pet stays with me, they become part of that same routine. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking. A little more about our home: I am available primarily on weekends and summers, which means when I have your pet, I am fully present — not squeezing in visits between a 9-to-5. Your dog gets my undivided attention. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My own two dogs are a larger weiner dog and a medium sized hound/boxer mix, so I understand what it means to manage both ends of the spectrum. Whether you need a dog walker, a drop-in visit, or a full boarding stay while you travel, I would love to meet your pup. Let's set up a free meet-and-greet so your dog can check me out first. Your pet deserves someone who treats them like part of our pack. Pet care is already woven into my daily life. As a dog dad of two, my mornings start with a walk and my evenings end with one. Adding your pet to that routine is natural and effortless for our family. On weekends and during the summer — when I am available for bookings — I am home and fully present, which means your dog is never an afterthought. They are part of the day from start to finish. What you can expect from me: 📍 Daily photo and text updates — I know you miss them. 🏡 A home environment with a yard, kids, and two friendly resident dogs. 🚶 Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. 🧠 Patience, structure, and consistency — 18 years in a classroom will do that to you. 💬 Clear, prompt communication before, during, and after every booking.

About: I've been caring for dogs since l was 10, and over the years I've helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, and daily check-ins. I'm comfortable with all ages and personalities-from energetic puppies to slow-moving seniors who need a gentle routine. I also have a puggle at home, so I'm no stranger to high-energy, goofy, dramatic, "I run this house" behavior. Living with a puggle has taught me patience, structure, and how to keep a dog entertained, calm, and safe even when they're full of personality. Because of that, I'm great with dogs who are excitable, stubborn, or just a little wild in the best way. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you're away. I treat every dog like my own and keep communication open with updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I go into work at 12pm, which gives me open availability every morning for walks, drop-ins, or playtime. I'm also completely free on weekends, so l can offer flexible scheduling, longer visits, and consistent care whenever you need it. When I'm caring for pets-whether in my home or a client's home, I focus on creating a calm, structured, and safe environment. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walking habits, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or outdoor time to prevent any accidents or escapes. In your home, I respect your space and your rules. I keep things tidy, follow your preferred routines, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. In my home, pets have a calm environment with plenty of attention, structure, and supervision. I also have a puggle, so I'm very familiar with managing high-energy personalities safely and patiently.

“Gabrielle did a great job watching our two needy cats!”

“This is the second time I have had Sara come for drop-in visits for my two cats. She is trustworthy, reliable, and always on time. She gives my cats attention, plays with them and takes great care of them. Sara always sends pictures so I can see how they are doing which I love. I can enjoy myself & not have to worry about them which is most important to me. I’m already booking her again for my next getaway. I highly recommend Sara!”

“We needed a new caretaker for our cat and we are lucky to have found Alex. She is a caring person, she was authentically interested in understanding our cat’s preferences and habits. She took great care of our cat while we were away. I’d highly recommend Alex”

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. For over 10 years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and administer medication to their pets. I have a 12-pound Jack Russell mix named Luna, who is almost 4 years old and loves both people and other animals. I’ve had her for the past 3 and a half years, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with puppies and young dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the patience and attention they may need. In addition, I have volunteered at animal shelters, where I cared for a wide variety of dogs and cats by feeding them, cleaning cages, walking them, and providing enrichment and playtime. I truly love working with animals and would be excited to meet your pet and build a trusting connection through exercise, play, and attentive care. I am currently in college for social work. I take my classes online and I have open availability to care for my clients and their animals. Trust and safety are two of my top priorities when it comes to taking care of your fur baby. I have an extensive amount of experience when it comes to caring for animals. I always treat them as if they were my own. I will frequently keep you updated when I walk your dog.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family and friends, including reactive/difficult dogs. I grew up with big dogs and now have a fur baby of my own. I will treat your dogs with as much patience and care as I do my own! I work until 3 in New Haven so I am free for afternoon walks/drop ins. I can also watch your pets while you are away! I cannot care for dog’s in my home as my dog does not do well with other dogs. However, I am more than happy to come to your house and help however is needed!

“Friendly and prompt”

About: Had a dog since I was a child, and have continued to have dogs my whole life. My current dog is 6 and great around children/other dogs (when she isn’t sunbathing). Currently job hunting so until that changes availability is relatively open. Early riser and love taking my dog on early morning walks in nice weather. A crate and in house fence are available, as well as sectioning off into separate rooms if needed. Plenty of beds and sleep/play space available.

About: I've had pets since a young age from lizards, cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles, guinea pigs and birds. I have a small dog of my own so I know I can give your pets lots the love and attention too whether they have fur, scales, or feathers! I work from home so all pets get get a lot of attention during the day. For dogs staying in my home, they get 3 walks a day in the morning, during my lunch break, and in the evening. I work from home so all pets get a lot of attention during the day. I love to spend my time after work going on walks and would love a buddy(s) to come with me! I am available from dog walking or in home visits after 5:15pm during the week and anytime on weekends. I think the best way to care for a pet is do exactly what they're comfortable with. I intend to have very open communication with pet parents to understand the likes, dislikes and behaviors of their fur-babies to make sure that they feel safe and comfortable. I do have a dog of my own so I also want to make sure all your pets get along with my Jax, who loves other animals.

About: Hello! My name is Nayra! I used to volunteer at the local ASPCA in my hometown of Meriden, Connecticut! Recently moved here and want to make connections with more pets! I’ve always loved animals ever since a young age, my goal is to make sure animals in need of care or help is taken care of. Throughout my life I have always been attached to dogs and tried my best to help as many as I could. I’m a owner of a German Shepherd and a poodle that suffers from many complications, I miss them very much and I look forward to meeting other dogs. And I also look forward to making connections with new dogs, learning their personalities, and giving them the care/attention that they need! Dogs are just like people. They’re all different and require different types of care.

About: Hi there, my name is Natalie! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I grew up in a big dog-loving family and have always had a dog in my life. I’ve also helped family, friends, and neighbors with dog sitting and walking over the years. I currently care for my 70-pound yellow Lab, who is truly my whole world. Having a large dog myself has given me a lot of experience with energetic dogs and the importance of regular exercise. In my full-time career I’m a licensed therapist, so being caring, attentive, and reliable is a big part of who I am. I believe every dog, no matter their size, deserves quality walks and thoughtful care. I’ll always take the time to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for every visit. I am available for walks and drop-in visits Friday through Sunday. During visits, your pup will receive walks, regular meals or treats if requested, and plenty of playtime and attention. My top priority is the safety and comfort of both your pup and your home. I respect every owner's routines and instructions so you can feel confident that everything will be taken care of during my visits. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you're away.
