Dog Walkers in Middle Haddam, CT

About: I’m experienced with High energy breeds and dogs of all temperaments. I have cared for a spirited German short haired pointer daily since she was a puppy, ensuring her exercise and play needs were met to support her older owner. I’ve also cared for various needy dogs, tailoring playtime to their unique energy levels whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys. Beyond exercise, I provide plenty of cuddles to make dogs feel loved while their owners are away. My goal is to provide your dog with the same love and attention that you do! My schedule is mostly flexible. I am able to accommodate weekday bookings and weekends with advance notice. I can also offer holiday care when requested. I have experience with dogs that have a tendency to pull on the lead during walks. I have learned the best way to handle this is to shorten the leash, offer positive affirmations and treats for good behavior. Tell me more about your dog so I can ensure they will be safe!

“Mary has been an excellent dog walker for my dog lexi. Lexi is dog reactive and has lots of training in place to help with that. I feel comfortable knowing that Mary knows how to deal with those behaviors and that Lexi will get her time outside and her energy out in a safe way.”

“While my partner and I were traveling, we hired Josh to walk our dog while she stayed at my in-laws house. He made a great impression on them, on us, and most importantly, our dog, Willow! She couldn't wait for her daily walk with Josh. Even during a heat wave, he made sure our girl was exercised and stimulated. He dutifully sent us sweet pics of her after each walk that truly made our day. We looked forward to his updates and he really delivered! My in-laws were so impressed with him and said he was an absolute pro - we couldn't agree more. I highly recommend Josh if you are looking for a reliable and experienced dog sitter or walker. He was extremely flexible to our needs. You really couldn't do better than Josh!”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous types of dogs and cats since 2019. I can provide oral medications and injections to animals, as well as care for elderly dogs and dogs with special needs. I am currently a graduate student at the University Of Connecticut. I love taking care of animals when I am not at work or my classes. I work hard to ensure that the animals are well taken care of and given plenty of pets. I also ensure that the houses I stay at are as clean as possible.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up with a senior dog and cats in their late teens, and then got puppies and kittens that I’ve taken care of for over a decade. I’ve watched pets for friends and family, and while I’m new to professional pet care, I’ll treat yours with the same care I’d treat mine. I can fit pet care into virtually any time of most days. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I’m not very busy! I’m very gentle with my pets, and I like to treat them like a friend rather than another type of entity. I respect their boundaries and comfort, and like to see what would be best for them in any given moment. I’m always respectful of other people’s homes, always respect house rules, and am super careful of others’ property.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I have owned dogs, dog sat, and love spending time with them. I recently worked with a trainer with my own dog, and we successfully navigated flying to, and living in, Mexico. People often comment on how well behaved she is! I've recently moved back to the states and am looking for some additional income. What better way than to spend it with dogs? I grew up in the area and am excited to spend time with dogs in the area. I take the time to learn the dog's routines and expectations of the owner's home. This makes the dog's time with me the most natural that it can be.

About: I’ve always had animals in my house ever since I was young. Animals are such an important part of our family and should be treated as such. I am a mom with 3 kiddos and would enjoy to get some alone time with some furry friends. I enjoy the outdoors and consider myself an active person. I pay close attention to detail and am very organized. I would love to help with your pet caretaking responsibilities. I work in the school system so I’m off on vacations, snow days, and all summer. I can also do early mornings and evenings after work. I have a 1.5 year old pup who is very friendly that we have worked very hard to leash train, crate train, and teach commands to.
