Dog Sitting Middlefield

“Brooke was so kind and attentive to my kitties. My babies were well cared for. It was nice to get daily updates and photos. Brooke is reliable, accommodating and flexible.”

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. Currently have a dog walking client at Winding Brook Condominiums in Meriden. I’m there twice a day for 30 minute walks and play. I bought some balls for her so she can play. Have videos and lots of photos. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

“Alex watched my dogs for several days while I was out of town and took fantastic care of them. She played fetch every time she went by, sent several pictures, and let me know anything out of the ordinary. I would highly recommend letting Alex take care of your fur babies!”

“Michelle was fantastic. We had a frantic schedule and Michelle helped us out in a pinch. My husband and I highly recommend her!! Our dogs love her as well.”

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.

“Cole was great! He was very accommodating and took care of my many pets and kept me updated on how everyone was doing. I’m looking forward to booking him again!”

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 have grown up around animals and have had both dogs and cats my whole life, as well as various types of small animals. I spent the last year working as an attendant at a Dog Daycare and Boarding center where I learned a lot more about caring for dogs in addition to my previous dog sitting experience. I have experience working with and handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, specifically large dogs with lots of energy. I have a lot of patience for dogs who get anxious while their families are away and can help them feel as comfortable as possible. I rode horses for 10 years and For several years I worked leading pony rides and handling farm animals for a traveling petting zoo which has given me a well rounded understanding for taking care of animals in general. I am a college graduate and in college I would often take care of my friend’s animals when they were in class or away. At the moment I only have a cat and would love to get to spend more time with dogs again. I work in theatre as a prop and paint artist and a lot of jobs in the field are for a couple weeks at a time and are not always the most consistent. I have full availability on the weekends and have a very flexible schedule during the week, specifically in the morning and evenings but also can likely do mid day. I have helped my sister train her dog and can help continue any training and/or rules you have for your dog while walking and taking care of them. I can keep a close eye on them if they are likely to get into trouble or things they’re not supposed to. I will give your pets lot of love and attention while you’re away. I can also play with your dogs and help get their energy out during the day. My dog is very playful and I often have to run around with him in the yard and play with him in the house to help him calm down.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was six and started helping take care of them around age ten. I genuinely love having a dog around, and there’s nothing better than the companionship and snuggles. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to stick to your dog’s routine so they feel right at home. I’m a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule, so I’m home a lot and able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I love having animals around! They really fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out, your pet will have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long periods of time. In my home, your pet will have a calm, comfortable space and lots of attention. I only have a caged rabbit, so they’ll pretty much have the house to themselves. I also have a large yard for walks and fresh air. I promise to stick to your pet’s routine as much as possible and adjust based on their personality, whether they want to play or just relax and snuggle.

About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.

About: Many years experience of potty and crate training puppies. I have raised a St. Bernard, Husky, 2 Pomeranians, and currently have a BichaPoo. I even was able to assist my Pom Coco when she gave birth to her son. It was a beautiful moment. My schedule is very flexible and most days I work from home. Plenty of time to spend with your pet. If I do have to go into the office I will be gone no longer than 5 hours. In the evenings my husband and 4 kids (ages 15,12,7 & 7) are home as well. I have a fenced backyard and a lovable BishaPoo to play with your fur baby. Pets in our home are free to roam around our home. They are one of the family.

“Giselle was amazing!! I highly recommend. She was very attentive and took great care of Ben. She also sent a ton of pictures which make my time away easier.”

About: Growing up dogs have been a huge part of my lifestyle and household. Having owned 8 furry friends in my lifetime, and 1 being a cat, it’s hard not to pick up on their language 😂. Especially with the energetic Pomeranians my mom’s side loved. Aside from this experience, family, friends, and neighbors have regularly relied on me to take care of their pets while they’ve been away. Approaching every dog I see in public has become a mission of mine and it makes my day interacting with high energy animals! Trust when I say the pleasure is mine! I currently work part time, Sunday-Wednesday. On Sundays I’m out of work at noon, and on the weekdays I work I’m out by 2pm. Thursday-Saturday my schedule is most flexible. I do like to stay busy so I prefer advance notice, earlier the better. Last second bookings are possible, just less guaranteed. I have a few packs of treats that I keep for dogs. The brands I’ve purchased include Old Mother Hubbard, WholeHearted, Zuke’s, Good Lovin’, etc. I usually mix it up because some dogs are surprisingly picky. Let me know of any medical problems or dietary needs. I’ve dealt with many unique medical concerns. Some examples include pets requiring doses of medicine each day, restrictions on physical activity, and ones with anxiety. Let me know any accommodations or special needs, I will follow! I also have a couple toys just in case.
