“Lana did such an amazing job walking our dog for several weeks while we were away this summer. She is a great communicator and took such fantastic care of our Lagotto. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional dog walker. Thank you Lana!”


About: I’ve grown up taking care of animals my whole life, assisting my family with our array of pets. I’m great with bigger dogs who may require more strength to walk. I also have experience with cats, right now my family has a giant Maine Coon. I am a college student on summer break and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can work around you and your pets’ needs. I also am very active and can take your dogs for long walks/runs/hikes if requested! I currently have no pets in my apartment besides my fish tank. I am able to accommodate crate or no crate in my home. I live in an apartment building with multiple grassy areas surrounding and a walking trail. I am able to spend ample time with your pets.
“Molly was so sweet with our pup and so considerate, she helped us at last minute request and handled our pup for his first Rover walk so seamlessly and wonderful, we can’t thank her enough!”

“We have been fortunate to have Alexandra as our dog walker, and we couldn't be happier with her services. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to her work. Our dog absolutely adores Alexandra, and it's easy to see why. She has a natural way with pets, and Winnie is always excited to see her. Alexandra is consistently punctual, which we greatly appreciate given our busy schedules. Her reliability gives us peace of mind, knowing that our dog is in good hands. What sets Alexandra apart is her attention to detail and the thoughtful updates she provides after each walk. We receive detailed notes about the walk, including any interesting encounters or observations about our dog's behavior. This level of communication is invaluable and reassures us that our pet is well cared for. Above all, Alexandra is incredibly trustworthy. We feel completely comfortable having her in our home, and it's clear that she treats our dog with the same care and respect as she would her own. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional, and caring dog walker, we wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra. She has truly become an important part of our pet's life, and we are grateful for her exceptional service.”

“Ivon did a great job with Scout! My dog can be shy but quickly warmed up to Ivon and loved her. Ivon sent videos and pictures so I know my dog was having fun. We will use her walk service again!”

“Jennifer has been terrific! My dog can be picky with who she likes and she took to Jennifer immediately. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to walk their pup.”

“Ralph was great with our Great Pyreenes, who can be a lot to handle. He was very patient and caring and listened to our instructions. He showed up on time and communicated with us daily. We will be using him again!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give— I truly treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, gentle, and focused on making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and comfortable. I also have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so I can adapt to different energy levels, routines, and special needs. You can always count on consistent communication from me, too. I provide photo updates and messages during walks or check-ins so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your dog the same love and care they get at home. I’m currently working from home and am available to dog sit or walk during the afternoons and mornings. I am very flexible with my schedule during the week and weekends. Having a dog myself, I treat all dogs with care and love. I make sure I do exactly what the owner requests to ensure a successful dog sitting or walking experience.

About: A little about me… I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments. I grew up with larger breeds like Boxers and now have two English Cocker Spaniels, along with my mom’s corgis! I’ve cared for even small animals like bunnies! I started pet sitting at 12 and have continued ever since, so I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and understanding their individual needs. I know that every pet is different, some need frequent walks and bathroom breaks (like my small doggies!), while others prefer a more relaxed routine, and I’m attentive to those differences. Having grown up in New Canaan, I’m familiar with the area and the types of routines and care local pet owners expect. Whether your dog needs long walks, structured care, or just some extra attention while you’re away. Happy to discuss with you what your pet needs are! I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and attentive throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to provide consistent supervision, bathroom breaks, and attention as needed. I especially love caring for puppies and more active dogs. I’m happy spending time walking in the morning, mid day, and evening to ensure they stay active! I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, behavior, and comfort level to make sure they feel secure while you’re away. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and understand the importance of things like proper leashing, secure doors and gates, and supervised play at all times.
About: I’ve been around animals of all different kinds my whole life. The most important thing to me is that your dog is happy and engaged! Right now I’m at home a lot focusing on getting my permit and GED, so I have plenty of time to walk dogs! Typically the only times I’m unavailable are Mondays from 1:30pm-3:00pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00am-1:00pm, and Fridays from 12:30pm-2:30pm. I am very adaptable so if there’s any requests you have for me I’m more than happy to oblige- whether it’s specific places you want me to go and/or avoid or if I need to keep an extra eye on your dog I’m more than up to the task!
“Kate was absolutely excellent! She is very friendly, extremely professional and was kind enough to accommodate us on very short notice, and most important my furry baby was very happy with his walk. Thank you so much Kate, your service is greatly appreciated!”
