Dog Walkers in Newtown, CT

About: *FULLY BOOKED UNTIL MAY 01, 2026* Salutations, My name is Saori and I have 15+ years caring for animals. Not only have I owned and cared for everything from rodents to livestock, but all ages of pets as well. I studied to be a vet tech and worked for places such as the Animal Medical Center in NYC then eventually became a farmer so I'm capable of helping those in need of Physical Therapy, medication from syringe to pills, and able to notice when a pet is ill and needs additional care. I am also a foster mom for dogs via Paws Rescue League and have placed more than a dozen dogs in the last 2 years. Needless to say I love animals and able to provide your dog (or cat) with the best of care. I work from home at my farm. I rarely vacation so I am home all day and able to have pets in and around my home at all times. Expect every morning that your dog will be taken to the dog park, have breakfast, and will play with other dogs on the farm all day until bedtime. If your dog has INVISIBLE FENCE brand collars we can accommodate them to free roam. I have a farm with two dog friendly dogs. My farms has fenced and gated areas, but I normally let my dogs play outside all day in nice weather. If your dog has good at recall they'll be allowed off leash, but if not they'll have a scheduled day that will include swimming, hikes and lots of pets. If you have a pet that is senior and prefers naps over playtime. We have a specially made dog room with a TV and air conditioning.

“Love having Lindsey care for Barbell! And take him on walks. She’s been very good to him and I. And such a lovely young girl! So appreciative of her help.”

About: I am a semi retired veterinary assistant with nearly 20 years professional experience and a passion for caring for animals. As a life long pet owner myself, I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your pets at home. I appreciate and respect the trust that every owner puts in me when they contact me to care for their animal. I can give medications if needed, including injections. Also have worked in shelters and volunteer at rescues. I have taken care of senior dogs and cats. Feeding, walking, playing or if they have any special needs is not a problem. I have a flexible schedule and open to working with you to arrange drop in visits. Mid morning through later afternoons are open for me. If you need another time, just let me know. I'm happy to do whatever your pets need, whether they want to play, walk or just hang out. If they are a little shy and need time to get used to me is totally understandable, I will follow their cues. I will take my time to learn what they need and adapt to them. The goal is always to keep them as stress free as possible.

“Caroline has been an awesome dog walker and always takes great care of my dog Lolo! He always seems so happy when I come home at the end of the day. One time, she went out of her way to bring him some food after the walk session is finished when she noticed that my dog food ran out and she didn’t want him to starve. My baby is so lucky to have her! I’ll continue to trust her with my fur baby. Thank you so much :)”

About: I am a very active person i love being out side and going on runs or just simply going on walks. I wake up early everyday and usually go on runs and take my little puppy on walks. I live in a nice area close to town. I love all types of dogs and my schedule is very flexible being a realtor so i am always able to do walks at all times! would love to have overnight stay and would give extra love to all the dogs! I am a full time realtor so my schedule is made by me and can be very flexible. I can be pretty open with my hours. I have a fenced in yard and also own a duplex so I can house different dogs upstairs or separate if need be. I absolutely love dogs and cats so any pet will feel right at home with my care.

About: Hi! My name is Priya - I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a full house. Over the years I’ve lived with 7 dogs, 5 Siberian cats, 2 rabbits, and 8 birds. While I wasn’t always the primary caretaker as a kid, I grew up learning the essentials: feeding, cleaning, training, body language, and giving lots of love and attention. I also have experience with grooming (including bathing, brushing, nail trims), and with senior and special needs pets (including administering medications, eye drops, and insulin shots). I’m calm, observant, and patient, and I am intentional about everything I do. I treat every animal like they’re my own and would love to meet more furry friends! 💛 I am looking for part time positions and have flexible availability throughout the week! I would be more than happy to build a schedule that works with you! I value open and honest communication and understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I follow all care instructions closely, respect routines and boundaries, and pay close attention to behavior and body language. If anything feels unclear or out of the ordinary, I’ll always reach out, and I’m happy to provide lots of pics and updates so you feel confident and at ease.

“Upon my initial meeting of Amy, I knew she genuinely loves dogs, since my “Buttons” took to her immediately! I will definitely be using her services again!”

About: I’m a serial long-term pet sitter, and finally trying out Rover! Our family- myself, my partner, Will, our 9 year old son & 5 year old daughter- are huge animal fans! I’ve owned dogs, cats, fish, and lizards myself and we currently have an outgoing, friendly, & vocal black cat named Calzone, a cuddly old man Syrian hamster named Faris, and a Tetra tank we affectionately call “The Kids”. I am the go-to pet sitter for several family members, friends, and neighbors. We have had pets stay with us for long term stays. So, long term & frequent stays are A-OK… your pet will be cared for like part of the family. I am comfortable caring for farm/hobby farm animals at your home as well. We moved to Bethel (Will & I grew up in the area) in 2024 from our home in Fairfield where we lived for almost 10 years & where I started with Rover! Our home is a single family farmhouse with a huge open yard, meadow, and ponds, abutting wooded trails and a short walk to Huntington Park. Our yard is not fenced, and although our street is relatively quiet, we always are with our visitor dogs when outside. Dogs with strong prey drive might not be a good fit for stays at our house, but could be a great fit for care in your home, walks, etc. I work a flexible job from home, so am home all day except for bringing my daughter to & from school or a breif errand. If your pup likes car rides, they’re welcome to come with! Please let me know if your pet prefers crating when no one is home for breif (think 20-30min) periods. For boarders or full day daycare, I like to make one big adventure (trail walk/hike/dog park/beach) and then add in shorter walks/playing in the yard, and can adjust based on level of activity/couch potato of your pup. I can work in this kind of schedule or shorter stints for care based from your home as well. If I’m home, your pet is likely with me! I don’t have a big house, so we spend the majority of our time in a few spaces & we’d have your pet right there with us, unless they prefer their own space. I mentioned most of this in the “experience” section, so please do read that whole section. Basically, I have a lot of flexibility and can adapt to most pet care needs. Because I have two small children, I will not be able to accommodate pets with aggression/fear aggression in my home, and would need to be made aware of this if I’d be caring for your pet in your home. I can work with individuals on daycare hours, and I’d typically plan on 30min-1hr for walks or stopping at your house for pop-in care (cats & other pets too, so they can get some playtime in!). For longer pop-ins, message me and we can work out how to bill depending on your needs. Outside of boarding, if I am coming to your home I may need to bring one or both of my kids with me if it’s outside of school hours/schedule. This would be communicated to you, and they would never be allowed out of my sight in those cases. If you have any questions, always feel free to ask. I like to send pictures, but don’t like to spam folks with pictures (but you can always ask me to spam you with pics)!

“Very responsive and flexible. We felt reassured about our pets while we were gone that they were in great hands.”

“Great communication and took my dog on a full walk.”

“Annmarie is an excellent dog walker! Dependable, communicative, and personable. My dog loves her! She is teaching him new commands, which helps me as well! My dog is strong, and she handles him easily. She checks his water dish and refills it if necessary. Me and my dog are so glad I found Annmarie!”

“Jamie is a first-class companion to our 5-month old pup, Rosie. We were nervous about using a sitter for the first time, but Jamie’s calm, kind demeanor put us at ease right away when he came to meet Rosie days before the walk. Day of, Jamie sent us the sweetest updates with photos to assure us that she was not only well-cared for, but having fun too. Thank you Jamie - we can’t wait to book you another visit with Rosie soon!”

“I'm so grateful to Tierna! My animals just love her, especially my dog. She is truly an angel!! I really just can't thank Tierna enough. Tierna brings me peace of mind!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I got my own little Poodle girl at 12 who was the love of my life for 14 years. Since that hole in my heart was made in 2019 I’ve jumped at the chance to take care of any friend or family dog whenever I could. I’m sure a lot of people say they have a sixth sense for dogs, but I truly do. Dogs that normally don’t like people, like me, and I’ve had multiple shocked faces when those dogs are fine with me. I have taken care of old dogs, young dogs, sick dogs, injured dogs, and dogs that are allergic to everything. I also let them move free and don’t crate them unless it’s a requirement. If they want to sleep with me in the bed they can unless they are a breed that shouldn’t. I’m looking to be full-time on here and have full availability. I’d be able to be with the dogs for most of the day outside of having to go to the store or something like that. My yard has a fence on one side and a natural tree border on the other three sides, I share a driveway with my neighbor so there’s another whole house and yard before the road. I wouldn’t let them outside unless I was with them, most dogs know the authority of my voice so I can trust them without a leash after they get comfortable with me and the yard but the first few walks will be leashed to gauge the dog. I usually do a 6am and 6pm feeding time unless otherwise specified. I usually am up around 5am for the morning walk, I’ll usually walk them every 2 hours or so to hope the poop at least once a day. I let them sleep where they want wether it’s in their crate, on the floor/blanket/dog bed or if they want they can sleep in the bed with me unless the breed shouldn’t. I would be with them all day so separation anxious dogs can be less stressed. I never ever will feed them from the table or kitchen while I’m cooking something for myself, I am also not quick to give treats unless they deserve it so I usually send them home with treats still remaining in their bag.
