Dog Walking Newtown Grant

About: I've always been a dog lover! I've had a dog for almost 13 years and frequently dog sit for family members! I am also a daycare teacher and love getting to care for them and grow with them! As a daycare teacher, I quickly pick up on their schedules, allergies, different needs of each child, etc., which would easily translate into helping your furry friend. I hope to get to know you and your furry family members! I am currently working full time as a daycare teacher but have most nights and weekends free. I would be available after about 5:15pm on week nights and throughout the day on weekends! I do have a family dog and frequently dog sit family dogs. Taking them for walks (or simply letting them out in the backyard), playing and interacting with them, and feeding them all on their schedule! And of course, loving them unconditionally

“Diane is fantastic! She sends full updates on the walk and time spent with my puppy as well as pictures and videos of them playing. I would recommend Diane to anyone with a dog of any age, she’s the best.”

About: I love all animals! I’ve had dogs my entire life! I would take care of your dog with same attention I would give my own. I work in office 3 days and week and remote 2 days a week. Late afternoons and evenings work best! I’m available all weekend long! I have a fenced in privacy fence with a latch. Perfect for any size dog! I do not have a crate but my home is dog friendly!

“Patrick did an awesome job with our pups, Isabella and Chance, today on their walk! They loved him so much they didn't want him to leave. Will definitely be booking again after the holidays. Thank you Patrick!”

“Josh is a lifesaver. I’m from out of the area staying at a hotel and needed someone to let Buddy out midday. Josh was very coordinated in his efforts and took Buddy on a huge walk. Way above and beyond. Would highly recommend.”

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, an energetic adventure, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, belly rubs, meals, potty breaks, or quiet companionship, every visit is tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Building trust with both pets and their families is my top priority. I take the time to make sure every dog and cat feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way. I have occasional time off, which I will be available to walk your dog or feed your dogs/cats and provide them with quality care. I have my own pets and love animals, so they will be in good hands. I will go to homes to feed or walk pets.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that pets are family. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have owned a Golden Retriever, yorkie, two Great Danes, and a pitbull. I am comfortable with everything from energetic exercise sessions to gentle care for smaller breeds. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I do work Monday through Friday from 9-1 which is about 15 minutes away from my house, but my hours are very flexible to where I can be home during the day prices just may vary if your dog needs someone home all day! I have a fenced in yard, I have a pool if your dog is a water lover, lots of treats, I used to have many dogs but as of now I only have a yorkie in the house along with my two younger siblings who grew up with dogs and love dogs and my two parents.

“Justine is very sweet and friendly :)! My dog, Wattson loved her immediately and they had a great walk together!:)”

“Abigail was absolutely wonderful! She arrived exactly as discussed and immediately gave us peace of mind knowing our little guy was in great hands. I especially appreciated that she has experience with Chihuahuas and understands their little quirks and specific needs. She knew that Chihuahuas typically aren’t fans of the rain, so she actually planned ahead and made sure to come before the rain started so he could get his walk in comfortably. That level of thoughtfulness really stood out to us! She even went above and beyond by bringing in our Amazon packages that were delivered while we were away. It’s those little extra touches that make such a difference. Abigail is reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We would absolutely recommend her and will happily use her again! 🐾❤️”

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my household since I was born and me and my mom have trained our dogs that we have now together. We also used to foster dogs and take care of them until they found their forever home! It is always important to me that dogs never feel alone or forgotten during the day so I would love to also take care of other dogs! Currently I am off for the summer and I am a student in my Masters program with flexibility so I can mostly take care of your fur babies whenever! In my home I currently have two dogs, the have a huge fenced in backyard that they can run around in and we have huge baskets of toys that they can play with as well! If you need anything specific that you need me to do with your pets in your home I can do that as well!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve fostered 8 cats and 1 dog to date, helping them adjust to new environments and getting them ready for their forever home. I also have two cats of my own and two family cats, so I understand the care, attention, and patience they need. I’m also the go to pet sitter for my friends whenever they’re away. I’m also a certified sitter through Southeastern Guide Dogs, where I’ve cared for and trained puppies and service dogs in training. This has really shown me how to work with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I know every pet is unique and I really take the time to understand their needs and personality. I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for, giving you peace of mind and lots of pictures while you’re away! I recently graduated, so I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate my time to caring for pets. Between pet sitting and other flexible work, my routine revolves around the pets I’m caring for, not the other way around. This means I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, overnight stays, and can easily adapt to your pet’s normal routine! As of right now, I am only able to provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay where they’re most comfortable, but also to ensure that my own cats, who are nervous around other pets, remain comfortable. When caring for your pet, I treat both your home and your baby with the same respect and attention I do my own. I carefully following feeding schedule, medication instructions, walking routines, and any other care preferences you provide. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe while you’re away. Safety really is my number one priority. I’ll make sure doors, gates, windows, and any other areas are secure. I’ll be sure to keep your pet in approved areas, look out for any changes in behavior or health, and send lots and lots of pictures and videos!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for my own pets and my neighbors’ pets since I was a kid. I’m a certified veterinary technician and currently work at a doggy daycare, where I’ve spent over two years giving dogs lots of love and personalized care. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience, attention, or medication. I am in college and I work, but I am always ready to work around it. I’m available for drop-ins and walks Monday through Thursday after 7pm, Fridays and Saturdays all day, and Sundays before 12 and after 5. I care for both cats and dogs with safety, patience, and respect for their individual needs. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and litter box or potty schedules. For dogs, I focus on leash handling, safe play, and proper supervision. For cats, I prioritize a calm environment, clean litter boxes, and playing if they’d like. I keep pets in safe, clean spaces, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Wendy is AMAZING!! She came right on time, she had a file ready for me to give more detailed information about my dog. She immediately started interacting with my doggie, and he loved every bit of it! Wendy took detailed notes as I showed her around his routine. She gave very good feedback during her time walking, she sent pictures and videos? I highly recommend Wendy, she has a big heart for animals. ? ?”
