Dog Walking Old Lyme

About: I’ve grown up with dogs but have experience with both dogs and cats. I have always had a natural love for animals. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, whether they love to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply relax by my side. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I work remotely, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, including taking them outside, going for walks, playing, and giving them lots of love and cuddles. I enjoy having animals around while I work and am happy to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I like to keep things as comfortable and familiar as possible for each pet. I’ll follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide, while paying attention to their personality and individual needs. Whether they’re energetic, shy, or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and have a positive experience while you’re away.

About: I have been cat and dog sitting for my family since I was able to be left alone in a house and have grown up around dogs and cats. I now currently watch my family’s pets for them as well as have my own dog and cats. I can come in at most 5 times a day to check on your pet or I can walk your dog throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule so I can be free frequently throughout the day. I have tons of experience with many different types of dogs from small dogs to larger dogs. I will ask questions if I need to but am very familiar with pet care.

About: I have always had animals since I was a young girl, both cats and dogs. I showed a special interest in them, leading to me attending multiple summer camps for FIDELCO seeing eye dogs. As I got older I began attending conservation summer programs. I have worked on sea turtle conservation efforts in North Carolina. I have also spent a month in Sumatra and Bali, Indonesia contributing to coral reef restoration as well as preserving the local orangutan population. I have watched numerous pets of family friends as well as my own family during vacations. I attended University on the island of Oahu. There I began working at a feline-specialty veterinary office as a vet assistant for a year and a half. Upon moving back to Connecticut in June of 2026 I have begun working at an Urgent Care for pets. I also have two cats, who I consider my children! I work M-F 9am-6pm. I do my absolute best to ensure my calendar availability is up to date and accurate. My calendar is typically updated a month out. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding scheduling. While I do not offer in-home pet sitting at my residence, I ensure your pet will be taken care of just as well I would mine in my own home.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to beloved pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs after caring for my Pomeranian, Coco, in her old age.🪽I’m calm, patient, reliable, and experienced with all personalities, routines, and medication needs. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect. I’m a full-time student online, so I have plenty of time to spend with pets. I’m active and love getting dogs outside for walks and hikes, and I also make sure they get enrichment through play, structure, and mental stimulation. I practice a lot of this with my own dog, Brownie. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages. I’ve cared for my own dog, Brownie, from her puppy days and know how important patience, guidance, and consistent routines are. I follow the routines you’ve set for feeding, walks, playtime, and enrichment, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own home. I treat your home with respect, keep things tidy, and pay attention to the little things that make pets feel relaxed and happy while your away.

“Adriana has been a life saver for myself and my dog, Donut. He looks forward to his time with her, and his walks. She has helped to teach him not to pull when being walked on the leash which makes it so much easier and enjoyable when I walk him also. I’ve been able to call her on short notice when my schedule has changed and she has always been accommodating. We recommend her without hesitation!”

“Roger clearly loves dogs - he became instant friends with our little Maltipoo Brody. Roger was dependable and friendly, and we were lucky to have found him. Highly recommended as a dog walker!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was a little kid, and for others for about 5 years now. Whether it is training or just hanging out, your pets needs are always met. I work Monday through Friday , 8am - 5pm. I am able to be somewhat mobile during those days, specifically during the lunch hour! Weekends are normally free as well! Your pets safety and well being is my utmost concern, and with the years of experience under my belt, you can be rest assured that your pets are safe.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved spending time with them. I have experience walking and caring for neighbors’ dogs, and I also have a Portuguese Water Dog of my own, Chulita, who I trained myself. I’m very active, responsible, and love getting outside for walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I’m a senior at Connecticut College with plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so I’d be happy to work walks, playtime, and pet care into my daily routine. I’m reliable and will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and exercise. I provide care in the owner’s home and will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost care and respect. I’ve house-sat before and am very comfortable staying in someone else’s home. I’m very detail-oriented and will pay close attention to your pet’s routine, needs, and any specific instructions you leave. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, happy, and comfortable while also keeping your home clean and tidy.

I am currently focusing on expanding my pet care client base and I am completely available for pet care around the clock.

When providing overnight pet care in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort every step of the way. Your pet stays relaxed in their familiar environment, enjoying consistent routines, personalized attention, and loving companionship throughout the night. At the same time, I treat your home with the utmost care—keeping it tidy, secure, and respected as if it were my own. If needed, I have an air mattress to bring and my own necessities. Additionally, I always come prepared with a Pet First Aid Kit, extra leashes and collars, poop bags, and have safety tethers in my vehicle for safe transportation. I do not bring or invite guests (my human or my dogs) without explicit permission of the client. I respect my client's privacy and understand that client's pets are not always comfortable with strangers.

About: I am a stay at home mother looking for an active hobby. I have taken care of my own pets from a very young age as well as family members pets. I love animals, have helped rehome pets that need better lives and TNR’d cats in my own neighborhood. I will ensure your pets feel loved and safe while in my care. I’m hoping to build consist relationships. I am currently home full time with my children and my husband works from home. I have alot of availability weekdays and weekends mornings noon and night. I have cats at home who are very friendly. I feel very capable of caring for your pets the same way you would showing them love, affection and safety. All rules and routines my clients live by will be followed to ensure trust is built and hopefully lasting relationships.

About: I absolutely love going for walks and runs with dogs! Please see updated photos for some of my previous pet clients. Recently took care of a few hairless cats as well as a big dog! I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so messes do not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! Known for my positive and caring energy as a music therapist (who works alongside a pet therapist!) and music teacher, and with a mom with a college degree in animal science, I have a passion for animals in general. She is now dating a farmer and we now have a baby cow named clover who I help take care of occasionally on Sundays. Generally I am available in the middle of the day most days of the week for one-off visits. My boyfriend is a biologist and also has a small dog who I walk frequently in the mornings and at midnight (she’s a night owl like us!) Available to do drop-ins at your home within 45 mins of Montville - please message me at least one week before your trip to solidify the booking! Please be kind, respectful, and professional in your requests - I do not take last minute visits but would love to help you out with your furry friend. Not a veterinarian, just an animal lover with a lot of compassion!! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!

“Our dear doggies love Irina. She has an obvious love and attachment to animals that makes her very caring towards them. Walks and gives updates afterwards Highly recommend!!”

About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
