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.

“Responded quickly to a last minute booking. Showed up for a meet and greet. Took care of my puppers exactly as asked. On time. Easy recommendation. Thank you!”

About: I have years of experience dog-sitting and cat-sitting for friends and clients, often staying at their homes to make sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. My friends and clients trust me to care for their pets as if they were my own, and I'm committed to providing the best care possible! My schedule allows me to visit or walk your pet after work, Mondays to Thursdays (7 am or 6 pm), and anytime from Friday to Sunday. I am also available on weekends, Friday to Sunday, for house pet sitting, so your pet will have plenty of attention and care even if you're away for an extended period! With years of experience in dog-sitting and cat-sitting, I understand the importance of creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow a consistent routine, ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable, and I take precautions to maintain a safe space within your home. I'm committed to reliable communication, sharing updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. By allowing each pet to approach me at their own pace, I foster trust and a positive bond, ensuring they feel comfortable and relaxed in my presence. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently live with my parents, where we have two family dogs, an Australian Kelpie and a Border Collie/Lab mix. So I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and positive attention. Since graduating high school five years ago, I've regularly dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's going for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or keeping your pup company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love, care, and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I currently work four days a week, so I'm available for pet care on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On the days I work, I don't start until 1:00 PM, which means I'm also available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so you can count on dependable care that fits your pet's routine! At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, where I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and secure.

“Aaralyn does a fantastic job walking my two dogs! They pull me on the leash but she handles them like a pro. She also leaves me feedback after every walk.”

“Ashley has been great with our high energy lab/husky Daisy. Daisy took to Ashley immediately during our meet & greet, and has grown very comfortable with her. Ashley has been a huge help as we have transitioned back to work and getting to the office. Daisy loves her time with Ashley, so we have been extremely happy.”

About: I have grown up with both small and large dogs in my life, from puppies to older dogs with medical needs. I am very careful and alert with my dogs to make sure they don’t get hurt or eat anything they shouldn’t. I love to be active and have experience with training, including leash walking. I have a soft spot for dachshunds, but I truly love all dogs. I am a teacher, so I have a flexible schedule during the summer. I have a lot of availability at night since I work part time during summer days and make my own schedule. I have a very clean home that is very pet friendly, since I have three dogs of my own - a dachshund, a black lab mix, and a cattle dog corgi mix. I can easily crate your dog or contain them in a room (included a gated kitchen) if requested. I also have two gated decks that my dogs love to sunbath on, a nice backyard, and sidewalks around my house for walks.

“Kaleem gave our doods an amazing walk that tired them out! He was so good with my labradoodle who is a bit jumpy. He helped him calm down and helped my dood get focused and listen to commands. Kaleem is very knowledgeable about all the things and I feel comfortable to leave my doods in his care. Looking forward to future walks with Kaleem!”

About: Hi there—my name is Jordan! I've been caring for pets since I was young. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, and reptiles. I currently have an 8 year old cat named Walter and a 15 year old turtle named Lucille. Walter has a heart condition which requires medication every 12 hours so I am well versed with administering meds. I will always abide by your pet’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration (if needed), and any training or house rules you’ve put in place. I treat your home with the same respect and consideration I give my own. In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading, and painting. I love the outdoors so I'm prepared to give your dog tons of exercise. I also love to lounge around, so I’m happy to adjust my energy to match your pet’s. After each walk or drop-in visit, I’ll send you a detailed update with plenty of photos. For overnight stays, I typically send three updates per day but I’m happy to adjust that based on your preferences.
