Dog Walking Quinebaug

“It was too wet/rainy outside to walk Gidget, but I kept the appointment time anyway. I wanted to start once a week walks for Gidget to get used to seeing Katie around before house sitting for us. Hubby said that she took the time to get to know her and vice versa. Very pleased with Katie.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. Animals have always been a part of my family. I have been fostering a cat for a friend for a few months, and have taken care of a friends 3 massive dogs. Taken them on walks, fed them, and played with them. I am currently in school full-time online only and my children are in school from 7:30-4:30pm Monday through Friday. I am available to care for pets and go on walks. I have a yard and a decent sized apartment, one room that is not used at all. I also have a reliable vehicle for transportation.

About: I have worked with dog trainers so I know some training skills needed to help with certain behaviors. I can administer meds if needed. I have had farm animals so I have that experience as well. I am looking to fill my time with some amazing animals because of my love for them. I take care of everything from farm animals to cats. I can watch cat friendly dogs in my home. I have gates and a safe environment. I am more than willing to watch pets in the clients home as well to make them feel comfortable and help with routine.

“I highly recommend having Jane as a dog walker! She is quick to respond to messages and great at communicating. I loved that she sent me pictures of my dog on their walk and kept me updated on how she was doing while I was at work. She was great with my little corgi! Both Poppy and I are looking forward to using Jane for more dog walks to come!”

“Grace is an absolute gem, AND we were lucky enough to be her very first Rover walk! We have a 1-year-old bull terrier, Romani, who is crazy, hyper, and loveable in equal measure. Grace took it all in stride like she'd been doing this for years. She was incredibly sweet with her, and Romani loved her right back. She tracked her pee breaks and poop breaks and kept her out walking the full time (maybe a little over actually!). That kind of attentiveness and communication means the world when you're trusting someone with your fur baby. If you're on the fence about booking Grace, don't be. She's a natural, and we will 100% be booking her again. Give this girl all the five stars! 🐾”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have full time employment as a classroom teacher! I am now on summer break so I will have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pets!☺️ When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.

“Jackie has been a godsend to both my and puppy. Seriously wouldn’t know what we would do with out her. She has beenvery invested to helping me figure out his needs as he adjusted to being in a new home and crate. She treats my home well and will even give the cat a little love too.”

About: Hi! I’m a pet lover and certified dog trainer. I fostered and trained service dogs through a nonprofit in college, and have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages. My own dog, Bumi, is a sweet and well socialized rescue pup. I am versed in giving medication and caring for animals who need a little extra love. I’ve also got a car for pick-up/drop-off if needed. Thanks for considering me, I hope we can set up a meet and greet! I work from home full time and have a lot of flexibility. Whatever your pet’s needs are I am more than happy to meet them. I am more than willing to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I have long leads to take your pet on exploratory walks and for enjoying supervised outside time.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was young. My family used to breed German shepherd‘s, bull mastiffs, and old English bulldogs. I have experience with new born puppies all the way up to our elderly friends. Im very experienced in medication distribution with young puppies and old souls. I’m an avid hiker/walker and love to be outside. Along with dogs I have always grown up with cats. I’m more than happy to deal with any fuzzy friend in your household! I hope you consider me to be your pets best friend while your away!! I currently work full time on second shift 2 to 10 PM. I’m looking for anything between the hours of 6am to 1pm during the week. I would love to fill my mornings with the love of your pets!! Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I always keep the contact info for the nearest 24/7 emergency vet on hand. Before any transactions we will review your pet's specific routine and triggers. You can expect detailed daily updates with photos so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing! If walks are all you are looking for I log my walks via a GPS app so I can send you the exact route that me and your furry friend got to explore!

About: I grew up with multiple dogs at home and have watched many family pets. I have experience with some exotic animals and am willing to care for them as well. I have a very flexible schedule, I will be able to care for pets of all ages and sizes, with few or with many needs. I will follow instructions left for your beloved pets, will leash and crate them as need. I am ready for long walks and relaxing for all energy needs. I am not able to bring pets into my home, but will happily visit or stay at your pets home to fulfill any needs.

About: I decided to try letting a husky pull me on roller blades 27 years ago, and a bond was created that I am convinced was the greatest thing ever. I became an aspiring writer and began researching dogs, playing with them and loving them all the same. I understood that some people just had that dog thing, but I wanted to know why. Still working on my writing, and still researching, I started roller blading around Webster lake with a rescue puppy this past year. I remembered the incredible joys that a dog would have discovering the freedom, and it's really incredible. I don't claim to be a dog whisperer, but I have learned from studying dog behaviors and personalities. Honey has been incredible this season. Some dogs would rather just sniff, and it's arguably the most incredible of dog traits. Sometimes finding the space to run can be a challenge, but even just on a walk, it's all about giving them the chance to choose when you can. I have been an educator as a substitute and a paraprofessional, and enjoyed 20 years with a number of schools and institutions. Coaching tennis, track, and rock climbing, I love giving new experiences. As director for an adventure camp or as recreation games coordinator, I was able to incorporate a team into all the fun. Relying on the service industry for work, I have developed my communication skills in many fields. 3 years working for the May Institute with adults with severe disabilities gained me a humility not found elsewhere. In the Healthcare industry I found incredible individuals who just fit their calling, and you were better for being around them. The last 2 years I have traveled the state as a licensed pest technician solving homeowner problems, and keeping people safe. I enjoyed being a source of information, and health, and was careful to appreciate coming into someone's home and life. I'm currently planning on returning to school to attain my message therapy certification and utilize my background in health. It's a good plan with modification, and I am hopeful that Amazon flexibility will help. I'm the kind of person who starts with a smile, and believes that kindness is always an option. I understand that taking care of your animals and home is a sacred thing, and I will remain transparent and available. I'm currently working for Amazon, Sunday through Wednesday, and have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday completely free for services. Additionally I can be available for any other days with proper notice, due to Amazon's flexibility with their scheduling. Our yard is fenced in, and our two rescue dogs enjoy their space very much playing and running around. Our 16 year old cat enjoys being an inside/outside cat very much, and has adapted to our precocious new additions. Our back door is opened frequently.

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life and can't imagine my life without them. I will treat your animals with as much love and compassion as if they were my own pet. I am available full time on the weekends but I am out of the house around 8:00-1:00 because I am working at a summer school. I will follow your instructions with the greatest care and I will do everything I can to make your pet feel safe and happy. Can't wait to meet your furry friends!

About: Hi! I’m a fun, energetic 22-year-old animal lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life and now has a 1-year-old cat who is truly my best friend 🐾 I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities—walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. Being a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s an active pup or a cuddly cat, your pet will get plenty of attention, patience, and care with me Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m already used to structuring my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and check-ins because I care for my own 1-year-old cat every day. I’m home often and plan my schedule to make sure pets get consistent attention, exercise, and companionship rather than quick drop-ins. Caring for animals is already part of my lifestyle, not something I squeeze in. I ensure that they are always well fed, looked after, and cared for to the best of my abilities. I love making sure that my pets are having fun and are safe.

About: I love to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I will give them all the love and attention to help them pass the time until you’re home. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of flexibility in my work schedule. Part time also allows me to provide care on days that I am working. Any rules or boundaries set by you will be honored. I will respect your home and your pets and provide the care you know they deserve.

About: I have been drawn to the world of animals since I was a young girl. I've always been the type of person to move a spider back outside. That's why I'm a perfect fit for you and your fuzzy family! Not only will you receive reliable, trustworthy care for your pets, but you also get the comfort of routine, consistency and dependability. I have 4 years of experience working with dog and cats of any size and kind. It is truly my passion as animals have guided me to becoming who I am today. If you're looking for help with a strict medication schedule, potty breaks, dietary restrictions, allergens then I'm your gal! I am very thorough with any care I provide through communication and observing any odd/new behaviors. I have experience with dog walking, pet sitting, drop-in's and group hiking activities. I am currently working towards becoming a professional dog trainer and obtaining my Pet CPR certification. I believe having a strong relationship with the pets I care for is incredibly important. I am currently working part-time. I am going to school for my Professional Dog Training certificate. My goal is to eventually use word of mouth and networking skills to be able to care for animals full-time until my classes are done. I have 2 cats and a dog as well as 2 young boys. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. Shes very outgoing, bubbly and has the best friendly personality. I can bring her with me for socialization, or if you have a solo preferred pup she can stay home! We are very active, always going on hikes or walks around the neighborhood.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life since I was a baby, mostly large dogs so I know how to handle them and care for them. I’m able to administer medication if necessary, and I’m patient and attentive, so I can make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I understand each pet has their own personality and routine, so I always follow owners instructions carefully to minimize stress and keep things consistent. I currently work full time as a bartender, so my mornings and early afternoons are totally open for any care. Nights are a little harder as I get out pretty late. I have 3 cats of my own, I have to administer medication to one of them twice a day, and monitor his litter box use as he has chronic urinary blockages. I am able to feed, clean litter, walk and play with clients pets.

About: I am in the middle of a career shift and have some additional free time on my hands and would love to turn my love of dogs into a little extra cheese... "who said cheese, can I haz some cheese". If you dog is in need of some extra walks, I am your man to keep that pup happy. I will be going to class in the evening, I can come over and walk your pet between 9:30am and 3:30pm. I regularly walk my own dogs over 2 miles everyday I am a loving a trustworthy person who has had or been around pets for over 20 years. I promise to treat your pet as if they were my own

“Samantha has been doing a great job taking care of our puppy during a time of transition. He’s adjusting to having us home less on certain days and it gives us peace of mind to know he is well cared for.”
