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 love caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with special routines or medications. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I recently moved to Connecticut with my boyfriend to start a new chapter in our lives. While we look for a new home, I have no work. I’m looking for pet-sitting opportunities. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! 🐾❤️ I’m currently staying somewhere temporarily while my boyfriend and I look for our own home, so I’m not able to have pets stay with me right now. However, I’m more than happy to come to your home and care for your pets there! I have a very flexible schedule and can stay for as long as your pets need, whether that’s a few hours, overnight, or multiple days. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and always treat them like family. I genuinely care for my neighborhood’s dogs and have provided overnight care, daily walks, and more. I always take the time to get to know owners first to build trust and understand their dog’s specific needs. With experience in basic training, giving medication, and reading animal behavior, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality. I’m reliable, patient, and excited to continue gaining experience, always happy to share updates so you feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My schedule is very flexible, as I can easily incorporate long walks into my routine, providing your dog with the exercise and attention they need during the week and extra care on weekends to keep them active and happy. As summer comes along, my schedule will be even more flexible, allowing me to watch pets on any day. I care for pets at their home by creating a safe and comfortable environment. For dogs, I ensure they get regular walks, playtime, and attention. I make sure they’re fed according to their schedule and provide any necessary companionship while their owners are away. I also maintain a clean space, like washing bowls and keeping litter boxes tidy for cats. My goal is to keep pets feeling secure and loved in their own home, ensuring their routine stays consistent while you’re gone.

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.

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.

About: I fostered kittens and cats until I was 6 years old, and I grew up around big dogs like mastiffs and pitties! I’ve grew up with cats my whole life and currently have one; I have owned a dog, leopard gecko, guinea pig, fish, and small insects. I have also pet sat a lovebird and bunny before!

I have a large back yard in which your dogs are free in run in, though not fenced in, and a spacious house with one cat that has her own space if needed to be separated. I also go on hikes every week and try to go on them every day, so I’d love to take your pet on long walks or just chill at home with them!

I love being around furry friends and have experience caring for all ages. I am comfortable administering medication with dogs and cats.

I would get details on each pet to ensure I’m caring for them the way they normally are.

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 experience with all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to bunnies and fish. i’ve been looking after animals for friends and family for years in always the first one they think of to ask! I am currently a student in college, but that means i’ll have more time to care and play with your pets. I’m available for drop ins, walking, or overnights! I will care for your animals as if they are my own, I will clean up after myself and them whenever necessary, I will monitor them and send you check in’s

About: ​Dogs have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by them taught me early on that dogs aren't just pets—they are full-fledged family members who deserve the best care possible. ​My deepest bond will always be with my girl Ellie. She was my whole world, and caring for her shaped how I view and interact with every dog I meet: with patience, genuine affection, and unconditional devotion. I understand how much your dog means to you because I know how much Ellie meant to me. Whether your pup needs active exercise, structured play, or just a attentive companion while you’re away, I promise to care for them with the exact same love and attention I gave my own. My schedule is completely dedicated to weekend pet care! Because my Saturdays and Sundays are reserved specifically for dog care, your pup gets my full, undivided time and attention. Whether it's active morning walks, structured play, or relaxing companionship, weekends are 100% focused on keeping your dog happy and safe. My approach to pet safety and care was defined by my bond with Ellie, who inspired my lifelong standard for how dogs should be treated. I understand how much your pup means to you because I know how much Ellie meant to me—which is why their safety and comfort are my absolute top priority. ​Whether in your home or out on walks, I maintain active supervision and strict security measures, from double-checking gates to safe leash practices. I stick closely to your dog's regular schedule so they feel confident and calm while you're away. Expect consistent communication and plenty of picture updates throughout the stay.

“Lorelai has been reliable and very communicative! My dog is so happy to get some exercise during the day he is having less anxiety and fewer accidents because of his long walks during my long days at work! Highly recommend Lorelai.”

About: Hi, I’ve owned all types of animals my entire life like dogs, cats, bunnies and birds. I currently work at a pet resort, where I look after pets every day, making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or feeding time. I treat every animal like my own. I’m also well trained in giving medications or any type of special care! I know how important your pets are, and I’m here to give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I currently work at a pet resort where I work all types of hours, from Tuesday-Saturday. I can work anywhere from 6AM-6PM but I’m very flexible with fitting you and your pups into my schedule! Since I have so much experience with animals, I’m okay with helping out with almost anything you need for your pets! Whether it’s cleaning, potty breaks, playing, feeding, medications. I’d love to just spend some time with your pet and be their friend! I do not take pets to my home as I have reactive animals, but I’m always okay with commuting to yours!

About: I am athletic and have always grown up around animals. I work at a pet boarding/daycare facility that allows me to get additional experience. With that being said, I have handled several breeds including different diets. I have handled Yorkies to Mastiffs and love them all! Puppies are the show stoppers but tend to lose control at times so I am willing to work on standard obedience commands as well. I’d be more than happy to play according to the dogs ability and health. I understand how important it is that animals receive their medications and meals at a timely manner. I am available most of the week besides my few shifts at my job. I am excited to get to know your furry friends!
