Dog Walkers in Quinebaug, CT

“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.”

“Kaitlyn was AMAZING with my dog Mina. Mina is on the older side and has trouble walking sometimes. She took her time with her and Mina got a full walk. I cannot thank Kaitlyn enough for her care and compassion for Mina.”

“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!”

About: I grew up loving dogs and never having an empty home! I've dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors and loved every second. Im a lover of older dogs, but love to play with puppies as well! I love getting to know new pets - dogs and cats - through playing, walking, and scooping poop! I am currently open to whatever you need! Let me know at least 3 days in advance, and I will work it out for you! Being allowed into your home and to take care of your pets is a great honor and responsibility to me. I am open to doing some household chores and whatever will make your pets the happiest!

About: Like most people, I’ve had pets in my household my whole life. Unlike most people, I’ve also worked with a multitude of other animals—big, small, stinky, feathery, hairy, and more. So if your pet has the personality of a donkey or a chicken, I know exactly how to handle it. I can also administer medications orally or by needle and do basic first aid. I’ve been walking dogs since I was little and have a good amount of experience dog sitting. I’m young, energetic, and strong, so I can keep up with the crazy puppy or control a squirrel obsessed dog. I can entertain your pet all day, whether it be going on long scenic walks or throwing a ball in the backyard for hours. You can catch me wrestling with a dog over a toy and calling it a free workout! I’m great at following directions, so if there’s any special instructions your dog comes with, you can trust me to learn and follow them perfectly. I’m super reliable and love leaving my clients happy, both human and animal! This summer, I’m putting all my energy into making sure your pet has the best summer possible. I’m available all week for you and your pet’s needs, whether it be daily walking or overnight pet sitting. If you need more long-term care, I will be available this year after my college classes to help your pet with anything they need. And maybe you can help me save up for college too 😵‍💫 While pet sitting, I put all my energy into making sure your pet has the best time. I know it can be hard on them while their owner is away, so I like to fill their time with fun activities and loving cuddles. Just leave instructions for me and I’ll follow them. Your pet is in great hands with me!

“Thalia was fantastic with our puppy! Very prompt, extremely energetic and enthusiastic, and seemed to love the walks as much as the puppy. We would highly recommend her and hope to have her walk our dog again soon. Thank you!”

About: Amelia Massey Chorlton Introduction: Hello, my name is Amelia Massey Chorlton. I have extensive experience with dogs, having cared for them practically my entire life. From raising our family dog Daisy, a Golden Retriever, until her passing due to old age, to currently running a doggy daycare from my home, dogs have always been a significant part of my life. Professional Experience: I recently left my position as a manager at a doggy daycare, where I worked for three years, to focus on working from home. During my time there, I gained valuable experience in understanding and managing various dog behaviors and deepened my love for all types of dogs. In addition to my daycare management experience, I have also managed an intellectual disability group home, a position I also left to work from home. Personal Experience: I currently own four dogs of various sizes and two cats. I live in an in-law housing situation owned by my mother, which allows me the flexibility to separate dogs as needed. If required, I can crate my dogs and cats, ensuring that your pet will never have to meet mine if that’s your preference. Facilities: • My home features a fully fenced backyard that is divided into sections, allowing me to separate my dogs from visiting dogs while keeping everything securely fenced. • The backyard provides plenty of shade, a kiddie pool, and access to the garage, which is equipped with water bowls, food bowls, beds, toys, and is climate-controlled with both AC and heating for the colder months. Services: • The option to separate dogs or provide solo sitting for dogs with reactivity or behavioral issues. • Experience with senior dogs, puppies, and behavioral dogs. • Years of experience training my own and other dogs. • CPR trained and capable of administering medication to dogs that need it. Please consider me for your next dog-sitting needs. I am passionate and dedicated, and I promise to put my all into caring for each and every dog that comes into my home. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, allowing me to maintain a very flexible schedule. I am available for dog sitting, dog boarding, dog walking, cat sitting, cat boarding, and drop-in visits as needed. Additionally, I offer complimentary dog walking services when you book boarding at my home. In my home, I ensure pets are cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. When the weather is pleasant, the dogs can enjoy free access to the backyard, where they can roam freely and even jump in the kiddie pool if they wish. The garage is always open during the day, allowing them to move in and out as they please. On particularly hot or cold days, the backyard is only open for potty breaks. During these times, the dogs stay indoors, with the dog door remaining open for them to access their crates, beds, or toys. This setup ensures they can always find a comfortable spot to relax and play!

About: Although always a pet owner and lover, we have opened our home to foster pets over the last five years. We have had small litters of puppies, kittens, have helped train and socialize and can offer quiet space for shy animals to decompress. We are an active family and would ensure dogs are getting lots of outdoor time in a safe and loving environment. I have the benefit of working from home so I am always available. I have flexibility to take breaks if attention is needed, and have also had experience with plenty of middle of the night wake-ups for puppies not quite ready to make it through the night. Whether in my home or yours, I will always ensure to stick to the pet’s routine and comfort level so that their stress levels are low and their needs are met.
