Dog Walking Redding Ridge

About: I have been a devoted pet owner for over 18 years, providing me with a lifetime of experience in understanding animal behavior and needs. Throughout the years, I have provided reliable pet-sitting services for friends and neighbors, specializing in both daily drop-ins and long-term care. I currently balance a flexible part-time schedule, which allows me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the week. I am fully available for walks or drop-in visits everyday. Because my schedule is consistent, you can rely on me for timely feedings, exercise, and companionship without rush Safety is my top priority when caring for animals. In my home, I provide a secure environment with plenty of supervised space for play and relaxation. When visiting your home, I am extremely diligent about double-checking locks, securing gates, and following your specific household rules. I believe in clear communication and will provide frequent photo updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: I am a life long dog lover with many years of experience taking care of dogs as well as fostering dogs in need! I believe boarding should feel less like a kennel and more like your dog is staying with family. That's why I keep my boarding groups small, so every dog gets plenty of individual attention, affection, playtime, and space to relax. Your dog becomes part of the household while they're here not just another dog on the schedule. Dogs are welcome to make themselves completely at home. They can curl up on the couch, nap on the bed, play with friends, or find a quiet place to relax when they've had enough excitement. And when they're ready for an adventure, there's plenty of that too! A typical stay can include walks, outdoor play, trips around town, dog-park adventures when appropriate, and lots of one-on-one attention. My goal is simple, when you go on vacation, your dog gets a vacation too. Dog sitting is my full-time focus, which means your dog isn't being squeezed into my schedule—they're part of it! Being home and available throughout the day allows me to give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, walks, and, of course, plenty of time to relax and make themselves at home. Because I intentionally keep my boarding groups small, I'm able to get to know each dog's individual personality and routine and adjust their day around what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Whether your pup wants to play, explore, follow me around the house, curl up on the couch, or just enjoy some quiet time, I'm here to make their stay feel as much like home as possible. When your dog stays with me, caring for them isn't something I do around my day, it's my day! 🐶❤️ I intentionally keep my boarding groups small. Fewer dogs means more individual attention, easier supervision, more personalized care, and a calmer home environment. It also allows me to get to know each dog's personality and routine instead of treating every stay the same. Whether your dog wants to spend the afternoon playing with friends, following me around the house, exploring outside, or snoozing on the couch, I want them to feel comfortable being themselves.

“Very professional and caring. 100% recommend. Communicates well and updates often.”

About: My husband and I live in a cabin in the woods (literally!) and have been dog owners our whole lives. We have our own 12 year old mixed breed dog and a fenced in back yard area for the dogs to mingle and do business as they please. My husband works from home and makes his own schedule, so we make sure your pet(s) are getting the care and attention they need. We also do not take more than one dog sitting gig at a time so that our dog and your dog(s) establish a pack and are comfortable and safe in our home. My husband works from home 5 days a week and makes his own schedule. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and any weekend travel is updated through our app months in advance We are hyper aware of any changes in your pets disposition, eating and drinking behavior, and we always pick up #2 from our yard so we are very in-tune to any changes in the bathroom department 🤣. We know first-hand that it can be stressful leaving your pet at an unfamiliar home and find that having another dog around (as well as a dog cam in the house) helps them relax while also allowing us to make sure they’re adjusting okay even if we are out running errands. We make sure that the dogs are never home alone for longer than 4 hours maximum, and are well exercised before any time they’re left alone. We also do let them sleep on the couches and make sure they get plenty of cuddles during their stay with us.

About: I’m a serial long-term pet sitter, and have been pet sitting through Rover for several years! Our family- myself, my partner, Will, our 9 year old son & 5 year old daughter- are huge animal fans! I’ve owned dogs, cats, fish, and lizards myself. We currently have an outgoing, friendly, & vocal black cat named Calzone and a Tetra tank we affectionately call “The Kids”. I am the go-to pet sitter for several family members, friends, and neighbors. We have had pets stay with us for long term stays. So, long term & frequent stays are A-OK… your pet will be cared for like part of the family. I am comfortable caring for farm/hobby farm animals at your home as well. We moved to Bethel (Will & I grew up in the area) in 2024 from our home in Fairfield where we lived for almost 10 years & where I started with Rover! Our home is a single family farmhouse with a huge open yard, meadow, and ponds, abutting wooded trails and a short walk to Huntington Park. Our yard is not fenced, and although our street is relatively quiet, we always are with our visitor dogs when outside. Dogs with strong prey drive might not be a good fit for stays at our house, but could be a great fit for care in your home, walks, etc.

“Stephen was great! Our Ridgeback had a great walk and Stephen was able to handle him well.”

About: I've grown up with a variety of animals my whole life, including dogs, cats, and farm animals. Although I have little experience with pet sitting, I'm very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and cats. I'm currently working 2 part-time jobs as a barista, however I'm super flexible as my work schedule changes from week to week. Besides that I like to go to the gym and spend time with my chickens as much as I can. Around that I still have plenty of free time to start pet sitting. I love spending time and playing with pets, so a lot of what I would do is keep your pet company and engage with them as much as I can. With dogs I would play fetch outside if possible and with cats I would run them around with whatever toys they have. As well as, making sure the animals have enough food / water and keeping their home as clean as possible.

About: I have taken care of many, many dogs. I can also come whenever and multiple times a day! No issue! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love taking care of them. I can take care of them at any time. Never too early or too late. I can come multiple times a day or just once! Whatever is needed. I ensure to always have them on leash and in a fenced area. If I am walking the dog and a car comes I ensure s/he is in between my legs. I can also crate the dog if needed.

“Great dog walker!”

About: Big dogs and little dogs are all happy dogs. I enjoy taking care of and spending time with animals. I have had experience since my childhood I will be more active in my life physically walking them and taking care of them. It’s a perfect job cute animals and taking care of them for money. It’s perfect. I will take the best care of your pet at your home. Just let me know if they need something or have a certain routine and I got it!

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and have always had a natural love for caring for them. Through pet sitting and caring for dogs and other animals, I have gained hands-on experience providing daily walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive to every animal’s unique needs, and I enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make a positive impact by giving every pet the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. As a full-time student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care. I attend classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with my school day ending at 12:00 PM, so I’m available for pet visits and sitting after that time. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and throughout the weekends, I’m available any time. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. I can provide a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for pets in my home. My property features a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised playtime and exercise, as well as a built-in kennel under my porch that’s spacious enough to comfortably accommodate even very large dogs. I always make sure pets have a secure, clean, and loving place to relax while they’re in my care. If your pet is more comfortable staying in their own home, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I can stop by for drop-in visits or provide in-home pet sitting to handle feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, so I’m happy to provide whichever care option works best for your family.

About: Over the past 10 years , I have gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes.

I can crate dog if required but we do have outdoor leash with long distance. Normally we take dog to park to play or stay in the ac to play

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats since I could walk, so caring for animals has always felt second nature. I also volunteer as a dog walker, socializer, and trainer at Danbury Animal Welfare Society, where I work with dogs of different temperaments, energy levels, and needs. My style is calm, patient, and attentive, whether your dog needs a real exercise walk, your cat needs a quiet check-in, or your older pet just needs someone gentle and consistent. I know trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal, so I take reliability seriously. I’ll show up when I say I will, pay attention to your pet’s routine, and send clear updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I currently work full time, but my evenings and weekends are often free. I’m a good fit for weekend walks, evening check-ins, drop-in visits, and occasional pet care when your regular routine needs extra support. Because I value reliability, I only accept bookings I know I can show up for fully and on time. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, routines, and boundaries, and I never force interactions with people, dogs, or unfamiliar situations. For walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe areas, and adjust the pace to the dog’s age, energy, and temperament. I’m comfortable with shy, anxious, energetic, and older pets, and I believe patience and consistency go a long way. For drop-ins, I’ll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, check food, water, litter, doors, and gates, and send clear updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have owned cats my entire life and have had my own beloved dog for 11 years. Working as a private instructor and teacher, I routinely enter clients' homes and have mastered the art of reading animal body language. I consider myself a bit of a dog and cat "whisperer"—I have zero fear or nervousness around animals, and pets quickly sense my calm, positive aura. I treat every animal I care for with the exact same love, respect, and high-quality attention that I give to my very own pets. As a teacher, my summer schedule opens up beautifully! While I will still be working with a few students, I schedule my lessons earlier in the day to ensure I have maximum flexibility for your pets. My weekends are 100% completely free and dedicated to pet care, and my late afternoons and evenings are entirely open as well. I am highly organized and communicative, so you will always know exactly when I am coming and going. Security, safety, and a calm environment are my top priorities. Because of my professional background as an in-home private instructor, I am deeply respectful of my clients' spaces, privacy, and household rules. I know how to keep a home secure, stick to strict feeding and medical routines, and handle any unexpected situations calmly. I excel at maintaining a stress-free environment so your pets feel completely relaxed, safe, and loved while you are away.

“Carlie was great with our “reluctant” walker and our senior dog too. Highly recommended-”
