Dog Walkers in Scotland, CT

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own since I was little, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to slower-moving seniors—and I’m comfortable with things like crate training, giving medications, and sticking to your pet’s routine. I truly love being around animals. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need lots of playtime or just a calm, cozy space, I adapt to meet their needs. Even with a busy schedule as a student-athlete, I always make time for pet care. I’m available mornings, during the day, evenings, and weekends, and I’m willing to adjust things to make it work for you and your pup! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get their walks, meals, playtime, and any special care they need... all while respecting your space and keeping everything tidy. They’ll have a safe space, plenty of attention, and lots of love!

About: I've had dogs since I was 10 and participated with their health care growing up and decided I wanted to be in the veterinary field from that point. I started pet sitting for a farm in 2017-2021. I went to school to be a veterinary assistant in 2020. I later got a job at a vet clinic in 2021 and started pet sitting for clients there on the side. I've had 4 years experience with observing animal behavior and know what to look for when a pet is feeling ill, restraint, nail trims, administering medications, injections, and treatments. I also worked for a summer at a dog boarding facility and have experience with observing play behaviors to prevent fights from breaking out in groups. I just recently quit my full-time veterinary assistant job in October 2025, due to workplace drama and still have some regular pet sitting clients from the vet clinic, but thought I'd give this a shot to widen my clientele. If you like my services, I encourage you to contact me outside of Rover! I can only take on other dog friendly dogs in my house because I have 2 myself. I'm willing to go to your house for visits if they're not dog friendly. I have an unfenced yard, so any dogs staying with me will go outside on a leash. Dogs must be crate trianed to stay at my house. My dogs stay out when I go on errands or out for the evening, but get locked up at night.

“Amazing!”

About: Hi! My name is Ana and I am a working professional in the area with a love for pets. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I’m great with animals and would love to give your pets the extra bit of love they deserve! Long walks? Bath time? Play time? These are what your best friend needs! Don’t let them miss out because of work, family vacations or anything else that may get in your way of your furry friend needs. Allow me to help and satisfaction is guaranteed. I am local to Willimantic, originally from MA. I will usually respond within an hour with my availability depending on the extent of the care requested. Rest assured your pets are in great hands and I’m excited to meet them! I have my own kitty at home and work with pets frequently. I want to be as respectful as possible of your home. If there is anything I should be aware of, areas you want me to avoid, please let me know. I am here to help support you! I am currently working remotely with a flexible schedule and so I will have plenty of time with your pets! I can’t wait to spend my time with them! In my home we have a relatively scheduled day for our pets with specific feeding and care times. If you have a particular schedule please let me know!

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, reliable, and attentive approach to care. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m highly detail-oriented, follow all care instructions closely, and prioritize safety at all times. I provide consistent communication with updates and photos, respect clients’ homes, and adapt easily to pets of all ages and temperaments. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I will be attending college until May, I am free most weekends or after classes. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed, and I only take on bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while maintaining a balanced routine, so every pet receives my full attention and dependable care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all feeding, walking, litter, and medication instructions carefully while prioritizing safety and cleanliness. I give each pet attentive companionship through play, enrichment, or quiet time based on their personality, and I respect their space when needed. I also keep the home tidy, secure, and treated with care, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I have experience with senior dogs & cats. I have experience also administrating insulin to older dogs & other willing animals. I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

About: I have been an animal lover since birth - growing up with two dogs and one cat. Today I provide a home to 3 dogs - 2 Yorkshire Terriers, and 1 Silky Terrier. My fur babies are the world to me, and I look after other pets just as I would my own, because they are truly part of the family! I have open availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to walk your pups - rain or shine! I am also available for limited hours on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a huge front yard and back yard and I have a portion of the yard fenced off for our pups to run free. They have their own kiddie pool to cool off on the hotter days as well as a canopy bed to relax in the shade. There are four trails within 10 minutes of my house that my dogs enjoy, we’d love to have your pup join us!

About: Hi, I’m Clara! Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny parrots to towering horses—and I’m confident handling everything in between. I have experience with: • Puppies and young dogs (training, socialization, and lots of patience!) • Caring for a dog with frequent seizures and special health needs • Working at a large dog rescue in Mexico, rehabilitating street dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sizes • Administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions • Senior pet care with extra attention and gentleness (my dog is epileptic so I know how to administer all seizure meds and the full protocol) • Basic training and reinforcing good behavior • Horse care from years of working in barns (feeding, grooming, handling) • Volunteering for a year at a parrot rescue, learning about specialized bird care I’m active and outdoorsy, so I love taking energetic dogs for runs, hikes, or long walks—but I’m just as happy giving older or calmer pets plenty of snuggles. Safety, compassion, and keeping your pets happy are my top priorities, and I’ll always send plenty of photo updates while you’re away. I’m currently completely open and very flexible with scheduling. I’m not working another job right now, so I can adjust to your pet’s exact needs—whether that’s early mornings, late nights, or last-minute bookings. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets must be friendly with other dogs, as I have my own, and everyone’s well-being is a top priority. We have a fully fenced yard for safe play and fresh air, and I love going on regular walks to keep pets happy and healthy. I’m very routine-oriented, so I’ll follow your pet’s feeding, exercise, and care schedule exactly as you request—whether in my home or yours. I make sure each animal feels secure, loved, and stress-free, with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection.

About: I once owned my own doggy daycare/training facility and absolutely fell in love with all my doggy friends. Unfortunately, a move caused me to sell my business, but now I am back and ready to get back into helping you take care of your furry friend. I hold a special place for puppies (as that is where the magic begins) but love to watch them flourish and live their best life at any stage. I currently have ample time to help your dog while you are away from the home. I am available most weekdays as well as weekends. I will care for your dog at your home as if they were my own. I love to give dogs time to sniff and smell the roses, as they say.

“Scout is always happiest on days he gets to walk with Rachel! She is the best to work with and our puppy absolutely loves her. She takes him for a nice long walk and lets him explore. Always updates us with any and all info and how the walk went. We love going through the pictures she sends us of our dog while she is with him!”

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience with both playful puppies and senior dogs. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always keep you updated! I’m a college student here in South Carolina who really misses my pets back home, so I’m looking for chances to care for other people’s pets while I’m at school. Spending time with animals — whether walking dogs, feeding cats, or just giving them attention — makes me happy, helps me manage stress, and gives me something meaningful to look forward to outside of my classes. In my home, pets enjoy a safe and relaxed environment. I have a friendly golden retriever who’s trained to stay in the yard, and a bunny who’s free to move around the house as he wishes. I make sure everyone stays comfortable and safe, supervise outdoor time, and always follow your care instructions closely—whether your pet is with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

About: I am a 21 year old stay at home mom and I am looking for a full-time job for pet sitting/ boarding positions to fill. I am a very friendly, dependable and responsible woman. I have past experience watching over family/friends pets and enjoy doing so thoroughly. In my free time I enjoy spending time my dogs who is a aussie-boxer mix and a 15 week old Dalmatian. I like to build a close relationship with all people and animals that I encounter. I provide pet care and dog walking services at my home which included feeding, exercise and play, waste clean-up and administering medications when needed. I can provide pet sitting and overnight stays to clients when needed, including canines with special needs. I can work with special needs pets (previously abused, shy, food-aggressive, etc.) With me, care is provided for special needs dogs, to include grooming, medication, and walking. If I am considered to pet sit for your fur-child you would not be disappointed!

“Sydney has been great and Winnie loves seeing her! She even went out of her way to meet up prior to their first walk to meet me and my pup! Highly recommend”

About: Hi! My name is Mopelola, but I exclusively go by Jade! I have always loved animals and although I no longer have any of my own, I have a lot of experience in keeping them happy and enriched ! I am a student but all my classes are online this semester and so I am more than happy and available to watch pooches and kitties! (: I follow any and all instructions given to me by the owner in regard to dieting and safety restrictions etc. It’s important to keep pets and property safe.

About: I have cared for dogs, cats, goats, and cows for more than 20 years. I am known for spoiling pets a bit, and providing them with the attention they crave. I am available daytime and overnights! My schedule is flexible and will allow me to provide your pet with the the care and attention they deserve. I like to ensure an safe and caring environment for pets. I follow care instructions carefully and respect client's wishes. Your pet will be well-loved. My typical schedule is fairly flexible when I am not already booked, especially with advance notice. Please do not hesitate to ask me about availability! I like to be aware of how your pet usually behaves in your home, and what their typical weekday and weekend day is like. I want your pet to be as comfortable and feel that their environment is as "normal" as possible.

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years—from cuddly lap cats to energetic pups. I’m reliable, gentle, and always focused on keeping pets happy. I’m currently working part-time while going to Eastern State University so I’m pretty flexible! I’m primarily looking to work Mondays, anytime after 12 pm and Fridays. :) Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for. You can trust me to treat your furry family members like my own, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have a big heart when it comes to seniors, but I love them all from pups to seniors. I am loving, compassionate and gentle. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I also do a little grooming; bathe, nails, ears & teeth! I make pet care my #1 priority, whereas this is my primary job. I can and will make your fur baby my #1 priority when it comes to taking care of them. I am offering walks and check-ins for my services. When taking you dog for a walk, I will use the dogs personal leash & collar or harness & leash with a slip lead as well. Double the safety.

“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.”
