Dog Walking Simsbury

“Our dog gets very nervous being with new people, but he took to Maeve right away! She spent lots of snuggle time with him and we really appreciated her attentiveness and reliability. And he’s happy to have a new friend!”

About: Experience with all dog types and ages. Also experience sitting cats for a month at a time. Excellent litter box cleaner and all around lover of animals. I have fostered several cats in addition to having my own. I have not personally had a dog, but walked a yellow lab puppy while in graduate school and have the energy and patience to care for animals of all personalities. Dependability is a quality I pride myself on and I will respect your home and pet as if he or she is my own. I have flexibility in my schedule and am at home during the work week. I also have flexibility most evenings and weekends. I have reliable transportation (personal vehicle). I respect a pet's safe space and routine. I believe that the pet owner knows his/her pet child best and will follow those instructions carefully.

About: l've always loved animals and have several years of experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog. I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, and personalities, so I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, l'Il make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Friends, family, and people I know trust me with their dogs because I care for every pet the same way I'd want someone to care for my own, with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I'Il always follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away ❤️ I’m a full-time college student, and most of my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking areas. Dogs receive regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day.

“Paula is reliable and takes an active interest in our dogs. She’s a great communicator and I enjoy reading her post walk notes. We are lucky to have her in our lives!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and for the last 6.5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of raising my own fur child, Melli Rose. She’s a black lab (my favorite breed) and is the chillest girl to ever exist. She’s great with other animals. I recently got engaged and am looking to make a bit of money on the side to help pay for the wedding along with getting to meet new pets! I work on a hybrid schedule—3 days remote, 2 days in the office. When I’m remote, I take my dog on multiple walks a day and would love to have yours join! I firmly believe pets are royalty and deserve to be treated as such. Nothing I do could ever repay them for their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love, but I’ll spend the rest of my repaying them with my love and affection.

“Tyler has worked so hard to get to know the nuances of handing my quirky rescue pup. His conscientiousness and professionalism is truly impressive!”

“Tara is wonderful. I recently needed someone to help walk my anxious and excitable rescue dog ( a 6-year-old Labrador-Golden Retriever mix). She bonded with my pet right away and was masterful and patient in keeping her calm and controlled. It was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my dog with a stranger. Tara made me feel comfortable leaving my dog and she sent me multiple photos and updates of her visit. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

About: I’ve had my own dog, Lily, for 12 years—she’s been with me since she was just 2 months old. Caring for her throughout every stage of life has given me hands on experience with everything from puppy training to adult dog care. I genuinely love dogs and feel comfortable with their different needs and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also dog sat for several families in my neighborhood. I’m now looking to continue dog sitting over the summer before starting my career as a Physician Assistant in the fall. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for every dog I look after. This summer I am only working in the morning on Saturdays and afternoon on Sundays, making my schedule free and flexible for your pet’s needs! I am expected to start my full time job in September, but I am happy to continue dog sitting for you when time allows : ) I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, crate use, and any special needs or medications. I understand that every dog is different and has individualized needs, and I am happy to help them in whatever way I can. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident their pet is safe and happy while they’re away.

“Very thankful that Jessica and Chris were available on short notice. They spent a good amount of time with my pup and provided some cute pictures! Definitely recommend”

About: I took a break from 2021 to present and am looking forward to resume. I have cared for dogs for my family and friends previously with great joy! They love me as much! Reliable, caring, and I like to walk. I’m retiring 1/2/20 and am looking forward to meeting and loving your dogs! I do have a small dog myself who loves to walk also. I am available to watch your animals on a flexible schedule. I live on a walking trail, close to a couple of dog parks and McLeans. A big backyard set back from the road. We enjoy being outdoors.

About: I've been a forever dog and cat lover and have jumped at the chance to care for pets at every point in my life. I'm now lucky to have the availability and flexibility to care for them all week long. I am pursuing my own business development on the side and am therefore flexible to care for animals for the majority of the week, other than at times when I happen to need to travel myself. As I am not working any sort of ordinary job or 9-5, I have a great amount of availability and flexibility in hours. I take care of pets in their own homes (at the client's home), and my services range from staying overnight to walking/checking in/providing breaks throughout the day, either on a sporadic or more consistent basis, depending on the client's need.

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and loved the attention. Thank you for taking such great care of Raven!!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for pets has always felt second nature to me. I also worked for a trusted dog-sitting business in my hometown, where I learned the importance of reliable care, clear communication, and treating every pet as an individual. I take the time to understand each animal’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship, I adapt to what your pet needs most. Your pet will be cared for like family, and you’ll always have peace of mind knowing they’re in attentive, experienced hands.

In both settings, my focus is always on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free experience, giving pets attention, companionship, and consistency so they feel happy and comfortable while their owners are away.

About: I have both worked with and looked after many sizes/breeds of cats and dogs as well as reptiles, birds, horses, rodents, and fish!

After graduating with my Masters in 2023, I am currently a part-time therapist and have flexibility in my schedule for drop ins, housesitting, and walking.

About: I campaigned to my parents to get our dog for years and paid for his adoption fee. I have watched several dogs while babysitting children as well, and used to watch my neighbors and friends cats and dogs often when I was younger. I have also recently looked after a few gerbils and used to own 4 guinea pigs! I would love to watch or walk anybody’s cats or dogs because I really just enjoy the experience of being around animals so much, they bring everyone around them so much peace and joy and are the purest creatures! I’m currently a sophomore in college, so I’m looking to fill up my breaks by spending time with animals! I am available from now December 27th through January 20th as well as most weekends because I come home from school. My semester ends in early May so by around May 10th I should be free until the end of August! I will walk and play with dogs, give dogs and cats food and water, pet and show love to dogs and cats I’m watching and anything else requested you usually do with your pet at home so long as it’s reasonable!
