Dog Walkers in Somers, CT

About: I truly have a passion for dogs and their care. My family and I have always owned and cared for friends and co-workers dogs and other pets, and even some with challenges. Many years of experience caring for puppies to senior dogs and also worked in the pet industry, including as a consultant. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid and have studied pet nutrition as well as invested a lot of time and money in dog training. I look forward to working with you and meeting your dogs! Pet Care is my priority, and my schedule is open. I am hoping to grow this business from my home as I know that not all people want to board their dogs in large franchise style facilities and might prefer personalized attention, care and love. We have a long driveway, away from a low traffic road, a fenced in area with a doghouse and plenty of shade, a large gated outdoor deck, indoor bedding and crating when requested. Our dogs have always been indoor crate trained initially, though our current 2-year-old female yellow lab is well behaved and trusted in the house and not using the crate any longer. I have an intake form for clients- to ensure I have all requests noted for reference. Thank you for the opportunity to share my love with your fur babes.

“Amber is great! Charlie is usually shy when he meets a new person, but he warmed up to her right away! She took him on a nice, long walk and sent great pictures. I feel confident using her routinely going forward! 10/10!”

About: I treat every dog like family, not just a booking. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m reliable with routines, attentive to special needs, and always send photo updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. With me, your pup gets more than just the basics—they get patience, playtime, and genuine love. I work from home so your furry friend will have 24/7 care and interaction! They will never be alone. Me and my dog will always be here to keep them company. I have a large yard to keep your fur baby entertained. We do allow dogs on our couch. But they can also be crated if that is your preference.

“Wonderful dog walkers. Pat was critical to helping me successfully interview for a job (including full days of Zoom) without whiny dogs in the background and was highly responsive and flexible in scheduling. We are looking forward to boarding our dogs with them and only wish they had greater availability (but of course, top dog walkers/boarders are busy!).”

About: I will take care of your dog or cat like they are my own. I currently have an almost 3 year old Bernedoodle who I trained myself when she was a puppy. My love of animals started when I was 5 years old and I got my first dog. He came home in a shoebox and grew into 90lbs of German Shepherd that was gentle as could be with his little girl. Throughout the years I had several types of animals from hamsters to lizards I don't think I was ever without a pet! Let me be there for your pets, we will have a lot of fun! I run my own business so my hours are extremely flexible. I am able to take same day appointments with just a few hours notice if needed. This flexibility allows me to take care of puppies as well. Whether your dog is a cuddle bug or one that loves to run I am the sitter for you. I can keep them on their normal schedules while watching your dog and maybe throw in an extra walk or play time! I am great at following directions to make sure my time with them goes smoothly.

About: I’ve been a pet owner for life and I’ve cared for a variety of different pets! Over the years I have done many different tasks such as feed, bathe and walk pets. I love getting to know different animals and their personalities! I am available daily for walk and visits. I can work to tailor care to your animals needs depending on when I would be needed! Depending on your service, every visit will include a let out and playtime. I am willing to play fetch or just hangout with your animal!

“We contacted Giuseppe with very short notice the night before Thanksgiving and took care of our dog the next couple of days while we were on vacation. Very personable and professional. On time, really understood our situation and knew how to handle our dogs reactivity. We know that we left her in good hands the second we met Giuseppe and we will be hiring him for his services in the future!”

About: I have been around all types of pets my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs from Newfoundland’s to chihuahuas. I’m great with pets and have been responsible for cleaning, feeding, walking, and playing with lots and lots of dogs. I am a big animal person and want to do something with it in the future. In my childhood I would go to my aunts house often to take care of her 5 Newfoundland’s and bulldog. I would take my sisters chihuahua to the mountains of Colorado. Every nearby neighborhood I grew up by as a child knew me for my exceptional dog care and would want me to walk and dog sit for them all the time. It comes natural for someone when it is what they really love to do. I am currently self employed so I can make time or move my schedule around to accommodate your pets schedule needs. Open availability for right now. I give my cat lots of love and affection. I also take care of proper feeding and cleaning. Lots of experience feeding and walking dogs as well.

About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I have been volunteering at Our Companions Animal Sanctuary in Ashford, where I walk dogs every Friday morning. I am also in their Canine College program, taking and assisting in dog training classes. I enjoy using positive training techniques (treats and praise) to reinforce polite dog walking and attentive behaviors. I am comfortable walking dogs up to 70 lbs. I have recently retired, which gives me some flexibility, and I am participating in a Canine College dog training program. I love dogs, and I am looking for more opportunities to meet and spend time with dogs. I also enjoy cats and would be happy to house sit and/or walk your cat as well! My recent experiences with Our Companions Animal Sanctuary and Canine College programs are teaching me so much about being a pet guardian for different kinds of dogs. I am learning about dog body language and how to help engage dogs in enrichment, calming, and attention-game activities while in a home, in a yard, and on a walk. I have friends who own cats, and I enjoy getting to know them as well.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm surrounded by pigs, goats, horses, chickens, you name it! That early connection with animals sparked a lifelong passion for caring for all kinds of creatures. Professionally, I’ve worked as a dog/cat groomer and at a daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs, cats, and pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy puppies to senior pets who just want a little love and peace. At home, I’ve had cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, you could say I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love! Whether it’s giving a pup the perfect belly rub, making sure your pet stays on schedule, or simply providing a calm, safe environment, I bring experience, patience, and genuine love to every animal I care for. The only obligations I have are getting my daughter and little sister off to school in the mornings. So I'd have availability early mornings before they go in if needed, and anytime throughout the day and night to give your pets the attention they need. I have one female dog and one male cat at my home. We have a small fenced area i use for potty breaks, and we use the leash around the yard. The house is set back on a hill away from the main road. I keep a clean, calm environment, always follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and stay alert to any changes in behavior or health. I’m also happy to provide regular updates like photos, videos, or messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Building trust with both pets and their humans means everything to me. I treat every animal with kindness and respect, and I’m committed to being someone you can rely on, every time.

“Kaylee walked my dog daily while I was on vacation. She was prompt, professional and gave my dog a little extra TLC every day. She sent pictures and daily updates. I would definitely recommend Kaylee!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life—from horses to cats and dogs! I love animals and would be happy to care for yours. I’ve also worked as an animal educator, where I handled animals like ferrets, turtles and snakes, among others. I look forward to connecting! I recently graduated with an Environmental Studies degree from American University in Washington, DC. In the fall, I began attending Tufts University in pursuit of a master’s in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning. I have a relatively flexible schedule and would love to work with you on timing! I provide a safe, happy, healthy and fun environment for all animals. I follow all instructions given from an owner, and make sure that the pets are having fun as well!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life, including my dogs and many others, and I am holding to show yours some love! I am currently going to school for my bachelors degree and am also working for part time. I love walking and running so I can easily bring you pup along for some fun! I prioritize letting dogs have space to run and play and pay close attention to them at the same time. I can adapt to the dogs needs as well, which I believe is incredibly important.
