Dog Walking Southington

“I just moved Southington. I picked Michael to walk my dog Bella. He has been excellent with taking care of her and making sure everything is done. His customer service is impeccable, he is reliable and he’s super friendly. I’m very comfortable with knowing that he’s taking care of my dog while I’m at work because she’s my favorite thing in the world. I highly recommend him. Thank you Michael!”

Thomas R.

“Highly recommend! Samantha is always on time, dependable, and keeps me updated throughout the visit. Most importantly she is kind and caring with my dog, which gives me great peace of mind. I’m very happy with her service.”

“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”

“Alex had great communications and provided timely updates with photos of our pup. Will definitely be utilizing her services again”

About: Hi everyone. I am new to Rover as a sitter but I’ve taken care of different types of dog breeds for 5 years! Dogs are considered to be humans best friends and I treat them like they’re mine! I provide comfort and care and help each dog with anything they may need, ranging from love, to energy and any special need care the owner may have! I alter my care depending on each need to each individual dog! I am comfortable around all dogs. While also having a job as an engineer, I try to make time for my animals even if that means leaving work and coming home to make sure they have everything they need! I also have days off that need to be filled with more joy and more animals! With a lot of free time, I can make sure your fur baby is never alone and bored! I’m also new on rover as a sitter and I’m super excited to start meeting new pets! I have 2 mini golden doodle puppy one named Tobi and one named Rylee. They are as playful and energetic as they can be. I provide them with attention and energy anytime they need/ want and they control my whole world! This would be no different than taking care of your pets too! Every pet deserves love so I will provide that level of comfortability! I adapt to your pets as if they are my own.

About: I have had dogs for 20 years. I have had 3 smaller dogs in the past (14-25 pounds). 2 were pug/beagle mixes and 1 was a Boston terrier/beagle mix. I currently have a bigger dog (83 pounds) who is a German Shepard/Australian Shepard/Rottweiler mix. I also had a cat growing up for 8 years. I love to spend time with animals going on walks, playing with them and making sure they are well taken care of. I have experience with puppies, adolescent and senior dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pet and be there to help whenever you need! I’m currently a stay at home mom and am at home most days. I have 2 school aged children and I have flexibility and availability in my daily schedule. I am open to helping out with any and all needs for your pet. I can come to your home and care for your pet based on what you specify your pet needs and your preference's. I am willing to do dog walking, playing with dogs or cats, and the general needs such as feeding and ensuring they have clean, fresh water. I will take care of your pet with the same love I show my own pet.

“Jade has been very conscientious in caring for my dogs and has had an intuitive understanding and playfulness in all of his interactions with Clancy and Schuyler. They adored and bonded with him as if he has been a family member for their whole doggy lives. More importantly, Jade is the first dog sitter in whom I have had complete confidence that he would follow all instructions regarding not only caring for the dogs but also caring for the house with professionalism and attention to detail. When you go on vacation, you don’t want to worry about your pets and house. You’ll be able to do that with Jade. He’s a very responsible, competent, and kind person.”

“Darya is always on time, always accommodating to my changing schedule as a medical professional, and always so sweet with my dog Wally. As a rescue, Wally tends to be suspicious of strangers when first meeting them. But when he first met Darya, he approached her with ease. I like to believe this is a testament to Darya’s positive aura. We are so glad we found her!”

About: Hello! I am so happy you clicked on my profile! Please sniff around! We treat every stay whether your pet is big or small, meows or barks - as a vacation of their own!! We tailor their needs and work around their schedules to keep their routine as similar as possible to make an easier adjustment. My love for animals has always been my biggest passion! Although I love them all, my biggest love is for senior animals or animals with disabilities. I have been fostering dogs and cats for over 6 years now and focus mostly on paralyzed dogs, senior dogs, and even ‘fospice’ dogs, dogs who may have a limited amount of time left on this planet but it's truly an honor to give them all the love and being there the whole way.

Then breakfast will be handed out and always fed separately from our dogs. Water of course is always fresh and always provided in multiple places within the house and on our deck. We have a dog door that the dogs are more than welcome to use that leads out to our deck and leads down to our fenced in area. Our home is filled with plenty of dog beds, blankets, and tons of toys! (Toys, dog beds, and blankets are always washed at the end of each stay.) You are more than welcome to bring any comfort items for your pet’s stay that will be of course laid out for them. • Updates are always provided with pictures/videos during their stay! I will always let you know how your pet(s) are doing while in our care and provide you with my personal number as well. • Your pets are welcomed on our furniture and do not have restrictions, unless you specifically ask them not to. We will be more than happy to accommodate to their needs and any schedule you will like them to stick to. • The items we do ask that you bring is their dog food, any medications, and written instructions you may have, lastly their vet information and emergency contact if you have one. • We have 2 acres and use long leads outside the fenced in area to play outside! Your pet(s) will always be watched and cared for, have plenty of outside time, as well as play time! • We always end our night with a short walk before bed and your pet(s) are welcomed to sleep where they are most comfortable! I have a an area in our backyard that is fenced in. We live on two acres or land that your loved one(s) can have access to and enjoy. I am happy to take them for many walks throughout the day as well I am happy to accommodate to your pets needs and will follow any directions you may have for your pet(s)

“Kelly was a great communicator on any slight changes needed to our walking schedule, and did an excellent job adapting to our middle aged dog's long and sniff filled walks. She also checked in about bringing her young (human) kiddo on the walks, which was exciting for us to make sure our dog will be used to strollers and kids for future walks. Highly recommend!”

Corey W.

“Katelyn has been coming to walk our young lab multiple times a week for a month now. She communicates so well, and sends us great pictures of our little girl from her adventures each day. We know that our pup looks forward to her visit and walks with Katelyn everyday, and we feel so fortunate for her help.”

About: I’ve been obsessed with animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets really sparked my passion for taking care of them. These days, I’m a proud dog parent, and I’m always the go-to person whenever my friends, family, or neighbors need someone to watch or help out with their fur babies. I’ve also spent a lot of hands-on time volunteering at local animal shelters, which I absolutely love Pet care is seamlessly built into the start and end of my day. Every morning and evening, I prioritize feeding, walking, and grooming my dog. Weekly, I dedicate time to deeper tasks like washing bedding and deep-cleaning gear. Because these habits are already second nature to me. When I visit your pet, my main goal is to keep them happy, safe, and on their usual schedule. I'll swing by, double-check that the house is secure, and scoop fresh food and water exactly how instructed. Then, we’ll head out for a good walk or have a fun playtime session. I always send quick text updates and cute photos while you're away so you know how your fur babies are doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve lived with many Australian shepherds-sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3. Dogs at my house are allowed on the furniture with free run of my ranch house-except for the kitchen if they’re counter surfers! I am training in animal reiki and would love the opportunity to work with your dog with this (only with permission). I have a list of hikes that I love to do-some very short and easy, others longer and more challenging that can be added if interested. I’m retired and flexible for daytime requests! I’m retired with plenty of energy to help out! I love walking and being outside so I’m happy to travel and give your pup some attention. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door to allow for freedom to come and go as dogs need if agreed upon. Otherwise, the door can be closed and dogs can be taken out only with supervision. The yard is large enough to throw a ball for fetch, and there is plenty of shade with large cedar, magnolia, oak, beech, pines, and larch trees. In nice weather I like to sit outside on my patio with the dogs.

About: I have been pet sitting for five years. Caring for animals and helping others in the process is something I truly enjoy; animals are my passion. I love interacting with them because the love they give is the most sincere love any living being on earth can offer—which is why, whenever I look after a pet, it feels like I am caring for my own family. Currently, I am dedicating myself full-time to pet care. I am dedicating twelve hours daily to care for pets and can also offer overnight stays. I can crate your dog if needed. I can also provide walks, snacks, toys, beds, grooming and air conditioning. I can fit your specific needs.

“Sara was awesome!! She came literally with an hour notice and my dog enjoyed her walk with her. Definitely recommend & will book again in the future. Thank you!”

About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine! Growing up, I was the neighborhood’s go to pet sitter, doing everything from feeding, walking, and bathing dogs to making sure local cats were well cared for and loved. Over the past five years, I’ve expanded my hands-on experience by fostering rescue dogs through a local shelter. I’ve cared for pets across every stage of life from 10 week old puppies requiring extra patience and routine, to gentle seniors and cats who love a calm, comfortable space. Why Choose Me: • Experienced with Dogs & Cats: Comfortable with energy levels, playtime, feeding schedules, and unique personalities for both dogs and cats. • Shelter & Foster Background: Attentive to animal body language, respecting boundaries, and managing distinct temperaments. • Dependable & Detail-Oriented: I strictly stick to your pet’s routine, house rules, and care preferences so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. Whether your fur baby needs an energetic walk, structured feeding, or cuddles during a drop-in visit, I treat every pet in my care like my own! I work part-time at night just a few days a week, which leaves my daytime hours completely open! Whether your pup needs midday walks and playtime, or your cat needs dedicated drop-in visits, feeding, and extra attention, I have near open weekday and weekend daytime availability to give your pets all the care and cuddles they need. While I don’t currently have pets of my own in my home, my condominium is extremely pet-friendly with plenty of open, grassy space for walks, exercise, and playtime! If you’d like your dog to socialize, there are many friendly neighborhood pups to meet and if they prefer solo space, that’s completely fine, too. Most importantly, I am extremely respectful of your specific rules, timelines, and care routines, and I 100% guarantee your instructions will always be followed to the letter!

“Ally was amazing. Duchess can be a little shy around new people but she warmed up to Ally quickly which put me at ease having to leave my pup for so long. Ally was easy to work with, flexible with my schedule, and was always punctual and communicative. She walked, fed, watered, and medicated my dog for a week and I never worried about Duchess being taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
