Dog Walking Southport

About: I have loved and taken care of my 3 dogs during the past 10 years since they were puppies. In addition, I have also taken care of my friends' pets while they were traveling. I enjoy spoiling and caring for pets and will make sure they are happy. I'm currently working part-time time and I am available during a variety of times throughout the week to help care for your fur baby. Every day, I feed and walk my dogs in the morning and in the afternoon and spend time playing with them throughout the day. I regularly check if they need anything and make sure they get their medications on time. I will make sure to take care of my client pets in a caring manner similar to my own fur babies and follow all of my client's care instructions

“Very nice, my dog loves Kim. KIM HAS A great way with Gretel, very sweet and is right on time! I would definitely have her walk my dog again!”

“Our recent experience with Kris and Angelica, who cared for our dogs in our home for five days while we traveled, was excellent. They were responsible, punctual, thorough, caring, friendly, experienced, flexible, and attentive to our dogs’ individual needs. Before our trip, Kris and Angelica came by to meet us and our dogs, which made us feel much more comfortable. We have two large German Shepherds with very different personalities and needs—one is young, energetic, reactive, and challenging to walk, while the other is older, slower, very friendly, and easygoing. Kris and Angelica handled both dogs with care and confidence, and kept them happy and well cared for while we were away. I left detailed instructions for feeding, walking, and daily routines, and they followed everything carefully. Since we rarely travel without our dogs, we were naturally a bit nervous about leaving them. Kris and Angelica made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. They sent frequent updates and photos each day, and whenever questions came up, communication was immediate and easy. I highly recommend Kris and Angelica, and they will absolutely be my first call for future trips when our pups can’t come with us.”

“Avery is amazing with our Kaya. She has a friendly, welcoming personality and goes above and beyond. She made sure Kaya had everything she needed, she showed genuine care for our dog. I'm so happy we found this Rover app and found Avery. She was our first dog walker through this app and she helped guide me through the process. We will definitely be calling Avery to help us once she gets back from college. Thank you for being a good human Avery! Kaya can't wait to see you again. 🐶🐾❤️”

About: Having raised a young, active dog, I’m very comfortable managing high energy, playful routines, and keeping dogs entertained and happy. I understand how essential structured play, regular exercise, and gentle guidance are for younger or spunky pets. You can count on me to give your dog plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and lots of cozy affection so they feel right at home! I am a junior at Fairfield University, so I am available whenever I don’t have class and am not doing school work! I am a certified animal-lover and I would love to help make your pet comfortable and happy. As a student and a dog owner, I understand the importance of having a trusted caretaker to help ease your mind when you have to be away from home. Safety and personalized care are my top priorities. I have direct experience caring for a dog with IMHA (Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), so I am very comfortable and experienced with strict medication schedules, monitoring subtle health or behavior changes, and following precise care instructions. I create a safe, low-stress environment with appropriate enrichment suited to your dog's specific energy levels and medical needs.

“Kristen was great with Levi. He really enjoyed his time with her and their walks. She took care of feeding and walking Levi while we were away. She was very responsible and took pictures for us. We look forward to using Kristen again for future trips we have.”

“Tara has been great with my senior dog, Boss. She is very kind, gentle, and patient with him. That is something I really appreciate since his health isn’t great and needs the care. I would definitely recommend her for your doggy needs!”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds from as early as I can remember. Being the oldest of my siblings I was the first to have to take on the pet care chores, and this included both our dogs and our cats, and the other types of animals we had in our household. I have pet care experience with dogs and cats, as well as other pets too. When I moved out on my own with my previous partner (2012-2017) we had adopted three rescued cats, and I was the main administer of the diabetic cat’s insulin and late IV fluid treatments. My ex kept our cats in the split, but in 2018 I adopted my first dog completely on my own. She’s a rescue pit bull mix and now, with my current husband, she is joined by another rescued pit bull mix and a rescued cat. Last year we also adopted a red ear slider turtle off the street in Philadelphia and he now enjoys his aquatic terrarium with his guppy and pleco friends. In 2023 I briefly worked for a dog walking company in Ridgefield and was bit by one of the client’s dogs, unprovoked, and because of that I left the service after being blamed for the outburst and attack (despite telling the owners and the employer that the dog was getting increasingly aggressive with me and I wasn’t comfortable walking him anymore). It was the only time I had ever had an animal turn on me like that and it made me rethink working for a service where I wasn’t listened to or given proper protection. My husband and I have been Rover clients since we moved to Connecticut in 2023 and I am very happy to say we have never had a negative experience, which is why I have decided to lend my services to other pets and families in the area that are in need of an experienced pet caretaker. I am a professional actor so I have days that are marked off for auditions and work or rehearsals, however it is not a consistent time or place. I work throughout the Northeast, NYC, and the Mid Atlantic currently with my acting opportunities, but I am also open to short term travel as well. Because of that, my availability is very open some weeks and not as much on others, depending on what projects I am currently involved in and what the scheduling is like. I would love to spend more time your pets in my downtime and give them the attention they require, since mine are pretty saturated in it regularly. I have two dogs, which are extremely friendly and love other dogs, people, and cats! Our cat is very aloof so they wouldn’t be seen much in cases where pet sitting at my home is needed. Our yard is not fenced in but I am very accustomed to taking them out for walks, or having them leashed under my supervision in our yard. Because I live in Newtown, there are plenty of places to get some quality walks in, and we are also not far from open public dog parks either if that suits your furry friend! I also have my own car which I am more than comfortable transporting your pet in or coming to you for check ins or walks. Our dogs are up to date on vaccines so that is not a worry either, and I am diligent in making sure everyone has a great time when their friends (and our human friends) are over too!

“Marley is terrific. She’s very trustworthy and completely understands the needs of our dog.”

About: Taking care of Pets for 6 years during my summers off from school making sure that your pets are well taken care of and safe! I have plenty of time to play and keep company of your pets! Whether it’s walking, feeding, or playing. From early morning to late night. Always make sure that doors and grates are secured and locked when needed. As well as fences being secured or using a leash when walking.

“We booked Julie and then woke up to a lot of snow on the morning of the first walk. Despite the deep snow Julie turned up on time and was amazing with our young pup. Who she had walking beautifully in minutes. Raven loves you Julie !”

“Sabrina was so helpful! Had a family emergency and needed someone to walk my dog tank as he would have been home for 12 hours by himself. She immediately responded and was able to walk him twice today! She sent pictures both times and gave feedback on how he was on the walks. Thank you so much Sabrina, will absolutely be reaching out again when I need some help!”

About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut.

I currently have most weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for free for years, everything from small cats to large pit bulls.

I will not be boarding pets, however in my home we have a fenced in yard that we allow our dogs to play around in under supervision a few times a day and then he is taken on leashed walks at least twice a day.

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth (Ellie) Haney. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and over the years, caring for them has become something I truly enjoy and take pride in. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care that helps both pets and their people feel at ease, whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the neighborhood, or an overnight stay. I have experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including seniors, pets who need medication, or those who just need a little extra patience and care. I do my best to keep them happy, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you're away. A few things you can count on from me: • Clear communication and daily updates • Respect for your home and your pet’s boundaries • Comfort with special instructions or medical needs • A calm, consistent, and dependable presence Outside of pet sitting, I run my own small clothing business focused on mental health awareness. This work helps support that dream, and I treat every pet I care for with the same dedication I bring to my own goals.

I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free from anything that could harm them. I follow all instructions carefully—like feeding schedules, medication, or routines—so pets feel at ease and stick to what they’re used to. I treat every pet with kindness and patience, giving them the attention and care they deserve. I also keep owners updated so they can feel confident and reassured while they’re away.
