Dog Walkers in Southport, CT

“Lyris is awesome! She’s super quick to respond, sends updates often and is very flexible and accommodating! Highly highly recommend 😊”

About: I’m a college student at Sacred Heart University, and I have had a dog for as long as I can remember. I love caring for dogs and giving them the love and attention that they deserve. I am able to provide many different activities for the dog (see below) and make sure that their needs are met to the best they can be. Something that separates me from other walkers/sitters is that I have been training my own psychiatric service dog for over 3 years. I have minimal dog training and know how to handle dogs in a variety of different ways. As I am a full time college student, my schedule differs from week to week. I am free every weekend, and I am most free on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s I have two other friendly dogs, both about 30 pounds, Australian Labradoodles. Someone is almost always home, and we have a crate so we can crate the dog if needed. We have a very big backyard (about 2 acres) where the dog can run. Please note that the backyard is not fenced as we have an invisible fence.

“Great job with our dogs!”

“Rose walked our GSD a couple of days for us and she was great with her. She came at the time we asked and took a few pictures throughout the walk.”

“We met Shamika recently and hired her for several walks. In addition to being a lovely person, she is clearly very good with dogs, listened carefully to our explanations about his routines and behaviors, was really great about sending timely, detailed Rover cards and additional notes. She’s great- I recommend her and look forward to booking her in the future!”

“I can not say enough about wonderful Cece. She is taking care of my new pup and is the perfect person. Cece takes her on very long walks and even took her to the store to buy a raincoat because she didn’t like the rain. It just melted my heart!!”

About: I provide personalized care, tailoring walks and playtime to each dog's needs. With experience in training puppies and caring for senior dogs, I ensure your pet gets the attention and exercise they deserve. Whether it's basic training, gentle walks for seniors, or energetic play for younger pups, I adapt to every stage of your dog's life. I am currently in Nursing School but have a lot of free time Monday, Tuesday and Thursday! I love to stay active so I am more than happy to get in walks and hang out with your animals! When caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to each pet's needs. In your home, I stick to your established routines, ensuring your pet feels secure while you're away. For in-home care, I provide plenty of space for your dog to relax, along with enriching activities like playtime, walks, and mental stimulation. I also make sure to maintain any special instructions you have, such as administering medication or managing specific dietary needs. Whether at your home or mine, I treat each pet as part of the family, ensuring they receive the best care and attention possible.

About: Thank you for taking your time and considering my profile! I come from a beautiful island where all my life I was surrounded by domestic animals like farms! I love chickens by the way! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child! As a teenager I worked as a volunteer in several pet shelters and I also took care of almost all types of pets while their owners were traveling! I am a single mother with three children and we all love animals! We have a beautiful three-year-old dog at home and a one-year-old tortoise! ​​I studied nursing and have an associate's degree! I have a lot of experience taking care of children and pets and very importantly and the thing I love the most is preparing their fresh meals daily or weekly. I would gladly be your pet's Chef (extra charges apply). Currently I only work part-time for Marshalls stores and the Amazon company. I work one or two days away from home for less than 6 hours! The rest of the time I am at home with my youngest daughter! I am available to visit your pet at home and take him for a walk. Very flexible hours. Available All days I can take care of your pet in your house or apartment! Feed them and keep their area clean and tidy inside the house! The walk is adjustable according to the needs of your pet, for example some pets do not like to travel by car to go to parks or safe places to take their pet. In the same way I adjust to the routine that your pet already has in your community and safe and nearby places where I can give him a happy walk! If you need your pet brushed or bathed, let me know and I can find a way to help you. Just as I can take your pet to the Grooming appointment.

“Anne was AMAZING with our dog Ellie! Due to last minute schedule changes, we had to rework our dog care schedule but Anne accommodated to our needs and took such good care of our pup! We would highly recommend using Anne for any of your doggy needs!”

“Lindsey is an absolutely incredible pet sitter! She cares for our fur babies with so much love and attention, it’s like they’re her own. She’s looked after both our dog and cats multiple times, and every time, they are so happy and well taken care of. We trust Lindsey completely, and it’s clear our pets adore her as much as we do! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter. She’s truly the best!”

“Ryan is outstanding with animals and it comes very natural to him. I would trust him with my own dog’s life. Great communication and reliable.”

“Very personable. Baxter had a great time. Thanks again”

“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 !”

“Alexa was wonderful with our dog, who is a Malinois/Shepherd mix and highly energetic. Our dog is very friendly, but a handful and Alexa took care of her without any issues. We got lots of pictures of our dog playing and going for walks, so we knew she was having a good time while we were gone. We will definitely book Alexa in the future if she's available!”

“Annabelle was great walking our dog Mango! She was super responsive and took great care of him. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Gabrielle K. Is the most amazing person and has a unique ability to love and bond with animals - specifically dogs. Our golden doodle is 3 years old and I have entrusted her to pet sit, walk, feed, groom or just simply play with him since we first got him. He loves seeing her smiling face every single time and gets sad when she’s not around. She is kind, reliable knowledgeable and I could not recommend her more highly. -”

About: Dogs have been a part of my family since birth. I love them all and look forward to caring for your precious fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule. I have taken care of dogs ranging from 6 months old to 14 years old. I most recently rescued a 3 year old Rottweiler named Doug! I have a flexible schedule and can work around most times and days of the week. We all need a little extra help sometimes and there’s nothing more important than taking care of our loved ones. I will handle your dogs with the care I would expect a sitter to use with my own precious doggie. I am happy to adapt to any specifications your dog might need.

“Grace is so kind and sweet to animals, she is the absolute best. She treated my little hot dog like she was a queen, amazing person.”

“Inasia is GREAT! She responds quick, is on top of everything- even has a spray bottle for puppy paws. She sent pictures of their walk, gave me the cutest detailed report, and even ended with treats. Definitely will use her again.”
