Dog Walkers in Stafford Springs, CT

About: Been taking care of dogs for 6 years now. Have had experience training two of my own dogs and taking care of them/walking them on my own. I also work alongside with my father (also named Luis ) who has been doing dog boarding for about 2 years now. Me and my father are very used to the behavior of dogs and comfortable with dogs no matter the size or the breed of your dog. I have always had a strong love and a passion for animals, especially dogs I am currently a college student looking to make a little bit extra money by taking care of dogs. If I cannot look after the dog, my dad also takes care of dogs and is always available Me and my father don't live in a very busy neighborhood so you don't have to worry about your dog being unsafe. We have a relatively big house and also have a park very close to my house with a big open field and fence for the dogs to run around in were I can walk your dog and play with them to keep them busy without the risk of them getting hurt. I also have many toys for your dogs to play with if you would like for me to have them get a more fun experience instead of just walking them.

“Chelsea is amazing!! So reliable, enthusiastic, and trustworthy. I couldn’t be happier with her, my dogs love her and she loves them. Thank you, Chelsea!”

“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: 🐾 Hi, I'm Jen! 🐾 Dogs have always been the center of my life. As a devoted dog owner and active dog rescue volunteer, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My rescue work has given me hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need a little extra patience, understanding, and special care. I believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pup needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in visit while you're at work, medication administration, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I will care for them as if they were my own. Safety, reliability, and communication are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care, so I always provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, comfortable, and loved, while giving you confidence that they are in caring and experienced hands. 🐶 Services Offered: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • Feeding & Fresh Water • Medication Administration (if needed) • Puppy Potty Breaks • Senior Dog Care • Playtime, Enrichment & Companionship I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet—I can't wait to meet your pup! 🐾💕 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. As a lifelong pet owner and active rescue volunteer, caring for animals is something I do every day. My routine revolves around feeding, exercising, monitoring, and spending quality time with pets, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met. Because animals are already such an important part of my lifestyle, I am able to provide dependable, attentive care and easily incorporate dog walks and drop-in visits into my schedule. Caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about. Safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always make sure animals are secure, supervised, and comfortable in their surroundings. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and needs so they feel safe and stress-free while in my care. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and consistent updates, so pet parents always know how their pets are doing. I also aim to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel at ease, whether we’re on a walk or during a drop-in visit.

“Samantha was on time very morning to walk our dogs, was great about staying in touch with updates and photos. She was also super patient with our one pup who has been healing from a wounded shoulder so could/would only walk short distances. She was flexible and adaptable to make sure she still got attention. We were able to relax during vacation knowing Samantha was there every morning for our doggos.”

About: I love dogs and cats! I do not currently own a dog or cat, but I volunteer with Our Companions in their Adopt a Shelter program spending time visiting and walking dogs in local shelters, and I have volunteered at their animal sanctuary in Ashford walking dogs. 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.

“Ashley is amazing with our pups! She’s so flexible and easy to work with and always stays for some extra pets with our older dog!! We’re lucky to have her!”

About: I have about 3 years of pet care experience and have cared for animals for family members, friends, and neighbors. I’ve helped with feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’m athletic and love being active, so I really enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing outside, and keeping them entertained. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, so I understand the importance of being patient, responsible, and paying close attention to instructions.

I am very scheduled and typically wake up early in the mornings and am available at most times! I care for pets in the client’s home by keeping their routine fun, safe, and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of love, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and attention while their owner is away. I always follow instructions closely, especially for pets with special routines or medical needs, so they feel happy and cared for in their own space!

I spend all my time with shelter animals if I’m not at home, or if I’m at work I’ll be scrolling on Petfinder seeing what I can manage and provide for LOL Id love to use the term “gentle paw-renting,” but honestly it can be chaotic at times and you just have to go with the flow! I prefer to be chilled out with your little babies and just shower all the love, but if they need to go run around the block and rip some cardboard up, let’s do it and I’ll make sure your home is just as it was prior to my visit :) you deserve stress free and they deserve a nourishing and fun filled day!

About: My family got a chocolate lab when I was 8 & I have had pets ever since. I am a part time nanny of 2 boys, 5 & 9. I cared for their elderly dog of 15 along with them for the last year of his life. I am very patient & gentle, I do not yell or get overly upset with children or animals. At the end of their dog Madden’s life he had a lot of accidents & emotional needs. Cleaning up after him & taking care of him never bothered me. It made me happy to give him comfort & nurturing, especially at the very end when he wasn’t feeling very well. I cared for my family dog similarly when he was at the end of his life. I had my first personal pet Cornica the cat (pictured with the corn toy lol) for 9 happy years. She unfortunately passed in 2024 from a severe hyper thyroid issue that came on very suddenly. Putting her down was the hardest most painful decision of my life but it was what was best for her. 2 months later I rescued my two sister cats Ice Cream & Sundae from a local cat shelter. They are such wonderful good girls & I am so blessed to have them. We all love each other very much. My sister’s dog who I have cared for many time has allergies so I have experience in providing both medication & supplements to dogs. I also have experience with providing medication & supplements to cats as I mentioned Cornica had a thyroid issue & I give my current cats preventative vitamins. I love all types of animals including those seen as scary such as tarantulas, reptiles & snakes. As you can see I have my cousin’s snake on my head in one photo. I even like bugs & do not kill them. I added the photo of me with the dolphin just because it was such an amazing experience & dream of mine I was able to achieve. I work part time as a nanny on a rotating schedule, so I either work Monday & Wednesday during the week or Tuesday & Thursday. Weekends I am always free. Fridays I do work for my side business, I am a professional psychic for the last 6 years. I am very gentle, patient & cautious with my cats & other people’s animals. After my first cat passed from being sick so suddenly I am extremely proactive & even a bit hyper vigilant to make sure everyone is happy & healthy. I am very tapped into their usual behaviors & personalities to be quick to notice any deviations. I have lots of toys, scratch posts & comfy places for my ‘beans’. We play & cuddle all the time. Vet & nurses comment on what good, sweet girls they are. I make sure they get plenty of open window & enrichment time as well. I keep very clean litter boxes too to encourage great bathroom behavior & comfortability for them.
