“Nicole was great with our dog, Odey, on his first walk! She was patient, communicative, and shared lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. Especially helpful given his separation anxiety. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Growing up with two dogs of my own, I've always been surrounded by animals whether it's through family, friends, and dog sitting during the holidays. As an avid walker, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, and I'm excited to share that passion with your pet. I take pride in being reliable, professional and always putting the safety and well-being of your dog as my top priority. If there's anyway I can assist with your pet's needs, I'd love the opportunity to help them stay happy and healthy! I work from home Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM, with a flexible schedule. I take short or extended breaks every 2-3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunities to step outside and care for your pet. I live in a two-bedroom, non-smoking apartment with no children, offering a quiet and safe environment for your pet. The apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park.
About: I use to have a dog named cloe for about 15 years. She has since past away 3 years ago. I am well versed in taking care of small dogs with big barks! I love small dogs/ cats! I work from home majority of the week ! I have an hour break as well during my WFH days and my weekends are open during these colder months as well I will care for the pet as if it were my own! I will make sure to give it lots of love and comfort as I can:)
“It was our first time having Hanaya help us out and she was upbeat and positive from the beginning. She cared for my two CKCS’s like they were her own. She shows a true love for dogs and her experience with them shows. I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was fabulous I expect at a minimum that dog walkers would be good with dogs, but what really makes the difference is they’re able to navigate challenges and get the job done. It provides a lot of peace of mind. Not only did Nicole navigate my complicated building but she got what was once a very timid puppy to be less afraid. Nicole is a star.”
“Alexa is terrific with our sometimes difficult dog. He loved her from the moment he met her! Alexa is extremely conscientious, keeping me updated on her arrival and departure and always checking his food and water before she leaves. And she takes the BEST pictures of their walks!”
“Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and picked out the cutest black Lab/ border Collie mix named Memphis. Growing up with dogs and living with dogs has been such an important part of my life. My Mom even says I love dogs more than her! Friends have trusted me to take their dogs on walks, house-sit and just go over for some play-time. I'm currently working part-time on my next venture and can work from anywhere! This means my time is very flexible and can help out during all hours of the week. I consider myself a very caring and detail oriented person. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, per your instructions. I also pride myself on being a very clean individual and will take great care of your home.
About: I’m an avid animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was 6 years old. I grew up with three dogs and a cat and was always actively involved in their daily care, from walks, feedings, to playtime, and vet visits. I currently have two dogs who live in Florida with my parents, since moving to Connecticut for work I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. That’s a big reason I’m excited to dog and cat sit — I truly miss having animals around and the joy they bring. I treat every fur baby like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I work a full time hybrid job with no requirement for being in office and also have half days on Fridays. If I need to be in office, I have an hour lunch break to allow for potty breaks and can flex my time to best accommodate your fur baby. If your pet is more comfortable staying at your house, I can drop by to let them out or stay over if that’s your preference. Whatever makes you and your fur babies the most comfortable. My roommate has a 1 year old Maltese Pomeranian named Dune, who is house trained and very sociable. There are space within my apartment where I can crate your pet away from my roommate Dune or I have space to have them roam if you prefer. I love to play around with animals if they like to play or I can hang around and read my books. Here to make your time away as stress free as possible.
“Skylar was great with my dog Karly, very communicative and friendly! My dog is often shy with new people, but she loved her right away! Definitely would recommend her for pet parents and will book again!”
About: I am a life long lover of all animals and am looking to share my time and dog love with others! I have experience caring for and living with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, so I understand how unique each one can be in their personality and needs. I work full time, but my hybrid schedule allows for flexibility to be available at most hours on my home days, in addition to the general early morning and later afternoon availability. On fridays and the weekend, I have open availability all hours. I always prefer to allow you as the owner the opportunity to share as much as you can about your pet’s unique personality and quirks, to ensure I can adjust my approach with them accordingly.
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog! She is such a loving spirit and I knew Micah was cared for during his time with her! She was super patient and caring even when my dog was overly energetic and hyper.”
“Ryan was responsive/communicative leading up to walking our puppy and seemed to take great care of him while on the walk. Definitely gave us good peace of mind, and Bogey (our puppy) seemed really happy, too!”

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Arianne. She was our regular dog walker for Boosh and Graham, and we are genuinely heartbroken that she’s moving away. From day one, Arianne was incredibly reliable — always prompt, on time, and extremely communicative. We never once had to worry when the dogs were in her care. What truly set Arianne apart was the way she cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly took the time to understand their personalities and needs. Boosh and Graham absolutely adored her, and it was obvious how comfortable and happy they were with her. Arianne consistently went above and beyond, whether through detailed updates, photos, or simply the peace of mind she gave us knowing our dogs were safe, loved, and well cared for. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her — we would continue using her forever if we could. We give Arianne our highest possible recommendation without hesitation!
Teresa was amazing with my 1 year old puppy! She had great communication from the start and made sure to ask thoughtful, thorough questions- even checking in about where I was comfortable having my dog walked. I really appreciated the detailed update and adorable photos she sent. It’s always nerve wracking having someone new watch your fur baby, but I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in her care. I’ll definitely be booking with Teresa again!
Katharine is absolutely wonderful! She’s reliable, caring and clearly loves dogs. My dog is so excited every time she arrives, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends updates and photos after each walk. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind!
