Dog Walkers in Sterling, CT

“We had a very chaotic week from an ER visit to the emergence of separation anxiety. Jessica did a great job helping us out and calming our nerves. She was great with our dogs and I would recommend her to other dog parents.”

“Sarah and her family are a joy and took such good care of Monty while we were away. We loved the note and photo they left for us at the end of their care. I highly recommend them!”

“Megan was so great with my large pup who has been anxious while her dad is away. I last minute needed help and Megan went out of her way to fit me into her schedule. Megan was communicative and detailed in her reports on walks. She was also on time and spent the entire 30 min+ with our pup. Would definitely book again.”

About: Because Your Pet Deserves the Best, Even When You’re Away. I will care for your pet small, large, fluffy or feathery when you can't. Sometimes things come up or a well deserved vacation... there is no need when you pick me to worry about your loved pet family. I will treat them with respect, compassion, and love they deserve. I know that they are missing you. I will make sure that they have their own mini getaway when I am with them. This can be a walk, cuddles, or just tossing the ball. I can do stop ins for potty and food.. I can stop in and take them for a walk, or just stop in and play with them. I love all weather and am prepared for anything. Snow, rain, cold or storm. I am a stay at home mom who like any mom I am ready for anything. Last minute appointment (we all know that unexpected things happen. Don't worry about your pet message me), cleanups, accidents, snacks,protective (nothing will happen to your loved one with me), and even fun days outs. I am a mom and I am always ready for anything. It would be a honor to be invited to your home to check in on your loved one. I am extremely flexible and would enjoy meeting your pets. I would always treat your animals as I would want mine to be treated.

About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens. I have no issues giving meds or helping with prescription diets. I have experience with bearded dragons and other reptiles as well. I can always send pics of my work! My labradoodle and his siblings somehow manage to befriend every dog we take care of and we always love new friends! I have plenty of references besides what is on here as well and there’s some before & afters of foster kittens I’ve done medical stuff with. I have 4 dogs of my own, a dorkie, a chihuahua, a labradoodle and a goldendoodle - we stay very active all the time. Walks, treats & playing, and my labradoodle loves to swim! My Labradoodle enjoys visiting people and it’s not uncommon for us to venture out just for a pup cup or a ride around town. I also have my rescue cats who I love! I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet along with a general practice vet and am always trying to further my education! Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!

About: I have loved animals all my life. I’ve never not had animals in the house, both cats and dogs. I’ve dog and cat sat a lot! I have a dog named Millie who is so sweet and great with other animals. I have 2 kids ages 5 and 6, they also love animals and are loving while being respectful of their space. Providing love and care for your furry friends would be such a fun experience for my family and I. If you need check ins or walks I also have a reliable vehicle to come provide care in your neck of the woods as well 😊 My schedule is pretty flexible. I am usually available everyday of the week and weekends! Due to the fact that we have pets of our own, we have made sure that pet care has a well reserved amount of time out of our day. Our dog Millie is one of the most social dogs we have ever seen and gets along with all animals, so during the stay your pet will have a built in best friend. Any special needs or care instructions are respected and followed of course. All animals are fed separately so there is no need to worry about any food aggressions!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I currently do not own a dog but I will in the future! I currently own a handsome bearded dragon and two beautiful guinea pigs. I do spend a lot of time taking care of my extended families dogs. (for weeks at a time) and I love it! I enjoy cuddling, walking, and playing! of course I will take care of all your dogs needs too!!! Whatever you need me to do I will do. I want the dog to be healthy and happy! I currently work part-time and I am available anytime after 12:30! I can pop in for daily walks or ofcourse boarding! My husband and two teenage boys and I really enjoy having a dog to love! We give so much love and attention and treat the pup as part of our family! I offer a loving environment for all animals. I offer a large yard for the dog to explore and get their exercise. We have a dog friendly neighborhood for walking/jogging! Dogs are allowed on all our furniture and are free to go anywhere in the house. I just want the dog to be happy and enjoy their stay!❤️Looking forward to the opportunity!

About: Throughout my life I have been surrounded by pets. I have cared for my multiple pets that I’ve had in the past from dogs, to cats, to fish, and snakes. I have looked after family and friends pets, before with great pleasure and happiness. At the moment I currently am available 7 days out of the week. I am free mornings, evenings, and nights, I am very flexible. I will always meet you and your lovable pet with a smile. Also the prices are always negotiable Whenever I pet sit I love bringing dogs to parks and playing with the animal(s). I believe that just as we like to stretch our legs, that dogs love running around and seeing the great environment of parks and their friendly neighborhood. I myself personally love exercise so walks and runs with your pet, and playing fetch, if it applies will be no chore to me. Pertaining to my family, they love pets and have had many before so when I board your loving pet they will be in a lovable environment.

About: I worked at a vet clinic and have experience boarding dogs and other animals. I've grown up with animals, 6 dogs total, and extensive work with farm animals as well. I'm dependable and haven't met a dog I don't get along with. I have reliable transportation and am very flexible with my hours. I also am experienced in bathing dogs and brushing their teeth, as well as some basic training. I can transport dogs as well if you would like for me to take them to a dog park. My home is extremely animal friendly and I will always do my best to treat your pets as if they are my own. Plenty of spoiling, within reason of course! All my pets are vetted, well socialized and very well taken care of. I have fairly open availability with minimal conflicts. Any pet in my home is not left unattended for more than 6 hours at a time and only if absolutely necessary. I have a fully fenced in pen in the yard with multiple water bowls/buckets available. I have a fully finished heated/cooled basement to keep animals separated from my own or each other should that be necessary.

“Amanda is very professional, punctual and knowledgeable. I came home to 2 tired and happy pups! Will definitely be using again.”

About: I used to work at a doggy daycare, and have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am comfortable giving medications, bathing, and in cooperative dogs even nail trims. I work part time in the mornings, and I have a few recreational evening activities. I am almost always available by 2pm, and can even stop by in between jobs at work. I am comfortable with using crates when needed, and I am willing to use my car to bring your pup to parks for walks. I also can provide mental stimulation with different kinds of play.

About: I’ve always be driven more towards animals, rather than people. I have 2 African mastiffs of my very own! And my family dog, Remington! She is a Rottweiler. I’d love to spend more of my time caring for other peoples pets and suiting their needs while also being a good suite for their parents! In hopes of building a clientele large enough to make this a full time success! I appreciate you considering me, as your pets, sitter/ walker! I have worked in dog daycare facility for 2+ years providing daily care. I gravitate towards shy/ timid dogs who need time to come around. I have some experience with senior dogs, walking dogs (leash trained is preferred). Administering medications, feeding instructions, etc. I am confident in providing day to day care and routine that you & your pet need. As of right now I have full availability (aside from what I have blocked off here on Rover.) Recently due to high anxiety I’ve had to resign from work. So I’ve spent my time caring for my own pets and others pets morning noon and night. I like to make homemade snacks for the pups, enrichment activities, fun outside (weather permitting), walks (as long as they are good on leash❗️), car rides for pup cups! I can administer medications if necessary. I prefer over-nights to be no longer than 1 week. I do crate my Rottweiler, she has found her crate to be more of her safe space where she will take her treats and toys and hang out just because she wants to. With that being said I am familiar with crate training if that’s one of your pets necessities. We stick to a very structured routine. All of my pets get fed twice a day. AM & PM, 2 cups each. With snacks in between. I make lots of homemade snacks as well as trying to stick to all natural! All of them are up to date on all vaccines, flea & tick treatment as well.

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since i was a kid, i’ve volunteered and worked at a doggy daycare for 3 years now. i want to expand that as i love and understand how difficult it is last minute to find someone trustworthy to watch your furriends! I have always cared for animals my whole life, and I have a pup of my own who I take on daily adventures making sure her needs are met :) I have my own pup at my house who requires exercise daily, I give her plenty of mental and physical exercise opportunities every day. All day long I try to make sure she is pooped when it comes to bed time. I also give her lick matt’s before bed time :)

“Super professional. Prompt, attentive, respectful. Chelsea has been very reliable and great with my dogs.”

“Rachel was super sweet, communicative, easy to work with, gave great feedback. Our pupper enjoyed the time :D”

About: I’m a compassionate and dedicated animal lover with over 11 years of experience in pet care and farm management. From a young age, animals have been a central part of my life, and my love for them only continues to grow. Whether it’s through my own pets or helping friends and family, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge and hands-on experience in animal care. I’m on a mission to create a rescue and horse stall that will not only offer a safe haven for animals but will also serve as a place for children with autism and special needs to experience the healing power of animal therapy. My goal is to create an environment where both animals and people can thrive, connecting through the unique bond that therapy animals offer. What I Offer I provide a range of services with your pet’s health and happiness as my top priority, including: • Nail care, grooming, and baths • Dog walking and pet sitting • Specially prepared homemade food tailored to your pet’s dietary needs I believe in offering care that goes beyond just the basics. Your pets will be treated like family, and I promise they will be in the best hands possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help! Thank you for trusting me with your furry family members. Please feel free to share your preferred schedule, here on rover and I’ll do my best to accommodate both your needs and your pup’s. Thank you. I have a partially fenced yard with a river in the back, and my two pups, Nala and Winchester, are here to keep your dog company—there will be plenty of activities and fun for your pup! For the safety and well-being of all pets in my care, I do require an up-to-date vaccination record for each pet. I also ask for a brief overview of your pet’s daily routine, so I can maintain their schedule and ensure they stay comfortable and happy during their time with us. Additionally, please feel free to share any important details, such as potential triggers, resource guarding tendencies, allergies, or anything else I should know.
