Dog Walking Storrs

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience with both training and senior care. I trained my own dog, who is now 12 years old, and I currently care for him as he experiences arthritis. This has taught me how to recognize signs of discomfort, adjust activity levels, and provide daily massages to keep him comfortable. I understand that not every dog needs long walks, and I prioritize each pet’s individual needs, safety, and well-being. I’m currently a senior in college, which gives me a bit more flexibility in my schedule, and I truly enjoy spending that time caring for pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to plan my days around pets and give them the attention and consistency they need. I live in an off-campus house with a front yard that does not open onto a busy street, which helps provide a safe and calm environment for pets. The house is spacious, allowing pets to move around comfortably and have their own space to relax. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I’m very attentive and focused on making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for. I take time to build trust, follow routines closely, and make sure pets feel safe and happy in my presence.

About: Hi! My name is Mopelola, but I exclusively go by Jade! I have always loved animals and although I no longer have any of my own, I have a lot of experience in keeping them happy and enriched ! I am a student but all my classes are online this semester and so I am more than happy and available to watch pooches and kitties! (: I follow any and all instructions given to me by the owner in regard to dieting and safety restrictions etc. It’s important to keep pets and property safe.

About: Ever since I can remember I have always watched animals for friends, family members, and neighbors. I have worked as a dog walker for a company where I was responsible for letting myself in and taking their dog for a walk. I also have experience in two different animal shelters. During summer breaks I work as a veterinary assistant so I am very comfortable around animals with medical needs and administering medications. I have also had a bunny for several years and have watched other peoples bunnies so I am very familiar with bunny care. I am currently a full-time student, with a flexible class schedule. Most of my availability will be after class is over usually between 1-3pm depending on the day. Some days I will be done earlier than others. I am free all day on Saturday and Sunday. While I am unable to board your animals due to my living situation I would love to take care of your pets in other ways! My biggest priority when spending time with any animal, whether they are my own or someone else's, is health and safety. When walking dogs outside I am always vigilant regarding our surroundings. Even when in the client's home I am constantly on the look out for anything the dog should could get into trouble with whether that is a toy or food item.

About: My veterinary assistant experience with small and large animals sets me apart as I keep a close eye on your animal’s health and well-being. I am not easily spooked, but I want your pet to receive the best care I can give. I am not a trainer, but I am comfortable dealing with some pets with behavioral issues. I want to create the safest and most comfortable environment for your pet, your sanity and myself! I currently work four days a week and have a three day weekend. I am looking to pet sit for people who are going on a short trip or need routine weekend care. I can be flexible with week nights, but it will need to be established well in advance. I am looking to house sit in the owners residence. My cats would not be happy to have any new comers to our family. I am very punctual with breakfast and dinner time, and I am typically one to spend time wherever the pet would like to whether that be indoors or outdoors!

“Sydney has been great and Winnie loves seeing her! She even went out of her way to meet up prior to their first walk to meet me and my pup! Highly recommend”

“Emma was so trustworthy and reliable in walking my dog Zoey twice daily when I was out of town for 10 days. I had left Zoey with my 86 yr old mother who was unable to walk her, so I was thrilled to find someone so capable.”

I am also available for drop-in care for some companion or pet farm animals. My routine is very flexible as I am a self-employed consultant and work remotely from my own home. I am available for visits in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I am currently available to do drop-in visits for cats and dogs along with dog walks. With dogs and cats of my own to care for, I’m not able to do overnight housesits.

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays.

My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past two years, and I absolutely love caring for these wonderful animals!

I also have two dogs of my own: a 2-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd and a 13-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I walk them daily, manage my senior dog’s medications, take them to veterinary and grooming appointments, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As of right now, I'm currently working part time so I definitely have the time to care for your pets! I'm fully available anytime on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

I also believe that open communication with pet parents is essential, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I'll always do my best to keep you updated and ensure your pup receives the love, attention, and care they deserve!
