Dog Walking Storrs

About: I have always loved all types of animals! I have taken a few classes at UConn for canine and feline behavior and one animal training class. I own a cat currently, and I own and have alot of experience caring for tons of exotic animals from reptiles to amphibians and small mammals. I am very comfortable around all types of animals and I am excited to meet and care for your pets! I have volunteered back at home in NYC for SI Hope to care for kittens and older cats. I have done multiple dog volunteer days at the ACC so I am experienced with handling dogs and puppies alike. I’m also reliable, responsible, and will always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I am a seasonal worker so during the year I am a full time student. I have one to two classes a day as it's my senior year. I will have plenty of time to care for your pet and give them company! Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! When caring for pets in their own home, I will follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe with me. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure you can feel confident that your pet is in great hands while you’re away!

I would always make sure the pet is safe, loved, and well cared for. I live with my husband and son who are both animal lovers as well.

“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.”

“Ermelinda is truly amazing. Our skittish dog warmed up to her after the very first walk. The care instructions for our dog, Bella, was a laundry list and Ermelinda followed them to the letter. Your dogs will be in great hands with her. I highly recommend her services!”

About: Over the years, I've cared for my own four companion rescue dogs and many more cats. I also started and ran a licensed farm animal rescue for 17 years where I provided daily care for sheep, goats, llamas, chickens, turkeys and pigs. I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities and am comfortable working with special needs animals and giving meds. 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've had dogs since I was 10 and participated with their health care growing up and decided I wanted to be in the veterinary field from that point. I started pet sitting for a farm in 2017-2021. I went to school to be a veterinary assistant in 2020. I later got a job at a vet clinic in 2021 and started pet sitting for clients there on the side. I've had 4 years experience with observing animal behavior and know what to look for when a pet is feeling ill, restraint, nail trims, administering medications, injections, and treatments. I also worked for a summer at a dog boarding facility and have experience with observing play behaviors to prevent fights from breaking out in groups. I just recently quit my full-time veterinary assistant job in October 2025, due to workplace drama and still have some regular pet sitting clients from the vet clinic, but thought I'd give this a shot to widen my clientele. If you like my services, I encourage you to contact me outside of Rover! I can only take on other dog friendly dogs in my house because I have 2 myself. I'm willing to go to your house for visits if they're not dog friendly. I have an unfenced yard, so any dogs staying with me will go outside on a leash. Dogs must be crate trianed to stay at my house. My dogs stay out when I go on errands or out for the evening, but get locked up at night.

About: My true passion is making sure rabbits get the spoiled life they deserve! It is important to understand rabbit care and their specialized needs. I have two bonded bunnies of my own and volunteer weekly to help bunnies in need. I've care for cats and rabbits most of my life and very passionate about their well-being. I have had rabbits and cats for almost half of my life! I treat all animals with respect and like they are my own! Currently in school for dental hygiene and looking to fill the extra hours in my week helping with pet care in my spare time! I volunteer weekly with rescues. I love working with animals! When caring for pets in my home, everything is pet safe and pet proofed. Pet safety is my main priority because they mean the world to me!

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. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. 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 have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I work part time during my summer so I can focus on the pets I am hired to take care of.

I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and lots of belly rubs! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a quiet walk, I’m fully present and genuinely enjoy every moment I spend with them. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care routine fits perfectly in my recent schedule, since Im working on my own business and trying to work as a photographer. My schedule is pretty open for now. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their safety and comfort always come first. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with lots of cozy spots and zero hazards. I follow all your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to routines and house rules—because consistency helps pets feel secure. I also give regular updates with photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Your trust means everything to me, and I treat every pet like family.

The whole back portion is fenced but you are able to go to the front yard from the sides of the house.

About: I’ve volunteered on and off since I was eight working with cats and dogs! I’ve always had a bond with them and I love working with them. Over covid my mom and I decided to start fostering so I was able to really get a first hand experience with having a dog live with us. All of them required different needs and TLC so I feel like I have lots of experience with working with all animals with different backgrounds. I also have a cat and a dog of my own! The last couple of pictures is Marshmallow, my high school science teacher’s pet bird that bonded with me! Now I go in every April and take care of her when he brings her in. I love all animals from walking to flying! I work part-time right now and I have availability any time Saturday and Sunday. During the week I’m available after 5:30! I get my schedule every Sunday so I can be super transparent to you about what my schedule looks like! I walk my dog 2-3 times a day. When I’m not at school I make sure to feed her at her dinner time and take her on her after dinner walks. With my cat, I make sure he’s well fed and happy and clean his litter box at least once a day. I have lots of experience with variations of personalities in cats and dogs and would treat your pet as if it was my own. To make sure your pet receives the ultimate treatment, I would want to make sure I know their needs and may ask for a list of the things he/she needs. I cant wait to look forward to meeting them!
