About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 13 years for friends and family; 2 of those years have been 12 foster dogs through the American Lab Rescue. Right now this my only job so I have a lot of availability. I will take your dog for a walk and give them lots of attention. I will help your dog get to know me. I will take the time to teach your dog basic commands, pick up after them and give them lots of treats and love.

“Karinna was awesome with the dogs. Both dogs loved her and her dog that took walks with them everyday. I would highly recommend her and use her on future vacations.”

“Elena is a wonderful human being. She is kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. She communicates well and goes out of her way to be there for Nutmeg when I can't. Much appreciated?”

About: High energy high intensity dog? Let me help with matching their intensity. Consider me a personal trainer for your dogs. We work hard and play hard. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—from tiny Chihuahuas to powerful Cane Corsos. Whether it's high-energy pups needing long-distance walks (10+ miles) or senior dogs requiring extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. My background includes training puppies, handling strong-willed breeds, and providing gentle care for older dogs. With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy, I go the extra mile—literally and figuratively—to ensure your pet gets the best care possible! After leaving the corporate world unexpectedly, I’ve found a true blessing in rekindling my love for dogs. For the past 10 years, I haven't been able to own one due to my wife’s severe allergies, but my passion for caring for and spending time with dogs never faded. Now, with a completely flexible schedule, I can dedicate my days to giving dogs the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's long-distance walks, playtime, or specialized care, I’m thrilled to finally do what I love—helping dogs stay happy and healthy while giving their owners peace of mind. I provide personalized, attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my client’s home or during walks. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, playtime, and any special care like administering medication or reinforcing training. For walks, I offer everything from casual strolls to long-distance (10+ mile) adventures, always prioritizing safety and enjoyment. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care so both pets and owners feel at ease.

“Heather was amazing with our crazy, lazy dog! She accommodated his changing wishes and kept him happy and exercised! Can’t wait to book with her again!”

“Alyssa truly loves dogs and is so patient. Mine were shy at first but she got them to warm up and be excited for walk time with her. She even taught them a new trick! Alyssa is punctual and diligent and I can’t thank her enough”

“Dana is AWESOME! She is very thorough and loving walker. 10/10 would recommend her to walk your pup. She met with us before she started walking my pup, and my Ollie loved her instantly, and so did we!! She took notes on everything we told her about our pupper. She’s extremely experienced and gives a full report after each walk. Thank you so much Dana! You have made our days so much easier by helping out with our little boy!!”

“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”

“Cora was fantastic and my dog loves her! Will definitely be rebooking with her again!”

“Katie helped me out tremendously when I had to find a pet sitter to walk my dog Kava last minute, and she was absolutely fantastic! She was responsive, professional, and so kind. She was truly a life saver and I felt confident that Kava was in good hands.”

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am very well-versed in dog walking, feeding, and playing, and I have taken part in training all my family dogs. I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats. I have a 1-year-old wolfhound mutt who loves other dogs and people and loves play dates. I work in west Hartford so I can dog walk in that area T-F 3:45-4:45 Vernon areas T-F 4:45-7:45 pm Saturday and Sundays time are flexible I work full-time as a preschool teacher at the American School for the Deaf and am currently in my last year of grad school for my Special Education Master's. I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch. I am comfortable letting your dog in and out of the crate, taking them on walks, and taking them for a playdate with my dog if they are dog-friendly. there is a fenced in dog park in Vernon we can play at as well

“Rebecca is fantastic! Quick responsiveness, great listener, implemented all my dog specific walking requests (sitting down at intersections, etc), and is fun to be around! Freya comes back from her walks tired and ready for some play before a nap. Definitely recommend Rebecca. 5/5.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life! We had a family dog when I was growing up and I would house/ pet sit for my neighbors when they would go out of town. I currently have three fur babies. A 2 year old Cane Corso/ Stafford Terrier named Moose, a 2 year old pit bull mix named Oakley and a cat named Romeo! Having three animals under one roof has been quite the experience but I’ve loved every moment of the chaos. Since I currently work from home full time I’m available Monday- Sunday most weeks and my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Working from home allows me to keep a close eye on your baby and adhere to whatever potty break or play schedule you have set.

About: I have been asked to take care of dogs/cats while family have been out of town on many occasions I have 3 of my own cats and niece and nephew cat (yes) lol also two puppers that are family a newphie and great Pyrenees. Animals are my family and I feel happier with them than I do with people. Depending on location I can be available when needed. I work from home I can be flexible as long as I am communicated with in a timely manner As I have three cats I wouldn’t be able to bring any other pets into my home as they are rescues who have severe anxiety and to keep my fur babies safe I would ask that they be respected and I can only make home visits. Thank you !

“Charlie really seemed to like Joyce at the meet and greet. She was on time and because of heat Charlie did not want to walk far so Joyce spent the remaining time play with him.”

My schedule is pretty flexible, I can do drop ins during my day if I am at work.I do have weekends completely off. If needed I can do house sitting over night and during the days that I have off. I can take care of pets either at my home, and follow their routine schedule. I can also do that your home as well. If they go to daycare or anything like that I am willing to bring them there if needed. I can also bring your pet for walks and make sure they get enough attention.
