Dog Walking Wallingford Center

About: Hello Rover customers, I have taken care of pets since I was a child and have taken care of my family’s fur babies since my kids were small. I am currently left with my senior cat at home but would love to take great care of your beloved fur babies. I am currently self employed and work part time during the weekdays. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate as needed with enough notice! I have a fenced in yard for my animals if needed but I am very careful in customer’s homes and make sure to not leave without checking my surroundings first so no animals gets out the door.

“Sabrina and Daniel were great walkers for our dog Winston! They were easy to communicate with and were very helpful. Will definitely use them again!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience, patience, and dedication to providing loving, attentive care, especially for senior pets. Over the past four years, I’ve cared for my dog, Pancho, who became sick and needed consistent monitoring and extra attention. I’ve helped manage his medication, previously every 12 hours and now every morning, while making sure he has fresh water and receives his meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This experience has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and responsible when caring for senior pets or animals with special needs. I also have a cat, Tyson whom I care for daily and feed on a consistent schedule. Caring for my own pets has helped me understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m comfortable providing extra attention, maintaining feeding routines, monitoring pets closely, and helping with medication schedules as directed. Whether caring for a senior pet, a puppy who needs patience and guidance, or an animal who needs a little extra care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I primarily work from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide consistent attention to pets throughout the day. I also work at a gym on Mondays and Sundays. I’m organized with my time and can plan accordingly to ensure pets receive reliable, attentive care. My home is smoke-free and has a fenced-in yard, providing a comfortable environment for pets. I also have a crate available if needed. Pets are welcome on the furniture and will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine and accommodate their individual needs to help them feel safe and comfortable. I do have two dogs, Rocky and Pancho. Both are males, ages are 2 years old and 9.

About: I am a huge animal lover and have spent a lot of time rescuing homeless cats in my neighborhood. I have trapped 20 stray cats, vetted them, and found them homes. From this I have 7 of my own cats. I also have rescued two dogs from shelters. One is a Pitbull and the other an English Bull Dog. Growing up I always had pets around. As a Special Education Teacher I am available all weekdays after 5pm and I have complete open availability on weekends and school vacations (December, April). I have no problem with high energy or needy animals. I am comfortable cleaning up pet messes, playing, walking, and providing medicine if needed. I will do anything an animal needs.

“Very professional and responsive and extremely understanding to all a new puppy owners questions!”

About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.

“She has been so patient and sweet with our pup. He is a nervous little guy and McKenzie has been incredible with him. We highly recommend her!”

About: I have had lots of different types of animal experiences since I was a child including always having a cat in the household and volunteering with animal shelters. My specialty is cats but I have a few years experience with sitting and walking dogs as well. I am always up for a new challenge and am very capable and adaptable. I have worked in many animal shelters, as well as managed a cat shelter and a cat cafe, so I am very comfortable approaching all animals. I also currently work at a traveling pet vaccine clinic and am going back to school to be a vet tech! I have a very flexible schedule because I run my own cat oriented business and make my own hours. My whole life is animals, so I love to fit them into my life as much as possible. I currently only offer services in my clients’ homes, and to ensure that their pets are always safe and secure, I am very on top of communication and checking in with my pet parents. I like to review all instructions together to make sure I don’t have any questions and know exactly what contacts are (vet, ER, friends) for emergencies. I always respect other people’s space and will leave things exactly as I left them, if not better. Letting someone into your home to take care of your fur family requires a lot of trust and I feel honored when someone allows me that privilege.

“Emilee was very sweet! She took great care of my pup Riley and dealt with his quirks very well. She was always on time and communicated well. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future (:”

About: Hi there! I am Ariel, and I grew up on a farm so have experience caring for all sorts of animals and all conditions. I was the family member who would create habitats for the sick animals to live in my bedroom until they were better. I have traveled the world by pet sitting for accommodation, so I have a ton of experience. I am experienced with puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, and administering medication. I love the outdoors and exercise quite frequently, so walks and outdoor play fit naturally into my day. Because I freelance, I can be quite flexible to build my schedule around your pets' routines so they always get the attention they need. Additionally, most of my work is virtual so I can work from your home while hanging out with your pets! I care for your pets and home as if they were my own. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication routines closely, keep doors and gates secure, and am happy to contribute to any house maintenance you may need while away. I'm glad to send updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing everyone is happy and safe. I am Global Entry certified, which means I a completed and approved government-authorized background check. I also have a valid U.S. driver's license and my own car in case of any pet or house emergency.

“Alex had great communications and provided timely updates with photos of our pup. Will definitely be utilizing her services again”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve lived with many Australian shepherds-sometimes 1, sometimes 2, sometimes 3. Dogs at my house are allowed on the furniture with free run of my ranch house-except for the kitchen if they’re counter surfers! I am training in animal reiki and would love the opportunity to work with your dog with this (only with permission). I have a list of hikes that I love to do-some very short and easy, others longer and more challenging that can be added if interested. I’m retired and flexible for daytime requests! I’m retired with plenty of energy to help out! I love walking and being outside so I’m happy to travel and give your pup some attention. I have a large fenced in yard and a dog door to allow for freedom to come and go as dogs need if agreed upon. Otherwise, the door can be closed and dogs can be taken out only with supervision. The yard is large enough to throw a ball for fetch, and there is plenty of shade with large cedar, magnolia, oak, beech, pines, and larch trees. In nice weather I like to sit outside on my patio with the dogs.

About: I have been around and caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and their individual needs. I’ve had many different types of animals of my own, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, and more, and I’ve also regularly cared for pets belonging to friends, family, neighbors, and multiple families. I’ve cared for households with anywhere from one to three pets at a time and am comfortable following specific feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications or special instructions, and each pet’s individual personality and needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet I care for as if they were my own. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently in my last semester of college, and my class schedule is very flexible with plenty of time between classes. I also work a flexible part-time job that I can easily schedule around pet care. Because of this, I have a very open schedule and can make myself available for my clients with advance notice. I’m able to stop by multiple times throughout the day, including before or after classes and during breaks, for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra company. I can be very flexible with drop-ins, walks, sitting, and boarding, and I’m happy to work around whatever routine is best for each pet. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I’m very attentive and will follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Since my schedule is so open, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than rushing through a visit. I’m also happy to spend extra time with them if they need companionship, exercise, or reassurance. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I’ve owned multiple shelter dogs and understand many of the problems that can arise with pets. Through my own pets I also have years of experience dealing with health issues and behavioral issues.
