Dog Walking in Wallingford Center

About: I have been responsible for dogs of all types for over a decade. From occasional afternoon walks to extended house-sitting and dog watching, I have experience providing companionship and playful exercise to dogs. If your dogs have special needs or specific routines, like medication or feedings, I have experience with that too! Whatever your fur-baby needs, I can do it. AVALABILITY CHANGE STARTING JUNE 22ND 2026! My new availability during the work week will be any time after 4:30pm. On weekends, I'm still wide open!

“Kristen has just started walking Lili and has been great! Lili has warmed right up to her. We love the photo updates! They make us laugh and "aw" when we cant be with our girl! Thank you Kristen for helping us and getting Lili out for fresh air and cuddle time during the day!”

About: I grew up in a family with more pets than humans and loved every moment of it. Meeting new pups and kitties is my favorite way to spend a weekend :) I’m currently working part time and love to break the day up with a dog walk. Available for weekend house sitting and drop by visits. I’m always down for a stroll around the neighborhood with your dog or hours of feather wand games with your cat. Like most fur babies, I’m a total homebody and happy to hang out for hours giving head scratches.

“Mary has done an excellent job. She shows up on time and gives our dog a nice walk. He seems glad to see her on those occasions when my wife was home at walk time. Happy to suggest her to others.”

“We don’t have a very easy dog to walk but Rebecca did a great job making him feel comfortable and get plenty of exercise and time outside! She gave us great feedback on ways to help in the future with a scared stressed dog and we will definitely have her walk our dog in the future!”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all types since I was 15 years old. From taking them out for walks, potty breaks, and feedings, to spending time to play, I am willing and able to provide quality care for your pets. I work full time (830am-430pm) but I can care for your pets before or after work as well as weekends. I can be flexible if needed My grandma has a 7 year old Pomeranian/Terrier mix that she took in about 2 years ago. I’ve been helping her care for Maizie by taking her for walks, playing with her, feeding her, and even snuggling for naps!! I will care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

“Taylor is amazing!! My dog loves her!”

About: I had dogs throughout my childhood and now have a Labrador Retriever who I couldn’t imagine doing life without. Dogs are family, and I will make sure to give your dog the utmost attention and care and to your specifications. I continue to take my dog to training classes even as an adult dog, and see training as a way of communicating with your dog. I have learned a lot from many different trainers over the years which allows me to be a better caretaker for your dog too. Please reach out with any questions. I very much look forward to meeting your pup! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pup. For overnight guests in our home, we own our home and have a fenced in yard (brand new and installed just for our dog). If the care is in your home, I will gladly follow any instructions you leave and accommodate your preferences and specifications in both caring for your home and your dog.

“Julie has been amazing with my dog, Cooper. She’s been doing his mid-day walks and has been incredibly reliable and flexible, which I’ve really appreciated. She’s been easy to communicate with and very accommodating with my schedule. Honestly, I’d keep working with her without hesitation if I weren’t moving. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their dog.”

About: My name is Katelyn, and I’m a Pre-Vet student who has loved and cared for animals my entire life. I have professional experience as both a dog walker and a house sitter, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and special care needs. In addition, I work closely with a rescue organization where I’ve fostered many dogs and cats of all ages, gaining hands-on experience with young animals, socialization, and daily care. I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science and a minor in Equine Studies, and I plan to continue pursuing my path toward veterinary school. Through both my education and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a strong foundation in animal behavior, handling, welfare, and medical care. Over the summers, I work as a veterinary technician, where I gain practical experience with animal health, safety, and clinical care. I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of species, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I would truly love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I am currently working part-time and have a pretty flexible schedule! I am available for house sitting or dog walking any day of the week. I always care for pets according to their normal routine and the owner’s preferences since consistency helps animals feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise or playtime, and receive lots of attention and positive interaction. I’m careful to follow any specific instructions for medications, diets, training cues, or household rules. I also make sure litter boxes, yards, and feeding areas stay clean. I like to keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they know how their pet is doing. For shy or nervous pets, I am patient and let them warm up at their own pace. For energetic pets, I’m happy to provide extra play and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

“Caitlyn was Excellent!! She treated my dogs like her own and went above and beyond ! We will definitely be using her again.”

I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats of which I am a part-time caretaker (when I’m home in NY)! I would love to help walk your furry friends! I will be home from graduate school from 5/8-5/20 and am open to whatever you need. Please reach out if I can be of assistance! I know how important pets are to their owners and ensure you can trust me. I have two cats of my own at home and unfortunately will not be able to bring other animals into my home at this time.
