Dog Walkers in Waterford, CT

“Sara has been incredible with our dogs. There are three of them, all big, two with substantial anxiety, and none of them is really leash trained. In other words, they're a handful. We have been floored by Sara's insight, skill, patience, and warmth. She has charmed our dogs and left us feeling confident that they are in capable, kind hands. Sara is the first non-family member we have trusted to care for our dogs, and we are so grateful to be working with her.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. I have pet sat for many friends over the years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am self employed and have a very open schedule. I love the outdoors and I don’t mind the cold. The more walkies the better! I have a large yard and lots of open space and spots for cozy naps at home. My yard is not fenced in but I keep dogs leashed on walks.

About: I have always enjoyed and loved being around animals. I have a natural ability to nurture all dogs with different types of disabilities and anxieties. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who have had ACL surgery. I am retired so I will be very flexible and even able to do last minute caring. I also love to walk dogs on a daily basis. I will offer a safe and caring environment as well as devoting my full attention to your pet no matter what their needs may be.

“Terry is a great sitter, clearly loves what she does and treats your pet as her own. She’s kind and conscientious and was more than happy to help us out in a tight spot. I’d certainly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter/walker. She’s great.”

I’m super patient, gentle, and happy to follow any care routine you have in place so your pet feels comfortable and safe. I also love getting outside for walks, so I’m always excited to take your pet out for some fresh air and fun if that’s part of their routine. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own and keep you updated while you’re away 😊 ’m a full-time student and a per diem pharmacy tech at my local hospital, and I love staying busy! I’m available anytime on Tuesdays, sometimes on weekends, and on Fridays after 5 PM. I always do my best to be flexible, so feel free to reach out, and we can see what works. Thank you for keeping my schedule in mind! I always do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

I also love sharing updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re gone.

About: From mini to huge! I have experience with many different breeds and ages from new born pups to elderly dogs that just want company. Teacups to bull mastiffs and great danes. More than one dog is not a problem! While Iam with your family I will assure the best care is taken of your child. I currently work a split shift as a school bus driver so Iam looking to fill in my days and weekends with furry friends. I am available holidays. While I'm with your dog(s) I will assure proper walking equipment is used allowing for the safest and best experience is given. With the owners permission your pup may go for a car ride and explore trails, and new sights. Being aware of all surroundings is an essential part to the outings.

About: As someone who has taken care of animals for almost two decades, I've seen it all. From aggressive pets, to escapists, to pets with serious health problems. But even with those hardships I've managed to get through for those dogs and their owners. I've met some very amazing animals throughout my years, and everytime they can't get enough of me, I'm basically the Pet Whisper. And I'm always able to complete the checklist, feed, walk, take them to their appointments, and so on. My clients have been able to trust me, I'm a hard worker who doesn't give up, who goes above and beyond to make my clients proud and their pets happy. I'm currently employed as a Sales Associate at Ocean State. My hours vary quite a bit, but normally I work up to 3 weekdays and both weekends, sometimes only one of them. My hours can be from 7-1 to 11 or 1-7:30 Currently I have a dog and cat. My cat stays in my room while my dog is allowed in our stairway, hallway, living room, dining room and kitchen. My cat gets along with all cats, but is very finicky around other dogs, even my own. They are both separated by a gate, so there's no fear of them ever interacting as my dog loves trying to chase her if he ever gets the chance. My dog gets along with most dogs regardless of size but, he'll always be egging them on to play haha. My house isn't entirely large but it's enough for your pet to move around, play, and relax. My complex is very large and a great walking area for your pet. There's also a dog park right around the street that's a wonderful place for your dog to socialize. And, next to that park is a large trail that's perfect for walking. If your dog likes the beach, there's plenty of them in my vicinity.

About: Dear dog parents, I'm a big dog lover and I'll assure you I'll love and care for your dog as if it was my own! I'm well educated about dog care as I took some animal classes in high school and a vet assistant course . I have taken care of my own fur baby for 11 years before she passed, she was the cutest feisty chihuahua. I see dogs as a blessing and they truly are angels that become such a wonderful part of our lives. I know and understand how important your fur babies are to you so Im very dedicated to providing the best care possible for them. Sincerely Your friendly dog walker/sitter I'm available most of the time, especially in the mornings but also in the evenings on certain days Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more info. I have a small front and back yard in my apartment and i like going to parks for the walks. The apartment is spacious enough for any dog

About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, as well as other animals (cats, geckos, fish etc.) I have pet sat for my neighbors with some of their dogs being on the older side, needing medications and more care. I have also had a dog go through ACL surgery and worked with them on the rehab after! I'm currently part-time and would love to hang out with your animals! I know working makes it hard for animals to get as many walks as you might like, and I would love to be someone who can help with that! My own dog is electric fence trained, but I have worked with dogs who need to be leashed while having outdoor time, and some who have fenced in yards. I would love to help your your pet feel happy and active!

“Angell is a doll. I count on her to care for my two dogs and 3 cats while I am away. She keeps me updated on her visits with photos and a written visit summary. I would highly recommend Angell to walk/pet sit for your furrbabies”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I have walked, taken pups outside, fed them meals, kept them company and I’m able to do all of that for you and your puppies too! I currently work full time however my schedule allows me to still care for your puppies! The most amount of time I’ll be away at a time is 5-6 hours. I’m happy to chat about my schedule for the week you need me. I have 3 dogs who need much attention, I make sure by the end of the night they are out of energy by playing with them and running around outside. They love getting treats after dinner too and I’m sure your puppies will be just like mine, out of energy and happy!

About: Hello! I have been around pets my entire life. Having a Siberian husky as my childhood companion, until his recent passing, has made me grow a bond for animal care and taught me many insightful tips. I have learned how to care for animals by dog sitting friends, colleagues, and neighbors pets and continue to grow my interest in cat sitting through feline-loving friends of mine! Whether it’s a playful pup or a serene feline, each furry friend holds a special place in my heart, and I enjoy every opportunity I get to provide them with love and care! I am a recent graduate from Quinnipiac University. My weekends are very flexible, working from 6am-2pm Monday through Friday. I try to be as flexible as possible with my schedule! Please let me know if you have any questions! I will make sure that your furry friend(s) are taken care of with safety as the number one priority! My goal is to make sure they can continue their day to day routines, while staying alert and aware of any unusual activities that could occur. Above all, I will invest time and patience into nurturing a bond and mutual respect with your companion(s)!

About: Your dog(s) will love coming over to play and exercise while you’re away from home. I will love and care for your fur-babies as if they’re my own. My four year old rescue, Miley, aka “Potato” is extremely social and absolutely loves puppy play dates. We have yet to meet a dog she doesn’t get along with, or any other living creature for that matter! Our Golden Retriever, Dug, perfectly matches his namesake from the Disney movie UP. My husband grew up on a farm and has cared for animals his whole life. We are both animal lovers. I especially love pit bulls and support the national ‘Punish The Deed & Not The Breed’ campaign. I can’t wait to begin caring for and helping with your fur-babies! I am a full time Realtor. I create my schedule around the needs of my pets. Please reach out with any questions you may have. Our home and furniture is pet friendly. Please feel free to reach out via message with any additional questions you may have about your pet's care.
