Dog Walking West Haven

“Alison and Tom are the best!! I cannot stress enough how wonderful it is to have them to take care of our boys when we’re gone. They are receptive to their needs and treat them like family. I always feel relieved that Gatsby and Nigel are in good hands. Thanks so much y’all!”

About: Individual walks, Big Attention: Personalized Walks for Your Dog With over 20 years of dog care experience, I bring a real understanding of dogs to each walk. What makes my walks different: 🐾 Only your dogs get walked together. Your dog gets genuine attention, not a spot in a pack. I notice their mood, energy, and cues, every walk. 🐾 Paced to your dog, not the clock. Some days call for a slow sniff walk, letting them read every scent on the block. Other days they need to burn energy with a brisker pace. I adjust in the moment based on what your dog actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all route. 🐾 20+ years of hands-on experience. I've cared for dogs of multiple ages, breed, and temperament, from anxious rescues to high-energy puppies to easygoing seniors. That experience means I can read a dog quickly and respond calmly to whatever comes up. What you can expect: Photo/video updates from the walk GPS-tracked routes Consistent, reliable scheduling A walker who treats your dog like an individual, not a job on a list If you want a walker who slows down when your dog needs to sniff and speeds up when they need to run, let's talk about your pup. I run my business from home. My schedule is flexible. Your pup will get walks and a loving companion. Dogs are my true love and I absolutely adore spending time with them. I have a large fenced yard as well as a dedicated indoor area for pups. Your pup will be able to sit on the sofa with us and snuggle. My pup Bernie loves making friends. They will keep busy

About: I have grown up with dogs since before I can even remember. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions and allergies, and dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs. I used to dog sit and do dog walks for several of my neighbors. What I enjoy the most is getting to know each dog individually, learning their behaviors, and giving them the love and attention they deserve! <3 Currently, I am available on all days of the week except Saturday to help take care of your beloved pets. My earliest start time is 11am. I always adhere to the pet owner's instructions for how to best care for their pets. I respect their home and do everything I can to keep their pets safe and comfortable.

“thank you for taking Lola last minute, for a long walk!”

“Ron is fantastic with our highly energetic Corgi! He's reliable and incredibly patient, and he never seems phased by his energy. You can tell Ron puts his whole heart into it. He genuinely cares about our dog's wellbeing. Our dog Kiyo absolutely adores the walks and gets so excited whenever he sees him. We've noticed a real difference in his mood and energy levels since we started using Ron, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

“Jennifer is AMAZING. Outside of being consistent and reliable, my dog loves her. She sends the most entertaining write-ups of their adventures. Highly recommend!”

“Lucinda filled in for 3 days as a dog walker for my furry-faced chihuahua daughter. She showed patience and kindness to a somewhat skittish pup. I felt confident that she would provide the care my pup needed while I worked long days in medicine. I would not hesitate to hire her again or to recommend her.”

About: Lifelong small‑dog person here. Dogs have been part of my family for over 40 years. I’m especially good with sensitive, shy, and “picky” pups who need a calm, patient approach. On each visit or walk, I’ll follow your routine closely (meals, meds, water, and the right mix of exercise and affection) so your dog feels safe and understood. I move at your dog’s pace, whether that’s a sniff‑filled stroll or a gentle potty break, and I always treat your furry loved one with the same care and respect I give my own. When I’m dropping in and/or walking your fur family members, my attention will be on them, not my mobile phone so that I’m present with them. I will take pictures during my visit according to your guidelines. CPR/First Aid certified as of 5/7/26. I’m a consultant with a flexible schedule, so I can usually plan my work around your pet’s visits and walks. I’m available on most weekdays and many weekends, and I only accept bookings I can reliably prioritize. When I commit to your pet(s), I build in extra travel time so I can arrive on time, calm, and fully focused on their care. CPR/First Aid certified 5/7/2026. Your pet’s trust and safety are my highest priorities. I handle each visit with the same care and attention I give my own animals, staying mindful of doors, leashes, and surroundings at all times. I follow your instructions closely, double‑check that your home is secure, and keep you updated so you always know how your furry loved one is doing. I will also ask for any special instructions when we meet in advance to be sure I have the right supplies and clear guidance for any custom care your pet may need. CPR/First Aid certified 5/7/2026.

About: I have spent over 7 years working with dogs in a daycare setting and have had a lifelong companionship with my own dogs, which allows me to offer a wealth of experience in dog walking. I am equipped to handle high-energy pups, seniors, and special needs dogs. I am dog CPR certified. As a dedicated dog walker, who also has a full-time job, I'm available weekdays from 3pm to 10 pm. The weekends I have full availability. I make it my mission to prioritize the well-being of every furry friend in my care. It is important for me to build meaningful relationships based on trust and respect. I understand the patience required to cultivate a bond with each dog, and I take the time to do so with every pet I work with. Whether it's a shy pup who needs a little extra encouragement or a high-energy dog who craves mental stimulation, I ensure that each dog receives the attention and support they deserve. Every dog is special, and their happiness and comfort are my top priorities.

“James walked my dog over several weeks in the fall while I was traveling. He was friendly and communicative, and I think my dog really enjoyed his walks with James. I'd absolutely recommend him!”

About: Our family has a cat named Yuanbao — she’s like a little princess with a proud and sassy personality! We all adore her, and she’s currently being cared for by my sister. I’ve also helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Chubby the corgi and Youhi the shiba. They’re both very well-trained, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved when I’m with them. Being around animals brings me so much joy — I find caring for them calming and rewarding. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I love making sure every pet feels happy and cared for. I especially adore Frenchies and hope to have one of my own someday! 🐾 Since I have a 9-to-5 job during the week, I’m mostly available on weekends and holidays. I love spending my free time outdoors or with animals, so taking care of pets during those times is something I genuinely enjoy. I prefer taking care of pets in their own home, as I enjoy feeding them, playing with them, and keeping them comfortable in a familiar environment

I stick to your pets' regular schedule of feeding, medication, playtime, and anything else as delineated by you to maintain their routine and avoid stressing your animals out. I also send consistent updates to owners to ease their worry and ask clarifying questions as they come up to ensure your pets are getting the care and attention they need. I make sure to keep your contact info and all relevant medical info handy at all times in case of emergency, and am quick to act with integrity and preparedness when pets are in danger.

About: Ive taken care of friends animals sense I was 12. Bringing a calm presence, I meet them with genuine care and intention, helping them to relax. I’m an entrepreneur focused on somatic work and art. Dog walking fits between my personal projects — a sweet respite from focus work to connect with a beautiful creature. My schedule is flexible and I build my day around the walks, so I’m present and unhurried when I show up. I come to your pet’s space with the goal of keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. Familiar feeding times, familiar walk routes, familiar spots on the couch. My focus is connection and calm — instead of creating anxiety, I aim to help them enjoy our time.

About: I want your pet to feel at home and enjoy their stay until they see their family again. I often take them on walks in my dog friendly sleepy street neighborhood. I work from home and go outside often on walks or bike rides if your pup is high energy and likes to run. Your pup will love basking in my fenced backyard in the sun. In the evening I chill with them watching Netflix. I have a fenced yard with sun and shade to for your pet to enjoy dog days of summer. I can take active pets for runs on my bike or a simple walk around the neighborhood. I want them to be excited for their stay while looking forward to reuniting with their family.
