Dog Walking West Rock

“Catie’s been fantastic! She is so kind, trustworthy, and good with our dog. Our dog has a lot of energy and needs a good walk while we’re working. Catie always brings her back well exercised and ready to nap the rest of the day!”

About: are you in the wider new haven area? do you love your dog very much but have responsibilities of your own? let me help! i've lived with, cared for and been around dogs for most of my life, and i know how unique every pup can be. i love taking a gentle, patient, friendly approach to letting a dog learn to trust me, and i want you to trust me too! just let me know what i can do to help. i have the availability to stop by in the morning, afternoon, and evening, so i am flexible to the needs of you and your dog. i live on structure and organization, so your dog can slide right into my routine! that reliability is very important to me. i really love getting to know animals and their needs just like i would a friend who can tell me using words! i have the energy for pups who need to play and the patience for those who need to warm up to me first. every dog is different, and i let them come to me so they can learn to trust me. the trust of an animal is not something to take lightly! be detailed, let me know how best to make your dog feel cared for and i'll take care of the rest.

About: After years of for-friends & word of mouth dog & catsitting I'm making the jump to pro! I have a relatively open schedule & love to travel..my apartment in New Haven doesn't allow animals so this is how I get pet time in! I work for myself doing mostly gig stuff so am flexible when it comes to timing for potty breaks etc, & am not limited much geographically I've yet to meet a pet I didn't connect w & traveling the world I've learned a healthy respect for other's spaces while staying at their properties

“Marie is the first dog walker I’ve used on Rover and she has been wonderful!! Very kind and professional and goes above and beyond. She sent me photos from their walk and shared cute updates, which I appreciated ☺️ 10/10 would recommend.”

“Ileana has been simply excellent with our anxious rescue. Our dog is not quick to make friends, but Ileana knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable from the beginning, and managed her reactivity expertly on walks. She was also prompt, communicative, and flexible with us. Could not recommend her enough!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds my entire life, dogs, cats, fish, birds, and rodents. There isn’t a single animal on this earth that I don’t love. I have experience working with every type of dog under the sun—even if they are aggressive I will do my best to pacify them. Your animal cannot scare me off I always put my pets first. When I wake up in the morning the first thing I do is feed my cat, and the last thing I do before I go to sleep is brush his little kitty teeth I am capable of doing whatever is required of me to do, whether it be sitting with your pet while they nap, or playing fetch for 5 hours straight, following what is right for your pet is important to me

About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I am currently working on a hybrid schedule that allows me flexibility during the day. I can be available for quick visits, walks and longer stays. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

“Aiden was great with Ozzy! He communicated well, was on time, and a friendly person. Our dog had just had surgery, so we had guidance on keeping Ozzy away and safe from other dogs. We trusted Aiden to take good care of Ozzy, and he did. Would definitely use him again.”

About: I have had and cared for dogs and various pets most of my life. I have experience working at a puppy shop called CT Breeder, where I cared for different breeds of puppies, administered meds, and socialized them with other dogs. Most recently I have care for my dog from a puppy, which is a Bichon/Shih Tzu mixed. I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old and he is now 3 years old. I potty trained him and taught him some fun tricks. I have also pet set for a family member who has a French Bulldog. I am currently a full time nursing student and I have classes Monday through Thursday. I am available to care for your furry friends Thursday night to Sunday. Depending on the service that I will be providing, I will just follow the guidelines of the owner as far as dog sitting especially overnight. I would care for your furry friends just as you would, so if there are any special precautions just let me know.

“Sarah did such an amazing job! I have two dogs with very different personalities and she handled them both great! She also took them on a long walk they were still sleepy by the time we got home. Thanks again!”
