“Four legged friends are the best!”
*Woof!* I'm Joshua and I just said 'Hello!' in dog speak. I've been told I'm a good human and often get wet nose kisses in recognition of a job well done. Dogs are simply amazing and I absolutely love them. I appreciate dogs of all sizes and breeds, but big playful pups are my favorite. When caring for your dog, you can rest assured that your fur baby is in the good hands of a trustworthy human who is as loving to your four-legged friend as you are. Your pup is always priority #1!

Hi. My name is Patty. I am an animal lover especially a dog lover. I own a 12 year Aussie-chon and am in open arms when my friends need a sitter for their dog. I have worked at a veterinarian office in the past and i like to better increase my dog and animal knowledge by taking online courses in dog behavior and psychology. I also love physical activity so no dog is too large or too small for me.

Hey there! I'm Cecile. Growing up I watched my older sisters bring home strays and care for them. I learned from them how to tell if a dog is happy, scared, or in pain. I learned how to calm an anxious dog with a soft voice and that dogs that are more vocal, change their posture, or are not so interested in food, may be in pain or sick. I also learned how much fun it is to play with a dog. I am enrolled in the Veterinary Assistant Program at Middlesex Community College to learn more about the animals I love. I will receive my certificate February 14, 2018.

I have grown up around all kinds of animals especially dogs both big and small. I currently love and care for a sweet little chihuahua/doxen mix and hope to adopt a larger dog as well. I am very interested in using canine behavior and body language to understand how they feel so I provide the best care possible.

Dog Walking in Cheshire
Cheshire is nestled in New Haven County. As a former farming town, it still holds onto a rural atmosphere and strong sense of community. Barns, flowering gardens, mature trees, and historic buildings give it the charm New England towns are famous for. Local dogs love visiting the parks and open spaces, and take comfort knowing that there are four veterinary clinics located right in town.
If you don’t feel like cooking, but don’t want to leave your pup behind, head over to Viron Rondo Osteria for some authentic Italian cuisine. Order the Linguini Vongole or Rigatoni Bolognese then dine al fresco with your pooch at one of the patio tables. For something a bit lighter, try Main Street Café. With steamy soups, refreshing salads, and scrumptious sandwiches, this place will definitely hit the spot. Plus, as long as the weather is nice, your dog can join you at one of the outside tables.
After dinner, take your pup for a stroll around Cheshire Town Park. It spans 75 acres and has sport courts, ball fields, and picnic facilities. However, your pup will be more interested in the trails that wind through the forested area.
No bones about it, Cheshire will make your dog’s tail wag!
