I am a responsible, trustworthy person with a wealth of experience with dogs. Along with caring for my own, I've walked, pet sat, boarded and fostered dogs for family members, friends and associates throughout my life. My early experiences working at a pet shop and as a veterinarian's assistant provided a foundation of dog care knowledge that I've continued to build on ever since. After a lengthy career in the Information Technology sector I opted to retire early and pursue rewarding part-time work. As a Fairfield resident for over 20 years, I'm committed to providing local Wag clients with the best dog walking service possible.

Dog Walking in Danbury
Forget the flat landscapes of your typical dog parks because Richter Park on the corner of Aunt Hack Road and Autumn Drive is anything but flat! Choose from one of Richter Park’s two climbing trails, and take in Connecticut’s beauty on a long, relaxing, rejuvenating hike. Dogs are more than welcome on the trails, and won't be bothered by the local rangers, as long as they are on their leashes and cleaned up after. There are no admission fees or hours of operation for this park.
Can’t decide if you’d rather hike or swim? Perhaps you want to hike for half of the day and then cool off by swimming before heading home for supper? Tarrywile Park on Southern Boulevard can solve your dilemma! Enjoy the songs of birds and rustling of leaves while hiking the park’s trails, and then cool off with a refreshing dip in the park’s pond. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on-leash and cleaned up after. This park is free to enter and is open all the time.
You and your dog are going to have legs of steel after hiking around Bear Mountain Reservation! Located at the intersection of Bear Mountain Road and Candlewood Pines Road, Bears Mountain Reservation has breath-taking scenery of wooded areas and of Candlewood Lake. Fido is more than welcome, but he must be on his leash and cleaned up after. You may enjoy this park anytime you like, as it doesn’t close for maintenance.

Richter

The only time your dog needs to be on a leash is when you walk through the golf course to get to the hiking trails. After that, your pup can roam free and explore nature. There are several opportunities for pawesome views of nature along these trails. If you and your pooch are looking to spend some relaxing time together while exercising, this is definitely a place you should check out. It’s sure to be a paw-tastic time for you both!
