Hi! My name is Drew and I love dogs! I grew up in Connecticut with my dog named Coconut. I am familiar with dog walking as well as boarding and pet sitting! Meeting dogs always makes my day 10x better. I love walking and now that I live in the city I don’t always get around to it, which is another reason why Wag! is great! I will treat your dog like the good boy/girl they are and always make sure you and your pooch are happy with the walk!

“Ambitious, Young, & Driven Pal For Your Furbaby”
Animals have played a significant role throughout my life, and I genuinely appreciate them to this day. My family was very influential in teaching me to love, respect, and care for our cats and dog properly, growing up. In the past, I have helped my family, neighbors, and friends care for their pets as well. Although I currently do not have any pets of my own, I still value the animals who find me along my life's journey. I always seem to have a place for them in my heart. How can you not?

We had a Brittany Spaniel , a yellow lab , a few mutts and a Caviler King Charles Spaniels so I am comfortable with all kinds of dogs!

Dog Walking in East Lyme
Located midway between New York and Boston, East Lyme is a vibrant coastal town filled with historic buildings and outdoor recreation areas. People and puppers alike will find plenty to do in East Lyme. In case Fido needs to go to the vet, there are two animal clinics in town.
Tucked
under the Niantic River Bridge, Cini Memorial Park is a small
waterfront area facing the Niantic River. Here, you can have a
riverside picnic with Fido, watch charter fishing boats sail off, or
take your best bud for a leashed stroll on the beach. There are also
interpretive signs installed at the park to help visitors learn more
about the river.
From
Cini Memorial Park, you and Fido can access the Niantic Bay
Boardwalk, which is considered to be one of the best waterfront
walkways in Connecticut. With puptastic views of Niantic Bay and Long
Island Sound, this mile-long boardwalk is a great spot to take your
pooch for a walk. Dogs and bikes are not allowed during summer,
however, so schedule your visit in the off season.
When
hunger strikes, head to Main Street to grab a bite to eat. Many
restaurants offer outdoor seating, including Cafe Sol, Palmieri's
Slice Shop, and Smarty's Restaurant & Pub.
Come
explore the shore and more with Fido at East Lyme!
