Hello there, my name is Levi Caldwell, born in Seattle Washington then moving to California when I was fifteen years old. I grew up with dogs and of course love them! I have dog sat many times for very many different breeds and temperaments. I graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University with a Bachelor Degree in Sociology~Criminal Justice. I love being active: running, surfing, martial arts, kettle bells, but especially walking and running with a dog friend! I am currently in the process of joining the U.S. Coast Guard, but in the meantime, what better way to spend time than with our furry friends? I am looking forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

Hi, I’m Liz! I truly believe in the adage, “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” I aim to take that same level of love, care, and attention that I give to my own dog, and bring it to your home. I have experience working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, although I have a true affinity for large breeds, especially of the bully type!

“A Dog is a Girls Best Friend!!”
Hello, my name is Brianna! I'm 22 years old. I grew up in a small town near Philadelphia, PA with my adorable Beagle named Cassie. Aside from caring for my family's dog, I began dog sitting for family and friends when I was about 13. Over the years I've watched a wide variety of dogs—and I've loved caring for and spending time with each one of them. I look forward to getting out and active with your dog, and giving your pup as much joy and puppy-love as they give me!

HI! I am Haylee and I have been working with animals for about three years now, and I've owned animals my entire life! I previously worked at Sea World on the Pet's Rule! show working backstage with the animals (primarily dogs and cats).

Dog Walking in Waterford
Surrounded by water on three sides, Waterford is a shoreline town that boasts beautiful views and sandy beaches. The former rural farming community also offers a number of parks for Fido to enjoy. Serving the needs of Waterford's four-legged residents and tourists are two animal hospitals.
You and Fido will find plenty to do in the center of town, starting with Stenger Farm Park, which houses an off-leash dog park where your pooch can socialize and run around to his heart's content. There are separate areas for big and small dogs but no water fountains, so be sure to bring water. Since shade is limited, it is best to go in the early morning or late afternoon.
If Fido doesn't feel like making new friends, you can take a leashed walk on the trails around Stenger Farm Park instead. The trails, which include an old horse and buggy track, will take you and your dog through high meadows, wooded areas, and along the edge of the central pond.
Another puptastic green space located in the heart of Waterford is Civic Triangle Park, where you and Fido can spend a relaxing afternoon together. The park features athletic fields, picnic areas, a playground, and a pond that various wildlife call home.
So come and stop by Waterford with your best pal!

This park contains several athletic fields and more than enough space for you and your dog to run around. There's also a playground and a picnic area where you can take a break and munch on some snacks. For a proper breakfast, drop by the Panera Bread in Waterford Commons, located a short drive away from the park. The cafe and bakery has a spacious patio where Fido can join you while you eat. Another pup-friendly eatery in the Commons is Cold Stone Creamery, which has a couple of outdoor tables.

Just a stone's throw away from the park is The Dock Restaurant, where your pooch is welcome to sit with you on the deck.

The Niantic Bay Boardwalk in Eastern Niantic is a mile-long seaside walkway that overlooks Niantic Bay and Long Island Sound, making it a nice spot to take your pup for a leashed stroll. Note that Fido is not allowed on the boardwalk during summer, however. When that's the case, head straight to Cini Memorial Park, the eastern terminus of the boardwalk. This small waterfront park has an observation deck and benches where you can enjoy views of the Niantic River.
