Good with dogs, dependable on the road?
We're building walking capacity so Tom can lead more pack hikes and provide more sitting care. Thoughtful handling, sound judgment, and reliable weekday availability matter more than a polished résumé.
New London, Connecticut
Dog walking and pet care close to home.
Tom’s Dogs is based in New London, with structured walks, pack-hike pickup, drop-in visits, and in-home care shaped around the pet and the schedule.
Care in New London
A useful outing, not a rushed checklist.
New London clients may need recurring weekday exercise, a dependable home visit, or longer care when they are away. The starting point is the same: learn the dog, understand the routine, and choose the service that fits.
Pack-hike pickup
Compatible dogs may join an on-leash small-group trail outing with transportation, water, GPS, photos, and a report.
How pack hikes workCare at home
Drop-ins and in-home sitting help maintain familiar routines for dogs, cats, and other household pets.
Explore home visitsAvailability still depends on the exact request.
Being based in New London helps with route density, but it does not make every time slot or service automatically available. Recurring requests, address, timing, transportation, handling needs, and existing commitments all matter.
Share the honest version of your dog and the schedule you need. Tom’s Dogs will recommend a sensible starting point or say plainly when another option would serve you better.
Care where you live
Choosing dog care in New London
When your workday keeps you away, the useful question is what will make your dog’s day better and your schedule easier. Start with the type of care below, then tell us your neighborhood and preferred timing so we can check the route.
A workday break, or a bigger outing?
If your dog mainly needs a bathroom break and attention while you work, start with a neighborhood walk or home visit. A pack hike adds travel and trail time, and needs a dog who is comfortable with the group and handling.
Tell us about the handoff
For an apartment or shared entrance, mention that an entry arrangement will be needed. Send access details privately after care is agreed, never in the inquiry form. A clear handoff keeps the visit focused on your dog.
Plan around your dog’s ordinary day
Tell us when you leave, when you return, and how much flexibility you have. We can check a recurring route more usefully with a time window than with “any time.” We confirm the actual timing before booking.
Start with an introduction
New London is our home base, but a nearby address alone does not guarantee a place. We review handling, schedule, and compatibility together. Dogs who need individual attention can be considered for a walk instead of a group.
Ask about your town:
Service, route, schedule, and your pet’s needs all affect availability. Your inquiry does not reserve a place.
