Doggy Day Care in Colchester

“Danielle is extremely kind and understanding with me and my dog. She’s very reliable and gives good check ins.”

“Britney is wonderful with Sadee. Our 1st week went exceptionally well. Sadee was happy to see her each morning I dropped off. So happy we found her.”

“Kelcie was fantastic from start to finish. We came to meet her and see where our dogs would be staying. She was very easy to communicate with and provided us with updates and truly amazing photos of our dogs. We will definitely reach out if we need her services again in the future! Her home is wonderful and she has a great and safe setup for any pup.”

“I have had to leave Nuno with my dog for a long holiday weekend. He did a great job. I came back to a clean, healthy happy dog.”

“Sara is not only super professional but also a very sweet individual. She always prompt, friendly, and easy to work with. Never any issues. Definitely recommend her!”

“Bella is really comfortable with Debra, her family including Dylan and Bailey (her dogs) and her house. Bella seems to look forward to it every week and we sometimes wonder if she actually wants to come home. We are really happy with our decision to work with Debra. She is easy to work with, accommodating and most importantly really likes and cares for Bella.”

“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”

“My puppy had a great time with Mary Jo and her family. She was amazing and accepted our last minute booking to save the day! She kept me posted on how he was doing too which was so nice. I wish I knew lots of people in the area so I could recommend her personally. I am so grateful to her and her family for taking such good care of my guy!!”

“Becky is incredibly communicative and helpful! My puppy Bergy had an amazing time with your and the pack of pups this weekend. We will definitely be coming back!”

“Friendly, competent, safe! My pup had a happy day!”

“Francis grew up with many pets since she was a a little kid. She is a full-time student, part time worker, and a hardworking daughter. She loves taking care of other people and mostly their beloved pets.”

“Kathryn has watched our cat Oreo several times while we were on vacation. She was nothing short of fantastic with our kitty. She showed up everyday, even on the day when we had a snow storm. She took the time to bond with my cat and treats her like her own. Kathryn is also amazing with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with your fur babies.”

About: IG @lauralovesyourdog We love animals! Energetic young humans and 6 year old pug will play with your dog until we collapse! We have a large unfenced yard with lots of sniffing and exploring space. The yard is regularly treated by Tick Ranger (organic and pet-safe tick spraying). Our space for overnight is a large room- crated or uncrated, or are welcome to sleep in the human bed of their choice. Dogs are welcome throughout the first floor during the day. Your dog will feel completely at home at my house or yours! We walk, play and hug. Grooming services unavailable. Unfortunately we can not take pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or border terriers. I am also a caring and experienced cat owner/ caretaker! We have 3 cats of our own (our 17 year old angel Maddy went to the Heaviside Layer June 2021💙) and will care for your cat in your home or ours. Dependable loving care always! And if that wasn’t enough I am also very comfortable feeding/ handling and caring for small reptiles including snakes. We have had our Herman’s tortoise Shelly Clarkson for 2 years and love her to death! Available most days- flexible schedule and I keep my Rover calendar updated. About me: 42 year old single mom, works occasionally as a stage manager and at The Place in Guilford. We hope to care for your furry family soon! *Please note I do have 2 kids (ages 9 and 5). Both kids are very aware and cautious in how to approach new animals but if your dog is not 100% comfortable with kids we are not the sitters for you. Thank you! I build my schedule around my clients. We like to keep a predictable routine for our guests. I am home most of the day most days! We have a partially fenced yard and all guests stay leashed and well supervised while out! Our pug Winston loves to play and snuggle with our guests. My other part- time jobs are seasonal so I am home and available most days November through May. When my seasonal jobs are active I still am able to take 2-3 clients visits a day around them! I am very good with animals and have very very rarely met one that wasn’t interested in being my friend. All of my repeat clients are always very happy to see me! 🥰 I am always cautious and respectful of your pets’ space and yours and always will leave your house cleaner than I found it! I go above and beyond to make sure your pets’ routine is disturbed as little as possible while you are gone and I make sure they are given extra affection (if they want it!) I will not hesitate to obtain emergency care (with your permission) if your pet needs it.

“Stephen was awesome, kept Gracei happy and safe during her visits while I had to work. I felt very comfortable leaving her there for my first Rover experience and first puppy ever. He kept me updated throughout the day and is very flexible with time. Thank you and can’t wait to book with Stephen again!”

“Vanessa has taken my dogs on many walks and hikes. She is very caring and appears to have a great command of her abilities to handle different types of dogs. She has also walked other friends and coworkers dogs and they too seem to have enjoyed having vanessa take care of their pets. Vanessa has also done some grooming and have been satisfied with her work.”

“The best. As judged by how happy and exhausted my doggo was when I picked her up - she went for walks, to the park, backyard hangouts with other dogs, playtime in the living room. The photos were phenomenal, communication was ultra quick. Just a wonderful experience. Thanks!”

“Maya was very comfortable with Ali the minute they met and I felt comfortable leaving her in Ali's care. She was relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely try Ali first when in the area again!”

About: I have had 3 rescues of my own, all from different sectors of the US, different backgrounds, ages and breeds. I truly wouldnt be who I am today without my furbabies. I have raised my youngest from a few months old as well as provided senior care and sick care to my oldest. My goal is to give every dog the same amount of love I give my dogs. I am familiar with aggressive dogs, bigger dogs, dogs who don’t love leashes and dogs that need special attention. I'm very patient and would love to help care for your dog. This is because I understand the struggle to look for a trusted sitter, especially when life and the unexpected happens. I want you to leave knowing that your dog is in safe hands and will get the love they always deserve! If your dog needs some fun activity, needs a friend on the couch, or just wants a lot of belly rubs and snuggles then you can count on me! I have recently made a career change for the time being. Which allows for my schedule to be far less hectic as I begin to follow my dreams of owning an animal rescue and adoption center one day. Even with my work schedule, I can adjust my schedule to match yours as close or exact as possible. Please don't hesitate to reach out. My babies have their own little home/crate they are in while we are not home. As soon as we are home, they have our entire finished lower level to run around and play as well as our back yard. While caring at clients home I have similar care protocols as well as having fenced in yards and/or runners they can play on. Whatever care you need, you can trust me to follow.

“Becky has taken care of my cat and dogs on several occasions and done a wonderful job! My animals love her and her love for them is apparent. She is incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with—she worked with us around a significant change in plans while we were away on vacation—and overall is a lovely person! I definitely will be contacting her again in the future!”

“Darcy has been taking care of Bella, our dog for about 2 months. Bella was a rescue dog we adopted in November and came to us with many issues. Darcy comes over and tends to Bella needs and has been very nurturing to our new family addition. I have the utmost confidence in Darcy entering our home and Bella enjoys her visits and her play time with her. I highly recommend her for any family to use her services. Eileen”
