Doggy Day Care in Old Saybrook

“Lauren was gracious and so flexible with me when I needed it for my dog! I would highly recommend. Charlotte is happy and tired after her day, and Lauren is so very nice!”

“I had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to the amazing care of Nastia, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for her exceptional service. Upon picking up my dog, I could tell they had a fantastic time during their stay. From start to finish, it was clear that my pup was in the best hands possible.”

About: I grew up around cats and dogs within my own home, other family members houses, & friends. We had a cat of our own until last year when we moved out of CT for a short time and had to sadly re-home him. He’s missed very much! I’ve also house sat pets and walked friends dogs as well. I work part time so I have a lot free time on my hands which makes me very flexible at all hours and time during the week! I care for pets as if they are my own. With all the love and fun that they can take whether they are in my home or I am in theirs!

“My dog and I both got very lucky finding Terry immediately after moving to Connecticut. She’s incredibly kind and caring towards my special needs pup, and always considers his comfort and requirements. Her communication with me is also excellent, asking for any updates each morning and giving great reports at the end of the day. I highly recommend her.”

“Emma loves dogs. She has a way of connecting to them. She goes to great lengths to make sure all their needs are met. She has cared for animals all her life and it shows in how she feeds, plays, walks dogs. My dog adores her and looks forward to her visits and long walks.”

“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”

“Wonderful dog loving couple Really felt that my dog was in great care and in a safe loving home They have a great yard all fenced in that he really came home tired and had a fun day ! Thank you we will use them again in the future!”

“Brit took care of our Timothy for 3 weeks while we were overseas. She Facetime with us showing my dogs and her dog playing and goofing around in their comfortable home. We were so happy and pleased with her care. She updated us at all times which made me at ease leaving Timothy. When we went to her house, I felt comfortable leaving Timothy there because the environment is dog friendly and with her loving family of 2 boys that loves their Dog Inara so much and her wonderful husband Tim. Brit is the best. I'm so thankful to her and we did have a wonderful vacation knowing that our Timothy was in good hands.”

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.

“We have an older dog with health problems as well as a new, very energetic puppy. Binti was amazing! She was able to sense when our older dog needed a little extra love and balance that with the demands of a puppy. Would highly recommend!”

“Great individual that was very caring of my pup. He taught me a very valuable lesson when walking my dog. Walks are WAY better now. Thanks again Roger.”

“Our little dog, (Dogo) is very shy, she's not comfortable going with just anyone. Heidi is her magic best friend who can always get her excited to come for a walk or a visit. Heidi is the only person we trust to take Dogo for the weekends when we are away, we know that she'll be happy, well cared for, and totally spoiled!”

Your beloved pet will be cared for per your instructions :)

“Mary-Ellen took care of our blind Shih Tzu, "Peanut" for the day in her home this past weekend and was just AMAZING with her! She was so interested to find out all the little details ahead of time to ensure that they had a fun and comfortable day. Because of Peanut's special needs, my boyfriend and I are very nervous about leaving her with sitters, but after meeting Mary-Ellen, we felt sure that she would be in the best of hands. Mary-Ellen sent updates throughout the day along with several photos so I could see what fun they were having. Mary Ellen's home is adorable and sparkling clean, and as an added bonus, her daughter and Peanut really hit it off and had a wonderful time together. We would highly recommend Mary Ellen to others and will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Carmine watched our 11 year old, special needs, blind shih tzu yesterday for the first time for several hours. It could not have gone better! Our pup is a rescue with severe separation anxiety so we always worry about how things will go when leaving her. It could not have gone better! Carmine was incredible with her - so gentle, kind, caring, and attentive to the details and instructions. While he may be new to Rover, Carmine has a great deal of experience with pups - rescuing, caring and training them. We HIGHLY recommend Carmine for any of your pet care needs. We definitely plan to use him again soon. THANK YOU CARMINE! YOU ARE AWESOME!”

“Loki spent a week with Monica for doggy daycare. He was always very excited when we got there in the morning. She sent pictures regularly to keep me updated. She is flexible and accommodating. I felt comfortable leaving Loki in her care. We’ll definitely be using her services in the future.”

“We had Chandra care for our golden doodle puppy for a weekend. She is great with our dog and keeps in contact which helped us be able to relax on our trip! We will defy be using her services again!”
