Doggy Day Care in Barkhamsted

“Karina was WONDERFUL! Our dog hasn’t been boarded a lot in her life, and has been nervous when she has, but she was comfortable as soon as we walked into the yard and so calm and happy when we picked her up! Karina was so communicative before and during her stay, and I appreciate how through she was with what to bring and making sure all the dogs in her care are up to date on vaccinations. We are so happy with our stay and will definitely bring our dog back!”

“Cruz Maria was so great with my dogs and with me! She is an expert dog person who catered to my dogs physical & emotional needs. I was in town for my high school reunion. Instead of boarding them for the weekend, Cruz Maria was flexible so that I could have them be in "day care" in the afternoon and evening. I was able to go to so many events for my reunion and still have my dogs with me at night. Thank you Cruz Maria!! You are the best!”

“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”

“MJ was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup was so excited to see her again the very next day, she truly couldn’t wait to go back! I highly recommend MJ to anyone looking for loving and reliable care.”

About: Hello and thank you for considering our services. Please take a moment to read our full profile, including important notes at the end. We are back to boarding pups after taking a few years off, but we are still just as dedicated to providing top notch pet care as we were when we started. Brief summary of what you can expect: We offer outside playtime morning, afternoon and night, frequent access to our large fenced in back yard, LOTS of hugs and kisses for all fur children and the occasional treat as well. Your pup will have free run or our home, sleep where they want and be treated as part of the family, which means they will be spoiled! However, we also respect any restrictions you have set so simply let us know. To help determine if your pup is a good fit. please note: - WE DO NOT TAKE AGGRESSIVE dogs under any circumstances - Unfortunately, we no longer take special needs dogs suffering from incontinence, sight or hearing impairments - We do not provide 24/7 coverage during weekdays and dogs may be left alone for roughly 4 hours a couple times during the week - All dogs must be able to navigate stairs to gain access to the backyard - We aim to be flexible with drop off & pick up times on weekends, but during the week hours are from 2:00 to 7:00 PM We are pet parents 24 hours and include the pets in all our activities. Thank you for considering trusting us with your pup ! Alan & Luis One of us works from home so typically there is someone home all day with our pups. Of course we leave to run errands and such, but our life revolves around our dogs.

“Adrienne was Roo’s best friend for a day, and was everything I was looking for and more. Roo had a day full of adventures, and Adrienne sent us plenty of photos! We will definitely be return customers. Highly recommended!!”

“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!

“Hoaran was so attentive to my pup and kept me up to date for the whole stay. She was extremely accommodating to last minute inconveniences in our travel. Kona enjoyed her stay and came home very fulfilled!! Will definitely book again!!!”

“Wonderful experience! Anagha was very communicative before and during Lucy's visit. She sent messages and pictures throughout the day which gave me such peace with leaving our pup with someone new. Hoping that we'll get a chance to use Anagha again in the future!”

“Dana was a wonderful sitter for our dog. Addie fit right in with her family and had a great time with the kids and other dogs that stopped by. I highly recommend Dana.”

“Blue's first stay with Aileen was great. Aileen and fam were very warm and inviting, and you know right away this is a dog friendly environment. We shared tips on diet and snacks and was very happy to hear her guidance on dietary needs since my little guy is overweight. Blue had a great stay and enjoys playing with Holly, their pup. I was a little late on return, Aileen was very accommodating and the communication thru the day was great - almost instant on her responses. Very satisfied with the service she provides and we will most definitely be back for our future trips.”

“Nazim is fantastic! He is professional, communicative, and calm. My dog Duke liked Nazim and the other dogs right away. The big fenced back yard and dog-friendly home made for a perfect doggie daycare experience. I appreciated receiving photos throughout the day, and a happy dog at pickup time. Highly recommend!”
