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.”

“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.”

“I can't say enough good things about Sara. She is incredibly responsible and has always made me feel very assured leaving my little Luna with her. She is Luna's #1 choice! Sara is very affectionate which I really appreciate given Luna's debilitating condition so I never feel too bad about going away for long periods of time. One other great thing I'd like to point out is her willingness to be available. I've had moments where I need a last minute sitter or for her to do an odd favor for Luna while I am away. Her reliability is something I value and why I refer her to everyone I know.”

“Quincy and Zali had a great time with Erica and her family. They seemed to enjoy their stay and slept well after their visit. Looking forward to using Erica and her family again for future stays.”

“We reached out to Mary Jo on short notice when our plans for the day changed and she was a lifesaver. Before booking the stay Mary Jo was great with prompt responses and made us feel like even though we were making last minute plans that our dog Stevie would be thoughtfully cared for. Mary Jo accommodated our schedule well for drop off and pickup, even having Stevie ready for pickup so we could get back on the road quickly. Mary Jo welcomed us into her home and let us see that Stevie was getting settled in well. We could tell right away that her son is a true dog lover and we enjoyed watching him get to know Stevie. When we came to pick Stevie up she was so happy and tired that she could barely keep her eyes open in the car. We could tell she had a great day with Mary Jo and her family!”

“Rebecca was fabulous with our pet dog. She kept sending us regular updates and photos. She also found good play mates for our pet who really enjoyed the time.”

“Tina took care of our special needs, anxious, senior shih tzu last night while we attended a UCONN women's basketball game at Mohegan Sun. TINA IS AWESOME! She is so caring and attentive to our pup, flexible and easy to work with, and keeps us posted on how things are going. We are so grateful to have found Tina and highly recommend her for your pet care needs.”

“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.”

“Autumn has always had the kindest soul I’ve ever come in contact with and I think that’s why animals and people always love her. If I ever have business out of town that I can’t take my pets with she’s my first call, I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a dog sitter/walker. Responsible, punctual and thoughtful, sometimes I think my little guys look forward to me taking a trip just so they can visit her.”

“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!”

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.

“Ali was great! She watched our puppy when we were at the Sox game. It was easy and the puppy was tired at the end of her stay! Was a great experience.”

“Becky is the absolute best! She takes wonderful care of my pup, gives her lots of love and attention. My dog loves visits with Becky and her dogs and comes home so tired and happy. Highly recommend her!”

“Without hesitation I recommend Darcy to care for your furry family member. She has true compassion for dogs. But the glue that seals my recommendation for Darcy is her professional commitment. She will listen to you --- the owner --- and your request for how to best care for your dog. She is quick to respond to messaging. And to top it, she has plenty of experience, both with her own dogs and with others. I have known Darcy for many, many years. She regularly cares for my family's love --- our four-legged family member, Ali. It is an honor to recommend Darcy to care for your family's love, too.”
