Doggy Day Care in Colchester

“My dog and I just moved to a new area so I was anxious about finding someone to watch him while we get settled. Jennifer and Justin were so kind and sent me plenty of photos throughout the day. They even very kindly washed his bowl after he ate his food. My dog had an amazing time and I would trust them to watch him again”

“I am convinced that I have never met a more kind human on this blue rock called earth. She came through last minute for us big time. She was so kind to my cowardly little pit bull and gave her the time and care she needed. To say Veronica is the best choice for anyone to call is an understatement of epic proportions. Thank you so much ma'am! You are truly a gem!”

“This was the first time in 12 years I have used a dog sitter, and it will not be the last time because of Rebeca and Roman. They were very responsive from the beginning of the Rover process, and they continued throughout the four days I used their services. Rebeca greeted us every morning and afternoon with a smile. After the first day, Maple could not wait to get to Rebeca, literally jumping from my arms to her arms when we arrived at Rebeca/Roman’s home. I received a daily picture and even a video of Maple during the day. I had no concerns during the four days of daycare because of the pleasant attitude, daily photos, and Maple’s behavior before and after her time with Rebeca and Roman. Overall, a great experience. I will 100% use Rebeca and Roman again!!!”

“Azaria provided such wonderful peace of mind to me while she watched my German Shepherd George. She is very kind and I knew right away I could trust her with my boy, which was very important since having just relocated to the area. Hands down, no questions asked I would rebook her care and services. She is absolutely wonderful!!! I know my sweet boy George really enjoyed his time with her. Azaria is highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable trustworthy kind person to help with their furry ones.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. I’ve owned breeds with bold personalities, including my current Airedale Terrier, Elvis, who definitely keeps things lively. My Scottish Terrier, Scarlett, was one of the best dogs I’ve ever had—loyal, loving, and full of charm. While I don’t offer in-home boarding due to having young children, I specialize in reliable drop-in visits and dog walks. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a walk to burn off some energy, or some companionship while you're away, I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to their needs. I’m calm, patient, and tuned in to what each dog needs to feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family and always provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I’m already used to structured walks, feeding schedules, and giving dogs the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan visits and walks. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and comfortable. I understand that dogs feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I follow your instructions closely to make sure things like feeding, walks, and playtime happen just the way your pet expects. I always check that doors and gates are secure, make sure your pet has fresh water, and keep a close eye on their behavior and energy during each visit. Whether it’s a slow-paced walk for a senior dog or a game of fetch in the yard, I take the time to meet your pet’s specific needs. Trust and communication are important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you are away.

About: I love dogs and cats but not just that, I spend a lot of time with them. Having a dog of my own and sitting my friends cats, i’ve grown to make animals a part of my life and i enjoy spending time with them. I walk and feed my dog everyday, making sure he is happy and has everything he needs. Taking him on walks makes his and my day better. Following pet parent’s instructions throughly, I understand that every pet is different and no one knows their pets better than their owners. But not just that, as a owner my self i’ve dealt wit various situations while walking my dog and his as well as my safety is a top priority, so making sure to avoid any unsafe situations and environments makes me feel more secure and comfortable about my care for him.

I have personally cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I have experience with senior cats and dogs as well as experience with medication administration. I used to have three Siberian huskies, and am comfortable with active, large dogs as well as small dogs.

I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, comfortable, and loved. I am available during the weekdays and most weekends to maximize time spent with your loved ones. For doggy daycare, I will be onsite most of the day, leaving for errands (when required) no more than 30 min at a time. I can ensure multiple potty breaks during the day, offer playtime, and walks for exercise. For house sitting I can guarantee large chunks of time (up to 2 hours) during a visit, up to four times a day including a late night check-in (as late as 10pm) and early morning check-in (as early as 6am) but typically do not stay full time or overnight. Willing to discount house sitting pricing for multiple animals in the home. For boarding I will be onsite most of the day, but could be gone up to four hours at a time on occasion.

About: I have had a passion and love for taking care of pets since I was a little girl. In my adult life, I still carry on this passion greatly. In the last 20 years, I have a puppy who 2 years old. She is so well behaved and loves playing with other dogs! Because of this, I have a lot of understanding with dogs and their natural behaviors! I have also had some experience taking care of pets for my friends and family! It’s safe to say that you can call me the dog whisperer. I am currently a teacher working from home. Therefore, I am pretty much available everyday to take care of your precious doggies. I am very flexible! During the covid 19 pandemic, my family and I are being very cautious, following social distancing guidelines and taking all the necessary precautions to ensure health and safety! I have a large fenced backyard where your dog can play, two individual crates if the dog needs to be crated, and my wonderful 2 year old dog to keep your furry friend company! I take our pup for a walk at least twice a day. Therefore, if your doggy needs a walk we can surely take them. Taking care of pets is a natural thing for me. I can always find time to take care of them. I plans ahead of time to fit the next day to accommodate my chores, work and pets needs. I make sure to always watch the dogs that I watch and supervise play, as well as make sure they receive all the attention and care that they need. I will treat your furry friend like a family member!

“I need someone last minute to take care of my dog due to work schedule and Penjulee came through quick! She responded fast, accepted my care, and I paid right away. She kept me updated and sent me pics and videos of my dog. I appreciated her very much for taking good care of my big boy. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Jen is kind and caring about the dogs she sits. Her older dog and Bella do well together. So does the other dog who is also older than Bella. And she has enough indoor space and outdoors on deck and grass for the dogs to have variety in their surroundings. She also walks them 2 or 3 times a day, another plus. And her doggie healthy biscuits that she bakes has Bella begging for more!!”
