Doggy Day Care in Dwight, New Haven, CT

“I had to find a last minute sitter, and Howard was an absolute life-saver! Within an hour of sending him the first message, I was dropping my puppy off at his house. He communicated regularly with me throughout the day, kept her active, and was very receptive to her particular needs. Overall, an excellent experience. Would recommend highly!”

“Malik was great with our dog, Olive, who generally doesn't like not being with us. He also sent us pictures and updates on how she was doing during the day, and was easy to communicate and schedule with. Thanks, Malik!”

About: Moved from Miami to Connecticut and starting to be open for pet sitting :). Note: Although our current home base is New Haven, we will be in Miami mid-May 2025 through early August 2025. (Back in Connecticut as of 8/4/25) ABOUT US: We have been taking care of a variety of pets over 20 years with our own pets or taking care of others. We have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, to even fish and turtles! We have the most experience with dogs and cats, but we are open to take care of other fuzzy, feathery or scaly friends! BILINGUAL: Hablamos Español. ❤️ OUR HOME: We live in the 2nd floor of an apartment complex. Our community is safe to walk around :). FAMILY DOG: We have a small dog (Natsu: Neutered, 9 lb, Papillon) who is good with other dogs/cats. We usually keep a dog fence between the living room and bedroom for a few days/visits as they get to know each other. For house sitting, our pup typically has to come with us. WHAT WE DO: I am a props master/scenic designer/technician and Claudia works from home as an eligibility specialist. As long as it our pup Natsu can come with us and there is internet connection then Claudia can give your pets attention and care all day with the occasional errand run/gym, treating them like our own. We take pride in our customer service, attention to detail, expectations for your pets, and your home as well. We don't mind taking care of plants if needed :). We are also open to travel long distances and out of state! PET CARE: We take care of the pets inside our home. We have a day bed that we change out the sheets any time we have a pet over so they have a comfortable place to rest, we enjoy walking frequently around our safe neighborhood. We clean dogs paws any time we go for a walk. We also use pet friendly cleaning products only. With permission, we have dog seatbelts for safety to take on short trips to the park or run errands. We can also continue with any training for the pet as long as details are given. We can provide oral medications as needed. We have not had experience with injectables but we are not opposed to learning how and there is two of us to help!

“Mariana is the greatest!!! My little guy normally suffers from tremendous separation anxiety, however, within Mariana’s care he was a happy little puppy the entire time. Thank you again Mariana!”

“Stephanie has been very responsive to us in onboarding our 5 year old rescue to her care. She takes the time to get to know the dogs she cares for and works with them. Her calming way with the dogs inspires trust. We’ve done a one day visit in preparation for a longer stay. So far so great!”

“Always a pleasure letting Peanut stay with Brianna. Brianna is very accommodating with our schedule. Peanut is tired but super happy after a day. He likes Brianna a lot.”

“This was my first time using Rover and Cheyanne made everything really easy! From the meet and greet to the actual first day of day care, Cheyanne answered messages quickly, was so kind, and was great with our pup.”

“Mikayla and Justin are great, cannot thank them enough for their care and patience with a senior dog, Leyla.”

“Anthony and Monique did a wonderful job with our eight-week old puppy! He is too young to be left alone and we were definitely scared to leave him with someone we’ve never met, but after the meet & greet a few days prior-we felt a lot better! They both have been doing this for years and are extremely knowledgeable. I knew they knew what they were doing and I also knew my dog needed to socialize with the world. This was Arlo’s first time being away from us after being separated from his own parents & littermates just a few days before! Less than five minutes after dropping him off I was receiving video and picture updates, which was super awesome! I could easily see him in the videos enjoying himself and his new friend Lupie (their dog, who is super friendly, and very respectful), which Arlo also met during our meet & greet! There were no surprises.. other than the fact that the last two pictures they sent me, were the most professional, perfect portraits of our new pup 🐶!! I trust them completely & we already have our next doggydaycare scheduled! Peace of mind: they required his health records which just proves they are responsible and don’t just allow any dog to prance through their doors.. I know my puppy won’t be coming home sick 🤍🤍🤍”

About: five years ago today i got my rescue mutt, jackson, & he is an absolute treasure to me. i've got a nice backyard, dog parks, hiking trails, & beaches nearby. jack is especially gentle with small dogs & children & perfectly well-behaved with everyone else except squirrels & cats. i'm a freelance musician so my schedule varies a lot - some weeks i'm available 24-7, others i'm working down in nyc, or further out of town. i'm in the process of shifting towards a more local life & will update this space as that process continues, but for now, just ask & i'll answer right away. big backyard with tall fences, me & my very friendly small lab mutt mix (50 lbs), comfy home with lots of great places to run & play nearby - anything else, just ask.

“Zuleima accepted our request last minute and was very flexible and communicative, also through pictures! Virgola seemed very happy of her time there and loved playing with her kids—she didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely consider booking again. Thanks!”

“Sabina was awesome. Our plans when visiting New Haven changed several times and Sabina was very accommodating to meet our needs. Plus, Sam is normally quite shy around new people but warmed quickly to Sabina.”

About: Hi! Ive been pet sitting since I was 10 years old. Walking dogs, staying over night, or driving to the groomers, I'm open to anything! I grew up with both dogs and cats. I am originally from Bloomfield Hills, MI. I currently have a one year old mixed golden retriever at my house back home. We rescued him from the humane society last May. When I am home I spend lots of time with him! I am a full time student teacher, my hours are typically 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. I am available outside of that. I am very flexible and can often do short notice jobs. I will follow all instructions given to me by the owner to ensure they and their doggo are comfortable with the care I am providing. On walks, the dog will remain on leash unless instructed by the owner otherwise.

“Eileen and her partner were beyond amazing. My dog (rescue with unknown history) is generally scared of guys and anxious when separated from me, but not at Eileen's! Pup felt right at home instantly. Eileen sent me a bunch of adorable pictures throughout the day, which I super appreciated (pup's anxiety is second only to mine). And this was all on less than a day's notice, too. Can't thank Eileen enough -- would trust her with my precious ball of fur again in a heartbeat.”

“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”

Marion Regina M.

“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our Boston Terrier in her home for the day while we went to Busch Gardens. She was very quick to communicate with us before, during and after his stay. You could tell she loves dogs and wants to do whatever makes them happy. In our dog’s case that was fetch and snuggle. We highly recommend Rachel if you are looking for a loving person to care for your furry friend.”

Joy M.

“Bianka is a true dog lover and took care of my pup like her own. He seemed so comfortable, and the updates were much appreciated. I highly recommend Bianka and her family for a reliable pet sitter!”

“Justina did a great job in making Blu feel at home today. I was happy to see how well my dog and Brody were able to play together too!”

About: I work primarily from home throughout the week. This gives me the time needed to care for anyone's pet to ensure a safe, fun environment. I dog sat for 2 years prior to my new full time role. I have fostered dogs and now I have recently adopted my own. I love dogs and look to care for anyone's pet when you need it most. Please reach out to set up a meet and greet so I can be introduced to your family member and also visit my place to see if it is a suitable temporary environment for your pet. Thanks! Look forward to hearing from you. I am home most of the time and since I have a dog of my own, any pet will fit seamlessly into his routine as well. I'm sure my dog would love to make new friends as well! I live in a dog friendly community, dog park nearby, have a fenced courtyard, riverwalk in walking distance as well. I take my dog for at least one long walk (about an hour) per day and two other times aside from that. I make sure he doesn't eat any food scraps, anything from ground outside that could be harmful either. Smoke free and alcohol free home. Can also ensure any diet or food allergies are monitored appropriately.
