Dog Boarding in East Canaan, CT

“Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! She was so responsive, sent lots of pics and I’ve never seen my dog so happy in someone else’s home! 10/10 experience!!! Thank you Nicole for taking such perfect care of Misha!!!”

Inna K.

“From the first contact, I loved James' response. He first asked about meeting Neo to see if he would be a good match for his family, which gave me peace. He kept in contact by sending us pics and updates during our time away. No regrets! 🙏🏻”

Tania C.

“Outstanding experience with our sweet rescue puppy. This was our dogs first tine being boarded and we felt very comfortable; Nicole took such great care of her and kept us updated throughout the whole stay. Would 100% use her again. It's obvious she truly loves animals.”

Olivia S.

“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”

Kim W.

“Finnegan had a great time! Easy communications and great updates. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back for future stays and plays!”

Sarah C.

“Wonderful care from John and Dolly! They loved their welcome gift. My dogs stayed with John after 5 day car trip across country for a move. They had been very stressed and John gently helped them settle in. We look forward to their visit in 2 weeks!”

“Janice took great care of our almost one year old golden retriever on a recent weekend stay. She was caring, thorough, and only takes on one pet at a time so she can provide one on one care and attention. Ellie loved getting to know Janice’s two dogs and cat and enjoying the beautiful fall weather from the relaxing farm atmosphere. Janice sent frequent updates and photos throughout Ellie’s stay, which made it easy to relax and enjoy our time away. I would definitely book her again!”

Dana M.

“This was our first time leaving Olive and we couldn’t have asked for a bitter sitter! Karina was great! She gave us plenty of updates so we knew Olive was in good hands. Olive also loved her pup Arielle! We will definitely be using Karina again for our next trip!”

Carissa G.

“Franny took wonderful care of my 14 year old Charlie overnight. She’s a very kind person and Charlie felt completely comfortable with her. He also got along well with her dog. I will definitely be using her again.”

Terri L.

“Magnolia took my 3 dogs (2 of which are 80 lbs) on very short notice, and was extremely flexible with changes and delays to my trip. The dogs seemed to have a great time and I enjoyed the pictures she sent of the dogs running and playing. I will definitely be leaving my little pack with Magnolia when I travel in future.”

Marilea R.

“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”

Jana P.

“Nell was friendly, flexible about drop off/pick up, and so kind to our pup for her first stay away from us. Nell made our girl feel right at home and kept her happy in our absence.”

About: Hi there! I'm Ashley, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom ready to give your pup the care and comfort they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs, especially after caring for my fur daughter, my sweet long-haired Chihuahua who was by my side for 17 wonderful years. I understand the slower pace and extra TLC that older pups need, and I’m here to provide just that. We’ve also had two German Shepherd mixes in the past, so I’m no stranger to larger breeds. While I typically prefer small to medium-sized dogs for our home setup, I’m open to exceptions for well-mannered larger dogs — especially seniors. Because I work from home and my kids are at daycare during the day, it’s just me and your pup…which means plenty of calm, one-on-one attention and companionship in a quiet environment. I know how stressful it can be to find care you trust…especially when options in our area are limited. That’s why I treat every dog like family, with love, routine, and lots of affection. I’ll care for your furry loved one as if they were my own and will happily share updates and photos as often as you'd like to give you peace of mind while you're away. I provide attentive, loving care while fitting seamlessly into my daily routine. Because I work from home with a lot of flexibility, I can offer daily daycare with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also happy to provide overnight boarding for dogs who need a home-away-from-home. Throughout, I’ll keep you updated as much as you’d like, so you always feel comfortable and connected. I care for dogs in a safe, comfortable home environment where your dog will be treated like a valued family member. While I don’t have a fenced backyard, your dog will always be supervised and safe. They’re always free to explore and relax throughout the home. Because pets are part of the family, we often allow them on the couch and beds to snuggle and feel at home, but I’m always happy to follow your preferences to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved.

“Mary Ann Packard and my toy poodle Gabby had an initial meet and greet before Gabby’s stay with Mary Ann. For Gabby, it was love at first sight. While I was away, Mary Ann updated me on Gabby’s activities with texts and photos. Gabby seemed to be having so much fun, I feared that she would not want to return home. I found Mary Ann to be responsible, kind and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a dog-sitter. I would like to give her the highest rating possible.”

“Christine was the best! Our dogs felt comfortable and excited to hang out with her right away, and it’s clear that she loves all animals and that they love her in return. She sent many adorable photos and updates, which we appreciated, and even led our dogs in an amazing art project. We picked them up a few hours ago and they are both still sleeping off their weekend of fun. Definitely recommend!”

“Unconditionally Recommended! Completely trustworthy. Benjamin was attentive and gave superb care to my senior pit bull who has special behavioral needs. The setting is serene and accommodating. All communication was prompt, responsive, and focused on my dog having the best experience possible. I recommend Benjamin without hesitation.”

About: I've had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals over the years. From mice, rabbits, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks - I love to pamper them all! I've learned to understand each animals' individual needs and am hyperfocused in their comfort. Being a committed pet parent, I've experienced and indulged in all the milestones - so I'm ready for the puppy edition all the way through caring for your senior family member. Being very detailed oriented and personally spoiling my own critters, I can support even the most high maintenance of fur babies! My fiancé (also on Rover!) ensure your furbaby is entertained around the clock! I work from home and handle the early bird shift, including your pup in the sunrise (bright snd early) farm chores. My fiancé provides the daytime activities including long walks and hikes on our farm, supervised yard time, play time. Evening activities include additional walks and games. Pups will have their last walk and tucked in for the night around 1030PM. I am extremely conscious of pet safety and following instructions provided by owners. When pets are at my home, they will not have any interaction with other animals- just me and my fiancé (who is also on Rover!). Dogs will always be on a leash, with the exception of being enclosed in a secure fenced in area. We have a 1 acre fenced in yard where dogs can have supervised zoomie time. Dogs will never be left unattended in the yard. Our fur guests spending the day or night will have their own room with a bed, crate (if preferred for their comfort or if they are beavers), ad lib water, etc.

“Kristina and Jordan took such amazing care of my pup while I was away. Kristina and Jordan treated her with so much love, and sent many pictures and videos during the stay. I’m definitely an anxious pet parent, but their care actually allowed me to relax knowing that she was in the best hands possible and having a great little vacation of her own. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you guys so much!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.
