Doggy Day Care in Hamden

“Gracie had a great day with Mariana and her crew. Mariana welcomed her with open arms. Having the fenced back yard so accessible is perfect for letting dogs in and out as needed, but the house itself is comfy and warm -- just right for these snowy, cold winter days. I highly recommend Mariana as a loving dog care giver.”

About: I rescued my own dog from a shelter, and she required a lot of special training and patience. I worked with her on socialization, leash walking, and reducing pulling and barking around other dogs, and I have successfully helped her improve in all of these areas. Since she was a puppy when I adopted her, I also have experience with the patience, consistency, and care that younger dogs require. In addition, I care for a senior dog, so I am experienced in recognizing when a dog has reached their physical limit during walks and understanding how to adjust care based on their needs. Having experience with both younger and older dogs, as well as both large and small breeds, has taught me how to handle dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and training levels with confidence and care. I am currently in school but there are only three days a week I am completely booked with classes. My Mondays and Fridays and weekends are completely open and would love to spend my free time around more dogs! I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets while they are in my care. Since I live in an apartment, I make sure the space is pet-friendly, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful to animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely to help pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety during walks, monitor pets closely around other animals, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and affection. I also provide updates and communication so owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care.

“Max had a great first day of daycare with Cheyanne and her pups. Leading up to this stay, Cheyanne was very friendly, quick to respond, answered all my questions, and seemed very knowledgeable. She sent some cute photos, and Max came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book again!”

“My dog bear loves going over to Alaina and Jake’s, and they love having him over! They’ve been able to work with my schedule, and take last minute bookings as well. I love that they send me pics of bear throughout the day and keep me updated. I know bears in good hands and safe at their house.”

“Stephanie took great care of my beagle for three days while I had to travel out of state. He came home to me exhausted and happy after full days of playing and walks. Thanks Stephanie!”

“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”

“We took Frances to daycare as a first step before considering boarding. From the very beginning, Raeven was very kind and welcoming. It was our first time using this service, and it couldn’t have gone better. Now we feel at ease knowing that our pup will stay in a place we trust.”

About: I have grown up with dogs. I have always loved animals and now I currently live in an apartment. Right now, I am not able to have pets of my own! I travel for work from time to time and it is just not the right time for me to have a pet of my own. So, I will watch yours and love yours like it is my own! I have always had really big dogs, and I am also good with little dogs! I cannot wait to meet my new furry friend! You can go on a vacation or quick get away and know that your pet is having the time of their life! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! I am a newly crowned work from home gal! A walk, a pet, and a potty break can easily happen in between emails and meetings! My apartment have a dog park that we can blow off steam in. I also just have a natural ability to get pups excited for walks and cat excited to chase lasers! I will be keeping an eye out to keep my furry friend safe!

About: I am a veterinary nurse as well as a certified dog trainer. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pup as one of my own! I work from home. I do virtual dog training sessions and only work one day out of the house, so very easy for me to take care of your pup in between sessions. We have a fenced in yard with plenty of toys as well as going for daily walks in our very safe neighborhood. I also have two very friendly medium size pups who love to play.

“Vanessa was a great sitter for our dog Buttercup! We received many pictures while we were away which was very comforting. Even though Buttercup got sick during her stay, Vanessa took great care of her. Thank you Vanessa!”

“Kristen was great with our 3 month old puppy. She was flexible, sent us plenty of pictures, and responded quickly. It was a serene getaway for him and he looked very comfortable in her home. She took him on walks and he walked really well with her. On the second day drop off Kameron was wagging his tail as we walked inside and went straight for a prized green toy he loved. The pictures she sent were beautiful and she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her would absolutely use her again.”

About: Hi i’m Laci! I have a French Bull dog, a German Shepard and Chow mix and a Lab and Rottweiler mix and used to have a Boston terrier. I make all dogs in their best environment possible. I dog sit big dogs and small dogs and do it for others around my neighborhood as well! I am very experienced with dogs and do very well with training, walking them and treating them and playing with them to their own needs. I am a D1 field hockey player so I usually train and go to PT in the mornings and am mostly free around 10am-12am. I am also pretty flexible with time. I trained all of them and walked all of them at the same time. I keep my little dog separated from my two big dogs because the french bulldog does not play nice with my one big dog. I do this so their is no conflict with my dogs going forward.

“Olivia was very communicative and took great care of my dog Penny. Would absolutely reach out to her again for dog sitting.”

Christopher B.

“Brianna took great care of Peanut. She was responsive in communication and kept me updated with photos of Peanut. I was a bit late in sending Peanut and early in picking up Peanut, but Brianna accommodated my schedule. Peanut seems to have made friends with Brianna's dog and is very happy when being picked up. Peanut also seems to have had a comfortable time on Brianna's bed.”
