Doggy Day Care in Hanover

“As a newcomer to Connecticut, I needed a dog sitter on short notice and was initially anxious about leaving my dog, Gingi. However, Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness, providing regular updates without any prompting. Receiving photos of Gingi during my lunch breaks reassured me that he was well cared for and enjoying himself. Additionally, Gingi always smelled wonderful when I picked him up. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Highly recommended—10/10”

About: I love to take care of pets! I am home working in our yard, garden, with our chickens, cooking, generally creating a millennial grandma cozy cottage. I always say there are a few things that make a house a home - animals, plants, and good kitchen smells. We have a dog and a couple cats running around, and, much like our kids enjoy having all the friends come to visit us so that our house is bustling with love! I have to say that I do not allow pets on furniture but worry not; all furry visitors have lots of soft spaces to snuggle, a large fenced-in yard to run about (maybe dig a hole to relax in the the sunshine?), love, attention, treats galore. I am not afraid of larger animals, and I can keep those separate that are either feeling feisty around new friends or shy until acclimation in our fenced patio within the yard. I keep a good eye on everyone, I'm patient with accidents, and its no sweat to accommodate special needs. Please let us enjoy hosting your family at ours, making our house a home. Other than taking my children to and from school, I am home. Additionally, my partner and children are six more eyes, hugging arms & throwing balls. I accommodate my clients' requests and always aim to over-deliver. I am happy to send photos and videos throughout our play date, and respond to questions in a very timely manner.

“Herbie was completely tuckered out after his day with Albert. Albert is very knowledgeable and helpful with dog behavior! Excited to keep sending my puppy to Alberts!”

“Shelby was wonderful!!!! She took such great care of Flash and I felt comfortable with him on her care the entire time. She sent plenty of pictures and was super communicative. Flash was tired and happy when we picked him up!”

About: I have taken care of pets ranging from ferrets to cats and dogs. I’ve done overnights at friends and family’s homes and have hosted dogs and cats for a few days to a couple weeks. I currently foster dogs through East Coast Canine Rescue. I’ve fostered 9 week old puppies and adult dogs up to 65 lbs. I can work with your dog on leash training and other manners on our walks. I use positive reinforcement and strong communication skills to make for a fun and relaxing walk or playtime for your dog. I also love cats and would be happy to take care of your cat as well! I am a high school math teacher and am home off and on during the weekend and summer and almost every week day after 3 pm during the school year. I am open to caring for dogs with all types of needs and am very active. I pretty much love dogs more than humans and can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I am a teacher so I am very available on days and weekends in the summer. I am an early riser and could stop by mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I have a five year old dog, Pria, who I leash walk 2 times a day and play with in the yard using an e-collar. I also attend the dog park to help socialize her. She is very friendly and I am also happy to socialize your dog with Pria as well and train them to leash walk together if interested!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals. If they have four legs, I pretty much enjoyed to be around. Zoos are my place to experience all breeds of life. I currently work from home. This has allowed me to have all the time needed to bond with pets. I also enjoy my 3 acres of space. I want to have it used by any pet who loves to roam outside. Just alot of space to entertain pets. My yard is not all fenced in. However its away from any sort of traffic. Very quite and alot of pet friendly homes. I can assure to put safety first at all cost.

About: Throughout my life, I've been surrounded by dogs and cats. I understand their body language, I'm very affectionate with them, and that's why I feel they feel at home when they're with me. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule to always take care of your pets🥰 I easily adapt to your schedule just let me know in advance! I have a space for your dog and I’m always available to take him for walks as often as he wants! I appreciate your trust🥰

About: I have been taking care of animals for majority of my life, where I had labs, english springer spaniels, many cats, and ferrets. During high school, I had two jobs that related to animal care, where I had worked at a dog walking place, and a Veterinary Hospital. During my time at the dog walking place, where I worked there during the summer of 2023 and 2024, I had walked dogs, taught them basic commands, and much more. At the Veterinary Hospital, I mainly helped with cleaning, although when needed, I helped restrain animals, distract them when getting vaccines, and much more. I am also a certified veterinary assistant. Lastly, during my high school career, where my high school had an Agri-Science program, I had helped with cleaning animal cages of many species, such as ferrets, birds, chinchillas, rabbits, and much more, along with running their doggy daycare. I’m currently working Monday-Friday in the morning/early afternoon but I would love to walk your furry friends in the evenings (anytime after 3:30) and weekends. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large yard. I always ensure animals are playing safely and do not get injured. I think every animal needs a close eye on them to prevent any injuries:)

“Best doggy babysitter in short notice! Would use her again! Charlie loved hanging with her other dogs.”

About: Hi! As a lifelong dog lover and owner, I know how much your furry friends mean to you. I run an Airbnb specially designed for travelers with dogs—a true paradise for pups! My property is optimized with plenty of dog-friendly features to ensure both you and your pet have a comfortable, stress-free experience. I’m passionate about providing the best care for dogs, offering them a safe and loving environment where they can play, relax, and feel at home. Whether you need a sitter or a dog-friendly place to stay, I’m here to make life easier for you and your pup! My two Yorkies and their guests are blessed to have a human who is never too busy for them! I work from home full-time, but most of my work is self-directed and so I have ample time and opportunity to take dogs out pretty much whenever they want to go! We spend lots of time playing in the yard! The property is huge over 13 acres! We are set very very far back from the road which rarely has more than one car on it. The entire house is dog friendly, and we have ample room for walks and playtime.

About: COVID19 & my services: Special precautions I am taking **Upon Request by you** - wearing gloves, spraying items I’ve touched with my Lysol before leaving (such as door knobs), wearing a face mask. Social distancing during your free meet and greet. Free Video call meet and greets upon request. Please continue reading for more info about me and my pet sitting services below! Thank you and be well. I love dogs and cats! My love for animals started early in life, growing up always having pets and even making some of my first few bucks dog walking for neighbor’s dogs. I come from a family of care-takers, nurses and teachers, so naturally, I love taking care of people and what better way to do that than ensure their pets are cared for, too! I will make sure your precious doggies and pets are loved and taken care of just like it was my own dog or pet. There’s nothing like the peace of mind, knowing your beloved fur-baby is getting the attention, food, water, bathroom breaks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and exercise he or she deserves while you’re away or at work. I’ll be sure to give your dog and/or cats lots of love! One of my proudest memories is when my dog graduated “Puppy Manors Class”. I am happy to know what you’d like to work on with your dog in terms of behavior and training, and help in any way I can - or, follow any commands and training strategies you already have in place. Cesar Millan is one of my favorite dog trainers, for the way he is able to understand dogs and speak their language. Something interesting I’ve learned from him is that dogs actually DO have a sense of time, “Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when you’re gone. If you think your dog knows when it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our routines and habits, and they also sense how much time has passed. One study showed how dogs responded differently to their owners being gone for different lengths of time.” I understand the value and importance of a reliable pet care taker - our animals depend on us and miss us just like humans do with their friends and family, that’s why I know how important having a reliable and loving pet sitter is. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please message me first for your free meet and greet. Thank you!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve always had a deep love for all animals and caring for them. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any and all pet needs!

“I highly recommend Chrystyanna! She was very sweet and my dogs had a lot of play time. They came home tired and happy after their day with her. I also received very funny pictures of them which I loved. I would definitely rebook!”

About: I'll be honest, I am doing this because I need extra money. But I want to make extra money spending time with your pets because I love being around animals and I want to spend actual time with them giving them love, exercise, and a good time. I am able to spend actual time with them as I am a teacher and do not work during the summer. Animals deserve to be shown affection as much as possible throughout the day especially when a lot of their time is spent waiting for owners to come home. Don't let your pets wait around for you, give them someone to hangout with in the meantime! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes! I know how important it is for animals to be cared for meaning being fed, bathed, and given a good rubbin. If you have any questions, feel free to ask (: I am a teacher on summer break so I am fully available for your pets! I love to take them for walks and play with them. I care for pets by taking them for walks and to the bathroom based on their schedule at home. I love to play with dogs and give them rubs. I love making new dog friends.

About: With being surrounded by family and friends who are vet techs & pet clinic staff, I have had experience with dogs & cats for a very long time. I absolutely adore animals and have always wanted to make it my job to go above and beyond and give all the love to fur babies so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. This is professionally my third year. With being an active girl, I love to go on walks, hike, go for drives & listen to music. Pet sitting is very compatible with my personality and routine. When I visit a home or stay with a pet, I make sure to follow every instruction to keep the dog, or cat, in the same routine so the animal is as comfortable as possible. It is important to me to not disrupt the normal for an animal and keep them feeling loved and safe. ♥️

About: I have had dogs, various other pets, and have rescued quite a few wild animals throughout my life. My large immediate family always counts on me to watch their animals when they go on vacation. My son recently bought a house with a nice yard and he took his dog with him. As you can see from the photos, that dog and I spent a lot of time together. I still make his food from scratch and take him for hikes as often as I can. I make my own hours and now that I do not have a dog around pushing me to walk the town, several times a day, I feel this is a good fit to keep me active. I have a lot of experience with a 90lb nervous pitty, and have a number of safe and private locations in mind for walks. I also have a large crate and access to a large yard if needed. I genuinely care for Animals and will put in the effort it takes to ensure each unique personality has a great experience.

About: My wife Jessica and I work from home and have plenty of time to take care of your bet friend. I have been taken care of dogs and training dogs for many years. I’m trained in medical/psych of our best friend. Love to enjoy walking in our 4 acres were doggies can exercise and play. I am a retired Veteran with lots of experience in medical and care for animals. I work from home and have lots of time to spend to play and walk the dogs. We have a 2 private room inside the house with plenty of space for dogs. A large fenced 10x40 outside dog play area and all the chew toys to entertain 😀

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was 25. I’m currently 43. I love all animals. They will get lots of love and attention under my care. I currently stay home full time. So I have plenty of time to give my attention to all animals. I will follow all of your routines that you have with your pup. I will take plenty of walks with your pet. They will be able to use the potty as often as needed. And they are welcome to cuddle with me and my two small pups on my couch.
