Doggy Day Care in Hartford

“I recently adopted a dog, Phoebe, who was initially very afraid of people and has high separation anxiety. I contacted Brijana, for dog walking/day care on a regular basis on the days I have to work longer hours. Brijana has been so patient and friendly to my dog that she warmed up within a few minutes. Now Phoebe wags her tail as soon as she sees her! Brijana does an awesome job keeping me up to date throughout the day with pictures and notifications, and responds quickly when I need to reach her. Im looking forward to being a repeat client. ”

“John was flexible with drop off and pick up times, which I appreciated. Bear was running around with a happy face when I came to get him and he slept the rest of the day, so I know he had fun!”

“Leah and her family have such a loving, dog-friendly home! This was the first time I left my 5 month old pup and I am confident she had a good day. I was updated constantly with photos of her playing and of her resting. Leah and her family are certainly aware of dogs’ (and puppies!) needs. I plan to definitely use their services again. Thank you, Leah!”

“What a blessing in disguise that our previous dog sitter canceled last minute. I have found our new go to person. The entire family was very invested in her and her well being while she spent time with them. Right out of the car on our way into the house Callie was excited and ready to enjoy her day. I have previously taken her to other places where she has growled/coward before getting to the front door and left without second thought as she comes first. Yesenia was phenomenal with communication, updated me without hesitation within what felt like just seconds and periodically through out the day. Sent her a cute little report card which may seem small but left a huge impact and was greatly appropriated. If I could give her more than five stars I would hands down. She may not be the “cheapest” but I would prefer her over others any day of the week and we will definitely be coming back.”

About: My two fur babies lived for 15 and 16 years. Since then, I’ve decided to love my friends and families animal's, spoil them and then give them back! They will be in great hands and receive lots of love until you return home! I work full time from home and enjoy going out for walks throughout the day. I love company of my four legged friends when doing so. I am happy to come to your house after the work day and go for a walk in your neighborhood also! Or if they just like company during the day, they can always come here! My 18 year old son also loves pets as we both miss ours very much! However, as he takes college classes and I work full-time we like the freedom that Rover has to offer while still having the opportunity to help our “neighbors” and getting our pet fix! Your animals will always be on a leash while outside and are very safe in our home.

About: I've raised puppies, have some experience with working dogs, and most recently helping to train a service dog. I do this for companionship and fun! I'm currently a stay at home dad. I'm available to help you!! I'm open to any requests or unusual requests, unusual hours etc. All you have to do is ask! I have a fenced yard, and a mini goldendoodle to keep your baby company! I also have a doggie pool, hose activities, plenty of toys and an extra crate!

“Brittany did a great job looking after Angel! She immediately made Angel feel calm and was very attentive and welcoming to her. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns and sent pics throughout the stay. Definitely would recommend Brittany and will absolutely be using her services in the future.”

“Michael is so kind, caring, and very responsible! The best sitter we have ever used on Rover. Our dog had a great time and was well taken care of. Will book him again ?”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and it’s truly a LOVE of mine. I have experience handling pups of all breeds, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to senior companions. My background includes daycare and overnight care, administering medications, daily walks, and working with e-collars for training support. I would be honored to get to know your dog and provide them with the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I am currently only working part time this summer! I am available for the most part any time Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. On Tuesday - Thursday my availability opens after 3pm. I have a fenced in yard space and a super friendly lovely pup of my own. I can crate doggies, as needed, but they are also welcomed to doggie begs and human beds :)

About: I’ve spent the last 6 years caring for puppies, helping them with potty training, feeding routines, and building positive habits. I love going on walks and playing outside with dogs to keep them happy and active. While I don’t have senior dog experience yet, I’m patient, attentive, and always eager to learn more about dog care. I’'m currently working home, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for daycare and boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a secure fenced yard and one friendly dog who love making new friends. If needed, I can safely crate your pup for comfort and peace of mind.

About: I work from home so I’m available during the week. I have had multiple pets since I was a kid and love animals! I will send you pictures daily and would set up a meet and greet with my small dog. I work from home so I can board your dog overnight or just for a day. I don’t have a fenced yard, but would be happy to walk them in our quieter neighborhood. I don’t have a fenced yard, but love walking my dog through our quiet neighborhood. I can even take them to a dog park if it’s ok.

About: Jill's Play 'N Stay Dog Daycare & Boarding Dogs have been in my family since I was about 10 years old. When I purchased my home, I got my first pup soon afterward and enjoyed almost 17 years of being her pet parent. Friends and family have trusted me to dog-sit for years because they know their pets will be safe and have lots of fun in my care. I have a well-behaved male 4-year-old Shih Tzu who welcomes new friends for play days or sleepovers! I also carry daycare/boarding insurance for extra peace of mind. I'm self-employed and work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I'm available to walk and play with your dog at various times during the day. While hosting daycare or boarding guests, I stay at home unless I have an appointment or need to run an errand (typically 2 hours or less), to avoid additional separation anxiety and the issues it can cause. Drop-offs are accepted starting at 7:30 a.m., with pick-ups until 7:30 p.m., unless alternate arrangements are made. I require a Meet & Greet before booking all first-time clients, and my New Client Intake Form will be sent to clients to complete before their pet's initial stay. This allows me to clarify any questions about a dog's care at drop-off and provides a written reference if needed during the stay. One thing my years as a pet parent have taught me is that a tired dog is a well-behaved one! My dog and I will ensure your pet is exercised and entertained throughout their stay with us. I have a dog door and a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room to play and explore, so your pup can go outside whenever they'd like. My dog is not typically confined in my home, and yours will also be "free range" while staying with us.

“Debbie was amazing! She gave our new 13 week old puppy great care! I had a last minute change in plans and needed a sitter for the entire day and Debbie made herself available on super short notice. Her consistent and ongoing communication throughout the day put us at ease. Our kids were so excited every time we received photos during the day. I highly recommend Debbie!!!!!!”

“Cayde really enjoyed doggie day care with Tammy and her family. Tammy kept us update and even sent pictures of Cayde’s visit with her! We really appreciate knowing that we left our baby in such good hands while we celebrated our grand baby’s birthday party!”

About: treat every pet like family! I’m a calm, patient, and caring sitter with a flexible schedule and a big heart for animals.

I’ve always had cats at home, and I’ve also helped care for my friends’ dogs over the years — walking them, feeding them, and making sure they felt calm and loved while their owners were away. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s unique habits and needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a full day of sitting, I make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for. care for pets with calm energy, consistency, and a lot of love.

I keep litter boxes and feeding areas spotless, and I give each pet one-on-one time for cuddles, play, or just peaceful company.

My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free until you’re back.

“Brette was phenomenal with our dog Kida. Kida is a bit anxious but Brette and her family were able to give her a ton of love and attention and by the end of the day Kida had befriended the entire family and all their pets. Brette and her family were considerate toward what made Kida comfortable and allowed her to adjust at her own comfort. I can’t recommend Brette enough, 10/10 will book again.”
