“I have always been very happy with Maria watching our dogs. I have used her any time we go on vacation and my daughter is a regular customer now too. The thing I like best ( and my dogs like too) is this is not a kennel- it’s a home that they become part of the family. My dogs never liked kennels and became very upset whenever I brought them to one. At Maria’s they jumped out of the car and were happy to be there - like visiting a relative home. I’m very glad I found Maria and most of all my dogs are very glad too!”

“What a wonderful home away from home for Tilly ! We were in a last minute crunch and Rosemarie responded instantly as we had a very short timeframe in which to find a booking. Her previous reviews had me feeling very comfortable in my frantic search when I was in need of a safe place for Tilly. Boy did we get way more than that! We received daily pictures,videos and messages and could see that this was indeed the absolute perfect placement for her. A fenced in yard to run freely and some company on the couch was an added bonus for sure! Our number one priority was only for her safety during her stay and we certainly could not have asked for anything more. We truly hit the jackpot and our family will be calling on Rosemarie again when we find the need.Her care,communication and flexibility are huge assets and we never had a single worry about the level of care being given; it was both exceptional and above and beyond ! Tilly no doubt will be returning !”

“We were so lucky to find Lily! Their family was absolutely gracious and Mio had a blast! Lily provided plenty of photos and we felt confident leaving him in good hands. We will 100% book again! Thank you Lily!”

“Our boxer, Daisy, stayed with Valerie while we vacationed for a week in Florida. Valerie and her family were great from the start, not only with Daisy but also entertaining my eight year old son when we arrived for an introductory visit. They had plenty of room for Daisy to run around and two playful but well behaved dogs of their own that accepted Daisy in. Valerie provided updates during the week to let us know how Daisy was adapting and getting along with everyone and how much her family loved having her. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times knowing our hectic travel schedule. The next time we go away for an extended period, Valerie is definitely my first contact attempt.”

“Donna was great. She treated my dog like he was her own. I felt extremely confident that Guinness was being very well taken care of. Guinness came home very happy but tired from all the fun he had playing with Donna's dogs. I will definitely use Donna and her services again. I'm very happy. I found her thank you so much.”

About: I currently own two dogs a mini Australian Shepard and a cocker spaniel. But, my family is a huge dog loving family and I have also owned labs, retrievers, and collies. I have a fenced backyard with a doggy door that holds about an acre of land and I live on a very quiet road with hiking trails across from my house that I bring my dogs into all the time! I’m work 3 times a week at Ridgewood Country Club in Danbury. I can leave during my breaks to tend to your pets. If they are staying at my home I have a doggy door and fenced in backyard. And then the remainder of the week I am free! I have a doggy door inside my home with a fenced in backyard for the 3 days I can’t be at home all day long. All other days I would love to take the dogs hiking and make sure they have a great time! I do own two dogs that are very friendly. But they can also be seperated into my basement if other dog is not friends with them. I also have a lot of experience with cat sitting my neighbors cats.

“My cat Stan was boarded for a few nights at Bianca’s. She took excellent care of him and he felt very comfortable there. She posted many pictures and provided updates. Thanks for your great service!”

“Volha was great to our dog. She sent me pictures on a regular basis while he was in her care. Her daughter was super sweet to our dog as well, which was awesome. Thanks for everything Volha!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Even with all the rain that week, Jomini and her family took wonderful care of our Bella, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. She also sent us pictures throughout the week, which meant so much because we missed Bella so much. We had complete peace of mind knowing Bella was in such caring hands. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”

“Loretta loves the dogs and they are family members in her home. Lots of pictures and videos sent while away. Welcoming and warm environment. We will be back!!”

“We brought our Bernese, Romeo, to Michele when we were expecting our baby so we were in the hospital for a few days. Michele offered to take him a day earlier for us so we could get ready for the arrival of our baby, and was able to keep him an extra day last minute when we were returning home. Romeo had a great time with Michele’s dog, Duke. She sent us photos and kept us updated during the few days Romeo was with her. We knew he was in great hands while staying at her house. We will definitely use Michele again!”

“Hi Julia, thank you so much for taking care of Chippie. I appreciate your updates and the love you’ve shown to her. Everything looks great, and Chippie seems so happy when she sees you. Looking forward to booking with you again!”

“Claudia is great! This was the third time I left my dog with her and every time our experience was very good. She sends the pictures of the dog everyday and that gives us comfort that our baby is happy. ?”

“OMG. Isabel was amazing!!!!! There’s really just not much else to say, she was absolutely AMAZING. I have not 1 but 2 pups (that go everywhere with me) so that definitely heightened my worries of leaving them with someone I did not know. But, from the moment I met her at the meet & greet I just knew I was making the right choice and that my dogs would be safe. She truly cares about these animals and it really shows. Not only does she care but she is super smart and really knows what she is doing. Always one step ahead & ensuring their safety. I can’t thank her enough. I now look forward to planning trips knowing I have her! ?”

“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”
