Dog Boarding in Kensington, CT

“Sean and Jill were great! They helped me very last minute and although I have a semi aggressive dog, they were very welcoming and not discouraged at all. Their house is perfect for dogs as they have a small doggy door. My dog followed Sean right into his house upon seeing him outside so he must have felt a good vibe haha. They also responded very quickly to messages and offered to feed him the same food they feed their dogs. Would 100% recommend them!!!”

“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Melanie was absolutely exceptional with my pug, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made it easy to relax while I was away. My pug is a quirky girl with plenty of personality, and it was clear she was comfortable, happy, and truly cared for the entire time. Melanie provided regular updates and photos that showed just how attentive and loving she was. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and genuinely thoughtful pet sitter, Melanie is the one to book. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and would recommend her to anyone—especially fellow pug parents!”

“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

“Khanh and Tommy took wonderful care of my senior dog for several days while we were traveling. They sent multiple pictures a day of my dog being well cared for and enjoying himself with their own dogs. I was very relaxed knowing he was going to be in good hands with this very loving family. We will definitely consider having him stay with them again the next time we need a place for our dog. Thank you!”

“Grizzly had a great time with Emma and Marco!! Their home and fenced yard were well set up for doggies. From meet and greet to picking him up after our trip we felt very much at ease that Grizzly will receive great care. We received daily updates and appreciated the great communication. Highly recommend and would love to use them again.”

“I dropped off my two dogs with Tiffany and felt very comfortable. She is so calm and good with animals, that I knew, even though one of my dogs is very skittish, it would work out. My dogs played with her gentle lab and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the week. The fenced in yard and that Tiffany is home during the day are huge pluses. Definitely will use Tiffany in the future.”

“Agnes is a wonderful sitter. She sends photos and videos everyday. My family had a great winter break while my dog enjoyed staying with Agnes. I strongly recommend her as the best pet sitter.”

About: I grew up with dogs-- Freckles, Shadow, Trixie and Coco! Rosie was my first dog on my own -- 13 years together and she recently passed away. I'm looking to fill the gap by taking care of other people's pups. I will treat your dog like my own. I know what it feels like to worry when entrusting the care of your loved one. I love a good snuggle and going for walks, and I will keep you updated with photos while you're away! I work close to my home, so I can go home on lunch for a quick potty break. I like going for walks. I took care of Rosie for 13 years, so I am comfortable with the integration into my life and spending time with a dog at home. What's the point of having a dog if you're not hanging out together? Morning, noon, after work (4:45 p.m.) and before bed -- we go out for potty breaks. We go for a walk and play with toys on the floor together. We can set up a bed and/or crate. I have a crate for medium sized dogs and also doggy steps if needed. I also have a room off the kitchen that could be a hang out area and closed off if that's the kind of set-up your dog is used to. It has slider doors to the back porch (sunshine and a little bit of a view). One door could be closed and then roam between room and kitchen with a doggy/childcare divider on the other end. It just depends on what your dog needs and prefers and we can figure it out together.

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”
