Home Away From Home

I have been a dog owner all my life. I've enjoyed caring for other people's dogs for the last 15 years. I am trained in dog CPR and First Aid. I live on a quiet cul-de-sac road with an ample acre yard to play. I'm happy to support any training efforts, I am GoodPup training certified. I love to play outside. There are tons of trails nearby to walk/hike here in East Haddam (my dog is my geocaching buddy). My lab would graciously share her swimming spots. Fetch, training, frisbee, you name it! I am willing to transport your dog, if needed. There is usually 24 hour care here in the summer months. When you leave your dog with us, they will be treated like one of the family. Cassie cannot wait to meet a new furever friend, come play!

Darcy and her family were so wonderful with our 2 dogs! They got lots of love and attention. They got lots of exercise too! Our poor older dog ended up having health issues while there and they handled it gracefully and really very great with communicating the concerns. I could not recommend her enough and would hope to use her in the future if needed.

We love having Darcy visit our cat, Happy, when we need to be away for a few days. She is dependable and reliable and makes sure to spend time with her. She makes Happy…happy!

Darcy made sure my dog had a comfortable stay over the weekend. This is my second time booking with her- I liked her attention to detail and care for Gobi from the first visit. It is really nice to have somewhere I could board my dog stress-free and somewhere where he could socialize a bit. Definitely recommend!

Left my dog with her and a few other boarding dogs during the holidays. I was happy to see him get comfortable after a nervous first night, and he made a friend that he played with during his stay. Darcy and her boys took care of Gobi well and provided plenty of pictures, videos, and check-in observations that helped me feel comfortable being away from him for so long.

Darcy is excellent. Very reliable, and she took the time to spend some time with Happy (the cat), who was missing her family. I’d highly recommend!
