Safety, trust & environment

We offer care for both cats and dogs. Matt rescued a handsome young feral cat, Bootsie, nearly twenty years ago, but sadly, Bootsie passed away in the winter of 2023. With years of doting love, Boots turned from fierce and ornery into a pretty mellow family pet. Boots even surprised us all by accepting Mr. Bo Jangles into the family fold, and occasionally even snuggling with him! Whether you have a cat or a dog, Mr. Bo Jangles will treat your pet with respect, just as Bootsie learned. A few other perks: In addition to a fenced yard, our home is ideally located for commuters, right behind West Conn's Westside Campus. Our neighborhood is in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, ideal for leisurely walks full of sniffing and exploring. If for any reason your pet does not enjoy Mr. Bo Jangles' overtures of friendship, we have an excellent set up to keep them separate, including separate exits to the fenced in yard. Our whole house is completely pet friendly, with no spaces that are off limits to pets. Additionally, we are a smoke free home. Both May and Luca love animals and would love to give extra pets and snuggles if your pet enjoys children, but they will also respect their independence and wishes.

Pet care experience

We are a family of animal lovers! Matt and Brooke have three children: May, Luca, and one Mr. Bo Jangles - our 70lb rescue mutt. Matt works from home, and Bo is a fun loving, gentle, and patient goof who gets along with everyone he's ever met (two-legged and four-legged). When Bo first joined our family, we gave him the greatest gift of all: a fenced in yard. Bo Jangles would love to share his home, his yard and his walks with new friends.

Matthew was a great sitter! Bailey was well taken care of and seemed to have a good time. She had lots of space to roam and had their dog to play with. Matthew kept us informed and sent us pictures and videos. We would definitely have Bailey stay with Matthew again.

We boarded our two Bernese Mountain dogs and one mixed breed with them for four nights. I can’t say enough nice things about Matt and Brooke! They were great! They kept us up-to-date on the dogs by sending photos and if they had any questions, they reached out to us. I would HIGHLY recommend them and plan on using them again in the future

Matthew and his wonderful family took our pup in like she was one of their own. Photos, videos and daily updates set our mind at ease while we were away. They took such great care of her, I recommend them so highly!
