Pet Boarding in Mystic

“Dana just loves dogs and my dog is always very happy when she is with Dana. I have used her 3 times and would not hesitate to have my dog with her again! She also sends me wonderful pictures. I trust Dana!”

“We are so grateful to have found the absolute best dog sitter! Our two golden girls stay with Suzanne every single time we travel and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing they are in such loving hands! She and her kids are so awesome with them — lots of love, attention, and playtime. I always look forward to the daily updates and pics! It’s such a relief knowing our girls are not just being watched, but genuinely cared for like family. They’re always happy and well-adjusted when we pick them up. Can’t recommend her enough!”

“Our puppy had a great time staying at Brittany’s house for the day. I felt he was in good hands while we were gone for the day. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Brittany!”

About: I offer structured, enrichment-focused boarding and daycare in my home, with an emphasis on helping each dog feel safe, understood, and cared for. I’ve been training dogs since 2022 and welcome dogs of all training backgrounds, meeting every dog and owner with compassion, respect, and empathy. I’m comfortable using a variety of tools, including harnesses, e-collars, and prong collars, based on what works best for your dog. I’m a former Veterinary Technician with four years of experience, and I’m confident administering medications, caring for senior dogs, and closely monitoring health and behavior. Your dog’s comfort and well-being are always my top priorities. Boarding includes a structured walk, play and yard time, place/relaxation work, and a hike. For safety and peace of mind, dogs are crated when unsupervised, so boarding clients must be crate trained. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations, including rabies and distemper. To ensure the best fit and answer any questions, all new clients are required to complete an in-person meet and greet prior to booking. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give dogs consistent attention, structure, and care. Our days include structured walks, enrichment activities, play and yard time, relaxation/place work, and hikes when appropriate. I closely monitor each dog’s behavior, energy level, and comfort, and I tailor care to their individual needs. With my training background and veterinary experience, I’m able to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping dogs safe, calm, and happy in my home. In my home, dogs are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment. I have kennels in a variety of sizes to ensure every dog can rest comfortably and securely when needed. On days when outdoor activities aren’t possible due to weather, I provide indoor options such as treadmills and a variety of interactive enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally and physically engaged. When weather allows, I take advantage of nearby trails and parks to give dogs safe, enriching adventures that suit their energy level and needs.

“Wil was really great with my dog, even though he is usually reactive he behaved wonderfully with him and I could tell he had a really good time there! I will definitely be booking again! There was some slight confusion though since I wasn’t told it wouldn’t be Francis herself watching my dog but rather her parents, which was fine as they were great with him but it was a surprise.”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been an avid animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two miniature pinschers of my own that I’ve spent a great deal of time training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care for every pet. Because I work remotely when I’m not traveling for work, I’m able to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, attention, and reliable care you can trust. When I’m not traveling for work, I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for pet care visits, walks, feedings, and companionship. Every day can look a little different, but I keep my calendar updated to ensure accurate availability and reliable scheduling. We have a dedicated area in our basement with turf, toys, and space for pets to safely play and stay active. I will always be present to supervise and monitor them, whether they’re playing indoors, spending time outside, or going for walks around our neighborhood, which has plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails for safe, enjoyable exercise.

About: Born and raised in a family of passionate pet sitters, I've honed my skills in dog sitting from an early age. With a background of caring for Newfoundlands, cats, and my own furry friend, I bring a wealth of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet sitting assignment. From leisurely strolls to cozy cuddle sessions, I prioritize the happiness and well-being of every dog in my care. I have a flexible schedule, especially during the summer when I’m off from teaching and available full-time for pet care. During the school year, I’m available mornings, midafternoons, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to provide dependable and consistent care whenever needed. As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable and safe environment for the animals in my care. I ensure they receive personalized attention and follow any specific instructions provided by the client regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any other special needs. I maintain open communication with the client, providing regular updates and photos to offer peace of mind while they're away. Additionally, I'm attentive to the home's security and cleanliness, respecting the client's space as if it were my own.

“We highly recommend using Stacey. Bandit stayed with her over the holiday weekend. He had a blast. We were very comfortable with her fenced in back yard. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. We look forward to using Stacy again.”

“I was extremely nervous leaving our 1 year old with someone other than my family as she hasn't left us since we adopted last July. However, my fears were calmed leaving Demi with Nuno. My husband had a great meet and greet and then she stayed with Nuno for a couple nights. Nuno has a wonderful friendly dog, Bisca, and a large yard for the dogs to play. He also has children who showered Demi with love also. ❤️ Great communication while he watched her and I'm already booking him again for our next weekend away!”

“Terry was absolutely wonderful. She was warm and observant and compassionate; I suspect Milo might be missing her today. No doubt THAT is the best compliment I can give. He’s not like that with everyone. I’d work with Terry again in a heartbeat.”

Joel S.

“So happy we found Lourdes to watch our girl Jewel! She was so happy when we picked her up and very calm! That says a lot about Lourdes' care since Jewel can be very anxious when being boarded. Will definitely be using her services moving forward!”

Katy C.

“Crystal was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog over the Christmas period. She sent regular updates and photos/videos, which really kept our minds at ease while we were away. Earlier in the year, our dog spent three days at a kennel and struggled quite a bit, so we were understandably anxious about leaving him again. The difference with Crystal was night and day. He spent seven nights in a loving home environment, had so much fun with the other dogs, and received genuine care and attention from Crystal and her family. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crystal and will absolutely be using her again.”

M O.

“I’m giving Shauna and Nixley a five star. They snuggled with my furry family doggies, they sent pics, and chilled out with them. They met me in front of their house both coming and going. They were a happy positive couple who kept my dogs on leash and safe. I’ll be sending my dogs to Shauna and Nixley again.”

Mary V.

“Kristen & her pup, Stella were welcoming & kind to our elderly Westie. We had a lovely meet & greet, Kristen was an exceptionally responsive, clear communicator & sent us pictures of & updates about our dog’s stay. Thank you, Kristen!”

Wendy R.

“Maddie was great. She kept us updated throughout the weekend. She has 2 little dogs and our guy got along with both of them. We will definitely use Maddie again.”

Valarie K.

“Emily was great, kept us updated, would def use her again”

Patty M.

“Alexus took fantastic care of Toby when he stayed with her recently! She was very flexible with our schedule and was communicative throughout. I would have no hesitation working with her again in the future!”

About: Growing up with both cats and dogs, I’ve been around animals for most of my life. While I may not have formal pet care experience, I understand the responsibility and attention they require to feel comfortable and secure. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing the same level of care and respect that I would expect for my own pets. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog engaged or ensuring a senior pet is comfortable, I strive to create a safe and positive experience while you’re away. With a busy work schedule, I dedicate one to two days a week to pet sitting, ensuring I can provide attentive and reliable care. By limiting my availability, I’m able to focus fully on each pet, giving them the time and attention they deserve. I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable experience while keeping pet owners updated and informed. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment in every pet care experience. Whether providing care in my home or during walks, I ensure pets are in a secure, stress-free setting. I follow any specific instructions from owners, maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, and pay close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. My goal is to create a positive and safe experience, giving owners peace of mind while their pets are in my care.
