“Andrea is the absolute best, I am so happy I found her. My dog did not do well in traditional daycare but loves staying with Andrea. She takes care of my pup as if she were her own.”

“We needed someone to take care of our buddy while we were in town for an engagement party. Anner was quick to respond and we felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with him! Highly recommend him and would use his service again.”


“Kevin was a great sitter to watch both my dogs. He was able to accommodate last minute day care booking on Christmas day and when an emergency popped up during christmas, he was very nice to help out and have both my dogs stay overnight. He sent in pictures and videos of them on hikes and having a fenced yard was a plus! they were great with the other dogs he has in the house. Came to pick up my dogs and they looked so happy- usually will bark and whine when they see their mommy but this time they just jumped in exciment. It made me happy that both my dogs were at peace and calm at someones house they did not know; espically my senior dog who has major seperation anixety from being attached to me, she did so well and looked very calm which made me happy. After picking the dogs up from his house, they were passed out on the ride home. I would recommend Kevin when caring for your dogs. He responds well and is very nice and will treat the dogs like they are his own.”


“Daniela was great with my pup! She asked great questions that made me feel confident that he would be safe and comfortable with her. We will definitely be using her services again.”


“Lena is a true professional dog carer..she took the time my dogs needed to feel comfortable with them. Very accomodating to their individual quirks, truly feel they are safe and happy in her care. Grateful to have found her! Also, bonus, her son is wonderful and my Midge is in LOVE with him.”


“Zoila was the best! Churro stayed two long days with her while I was at work. I got updates every couple of hours with pictures, which was comforting. She made sure he exercised and ate before coming home. He was happy and tired once he got home! Recommend her and can’t wait to use her again”


“Nacho's been going to Elaine's regularly once or twice a week for the last six weeks and has an awesome time when he's there, as he can't wait to get inside her yard when we arrive. He gets along well with the other client pups and Elaine's pack. He really loves it there and it's really good for his social development.”


“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”


“We are very pleased with our first doggie day care stay with Oriana. Sophie and Sherman were thrilled to have so much space in the yard to run! Oriana was very responsive to our messages and kept us updated during their stay. Thank you Oriana!”

About: Hello there, Let me talk a little bit about myself, since I was a kid, I grew up with so many kinds of animals, horses, chickens, ducks, birds, and about 8 dogs. But there was always this connection between me and the puppies. so, time went by so quick, and I got older and i decided to get me the most beautiful Husky. I never thought this boy would teach me so many things. I had some struggles training him, but I accomplished something that I thought it was impossible to do with huskies. now that he is getting a little older, I decided to get him a sister but this time I went with a German shepherd. every time I get around new people, they always ask me if I'm a dog trainer because the way my 2 babies are well behaved. So as all of you can see or image, I have many years of experience, I have been around dogs my whole life, I just love them if I could give my live to safe one. Thank you I work from home between 4AM-11AM so after that I free every day. or sometimes I don't even work and have plenty of free time to play with puppies. I make sure there's always that morning walk, make sure they eat and do their business outside, but specially I make sure they feel the love from the human so they can feel safe.

“Can’t say enough about how great Ken is with Havoc! It’s hard to find someone knowledgeable about working breed dogs and how to handle them. Havoc comes home relatively tired after each visit - which is saying something for a Dutchie!”


“Our dog had a great time with Nicole and enjoyed playing with her dog. We will definitely have Mia stay with Nicole again. Nicole is a great at providing updates, sharing photos and videos, and taking care of our dog. Highly recommend!”


About: While I’ve grown up with dogs (Lab, Schnauzer, Italian Greyhound, Huskie, Pomeranian and Dalmatian) I’ve taken care of my own dog for 11 years! I’ve also house sat for cats, dogs, and even rats! I’ve volunteered at PAWS in Norwalk, CT for over 3 years. I currently work from home and have a very flexible calendar. Flexible with last minute trips or needs. Always happy to spend extra time to make sure your pet(s) are less anxious while you are away. Our townhouse is near Mill River Pond, Waveny Park, and Watson-Symington in New Canaan. I frequent all spots throughout the week! Our house is puppy proof and we have ample room.

About: Hi! My name is Keira, and I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds my entire life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior and currently work as an animal caretaker at my local nature center. I have hands-on experience with everything from daily pet care to administering medications when needed. Whether you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, or just someone who genuinely loves animals—I’m here to help. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! I have my own pets as well including a dog, cats, bird, chickens, gerbil, etc. I have some experience in grooming and training if you would like any extra services let me know! I currently work part time at my local nature center 9am-2pm, 4 out of 7 days a week. Not long hours so I am able to walk dogs earlier and right after work. Or come back after work to pet sit if needed. At an owners house I would ask the pet parent what they think would be best but at my own house I have a big backyard to play with any dogs in my care (leashed or off leash). Any food provided will be fed by instruction and if medicine is needed to be given I can assist with that as well. Always fresh water nearby for any fur baby in my care.

About: We have a loving home filled with animal lovers who would love to welcome your doggy into our care. We have a fenced-in yard where your pet will run free and chase a ball or frisbee. Your dog will receive much one-on-one attention, snuggles, and playtime. Daily off-leash hikes are included in the price if you're comfortable! I'm a yoga teacher, so I am home most of the day. My husband works from home and loves dogs and cats. Your dog or cat will have tons of attention and be well cared for. I love to go for walks in the land trusts and parks! We always bring water and treats on our walks. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, and recognize what a valuable part of the family they are. We offer boarding or daycare and only accept 2 dogs at a time to ensure they get the attention and care they need. We are not quite ready to commit to getting a dog full-time as we are waiting until our youngest is 5, so this is a great way to have a furry friend in our home for now. We look forward to meeting you!! I am a yoga teacher and mother of three. My family and I love animals and have boarded in the past. We took a break when my twins were babies, but now that they are older, we are excited to welcome pets into our home. I am home quite a bit as I have a very flexible schedule. I love to go for walks and would always take your dog with me if that's what they like to do. If they prefer the couch, they are welcome to get cozy and hang out. I look forward to meeting you and your dog or cat. We have a safe and loving home for your furry baby. We provide lots of play, cuddles, and frequent walks or play in the backyard.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I’ve had 4 in total, 2 whom I cared for as seniors. I was a part of training 3 of my dogs as puppies and enjoy them at enjoy them at every stage of life! I work from home, so my daily schedule is very flexible! I am always around during the days of the week and most of the weekends! I am a responsible and respectful of others and their belonging and space and treat them as if they were my own. I would ensure a safe and healthy environment in my home and make sure animals felt at home.
