Doggy Day Care in Newington

“Ashley was AWESOME! We did a last minute booking and Ashley was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our Sophie with her. Sophie loved her time with Ashley, the walks and playing with her new friends. Ashley is knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about all of the dogs. We highly recommend Ashley ... she goes above and beyond making sure that all of the dogs needs are met. Thank you Ashley for making Sophie feel so welcome!”

“Colleen had my dog, Cooper, at her house for a few hours. Her place is a great set up for dogs, with a fenced in yard and a large couch for snuggles :) It is obvious that she truly cares about your pet. I felt confident leaving my fur baby with Colleen and appreciated her detailed note of their time together! I highly recommend Colleen!!”

About: I’m a newly retired teacher and former principal that loves my doggies! Over the years, I’ve had so much love from my very special friends. Would love to give and get some loves from your treasured family member. I literally live in the middle of Stratham Hill Park and I love to walk. Only one “little guy” at a time…🥰 I’m loving my retirement and have lots of time and love to give. I have some scheduled exercise classes in the mornings but always home by 10:30. I’ve had so many dogs over the years. Routine visits to the vet are mandatory and walking, playing, and interacting with my friends are essential. I’m also very familiar with dogs with anxiety. One needs to approach this in a calm and careful way and watch the signs for anxiety coming on and be able to respond with love and kindness. Living right in the middle of Stratham Hill Park, I have easy access to the walking trails. Because I don’t know your dog, they will never be off leash but will be outside often during the day!! I love to walk. 🥰 I have a lovely crate IF your dog prefers this quiet space, but I will not be crating unless you ask me to. Typically my 11 year old grandson will come by after school to snuggle, play and go for a walk with me and your pup!

About: I have had all different kinds of animals in my life, including dogs, cats, ferrets, farm animals, reptiles, and more. I've taken care of animals ranging from senior dogs to newborn kittens and I've given them all the love that they need. I am available almost any day and time of day! Feel free to take a look at my calendar for my availability! I can't wait to take care of your furry friend(s). I am welcome to help your furry friend in any way you need. I will keep an open line of communication and send plenty of photos so you have the peace of mind knowing your best friend(s) are happy and healthy.

“Adelle has been wonderful with our boy who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He gets along great with her pups, and he is visibly excited as he gets closer to her house. He comes home absolutelt exhausted after a day at daycare with Adelle! 10/10”

About: Animals are my life— I’ve been a pet-sitter for most of it! I’ve had dogs and horses of my own, worked on a farm, at a zoo, and rehab facilities! I have two wonderful pups who are very friendly and welcoming. I just finished my graduate degree, moved to Portsmouth, and I’m currently looking for a career in marine conservation field. In the meantime, I’d love to watch your pets! I’m currently working for The Nature Conservancy, in-office only 2-3 days a week. My partner works from home and is able to help out with any needs if/when I’m away from the house. We spend a lot of time playing both inside and outside with the dogs, keeping the dogs entertained with new toys, chews, and puzzles. I have a partially fenced in yard, where my own dogs are trained to play within limits. If your dog can be trusted, I can do the same or keep them leashed!

“Sheila was wonderful with my dog.. was her first away play date and felt so comfortable leaving her with Sheila. She had fun with her dog Dakota who is a sweetheart. Sent me lots of pics and reassured me Bessa was doing fine. Will def be seeing her again!”

“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”

Lisa B.

“Tessia was great! She updated me periodically to let me know how my dog was doing through updates via the Rover app. She was also great enough to pick my dog up and drop him off as needed! Would recommend her to anyone!”

Vincent V.

“I have been bringing my pup here every week for the past 7 months and have always felt safe leaving her. My dogs gets SO excited when we get there which is heartwarming. They have an awesome yard for the pups to play together in! I have never had an issue and will continue to use Karen and her husband for the foreseeable future!”

Hannah B.

“Our dog was so tired and content by the end of their day with Enzo and Enzo's dog. Adorable picture of them playing/hanging out outside. Communication was super easy and prompt, we felt really comfortable with our pup being in their care, and would recommend them to watch anybody's fur baby!!”

Leigh-Ashley P.

“Great communication and it was clear my dog was very well attended to with lots of activity and play (and a nap!). She came home very happy and sleepy. 😊”

“Ashley did an excellent job taking great care of our dog. Thanks to her we were able to take our kids to the children's museum which is close by. I could tell our dog was in caring hands. I recommend her highly!”

About: Without exception, the dog park is always one of the best parts of my day. I've had three dogs of my own, and have been around countless other dogs, most of whom instantly become my new best friends. We just gravitate to each other, hence the fuzzy friend whisperer nickname. I have a playful, loving attitude toward every dog I meet. I am also sensitive to dogs who need a little more patience and space to ease into trusting me and respect the boundaries that they need to do that. My training style with my own dogs is focused on positive reinforcement rather than punishment. This approach translates to other dogs as well, unless their owners request differently. Your dog will be in caring, responsible hands with me. They will be loved. Vogel Emergency Vet just opened right across the street from our house, so if anything kind of emergency pops up, your baby will be a hop, skip and a jump away from the care they need. I'm self employed and work mostly from home so my schedule is quite flexible. Sometimes I’ll have drop in visits throughout the day, but if your dog is boarding with me, there will generally be someone else at home with them. They’ll rarely, if ever be left alone. I live on a small farm but also live near a road, so your dog will always be safely on a leash when we go outside for potty breaks. I have a very friendly 12 year old 45lb labradoodle named Huck to keep your baby company in the rare cases that I'm not at home. I have a "squirrel observatory" (bird feeder) right near my workspace so your dog will not only be supervised most of the time but also entertained.

“Nicole was fantastic with Teddy! She gave us a tour of her home and we received multiple updates with photos throughout Teddy's stay. Teddy had a great time and really loved the fenced in backyard. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again with Nicole!”

“Very sweet person! Totally a dog person!!! Cece was so comforting for us and our puppy, who had never been without us before. It was a big deal that she was communicative while we were away, letting us know she was okay as well sending photos. Last minute acheduling was important for our situation and she was immediately available. We will definitely ask her again if we are in the area and need a sitter.”

“Gary is outstanding with Otter! Otter has so much fun at Gary's doggie resort that he grabs his 'adventure' bag and brings it to me to remind me it's time to go to Gary's for daycare! I highly recommend him, he is fantastic!”

About: I've taken care of my family dog, my sister's dogs and friend's dogs for over 15 years. They relied me to walk, feed, play, bathe, take them to vaccination appointments & spa appointments. I also have experience walking large dogs in local animal shelters. I am a mom of a toddler boy and I work from home most days and I am able to take walks every 3-4 hours. I have a big yard for dogs to play and I live in a safe and low traffic community. I have a large living room where the dogs have plenty of space to hang out inside the house.

About: Dogs have been my passion for 30 years. I have had all types of breeds - tiny to giant and have adopted all of my babies. I am experienced with giving special medical care and medications including injections as several of my kids have had severe illnesses. I believe there are no bad dogs, just dogs who express themselves differently. Would love to meet your four-legged family and help make them happy. My day rates are based on an 8 hr day. Rates for after 8 hrs can be discussed. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me time during the day to provide the attention needed for walks and potty break. I have a fenced in area for potty breaks and playtime. Timber is in full puppy play mode and loves to share her toys and balls with our guests.

“Kiley is the absolute best! I was nervous about leaving my new pup for the first time but her care put me totally at ease. She is an excellent communicator and has a natural skill with dogs. I couldn’t be more impressed!”
