Pet Boarding North Branford

About: Hi! I've been dog-sitting for the past six years but I've also been around dogs my whole life. My family has always had one or two dogs since I was young, and I adopted my furr-baby, a black lab, border collie mix, when he was a puppy. I have experience with all types of dogs from an eight year old bichon frise to a two year old boxer-pitbull, elderly dogs that need medication and everything in between. I'm very active and enjoy walking/jogging (depending on the dog) and playing with the pups I'm watching. I absolutely love dogs and love dog-sitting as a way to spend time with pups while my dog is out of state with my parents for the time being (will be moving at the end of the year so he’s spending some time with his grandparents ☺️). Let me know if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you and making some new doggy friends! Thanks! I work from home and am able to give my pup (and yours!) lots of attention. AM and afternoon walks. Lots of potty breaks and PM hikes and dog park adventures. This is a very dog-friendly house and they’re welcome on furniture and beds. My dog is with my parents right now but my apartment is basically his with many parks and trails close by.

“First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!”

“Tatyana was absolutely amazing! She loved my boys like her own and sent me so many pics and videos to keep my mind at peace when I was away. I 1000% recommend”

“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”

“I felt like storm was really loved and taken care of. I’m grateful because I took a leap of faith using rover and for the first time I had a great experience!! I loved the care”

Carlise S.

“Jeanne was great and Calvin enjoyed his time with her. He was able to take a few car rides, lounge in her sunroom and enjoy time with family. He loves being part of the action so it was a great overnight. Our flight was a delayed a bit and she was super accommodating! Would definitely recommend to family and friends and book again.”

Tarra D.

“She took excellent care of my Lacey, my grandfather passed away recently and she eased my mind once I scope out where she was staying and what Jordin would do for my dog.”

Courtney S.

“Our dog Remy had a wonderful time with Yi Jia and her dogs! We are new to the region and Yi Jia made us feel comfortable by walking us through her property / house where Remy would be staying and that gave us a lot of peace of mind. She sent us a lot of pics of Remy playing with her dogs and kept us informed throughout the stay. Remy had an incredible time with her and the dogs and cannot wait to go back!”

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own, so I understand the daily care, attention and responsibility they require. I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving and comfortable environment where every dog feels happy and cared for. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks and supervised outdoor time in the yard, I will be with them with the exception of short errands if needed. The yard is not fenced, so dogs are always kept safely monitored and/or leashed while outside. I will also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your dog is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Tori was very trustworthy and gave our dog great care and attention. There was never a worry. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos during our dogs stay with her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her service again.”

Brooke D.

About: With over 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs, animals have always been the center of my life. I am a certified dog trainer through ABC (Animal Behavior College), where I completed coursework and hands-on mentorship training. My first Jack Russell, full of energy and determination, inspired me to become a trainer and deepened my passion for understanding animal behavior. Today, I share my home with a younger, playful pack, including another Jack Russell, and I’ve learned the importance of balancing order, safety, and discipline with letting dogs simply enjoy being dogs. I believe younger dogs benefit from observation, gentle guidance, and time to grow before intense training, so my focus is always on safe, positive, and enriching experiences. I use equipment designed for safety — such as secure belt leashes — to make sure dogs are comfortable and protected on walks. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or high-maintenance small breeds, I have the hands-on experience to give each pet the right level of care and attention. My senior dog, who recently passed after nearly 17 years by my side, required 24/7 care during her final year. That experience taught me patience, vigilance, and the deep responsibility of caring for animals at every stage of life. Our home is designed with pets in mind — safe, welcoming, and filled with love. With a friendly resident pack, dogs here need to enjoy the company of other dogs to feel at home. Small dogs are my specialty, but I welcome pups of all kinds and treat every animal as if they were my own. The only challenge you might face? Your dog may not want to go home. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re with our dogs throughout the day. We balance our time between working indoors and enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice, with walks and dog park visits built into our mornings and evenings. We also enjoy picnics, hikes, and other activities that include our pets, since they’re truly part of our everyday life. None of our animals are ever crated — they’re free to be with us and part of our routine at all times. We have three secure, fenced yard areas designed for different activities. One area is set aside for bathroom breaks, where pets can go on their own. The other two yards are used for supervised playtime. Inside, our dogs have access to two levels of the home. The lower level is the cat zone, and the cats also enjoy access to one of the fenced yards. All pets have free range within their spaces and spend the day with me or my partner, so they are always supervised and cared for. We don’t crate any of our own pets — they are all very friendly and used to being around both cats and dogs. I’m a very hands-on, “helicopter” type fur mom — safety, love, and care are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are mentally stimulated, and I’m always checking for ticks or any health concerns. I shared my life with two beloved dogs for nearly 17 and 15 years, and losing them a few years ago was heartbreaking. They traveled everywhere with me and showed me the depth of the bond we share with animals. Caring for pets is my greatest passion, and I feel honored every day to be in their company. I will do whatever is required to keep your animals happy and cared for as if they were my own. I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding to routines — and will never do anything that isn’t approved by you. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness come first.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my passion for personalized care and my experience with various dog breeds. I currently work at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and I love my day being filled with many furry friends. I ensure pets develop good habits from the start, and I also provide attentive care for senior dogs, catering to their unique needs. My home offers a safe, playful environment, and I prioritize regular exercise and mental stimulation. With my flexible schedule, I can accommodate last-minute bookings, and I offer photo updates so you can see your furry friend’s adventures! I currently work during the week, but I have full availability on the weekends to accommodate your furry best friend and their needs. I’m also able to accommodate boarding during the week as we are a very pet friendly household and there’s always someone at home to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I have a fenced yard, and the most adorable labradoodle at home to keep your best friend company. I’m also able to provide a crate if needed, and I am able to take your pets on as many walks as their heart desires.

“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”

About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.

“I highly recommend Skarlett for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. She took care of my dog Kingston for the third time and did a fantastic job. Skarlett was attentive, responsible, and made sure Kingston was happy and comfortable while I was away. I received daily pictures and videos. I'm grateful for her services and will definitely be using her again in the future.”
