Dog Boarding in Old Lyme

“Erica, Thomas, and their family were amazing to my sweet Kona! She’s a young GSP so she’s very active and high energy. She’s a great dog but not everyone can handle her energy level. They were great and immediately knew what to do with exercising and treating her like family. It helps that they have a big front lawn and had other dogs staying with them too! Kona made great friends judging from the pics. But most importantly, they went out of their way to be her dog handler for us on our wedding day. They made our special day even more magical by letting Kona participate in the ceremony as our dog of honor. She was tired for 2 full days after we picked her up! That’s a long time for a GSP. So grateful!”

“We recently left our dog, Ivy, with Brittany, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Ivy absolutely loved being there! Brittany and her family treated Ivy like one of their own, showering her with love and attention. It was clear that they genuinely care about the pets they look after.”

“This was my first time using Rover.com and I HIGHLY recommend Shannon for overnight weekend stay. She treats my pup as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My pup adores her whole family and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see her interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love. In addition, her knowledge regarding all aspects of canine care are extensive and helpful. The peace of mind in knowing that my pup is well cared for is priceless. I was surprised that her scheduling system is easy to use and she provided very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates pictures of his stay. We will reach out to her for more day sitting to help Leo learn to interact more with other dogs. Thank you!! God bless!!!”

“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!”

“Holly and her family are wonderful! Our dog, Fly, is anxious in new situations, but when she returned for her second stay, she ran right up to Holly very excitedly! Holly went above and beyond for Fly, providing her with lots of attention and exercise! We received daily communication and photos. I highly recommend!”

“Mary was absolutely amazing and very accommodating! We had a canceled flight back to the area and she was very willing to extend our stay with our pup. She was timely, had great local recommendations, and updated us nearly daily with photos/info! Will definitely be rebooking her!!”

“Samantha was such a wonderful friend to our baby Clover while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pics and updates and it was clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend Clover's stay a few days, and we really appreciated that! Samantha will definitely be our go-to when we need a sitter in Westbrook!”

“Took amazing care of my Layla. I felt very comfortable being away from her….the picture mail I received was an added bonus and made my heart smile.”

“First time leaving my pup with someone else overnight, so it was nice to receive pictures each day to see how she was doing. This family was great with her and she didn’t want to leave!”

“This couple are the sweetest people you will ever meet and they love dogs so much you can really tell they care for every dog they sit for Will most definitely be going to them again my puppy got to play with other dogs and have fun thank you guys for taking such good care for our puppy”

“Just returned from a 6 day vacation during which time Laura took care of my 3 dogs including a very rambunctious young puppy. I was so grateful that she would take my new pack member (the puppy )which was not originally planned . I can only give a glowing and appreciative recommendation of Laura to care for your pets. I hope to use her again in the future.”

“Nala and Del did great with Quincy and Zali for two nights and they sent us photos of their activities. Good experience and will use again. Thanks.”

“I would highly recommend Melissa. She took excellent care of our dog Poppy. It was nice getting updates so you don’t worry how things are going. Her home is very welcoming and friendly.”

“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”

“We love Julius and so does our pup! We've used his family so many times and each time has been easy and no problems at all. It's so nice having peace of mind that our pup is loved and well cared for.”

“Can't say enough wonderful words about our experience with Jessica! We went to Europe for two weeks and came back to the happiest , most loved dog! She sent us pictures and videos the entire time we were gone and treated our dog like one of her own! We will be recommending her to our friends in the area and hope to use her services again some day!!”

“Arabelle was absolutely incredible! My pup Pretzel had the best time ever! He was treated like family and got so much love from Arabelle! She took Pretzel on so many great walks and got lots of snuggles and playtime! Arabelle was also very responsive and sent many cute videos, picture, and updates throughout Pretzel’s stay. She was beyond amazing that I was afraid Pretzel wouldn’t want to leave!! We (especially Pretzel) can’t wait to use Arabelle again when we need a sitter for Pretzel! ❤️”

“Nina provided great care for our dog Max and was very communicative when there was an issue during his stay. She is very friendly and kind. She also has the cutest puppy in the world!!”

“Emily has watched our Shepherd mix, mid-sized dog several times over the last several years in our home while we go on vacation. She takes great care of him and he adores her! Usually he even looks a little plumper when we get back because she loves giving him treats for good behavior. Our dog is a finicky eater and she always gets him to eat and takes him on long walks to get his energy out. I would highly recommend Emily as she is honest, reliable, friendly and even sends us photos of our pup while we are away.”

“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
