Doggy Day Care in Old Lyme

“Jill did a great job taking care of our Border Collie, Buddy. Jill’s a pleasure to work with, responsive and caring, can tell she really loves dogs and made sure Buddy felt right at home. We received regular pictures and a video. Great environment for our Buddy!”

“Isabelle and Zachary took our dog Shea. I’m very short notice because we had to attend a funeral. She felt very welcome and went on a nice long walk with Isabelle and the other dogs. She seemed to settle in right away with everything and felt very comfortable. I was a bit late in returning from the funeral and the they were very gracious about it. We will be sure to trust Shea here when we return to this area. Awesome experience!”

They sent pictures and updates of how it was going, Willow slept the whole ride home and surely had an exciting day. Would definitely use them again and recommend booking them! ♥️”

About: Dogs are truly my one passion. I'd love to help you and yours however I can! Growing up I've always had a variety of animals, but right now I have two dogs. Jojo (11yrs) and Libby (4yrs). They are everything to me and it gives me great pleasure to provide for them, ensuring their happiness and well being. I have experience with dogs of all ages, and pets of all kinds! I am a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider (CPACP) through PACCC. You can view my badge at - bcert.me/sizlosuuu ! Giving the highest quality care to your pups is my top priority. I have 8+ years experience in pet care, including 6 years Doggy Daycare Management and Puppy Room experience with puppies under 6 months. For a few years I was assisting in positive reinforcement dog training classes as well. I learned tips and tricks on how to gain attention with your dogs, leash walking skills, and much much more. I'm used to off leash group play (15+ dogs at a time), so dog walking and sitting full time is a bit new for me. But I am so excited to explore this new opportunity with you! I will use the skills I've acquired to ensure your dog is HAPPY and SAFE! I will love your pup just like my own. Looking forward to making memories and I can't wait to meet you all! Full time dog walking/drop ins + "almost" overnight sitting. Making early morning and late night trips to accommodate your pup. My own two dogs just need a regular check in half way through day. Communication is key. I would love to know all of your fur baby's habits and quirks so that I can adjust my routine or plan for the day. I like to do meet and greets before hand so that I can ensure all parties are comfortable and happy! Send me a message to chat with me and let me know what your needs are. I love to take pictures of our adventures together and share them with you as well!

“My puppy had a great time with Mary Jo and her family. She was amazing and accepted our last minute booking to save the day! She kept me posted on how he was doing too which was so nice. I wish I knew lots of people in the area so I could recommend her personally. I am so grateful to her and her family for taking such good care of my guy!!”

“Taylor was super responsive and cared for our pup for a few hours while we visited Mystic. She had an instant connection as our pup didn’t want to leave. Perfect. Thanks so much.”

Won C.

“Very happy and relieved! I had to book last-minute for my pup when a neighbor had to cancel, and Adriana & Christopher were able to take Lucy at their house for the day. I worry about her because Lucy is a bit of an anxious mess when somewhere new (especially when I’m not around), and she was shaking like a leaf when I left. I felt terrible! But she was very interactive and played with their dog so much that she passed out and slept for hours when we got home! So, so happy and delighted with this experience for my little Lucy!”

“We were very happy with Lara's care for our 5 month old puppy. She gave us some training tips and worked with Boo on leash while out walking. When we picked Boo up she was very calm and not needy. She seemed to fit right in with Lara's family.”

Cheri N.

“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I pet sit for my friends all the time. I'm a big animal-lover, which is why I enjoy pet-sitting. You won't need to worry about your pet while you're away - as your pet-sitter, you can rest assured that your pet is being cared for with the same level of care I give to my own. I'm a PhD student and most of my work is reading. That's something I can do anywhere, which makes me available for pet-sitting at any time of day or night. Dog-owners: If you would like me to dog-sit at my home, your dog will have access to a large park and dog park both only a couple blocks away. You can request a relaxing, long walk over green grass and/or quality-play time with other dogs. Take advantage of these hard-to-find perks in this bustling city of ours. Cat-owners: If you would like me to cat-sit at my home, you can expect a calm, quite space with plenty of cat-friendly bookshelves for your cat to turn into their own jungle in the city.

“Princes Leia had a great stay at Maxi's. We got pictures of her playing and she was super tired when we picked her up.”

“Eautha took good care of my 2 year old dog Frankie while we were busy for the day. Her dogs and Frankie seemed to get along, and Frankie seemed healthy and happy when we got her back. We got periodic updates and Eautha kept her out of trouble!”
