Doggy Day Care in Old Lyme

“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”

“Had to find a sitter for our pup on last minute and Erica gladly accepted our request! The family was great, our puppy sure had tons of fun hanging out with them. 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! ♥️”

Daisy H.

“Thankful that Nala was able to watch my pup for a short time on short notice. Since it was a short time, I didn't get updates but Nala took my pup out for a short walk and gave me a good summary on pick up.”

Victoria T.

“Responsive, friendly, reliable, reasonable. Need I say more?”

“Jill is great! We did a meet and greet and then later, I dropped my pup off for a full day. Ollie loves playing w her dogs and even met cats for the first time! Jill has the perfect yard for a lot of running and chasing and she even has a kiddie pool out for the dogs. When the weather is bad, she has a room for them to chill out in. We will definitely be using Jill again!!”

“Melissa is a joy to work with. Our dog loves going there to hang out with her kids and the other dogs. I can't say enough positive things about Melisa and the care she provides!”

Erin K.

“We reached out to Mary Jo on short notice when our plans for the day changed and she was a lifesaver. Before booking the stay Mary Jo was great with prompt responses and made us feel like even though we were making last minute plans that our dog Stevie would be thoughtfully cared for. Mary Jo accommodated our schedule well for drop off and pickup, even having Stevie ready for pickup so we could get back on the road quickly. Mary Jo welcomed us into her home and let us see that Stevie was getting settled in well. We could tell right away that her son is a true dog lover and we enjoyed watching him get to know Stevie. When we came to pick Stevie up she was so happy and tired that she could barely keep her eyes open in the car. We could tell she had a great day with Mary Jo and her family!”

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!

“Lourdes “Luli” was a stellar and responsive caretaker of my 8 mo, high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy. I was a bit nervous to be her first Rover client, but felt immediate comfort on the meet and greet. She and her delightful, well-behaved pup, Tito, were exemplary hosts. She took all my concerns in stride and made sure that my puppy had a safe, enriching and engaging experience. She sent lots of photos documenting his play and nap time with his new buddy. Luli was flexible about the drop off when my schedule unexpectedly changed and was always quick to return texts. My dog came back happy and relaxed and literally pulled me to her doorway each day of our stay. Her home was immaculate and puppy safe, with a small secure, enclosed yard for play. I have nothing but the highest regard for Luli, and her professionalism and warmth towards both me and my dog! She clearly is a dog whisperer and my dog, very attached to us, but eager to be left with Luli, confirms this. I have no reservations about emphatically recommending her!”

About: My husband and I recently returned from Costa Rica where we volunteered on a dog farm assisting with bathing, grooming and giving lots of love to almost 2,000 rescued dogs that live there. My husband also has a separate rover account under Maxi S. During my high school/college years my mother trained 5 different dogs for guiding eyes for the blind which I helped in the training process as well while home. I also started housesitting and caring for pets of local neighbors at the young age of 10. We have always had dogs in my home. I couldn’t imagine living without a dog. I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies to senior dogs. I myself have a 9 year old cocker spaniel who thinks she is a human. I understand all pet owners and their pets have different needs and will respect any rules required to give your pet the care they need. I will treat your dog like my own. My family just returned from Costa Rica. My husband and I are both looking for flexible part time work which allow us to still care for our 1.5 year old son. You can also find my husbands separate rover account under maxi S. At the moment our schedule is open and flexible but as we find work our schedules will be changing depending. We have a good sized yard which is not fenced in but in a quiet neighborhood with a cul-de-sac. I don’t usually crate my dog, but if your dogs are crated I am familiar with crate training. I am a flexible person and am able to modify based on your pets needs.

About: I have loved dogs and cats since I was a little kid. Pets really are a gift and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I can handle a variety of temperaments and special needs. Just ask! Starting June 13th, I will be available weekdays and weekends for drop-in walks and hosting other pups in my fenced-in yard for doggy day care. I have a fenced in yard and two 3 year-old pups who love playtime with other pups. I am able-bodied and happy to go on as long of a walk as your pup requires.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats from my neighbors and friends since I was 15. I am good at making sure the dogs are all good. I work at a hotel, however I looking for more work because the season is getting slow from now til mid march. I am very organized, I love animals and I have excellent time management skills. I can’t have dogs in my home because I live an apartment that does not allow dogs unfortunately but I am happy to watch the dog at your place or Bring the dog to a park if needed.

“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.”

“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.

“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.

“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!”

Deb B.

“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.”

Annacarina J.

“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!”
