“Brittany & her family couldn’t have been better for Coco-they treated her like family & we could not have been more pleased!!She got along great with the family golden & neighbors dogs, too! Highly recommend & will be repeat customers! The 2 sons were super involved with her care, too!”
“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“Shannon was very considerate with our last minute request, which was appreciated. She did the meet and greet thoughtfully with her current pups, to give everyone the best chance of harmony. Bill came back from his stay with a wagging tail and was exhausted, both of which are a good sign. I wouldn't hesitate to use Shannon again!”
“Karen took our Poodle puppy on a last minute request and we’re so happy she did! She stayed in contact throughout, sent tons of photos and videos and was very flexible with pickup and drop off time. She even gave us a little parting gift! Would definitely recommend Karen if you are in the New London/Mystic area!”
“They were great with my dog. Sent photos everyday, gave him plenty of attention & he was a happy little guy. I will definitely use this family again to watch my dog.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Navy LOVES to go to Jared’s and we are MORE than relieved to know Navy is cared for, fed and having a great time while we are away. We know because Jared sends daily pictures!”
“Bailey and Zoey had a wonderful time at Ariel‘s home. She sent pictures on a daily basis that allowed us to feel comfortable and not have to worry about them when we are on our vacation. I would highly recommend her!”
“Sadie loved her time with Nadjeska and her family! It was hard to leave her for the holidays but it was clear she felt right at home. It was helpful to get so many pictures and and know she was doing well. We would definitely book again!”
“Holly was more than outstanding! Right from our initial text conversations I knew we'd have a great experience with her! The meet and great was wonderful and she was just so sweet with our dog, and so very understanding of our dog's needs. We were at ease right away. And our dog took to Holly and her home immediately...she just seemed very comfortable with Holly and in her home. By the end of of the meet and great we knew this would be a great match, and we felt confident leaving our dog with her. (We have an senior dog with some special needs who we adopted only 1.5 years ago, and we're always a little nervous leaving her hoping she doesn't think she's been left again for good.) Well, what a time she had at Holly's. We kept joking that our dog was having so much fun that she wasn't going to want to come back home with us! Holly's updates and photos while we were away were such a great comfort for us and showed us how at ease and well taken care of our sweet senior dog was at her house. We will most definitely use Holly again....and again!”
“Melissa was great with our Elderly Zoey dog! Her fenced in yard gave and her past experience as a vet tech gave us peace of mind while we were away for 7 days. We got pictures every day and she communicated well. Zoey was in great shape when we picked her up. She certainly made my girl comfortable!! I definitely recommend Melissa. Thank you Melissa!!!”
“We highly recommend Jessica’s services! Her communication was top notch, she gave us constant updates throughout the boarding length, including pictures and videos. Our dog was happy and tired when we picked him up, which is not an easy task! Important to say, Jessica was very friendly from the very first contact and meet and greet. Thanks for your help with Copper!”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are so happy with our experience! Julius took great care of our dogs and sent us pictures everyday. Definitely would recommend!”
“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!”
