Pet Boarding in Plainville

“Our dog, Charley, just had his first stay with Sherry.  After a prior experience with a different sitter who watched more than one dog at a time, we realized that wasn't a good fit for Charley.  So after renewing our pet-sitter search, we found Sherry and we couldn't be more pleased.   Charley was immediately at ease at Sherry's and being the only dog there, it was a totally low stress experience for him.  I could tell at both drop-off and pick-up how comfortable he was with her - just as much as if he was at his own home. Sherry is super attentive to detail and is great with communication - both during the booking process and prior to and during the stay.  We are so happy to be able to go away in the future with confidence that Charley is so content and in good care.”

“Triba took great care of my Shih Tzu for a week. She sent me photos and even took him to the dog park. She walked him a couple of times a day. Thank goodness for her, I was able to vacation in peace. ?”

“During our vocation, Tiffany sent us photos every day of Scout having the time of his life… Hanging out on the couch with her kids, running around the yard with her dog Mia and even giving the side eye to her cat. He came home happy and smelling even better than when he left. We have found our new go-to pet sitter!”

“Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.”

“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, I bring a deep love, understanding, and commitment to every pup I care for. I’ve raised and cared for dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including special situations like bottle-feeding newborn puppies when their mother refused them. I’ve had the joy of living with a purebred Pomeranian, an American Eskimo-Shih Tzu mix, and a Pitbull mix—each with their own personalities and needs. Sadly, my own dogs have since passed, but my heart remains full of love for dogs. Becoming a sitter allows me to continue sharing that love, care, and experience with other families and their furry companions. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving patient attention to senior dogs, or simply being a reliable, gentle presence, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work full time, but there’s always someone home—whether it’s my husband or one of my three grown sons, who all love dogs just as much as I do. As a family, we work together to make sure every dog in our care gets plenty of attention, love, and consistent care throughout the day. At my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax. We have a large, quiet yard—about an acre. There’s also a securely fenced in-ground pool for pups who love to swim! Inside the house, we can set up pet gates if needed to create a safe, comfortable environment. Whether your dog loves to be active or just wants a cozy spot to nap, we make sure they feel right at home.

“Fiona was fantastic! Meet and greet first and got comfortable with the setup. She sent pics and updates as requested and I will be booking with her again soon. I could tell my dog Cal was very comfortable there both during and after.”

“Melanie did an exceptional job with my dog Zoey! I could tell she was very loved and cared for at Melanie’s house. I got photos and updates daily. I’ll definitely use her again, she’s fantastic.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. Everything from dogs to cats, turtles to frogs, bunnies to hamsters to sugar gliders, you name it, I’ve probably had one or taken care of it and treated it like my own family member.

I can easily do whatever your pet or pets need to make their time away from you as comfortable as possible. I can administer medication, accommodate special needs and behaviors. I will respect your wishes when it comes to pet parenting!

“Elizabeth has taken excellent care of my little guy a couple times now - I admit my I can be extra as a dog dad but she and her family respected all my requests and I could tell that they really took care of my dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. He was loved and cared for and that allowed me to rest easy while away, would recommend!”

Andreas P.

“We were pleasantly surprised by Rosa’s concern and care for Rocky, she went above and beyond for him. She was great in terms of communication and following up with questions, and was thoughtful enough to provide grooming advice for him. She was also flexible in the drop off and pick up for him due to our hectic travel schedule. We really appreciated her feedback on how he held up during his stay with her and would definitely book again!”

“Fantastic New Rover sitter!! Welcoming, flexible & very easy to work with. My small dog seemed to have had an enjoyable multi-day boarding experience. He was able to share both people and small dog interaction, which is important, since he is ultra social. Provided photos and updates as requested. Will without question use them as a sitter in the future.”

“Anna is compassionate, and communicates very well! She was extremely positive when my dog has trouble adjusting and always willing to try something to help. Her care made a world of difference! Highly recommend Anna as a dog caregiver and a human!”

About: About My Cat Experience Caring for cats has been a meaningful part of my life for many years. My journey began with Tiger, my first and longest companion, who taught me the deep bond that forms between a cat and their person. Later, I shared the joy of raising Pumpkin with my girlfriend, and together we created a loving, nurturing environment for her. I also cared for Stitch, a sweet cat who reminds me so much of my current companion, Sukuna. Today, Moon, who you’ll see lovingly depicted in my profile picture, continues to brighten my days. With each cat, I’ve gained not just experience, but a deep respect for the individual personalities, needs, and quirks that make every cat special. I am naturally attentive, gentle, and patient, treating every cat in my care with the same love, caution, and dedication I give my own. When you entrust me with your pet, know that they will be treated like family — with warmth, understanding, and the utmost attention to their comfort and happiness. At this time, I am pleased to offer a flexible schedule to accommodate the unique needs of you and your pets. I am available for daytime, evening, and some weekend care, including boarding, drop-in visits, and extended stays. My goal is to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives consistent, loving attention whenever you need it. Advance notice is appreciated to guarantee availability, but I strive to remain as accommodating as possible for both new and returning clients. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs — I am happy to create a care plan that best supports you and your pet! When your cat stays at Meow Manor, they’re not just boarding — they’re joining a cozy, loving home where their comfort and happiness come first. I provide a safe, quiet, and stress-free environment tailored to your kitty’s unique needs. Whether they love playtime, sunbathing by the window, or curling up for cozy naps, your cat will enjoy personalized care, daily routines, and plenty of attention. I maintain a calm, cat-friendly space with clean, comfy areas, enrichment activities, and lots of gentle affection. Updates and photos are sent regularly, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. At Meow Manor, your cat is treated like part of the family — because they deserve nothing less!

About: I became a dog mom to a fluffy golden retriever in February 2019, and these past six years have been the greatest of my life. I trained him to be a certified therapy dog, and now he works alongside me supporting my clients at my day job as a Social Worker. We go everywhere together—parks, beaches, hikes, lakes—you name it. We’re definitely nature lovers and sunshine seekers! Right now, I’m working at a school and have breaks throughout the year. And it’s summertime, baby! That means I’m currently available 7 days a week. I truly love all dogs and believe they deserve a lifetime of care, attention, and affection. I always make sure I have the time, resources, and support to give my dog the best care possible—and I plan to do the same for every pup I have the privilege of caring for. I’m currently working at a school. We follow the Norwich Public schools calendar, and get breaks throughout the year. It’s summertime baby! Which means now I am available 7 days a week. I love all dogs and firmly believe dogs require a lifetime of care and attention. I make sure to always have the time, finances, and support to provide the best possible care for my dog and I plan to do the same for each and every dog I care for.

“Ariadne was excellent, she took care of my cat for 13 days, she sent me photos and let me know how everything was. She answered messages quickly and took good care of my pet!”
