Doggy Day Care in Putnam

“Winston usually barks at new people he meets, but barely barked when he first met Misael and then was obviously very comfortable with him quickly. I received several photos and updates on what they were doing and Winston was exhausted and happy when we picked him up. Planning on booking another stay in the future!”

“Sarah is absolutely amazing! She was able to take my little guy in under short notice! She sent me updates throughout the day and he had so much fun! Can’t thank her enough for everything she does!”

“Laurie is wonderful! She’s very attentive and caring with the dogs in her care - it’s obvious she’s a dog person. My dog knows when he’s going to Laurie’s house and gets so excited. When we get there, he jumps out of the car and right over to Laurie. I’m grateful for Rover and helping me find daycare so quickly with a person I can trust.”

“Melissa was amazing! She had our Sadie for three days of day care so we could go off and enjoy day trips with our visiting granddaughters and d.i.l. Sadie loved her and her girls, never looking back at us after that first day of drop off! Melissa sent periodic pics and updates of how our girl was doing, and was very accommodating as to drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to rebook with Melissa and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”

“As a newcomer to Connecticut, I needed a dog sitter on short notice and was initially anxious about leaving my dog, Gingi. However, Jessica exceeded all my expectations. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness, providing regular updates without any prompting. Receiving photos of Gingi during my lunch breaks reassured me that he was well cared for and enjoying himself. Additionally, Gingi always smelled wonderful when I picked him up. I will definitely continue to book with her in the future. Highly recommended—10/10”

“James and Mallory are two of the best pet sitters in this area! They are kind, patient and LOVE what they do. I never have to worry about my pup when I'm at work. They bring her for walks, to swim and play with her all day. The best part of all is just as I'm starting to miss my baby and wonder what she is up to, Mallory will send me a picture, update and/or video. Her timing is perfect; I think she knows exactly when I need the pick up!”

Tanyalee J.

“Colette was very sweet with my Nala. She was very nice and sent pictures and status of Nala during the day. Nala was very happy with Colette and had a great time staying with her. We loved the experience and we will book her again.”

Geraldine V.

“April was great as always! Easy to communicate and flexible with a last minute request. Yard is as advertised and Dodger was well exercised!”

Matthew B.

“This was Charlie’s second time with Denise! Will be using her again! She’s amazing!”

Jennifer M.

“I left my dog Pretzel with Sabrina overnight, and she was absolutely wonderful with her. My puppy, Hunter, also joined for doggy daycare and had a great time. He absolutely loves her, and she even shared some really helpful training advice for him. I definitely recommend Sabrina—she’s knowledgeable, caring, and truly great with dogs. I’ll absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

Cecile L.

“Maddie was wonderful to work with! She was right on time, friendly, and took great care of my puppy. My puppy came home happy and slept great that night!”

Bri B.

“Kimberly is a great sitter! She took care of my 2 year old standard poodle for a day while I was away. She was great with her and helped her feel less anxious. She was very responsive throughout the day and sent plenty of photos! I would recommend Kimberly!!”

Erika M.

“Our pup Milo had a great time! I’ll be leaving him with Derek again!”

About: Amelia Massey Chorlton Introduction: Hello, my name is Amelia Massey Chorlton. I have extensive experience with dogs, having cared for them practically my entire life. From raising our family dog Daisy, a Golden Retriever, until her passing due to old age, to currently running a doggy daycare from my home, dogs have always been a significant part of my life. Professional Experience: I recently left my position as a manager at a doggy daycare, where I worked for three years, to focus on working from home. During my time there, I gained valuable experience in understanding and managing various dog behaviors and deepened my love for all types of dogs. In addition to my daycare management experience, I have also managed an intellectual disability group home, a position I also left to work from home. Personal Experience: I currently own four dogs of various sizes and two cats. I live in an in-law housing situation owned by my mother, which allows me the flexibility to separate dogs as needed. If required, I can crate my dogs and cats, ensuring that your pet will never have to meet mine if that’s your preference. Facilities: • My home features a fully fenced backyard that is divided into sections, allowing me to separate my dogs from visiting dogs while keeping everything securely fenced. • The backyard provides plenty of shade, a kiddie pool, and access to the garage, which is equipped with water bowls, food bowls, beds, toys, and is climate-controlled with both AC and heating for the colder months. Services: • The option to separate dogs or provide solo sitting for dogs with reactivity or behavioral issues. • Experience with senior dogs, puppies, and behavioral dogs. • Years of experience training my own and other dogs. • CPR trained and capable of administering medication to dogs that need it. Please consider me for your next dog-sitting needs. I am passionate and dedicated, and I promise to put my all into caring for each and every dog that comes into my home. Thank you for your consideration! I work from home, allowing me to maintain a very flexible schedule. I am available for dog sitting, dog boarding, dog walking, cat sitting, cat boarding, and drop-in visits as needed. Additionally, I offer complimentary dog walking services when you book boarding at my home. In my home, I ensure pets are cared for in a safe and comfortable environment. When the weather is pleasant, the dogs can enjoy free access to the backyard, where they can roam freely and even jump in the kiddie pool if they wish. The garage is always open during the day, allowing them to move in and out as they please. On particularly hot or cold days, the backyard is only open for potty breaks. During these times, the dogs stay indoors, with the dog door remaining open for them to access their crates, beds, or toys. This setup ensures they can always find a comfortable spot to relax and play!

“Kelsey and Chris are great and take care of Charlie really well. They even help out by giving him his meds ahead of me getting there ti combat his motion sickness. Thank you for another great day.”

“Sarah was amazing, she accommodated me last minute when I had an all day training to do, and stayed with my 3 months old Toy Poodle, Cookie. She sent me pictures and offered advice as I am a new dog mom. My Cookie was wagging her little nub like crazy when I got home, and in such good spirits, I just knew she had a wonderful day with her new friend! I will definitely be reaching out to Sarah in the future for day care needs!”

About: I have been a veterinary technician for about 20 years now, working directly with pets and as a medical technician. I am willing to take on dogs with medical issues and can give meds. Currently not working so I am home all day to watch your pets and give them as much love and attention as needed. There will be plenty of outdoor time and walks as needed to get out the extra energy. Fully fenced in yard. Pets usually have free roam of the first and second floor. I do allow pets on furniture but can be strict about not being on it if needed.

About: I’ve done rescue work on the side for a cat shelter, including medical fostering. I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet as a technician assistant. I have several reoccurring clients on & off of here. Love all pets! I have a 3 legged kitten and have done specialized care for kittens with eye issues and bottle fed kittens. I have no issues giving meds or helping with prescription diets. I have experience with bearded dragons and other reptiles as well. I can always send pics of my work! My labradoodle and his siblings somehow manage to befriend every dog we take care of and we always love new friends! I have plenty of references besides what is on here as well and there’s some before & afters of foster kittens I’ve done medical stuff with. I have 4 dogs of my own, a dorkie, a chihuahua, a labradoodle and a goldendoodle - we stay very active all the time. Walks, treats & playing, and my labradoodle loves to swim! My Labradoodle enjoys visiting people and it’s not uncommon for us to venture out just for a pup cup or a ride around town. I also have my rescue cats who I love! I’ve worked for an emergency/specialty vet along with a general practice vet and am always trying to further my education! Everyone is always leashed and I take my time depending on the animals abilities/etc when walking or playing. I’m more than familiar with litter boxes and etc and don’t mind spending time with pets. We always have time for socialization and visiting with people- I frequent some businesses that LOVE to see dogs!

About: Veterinary technician for 9 years and counting. Used to handling all types or dogs with all different levels of energy. Can administer medication if needed. I am currently working part time due to the economy. Available for whole days that may change weekly. Able to do morning and night visits. All dogs will be closely monitored whether they be in a fenced in yard or on a leash. Safety is #1 of the utmost concern.
