Doggy Day Care in Rocky Hill

About: Hello there, I'm Rani! Thanks for stopping by my profile. Ever since I was a kid, animals have been my biggest passion—dogs hold a special place in my heart. Growing up with a beloved dog for 14 years, I've always felt a strong connection to our furry friends. Fast forward a few years, marriage, kids, and a move to a dog-friendly neighborhood with a big fenced yard, our family welcomed Buddy, our joyful Golden Retriever, into our lives. Inspired by his companionship and the fun of having small dogs around for Buddy to play with, I discovered my calling. Now, with my kids growing more independent, I've decided to channel my lifelong love for animals into something meaningful—joining Rover. Note our Buddy is 8 years old, so it would be great if he gets to mingle with any friendly dog is who is at least 5 years old to match his energy level. I promise a safe, enjoyable, and loving experience for your furry family member, filled with fun, cuddles, and the warmth of our home. Can't wait to meet your pet and make them part of our extended furry family, even if just for a little while! I am currently working from home, I am available for boarding on weekdays and weekends- no time constraints. Open for a meet and greet anytime. Our home comes with a HUGE backyard (check out the photos!) perfect for all the running, playing, and lounging your dog could want. Outdoor time is important, and we've got plenty of it. Walks? Absolutely! We believe walks are essential, not extra, so we include a daily walk ( weather permitting) around our beautiful community for every dog that stays with us. No extra charges here. We can't wait to make your dog feel safe, loved, and part of our family during their stay. Buddy's already looking forward to making new friends!

“We were looking for a family to take care of Tesla, the 9 year old Boston Terrier. Tesla always had people around him, a clean house, and a few people to be around. Hakan and his family were just the one we were looking for. Tesla enjoyed the day with Hakan. He enjoyed his walk, plays, and his nap. Hakan also sent regular updates and pictures during the day and pictures which gave us peace of mind that Tesla was enjoying the stay. We will continue to use Hakan's services for Tesla.”

“Hunter really loves going to Kate’s house every week and plays well with the kids and it’s my first time leaving Hunter with a pet Sitter and it was a good experience .”

“Jaya and her family have the most wonderful environment for dogs. She is welcoming and kind and she obviously cares and understands dogs. She welcomed our somewhat shy retriever mix and made her feel welcome and then brought her dogs out one at a time to make sure our dog felt comfortable. Within three minutes, her two beautiful and friendly dogs and our dog were running thru her HUGE, securely fenced backyard. The pictures she sent showed that she had a good time all day, whether playing outside or resting inside. We feel very confident that we have done best for our dog when we leave her with Jaya and her kind family.”

“Big Mahalo Lina! Lina was professional,, punctual and incredibly friendly upon our first meet. Our pup, Nova, was drawn to her straight away and we knew she was in great hands. Lina asked us all of the right questions and was really patient as we explained some of Novas needs. This was our first time using the rover app and our first time away from our pup. We trusted Lina completely and did not have to worry one bit! Lina even sent us photos / videos of their adventures.  We absolutely will be using Lina again, highly recommend her 10/10!”

“Thank you, Andrea for taking care of Daisy. I look forward to your help in day care in the future.”

“You know how some people get along with animals better than they do with people? Those people who have bumper stickers that say, "I love my dog", or...even better, "I love my dog, it's people I'm not so sure about"? Basically, the kind of animal lover who truly believes that animals are essentially better people than people? Tom Zuback isn't one of them. If he had a bumper sticker, it would say "I love my dog, but don't worry, I could learn to like you, too." Tommy is a lover. For the purposes of Rover.com, I'm going to focus on his love of dogs. When my dog died, he checked on me several days a week for several more weeks than was required as a friend. And in speaking with him, he would ask what I missed most. He understands the relationship between people and their dogs. He was a City slicker for many years, but he did not allow that to impede his ability to be a dog lover. While his apartment would not let him keep a dog there, he was a steadfast sitter to his friends' dogs, especially to labradoodles Trevor and Spencer - for over 15 years! I've known Tommy since we were 7 years old. When I met him, and for what seemed like our entire childhood, he had Suzette. Suzette was a French poodle, and Suzette was also the friendliest poodle ever met - then and 50 years later! No doubt, Suzette was loved, and she couldn't help but be kind to others because of the love she felt at home. Never did I think twice about leaving my dogs in the care of Tommy. He's the kind of person who hears about a dog who attacked someone and whose first thought is "what was that dog going through? What happened to that dog?" - his last thought is "that dog is bad". By profession, Tommy is a photographer. While he has had the opportunity to photograph celebrities and People magazine-worthy moments, and more than once been at the right place at the right time to catch the star of the moment, if you asked him about his favorite photo gig, he'd tell you that it's the one with the dogs. I don't know the name of it, actually. How funny is that! He's been doing it for years, and it's not about the status of the event or the opportunity it presents in Tommy's mind/career. It's a fundraiser for dogs, and each year when he is called upon to be its photographer, I know I am going to get a bunch of photos with the photographer being loved by, or loving, a dog. As I write this, I'm not entirely sure who takes those photos, but all I know is that Tommy is in his element. (Side note: he must do a fantastic job photographing this dog promoting event, as he's asked back year after year.) I have zero reservations about Tommy being a friend to any dog, and I have all the confidence in the world to recommend him as a pet walker/sitter/lover. I may trust him more with a dog than with my mother. Just kidding, but hopefully you get the idea. He loves, fur or no fur, but fur is a plus. Thanks for the opportunity to recommend Tommy (Tom) Zuback.”

“Chandupa is such a great sitter! She is so patient and communicative. My dog is really energetic and she knows how to handle him. 100% recommend.”

“Jamie was great. She also sent us pictures of Kiwi during his stay.”

“My dog Happy had a happy day at Tao's home. He made friends with Rilley. Tao kept me updated with photos and videos. We're very happy with the service and will definitely go back.”

“Kiana was amazing — She clearly adores dogs, and she spent time chatting with me before I left so both my pup and I felt comfortable. She sent me pictures though out the day showing my dog enjoying playing and napping. Her pricing is fair, and her location is convenient and pleasant. We will absolutely be repeat customers. Thanks, Kiana!”

“Margarida and her family are true dog-lovers!! They welcomed my dog, Rio with great warmth and understanding. It was Margarida who suggested a ‘meet and greet’ before our first doggy-care session to ensure that her dog Eliot and Rio will get along well. This meeting was a great success and put us both at ease. During the doggy-care session, I not only received updates, pictures and videos; but also got a report card for Rio at the end of the day. Very impressive!! Already re-booked Rio for boarding.”

“Lily was so excited to come back for another day care at Kritis! She takes great care of lily and sends updates throughout the day! Will definitely be bringing lily back many more times!!”

About: I’ve had pets since the 6th grade. People always told me that I connect with animals way more than I do people. They just have a a special place in my heart ❤️. I currently work full time 10pm-6am but during the day I’m am totally free. I love the outdoors and I love taking my dogs on walks and runs and to the dog park Although I don’t have a fence yard I live in a pet friendly complex. I can easily crate your dog if needed. A lot of love kisses and cuddles and play time.

“AJ was great! So professional and caring. My dogs loved spending day with him . Definitely recommend him and will come back with my babies.”

“Christie took great care of Joy for the day, she posted pictures to keep us up to date which was very helpful being Joy's first daycare with her. She took out Joy for her 30mins walk and ensured she took proper rest. Joy also had a great time with Brooklyn who clearly helped her to feel welcome and loved. Highly recommend Christie.”

“Whitney has watched our goldendoodle multiple times. He is always so happy to go and I honestly think he'd prefer to stay when we come pick him up! They have two of their own dogs so there is always a buddy around and their whole family is loving and kind. Whitney will take wonderful care of your furry friend!”
