Dog Boarding in Simsbury

“Katie took excellent care of Sadie while we were away on vacation - after meeting her during the meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving Sadie at her house. Will absolutely use her again for any future vacations, she is quick to respond and very accommodating!”

“I was very anxious about using a new sitter during a week-long vacation, but Allison immediately put my mind at ease! It was clear from the moment we met, that my dog, Grandpa, was in good hands. She sent photos every day along with daily updates, which made it much easier to relax! I recommend Allison without hesitation and will definitely be using her again!”

“MJ was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very accommodating for a fairly last minute booking as well as both a changed drop off and pick up time. Our pup seemed to have a great time and we were kept up to date with photos of him during his stay. Highly recommend MJ!”

Chris W.

“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“Our 3 year old border collie was well cared for by Cruz Maria and her husband. He got plenty of playtime in the fenced back yard. Cruz Maria sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. He came back to us very happy and healthy. We will place Scout with them again”

Dale W.

“Andrea was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our pup, Scooby, felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We loved receiving the regular updates with pictures and videos, it gave us such peace of mind while we were away. To top it off, she even gifted Scooby the cutest goodie bag when we picked him up! I highly recommend Andrea and will definitely trust her to watch Scooby again in the future.”

Ashley M.

“Jill and Sean were super kind and accommodating with my old doggie. He came home happy and they were able to be flexible when my schedule shifted. Thanks for taking good care of Bugsy.”

Benjamin R.

“Being that this was Hannah's first experience away from us, and with the separation anxiety she has, Karina showed a lot of patience and compassion in helping Hannah feel at home. I would highly recommend her if you are in need of a sitter.”

Lisa C.

“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”

Hive M.

“Katrini was wonderful with Bella. We never had to worry about Bella while we were away; Katrini sent us updates. Bella always has a good time and safe time with Katrini and she feels like home there. We highly recommend Katrini!”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for my entire adult life, opting for fur babies over physical children. I’m the proud momma of a Yorkie, German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog. I also volunteer as a foster with New England Puppy Rescue (NEPR). I believe that sharing our lives with dogs is one of life’s greatest joys. And while there’s few things I enjoy more than cozy days home with my babies, I also have a strong passion for travel. For years I have tried an assortment of different pet sitters and it’s been a bit frustrating. We’ve had sitters where their prices jumped substantially without warning. Ones that have promised to send photos and then provided minimal updates during their stay. And others that were hard to coordinate dates with. But worst of all we’ve dealt with too many that didn’t quite feel like the right fit. They lacked that feeling of warmth and connection. Over these experiences I have learned that it can feel impossible at times to find the care that truly puts your mind at peace. And so I’ve decided to become that in which I seek. I want to be a safe haven for others - so that when you’re out of town you can feel the truest sense of comfort knowing your beloved pets are in the best care possible. Not only will I treat your dogs like they’re my own - spoiled with plenty of playtime and affection - but I will provide daily report cards and beautiful candid photos. I am a firm believer in building relationships with my clientele so you’ll feel comfortable each and every time you need my care. My three dogs are incredibly sweet and will also make for great hosts, if you should decide to have us watch your little cutie in our home. We have a beautiful, spacious partially fenced in yard. A fenced in pool with its own puppy deck for those hot days when the pups want to bask in a few inches of splash time (life jackets are an option). We also have a gated deck so everyone can hang outside together without any concern of wildlife. For drop-in dog walking visits, I can come with my Bernese Mountain Dog if you prefer. So your angel gets some puppy playtime while we get their exercise in. I am flexible to make sure you’re getting the customized care your little one needs. I even offer an add-on option of airport pickup and dropoff if you’re traveling. Whatever you need, I’m willing to work with you to become your trusted go-to for your pet’s needs. I work entirely remote so I’m with my dogs nearly 24/7. Whether lounging around at home, enjoying playtime outside in the yard or going for nice walks my life is devoted to my own fur family. And I’d love to pay it forward and offer my devoted care to your pets for those times when you can’t be nuzzled up at home with them. My dogs are treated like family. They have full run of the house with toys scattered about. On beautiful days we hang out for hours on our gated deck. And in the summertime they love coming out to our fenced in pool for playtime complete with a sun shelf which serves as a fun, puppy splash pad. Every moment is fully supervised. Especially when we are outdoors. Our backyard is partially fenced but for all of our fur-guests I will be personally taking them out on leash for potty breaks. While our dogs are incredibly obedient and frolick about off-leash in our yard I never want to chance an escape artists for our fur-guests. My dogs love to snuggle on the couches and bed and we never deny them that. Which is the same way we’d welcome a new friend into the mix. We’re used to dog hair everywhere :) For dog walking visits I can come solo or bring along my sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, Willie. Whichever you prefer! Whatever your needs - just ask. I’m happy to accommodate your little one.

“I unconditionally and without reservation recommend Tyler for dog boarding. Tyler was excellent with my 7-yrs old female Australian Cobberdog, Abby (AND with her nervous parent, me). Abby has not ever been boarded prior to this 14-days boarding. Abby is quite shy when first meeting people. A week prior to the boarding, I visited Tyler in the front yard of his house and after Abby checked him out, she was wagging her tail, licking his hand and then snuggled up against him inviting him to pet her. During the 2-weeks boarding, Tyler was attentive to Abby's needs for reassurance which helped her to adjust to his house, his girlfriend, and their two dogs. Abby found a place for herself on his kitchen breakfast booth seat. Tyler gave Abby her required daily medication, fluoxetine. Tyler reported Abby's status daily with a picture. He used treats appropriately. Tyler even cooked Abby plain chicken at the beginning of the 2-wks boarding to help her to eat. In sum, Tyler has a lot of knowledge about dogs- training, exercise, diet, and boarding. I will be comfortable to leave Abby with him again, as soon as late October for another 2 weeks when I'm off to New Zealand for a biking tour.”

“Karen is amazing! We can tell she loves our dog as much as we do and he has the most amazing time with her! When we're on vacation, he's on vacation at Karen's!”

Elizabeth G.

“This was a last minute trip and we needed someone to watch our baby. Shanagay was willing and open and ziva took to her right away. She was sweet and sent pictures and my dog loved her! We will absolutely use her again .”

Jazzie R.

“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”

“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“My 4 year old rescue Oscar is a very nervous pup. He is a mamas boy to the core. Had to leave him in CT to travel to FL for my sisters wedding. Orignally was planning to kennel him until I heard about Rover. Steve had over 100 return customers so we scheduled an interview. His home was comfortable and he allows full access to the dogs. We received pictures of Oscar daily and he made himself right at home lol. As long as Steve has space, next time we travel, Oscar will return.”

Deb T.

“Our pup was happy to see us but clearly loved her stay when we picked her up today. Recieved daily updates with pictures while we were away. Informed of any potential issues/concerns (a chewed meaauing cup that we were able to confirm was already chewed) in a timely maner. We highly recommend kaylyn!”

“Had such a wonderful experience with Wendy this past weekend, she and her family took great care of Layla and were very accommodating to our trip schedule. With a large backyard and other dogs to socialize with, I was glad to know Layla wouldn't ever feel alone while we were gone. 100% recommend Wendy's services.”

“I am so grateful we found Kristin :) Second visit for our golden, Sunny. While we were away Kristin sent pictures so we could see Sunny was so happy -- hiking, playing, and just snuggling...that just put us so much at ease. Sunny also comes home cleaner than when we left her which is no easy task! :) I think we have to leave Sunny with Kristin and Kaia more often because she clearly misses them when she comes home! Thank you for everything, Kristin (and Kaia!)”
