Doggy Day Care in South Salem

“Rafa LOVES Andrea. Rafa had a very full visit with Andrea and came home happy and exhausted. Andrea is very friendly and (obviously) loves dogs. She treats your dog like he is her own and I felt so comfortable leaving Rafa there. It was wonderful to have an evening out, knowing he was well cared for while also having a ball.”

“So glad we found Rich to watch our dog. He was super attentive to her (She is 15 and blind). Highly recommend him to anyone needing pet care. Will definitely be using him again”

“John is very professional and friendly. He made me feel at ease leaving my 9 week old puppy, Lluvia, with him. Lluvia had an amazing time! 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Val ( and family ) were absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute booking for our dog, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Throughout the week, she sent lots of photos and videos, keeping us updated and reassured that our pup was happy and well cared for. It was clear she treated our dog like family, and we could tell how much love and attention she gave. We came home to a healthy, happy dog, and we’re so grateful for her exceptional care. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely use her again in the future!”

“Our puppy Franklin loved daycare with Nathalia and Edison. They took great care of him, were super flexible, and were very easy to communicate with. They have a fenced-in backyard that is perfect for puppy play time. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Dew cared for my 5 ducks over the Christmas holiday for over a week, which involved feeding and moving the ducks between their locked coop in the morning and evening to their outdoor pen during the day. While I was gone, several states away, there was an issue with our water supply for the ducks for a day, and Dew was resourceful in making sure the ducks were watered. Due to low temperatures in the morning, the water could turn to ice overnight and needed to be melted - usually this could be done with water from my house, but there was emergency water work being done in my neighborhood while I was gone. We kept in good communication, and Dew brought hot water to our house to make sure the ducks could get water for the day. I appreciate that she went above and beyond!”

About: I will take care of your dog(s) as my own! I have been pet sitting since my college years and now I am happy to offer a great family environment for your pets at my home. I have a friendly Golden Retriever and a large fenced yard for the dogs to play and explore. I am full time stay at home mom and I am always watching the dogs. They are cared for in a family setting, roaming free around the house, the ones who are boarded spend dinner time and evening time cuddling and watching movies with us. They are included in everything we do around the house, brushed and cleaned daily, and spend a lot of time playing outdoors. I love all breeds, but currently taking care of medium to large dogs, family friendly breeds only. We live in a quiet residential area, so please be respectful of the neighborhood. Please know that: - Drop off and pick up hours are 8am-7pm by appointment only. - No Saturday drop offs and pickups in respect for our family time. - Boarding is 2 nights minimum; 3 nights on holiday weekends. - Daycare must be on recurring weekdays, no daycare on weekends. - We offer discounted rates for long-term stays. - Calendar is always updated up to 6 months ahead. Trust and safety of your dog(s) are my top priorities as I know what it takes boarding my own dog while away. - I have a fully fenced yard and a few designated dog areas in my home to play and sleep. - My lawn is treated for ticks seasonally with pet safe materials. - I only board family friendly breeds for the safety of everyone. - Rough play is not allowed in my home. - Dogs do not leave property while boarded; they get to play in the yard all day. - They don’t get to interact with any dogs that are not personally known by me. - No table food is offered unless specifically agreed with owner. - Each dog sleeps on their own bed in a separate gated area at night, unless they are from the same family. - The orthopedic dog beds are washed after each boarding. - The yard is kept clean of doggy poop at all times.

“Jhensen was an awesome dog sitter for my German shepherd emmy! He sent me tons of pictures and was totally accommodating. I felt secure in the fact that Emmy was okay while I got called into an all day double shift. I would definitely recommend his pet sitting and will definitely call him if I need a dog sitter. Emmy liked him right away. Thanks Jhensen. ”

“Kevin is amazing! He is very kind and he took good care of my baby. My dog loved playing with his dogs. He is also great at sending pictures/videos and communicating. Highly recommend. Thank you Kevin!”

“Another great week with monika! She always provides good updates/pictures and is super responsive. Nate has only been there a few times so far but is already excited when we get out of the car at her place when we drop him off. I think he knows where he’s going now!”

“Nicole is not only knowledgeable but you can feel how she loves taking care of animals! I appreciate so much the care she has provided and will using her again! Thank you 🙏🏻”

“Can’t say enough about how great Ken is with Havoc! It’s hard to find someone knowledgeable about working breed dogs and how to handle them. Havoc comes home relatively tired after each visit - which is saying something for a Dutchie!”

“My dog, Luna, had a great day at Kyle’s. He’s got a great setup for pups to play inside and out, and he clearly understands dogs well and is able to give them great care. Luna is very nervous around new people, and Kyle was able to attend to her needs and made sure she was comfortable during her stay. Will definitely be back.”

About: We are a family of animal lovers! Matt and Brooke have three children: May, Luca, and one Mr. Bo Jangles - our 70lb rescue mutt. Matt works from home, and Bo is a fun loving, gentle, and patient goof who gets along with everyone he's ever met (two-legged and four-legged). When Bo first joined our family, we gave him the greatest gift of all: a fenced in yard. Bo Jangles would love to share his home, his yard and his walks with new friends. Matt is self employed, and working from home affords total flexibility and customizable routines, based on individual pet's needs. Walks and playtime are already part of our family's daily life, and the more the merrier. We offer care for both cats and dogs. Matt rescued a handsome young feral cat, Bootsie, nearly twenty years ago, but sadly, Bootsie passed away in the winter of 2023. With years of doting love, Boots turned from fierce and ornery into a pretty mellow family pet. Boots even surprised us all by accepting Mr. Bo Jangles into the family fold, and occasionally even snuggling with him! Whether you have a cat or a dog, Mr. Bo Jangles will treat your pet with respect, just as Bootsie learned. A few other perks: In addition to a fenced yard, our home is ideally located for commuters, right behind West Conn's Westside Campus. Our neighborhood is in a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, ideal for leisurely walks full of sniffing and exploring. If for any reason your pet does not enjoy Mr. Bo Jangles' overtures of friendship, we have an excellent set up to keep them separate, including separate exits to the fenced in yard. Our whole house is completely pet friendly, with no spaces that are off limits to pets. Additionally, we are a smoke free home. Both May and Luca love animals and would love to give extra pets and snuggles if your pet enjoys children, but they will also respect their independence and wishes.

“She was great, responsive and very caring with my dog.”

“I want to come back as one of Del’s dogs in my next life! She is one of the very few people I trust with my dog. She’s extremely caring, loving, energetic, and detail-oriented. She anticipates your dogs’ every needs - the dogs’ comfort and happiness are her true priority!”

“We love Lily and her family! Flynn has the best time hanging out there and always is so excited to return. Thank you for taking care of Flynn for us!”
