Doggy Day Care in Tolland

“Karina was absolutely wonderful to work with. Everything was super clear and she took wonderful care of our fur baby. I felt confident and at ease the whole time. She has a lot of care and compassion for animals and its clearly evident by how she interacts with them. Our pup was happy as could be when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Karina!”

Kate S.

“She did such a great job! Nozzle came home so tired and I was a happy dog Mom bShe was able to take him at such a short notice and was a life saver for us. I would recommend her to anyone. She’s very flexible with schedules too!”

About: Not only did I grow up around dogs (one of my own and many neighbors’ dogs who I helped sit for), but I am also currently a proud dog mom to five medium-to-large dogs who are my entire life, some of whom I’ve raised from 8 weeks all the way through senior-hood. I have fostered over a dozen other dogs in addition to my own of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have cared for dogs with both medical and behavioral issues as well. I work from home four days a week with minimal meetings and plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I don’t travel for my job. I do have commitments some evenings after 4pm. I have a fenced yard and very friendly dogs who would love to have a playmate! I also have two spare bedrooms to keep dogs separate if they need their own space or some quiet time. I have plenty of dog-safe brain teasers and puzzles to get their brains working as well. I do triathlons in my spare time and love to go for walks/runs with pups too!

“Gail is a dream! She kept my girl active and engaged and shared pictures as well. I had total peace of mind leaving my pup with her. She is also a great communicator. Highly recommend.”

“Left my baby for a trial stay. While it was hard to leave him literally crying Katie was so great about assuring me things had calmed down a few minutes later and all was good. I appreciated that peace of mind. Katie was also great about super responsive and timely communication. We would definitely reach out again.”

About: Are you tired of leaving your precious pooch in the hands of unreliable dog sitters who end up losing them in a game of hide and seek? Fear not, for I am here to save the day! As a self-proclaimed dog whisperer (or at least a dog babbler), I have a knack for understanding canine language and can decipher even the most cryptic tail wags.

Trust me with your dogs, and I promise they'l be treated like royalty! Every day, without fail, my furry friends are a top priority in my routine. From the moment I wake up to the moment I hit the hay, their well-being is at the forefront of my mind. Mornings are dedicated to early walks and playtime to ensure they start the day on the right paw. Throughout the day, I make sure they have plenty of water, food, and cuddles to keep them happy and healthy. Evenings are reserved for winding down with a cozy snuggle session and maybe a movie marathon featuring their favorite dog-themed films. Pet care isn't just a task on my to-do list – it's a way of life that brings me endless joy and fulfillment. Welcome to my pet paradise! When your furry friends stay with me, they become part of the family. My home is equipped with all the comforts and amenities to make them feel right at home, from cozy beds and plenty of toys to a spacious backyard for playtime and potty breaks.

Rest assured, when your pets board with me, they'll be in loving hands and treated like royalty until you come back to fetch them.

“I used Vanessa for the first time on Thanksgiving. She took really good care of little Milo. He can be shy, but he was very comfortable with Vanessa. I will definitely use her again.”

“This was the first time that I used Eric. Eric and his wife were wonderful with Milo. Eric let me know that Milo was doing well and also sent a picture. Milo came home happy and tired. I will definitely use Eric again.”

“Sarah is very attentive to my dog! She has made her very welcome and my dog has adjusted very well. I am very glad to have a safe and comfortable place to leave my dog while I am at work. Sarah is wonderful!”

“My Gemma loves her time”

“MJ and Tyler have been wonderful. We got a new puppy about a month ago, so we immediately started looking for care on the days of the week that we are not working from home. She immediately messaged me back and arranged for us to come over and meet them and their dogs ahead of time. They have been wonderful, our puppy clearly loves being over there and gets so excited in the morning when I drop her off. And she comes home tired and happy. It gives great peace of mind, knowing she’s well taken care of during the days we can’t be at home with her . 😊”

“Maria is truly amazing and treats my puppy Bella like family. She is caring, responsible and very flexible. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for help.”

About: Hi there! I’m so glad you’re here. As a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home professional, I’ve created a cozy, peaceful space where pups can feel right at home while their humans are away. I only host one dog at a time (unlike many petsitters), so your pup will be treated like family and get my full attention (and all the belly rubs they deserve). I specialize in anxious pups who do not like being with other dogs and do not like being alone - I keep my pup clients as close as they like and give them as much attention as they prefer. My husband and I have two children, 8 and 10 years old, who are very gentle and loving with dogs. We treat our guest pups like they were are own while they’re with us! All our doggy guests are welcome to make themselves at home—on the couch, in the sunny spots, wherever they’re happiest, I do not confine them to one room/zone of the house - no pet gates here! I have a large, unfenced backyard with a dog run for zoomies and potty breaks and we love getting out for walks too. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so if your pup needs a little extra TLC, they’re in good hands. If you’re looking for a quiet, cozy home-away-from-home where your dog will be loved and spoiled, I’d love to be their sitter! Please note: unfortunately we have an allergy in our home to short-haired shedding dogs and can only accept long-haired (hypoallergenic) dogs :) I'm home all day to spend time with your pup and treat them like they were my own! My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re still at home, ensuring they experience joy and companionship until you return. I will send regular updates and photos to reassure you that your furry friend is thriving and enjoying their time. We have a large un-fenced backyard with a run hooked-up for your pup to spend lots of time outside. We also love to take walks down our street and at the local park. If your pup has some leash aggression with other dogs, we can walk them in our large private backyard to ensure they get exercise but without the stress other dogs may cause. If they’re house trained they do not need to be crated unless it’s their preference. In the house, I allow our doggy friends on furniture (unless you specify otherwise) and in all rooms of my home. They will not be separated in a different room or crated, unless you specify otherwise.

“Rockie had a wonderful time playing chase with her new doggie friends in the back yard and came home a tired and happy pup after a wonderful day with Khanh and Tommie, She will stay with them again!”

About: I am a loving and attentive dog owner. I love nothing more than to take care of my K9 friends. I have always had a dog and currently one. I understand that all dogs have a big personality with a lot of understanding required. I am just as happy running with a dog as I am a quiet day of relaxation indoors. Whatever your pet needs I provide. I take pride in understanding my pets needs. It can be hard when their owner is always gone at work but I can help relieve some of that anxiety. I’ll work within your pets restrictions and needs to better suit them and to make sure they feel at home! Give me a call if you need! I’m a professional artist and I work from home so dog care needs fit well into my life. I have a dog of my own and a cat as well that are both well loved. My environment is very well suited for pet care. I have a social elderly dog and a sweet kitty who’s very friendly. We have a big yard, spacious house and pet friendly environment. Pups always get two walks a day and plenty of attention:

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also volunteered at Pooch Palace, where I served as a companion for dogs and helped with their daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and providing comfort. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m able to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and sitting throughout the week, as well as weekends. I plan my time carefully to make sure each pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they need I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every home I work in. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I also respect clients’ homes and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Although it was my pup’s first time & she was super anxious, Allison was very patient with her & made her feel comfortable during her visit. She sends frequent updates & is very pleasant to talk to. Definitely recommend!”

“Joseirys was excellent. She was very responsive, kind and took really good care of my dog while I was away. 100% recommend her.”

Hannah H.

“Thank you so much for your understanding and care. She had such a great time and slept all the way home. Wish you lived closer because I know Mei would love to visit again. She is so shy and you really became friends fast. You are the best!”

Helen I.

“Kimberlly was super communicative and very understanding of our dog Chloe's separation anxiety. Chloe had a great time with her. We would definitely book again!”
