Dog Boarding Hartford

“We couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience for our dog than with Elina. We were a bit nervous to leave him, but from the moment we had the meet-and-greet with Elina and her dogs, we felt completely reassured that he would be in excellent hands. Elina’s communication was outstanding both before and during the stay. She kept us updated throughout and totally put our minds at ease. It was clear from the updates (and from how happy and relaxed he was afterwards!) that he had an amazing time. We would absolutely book with Elina again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an incredibly caring and reliable sitter.”

“Boarding our dog Milo with Timea was our first experience using Rover. We were really impressed with Timea throughout the process. She was friendly, communicated clearly during the booking and boarding process and most importantly cared for our furry friend with love and kindness. Timea wrote updates and was kind enough to send several photos and videos throughout our week holiday which we very much enjoyed receiving. We would be happy to board Milo with Timea again and would rest assured he would be happy, relaxed and well cared for. We would fully recommend. 5 stars!!”

“Colin had a great time. It was the first visit to a new minder and Annchalee and Will were lovely. We received picture updates with messages to let us know how Colin was and we could not have asked for a better experience for him. Thank you both.”

“Chelsea looked after our Labrador for 2 weeks while we were away on holiday. She kept us informed on Wilma's wellbeing throughout the stay, sending us regular updates with photos which helped to keep our minds at ease. Wilma appeared happy and healthy when we collected her and Chelsea had even given her a bath ready for our return.”

“First visit for my doggo. Can be nervous round strangers her being a rescue, especially men. I shouldn’t have worried. Pauline and her husband put my dog at ease really quickly at the meet and greet. More than happy to leave her for a sleepover next time.”

“Dolly seemed very content after her overnight stay with Charlotte. We are very happy with the service Charlotte gave & it’s very reassuring Dolly felt relaxed in her home. We have booked again for later in the year. Highly recommend.”

“Honey loved her first stay with Ellie and Alex, she was very happy and comfortable. Great communication, sending photos and updates throughout the stay. Thank you so much. Will be in touch for more bookings in the future.”

Samantha W.

“Nicola was very nice and I was sent some videos and pictures during the stay to keep me updated. I would recommend her and will be using her again to mind Sam in the future.”

“Jess and Ben have been wonderful. They are fantastic with dogs and immediately put us at ease. Bonny, our Tibetan Terrier, is usually quite reserved around strangers, but Jess and Ben had no trouble winning her over. They kept us updated throughout the day without us having to ask, which was greatly appreciated and gave us real peace of mind. By the time we arrived to collect her, it was obvious she felt completely at home and comfortable in their care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily leave Bonny in their care again.”

Assana A.

“Absolutely brilliant! She took care of my two spaniels and they were well cared for and happy and content from the pictures, would definitely book again!”

Debbie O.

“Benji enjoyed his time at Olivia’s, especially watching over the rabbits! She sent regular updates so we had peace of mind whilst leaving him for the first time for a few nights.”

About: I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, so I understand every stage of their development - from house training and boundless puppy energy to the gentler care seniors need. Our family dogs both lived to be 14, so I’m experienced with managing age-related conditions (such as heart issues and arthritis) and adjusting activities to each dog’s pace. Whether your dog needs a calm companion at home or a brisk lunchtime walk to burn off energy, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need, with lots of love along the way. I work full time from home, so am available as a companion for your dog through the day. I can take them on walks at lunch and/or after work, and can make sure they have frequent access to outside if required. At the weekend, we can extend walk times to suit your dog’s fitness. We are expecting a baby in January 2026, so our availability is reduced from then while we settle in as a family. We have a fenced garden, and many cosy dog beds dotted about the house. We have a stair gate to fence off upstairs if you’re worried about access to stairs, and our downstairs has LVT flooring which is not too slippy (geriatric dog approved!) so they shouldn’t have any difficulty scamping around. We also have a 13-year-old male Pugalier, who loves the company of other dogs. He will be happy to settle down next to them for a snooze, or watch avidly while your dog plays with toys.

“Vicky looked after my 2 small dogs for 3nights and they had the best holiday with her. They were so calm and relaxed when I picked them up and they loved her instantly. Will definitely ask Vicky to look after them again in future. Thankyou so much x”

“Andrew and has looked after our dog, Raffie, twice now, and we honestly couldn’t recommend him more. Raffie has had the best time on both stays and is always so well looked after. It’s clear he’s treated like one of the family, which gives us complete peace of mind when we’re away. One of Raffie’s favourite parts is spending time with their lovely dog, Corey. Raffie can’t wait to come back”

“Perfect Rover host. Warm and confident, I was able to leave Dougal overnight on a first reassured he was going to be well taken care of. Plenty of messages and pics to let me know he'd settled in and was enjoying his stay. Thank you Lauren x”

“Bailey had a wonderful time with Emma and family as always, they always take great care of him, keep in touch with photos and videos and we always feel very happy leaving Bailey with them!”

About: I've spent years caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments, from my family Cavachon to regularly looking after two Chow Chows and a Husky for friends. I occasionally work at a puppy yoga class in Manchester, where the puppies' wellbeing is the top priority. I particularly enjoy building confidence in nervous puppies and helping them feel safe and comfortable in new environments. Whether your dog is calm, energetic, shy or full of personality, I'll provide patient, reliable care tailored to their needs. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays (finishing at 12pm on Fridays), which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. I also work from home on some Tuesdays, and occasionally I have full weeks working from home, giving me even more availability. On the days I work in the office, I'm home by around 4pm, so I'm available for evening care and walks. I'm also free most weekends, making it easy to accommodate weekend bookings and provide dedicated care for your pets. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In your home, I'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication (if required), and any house rules your pet is familiar with. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their individual temperament—whether they love lots of interaction or prefer a quieter approach. If caring for pets in my own home, they'll have a clean, safe, and relaxed environment where they can feel comfortable. I have a decent-sized garden, and I live directly opposite a field with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby, so dogs can enjoy regular exercise. They'll always have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, lots of attention, and plenty of love and supervision.

About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who truly loves spending time with animals. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or cuddles at home, I make sure every pet feels safe and happy. I have experience with different breeds, including high-energy dogs, and I always adapt to their individual needs. I also have experience in dog training, helping pets learn good manners and basic commands. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a small breed, or a senior dog needing extra care and patience, I’m here to provide the best attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddle sessions, I plan my schedule to fit each pet’s needs. Since I have experience in dog training, I also include fun learning moments during our walks and playtime. I’m flexible and can adjust to different routines, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I provide pet care both in my home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what works best for the pet. Keeping them comfortable and stress-free is my priority, whether that means staying in their familiar environment or giving them a warm and loving space at my place. I ensure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care to keep them happy and healthy

“Tommy and his family kindly agreed to take our 2 Jack Russell’s - never easy as typical JRs! - and from the initial visit the dogs seemed at home, were in safe hands, and were going to receive all the care and attention they probably never get in a larger kennel environment. This made going away for a long weekend a much more relaxing time that it could have been. Tommy clearly had a love for animals and kept us updated throughout the weekend - again, a much valued way of knowing everything was ok. Would definitely re-book with complete confidence and fully recommend. Great to see someone with that passion trying to establish himself in this field too.”
