Pet Boarding Wallingford

“We had a great experience with Kate! Our dog, Sampson, stayed in her home and was very well cared for. Communication was easy and consistent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. Sampson is pretty easygoing, but it was clear he was treated with attention and kindness. We will definitely book with them again.”

“They are AMAZING!! My little dog Mochi loved them a lot and I can tell he had good time with them. Normally Mochi is very shy with other people. But right away when Mochi sees Nadine family, they are already being friends. They knows dogs well and find out very quick what doggy needs. Friendly, sweet, treat like family. Everyday send me a comment (condition of my dog, what is plan) with good pictures. It makes me feel so much comfortable. Best people ever! I will come back with them. Thank you so much!! ☺️”

“My puppy was very happy to stay with Jenn. I loved getting updates and photos. I felt secure leaving my precious dog with her. I interviewed other sitters and correctly knew Jenn would be great. She was!”

“Matthew was by far the best dog sitter I've ever dealt with. Very caring and adaptive. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Sabrina is the best! She introduced my timid Elvis to her 2 little dogs and they became fast friends. She was very concerned Elvis wouldn't eat, so she offered to cook him some chicken. After a walk in the woods, she found a tick on him and pulled it out. She sent me pictures of the dogs playing together. My favorite was of him cuddling up to her. I will definitely ask her to watch my baby again.”

“My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)”

“It was our first time leaving our puppy Misha with a sitter for 2 nights, and we are so grateful to Catherina for her thoughtful care. She was very organized, responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos of Misha at home and during walks. She gave Misha his prescription medication on time, and he had fun playing with Catherina's puppies. We are so happy with Cat's great care, and highly recommend her.”

“Georgiana was so great with Bear! She sent pictures and updates throughout watching Bear, and was very easy to communicate with. Will definitely have Bear stay with her in the future!”

“My fur babies were very well taken care of. THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEIR TIME. My babies were so very loved while I was gone. Highly recommend”

About: With over 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs, animals have always been the center of my life. I am a certified dog trainer through ABC (Animal Behavior College), where I completed coursework and hands-on mentorship training. My first Jack Russell, full of energy and determination, inspired me to become a trainer and deepened my passion for understanding animal behavior. Today, I share my home with a younger, playful pack, including another Jack Russell, and I’ve learned the importance of balancing order, safety, and discipline with letting dogs simply enjoy being dogs. I believe younger dogs benefit from observation, gentle guidance, and time to grow before intense training, so my focus is always on safe, positive, and enriching experiences. I use equipment designed for safety — such as secure belt leashes — to make sure dogs are comfortable and protected on walks. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, or high-maintenance small breeds, I have the hands-on experience to give each pet the right level of care and attention. My senior dog, who recently passed after nearly 17 years by my side, required 24/7 care during her final year. That experience taught me patience, vigilance, and the deep responsibility of caring for animals at every stage of life. Our home is designed with pets in mind — safe, welcoming, and filled with love. With a friendly resident pack, dogs here need to enjoy the company of other dogs to feel at home. Small dogs are my specialty, but I welcome pups of all kinds and treat every animal as if they were my own. The only challenge you might face? Your dog may not want to go home. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re with our dogs throughout the day. We balance our time between working indoors and enjoying the outdoors when the weather is nice, with walks and dog park visits built into our mornings and evenings. We also enjoy picnics, hikes, and other activities that include our pets, since they’re truly part of our everyday life. None of our animals are ever crated — they’re free to be with us and part of our routine at all times. We have three secure, fenced yard areas designed for different activities. One area is set aside for bathroom breaks, where pets can go on their own. The other two yards are used for supervised playtime. Inside, our dogs have access to two levels of the home. The lower level is the cat zone, and the cats also enjoy access to one of the fenced yards. All pets have free range within their spaces and spend the day with me or my partner, so they are always supervised and cared for. We don’t crate any of our own pets — they are all very friendly and used to being around both cats and dogs. I’m a very hands-on, “helicopter” type fur mom — safety, love, and care are always my top priorities. I make sure pets are mentally stimulated, and I’m always checking for ticks or any health concerns. I shared my life with two beloved dogs for nearly 17 and 15 years, and losing them a few years ago was heartbreaking. They traveled everywhere with me and showed me the depth of the bond we share with animals. Caring for pets is my greatest passion, and I feel honored every day to be in their company. I will do whatever is required to keep your animals happy and cared for as if they were my own. I will always follow your instructions closely — from feeding to routines — and will never do anything that isn’t approved by you. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness come first.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even ferrets! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I’m also a registered nurse, so being dependable, attentive, patient, and caring comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll always treat yours like my own. I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to caring for animals! 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays throughout the week, including weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting walks and playtime into my day is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routines, especially when their owners are away! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free

“We cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.”

About: I’ve always had pets in my home and absolutely love caring for animals! I currently have two sweet cats of my own, and over the years, family and friends have trusted me to care for their dogs and cats. While I’m new to Rover, I have hands-on experience with dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of opportunities to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I also have a large yard and live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, making it a great environment for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention during the day, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, following their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also take dogs for walks around my quiet neighborhood and make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. When pets stay in my home, I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Dogs who are comfortable around cats are welcome to enjoy the common areas of my home. For cats, I also have a separate room available so they can have their own quiet, comfortable space if they prefer to be away from other animals.

“Karina & Teresa were able to watch my baby in a short notice. I am so grateful to them. They were so loving and caring towards Bennett. They ensured he had a home away from home and kept me updated.”

“Araceli was very sweet and accommodating with my dog Bella. This was my first experience using rover and she made it as seamless as possible. She provided photo and video updates which I appreciated! I would definitely book with Araceli in the future for doggy care!”

Michelle A.

“Anita and her family sent photos and stayed with me on text letting me know how she was. She was very happy to help us and gentle with our husky who gets anxiety away from us! She is now the permanent person to care for our pup when we go away! Thank you Anita if I could give 10 Stars we would!❤️❤️❤️”

“We have left our dog Murphy with Jill twice now. She clearly takes great care of him and he gets lots of attention and walks when he’s there. Jill was even kind enough to bring Murphy over for pictures when we left him with her for our wedding. She’s the best!”

“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”
