Dog Boarding in Old Lyme

“We will use Renana again and again! She’s the epitome of a dog lover and takes such good care of our Ziggy while we are gone. He comes home happy and exhausted :)”

“Lauren was really sweet and took great care of Max. She sent photos and videos and kept us well-updated. We will definitely use her again!”

“Hope's stay with Erica and Thomas left her exhausted and happy. I have never seen my dog look sad when I picked her up from somewhere but she was definitely not ready to leave them. It was obvious through her demeanor and how the kids came running down from school just to give her a hug goodbye that she was well cared for during her stay. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a great family to leave their dog with and will be leaving Hope with them again soon.”

“Mary Jo was absolutely perfect. We have never left our pup with anyone before and we were a little nervous about it. Mary Jo put us at ease and took great care of our St Bernard. Communications were perfect, updates were timely and we will ABSOLUTELY be using Mary Jo again!”

“Shannon hosted our dog for a week while we went on vacation. I highly recommend her! We had a meet and greet prior and then checked in before the start day. Shannon was always quick to respond. She knows dogs so well and took great care of our lab. She also sent a couple of photos and videos while we were away. We will definitely be returning to Shannon the next time there is a need! Thank you so much Shannon!”

“Cayton was amazing with our 2 year old pointer, Arlo!!! He is extremely energetic and affectionate. Cayton took wonderful care of him and he came home happy and well exercised. Cayton is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs and we feel happy knowing we always have a place to leave our pup.”

“Amanda is amazing! Our senior pup was clearly well loved and doted after (and frankly, is probably dreaming about being able to go back to Amanda!). 100% recommend.”

“Deveny was fantastic with Chester. Her place is totally puppy proof and right across the parking lot to a fantastic dog park. Lots of area for walks as well. Archie is a blast and is very good at making friends with other dogs and sharing his toys. Great experience.”

“Joe took great care of Banjo! Banjo is super small and has a lot of anxiety around new places, but I could tell he settled in quickly and felt very comfortable. Would book with Joe again any time!”

“Our little dog, (Dogo) is very shy, she's not comfortable going with just anyone. Heidi is her magic best friend who can always get her excited to come for a walk or a visit. Heidi is the only person we trust to take Dogo for the weekends when we are away, we know that she'll be happy, well cared for, and totally spoiled!”

“Tina is by far one of the best dog sitters. She had my two fur babies for almost a week and was quick to respond and send updates as well as pictures of the dogs throughout their stay. I am extremely happy as Tina and her 2 beautiful daughters all exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use her going forward and recommend anyone who is looking for a sitter for your pet and want to feel comfortable with the person caring for them, Tina is that person. I promise you will not be disappointed ?. Thank you Tina & girls for everything. I hope to see you all soon ???”

“Chandra was great with my Chihuahua. He got all the love he needed and then some. She sent pics while my dog was at her house and he seemed happy. I highly recommend Chandra.”

“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”

“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”

“Suzanne's family really embraced our pup as one of their own pack 🙂 Pictures and updates were great and put us at ease. Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Ariel and her family were amazing with our pups! They got so much love and attention, I actually don’t think our dogs missed us at all. Ariel sent picture updates all the time which was huge for us since we left them for two weeks. Our dogs came back smelling amazing and happy! Thanks again Ariel, I think we found our pups home away from home!”

“Awesome experience! Very kind, took excellent care of my cat.”

“My dog had a great time. Because she is/was an anxiety prone rescue of 8 months, I was worried she would become very nervous again. But she was very happy. Melissa's back yard is great and I am sure that was one reason my small dog was so happy. And Melissa is very accommodating.”

“Using Anthony as our dog sitter was one of the best decisions we've made for our 2 dogs. His genuine love and care for animals shone through in every interaction. Anthony went above and beyond to ensure our dog felt comfortable and loved while we were away. He provided regular updates and even sent adorable photos, giving us peace of mind knowing our pup was in great hands. We highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Terry did a wonderful job with our new and somewhat fearful puppy. She took care during our meet & greet that Nellie would be comfortable in her home with a cat, and kept us up to date throughout Nellie's stay with messages and pictures. Terry is patient and thoughtful , and will be a wonderful caregiver to your pet!”
