Doggy Day Care in West Hartford

About: I adopted two wonderful dogs in 2017. I rescued them from a kill shelter in Southern California. Both have rabies shots and flea/tick medication. Spouse says I can't get another pet, so I'll pet sit others instead! I love to be around other dogs and puppies! I would treat your pet(s) as my own. I live in a pet friendly area in Downtown Hartford near the river and Connecticut Science Center. I truly love animals. My friends, family, and even some neighbors have relied on me to take care of their fur babies when they've been away. I recently stopped working a temp job and am available all day. My spouse works half the week but there are usually two people in the household so your pet will be well taken care of. There is an area called Constitution Plaza with multiple grassy areas for dogs to stretch their legs. There's also a long river walk with plenty of grass and play areas, so it's perfect for some outside playtime early in the mornings, or maybe when the sun starts going down so as to not overheat them mid-day.

“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!”

“I’m very satisfied with Chris’s dog day care. Communication with him is clear and prompt. My dog had a great time playing with the few other dogs at the house. It is a great setup for a dog that does less well in large packs.”

“Very kind, sent lots of pics! Will def let Chacho stay with Sarah again 🙏🏼”

“Onyx and I did an initial meet and greet with Trenton and I loved that he brought out the dogs one by one to see how they would interact with each other. We ran into a bit of scheduling conflict with the initial booking; however, Trenton immediately reached out to problem solve. Trenton has been super responsive when I reach out for updates!”

“Ji Ah is wonderful! She Informed me all the details of Odie and Kirby’s activities. Also love the photos!”

“Jillian is kind and very helpful. She is also highly communicative and always on time. The dogs are always happier when they spend some time with her. Totally recommend her for your pets!”

“Triba is amazing! She loved peanut and made peanut feel safe and comfortable. This eased our anxiety too and we will definitely be working with Triba again soon!”

“Thank you so much Tomoko for taking care of Rocky for the past couple of weeks. Every time, Rocky could not wait to get into Tomoko’s house and to play with her dog. Thank you Tomoko for the wonderful videos and pictures and playing with the dogs. Thank you so so much for your flexibility when we had to pick up Rocky late. We really appreciate with your flexibility and that you take such good care of Rocky. We can tell that Rocky loves your place!!”

“I’ve never done this before. My 1st time leaving my dog anywhere to stay for a few days. Jill was great. She kept in communication and sent me photos of my dog and his progress throughout the day. I def recommend sitting with her because she is very attentive and pays attentive and treats my dog like her own.”

“Sofia & Marco did an amazing job with our dog Penny on her very first day with them. They sent lots of photos and had a great space for her to play outside. Their dog is very friendly and they got along great. Highly recommended, great at communicating too.”

About: Your custom care is here. I’ve taken care of German Shepherds and small teacup poodles. Let me know what you need and I will do my best! I’m a full-time teacher so I get out of school at four so I can walk your dog then. I work in Hartford so I can also let your fur baby out on my break. Let me know if you need me watch or sit any of your pets over the weekend. Blessings! I live in a large condo association with lots of paved areas to walk. Some elevation and other friendly dogs around here. There’s a large vacant parking lot if they want to throw a ball or frisbee. There is a trail nearby if they want to walk in the woods or on rocks and dirt.

“Lawton is great with dogs! My pup is a little anxious and has not had too much experience staying with dog-sitters but Lawton was excellent at making her comfy and easing her into the new environment.”

“I lived with Luke for 4 years and after 2 of those years he got a dog named Doug. Luke took great care of Doug and was sure to be attentive and aware of all his needs and then would react accordingly. He is responsible and certainly an animal lover that would make a great member of your team!”

“Kristi did a great job watching our pup! She definitely provided a great environment for our dog to get all the exercise and stimulation she needed during the day. Our dog came home tuckered out and ready to catch up on some sleep. I'll definitely be hiring Kristi again.”

“Debra was a wonderful sitter for TJ. She sent frequent updates, photos and videos. TJ loved her dog Max. I’m always know if TJ has had a good day with plenty of exercise by the way he crashes at night. Thank you Debra and Max for a wonderful day care day for our TJ.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own personal and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Most of my days/weekends are spent at home. During the day, your dog will get as much play time as the weather permits from walks to the local parks to as much cuddle time to comforting your fur-family. I have a gated fence for outdoor play and surveillance camera on site. I prefer to keep my furry friends close and tend to not let them out of sight. I often prefer not to crate unless requested.

“I have a Doberman who cannot be kenneled due to his anxiety. Chris stayed with him while we were on vacation and I could not be happier with how he was taken care of! Chris did an awesome job of keeping him on his normal schedule of feeding and walking. With the care he provided there were no issues and, when we returned, although he was happy to see us, it was obvious that he had a great week with Chris! I will definitely be using Chris again when we go on vacation!”

“Sutton is very attentive, thoughtful and kind! She has her Dog, Harley who she has raised since he was a puppy! She is use to the puppy problems and has experience taking care of the most difficult pups! She also has watched my puppy Sunbeam, he is a little pug with a big attitude! She is always attentive to what he does! She always takes him to the dog park and makes sure he is playing well with others! Sutton is amazing and will make your pup feel loved!!!”

“Rosa is so reliable and wonderful with Obi. We are delighted to have her close by so we can enjoy our day trips around CT. Thanks Rosa for all that you do to make us feel extremely comfortable leaving Obi in your care.”
