Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Bethway consistently takes such great care of my dog who’s stayed there 4+ times in the last year. I know she’s safe, comfortable and well taken care of while I am away. I trust them fully with caring for my dog.
My two dogs attended a board and train boot camp run by coaching4paws held at Bethway kennels. The facility is clean, well maintained and provides multiple areas for dogs to experience different training challenges.
Duke and Laney absolutely love it at Bethway kennels! The staff is super friendly and takes care of my pups like their own. Definitely stress free while on vacation knowing my dogs stay at BK!
Bethway is simply a wonderful place for our dogs and cat. Ann Marie and her team are incredibly thoughtful, sensitive to each dogs needs and vigilant about dog safety and well being. We have two dogs that have special needs and were really worried about leaving them anywhere over the years. Bethway put us completely at ease. They understand what each dog and what each dog owner needs. They keep a meticulously clean kennel as well. We've been taking our dogs to the kennel for 5 years and continue to do so even after moving to Boston 2 years ago! We love and trust Ann-Marie and Bethway so much that we drive 2 hours from Boston to Bethany to leave our dogs (and cat) whenever we have a trip that lasts more than a few days. It gives us so much peace of mind to know that they are well cared for. It's also affordable compared to local kennels in Boston so it's also a good value for us. We can't speak highly enough of Ann-Marie, her staff and Bethway. It is simply the best kennel and care we've ever had and we would never take our animals anywhere else. We can't recommend them highly enough.
Bethway was excellent with my 2 dogs. One is 12 years and the other 15 months. I highly recommend them
Great owners, beautiful property. I definitely recommend this place!
Bethway Kennels is a wonderful business and the only Kennel we would ever use. They are kind, caring, and always go above and beyond for our pets!
Great people and our dog Dottie loved it there! Best part is they also groom! Not only did we have someone to take care of our pooch but received a clean and freshly washed dog back! A+
I always board my puppies here. I know they are safe and loved. Taryn gives them perfect amounts of attention.
Would not go to any other kennel!! Ann Marie is the best!!!
Josh and his team are amazing with our two dogs Mona and Sparky. They are both rescues with difficult behaviors. Josh was the only dog-walker that was willing to take on the challenge and help us to walk our pups. After one year we can’t be more happy with the teams service.
Josh has been taking care of our 3 cats for at least 7 years and does a wonderful job. We always have peace of mind knowing he is on the job so we can enjoy our vacation highly recommend him
Highly recommend Woodbridge Pet Sitting! The staff is great! We have been using their services for well over a year and they take great care of your animals. Our dog just loves them!
I am so happy I found Woodbridge Pet Sitting when I moved to the area. My energetic Labrador greets Joshua or another staff member at the front door with wags an bounces - everyone else he barks at until he sees you! I only know this because I was here unexpectedly one day and hat he got a visit, I also got to see how much attention he gets with ball throwing and just general affection. I’m pleased to have found a company to can trust my dog to!
They will take care of all your pets as if they were their own. Always prompt and professional. Willing to adjust to your needs and your pets! Also many years of experience so you can trust them.
Woodbridge Pet Sitting has been caring for our pets (and house) for the past 10 years. They are extremely reliable and go above and beyond (including driving to our house at 4 am to meet the fire department when a faulty smoke detector set off a false alarm). We had 2 senior cats with special needs and a cockatiel, given very good care by WBPS. After those beloved pets passed, WBPS has been visiting our 2 cats since their kitten hood whenever we are away. Our house is isolated and gets a lot of snow and ice, WBPS always comes thru for us. We never have to worry when we are on vacation. Wood Bridge Pet Sitting is the best!
We hired Josh from Woodbridge Pet Sitting because our dog was old and we didn't want to bring him to the kennel. We couldn't be happier with Josh's professionalism and the great care he gave to our dog.
Great service, We have used them for years! The dogs get super excited to see them and they are reliable, trustworthy . We highly recommend their service.
I highly recommend using this company for pet sitting. They are reliable and professional. I knew my dog was well taken care of when I used their services.
Josh & team are the best. Nelson was relaxed and comfy in his own home. Thankyou....
My dog has been only with me since he was a puppy. I went to Best Friends and spoke to the man at the desk. He assured me they have experience with one person dogs. I left for New Hampshire with a measure of anxiety .....but returned 5 days later to find a bathed and relatively calm dog. Before I left I Made another reservation for November. I highly recommend them.
Shannon does a great job grooming my golden doodle. My Chloe always comes home happy. I know she is well cared for at Best Friends.
I e had my dog, Max groomed at Best Friends in Bethany quite a few years. Always had Katherine groom Max. She does such a fantastic grooming every time!!
This place is great we use them every year when we take are vacations he always comes back happy and he’s always well taken care of when he’s in there care. Also Shannon the groomer is great she always make sure not to get water in diesel ear because he get ear infections. Thanks Best Friends pet hotel
We have used best friends pet hotel several times when needing to board our husky. He always has a great time and comes home well bathed and well rested! I feel confident leaving him for his own vacation when we are away.
My pup 🐶 Cocoa is always clean and happy after his bath and grooming at Best Friends. The staff there are very kind and they put him at ease when it’s bath time! I would highly recommend 😊. …
We love Best Friends! The staff is so friendly and they love our Lola. I trust them to take good care of her when we are away on vacation. I love that I can check in on the web cams and see Lola playing happily with the other dogs, knowing she will be tired out and sleep comfortably. I would definitely add the go home bath. You get a late check out and your dog will come home clean and smelling great!
Shannon is wonderful! She treats our dog like he is her own. She not only gives him the cutest haircut but she consistently communicates with us about his grooming.
I am so thankful we have found a new place to board our dog, Wilson. They were attentive to his medical needs, attentive to our needs as nervous dog parents coming off of a bad experience at a previous boarding facility, and transparent in their communication with us. The communication was a huge part for us and we truly appreciate it! Wilson was also beautifully groomed and so affordable we will be back for future grooming! Thank you for making our family vacation that much more restful knowing our boy was being taken care of! The Binette Family
We absolutely love Best Friends Pet in Bethany. Everyone is always so kind and welcoming and our sweet pup always comes home happy and looking like a million bucks 😊 …
I love Sarah's Pet Sitting for taking care of my fur babies when I am away. I am extremely fortunate that they have sitters who can take care of guinea pigs, because many pet sitting services do not. All of the sitters we've had have carefully followed the instructions for their care. The service request process is straightforward and rates are reasonable. I also love the reports that they send for each visit that generally includes pictures and a short video. And it's clear that the sitters who come to my house really love and care about animals. My piggies have gotten used to their sitters. And often come up to them looking for food and begging for treats. I know this is a service I can trust and will continue to use as long as I have piggies and live in Connecticut!
My family is very happy with Sarah’s pet sitting service! We recently went away and had them watch our 3 dogs. The detailed notes for each visit along with the pictures of our boys made us feel at ease they were being well taken care of. So easy to book and communicate with! Highly recommend.
From dog walking to training Sarah's is top notch. No one wants to need someone else take care of their pets, but Sarah's is the only service I trust. My silly rescue pup loves his walker and they have built a great bond. With their help I am also making huge strides in training my guy with positive means only. I recommend them to anyone.
They are the best. They take the time to get to know your pets. They then report back and send pictures after every visit and include updates of what they did during their visit (empty litter box, filled their treat ball etc.). You schedule each visit within a 2 hour window, so your pets get to eat at the same time they are used to eating. Great easy to use app to update pet profiles, request what you want done for each visit, and pay. I have tried other sitters (friends, neighbors etc) and never quite knew what was going on, or came hours late. I will never again use anyone else. If you want peace of mind while you are away, these are the folks!
Sarah's Pet Sitting provides a great service for those of us that can’t bring our pets on travels. After each service visit I got an update on how my dog was doing (eating, drinking, bathroom, general mood and behavior) and which activities took place. It was personalized, so I knew there was a lot of genuine interaction with my dog. And it included photos of my dog being his best self. Highly impressed, much relieved, and will use again.
A++ service. I am a U.S. Army Veteran and local Police Officer. Sarah's Pet Sitting took care of my three dogs with lots of love ❤️. I will use Sarah's Pet Sitting again, they were trust worthy, professional, and truly showed they cared for my dogs. Communication on the web portal was A+ as they sent messages and pictures at every visit. Jess, Paul, and Tatiana words can't describe how satisfied I am with your professionalism. Thank You.
Staff that has been looking after our fur babies are awesome..both my babies luv each one of them. They never failed to shower my babies tender loving care. Im always at ease everytime i leave my babies with them. Thanks to Paul, Tatiana and Angelique. Kobi and Sophie luvs u sooo much!!
I am writing this as both a client and an employee. I can’t imagine trusting my dogs with anyone other than the folks at Sarah’s! When we got married, we were so thankful for Katelyn and the attention she gave our boys (who are never away from us for more than a few hours)! As a sitter myself, I absolutely love working for Sarah’s! I love every single client I work with, can’t tell you how much I love this job, and it’s the highlight of my day to be with everyone’s amazing fur-babies! I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them all sorts of love, affection, and good conversation! I know that this treatment towards pets goes for all of Sarah’s sitters too, which is why I am both a sitter and a client! The administration staff is supportive, professional, and caring for both pets and employees. As an adult with a wide experience of employment , a couple of degrees, and an array of hobbies, this is, hands down, the most enjoyable job I’ve ever had!
I’ve been using Sarah’s for almost 2yrs and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! Their staff is so sweet, the pet portal is super thorough and user friendly. They even send photos of your fur babies after every visit, which is my favorite part! I also really appreciate that, Sarah’s requires, you to meet the pet sitters in person prior to your first pet sitting. I had never used a pet sitting service so I was kinda worried about strangers watching my cats. But they have great vibes and really take care of your pets like they are their own. So happy I found them! They really make going on vacation worry free as it should be.☺️
Thanks so much to Melissa at Sarah’s Pet Sitting! She is caring and compassionate as are all the staff at Sarah’s. We know that when we are out ,our pup Thor is in very good hands!
I absolutely adore The Barking Lot. The staff is super nice and they keep the facilities super clean. I have loved picking them up and hearing how much the staff loved my dogs. The last time I picked them up, two staff members made sure to give them all the hugs and kisses goodbye. It melted my heart! I’ve boarded my two dogs there twice now and I could tell they were well taken care of. Both of my dogs are rescues, but my littlest one has a lot of trust issues and has an extended process for meeting new people in the home. I was very worried when I did a trial run prior to boarding (which they require) that they weren’t going to pass the test. If it didn’t work out, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I truly believe the staff is so well trained and understanding that they passed because the staff made my dogs feel safe and welcomed. Once my dogs feel comfortable with you, they are complete love bugs and all they want is to love on you, cuddle you, and play. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that they offer individual rooms for dogs that can’t handle being around all the other dogs and noises. And since my bigger dog is considered in a big dog group, and she’s not okay being away from my small dog, they wouldn’t be able to handle the separation plus new dogs. Like I said, my dogs are rescues and they can have a very hard time being sniffed and having other dogs in their personal bubble, especially if I’m not there with them. So not only did they get to stay together in their own private room, but they got to play with the staff in a secluded area away from the dog crowd. It’s extra touches and individual care that made their stay so comfortable and not stressful. The Barking Lot has a facebook page where they regularly put photos of your dogs up throughout the day. I could see the joy on their faces and some even with staff cuddling them. It calmed my nerves a lot while I was away. This is the first place I’ve ever boarded my dogs because I had never needed to before recently, and I’m so glad I picked them. I chose them because of the good reviews, and I can tell they are all well deserved. They will be my first choice any time I may need to travel for an extended period. Thank you so much, The Barking Lot and staff! You are so appreciated ❤️ Photos from the staff posted on Facebook from their recent stay.
We love the Barking Lot! Our little girl Ollie has the best time playing with her friends. The staff have always been kind and respectful and we feel confident dropping our baby off there. Since bringing Ollie, she has really come out of her shell. Ollie was a rescue and was a little shy at first. TBL has been patient and attentive and we couldn’t be happier!!!
These guys love my pup Little Theo as if her were family. I trust them as if they were the same, and am grateful I have them. And he Loves them and loves going! He never wants to go home and that says a lot. Their facility is immaculate and I would recommend them to anyone, and I do!
I have three goldens that literally start barking at the top of Sherman Ave because they are so excited to come to day care. This is the only sign I really need to know that they are well taken care of. I have gone to other places years ago which was not a good fit. I have never had a problem and if I have questions they message me back quickly. We have been a customer here for 6 years or so. My goldens and I give them 12 paws up!!
I bring my pup waffles a few times a week to burn off energy and get socialization, the staff is always incredibly friendly and answers any questions I have. They give updates on how his day was when I go to get him and what friends he played with. They even saved a baby tooth for me, the staff really cares about the dogs in their care and know what they are doing. I previously worked at a doggy day care where if the dogs were injured or got into tussles that were a little too rough they wouldn’t tell the owners, at the barking lot that is not the case. Waffles and one of his friends played a little too hard which they corrected and he had a little mark on his head, if they hadn’t told me I wouldn’t of even seen it, point being they are incredibly responsible and make sure all the dogs are happy and taken care of and keep the parents abreast to everything big or small ! I can’t recommend them enough and how transparent they are!
We've been bringing our dog (child) to The Barking Lot for just about a year now. This is her second favorite place to go (for day care or for overnight stays) other than a brewery. We refer to TBL as "school" and our pup loses her mind with excitement when she hears the word. When she goes to the vet or to get her nails trimmed, she will let you know she doesn't want to be there. When we get to TBL she can't wait to go inside and is immediately greeted by the friendly staff who always know her name and treat her like one of their own. I can't say enough good things about the facility, staff, and level of customer service and care. The daily photo updates on Facebook and Instagram get me through my separation anxiety when I see how much fun my dog is having and they have always been so helpful when we find our self in a bind and are running late. My dog loves it here and that is just about all that matters. There isn't much more you can say than that!
The staff at The Barking Lot is exceptional. The facility is warm and welcoming and it is Phoebe Rose's home away from home. Her sleepover was awesome and we are so lucky to have such great people take care of our baby. Thank you!!!!!!
We just love Erica and her crew! Always friendly and they did a great job grooming our dog! He was a furry mess and now look at him , he’s ready for the summer heat😊 …
So happy we found The Barking Lot. Our dog loves it so much she drags us across the parking lot to get there every morning. Great staff and a great group of dogs. Best of all she comes home nice and tired after playing all day long.
Callie absolutely loves daycare at The Barking Lot! She is a pup who is full of energy, and comes home exhausted and ready to sleep. I have a hard time getting her to come home with me! Highly recommend! 💕 Staff is professional, courteous, and friendly. It’s great knowing she’s in good hands. …
Gina is very responsible, always on time and checks in with updates. She is very reliable so I never have to worry about my girls getting great care and attention on their walks!
Gina is the best! Extremely professional, conscientious, and caring. She is by far our favorite of the many cat sitters we have used over the years. Our cats love her, and we love getting updates from Gina about how they are doing when we are away. While it's never fun to leave our fur babies, it's much easier knowing that they are in such good hands. All of which is to say, we recommend Gina unreservedly. Just make sure to book in advance because her schedule gets busy, particularly around the holidays.
NHPSC is excellent! Gina is kind, reliable, and clearly communicates. We’re so thankful that Gina cares for our kitties when we can’t!
Gina has been taking care of our cat Nico whenever we head out of town over the last 5 years and we couldn’t be happier! She makes sure that daily pet care tasks get handled, but also makes sure to spend quality time playing with and providing enrichment to Nico. She’s great about staying in touch, and sends pictures and updates when she visits each day. I couldn’t recommend her services more highly. Your pet will be in good hands!
Gina has been helping to take care of my cats for almost 2 years now. She is super communicative and professional, she understands my anxiety in leaving my cats at home by themselves and she is always sending details, beautiful photos, and updates to make sure I know what is going on and don't worry while I'm away. My shy cats love her and she even takes care of my plants while I'm away. We are so lucky to have her!
Gina is the best! She is conscientious and loving with our pets. She gives a daily update with pictures! I always feel better going out of town knowing that Gina is taking care of the cat.
Gina has watched our cat for at least six years. Very trustworthy, responsive, and her care for pets is absolute. She also has been more than happy to help with other home matters that arise while we are away. Highly recommend.
Gina cares deeply about our cat Pesto and we trust her completely to go above and beyond in taking care of him when we are away!
Gina was very professional, and we'd definitely recommend her! She was very candid and transparent up front, so we knew what we were getting, and didn't need to worry. She took great care of our cats, sending us daily updates and pictures. More than just feeding and cleaning up after our pets, she clearly cared for them and got to know them, too! Thanks, Gina!
I can't recommend New Haven Pet Sitting highly enough. Gina truly cares for pets as if they're her own. She meets them beforehand, treats them each as individuals, playing with them and cuddling, depending on their needs. I've had her come care for my two cats often this past year, and I've always had complete confidence that they're in the best hands. Last summer one of my cats became ill in my absence, and Gina took pictures and went to the ER and sat with him, conferencing with me and the vet while at the office as we decided what to do. She gave him his medication every few hours according to the doctor's specifications, and even had a friend come when she couldn't. I am tremendously grateful to have found her.
We love Paw Haven! I've been taking my pup here for over a year and I'm continuously impressed. The kind staff clearly care about all the pups and are looking out for them. Benny goes for camp a couple of days and week and I've boarded him on several occasions. He loves it and I can't imagine taking him anywhere else. They have an app to use for bookings and are overall great at communicating. 10/10 recommend!
Paw Haven has been a godsend for my high energy doggo. She walks in with excitement & walks out very tired. The staff is great! Friendly, kind, & always busting their butts to get the doggos out on time. You can really tell they love spending time with every pup! They give the best silly little updates. Would recommend over & over!
Rosie (3 year old Boston terrier) loves Paw Haven and has been going there since she was a puppy! Daycare or an overnight, Rosie can’t wait to go and always comes back a happy pup. Thanks to the Paw Haven family for taking great care of Rosie and for all the awesome pictures!!
My chocolate lab mix “Edmond” and husky “Sissy” have been going to Paw Haven (dog daycare) for at least a year now. They love the staff and the other dogs and they come home tired & happy. The facility itself is huge and beautiful and the prices are on par with or less than any doggy daycare you’d find in the area (I’ve done my research, trust me). The staff does cute activities for holidays and PH also offers grooming and boarding services which I haven’t yet used but it’s a nice option to have. Some other things I like: the facility has cameras, there is a quick response time should you have any questions and the interview/orientation process was simple and straightforward. There really aren’t many cons, the only time there was any confusion/issues was several months back when more staff was being hired and a lot of people were in training all at once (which is understandable). No issues since that brief window of time. I really love this facility and know they take good care of my favorite people - my pups.
I’ve sent my dog here several times over the past two years and have always been pleased with the experience! The staff are all very kind and my dog seems so happy when I come to pick her up. The livestream webcams are a huge plus and I love being able to check in on her watch her play while I’m away. They also periodically send photo updates of your pup during their stay. I’m moving from the area which is unfortunate because I’ve yet to have another boarding experience that rivals Paw Haven!
Paw Haven is honestly a dream come true! Our dog has a lot of energy. He needs an environment where he can burn it off in a safe capacity. He pulls my arm off when we get out of the car in the parking lot because he’s so excited to walk through the door. He loves his social time and spends all day running around, instead of sitting at home waiting for us to return. Later when he gets home he sleeps from that moment on through the ENTIRE night. Tired dogs are happy dogs and this rings true over and over again. Not to mention that we love the friendly staff, we get to “check-in” periodically to see him playing with his friends through Paw Haven’s camera system, AND at the end of every day we get a handful of adorable photos! I tell my husband all the time, daycare at Paw Haven is worth every single cent!
An exceptionally bad experience! We are traveling to the area for the holiday and when I first called I was told that they can accept our dogs for daycare after I create an account, uploade vaccine records and book a meet and greet. We did all of that, called back and was told we need to upload records of a fecal test, so I had to call my Vet in Michigan and get them to send me lab test, which I did and uploaded to their account. I called back only to be told they had not sorted out their interview policy for this week and they actually aren't accepting new dogs for daycare! I spent almost an hour and a half running around to do what they asked for after two separate calls with two separate people only to be told they weren't fully organized with their holiday week policy! How is this a business? Obviously poor operations if the management can't communicate to the employees fielding calls.
Our pups love their time at Paw Haven! When we board them, we get them a Luxury Suite that they can stay in together, and it has Live Webcams that we can use to check in on them throughout the day. We love the report cards and photo updates at the end of each night, and love the optional add-ons we can purchase to spoil the pups a little extra while we’re away.
Love this place! I know I can trust them with my pup whenever I leave him here. He always comes home so tired from a long day of play! Plus they always send me a report card of how he did that day along with pictures!! They make my day. It’s nice that they always make sure to keep you updated. The website also has a camera in the playrooms so you can check on your fur baby when you miss them. Not only that but some rooms have a camera so you can see your baby after the playroom camera goes off for the night. Really saved me and my husband when we went on vacation. I always recommend this place to my friends. Pawhaven is AMAZING. Id trust them with my real children if they took them too 😂attaching an adorable pic they took of my pup 🥹
My puppy Bruno LOVE pawhaven!!! He is staying for the week in boarding and he is so so happy there! Every time he walks in, he immediately starts jumping and barking with excitement! Absolutely bring your dog here if you need day care and/or boarding!
We love Paws and Pets! My dog Hannah always feels right at home with the staff. They have been a major help during my first year as a dog mom. I am so grateful that this facility exists!
I would like to express my appreciation for the exceptional customer service provided. The team was able to accommodate us on very short notice and demonstrated great compassion regarding our situation. I was given a tour of the facility, which was not the case at other locations I considered. They attentively listened to my concerns about my dog's leg, which had previously undergone surgery, and ensured that her food schedule and supplements were administered as instructed. I also appreciated receiving regular updates and photos whenever I reached out. Katie was fabulous, as well as the other two women at the front desk we encountered. Our dog returned home happy and healthy, and she is completely herself! We look forward to bringing her back for daycare and boarding in the future. Thank you all for your outstanding care!
Our rescue Roxy is very fearful and aggressive towards strangers. We rarely have company in our home to spare her the anxiety and to prevent guests from possibly being bitten. We were planning a family vacation down the road and weren’t certain if we would all be able to go. After many searches we decided to reach out to Paws pet resort to try out a playdate . We were waiting for that phone call every mom does not want to get from their child’s school. We held our breaths when the call came and to our surprise (and we were extremely surprised), our Roxy had the time of her life. She was such a happy girl. We’ve now booked her for our vacation week and added weekly play dates. Can’t thank Paws enough
We had to travel to SOUTHINGTON and needed a place to leave the fur babies for a few hours. This place was highly rated with great reviews and was professional and personable at the same time. They contacted us with a mid day report. They did with pics and a voicemail message. A happy dog is a tired dog and our two fur babies were pooped.
I would like to recommend Paws Pet resort for the wonderful job they did taking care of my Nutella. Her first time away from me since I had her 5 years ago. I had surgery and needed to stay overnight. This group put my worries at ease and treated her as if she were theirs. She was there 3 nights and enjoyed playtime and treats with all her caretakers. All 3 of them.Thank you so much. Your baby will be well cared for with this group. ❤️
Today was Luci’s first visit. She is 2 years old and very anxious around strangers. We are very impressed with the staff. They are all so pleasant and knowledgeable and caring. Luci spent a half day and got a 1 1/2 hour play session in the yard with other dogs her size! There are two staff in the yard with them watching out! This is great. Scheduled a full day next week. We think this will help Luci develop in important ways. Very pleased! 🐾
My pup was so happy to stay at Paws. I called them looking for a place to board my pup after not being able to find a pet sitter in my home. They were able to take Bailey practically last minute and allayed any anxiety I had about boarding her as Bailey is a very nervous dog. All staff were kind and welcoming.
Stella loves coming here! It has been consistently positive for her as she is in great spirits when I pick her up. I also love how the staff sends photos keeping us reassured that all is well. The 'report card' at the end of her stay, is unique and ❤ caring!
My dog comes home happy and playful! He loves when we pack his bag for day care or overnight, he knows where he is going and drags us out the door to get there..ALL staff helpful, friendly and Brody loves them. I feel very safe to leave my dog in the care of Paws!
Denver had the best first day at daycare, I couldn’t ask for a better place to have him stay and work out all his energy. You guys are amazing and he is so excited to come back again!
PetEx Pet Sitting was wonderful! My pets and home were well taken care of while I was away. I preferred Mary's services over others because of her personal dedication and one on one services. I no longer board my pets because of a history of them being ill for a week or so after being back home. My pets are always safer and at ease with staying home and utilizing pet sitting services. The last pet sitter I had moved out of state and I needed a new one quickly. Services that were very impersonal were irritating to me with online applications and the inability to meet all of their employees that may be entering my home and caring for my pets. Other reviews prompted me to contact PetEx so, thanks to those that also rated PetEx so highly. I understand why the reviews are great now and am confident that the next time I need pet sitting services, I will be using PetEx. Thank you Mary!!!! We arrived home to happy and healthy pups and kitty : )
Mary took excellent care of our pets when we were out of town over the holidays. She was so great with our furry babies (2 cats and 2 dogs). They loved meeting her at the meet and greet, and she was clear about what we could expect. She was great about communicating with us before, during, and after our trip, and she sent us lots of pics of our buddies. We missed them a lot, so it was great to know they were in good hands. We will definitely call her again the next time we need a pet sitter.
Mary is wonderful! She did a combo board/train with my dog Marty for a full month while I was on vacation and I was so impressed with her training and care. Marty had never been away from me that long and it was difficult for him at first, and Mary was kind and patient while she trained and cared for him. I dropped off a very anxious, stubborn dog that was ruling my home, and I picked up a happy, calm, dog that listens. I’m so appreciative of Mary and what she has done for me and Marty and would highly recommend her services!
Will definitely book with Mary again! I never left my two Boston Terriers with anyone… well I did once years ago and came home to sick dogs! We booked a family vacation and I had to find someone to watch my fur babies. We booked a sitter to move into my home for 7 nights, we also booked a kennel that was highly reputable, but I just wasn’t feeling good about either. Then I saw Mary’s website and reached out to her . She came to my home to visit us and meet my dogs, went over all the paperwork and explained her methods. Mary is very professional, super nice and very sincere and definitely knows a lot about dog behavior and needs. She sent pics and updates daily and when we brought them home they were healthy and happy ! I highly recommend Mary and will be booking her again in the spring !
We were so happy we found Mary to be our dog walker! Mary is so dependable and responsible she is always on time and she communicates with us with pictures and texts on how things are going. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone who loves there pets ! Our dog loves Mary too!
Mary is a very dedicated and responsible individual who demonstrates caring and expertise while caring for our pet. Mary is flexible and is always willing to support what is best for our pet’s needs and schedule. She provides us with frequent updates on our pet while he is in her care. We are very pleased with the pet care services we have received.
Mary from PetEx is amazing. She took care of my cat Autumn while I was on vacation. We met beforehand to discuss Autumn’s needs and she was very thorough. She texted me daily pictures and updated me. I felt very confident with Mary and highly recommend her. If you want a reliable & exceptional pet sitter Mary is the one for you.
Mary is phenomenal with our German Shepherd and Pekingese mix. She has built such a strong rapport with both of them and can tell they really love her. Both of them get lots of playtime, walks, training, and quality time together with her. Feel much better leaving them at home while at work knowing she’s coming over to take care of them. Would highly recommend her.
I recently found myself needing to board my special needs dog so that I could travel to the west coast for my granddaughter's graduation from high school. Bree (my schnauzer) is a rescue that has some behavioral issues. She is very fearful and hasn't been out of my sight in four years so I wasn't sure how she would react in unfamiliar surroundings. After discussing this with Mary in our initial meeting we decided to do a trial for one night to see how she reacts. Well as it turns out she was fine! Mary has a way about her with dogs that put my concerns to rest. Bree stayed with Mary for almost two weeks during which Mary sent me pictures and texts to keep me updated on how Bree was doing. She provided my wife and I the peace of mind that we needed to enjoy out vacation. Thank you Mary for taking care of our baby! Looking forward to the next time.
Mary (PetEx) is a pet lover so loves being with and taking care of pets! We feel good about leaving our one year old black Lab mix, Otis, with her when we’re away rather than boarding him in a kennel where he’d spend at least 12 hours alone in a crate!! ☹️ Otis likes Mary (he thinks she’s a big toy 😂) and likes playing with the other dogs she watches when he’s there. (No more than 5 at a time, but most often less). We highly recommend Mary and PetEx!
Rich walked our dog for about a year while we lived in Hamden. He was great - friendly, reliable, flexible and our dog really loved him!
Rich watched my dog for the weekend while I had to go away to a wedding. She loved him! Will use him again.
Erica has been caring for my pup Cleo for over two years now and is just the best. She's reliable, professional, and goes above and beyond to try and accommodate even last-minute requests. Erica is very attentive and always lets me know if something seems off with my dog (stomach issues, etc.). She also gives recommendations without being asked, which I appreciate given her extensive expertise. Cleo absolutely loves her too!
Erica is fantastic and a life saver! We were fortunate to recently adopt a 2 1/2 year old bulldog, Maisie. She had been in a shelter for over six months, so she is still a bit skittish around new people. Maisie has adjusted well in our home, but we had two long planned trips that we hadn't thought about, that's when Erica saved the day! She was able to come to our home and care for Maisie while we were away. Maisie loves her walks with Erica! Knowing Erica was taking good care of her reduced our anxiety about being away for Maisie.
My dogs have unique care requirements. Erica didn't miss a beat and took wonderful care of our two dogs. We will continue to use them for every vacation. Editing to update post. Erica continues to provide wonderful care for our two Jack Russells.
Erica did a fantastic job caring for our cats. The best part was being able to see photos and news of them on her Facebook page. Especially appreciated her being available on holidays and on short notice. Will definitely be a repeat customer!
Erica is amazing and I’m so glad I found her! She takes such good care of our boy Baxter. We have had Bax there for day care and more recently for overnights and for the first time I am not worried about him while we are away! She posts pics and sends updates which we love and he gets so excited when we pull down the street. That is the ultimate test and compliment in my eyes. He truly loves being there. We would definitely recommend Erica and we are already repeat customers. There is no one else I trust to watch our boy more than her!!
Erica is a wonderful pet sitter! She takes excellent care of our two kitties, who hate to leave the house so Erica visits them in our home. One of our kitties is very social and the other is very shy, and Erica makes extra effort to connect with the shy kitty, being sure to leave treats and catnip where she will get them. She sends pictures (and sometimes video) of both kitties, and checks in regularly by text to let us know she’s been in and how the kitties are doing. Erica has been caring for our kitties for about a year and we feel totally at ease knowing they are under her care while we’re away. We are so glad to have found her!
This was the first time we ever left the care of our 3 cats to a “stranger”. Erica came over, met all of us, took notes, and was friendly, yet professional. Two of our cats require medication, one of which is medicated every 12 hours and is clever at hiding. This was no problem for Erica! Erica was great at keeping in touch with me over the week sending photos & updates. She also responded quickly to my texts with questions & changes. Upon return our home felt normal, as if we never left. Although there was some grumbling amongst the felines inquiring as to what I did with Erica! Cats! 😺
I'm so happy that we used Scratch 'N Sniff while we went away on vacation. Our dog has a lot of anxiety and taking him with us wasn't an option for this trip. Erica was super accommodating. She was able to make visits to our house so Rocky would be comfortable in his normal environment. She was able to give him his medication, which typically is difficult with him. We were given frequent updates and pictures to make sure we were at ease and knew he was doing well. She even brought in our mail and watered our flowers for us. We will definitely be using this pet service for any trips we take in the future.
Erica does a phenomenal job with your family's pets! We know that when our pup needs somewhere to go that Erica is reliable, professional, and provides high quality service. We never worry about our dog when she is in Erica's care...she is treated like a member of the family. We love that our dog loves going there to see her friends. We HIGHLY recommend Scratch 'N Sniff!
Recently got married and needed someone to watch our dog Blue for a few days, Erica is always the first to pop in mind! Her professionalism and great care for our pup is unmatched! She constantly posts pictures during his stay on her facebook page and keeps us updated with texts. Highly recommend and will use again and again
