Dog Sitters in New Britain, CT

Look elsewhere. The guy, Tim, was arrogant, thinks he knows your dog better than you do and puts on a good front to get your business. He does what he wants and ignores any instructions left as reference. We aren't even sure if our dog ate as we had asked or if Tim even showed up as scheduled. The long walks he promised, didn't happen. A neighbor said he saw his interaction with our dog and was surprised that we trusted this guy with our pet. Unfortunately pets can't talk so we rely on others to be truthful. It's Unsettling to find out we left out pet in his care and what we were told, did not happen. Susan, the owner, Is delightful, and from another clients input, she is good with the pets, but for some reason, we ended up with him instead.

My cats totally love Susan! She walks in the door and even my most skittish one comes out, tail held high waiting to be stroked. Critter Sitters is a natural for pets and whenever we go away for a few days we know our cats will be cared for as well as we care for them by someone who genuinely brings out the best in all animals. I unhesitatingly recommend Critter Sitters of Newington!

Tim and Susan are wonderful pet sitters! They truly go above and beyond when caring for your pets and home. They treat them both with care as if they were their own.

Very nice pet sitting service that is very trustworthy and caring for our cats. They are reliable and the prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend.

Awesome owners and experience using their services. They are reasonably priced and very accommodating with our variety of pets and their individual needs.

Love them

Amazing experience for any dog like mine they get taken care of very well. Get lots of pets, get good walks, and overall enjoy their stay! My cute little dog, pichi, was so excited and happy to stay at this place every time I needed to go to work. I would definitely recommend😊 …

Awesome service. I recommend this place. Home environment.

Had All IV Paws come out to my home today to trim my senior Golden Retriever’s nails. Sasha was right on time, so friendly & super quick! Murphy’s nails look great — & he was so happy to make a new friend! ❤️🐾 …

I have been using this company to groom my cat for over a year now. Everyone that has come to my home have been professional and you can tell that they truly care about animals and they do a great job!

Pat and his team are great. Allison is always there for our Mae. You can’t beat when the also provide trimming her nails as a service. One less trip to the vet. Thanks again.

Hands down, BEST service I’ve ever had. My pup Poppy is a handful and needs a little extra patience when it comes to nail trims. Every one of the techs who’ve come have been so knowledgeable and kind and absolutely wonderful I can not recommend them more. They always respond in a timely manner and call if they ever run late (which isn’t often) it’s also incredibly easy to make appointments which for a busy person just is a cherry on top.

My cat Oscar has severe fear of dogs think he was attacked by one.Making it difficult to bring him in to grooming places I had Holly come to house to do his nails this morning. She was fabulous and was so marvelous with Oscar. Nails got done with ease and no freaking out on Oscar's part. Thank you Holly

Awesome service! It’s amazing that they come to your house. Scheduling was easy and Tina was so kind, knowledgeable, and loving to our pets who hate getting their nails trimmed. We appreciate her help!

Thank you Holly for trimming Oscar's nails. Oscar is not a fan of having his nails done and Holly is so good with my cat. Would and do reccomend Holly and this business. .

I heard about the nail trim service and decided it was worth a try. Our dog Chloe would get so nervous going to the groomer to have it done. Jenna came on time and made friends with her. She stayed pretty calm throughout the nail trim and it was done in no time. Totally worth the cost to have an at home service with friendly, efficient staff. We will be using their nail trim service again.

All IV Paws Pet Care LLC is where it's at! I have 4 dogs and it's so much easier for someone to come to us than to hassle around and bring all of my dogs somewhere for nail trims. They all have different personalities and two of them are seniors. I have used them twice already for nail trims and they are very responsive and punctual. Can't beat their prices either because them coming to us is very convenient and hassle free. They are wonderful with my dogs. If I were you, book an appt. with All IV Paws Pet Care LLC today!! I 100% recommend! You won't regret it. Easy online payments too!

Allison and Jessica were extremely professional, punctual, kind and very accommodating! Im so happy that my vet recommended this company to me! I also will be recommending them to all I know! I look forward to doing business with them in the near future! 5 stars was not enough to give.. I rate the a 10 and above.. Thank you again girls..see you soon 💕💕

My dog loves the place. She sprints to the front door as soon as she gets out of the car. Very friendly staff that takes good care of our hound. The added bonus is she sleeps for a full next day because she is so tired from playing. In addition, the dog taxi service if I get stuck at work and overnight dog care from Mike Murphy has been an added convenience that makes going away much more relaxing knowing our dog is in good hands

Great people. Nice place. Great price. The only problem is that my dog ended up with abrasions on her paw. I had her veterinary check her paws, and they said it is from running on a hard surface like cement or concrete. Like I said, they are great.

Highly recommend!! Our lunatic Luna LOVES going to see her buddies at Paw Play, both the dogs & the humans! :). She's been going multiple times a week for over 2 years now

Paw play is amazing! Our boy Gus has gone 3 times and everyone is always so wonderful! He is loving his spa days! Thank you for treating him so good! 10/10 ⭐️ We recommend for sure!

These guys do a great job! Each morning the staff is super happy and energetic when we bring our French Mastiff Gordon in each morning. Very fair prices all the way down the line and they provide lots of services...like grooming and even a doggie taxi. Good job A+!

I have been sending my dogs to Paw Play for many years. Jenn has always been amazing with her support and assistance. Mike can always be counted on with a moment’s notice. My dog loves Devin and Jena and Michelle so much as well as all the staff that I never have any worries when I bring her there. Most days when I pick her up she wants to stay because she is having so much fun! I would (and have) recommend them to anyone!! Such a great place!!

River and Griff have been going to Paw Play weekly for a number of years! The owners and staff members are extremely friendly and caring. River and Griff have learned a lot of social skills and get along better with other dogs because of this experience. Our dogs are always excited to go and tired when we pick them up! Just the way we like it! We also appreciate all of the photos they post! It's exciting to see what our pups are doing while away from home.

We have been going to Paw Play for years.. First started with grooming, which Melissa always does a great job,her and her staff are great with the dogs... we also have used the Mike to come and let our dogs out during day as well as taxi service to day care and to stay with our dogs while on Vacations.. our dogs love him and so do we!! What can I say about the day care.. our dogs love to go!! Jenn and all her her staff are awesome!! The “kids”, as referred to,have a great time and come home tired... We would be lost without them, Great Place.

Our 3 fur-kids LOVE Paw Play !!! We have been using their services for almost years . Daycare, pet taxi, pet sitting, and groomers ....we use all of these services and couldn't imagine trusting anyone else. Mike Murphy and Sara Oaks have both provided at home pet sitting and knowing they are with our babies allows us to have a stress free vacation, whether it is for just a weekend or 10 days they definitely keep our doggies happy !! Pet Taxi is perfect if they are at daycare and you are working late or going away for the day . You can feel at ease knowing your fur baby will be brought home safe and sound . Spa day !!!! Sara and Melissa always make sure the kids not only smell fantastic but that they also feel safe and enjoy bath time !!!! All the staff at Paw Play really care about all the dogs in their care . We HIGHLY recommend them !!!!!

I do not know what I would do without Paw Play! Over close to 15 years, I’ve never been disappointed! And, now that they provide training classes, taxi, pet sitting, and home visiting services in addition to daycare and grooming, it’s everything I need. The entire staff is 100% focused on what’s best for my dog. Jen, Mike, Jena, and John have all pet sitted for me. Their flexibility and willingness to help are priceless. It gives me great peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. I can’t say enough good things about Paw Play! If my dog could write a review, he would probably say he prefers Paw Play to home!

I recently had Humble Hounds take care of my two pups while I was away on vacation, and I was super impressed! One of them is diabetic, so I was a bit nervous, but Niki was amazing! She sent lots of updates and photos, which really put me at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I'll definitely be reaching out again next time I need someone to watch my dogs. Highly recommend Humble Hounds!

Niki dog sits for us and she’s great with our shy/nervous rescue dogs. Shes very patient and very good with them. She was really invested in getting to know our dogs and have them be comfortable with her. She is easy to work with and you can trust her in your home. She’s a kind person who understands what our dogs need. We highly recommend her services.

First off Niki is a literal angel. We used Niki/Humble Hounds for our wedding to care for and bring our pup Bellini to our wedding venue for photos and over night boarding. Niki was so professional, on time, and helped us to feel so comfortable from the start as this was Bellini’s first overnight without us. She was a wonderful wedding attendant and I would recommend her to anyone. She even took the time to send photo updates and create a custom wedding gift from our pup. We will absolutely be using Humble Hounds again! Thank you so much❤️

Niki was absolutely phenomenal with watching our dog, Coco for 2 separate family vacations we had planned. Niki goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of! It was a great feeling to know that Coco felt more than comfortable to be there. We loved getting the daily pictures as well! Highly, highly recommend Humble Hounds!!

I cannot say enough about Humble Hounds! I am so happy I was recommended to use their services. I definitely do not regret a thing! I was so hesitant at first. I am one to never ask for help. I recently went from one dog to two. Phew! Not easy but wouldn’t change it for the world. Now that I have humble hounds to help out. it has been truly helpful. To know I found someone that is trustworthy, reliable, respectful, kind, friendly and more! All great things. It is so easy to use their app! They communicate very well. Even deal with more my anxiety than the dogs. So far I have never had any issues. Thank you Niki and Madi for taking such great care of my fur babies. So far I use them for the 30 min drop in visits and quick drop in visit. Humble hounds really take the stress out of knowing the dogs are in great hands. Get to go out, eat, ect and are not alone all day. Madi and Nicki stay the whole 30 min every time and send me pictures and an update on the visit. Very respectful and friendly! . It is such a relief to know pepper and Maci are in great hands! Especially with their high energy! They even give them cuddles and talk to them which is Awesome! Thank you Humble Hounds!!i am very grateful to have you! And I give you five stars and definitely recommend you to everyone and anyone looking !

Niki was amazing! She took care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats while I was out of town. All my animals loved her, she took such good care of them. She was great communicating when she was on her way and always sent updates and pictures. I will definitely continue to book her for future pet care needs

Niki and Jayda at Humble Hounds are a perfect fit for me, always timely and with the energy to match my growing puppy! Although he still enjoys breaks in the shade, his ability to have productive walks has improved tremendously thanks to Jayda's dedication and encouraging demeanor. I really like the visit summary text messages, complete with pictures, including a map of their "journey". I'm comforted to have such trustworthy help available locally!

I needed a dog sitter for the week of July 4th and even though I asked about 3 weeks before, Nikki found the time to schedule me in. We have a regular dog sitter so I was hesitant to use any one else because we love her so much! Kareena was our sitter through HH and she was AMAZING! She sent reports and pictures of my sweet happy pups at every visit. She was very patient with my little guy being only 7 months old crate training but still having some accidents. I can’t say enough about HH and the comfort I felt leaving my boys after day 1. I will 100% use them again and also refer my friends to them. Thank you again Kareena and Humble Hounds (Nikki) for your kindness, flexibility, and patience! Lots of love Diesel and Waffles 🖤🩶

We were very happy that Humble Hounds was available to watch our dogs while we took summer vacation. Niki kept us up to date with daily photos, videos, and updates and we knew our dogs were in good, caring hands. We will definitely use them again!

I am sooo beyond happy with the service I get everything I use this company!! I feel like I won the lottery when I found them. I feel 100 percent comfortable knowing my babies are soo well cared for!! And on top of all that, the prices are more than reasonable as well!!! Best pet service in the whole world!! Thank you Niki!!!!

My dogs love Ann and love playing with Ann's dogs. They get top notch care. Set up a meeting and check her out. You will be happy you did.

Ann has been watching my senior dog for years. She is the best. My dog loves going to Ann's house!

Bark is truly the place to go with your pups! One of my dogs has a ton of energy and always comes home exhausted from daycare or when we board him. Our other dog has stomach issues as well as high anxiety and requires medication and watching over. The staff at Bark do an amazing job of making sure he is well cared for and gets whatever medicines he may need. They truly get to know your dog. They are great at communicating with us and sending photos of our dogs having a great time. We recommend Bark to anyone we know with dogs with absolute confidence.

The staff are the best. They love dogs and really make sure each one is comfortable and happy. They truly care. The outdoor daycare section is very nice with different obstacles and water sections.

Took such great care of our Sadie while we were away! Highly highly recommend. Thank you so much Alexa, Carlei and crew!!

We couldn’t be happier with our first boarding experience here. Our dogs loved the staff and daily walks around the pond. They treat the dogs like their own. They keep the facility clean and have made many upgrades and renovations since buying the facility from a previous owner. Our dogs came home happy and with no issues. Our new boarding place in Berlin, close to Home, with great people.

Everyone is very nice that works there. My dog Ursula loves them all very much. You can feel that your pet is well taken care of and accident free. We are both very happy with Bark Resort & Daycare!!! Ursula & Joyce Smalling,

We LOVE bark! Every time we bring our puppy here for boarding she is so so excited to go inside. The staff is kind and very professional. The facility is beautiful! I’d recommend bark to anyone looking for a great place to board their furry family members.

First time using Bark Resort and I was honestly nervous as the kennel we usually board at was full. Staff at Bark Resort was very friendly, and our furry family member Freckles came home happy. The walks included in the nightly rate are a great added bonus. I did bring him for a half day of daycare in advance so he knew the scent when we brought him to board. Thank you to all their staff. Would highly recommend and I would use again. People there are wonderful.

I use their services weekly to give my active puppy a place to play. I have also boarded Clyde with them and they are the best! From Louis and Carlei, Hannah, Michelle, Rosie, and Sam to Jasmine at the front desk, you can tell they love your pet too! The whole staff is excellent! I never worry that he will be well taken care of!

Milo had a great week there. Staff is very friendly. Lots of upgrades coming! We will definitely be return customers!

Do not bring your dog here. I brought my dog here and it looks Ike he got the mange when I picked him up after just week

Tony and the Gang at What a Ruff life are such a great crew. Always friendly, welcoming, and they always have time and room for my Arty. I've used other daycares in the past that kept him in a kennel and I had to pay extra for him to be exercised. This place has him running all day! I'm so thankful for these guys because they have helped us out in last minute emergencies and they are always so kind!

We were very nervous to leave our Boston terrier because the play room is full of big dogs (even Rotties), and she's very little. The staff is excellent and there were so many people around when she was being introduced (even holding her), that we were quickly put at ease. At intake they check to see how the dog reacts to socialization with other dogs before letting them go into the big play room with the group. My dog is so happy to go here she starts losing it when we pull into the parking lot. I highly recommend.

My Lokie absolutely loves What a Ruff Life. He had his bath and grooming there and he looks AMAZING!! He is perfectly trimmed and smells wonderful. Awesome place and so much fun.

This is a great place where you can feel at ease when leaving your dog. Our dog was 7 months when we brought her. It was a great experience for her after not being socialized by her prior owners and also helped with her puppy biting. Highly recommended 😊 …

I've brought my dog to a few different daycares, but only bought a 20 full day pack to this one because he comes back clean and happy from this one. I've always been icked out by scenarios where I'm not directly observing my dog in case of injury and fear of having to give my very fluffy dog another bath. What a Ruff Life has exceeded my expectations with how clean my dog comes back and yet so tired and satisfied. This is a small business operated by Newington locals and I love being able to show my support and get my dog a great time twice a week. After a month of going, still no weird scratches or unexplained scrapes, so I'm pretty satisfied.

We have been using Ruff Life for 2 years now. Always the nicest people, our dogs love them so much and look forward to going to "school". They take amazing care of our pups and we could not be happier to continue supporting them!

Took my dog for a grooming and I could not be happier than how Jenn took care of my little separation based anxious cavapoo. This was the best cut he's ever had and he came out super happy and smelling great and feeling soooooo soft... In sum, this place has the best, nicest, most patient, and most understanding groomer in Jenn and the same goes to the staff (shout-out to Diane) The little guy left with a cute bandana to top it all off and he was proud to show it to everyone...and he does not want too take it off and so we'll keep it on if nothing else than to remind us of the great spa day he recently had at What a Ruff Life in Newington, CT!

Very happy with the facility and the staff are attentive and care about the dogs. I have two big dogs and there is plenty of space for them to run around, it's clean and well maintained. A special shout-out to the staff who are fantastic !

Our family recently was in a position to find a lodging facility for our dog for a several night stay. We were very hesitant and nervous as she has never been away from us. The services we received from Whatarufflife far exceeded our expectations. They made drop off and pick easy. We found the facility to be clean and accommodations to be a wonderful setting for our dog. Staff was warm and welcoming and we got the feeling that they were dog people, who love what they do. She was loved and cared for and we would highly recommend Whatarufflife to anyone.

Recently, I boarded my two shih tzus for 9 days at this establishment and was skeptical since my dog hadn’t ever been previously boarded. They exceeded my expectations in how well my dogs were cared for. They have very teary eyes and they need daily cleaning, in addition to one of my dogs also having Addison’s disease and some allergies. Meena, Tony and the other staff were very attentive to my dog’s needs. I highly recommend them!!!

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!

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!

David's Pet Service is reliable, flexible and so very caring. Each time they visit a detailed personalized note is left with pictures. So very grateful for finding the best care for our Lexi

We have been using David’s Pet Services for many many years! We hired David and his team with our cats for when we went on vacation. We looked forward to our daily updates which always included sweet photos of our babies and often some funny ones thrown in there too. It was always obvious that whomever stopped by enjoyed their job and loved our cats. When we decided to get a puppy earlier this year, I contacted David for his dog walking services even before the puppy arrived! He was excited to work with us again and sad to hear about the passing of our cats. It was a huge stress relief to know that David would be on our puppy raising team and available so I wouldn’t be in “puppy prison”! I also love the ease of the app which wasn’t available back when we had our cats. I fully trust him and his team in our home and I know that in a pinch he will do his best always to help us out. He responds right away to requests, which I seriously appreciate! To say the least, I highly recommend David’s Pet Services without reservation! Photos courtesy of our awesome dog walkers!

I'll cut to the chase because who has time for fluff when we’re talking about our fur babies? I am a person with ridiculously high standards—and I mean ridiculously—and DPS managed to not just meet them but blow them completely out of the water! I’m a textbook Type A when it comes to my dog. She’s been my ride-or-die since she was 8 weeks old and is, quite frankly, the center of my universe. Together, we’ve navigated life’s ups, downs, and sideways moments, and let’s just say, I don’t entrust her care to just anyone. So, when I thought I was moving to West Hartford, I knew exactly who to call: the legends at DPS. Fun fact: I used to run a pet care business myself, so I know a thing or two (or a hundred) about what separates the pros from the amateurs. Enter: David. We connected online, because, you know, millennial networking (aka sliding into each other’s professional DMs). While I had to shut my business down during the pandemic, my impossibly high pet care standards stuck around. I know what to look for, what to avoid, and I don’t mess around. Let me tell you—DPS’s onboarding process was an absolute masterpiece. It started with a phone call from none other than THE David himself. He listened attentively, communicated clearly (no corporate robot vibes here!), and was all-around the kind of nice guy you’d actually want to grab a coffee with. His team had me set up in their portal and ready to rock in no time. Now, here’s the kicker—I didn’t actually get to use DPS services because my move to West Hartford fell through. (Cue the tiny violin.) But based on the red-carpet treatment I received just during onboarding, I have zero doubt my girl would’ve been treated like the queen she is. Honestly, if I had used their services, I might’ve worried she wouldn’t want to come back home with me after being so spoiled. In short: DPS is the real deal. If you’re even thinking about hiring them, just do it. Your pet deserves the best, and these folks deliver.

I've been with David's Pet Services from the beginning and he and his team have never let me down. He cared for, walked, fed my golden doodle Rags for much of her life, and she loved seeing them. Lately, due to a health emergency, I needed them to walk my sister's dog, feed her, and feed my cat and they stepped right in, even thought it had been years since we communicated. I always feel secure about the needs of our pets being met with love and a lot of ear and back scratches! They send pictures after every visit and give a report on how the walk, feeding, whatever (even poops!) went. I have the highest regard and trust David's Pet Services employees who come into my house to take care of the cat as does my sister for her dog when I can't be there! Hire them, you won't be sorry. Pics below are all from DPS!

David’s Pet Service offers fantastic communication and thoughtful service. I recently moved to the area and was hoping to book overnights. Prior to contacting David’s Pet Service, I checked neighborhood Facebook pages and contacted a different dog walking/sitting company. I filled out that company’s digital forms and then sent a note explaining my situation, my coverage needs and my dog’s quirks. I didn’t hear back so I reached out to check in and they asked that I send my note through a different method on their app. I did that and when I didn’t hear back again, I reached out and they asked again that I send my note through the different method. I responded that I had sent it through all the methods and then didn’t hear back again for weeks. By contrast, I left David’s a voicemail, he texted the following day with a time he’d reach out, and then we had an open conversation about the booking. While David worked to schedule the booking he kept in touch and followed through. I absolutely love most technological advancements, but when it comes to my family - including my dog and especially with overnights - communication is so important. I will definitely be calling David’s Pet Service again.

I was hesitant to use any service as my dog is a bit of a jerk to put it mildly. His dog walker was so patient in getting to know him. They're complete bffs now. My dog is ALWAYS soooo happy when it's dog walking day. You can see from the pictures my walker provides when they're out, how happy my little dude is. I love the "status reports" the service provides. They're so cute. It shows time start, time done, route of walk, pics, and even if my guy did #1 and/or #2!! I will continue to use David's Pet Services and can't recommend them enough!!

David’s Pet Services have been a fantastic addition to our dog’s daily routine. The entire team has taken the time to get to know our pup, and he eagerly looks forward to his visits with each walker. David truly goes above and beyond to ensure that the entire process is seamless and stress-free. Rory enjoys the extra time outside, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such great hands. Highly recommend!

Davids Pet Services are my new “Go To” second family for my fur babies. With us liking to travel more and when we have important long day events, I now know I can trust Davids Team with our two dogs without worrying and just enjoy our trip and life celebrations! I live my pets but there are days when we need to be away and we don’t want our babies to be alone and uncomfortable so we book Davids Pet Service!

I had a great experience with DPS. They were responsive, followed instructions, and my dog was very happy with them. Which means I’m happy with them. Highly recommend.

We have been using David’s Pet Services for a little over six months and have been so impressed! Every walker is so nice and attentive to our three year old golden retriever. They have worked with us to reinforce good walking habits with him. He looks forward to his weekly walks! Their scheduling system is fantastic; it’s so nice to be able to go on there and add an additional walk or two when Baxter needs it. Overall we’ve had a wonderful experience!
