*Woof!* I'm Joshua and I just said 'Hello!' in dog speak. I've been told I'm a good human and often get wet nose kisses in recognition of a job well done. Dogs are simply amazing and I absolutely love them. I appreciate dogs of all sizes and breeds, but big playful pups are my favorite. When caring for your dog, you can rest assured that your fur baby is in the good hands of a trustworthy human who is as loving to your four-legged friend as you are. Your pup is always priority #1!

I have grown up around all kinds of animals especially dogs both big and small. I currently love and care for a sweet little chihuahua/doxen mix and hope to adopt a larger dog as well. I am very interested in using canine behavior and body language to understand how they feel so I provide the best care possible.

I have had dogs my entire life; I currently have 2 chocolate labs. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years around my neighborhood. My experience includes being a member of Kids for Paws, an organization that raised money to donate to animal shelters, military dogs, and guide dogs. I was also a volunteer at the SPCA while I was in college. I am great with everyone from high-energy puppies that love to play to older dogs who just love to snuggle. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends!

Hello, my name is Donna. I’m Marleys mom.... I love dogs and wish I could have more then one! But my Marley isn’t too friendly and doesn’t like to share my attention... so instead I have decided to surround myself with your fur-babies! I love all dogs like they are my own and enjoy walking playing and interacting with them. I can do drop in visits, potty breaks, walks, play dates, feeding. Etc...

I grew up with dogs on our horse farm & pet sat through college. I was a vet tech, dog groomer & kennel manager for 8 years at a vet before starting my own business so I can do various medical treatments, meds, etc. I have 2 large dogs- Griffey a humane society pup and Monty a golden retriever.

Dog Walking in Rocky Hill
Situated along the banks of the Connecticut River, Rocky Hill is just eight miles south of the capital city of Hartford. Rocky Hill has one animal hospital to keep your canine companion in good shape while you're in town.
Puppers who are up for an outdoor adventure will have a barking good time at Quarry Park. Located on a former trap rock quarry, this 84-acre park is now home to an easy trail system that is suitable for all skill levels and is accessible all year round. Beautiful views of Hartford, Glastonbury, and the Connecticut River will greet you and your dog along the way.
Another spot that both you and Fido will enjoy is the Dinosaur State Park, a dinosaur-themed park that celebrates the Connecticut Valley's long history of fossil track discoveries. The park sits on the site where hundreds of tracks were uncovered in 1966. Fido is welcome to explore the park grounds but is not permitted on the nature trails or in the Exhibit Center.
If you need to spend a few days in Rocky Hill, check into the pup-friendly Sheraton Hartford South Hotel, which allows two pets of any size for no extra fee. They'll even provide Fido with bowls and a doggie bed, so make yourselves at home!
Visit Rocky Hill with your pooch today!
