Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Kristen took such great care of Mia while I was away for the weekend! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Mia would love to stay with her again!

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!
Lindsay C
It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Christi B

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Lincoln St
If you and your pooch are looking to get back to nature, why not strap on your hiking boots, leash up your pup, and head across the New Haven River to Bristol Falls? If your pooch likes to swim, then this spot is a real mutts-visit -- your fur baby is sure to have a whale of a time splashing about in the swimming hole. Though the path up to the falls from the parking lot on Lincoln Street is a short one, you two will find some longer trails to sniff and explore by the river and around Bristol Cliffs.36
Downtown Bristol
Cultured canines might get a kick out of wandering around historic Downtown Bristol, but this gorgeous neighborhood isn’t just a feast for the eyes -- it’s a haven for doggy diners, too! For breakfast, try Snap’s Cafe -- their corned beef hash is excellent comfort food, and they cater to canines outside. In the mood for a beer and a burger? Check out the furrific Bobcat Cafe and Brewery, where wagging tails are welcome at their outdoor tables. Be sure to try the venison meatloaf! Afterward, you two can burn it all off with a short, leashed walk around the well-maintained Village Green.

South Ridge
No bones about it, the tiny town of Middlebury is a fantastically fur-friendly place! Just a twenty-minute drive from Bristol, Middlebury is home to the amazing Middlebury Dog Park. At two acres, the park might not be the largest, but there’s still plenty of room for even the most rambunctious furball to leap about and tire themselves out in. Bags and water are provided, but there’s no separate small dog area, so be mindful of your pup’s temperament. Not only that, but Middlebury’s South Ridge neighbourhood also boasts a small wooded trail system around the middle school.12
Lake Dunmore
Branbury State Park might not be the largest preserve in the area, but it’d still be a huge faux paw not to visit! The park sits pretty on the shores of Lake Dunmore, and even has a small beach -- unfortunately, though, pets aren’t allowed on the shoreline. Branbury State Park is ideal for fitter furry friends and owners looking for a challenge. Both the Mt. Massaloo and Rattlesnake Cliff trails feature inclines that vary from the steep to the truly punishing, and reward the persistent with fabulous views over the lake. If you’re out of breath just thinking about it, don’t worry -- the trail to Fala Falls is less taxing.
East Shelburne Bay
Shelburne’s East Shelburne Bay neighborhood is a real mutts-visit for pooches and their people! It’s home to the fantastic Shelburne Village Dog Park, a magical experience for you and your labracadabrador! The off-leash area isn’t the largest, but there’s still enough space for your furball to run around and burn off their excess energy. There’s a separate small dog area too, so your pooch can play and socialize no matter their size, and bags are and water are provided. Afterward, why not stop for a pick-me-up at Village Wine and Coffee? Their wood-fire roasted espresso is wonderful, and your pooch can join you outdoors.
