Everyone that works for them including the owner is fantastic. They let them out, feed them and even give them medication. When we go on long trips they always send text message updates and sent pics of our fur babies. I would highly recommend them especially if your pets don't do well at the kennel. We know when we are away our animals are well taken care ok.

I was looking to get away for a long weekend without burdening a friend and asking someone to stop…read moreby and feed and walk my dog (Bailey) 3 times a day when my mom had an idea. My mother has had Linda take care of her cat at home for over eight years, whenever my mother is out of town for more than a day. Linda was recommended by a Glastonbury veterinarian and has had a key to mom's house, watered plants, taken in mail and newspapers, lets the cat in and out, and of course feeds him and checks the litter box for a per visit fee. My mom noticed that Linda's website said she now boards some dogs in her home for a daily (or half-day, if that's all you need) rate. My mom got me in touch with Linda who requested I bring my little chihuahua over several days before my trip so that they could meet and I could see the arrangements and make sure I didn't have any concerns or questions left unanswered. Linda has a great big fenced in yard for the dogs to play and exercise in, and lots of crates, gates and blankets so that all you need to provide is food (and treats if you'd like). Everything went well, the three other dogs that were at the house when I arrived (only one lives there) were all let outside so that Bailey could walk in and get comfortable without the distraction of the other dogs wanting to play. I also completed a form while visiting about things such as what kind of food I use, how much food and exercise Bailey gets daily, and who the vet is and if certain vaccines were up to date. I warned that Bailey has refused to eat once or twice when I was gone and Linda said she's dealt with similar situations before and has always found a way to get them to eat, even if it means cooking them eggs (right, she also asked about any food allergies in case it came to that)! Well I went on my trip and got a picture of Bailey texted to me the next day, then another picture her second day there of Bailey stretched out on Linda's lap outside enjoying the fire pit (the same way Bailey lays on my lap nightly on the couch). I texted at one point to make sure Bailey was eating and Linda said she did have to hand-feed her sometimes but she did get her to eat (and she was fed away from the other dogs, in her own space). It was a great experience and I will definitely be using this service again and recommend it for anyone that needs their dog boarded. Also, keep in mind that other places that board dogs (in kennels) are businesses with employees that leave early in the evening and don't return until morning, so there could be 12 (YES TWELVE) consecutive hours that no one is there to let the animals out to relieve themselves, that is not the kind of attention, or lack thereof, the animals receive in Linda's home where people are there throughout the night. Linda and Jack were great and you can tell they truly are animal lovers.

We also had a boy dog who needed eye drops in the middle of the day. I told Shannon from our first meeting that Twinkie was my girl and she needed to take good care of her.

I'm so grateful to have Shannon each day with our dogs. She was especially helpful with our new puppy who was very hyper! Shannon was so calm and patient with her. I highly recommend Shannon!!

The service we received from the people at Home Sweet Home (HSH) Pet Care went above and beyond our expectations. The people who operate this family owned business are both extremely professional and very down to earth. To start, the owners came to our house for a free consultation to meet us and meet our cat, to establish a level of comfort and make sure all the logistics would be fine. We really appreciated the time they took to come meet our pet and us before the first visit. We loved the fact that upon each home visit, we got a personalized e-mail as well as a picture of our little guy! It gave us a great level of comfort that not only was our cat getting what he needed but that the people looking after him actually cared. When we returned, our pet area was cleaner than when we left and we could tell that great care was taken with our pet and with our home. We don't have a good frame of reference for pricing for pet services but we thought the cost of the pet visit was a steal to begin with and then when we saw the high level of service, we could not have been more satisfied. Finally we were impressed with HSH's credentials, they have a long list of referrals and are fully insured / bonded etc. For such a small family owned company the service was really first class. We know HSH would be perfect for your pet care needs. We did not use them for pet supplies but they also have an online pet store (I think they might deliver for free if you have in-house pet services) which could be convenient.

They are one of the few that are certified, insured, and bonded. I needed someone to watch my cat for several days and I was nervous about leaving him because I hadn't been away for an extended period of time in years. However, after speaking to Mark a lot of my anxiety was relieved. He was very professional and met with me in person prior to the sit. Not only did Mark and his team do a great job caring for my cat but they also took in the mail and turned on the lights at night. I felt secure having them at my house which was an added bonus. They also gave me daily updates on how my cat was doing, which is so incredibly important.
