I'm blown away at how professional the staff is. They're all really nice and funny too! They really take dog walking to the next level. I couldn't have asked for a more detailed and proactive team, who made sure to ask all the right questions. They even taught me something new I didn't know about the lock on my back door. I am very over protective when it comes to my dogs and I wouldn't trust them with anyone else! read more

David's Pet Services - Report card from walk - Dog Walkers Near Me

I used David's Pet Services in West Hartford for a few years and found them to be fantastic. My dog received excellent care with every visit. The walkers were always on time and provided a much needed bathroom, exercise, and food break for my pup. I looked forward to the daily pictures and visit description. Every interaction with David and his fantastic team was positive. I found them to be highly competent, honest, flexible, and caring. I recommend DPS to care for your pet when you can't. You will not be disappointed. read more

David's Pet Services - Dog Walkers Near Me

We've been DPS customers for 6 months now and can't say enough good things about David, Erin and the team. Scheduling is easy and they provide reports for each visit including pictures (which our kids love). They are friendly, punctual, trustworthy, communicative, and everything from scheduling through billing is handled through a single portal/app which is easy to use. Overall they are a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them. read more

I could not be happier with David's Pet Services. I have been using them since 2020 and although the pets have changed, the service has not. We had to conduct our initial meet-and-greet virtually due to the pandemic, however the entire process went seamlessly. I was able to have a video conference with David while walking around the house to show him where all the supplies were located. He asked me to point the camera in various directions so he could take screen shots of what he needed. And when Grace came to get the keys we did a "contact-less" exchange. Initially, we hired DPS to look after some small animals (fish and caged animals) while we were away. Every day Grace sent me beautiful photos of my happy fish so I could tell they were clean and eating right. She also sent pictures of our hamster, who surprised us all by waking up in the middle of the day to have his picture taken. But Grace and DPS really did a fantastic job with our rabbit. We asked her to let him hop around for a few minutes each day, but she took him on adventures throughout the house and even had a 30-minute Taylor Swift jam session with him. (Truthfully, he may have had more fun with her than with us...) We have continued to use them for dog walking, overnight pet-sitting, and longer (7-10 days) vacations. I have never encountered a problem since we began using them and have always felt incredible peace-of-mind... and that's what I really want. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DPS. read more

The staff at David's is so professional and top notch. They take wonderful care of my pets. I really enjoy the ease of scheduling in the ap, and the daily updates with GPS maps of their walk complete with photos are great! I highly recommend this company. read more

DPS are amazing! Very professional and caring sitters. We used them to take care of our dog while we were away for 2 weeks. David goes out of his way to document all of your pets needs, preferences, and instructions. We received photos and updates after each visit, and they even took the garbage can down to the curb for us! The whole experience was easy for us and our dog. I highly recommend David's Pet Service, so much better than a kennel. read more

Couldn't be happier with David and his team! Trustworthy and dependable!

David and his staff are the best. David is always available to answer any questions you may have or any changes of schedule you may need. When I called him to tell him the elevators in the building were out and that someone may have to walk up and down 14 flights to walk the dog, he said no problem. We'll make it work. Thankfully, the elevators came back online before the scheduled walk. The dog walkers love love love Chloe even though she's the laziest thing around. You get very detailed reports and fun pictures of the pooch after the walk. Some of my friends with kids have even mentioned these reports are more thorough than what they get for their kids at day care. I trust David and his staff unconditionally with Chloe and highly recommend them. read more

David's Pet Services - David giving Chloe belly rubs. It looks like he may have enjoyed them more than her. - Dog Walkers Near Me

DPS is the ABSOLUTE best dog walking service in the West Hartford area. Their app tells you when they came to your house, it gives you GPS map of where they went for a walk, and they send you pictures along the way. This is a well run and very organised service.. But even more important than the app is the people. They are so caring. They know their stuff (they have given me tons of advice over the years). And they even rushed over to help when my wife went into labor early and we needed coverage for our dog. Would absolutely recommend! read more

DPS is thee BEST! We've been with Dave and his team for almost 2 years and we couldn't have picked a better dog walking service. Dave and everyone he hires is trustworthy, loves animals and is dependable... better yet, our puppy Reuben is SO happy when they come. They helped train our puppy since day 1 and have the easiest scheduling/cancellation app and are incredibly flexible/reachable (2 doctors with an "easy" schedule? Doesn't exist). Rain, shine, falling trees, snowpocalypse they're there. This past summer Reuben needed a joint fusion on one of his hind legs - basically it means he needed to keep his leg in a cast for 8 + weeks and no jumping/running/playful activities. You can imagine how heartbreaking it was to leave him at home - but DPS came twice a day, and each time made sure Reuben received his medications had light walks/enjoyed fresh air in the front yard. We couldn't have made it through those weeks without them! read more

The service itself has always been wonderful. I really like the application features and how easy it is to communicate while I'm away. Most of the staff are also very reliable and wonderful. It can be tough to let strangers into your home with your pets but I've never worried about them. I gave them 3 stars because I'm super shocked at how much the prices have changed since I started using them only a year ago. I don't think dog and cat visits should be treated the same price wise. Not to mention all the language in the app is dog oriented so it's confusing when reading about prices for cat visits. Right now it's $27 for someone to come in, feed my cat, pet them, and leave for only 20 minutes. I know they do other chores but if you have them come twice a day, they aren't really doing too much between both visits. Why is a 20 min dog walk cheaper than a 20 min pet visit to a cat right now? Then, it's +$10 to this visit during holidays. Totally get the holiday pay incentive for employees, but a cat visit and a dog visit is very different. $5 extra for a cat visit seems more reasonable. $37 is wild. I know tipping isn't mandatory but of course it's expected and I understand that. But I can't tip on top of these fees. I have to switch to another service who caters service prices to the specific animal for the meantime. I'm sad to do it because again, DPS is wonderful but I can't get past the increase in fees. I hope the company reconsiders pricing to make it more accessible to long time customers and to make it make better sense with different animals. read more

Could not recommend this company more. Both experiences that I've had thus far with David's Pet Services (I'm sure there will be many more to come) have been excellent. Jane has been so caring, thorough and thoughtful when taking care of my cat. There are daily updates with pictures and a description of the entire visit. In addition to that, the price is very reasonable for the quality of their work. Would not hesitate hiring David's Pet Services to take care of your pets - it's affordable and most importantly, your pet is extremely well taken care of. read more

The team at David's Pet Services did an absolutely awesome job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. Each day I received pictures and thoughtful messages about their daily visit to see my cat, and I could tell it wasn't just a generic message because they were commenting on specific quirky things that my cat does (which made me laugh). I was expecting my cat to hide from them, but they made fast friends with her and gave her lots of attentioIt definitely made me feel less worried about her while I was on my trip. They also did helpful things like bringing in the mail and changing up some of the lights in the house, and even vacuumed up some of the cat hair before I got home! I am so glad I found DPS and highly recommend them! Update: I've continued using this team's services an additional four or five times over the last year, and can't sing their praises highly enough. I always felt safe leaving my cat in their care, and they always sent me funny updates. read more

The care, education and transparency David and team extend is what sets them apart from all dog walkers I've experienced. To see where they've walked and the photos they send me, along with the detailed questions they ask is what keeps my mind at ease that my furry kid is in the best hands. read more

DPS is by far the best pet sitting service anywhere. Very reliable and respectful to homes and above all your pets. I cannot give David's Pet Sitting enough respect and recommendations. Awesome!!! Thank you DPS!! read more

I cannot say enough good things about DPS, they are amazing!! When we moved to CT a few years ago we needed to find someone we could trust to take care of our 4-legged furry child. Dave runs a very trustworthy business and he along with his crew take great care of our dog. When looking for a dog walker it can be a little nerve-wracking letting a stranger in your house but we were immediately at ease with DPS. Dave clearly hires people that truly love animals as much as any pet owner would. They are always there to help out in a pinch and are very flexible. If you are looking for the best pet service in the area, look no further. read more

Need a reliable, fun, and safe dog walker? Look no further then David's Pet Services! My fiancé and I have busy work schedules and needed a dogwalker to take our pooch out every week day. We now get daily updates about their adventures, adorable pictures, and a map of where they walked -- I mean does it get any better?! Our pooch has grown to love Jane and waits for her by the door every day and does a happy dance when she walks in! This company knows what they are doing -- they are extremely reliable (even on snow days), efficient, secure, and most of all fun!! I would trust no one else with our pup and our apartment. Great team, great service -- highly recommend! read more

GREAT BUNNY RABBIT SITTER David and team have taken care of our Rex rabbit Lilac on several different occasions. They are thorough in monitoring her feeding and super attentive to her needs. I would leave six stars if I could! read more

Wonderful, caring service is all we have ever received from David's Pet Services. I have used them for several months for my two dogs here in Hartford. The dog walkers are fabulous and passionate about what they do. I know they care for my dogs and have gotten to understand them well. My dogs are eager to go for dog walks with them, after the belly rubs they always request. That's a dogs way of trusting people! I trust DPS to arrive as scheduled, on time and send me pictures and updates from their visit. The notes are always informative and fun. Don't hesitate to use DPS for your dog walks. read more

I'm not even a client...YET...but living very close to three clients of DPS has given me unadulterated insight into how their work ethic, experience and compassion provides ideal pet care. Without the awareness of being watched, DPS' employees demonstrate comptentcy, respect, vigiliance, and phenomenal attention to detail. Most importantly, the pets they work with look so at ease and joyful at the attention DPS provides. I know as soon as I find the perfect dog, I already have the perfect help lined up. read more
