Reserve your pet's vacation today!
Hello and welcome! I am Sarah Bussinger, the owner and operator of The Bark House CT. I have always been around animals, whether they were my own or belonged to friends and family. I grew up experiencing the bond that develops between a pet and their family. Along with my family, I strive to love, nurture, train, and care for your pets like they were our own.
I have offered to pet sit for close friends and family for decades. I started to pet sit more often for friends and neighbors shortly after the passing of my dear dog Teddy. I began pet sitting professionally to honor her memory and pass on the loving bond she had with my entire family to all the other dogs we get to care for. She was a special part of our family and we want your pets to feel like they are a special part of our family as well.
When your dear pets are cared for in our home, they will not only socialize with me, my husband, and our three kids, but also our dog Bear. Bear is a wonderful helper with all of the visitors by giving tours, playing, and socializing.
During our 20 minute in home visit, we can take your pup for a walk, play with them, feed them, refresh the water bowl, and do anything else your pup might need.
During our hour-long pup adventure, you can pick what their special day looks like. We can take them to the rec center for a loop walk; take them to Main Street in Ridgefield; or take them to their favorite hiking trail. To end their special day, they will get a choice of a treat in their pup cup. Of course, all pup adventures come with pictures and videos of their special day.

Please reach us at info@thebarkhousect.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Our first pick up and drop off is at 8 AM. Our last pick up and drop off is at 8 PM. Our timings can vary depending on our personal schedules.
We always offer a meet and greet prior to stay and play visits and boarding so you and your dear pets are comfortable with us prior to dropping off.
After you contact us, we will have a conversation about your pet and the services we offer. Once we have an opportunity for a meet and greet, we suggest doing 2-4 play and stay visits during the day to get your pup used to staying with us. Once your pup has completed their stay and plays, they can stay with us overnight.
When your pets are coming for doggie daycare, they should have a collar, harness and leash. Poop bags are suggested and appreciated.
When your pets are staying with us overnight, please bring their food, treats, collar, harness, leash, crate, bed, blanket, and anything else that might help them feel comfortable and at home with us. Poop bags are suggested and appreciated.
Your dear pets are welcome to sleep with us in our bed or on their own bed in our bedroom. If you crate them at night, they will sleep in their crate. We feel it is important to follow the routines they are used to to help them have the most comfortable visit possible.
We want you to feel confident in our care of your pet! If you have any questions about how we make our home your pet's home away from home, please reach out. We will respond to you as soon as possible!
