Dog Boarding in Charlestown

About: Trained and handled 26 sled dogs for an expedition outfitter in Alaska. Combined 50 year experienced dog owners with a large wooded yard for on and off leash time. We are outdoor oriented so your dog will have plenty of outdoor time. We work independently from home and have a flexible schedule. We can host with short notice and have the ability to integrate your dog in our daily life easily. We will include your dog into our family as we care for our own 11 year old small dog. We love hosting on our small off grid homestead!

“Joseph was wonderful with my dog. He made it a point to build trust with her before introducing her to the other puppers in his home. He sent frequent pictures and updates during her stay. I was able to enjoy my time out of town knowing sunny was being well cared for the entire time. Communication was always easy and timely. She had all of her items with her when I picked her up and she was happy and healthy. I would 100% recommend Joseph and would return as a repeat customer!”

“Kevin took Josie and Avi on short notice. His place seems ideal for dogs with a nice long walking loop. The dogs seemed right at home in the picture Kevin sent while we were away. He also has aspiring nature photographers in his daughters, the polaroids they gave us when we picked up the pups are on our fridge.”

“John and Susan were absolutely amazing. my dog Pearl has been with us for five years and we’ve never boarded her out and we’ve never brought her to a doggy daycare or anything like that. I knew I didn’t want to bring my dog to a place that keeps her crated or in a kennel type situation. John and Susan treated Perl the exact way we treat her 💤🛌 sleeping in our bed, sleeping or in our lap, loving us, kissing us, going for walks, cuddle time spoiling her with treats. I would highly recommend John and Susan and little Miss Emily. They were so great with communication to let me know how she was doing, taking pictures and that just helped ease our minds so much…”

“Mike and Laura took exceptional care of our 17-year old Jack Russell. Mike was extremely communicative during the entire process and helped make our trip to Ludlow happen!”

“I knew Winnie was in great hands right away. Hope made sure to ask all the right questions and played with our anxious puppy as we left so Winnie wouldn’t cry. Hope also went out of her way to drive two hours round trip so Winnie could be the flower girl in our wedding ceremony. It’s obvious how much she loves dogs and knows how to handle them.”

“Martha was so wonderful! She sent us regular updates with photos, which made me very happy to see while I was missing my pup. Olive took to her almost immediately, which is a rarity for a chihuahua who tends to distrust strangers. I would definitely book with Martha again the next time we are in need!”

“Seriously Jamie-Lynn is the absolute best! We've never left our dog with anyone and she made us very comfortable to do so. She kept us updated on nellee's days with her. She even dressed her up and Took photos of her which were adorable! she'll definitely be our go to sitter. Nellee took to her and her dog very well and she even let us know things about Nellee that we can work at home as first time dog owners. We're very grateful for her and the awesome job she did, and nellee's new friend Vader! :). Thanks Jamie!!”

“Absolutely wonderful experience, Greta sent pictures and updates ever night. Was just a great experience and would highly recommend if you need your fur baby taken care of. Thank you so much!!”

“Great hosts! Very quick to respond and just good people! I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there and I could tell my dog had a blast with the other dogs there. Would absolutely recommend their services!”

“My pups had so much fun with Kaitlin and her son! The communication was prompt from the onset of booking our appointment and it was easy to coordinate drop off and get updates throughout their stay. Kaitlin made sure the pups got lots of time outside and they looked cozy cuddled up in her home. I would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Sarah, Ben and Bean are the BEST. Attie had the most incredible time playing with Bean and I loved the updates and pictures. Sarah knew how nervous I felt leaving him for nearly 3 weeks and was so considerate and kind. Attie came home tired and he seems like he misses Bean and Sarah already. Love that we have found such an incredible family to leave Attie with when we are away ❤️”

“Halle and family took good care of my dog Rosie, who can be a challenge when she's in an environment with strangers. Rosie sometimes has socializing issue, but Halle understood my special care requests and Rosie turned out to be a fine guest for a week in their house. As Rosie was evidently at ease, so was I while I was away. Should a boarding need arise in the future, I will definitely consider Halle.”

“My husband and I call Marissa the “dog whisperer”. She is incredibly fun, attentive and loving towards all animals. She has cared for our little Ozzy (a mini golden doodle) on several occasions and he absolutely adores her. Her photo and video updates are so thoughtful and fun and she is just so easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone who needs care for their special animal🐶”

“Grace and her sweet pup Luddy made it SO comfortable and easy for us to leave our girl for the weekend. She obviously cares a great deal, is very kind and responsive, and clearly enjoys the time with her guests. Her home and property are safe/comfy with lots of space in nature to play and explore. I highly recommend her and will be asking for her help sitting again for sure!”

“Jaimi was very welcoming and flexible with our schedule. Simba enjoyed his visit. We will rebook next year on our return to ski at Okemo.”

“Adaylia was awesome with Loki and very accommodating. I was almost 2 hours late picking up my pup due to an unexpectedly much bigger snow storm than what was predicted. She was so gracious and understanding. When I picked up Loki I could tell he was super happy and also nice and tired. I can tell he had a great time. I highly recommend Adaylia to anyone looking for a great dog sitter/boarding.”

“Ollie seemed to enjoy his time with Afton and her wontfamily! He went swimming and for hikes, had plenty of cuddles and came back to us a happy pup! Lots of pictures and texts, thank you”

“Adam is the most caring dog sitter we have left our sweet Meaty with yet! 10/10 would recommend him. Lots of peanut butter in house.”

“Tamara was outstanding boarding our dog for the weekend. She was communicative, responsive, but most importantly so affectionate to our dog. She gave her lots of love and attention. I HIGHLY recommend Tamara.”
