Dog Boarding in East Calais, VT

“AnnaRose is a truly caring individual who took great care of our 2.5 year old pup. We came in from Ohio and feel so fortunate to have found her for a 2 night boarding need. Thank you so so much!”

“Our 6-month old puppy has had 2 stays with Piper so far. She is amazing. Our dog is fearful of strangers and needs to warm up at his own pace (which can be extremely slow at times). Piper just knew how to handle him from the get go and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She even discovered things that our little guy likes that we did not know. Prior to his first stay, Piper spent quite a bit of time on the phone to get as much information as possible about Milo. She even made recommendations to make him feel comfortable. While he was anxious at drop off time, he was a happy little guy after his first experience there. At the second stay a week later, I left Piper's house with him licking from her hand and not really caring that I was leaving (a huge accomplishment given his fear level). And when I picked him up, he did not even come to the door - I guess he had forgotten about me and was happily chewing on a bone, all comfy on the rug. Piper is family no. 2 to our dog!”

“Zoe takes my dog on frequent walks and he just loves her! She will treat your pet like her own, she has a very big soft spot for animals. I know she has two dogs of her own and they are both treated like kings in her home! If you want the real deal give her a try, you won’t regret it!”

“Meghan and her partner took great care of my pup, I would definitely use them again! They were super friendly, and their attention to detail and level of care was fantastic! Thank you both so much.”

“Kim was awesome! I was visiting Stowe with my family and felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She did a great job at keeping me updated and sending lots of pictures. My dog got lots of exercise and play time outdoors and looked like he had a blast! I would definitely use Kim again if I’m in the area!”

“My two border collies had an excellent time, with plenty of supervised play with other dogs. My old guy Luke thoroughly enjoyed his active social life and is quite bored to be back home. Meanwhile, my young dog Rafe completely bonded to Sam and kept her in sight all the time. Plenty of outside exercise and I loved the photo updates. I’ve never boarded these two before but it worked out great and will happily board with Sam again.”

“Thank you Barbara and Darryll for being such great companions for Nyima while we were gone. It was so helpful to know she was loved and taken care of - and that she got to play outside with you every day!”

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life- from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have trained puppies (am currently doing so now) and cared for the sweetest senior dogs. I have a large home and yard, free of children but with one friendly puppy. I am very patient and loving, and will appreciate any animal personality I am presented with. I have a smaller fenced in area off my back door. I am available for all services anytime on weekends but also work from home on Mondays. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits each week night after 4, and sometimes during my lunch break if you happen to live near downtown Montpelier! I frequently bring dogs for leashed walks throughout their time with me, whether its around my large yard or somewhere new like a bike path. I do not provide a crate but rather try to mostly stay with a dog throughout the duration of their stay, and allow them full access to my home at all times. I like to treat them as family but also do whatever will make them feel most comfortable and secure.

“Elizabeth took great care of Pickle. I highly recommend. Will use again”

“Paige was incredible with our dog. She not only kept us well up to date with their day to day items but since our dog has been battling some illness, she ensured Toodles was up on her meds, attentive to her needs, and even made special at home accommodations to help her feel a bit better. We know our dog can sometimes be a handful and Paige took her on as her own so we were able to have the utmost confidence being away and feel at ease knowing she was in perfect hands. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend and looking forward to utilizing Paige again!”

“Maria took great care of my dogs. They came back to me looking happy and well-exercised! I got frequent updates from her and lots of pictures. I would definitely have my dogs stay with her again.”

“Kelly was super awesome with Prada I loved how she kept me informed with Prada while I was on vacation she even sent me pictures of her! She followed all instructions I sent for Prada as well! She will most definitely be my go to when I need a sitter for Prada again ?”

“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”

“Julia was so welcoming to our pups. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her capable hands!”

“Ally was so friendly and clearly competent with dogs. She lives on a long rural street and her beautiful property is awesome for dogs. She has a great safe penned area for the dogs to play. I was running late on both sides and she was exceptionally easy going about it, even bringing my dog home for me. You really couldn't ask for anything more when looking for someone to take care of your dog.”

“Alaysha was so great to work with. She setup a meet and greet so both humans and dogs could meet in person before hand. During our dogs stay she was super attentive to his needs and sent great updates and photos. Both she and Alexander took my pup on tons of walks and hikes, making sure he had ample exercise. It was nice knowing he had a friend to hang with - their dog Zinnia. I would highly recommend Alaysha and Alexander.”

“Colby (and her farm) is amazing. Our Puppy was with her for a couple nights and came back exhausted. He had the time of his life running free, playing with other pups and being well loved during his stay. She also bathed him, trimmed his bangs and helped with some training. I’m going to think of reasons to be out that way again so he can spend more time with her. Thanks for everything Colby. You’re a gem.”

“Brandon and Janey took excellent care of our pup while we were on vacation for a week! They were wonderful communicators and provided daily updates. They made sure he got lots of exercise and attention. I highly recommend them.”

“Nothing but great things to say about Gabbi! She is a very reliable, super fun and experienced dog sitter. She’s great with our dog Maude and Maude loves spending time w both Gabbi and her dog Roo. Gabbi does a excellent job keeping us in the loop with frequent photo updates from their adventures, which we so appreciate and cherish when we are away. We hope to work w Gabbi as our go-to dog sitter well into the future.”

“Cindy was extremely flexible in boarding our German Shepherd for a week at the last minute. Her two dogs got along well with our dog and they loved to play together. She sent us lots of pictures. Her husband even bought our dog some doggie ice cream. Our dog absolutely had a great time and loved being there. I highly recommend you have Cindy board your dog.”
