Dog Boarding in Essex Junction

“My dog and I were immediately comfortable with Michele. She went above and beyond to exercise Wilson and keep him entertained. I got multiple updates and he looks so happy. We recently lost our other best dog friend of 14 years it's such a relief to have a compassionate competent caretaker to help keep my Wilson 3 years old feeling attended to and not alone.”

“Colleen was great! Very responsive, good-humored, and attentive to our slightly high-maintenance and quirky older dog. She even offered to do pick up and drop off when it worked out with her schedule. We will be back!”

“Dawn is amazing with my 4 year old malinois mix. Her dog is very friendly and they got along great. She was very easy to get a hold of and quick to answer back. Her yard was huge and fenced in which was perfect for the pups to play unrestricted. All and all she is a great dog sitter that I will use anytime I can!”

“Mildred did an excellent job taking care of our little dog. She was great at communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Thank you!”

“Macy was fantastic. She was always instantly responsive, super comfortable and confident with our pup and her dog Dezi was a great playmate for Auggie. Her large fenced in yard was a perfect play area, large enough to get a lot of exercise running around. Thank you Macy!”

“Melanie took great care of my dog. It was my (and his) first time being away from home. Melanie made time for us to talk about what my dog was like and what he needed and what he’d appreciate. She reached out once when she had a question, which I appreciated. Melanie communicated very well and quickly. If she’s available, I will choose Melanie next time!”

“Laura is a great host. Very responsive to our request and great communication throughout. She has a fantastic location for dogs and her dog is very friendly. Our first booking with DogVacay and couldn't have gone any better. Thanks Laura!”

“Nicole is the best! You know your Dog is in good hand when you go get them and they don't want to leave. A lot of play time, pictures and videos.”

“Liz was fabulous! Very attentive to our little Ruth and her needs. She kept us updated on how Ruth was doing while we were away through messages and photos.”

“I cannot imagine a more trustworthy pet care-giver than Matt! I watched him care for his own pets and felt completely comfortable leaving mine under his care. Our dog, Gunner, was well loved. Matt quickly became his best buddy. Matt had great control and confidence, even with our large lab. It was very evident that he knew what he was doing, and went above and beyond in his care for our dog. He had no problem with leash walking, commands, and just playing and having fun. He had some great suggestions for some toys that Gunner would like. I think our dog likes Matt more than he likes us!”

“Freddie enjoyed her stay! Katherine & Austin we’re fantastic! It was great to keep getting updates and to see how good of friends Freddie and Fennel became. Looking forward to more play dates thank you!!”

“Sabrina took good care of my Pomsky pup.”

“Tyler is great! He was happy to do a meet & greet before booking & his pup Riley is really sweet. My dog seemed happy & was calm at pick up. Would book 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!”

“Juliana is so sweet. I was so grateful she was able to adjust timings for pick up and drop off. And most importantly, Gal loves her.”

“Peter was very gracious in accepting a last minute request to care for our dog and though the stay was short, our dog seemed very happy and content. Would definitely recommend Peter.”

“Jess is a fantastic cat sitter and I have used her multiple times to check on my fur babies while I'm out of town. We have two cats with very different personalities and needs, and Jess always makes sure each is looked after and comfortable. She is willing to stop by more than once a day if needed and always provides an update. We were gone during a heat wave once and Jess took an extra trip to turn on our ceiling fans to make sure they were comfortable. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”

“This was our first time leaving our puppy with the dog sitter and we were feeling nervous but Jackie did a good job with our puppy. He played with him to make him feel relaxed. He also sent daily photos updates and great communication.”

“Dina did a lovely job taking care of my kitten. She provided helpful updates and photos. He seemed happy and his usual self when he got home :)”

“Amazing with Gal. She was very much loved during her stay. Was able to send me perfect update pictures. Will be using Hannah again for sure!!”
