Pet Boarding in Ashburnham

“Our black lab puppy Simba had an AMAZING time here. 5 star experience for sure!!! We brought him to come meet Elaine after a traumatic stay he experienced at a dog hotel. He was “ok” there but was needing more affection, kindness and one on one personal time. He also had a very hard time traveling in the car after our one week vacation at the pet hotel. Right away he and our family felt comfortable here. My dog is shy, sweet and quiet on first meeting people but with Elaine he warmed up so quickly and fell in love with her, her big beautiful back yard, spacious warm home and tender care. We brought him back for this one day stay over night and we are sooooo happy we did. He easily followed her inside her house vs us usually having to pick him up and go in, which was a great feeling. He had a relaxing fun time with their sweet dog Brady, felt right at home and had no problem whatsoever. We feel so grateful for all the love, time and affection he got here and we cant rave enough about this dog sitter/dog boarder!!!!! We will be coming back in October for a week when we go away on our family vacation. We feel so relieved and relaxed to leave our bundle of joy with Elaine knowing he’ll be so cared for here. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT OUR STAY AND ELAINE!!!!!! We will definitely be repeat clients and will be sharing our good experience with all our many friends with dogs. Thank you Thank you!!”

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.
