Dog Boarding in Barkhamsted, CT

“Karina was wonderful with my Piper. She is an anxious dog and took to her right away on our trial stay. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. We have never been able to leave her with an anyone away from our home. I am very happy we found someone who took amazing care of her. Thank you!”

“Khanh and Tommy welcomed us into their home for a very last minute boarding request. We received several updates, with pictures and video while we were away. Their love and care was evident and we know Astro had such a fun time! We are so grateful to have found them and we are looking forward to working with them again very soon! Look no further!! This is the right family to take care of your pup(s)!”

“Clifford loved his stay with Alan & Luis! The fenced in yard and friendly pups tired Cliff out; he slept for a whole day after picking him up. Thanks for taking such great care of him!”

“Katie was wonderful. This was short notice and she could not have been more accommodating. Tully had a great time playing with the other pups and came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Katie.”

“Haoran was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Molly and Olive! From start to finish, she went above and beyond with their care. She kept us consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs—Molly and Olive were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved the entire time. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Haoran and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again. Highest recommendation!”

“Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!”

“We were so nervous to leave our new puppy for the first time with someone, but Tyler exceeded all expectations! We got lots of updates, pictures, and Tyler was communicative about everything. I’m so grateful we booked with him and we will be doing so in the future for any travel we have. If you need a dog sitter, Tyler is the way to go!”

“MJ was terrific with my 5 month old bordoodle puppy. She kept me updated about how he was doing during the week I was traveling, and sent me lots of pictures. I was extremely comfortable that MJ, a responsible dog owner herself, was taking great care of Nacho and treating him as one of her own. He got plenty of play time and love and snuggles. She also made sure to carefully introduce him to her three dogs- I think my puppy had a real vacation at her home! I was skittish leaving Nacho anywhere with other dogs due to a bad experience he recently had at a doggie day care, but MJ quickly put me at ease and clearly treated him wonderfully. Nacho has some new friends now! I would HIGHLY recommend MJ to anyone.”

“Christle took great care of Peabody! At the meet and greet, she gave lots of information and answered all of my questions- I felt so comfortable leaving Peabody with her! Peabody and her dogs got along very well and had a great time playing together. When I picked Peabody up, he was so relaxed and happy. It was obvious that Christle took great care of him. Needless to say, I will be going to Christle again for any of Peabody’s boarding needs.”

“Sean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns size”

“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”

“James was fantastic! I have a relatively shy dog, but he came home super happy and clearly had a fun time with James and fam in a super compassionate, loving household. Would recommend them anytime.”

“After our regular dog sitter (a family member) fell through I reached out to Vanessa last minute. She was incredibly accommodating and agreed to take Luna! I am so happy to have found her because Luna had the best time! Vanessa sent tons of videos and photos and kept me up to date on Luna’s adventures as she took walks and played with their other pups! We don’t leave Luna with anyone but family but I’m happy that we were in a bind - otherwise Luna wouldn’t have had such a fantastic weekend! I will definitely be calling on Vanessa again! I highly recommend her - you and your fur baby won’t be disappointed!”

Laura D.

“I would highly recommended Ifan! This was the first time I have ever boarded my dog Charli and he regularly updated me about how Charli was doing and provided Charli with great outdoor/indoor playtime with other pup friends as well. Ifan himself was very responsive to any messages I sent him. If I ever need to board Charli again I will definitely do so with Ifan and would suggest others to do the same.”

“Ciara is the best without a doubt! Will absolutely be booking with her again she’s amazing! I trust Ciara with my dog she treated him like her own pet and she was very great with communicating and sends lots of pictures. Ciara does not disappoint she’s the best pet sitter I have ever met and known and she’s very professional. Thank you Ciara I look forward to my next booking with you! 🫶🏼”

“Heather was fantastic! I needed a last minute booking and she and her family were superb. My pup came home so happy and content!! Thank you!! Would recommend Heather to everyone.”

“Tina and Jordan took incredible care of our dog, Rae. As a nervous pet parent, I was so grateful for the frequent photo and video updates—they truly gave me peace of mind while we were away. From our very first meeting, I knew Rae was in the right hands, and now that she’s stayed with them, I honestly can't recommend them enough. They listened to all of my concerns, eased my worries, and were wonderfully flexible when our travel plans changed a bit.”

“Dexter is a passive 17+ yr “old” man. Laura was great with him. He often gets separation anxiety but was very comfortable and relaxed with her. She was very attentive updating us by sending pics and videos which confirmed he was very much at ease with her and her family. We’ll definitely use her again. Thanks Laura!”
