Dog Boarding in Barre

“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad Shannon was my first dog-sitter. She took great care of my 6-month old black lab Rain. She took her on walks and made her feel at home. Knowing I was a bit anxious about leaving Rain with a new person, Shannon sent me a picture and a short message letting me know she was doing great. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Samantha accommodated us for a somewhat last-minute stay request and was very gracious and welcoming to us and to our nearly 9 month old puppy. She kept us updated during his stay and he seemed to enjoy the company of the other pups at her home, along with the activities of being on a farm with lots of room to roam. Thank you, Samantha and family!”

“Incredible. No further explanation needed. If there were 6 stars, I would gladly give that rating too! Piper is everything you want in a dog sitter.”

“Jennette is a great caretaker of animals. She someone I trust with my pets at anytime! She is experienced with dogs, cats, and even chickens! And has had many foster animals come through her home. She is kind, friendly, and competent when it comes to caring for pets and critters.”

“Gwynn was amazing, ad Ursa had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the daily picture and video updates, and it was clear Ursa enjoyed being in such a beautiful, safe, and loving environment. We would recommend Gwynn and her lovely property to anyone seeking a caring provider. Thank you!”

“Lahana was fantastic, very easy to communicate with and I felt she truly heard and took to heart my cat’s needs! She Was incredibly friendly and was flexible with drop off and pickup for boarding! Her doggies were super friendly and well managed for the brief interaction I had with them! She helped out big time and was affordable for what I needed! She updated me with pictures throughout Wally’s stay without me even having to ask! Thanks so much Lahana! Looking forward to reaching back out in the future when traveling in the area again!”

“Watson loves Colby. She is calm, kind and patient. She cares for a limited amount of pups at a time which allows the dogs to make friends and play together with lots of room in the fields behind Colby’s house. Watson comes back happy and tired as he is outside a lot romping around. We are so thankful for Colby as when we do have to travel without Watson, we know he is in great hands.”

“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!”

“Barbara and Darryll took phenomenal care of Hank while we were at a wedding. They asked detailed questions about his needs and schedule, took him out for long walks, and sent us lots of photos. I only wish we lived nearby so we could send Hank to them all the time!”

“Kelly and her son did such an amazing job watching my baby Coco. I would definitely use Kelly again and would refer her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“So glad we found Kaitlyn! She is now one of our go-to dog sitters. It’s clear that she takes great care of her own dog and strives to do the same for others. She was eager to learn about and meet our pup’s needs, providing lots of care and attention, exercise and outdoor time. We could tell from the pictures that our dog Nyima was happy and got along with Kaitlyn’s dog Cedar. Couldn’t be more satisfied!”

“Bella is a great sitter! She is very responsible and can be relied on to follow all care instructions. Her patience with high energy pets is so appreciated, and she’s a very kind person. I would definitely recommend her services!”

“Kevin was an excellent communicator before and during our dog’s stay. He made drop off and pick up easy. We recommend and plan to request him again.”

“I can't think of anyone better than Melissa to be a pet sitter. I am her mother so the advantage is that I know her well and I witness daily the care she gives her pets- mostly dogs - but her daughter now has a cat who is treated like a princess. Melissa walks her dogs daily. Always on a leash where required but also has some special places where dogs can be unleashed. Pets are well fed, get treats (when they behave😂), have toys, warm beds, warm jackets. She would be the person that not only feeds, walks, pets but also genuinely cares about them. I truly believe river.com couldn't find anyone better suited!!! Rachel Pinard”

“It was nice to be able to leave for 4 days knowing our beloved puppy would be in good hands. Liz’s dogs Pacha & Trevor are great buddies to spend a few days with. It was nice to see them romping around in tall grass together in the videos that were sent.”

“Hannah was took really good care of my dog, Maya. Hannah sent regular updates with photos and I could tell Maya loved spending time with Hannah and her dogs! I will definitely board Maya again at Hannah's!”

“Kim did a wonderful job looking after my anxious pup for the weekend. She was very sensitive to her needs. I would be happy to leave her with Kim again.”

“Julia was an excellent match for our two dogs for overnights. Large running and playing area and she took them for lots of walks. They obviously felt comfortable with her right away. Julia is an experienced dog professional and exudes the confidence and technique theater goes along with that. We will definitely call upon her again for dog care.”

About: I have been walking and pet sitting since I was younger. I would watch and walk my neighbors dog for them when they went away. I recently graduated from UVM with my B.S in animal science hoping to go to Vet school in the future. I have worked with more than just dogs and cats, but livestock too. I work at a vet clinic as a vet technician right now and walk/ pet sit for families in the area now. I work a full time job at a vet clinic but have availability before and after work, as well as weekends. My hours do vary on certain days so feel free to reach out regardless! I do have a good size backyard. It is not fenced in but I have do have 4.5 acres of land behind my house. There are also walk/hiking trails down the road from my house.

“Brandon took great care of my dog, Theo. Theo is Brandon took Theo for long walks in the woods each day! He sent me several photos on Theo’s activities, stayed in touch, and responded quickly to my questions. Theo was well-loved and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to as Brandon to care for Theo in the future!”
