Doggy Day Care in Barre

“Emily was great with my senior dog, and her dog Cabot is a sweetheart who got along fine with mine.”

About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day

“When there's a spider in the house, Julia gently catches it and releases it outside. She's a lover of animals, especially dogs. I watched her take care of two Schnauzers for the last 8 years, and they were the luckiest and healthiest dogs on earth (she taught them to love their veggies). Her life revolved around the happiness of them both, everything else came second. Your dogs will be in extremely good hands with Julia, well loved, healthily snacked, exercised and pampered. They'll be the center of her universe while they're in her care.”

“Gwynn was great with our dog, Friday! She successfully administered her medication as needed and sent us plenty of pictures and videos during her stay. It was clear at the end of her stay that Friday was well cared for and very comfortable with Gwynn. We will absolutely be bringing her back as needed in the future!”

About: I have had pet dogs all of my adult life. They are not just pets - they’re family. I live on a quiet cul de sac with my two-year-old golden retriever Maple. She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home most days. Being a mom, I’m around most nights. I am also available most weekends. I have fenced in yard where your furry friend can play with my dog. We’re on a quiet street where we take lots of walks. I can also crate when preferred.

About: We bring a unique mix of experience, patience, and genuine love for animals that sets me apart from other sitters. I have hands-on experience caring for both energetic puppies and senior dogs with special needs, including administering medication, providing mobility support, and adjusting activities to match their health and comfort. I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where every pet feels at home. I’m attentive to details, quick to notice changes in behavior, and committed to keeping both pets and their owners happy and worry-free. Whether it’s playtime, training reinforcement, or extra snuggles, I’m there to meet each pet’s individual needs. As a remote workers, our schedule is flexible, allowing us to incorporate pet care seamlessly into our daily routine. We take breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with pets, whether it's going for walks, playing, or just providing company. Since We are home, I can provide consistent care and attention, ensuring pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. Plus, we can adapt my work hours to accommodate pets' needs, making sure they get the love and exercise they deserve. In our home, we treat each pet as a cherished member of the family. We create a comfortable, familiar environment with plenty of attention, affection, and fun. In our home, pets enjoy a cozy, safe space where they have access to comfy spots to relax, toys to play with, and plenty of outdoor time for walks or play. We stick to their usual routines, whether that’s feeding times, naps, or special activities they enjoy, so they feel like they’re still at home. When I care for pets in their own homes, I ensure their space stays familiar and stress-free. I follow their usual schedule, maintain their daily routines, and provide the same level of comfort and attention they’re accustomed to. I keep their environment as close to their own home as possible, so they feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away.

“Of course! Here's an expanded testimonial for Isabella: I highly recommend Isabella as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, loving, and attentive. My pets adore her, and I trust her completely with their care. Isabella goes above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy and healthy. She is always punctual, communicates well, and has a genuine love for animals. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my fur babies!”

“Kim provided doggie daycare to my doodle Rooney while I hit the slopes on our VT vacay. Roo came home happy & tired after playing w/ his friends all day. Kim even provides pick-up/drop-off services which are very convenient & much appreciated! Highly recommend!”

“Christina was wonderful. She was so kind and considerate and thoughtful. She welcomed my very large boxer into her home, and took great care of him. She really went above and beyond and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”

“Colby hosted our three pups in her home for a day and it was an amazing experience! She was extremely communicative and made sure to cater to each of our dog's individual needs. Our dogs came home so happy and tired from all the fun they had with Colby. I mean, what more could we ask for? We are all looking forward to working with Colby again!”

“There are three things that set Laurie apart from other dog sitters: 1. She is reliably caring and understanding with our pet. She gets our dog, and loves her quirks. 2. Laurie is totally dependable. She trekked through 12’’ of snow up a steep driveway to visit our pet on a cold, winter morning. 3. Laurie is proactive about resolving problems whether they are behavioral, medical or something else. If your pet won’t take her medicine, she can handle it. If your pet needs some extra TLC, she can handle it. Laurie also walks our dog, sits with her and gives her much-needed attention and checks in with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”

“Hannah and her puppies were great, they helped kept my doggie entertained when I was at work. Ill definitely contact her again if needed, can't wait to see Chance and Samson.”

“Kate was wonderful with our dog Cricket. She took him on short notice, brought him on a hike and sent us cute pictures. Best of all is her majestic dog Cedar, who immediately made friends with our pup. Taking Cricket to Kate’s place felt like the best type of summer camp in gorgeous Vermont woods. We will absolutely be booking again soon. Cannot recommend Kate and Cedar enough!”

“Where to begin? Everything was amazing from start to finish. It’s the most comforting feeling to have someone you love (our pup) being left in safe hands. Kasey truly loves what she does and absolutely loves taking care of our little furry ones. It truly shows. We most definitely will be back since we frequent Vermont bi-annually. Thank you for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

“I am beyond lucky and grateful to have Brooke in my life. She’s the kind of person you can always count on—dependable, honest, and hardworking. She makes everyone around her feel at ease. Brooke’s love for animals shines in everything she does and she has even started fostering dogs in order to find them their perfect home. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, always making sure that everyone (two-legged or four-legged) feels cared for and safe. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is, not only to her friends and family but also to any task or responsibility she takes on. Whether it’s helping a friend in need or going the extra mile to make sure things are done right. I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pets. She has such a calm and nurturing energy, and I know any pet in her care will feel just as lucky to have her as I do.”

“Laura is AMAZING. She has taken care of my cat, Sally, on multiple occasions over long weekends. I am totally at ease when away from home knowing that Sally is in her care. She sends sweet pictures to let me know that they are happy and comfortable together. Thank you Laura!”
