Dog Boarding in Barton, VT

“First time with Rover and Maurice & Penny. Our dog “Scotch” was happy when we left him and happy when I came back. Maurice & Penny have experience with dogs and it was a no brainier for them to take care of our food addict chocolate lab. Scotch will be back: watch your food 🤣”

“Donald was the absolute best host to our dog, Birdie! He was so communicative before and during her stay, and he cared for her as if she were his. It was clear that she was nervous at first, and Donald made sure she felt comfortable and that she ate and drank enough water while she was there. He clearly adores and understands dogs and he is generally a lovely person!”

“C’était la première fois que nous laissions notre chiot avec une gardienne. Diane nous a rassuré dès le début et nous envoyait des messages, photos et vidéos de notre bébé tout le long du séjour. Diane a vraiment été super et a bien su gérer notre grand danois de 10 mois. Service exceptionnel, nous avons pu nous reposer quelques jours le coeur tranquille. Elle a beaucoup d’expérience avec les chiens et nous a donné de bons conseils :) C’est certain que nous ramènerons notre chien chez Diane dans le futur. Il était clairement a l’aise comme s’il était chez lui!”

“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!”

About: I am an animal lover who grew up taking care of many different kinds of animals and owning my own dog at a young age. I enjoy teaching and training our dog as well as playing with him. He's a happy, people-loving companion! I work from home and home school all 4 of my kids so taking care of pets fits into my schedule very well. Daily feeding and walking are scheduled. I happily include our pet in our home with some boundaries such as staying off of the furniture as well as not eating food off of the table.

“Faye was wonderful at making Phoebe and I feel comfortable about Phoebe’s stay. She sent photos with occasional updates during the two night visit. 10/10 would highly recommend.”

“Fabulous! Maria made me feel totally comfortable and at ease about leaving my doggies in someone else's care. I definitely recommend this sitter.”

“Chad was very good with our dog. Sent photos throughout and was easy to setup pickup and drop off with.”

“Kim is wonderful! My fiancé and I wanted to extend our trip an extra day, and Kim didn’t hesitate to take care of our girl longer than anticipated. We feel confident that our dog will not only be safe but also happy when staying with Kim, including lots of exercise and time outdoors! Don’t think twice about this option for your pet.”

“Julia is very friendly and responsive. My dog Russell did very well at her place. The location is a bit of a drive from Lancaster NH. She really helped me out when I needed a sitter for the festival.”

About: Hello everyone! I have cared for many pets in the past with my most recent being my new puppy moose! He is an almost 9-month-old mini Aussie. With this, I’ve gained a ton of knowledge about training along with the dreaded potty training. Moose is potty trained and was fully potty trained at 5-months-old. I would love to be able to train other puppies/ dogs and have playmates for moose! I am sure your fur baby will be in the best care possible! I work part time which is usually not more than 2-4 hours a day! This leaves plenty of time for me to walk, train, and play with your pups! All pups will need to be in my care for boarding or daycare before 11 a.m. and picked up before 6 p.m. This schedule can be adjusted as I have a very flexible work schedule! I have a very large yard, along with a very playful pup to keep your pup busy! All dogs in my care will be created if I am not home to ensure they are safe. With this, all dogs will never be crated for more than 2 hours at a time. At your home, I will follow any rules you wish to ensure your pup's safety.

“She was awesome with all of our dogs.”

About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.

“Max had a great time with Julia & Jason . . . he came home happy and tired! Beautiful surroundings and lots of hikes! Got updates & pix throughout his stay. Absolutely will use them again !!!”

“Simba was super happy when we picked him up. Whitney kept us updated with photos all weekend and her daughter was adorable with our dog which made us very happy!”

Katelyn D.

“Brittany was incredible with our fur babies! She updated us frequently with pictures and videos. She kept in constant contact. Drop off and pick up were both extremely easy and convenient. Anytime going forward, I’ll be using her services!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 15 years now. Briefly owning my own pet sitting and dog walking company many years ago before having children. My family and I have been fostering dogs for just over a year now and have had the joy of finding 6 dogs their forever homes. Now being a stay at home mom with some spare time on my hands, I’m looking to get into pet sitting and dog walking again to share the love of animals with my kiddos! Flexible availability as I am home most days all day. Mid mornings and early afternoons are best for walks. Overnight care in our home is available any day and night! We have 10 acres off a private road with ample space to run and enjoy walks. We also have an entirely fenced in yard for the dogs to romp as they please!

About: I promise to keep your fur baby safe and happy as can be while you're away. I will provide playtime, walks, cuddles and a lot of attention. I am very interactive and not afraid to be goofy in order to make a genuine connection with your pet. Don't be afraid to leave me detailed instructions- I get it and have fur and feathered babies of my own! I am able to walk up to 2 to 3 big dogs at a time and feel confident in my abilities to give commands and appropriate rewards/disciplines. If your pet(s) gets dirty, I will bathe them as well as clean up any messes that occur. I also will keep your home sweet home neat and tidy so you never come home to a mess. I have grown up with pets and have always owned one or two.. okay, maybe 3 at a time. I make genuine connections with animals (wild ones, too) and would love to give them the opportunity to get outside all season long (even in the winter). If your pet would like an adventure buddy and companion who will distract them from your absence then give me a shout. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns. I would be more than happy to chat with you!

About: Having been a pet owner for all my life, I am familiar with all sizes and temperaments of dog and cat breeds. I also have experience caring for bunnies, birds and livestock. I’m recently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My house is available if you need boarding or I can come to you. When your dog is in my care they will not be off-leash while outdoors unless you have a safe space for them, such as a fenced-in yard. They will get pets and cuddles, treats and exercise. I will follow your written instructions for their care and require your cell number as well as access to your vet.

About: My schedule is flexible so I'm able to spend time throughout the day with your fur baby. I'm active and happy to play fetch for hours! I like to take puppers for multiple walks and give lots of love and pets. The clients I sit for like the fact they can contact me last minute and I'm generally able to adjust my schedule to be available. My schedule changes from week to week but feel free to contact me to double check my availability no matter the season! I like when clients leave me detailed instructions on what their pets normal schedules are, that way there's less stress put on myself and on your fur friend! I'm able to work from home most days of the week, this allows me to be available for all pet needs - morning, lunch time, and after work walks are a part of my daily schedule when we have a dog to take care of. Lots of mental stimulation and training exercises throughout the day to keep them out of trouble helps too! I have a 9 year old cat in the house that tends to keep to herself in the bedroom when there's a dog around. Our home is on 5 acres of land with a big yard to do lots of sniffing around. I'm also located right on the rail trail for longer walks and adventures!
