Pet Boarding Beacon Falls

“I am so fortunate and grateful to have picked Marilyn to watch over our dog Peanut. When Peanut became sick, Marilyn took extraordinary steps to help her that I could never have expected. She was super supportive and communicative, sharing photos and updates every day! Peanut is recovering very well thanks to Marilyn's excellent care. Marilyn is the best boarder we have worked with and I would love for Peanut to stay with her again. Your dog will be safe and wonderfully cared for in her hands. 5 stars and A+ experience! Thank you so much Marilyn!”

About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.

“Sue was great. Really patient and accommodating. My pup was returned to me happy and healthy. Her husband was also very nice and they both seemed very confident and comfortable with my pup who’s a 48lb pittie. Thank you Sue and Franky. We appreciated your care and attention to our fur baby. Sue also sent regular selfies of the pup and was quick to reply to messages.”

“Klaudia took Ridley on super short notice, was incredibly flexible to changes, and provided my pup a fantastic environment. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Ariel was great. Our dog is very energetic either on chasing a ball or off resting. Ariel gave her just what she needed. Also Andie done how came home smelling great!”

“Meghan took great care of Murphy. She kept me updated daily with adorable pictures. Murphy is often anxious and she did a great job making him feel at ease.”

Christine C.

“Rusa and her family were so wonderful to our doggy. Our dog has had anxiety with previous boarders but she became so comfortable with Rusa and her family very quickly. Rusa also gave daily updates with photos, even cleaned our doggy’s eyes, and put booties on her paws when it snowed to protect her from the salt in streets. She was very communicative and trustworthy. Highly recommend.”

Zey H.

“Jillian was amazing. Took Finn last minute and provided amazing care. She updated us frequently and sent lots of photos. Would definitely rebook!!”

Sarah C.

“Tina was great! She was flexible on timing, very communicative, sent great pictures of our dog, and he came home happy. Would recommend her highly and look forward to using her in the future.”

About: There really isn’t anything that sets me apart from other sitters. Since I was young I grew up watching my dog, taking care of my dog, training him to be a good sprit. I’m very good with animals and love dogs with my life I currently don’t have a job, but I am seeking one. But in the meantime I would be available everyday to dog sit until a certain point in time where I find my job I can easily mind the animal. we will have a lot of things to do and won’t be bored. Constantly making sure the animal is fed, walked, played with etc

“Finding a sitter you truly trust is hard, but Will made it easy. He is remarkably friendly and provided the highest level of loving care for our Moe. I was also so grateful for their flexibility and understanding when plans changed. It’s such a relief to leave your pet with someone who genuinely cares. High recommend! My dog absolutely loves him, and I will definitely be booking again. Will is the absolute best choice! Thank you.”

“Lindy had such a great time with Laurie's family, both human and canine. She had so many friends to play with and got even better exercise than she normally does at home - she's looking forward to seeing them all again!”

Gordon K.

“Our dog Maple absolutely loves staying with Kate, Jeremy, and their kids. We always receive consistent updates and she comes home exhausted. They’re one of our favorite sitters for her.”

Margaret C.

“Kat was absolutely great! She has a large yard for champ to walk around in and a comfortable room for him to stay in. She communicates well and kept us updated our entire trip with messages and photos. Champ seemed to have a great time and was well taken care of with Kat. We definitely recommend her and hope to have Kat take care of our dog again.”

“Sherry provided wonderful care for Denver and Bronco while we were away for 11 days. She spoiled them so much and allowed our family to truly relax and enjoy our vacation.”

Danielle R.

“We love, love, love Lily and her whole family, including Speedy. Our dog Flynn is so happy they’re running and playing and feeling like he’s at his home away from home. We can’t recommend Lily enough!”

Ashley R.

“Margaret and Mojo were great for Remy. He got lots of exercise both inside an approximately acre fenced in front lawn and on long walks in the nearby woods. From the pictures Margaret sent (and how much he slept afterwards), Remy enjoyed his stay. I appreciated Margaret’s canine expertise, thoughtfulness and preparedness. The house is very dog friendly.”

Lucy M.

“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”

Joseph R.

“My little ones had their very first overnight stay with Rachel and Luna, and it was a wonderful experience! They enjoyed daily walks, plenty of snuggle time, and lots of playtime with their favorite toys. They came home happy, relaxed, and well-rested. Thank you, Rachel and Luna, for taking such great care of them!”

Nicole Y.

“Terragaye was great with my dog, Macie. She responded quickly to my texts and sent updates with pics. I was very happy with Terragaye’s quality of care. I’d use her again!”
