Dog Boarding Rayside-Balfour

“Veronique and Dan were fab from first meeting through to the end of the sit. They obviously care a lot about the dogs they watch and have a great home and backyard to keep them safe. They were amazingly communicative, with special thanks to all the adorable photo updates that gave us peace of mind leaving them over a long weekend. Highly recommend!”

“I knew when I met Marilyn and her partner, that they were kind and trustworthy people. They took excellent care of Charlie. She sent updates with photos and was highly responsive. I highly recommend Marilyn!”

Jeanne-Claire S.

“Melina and her family were the perfect fit for my girls! I loved the updates on how they were doing and the funny pictures I’d get send during their stay with her family. I felt very comfortable leaving my pups with Melina and her very loving family! She went above and beyond when looking after my 2 girls and will book with her again for sure!”

“Jamie really helped me out. Scout and I were headed through Sudbury not planning to stop but an emergency event forced us to stay and I needed someone to board Scout on very little notice. Jamie was very kind to health and her and her daughter took good care Scout. I have to board a dog in Sudbury, I would definitely recommend Jamie.”

“Amber and Laura are wonderful with my girls! They have watched my girls twice now and each time, they come home happy and relaxed. My shepherd-mix is on the needier side with her anxiety and hot spots, and Amber/Laura were great about keeping her off of it and clean during her visits to help it heal! Both very loving and caring people who took my pets in as if they were their own while I was away. As someone who is reluctant/skeptical about leaving my fur babies in the care of others in general, they sent me videos and photos to update me on how my dogs are doing during their stay. I will for sure be using their services again in the future!”

“Our Lance enjoyed his stay with Kathy and her husband. They are amazing and wonderful people. We were so nervous leaving Lance with someone because of his struggles he had in life but….we worried for nothing. I stayed in contact with Kathy a few times a day and she was quick and eager to let us know how our baby was doing. We even got wonderful pictures. We would definitely recommend this amazing lady to anyone who needs a real caring, pet loving sitter. We will definitely be hiring Kathy again in the future when the need arises.”

“Izzy was a happy girl when we picked her up, definitely well cared for and loved. Dorothy sent us a picture and a note letting us know everything was good, Izzy was enjoying her get away. We will definitely bring our dog to Dorothy again should we need doggie overnight stay, and refer her to anyone who needs it. Fantastic!”

“We are very happy that Jett has been so well cared for. My husband was delighted each day as we received the pics of the walks and outside activities. He is even all pretty smelling with glossy fur! Thanks so much Cassandra.”

Randy S.

“Rachel was amazing. She accommodated at a last minute request to watch my Theo. He was happy, cared for and I felt super happy with being away for the weekend knowing he was in good hands, thank you! :)”

About: I’ve taken care of big dogs and little dogs for friends and family for many years. I have made sure their pets are walked, fed, bathed and have had tons of love while in my care. I work from home so am able to make sure the dogs in my care get lots of attention through the day and are walked daily as well We have a large unfenced yard perfect for play and also go on long walks daily. My dogs are crated at night so would prefer dogs who are crate trained. We have a loving home with lots of attention and play

“I was nervous leaving Meesha for the first time but felt better once I met Gloria. She replied right away when I asked how she was doing and sent a picture. Gloria and the kids tired Meesha right out during the weekend as she slept for several hours when she got home. I would definitely bring Meesha at Gloria’s again!”

Kathy C.

“So glad we found Meghan. It was last minute notice and she was so accommodating. She was great with the dogs kept us updated all weekend. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Briana was absolutely amazing! They took wonderful care of my dog, kept me updated regularly, and made sure my furry friend felt safe and loved the whole time. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend their services!”

About: I love dogs and have cared for them since childhood. I have adopted rescues and taken in puppies, both large breeds and small. Our family loves dogs of all sizes. I am at home full time for summer. I am free to take your pup on walks or to play fetch in our fenced yard! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your fur baby company - and dogs are allowed on our couches. We have two cats that keep to themselves and can be quartined in a seperate area if necessary. We are a smoke free home. I love animals and would enjoy having your pup in my home!

About: I had cats most of my life and a dog for 6 years (all rescues, all now deceased). I am a mature, reliable and caring 58 year old with a post-graduate degree and have chosen to dedicate my retirement to animals - pet sitting, volunteering, and animal advocacy work. I have a wide open schedule as I am retired with very few commitments. I love animals and want to dedicate all my available time to caring for them. I will spend time petting, playing, and feeding your fur baby as well as cleaning up after them. I'm also happy to water plants and take in mail or any other reasonable service that may be required.

About: I have grown up with cats and Golden Retrievers all my life. Most recently I had a Labradoodle Bruce. I did loose him to my EX but loved him dearly! I now have Mocha who is a 2 year old Simease. She is an absolute Doll! I have my kids who are both Teens around every second week and they will help with walks. Dogs wont be left alone for more then 4 hours at a time. I have a large home with a fenced deck. My yard is large and I am looking to fence in a section. I have alot of great greenspace out my door.

“Very friendly, very accommodating, absolutely pleasurable to communicate with, had a very lovely home and was very amazing to our pets!! amazing care of them and kept us updated!! Highly recommended and will definitely be rebooking!! if you’re not using her you’re missing out and your fur babies will thank you!!”

About: Located just 8 minutes north of Chelmsford; I have a lifetime of experience starting as a child on our farm with a variety of our four-legged friends including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs/hamsters (and some 2 legged friends - ducks & geese!) There has rarely been a time that we did not have animals in our home. I have and have had personal experience with 5 of our own canine seniors spanning over 35 yrs developing patience and empathy and adjusting to their stages of life throughout their lives. I am experienced with administration of medication, blindness, mobility restrictions and post-surgery care. In addition, I have Pet First Aid through Cdn Red Cross. In prior years, I have completed varying levels of obedience classes with all of our dogs as well as reactive training through the Sudbury Kennel Club with my GSD in his younger years. I carry those learnings and teachings in our daily interactions with all our pets to provide structure and a socially well behaved pet. Through the week, I work from home and at times in the community, but my flexibility can allow me to meet the scheduling needs of a pet parent when planned in advance. I don't mind last minute scheduling, since as we know life happens, if I am able to accommodate. Most importantly, I can be present and attentive to provide positive interaction, care and playtime for your fur baby. I am situated in a rural setting on several acres with a large amount of groomed yard and acreage away from the road. The main floor of my home is open for free roam. I offer a soft crate that remains open, to provide comfort and security if your pet has anxiety about being somewhere other than home and if you would like to make it available to your baby. My home is quiet and calm where they will have a great place to relax and carry on at their own pace.

“I greatly appreciated Helena’s fast response to my last minute request for pet sitting. Her house is well set up for dog boarding and my dog was immediately at ease. Her dog Max was friendly to our dog and I could see they were going to have a fun visit together. Heena made sure to get the details about our dog’s habits and our wishes. There was a long lead and clothesline to allow the dogs to explore and play outside. It will be a great off lease area once the final piece of fence is installed. Heena was a pleasant host with whom I felt confident leaving our 2 yr old dog.”
