Dog Boarding in Calais, VT

“Shannon was amazing with our pup! She clearly loves animals and made sure to ask about our dog’s needs and preferences. Even with a personal emergency, she communicated and made sure everything worked out. Would happily book her again!”

“Sullivan had a wonderful time with Samantha, he seemed very happy when we picked him up and exhausted from all the fun he had while we were gone. Samantha was very detailed when we picked him up with how he behaved which showed us that he was an active member in their family while we were away. We will be booking again! Thanks Samantha for taking care of him!”

“Piper was an excellent host for Teddy! They took lots of long walks and went swimming in the local pond. Piper gave him lots of attention and sent great pictures of him having fun. She wrote long notes about what they did and how Teddy was doing several times during his week-long stay. Teddy will definitely go back there for more fun when we need a dog sitter 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”

“Colby was great. My dog was well taken care of, loved being a part of the pack from the small to the large dogs and lots of pictures and updates were sent. I felt great leaving my big pup at Colby's home for the weekend and we will board Domino with her again.”

“Hannah and her family took great care of Bailey while we were gone. If we should venture away again, we will definitely use Hannah again to watch Bailey.”

“Barbara and Darryll were terrific! Flexible and communicative, with frequent updates and photos. They were patient with my anxious dog, Betty, and she warmed up to them quickly. I can tell she had a good stay. Highly recommend!”

“Dana is amazing. You can always count on her to be responsible, attentive and caring to to all four legged friends. I will always trust my pets with her. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Kelly was super awesome with Prada I loved how she kept me informed with Prada while I was on vacation she even sent me pictures of her! She followed all instructions I sent for Prada as well! She will most definitely be my go to when I need a sitter for Prada again ?”

“We were in from out of town for a wedding, and weren’t able to meet before dropping our dog off. But Meghan instantly made us feel comfortable! She asked questions about how to best take care of our pup, and provided updates during Knox’s stay. Would definitely recommend booking with Meghan!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Parker had a wonderful time at Brittany's! He loved having his own room and felt completely comfortable. Definitely a great relaxing stay for him! Thanks!”

“It was a blessing to have found Gwynn to babysit our precious fur baby. Shadow is a very picky dog and from the first day we did a meet and greet we knew Shadow would be in great hands. Not only is Gwynn compassionate and genuinely a caring person, but her fur baby Meatball welcomed Shadow into her house with open paws. Gwynn sent us videos, pictures, and daily updates which made us very happy to see how well Shadow was doing. When we came to pick her up she was very upset to leave Gwynn and Meatball because she was having the time of her life. Overall, we're very happy to have a reliable, caring, and overall amazing person as a sitter for our Shadow.”

“Liz saved the day and agreed to watch our pup for 5 days. I cannot recommend Liz highly enough! Our pup had the most wonderful time and they cared for him like their own. Their house is puppy paradise and their dogs were the perfect companions for our lil guy. If you’re looking for a safe and loving home away from home for your pets, they’re fantastic. They also took care to get to know our dog’s needs ahead of time, with comprehensive questionnaires and a meet and greet.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone needing boarding or daycare for their doggie crew. I initially made boarding reservations for my two dogs, but plans changed when a 75 pound rescue came into my life. Kim was willing to board my entire crew of 3. Kim is conscientious, kind, patient, and accommodating. (One of my girls is sometimes uncomfortable walking on hardwood floors, even with trimmed nails. Kim put out yoga mats and a runner to help her feel more comfortable.) I would not hesitate to recommend her and Moose.”

“Lillian is a super responsible, conscientious and trustworthy individual who has a special connection with animals - both large and small. She has expertly cared for her own pets - dogs and guinea pigs - for many years and has taken care of other pet owners’ cats and dogs on multiple occasions.”

“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”

“Maria provided exceptional care for our two large dogs. Prior to her and her dog, Lalo, 10 day stay at our house, Maria was gracious to meet us to introduce our dogs to Lalo. Cooper has IBD and severe allergies. Sometimes this makes him more irritable and reactive to other dogs. Generally, the concern is more with large dogs but Lily and Cooper have not been walked or had other dogs in their home in a few years. Maria has a very calm demeanor and is well versed in dog language. All introductions went well and her dog Lalo is well socialized and trained. We consider Lily and Cooper more 'needy' due to health issues. Maria was great at maintaining their routine with multiple feedings per day and a daily walk outing. The walk outings were 'above and beyond' as Lily and Cooper need to be leash walked. Maria provided daily photos and updates and is a really positive person. These updates made our vacation relaxed and worry free. In the past our dogs have exhibited some separation anxiety. When we returned home, they were happy and obviously had been groomed. If needed, we would enthusiastically book Maria again to care for Lily and Cooper.”

“My dog Russell stayed with Julia and she was flexible about the extending the stay. She sent me some lovely action shots of him enjoying himself. I feel confident that he is well taken care of there.”
