Pet Boarding in Canaan

“Kaelan was a great sitter! We received photos daily . Kealan took Phillup out for rides which he loves and he got lots of affection. I don’t think he missed us at all. Highly recommend Kaelan! Will definitely use again!”

“We needed someone to board our 5-year-old pup over Thanksgiving weekend, and we were lucky to find Tetiana. She was a dream to work with! She was very accommodating and communicative (we received updates and photos every day), and her house was very calm and clean. Best of all, she really cares about animals and went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable. We look forward to working with her again soon!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and began attending dog training sessions with my parents when I was just six years old. From age 6 to 16, I learned more than just commands—I learned how to connect with dogs, understand their behavior, and earn their trust. My mom always believed it was important to understand how dogs think, and that’s shaped how I care for animals today. Now, I share my home with Gracie, my sweet golden retriever, and two lovable female cats. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me how to balance different personalities and routines, and I love every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve dog-sat for friends and truly enjoy caring for all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pup is playful, shy, high-energy, or a senior in need of some extra TLC, I’ll be there with patience, respect, and lots of love. I genuinely believe dogs are better than people—so your pet will be treated like family while you're away. I'm comfortable with all breeds, offer dog walking and overnight stays, and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. During the week, I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m completely open on weekends and available on all major holidays. Whether you’re headed out of town or just need someone to stop in and give your pup a walk or cuddle, I’ve got you covered. I have a fully fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, but I never leave any dog unattended outside—supervision is always a must, even in a secure space. I believe in providing a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I share my home with my golden retriever, Gracie, who is super friendly and loves making new doggy friends. I also have two sweet female cats. All of my pets are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, and used to sharing their space calmly and respectfully. Whether your dog is staying for a visit or just dropping by for playtime, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be safe, supervised, and treated like part of the family.

“Mary and Todd are the absolute best dog sitters! Their great care for our dog Toby gives us a lot of peace of mind. We know he is having a great time — it shows in the photos that Mary sends to us throughout his stay.”

“My dog didn’t want to come home! My communication and logistical coordination with Candice was super easy, accommodating, and professional. She took excellent care of my loved one. She is great and highly recommended.”

“My dog had a great time staying with MJ and her family. I wasn’t worried about him while he was with them and they were great at sending photos and keeping me updated. I would definitely book with them again!”

Kayla G.

“Jaylese is a fantastic sittter! She was always very prompt with responses, and proactively texted with updates and pictures multiple times throughout the day. She’s one of those sitters who allow you to travel without your pets and be totally worry-free about their safety and comfort. I would highly recommend Jaylese for your pet-care needs!”

“Maria has watched our senior lab twice - one with home visits and once boarding. Both times we returned home to a happy healthy dog. She is very thoughtful and always has our dog’s best interest in mind. We will continue to use her as a great alternative to the kennnel.”

“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”

“Dieleidy did a great job with my little dog! She sent pics and video and had a wonderful energy with my pup. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Ashley — a lifelong dog lover and trainer with over 23 years of experience in rescue, rehabilitation, fostering, and behavioral support. From puppies to seniors, shy dogs to leash-reactive ones, I’ve cared for them all. I currently live seasonally on a peaceful campground through November, which offers dogs plenty of enrichment with long nature walks, social interaction, and lots of time outdoors (weather permitting). I’m accepting: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Doggy day care (1-2 dogs only) • Boarding (1 dog at a time, up to 80 lbs) As a stay-at-home dog mom living on a seasonal campground, pet care is built into my daily life. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and doggy day care. Your pup will enjoy outdoor time, structure, and plenty of attention alongside my sweet and well-trained dog, Delilah. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and structured environment at our spacious, private corner campsite with no immediate neighbors — ideal for dogs who need peace, space, and freedom to relax. The location also allows for easy, stress-free drop-off and pick-up. I have secure tie-outs, crates, and leashes to meet each dog’s unique needs. Whether your pup enjoys structured walks, lounging in the shade, or sniffing around camp, I offer a safe, enriching experience with plenty of mental stimulation. Dogs are never left unattended, and their boundaries are always respected. My setup is flexible and tailored to your dog’s temperament, energy level, and comfort with others. Whether we’re resting or exploring, your dog will be treated like one of my own.

“Samantha & Michael are OUTSTANDING!! They are very compassionate and understanding people!! We had a very unique situation, and they could not have done more for us to make us feel comfortable. Our 8 year old pup doesn’t always get along with other dogs. While visiting our family in New York for Christmas - we needed to find someone just for Christmas Day (about 9 hours - not over night) since there were going to be other dogs at the house we were at. Even though Samantha and Michael have 2 dogs of their own, they assured us that the way their house is set up (inside & outside) the dogs wouldn’t see each other and it wouldn’t be a problem at all, plus they shared that they’ve had experience with one of their own pups in years past not getting along with other animals or people. They even had baby gates if they needed to use them. And they were right!!! Everything was fine - no issues at all!!! They truly went above & beyond for us and our pup and we truly consider them our Christmas Angels!!! They sent pictures and texts throughout the day updating us, which really put us at ease and helped us enjoy our Christmas Day!! If you are in need of someone to take care of your special furry family member - look no further!!! We 100% will use Samantha and Michael again and very highly recommend them!!!”

“Taylor was incredible. I’m visiting Hudson NY and my dog was so unsettled in our rental that I couldn’t leave her alone. I had an even to attend and at the last minute I checked in with her to see if she was available. She responded quickly which would have allowed me to make alternative plans if she wasn’t avail. We met and she quickly put Trixie at ease. She has other dogs that are very happy in there environment and it helped Trixie calm down. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
