“Joesph did a great job taking care of our Great Pyrenees. She was happy to get dropped off and happy when we picked her up. We will definitely be using Joseph again in the future.”
About: Being a long time animal lover, I love spending my time walking and training dogs. I’ve worked at various animal hospitals, doggy daycares, and boarding facilities. I am willing to travel, and it would be a great perk if my 3 year old lab could come play or walk with your pup as well! My schedule is very flexible. I am willing to travel, and am open to schedule changes to work with your needs as well. I can do holidays as well as weekends with a planned notice. All I want is for your pet to feel comfortable and have a great time playing and/or going for a walk. Engaging shy/fearful dogs with toys and treats is always a great way to earn trust.
“We’ve boarded our two dogs with Heather several times now and we couldn’t be happier! The dogs clearly love spending time with Heather and her family. They’re always so excited when we drop them off. Our girls come home safe, happy and healthy. So grateful to have found a dog sitter we can trust. Thank you!!!”
“Greta provided great care for our 11 month old puppy. She has a wonderful property for active dogs and takes them on several walks a day. She was very communicative throughout our pets stay and provided pictures and updates several times a day. We would not hesitate to use her services again. Thank you for the care.”
About: My name is Ben and I live with my wife, Laura, in Canaan. I work from home and we are both available as needed throughout the day to provide close supervision, companionship and outdoor time for your pet. We grew up with a lot of pets, and have always loved being around dogs especially. We have had several Saint Bernards in the past and are comfortable with large dogs. Whatever the shape or size, we look forward to getting to know your pet and giving them the best care we can provide. We are happy to host and are flexible to travel, both weekdays and weekends. Looking forward to hearing from you! Availability 7 days/week with flexible work hours. Can travel to your home and stay overnight if needed as well as take out for walks during the day. Our house is spacious and comfortable with a large yard and surrounding areas to take for walks. Will follow instructions carefully to best accommodate different needs.
“Our dog Gus had a wonderful stay with Sam and Thomas. We got regular updates and photos. Gus is an older dog and they took great care of him. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.”
“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”

“Diana was great! I had a pretty last-minute need for boarding, which she graciously accommodated, and was flexible about schedules to boot. We did a meet and greet and I could tell immediately that she is a person who really loves dogs. I felt a million times better while I was away knowing that my dogs were with someone who would give them love and good care. ”
“Susan & John are fantastic, they took great care of Oliver. He loved playing with Emily and all her toys. We’ll definitely be back for more doggie play dates!! Thankful for Sue being so flexible with late notice and timing.”
“Five stars hands-down. Isabella and her family took amazing care of our dog. She sent us tons of pics, and it was clear that Potato, for that weekend, was considered a member of her family. It was a bonus that she came home super tired and played-out ?. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great home-away-from-home for their dog. Thank you Isabella!”
“Our pup has stayed with Ashley and her family twice now. Ashley is great! She sends sweet updates, photos, and videos if you want. My dog was so happy to see her he didn't even care that I was dropping him off. My dog likes kids and other dogs, so her household is all fun for him. They took great care of him, and we will use them again for sure!”
About: I've been trusted to take care of multiple types of dogs since ~age 10! I am an animal lover at heart, and I've had many different animals throughout my lifetime, including an African Pgymy Hedgehog. I pride myself on providing top-notch care in all aspects, ensuring your dog is comfortable in my home, feels safe, is well taken care of, and having fun! I work from home so I will have plenty of time to devote toward caring for your fur baby! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks, medications and meals as scheduled, as well as love and treats throughout the day! Can also provide anything else your pup may require. I have a fenced in grass back yard with a pool, as well as an unfenced grass front yard area. I have a dog of my own, a 2.5 yr old cattle dog/lab mix named Zelda who is extremely friendly, intelligent, and high energy. Although she does have the ability to be chill as well! At our home, we typically enjoy some exercise in the morning such as a walk in the woods, followed by mid-morning nap time, then later in the afternoon, play time with jolly balls or tennis balls, or swimming in our fenced in backyard pool area/ playing in the hose if your pup so desires. Evening usually consist of another walk along with treats and relaxing on the couch. I also have a large crate that can be set up as needed.
“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”
