Pet Boarding in Canaan

“Rocket loves going to Mellysa’s and playing with her sweet puppies! She sends the best updates, and obviously goes above and beyond to care for Rocket. She gives me peace of mind!”

“Larry was awesome! He took great care of Luigi and was accommodating when I had to stay an extra night out of town. Will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you so much.”

“Our dog had a fabulous stay with Mahayla! Since it was our first time, Mahayla offered to come to our home to get to know our pup before caring for her the next day. They hit it off immediately and Mahayla explained her background in animal/dog behavior studies and reassured us that all would go well... and it did! Our pup had a blast trail hiking and also just relaxing at Mahayla's home. Mahayla clearly understands and loves dogs, and it was clear that she was focused on our dog's enjoyment, comfort level and care. She was also focused on our needs as the owners. Leading up to care day she was extremely responsive. On care day she sent photos and updates. A perfect stay...thanks, Mahayla!”

“My boys were well taken care of because while they were happy to see us, they didn't seem afraid. Robin was so good with communication and the video she sent made me feel so at ease. They were so accommodating for the last minute request due to a very sad time in our family. If they would have us again in the future, I would definitely feel comfortable leaving the boys with them. Thank You so much.”

“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”

“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”

Stephanie D.

“My 2-year-old black Lab (Luna) had a great time with Emmaly, her daughter, and her happy puppy (Jack) when we went away for a week in October. Lots of room to run around in the backyard, and lots of time to play in Emmaly's basement on rainy days! We got lots of photos every day, as well as a short video showing what was happening. Emmaly wrote us a daily review, and gave our girl a place where she was loved & looked after. We'd use her again, without reservation.”

Darrin C.

“Kevin N. went above and beyond to make me and my pets more comfortable about being apart. My first rover sitter, will book his services again!”

Ivan D.

“Laura was great with our two older dogs! She gave them meds and fed a special diet. Most importantly, she handled their stress reactions to being boarded for the first time with a new person”

Catherine J.

“Darcy was fantastic with my dog, Blaze! Her own dog is so sweet and Blaze had a wonderful time. I got updates and pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely be using Darcy as a sitter again!”

Rosemary F.

“Peter was such a wonderful sitter. His updates were timely and detailed and I felt confident that Nutmeg was cared for, happy, and healthy during her stay. I will definitely ask Peter to sit again if I’m ever in the area again.”

Jana P.

“Franny and her husband were absolutely wonderful!! They took extra great care of our pup! I highly recommend. It was soo convenient being right down the road from camp Pontiac, where we attended a wedding.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, and cats my whole life, I have over 22 years experience. I’m very attentive, I like to keep everything according to their regular routine/schedule, I have a lot of experience with pets who have separation anxiety, medical issues, providing medications, extra care, etc. Patience is key to bonding, and gaining trust with fur babies. I always give fur babies space to come to me since I’m the one in their safe zone, and don’t want them to feel threatened at all. I am a very quiet person, I love to read books, and am currently studying consumer law. I would love to have a meet and greet so clients get the chance to know me, to be able to see from my interaction with your fur babies if I would be a great pick to take care of your pets, along with answering any questions you may have. I tend to ask a lot of questions so I can have all the information I need to be able to take great care of your pets. I also provide status updates to include pictures, videos, etc. during my bookings so clients can feel more at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I can also provide references if needed. I have a lot of law enforcement clients along with friends of theirs who were referred to me by them. Your pets will always be safe, this is promise I never break. I also love to clean (I’m Asian lol), I take care of the mail, take care of trash/recycling when it needs to be taken out, and brought back in. I always leave the house the way I saw it upon arrival. I also will stay with your babies till you get home so you can see your pets are happy, and healthy, and to be able to see your home is in excellent condition. I don’t mind staying even if it’s past the time since delays can happen from car issues, flight delays, etc. so this way you don’t have to worry about your babies since I will stay till you come home, and answer any questions you may have before I leave, I never charge extra for that since that’s my policy, and anything could happen if I were to leave. I look forward to hearing from you, to our meet? & greets. I promise you won’t be disappointed ☺️ This is my only job so I’m available 24/7 to take great care of tint fur babies, to be able to tend to their needs, to be able to supervise them constantly, to be able to provide love, cuddles, and care. I’m also available on short notice I am able to stay at clients houses when house sitting, and never leave the house so I can ensure their safety, I can provide credible references, I send a lot of status updates, I encourage clients to FaceTime at anytime if they would like to see their fur babies, I like to ask a lot of questions during meet and greets so I can go over everything, get all the information I need so I can take great care of your pets, keep them safe, comfortable, and I am patient since it takes time to gain animals trust.

“I left my dog with Amanda just for one night and I couldn’t have been happier. My energetic dog, Zeus immediately got along with her dog, Enzo and they got to play in her nice fenced in yard. He was definitely able to get his energy out there, he came home exhausted. As soon as I dropped him off there I felt a sense of comfort. I knew that I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend Amanda:)”

“Amy and her family were fabulous. They made Takoda feel right at home. Takoda enjoyed making new friends, the walks and sleeping on the couch. Amy was very responsive and provided updates so we knew it was all going well. It was a wonderful experience for us and Takoda. We will definitely board Takoda with Amy again.”

Alexcia A.

“We boarded our two dogs with Diana this past week. Both of the dogs are rescues and bit skiddish around people, so we met for a brief meet & greet prior to the boarding date with her dog. The dogs got along great. I felt comfortable knowing that Diana has had a lot of experience caring for dogs - she provided good updates to throughout their stay and was very responsive. I would highly recommend and would use her services in the future!”

“Lori was a life saver! We had to book on very short notice and Lori took our 2 dogs into her home for the weekend. They were incredibly cared for in a safe home. Lori sent us updates on their well-being and they came home happy.”

Carleen H.

“I had an amazing experience with Caitlin and her family. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive they were with my dog. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. You can tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet”

“It was my first time leaving Mookie with Marisa for a week and I’m glad I did. She did really take care of him and even sent me some pics to keep me updated, and he seems very comfortable. That really put me at ease during my trip. Thank you so much Marisa!”

Christie K.

“Logan took such good care of my puppy during her first time away from home and communicated with me throughout her stay. He shared videos and photos and it was clear she was treated very well and was having a blast. She loved his dog, too, which was a great added bonus. We will definitely be back!!”
