Dog Boarding Canterbury

“Heather was amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone overnight and she made us so comfortable and confident that he was well cared for for the entire weekend. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Excellent sitters for my dog! Great communication before and during stay. They were thoughtful and intentional with the care they provided. I will definitely ask for their help again in the future!”

About: Hi there! I'm Robyn. I am an active, outdoorsy person based in Concord who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. I love exploring the neighborhood, hitting local trails, and making sure every dog gets the exercise and stimulation they deserve. I've grown up around dogs my whole life, and my family's Goldendoodle has been my greatest teacher when it comes to patience, play, and attentive care. As for availability, I work remotely, which means I have real flexibility throughout the week to accommodate your schedule. Whether you need a consistent midday walk or something more spontaneous, I'm able to make it work. Your dog won't be rushed, they'll get my full attention for every minute of our time together. I take pet care seriously and know how much trust it takes to hand your dog's leash to someone new. I'm committed to clear communication, reliable scheduling, and always sending you home with a happy, tired pup. Can't wait to meet your furry family member! Pet care has always been a big part of my daily life. I grew up with my family Goldendoodle where I walked, fed and played everyday. Even though I don’t have a dog right now since I’ve moved away from home, I still love being around animals and make time for long walks and outdoor time every day. I work a remote job so taking care of pets easily fits into my routine because it’s something I truly enjoy and miss doing regularily. When I walk dogs, I want to make sure they get both exercise and enrichment. I want to keep the pups walks safe, consistent, and fun, paying attention to their comfort, hydration and any cues they give me.

“Faustine was great! There were some expected changes with the booking at the last minute (not her fault), and she communicated well and was flexible in order to make everything still happen. We'll definitely be using her services again! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furbaby, Faustine! 😊”

“Per usual, Nataliya and her family make Rufus feel very much at home. He loves his time with them. We get daily pictures which is so wonderful! Nataliya is awesome!”

“Jessica was the best! My pup had so much fun, played every day, and was on his own little vacation! Jessica also kept me up to date with photos and videos throughout his entire stay and I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about my pup at all- he was in very loving hands.”

“Enzo can be a shy guy and a little nervous but Lauren did everything to make him feel comfortable including checking in with me, which I truly appreciate. He came home happy and tired and we would use Lauren again!”

About: I have 1 dog of my own and love caring for yours while you're away! I have many years of pet sitting experience and have been very involved with several pet rescue groups. I am very comfortable administering medications and with any other special requests. Can't wait to meet your 4 legged family member! I am an educator and am off for holidays and the summer. I work during the day, but am available for early morning or afternoon/evening visits Mon-Fri and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and will treat yours like they're my own! I would love to take your dog for a special outing. I am very responsible and will send regular updates while you're away. As far as boarding in my home, it would be best if it is an older dog with a relaxed temperament. My dog is very sweet, but puppies stress her out. :) I am currently off for the summer, so I am home all day. I can work around your pup's schedule and will have lots of time to spend with them! I live at the lake and there are lots of great places to walk close by. If your dog loves swimming, there is a beach within walking distance. I am off on weekends and holidays, so I have lots of time for your pup! My dog goes everywhere with me, so I'll love spending time with yours! I live alone with my dog, so I have lots of time and attention to give. I am off during the summer and on holidays, so they can go out as much as needed!

“Donna was wonderful. Our dog Polly stayed for a long weekend and she had a great time. Donna sent pictures throughout the weekend and sent updates about Polly’s stay. We will definitely use her again. Thank you!”

“Christy did a great job with Zoey! Took her on a couple hikes and gave her lots of loves while we were gone! Zoey is on simple medications and she did them without issue. We are very thankful and will recommend her to many people and will bring her back to Christy when we need it 🥰”

Cody B.

“Grace was amazing! She was able to accommodate our dog's personality quirks and we were able to rest easy while Basil stayed with her. She was kind and attentive and gave updates on how our pup was doing. Thanks to Grace we were able to fully relax and enjoy the family wedding we were in town for! I only wish we lived closer so she could be our regular pet sitter!”

Claire R.

“Thank you Ashley for everything! My dog Winston stayed with Ashley this past week and she was excellent. She made me feel very confident that she cared and loved my dog while I was away. She was flexible and willing to work with my dog's special needs. She was in constant contact and sent photos on the regular. Her home was clean and had a great yard for my dog. I highly recommend Ashley :) THANK YOU!”

About: I’ve taken care of and owned dogs my entire life. I grew up with a 20lb Cockapoo named Bentley, and have had my lovely Lady (a 4 year old husky/cur mix with lots of energy) for 3 years now. I am a formidable and patient obedience trainer and can help train up any dog on how to walk properly, come, sit, and other basic commands. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and am proactive about the safety and comfortability of the dogs I encounter. I can handle everything from gentle older doggos to young energetic pups. I am going to be leaving to join the US Army in late December, and decided that with the time I have left at home I want to be able to enjoy it. I currently work an overnight shift for the post office and would love for this to be the job that is able to support me before I leave for basic training. I love to get outside and play with my dog, I figured this would be an awesome way to spend my time, and help out some fellow dog owners along the way! I keep the safety of my animals paramount, whether that’s driving in the car or walking down the road, I am always keen and proactive when it comes to safety.

“Our dog had a blast, got lots of good exercise and was well cared for. The photo updates were a nice bonus! Althea was always quick to respond, which added peace of mind.”

Lennon R.

“I’m am so glad we found you! My baby had so much fun with your family. She slept the whole night, which is not the usual for her. She usually wakes me up at 3/4 in the morning to play before I go to work. I would definitely recommend Michelle!”

Ebony K.

“I always worry that Cheese comes on a little too excited when she first meets people, but Dalyce seemed super prepared. Cheese came in for the meet and greet and after a good sniff laid down to chew on one of the toys she provided for visiting pups. Communication was great and she sent lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”

Chelsea A.

“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!”

Grace C.

“This is the first time we used Rover and I was a nervous dog mom for sure! One of the things that I appreciated the most was every time I emailed Leilani, she would get back to me right away. She provided pictures and updates and took great care of our senior golden and our puppy, who had just had surgery a week before his stay with her. Thank you Leilani!”

About: I have been dog sitting for my granddogs for over 10 years. I enjoy their company and snuggles. I am retired and love the company of dogs. I am home most days and have a flexible schedule. I have time to walk your dog and give them lots of love and snuggles. I have my granddog Monday-Friday. He and I go on little hikes when the weather is good. I brush him weekly and give him lots of attention.

About: I am a responsible, reliable, and intuitive dog lover, who will care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of showing up when scheduled and tailoring the service to your dog's individual needs. I grew up with family dogs since birth, and have cared for my own dogs over the past 20 years. I started my own professional dog walking and sitting business in 2018. I have experience with many different breeds, ages, and abilities. Through my dog walking business, I also have extensive experience walking small groups of dogs off-leash in nature. If you are interested in this service, I have two female golden retrievers who would be thrilled to join your dog on an adventure hike, providing enrichment, socialization, fun, and lots of exercise! I've recently relocated to Strafford, NH so I'm looking forward to building my clientele in a new area! I serve the Southern Lakes Region of NH. Please note: -Boarding and Sitting Nightly Rates include potty breaks in the morning and evening, as well as a 30 minute drop-in visit or private walk midday. Additional time for the midday walk, adventure hikes, or additional walks may be added on at a discounted rate. Dog care is my full-time job and life! Drop-In Visits & Walks: I'm available Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm, for walks and drop-in visits, with some after-hours availability on an as-needed basis (please note, after hours requests may incur an additional fee). Overnight Sitting & Boarding: Available 7 days/week. Since I care for many dogs during the week, your dog may be hanging out at home for a period of time while I walk other dogs or run errands. Other than that, I'll be home with your dog! Your dog will be treated the same as my dogs, and that means they will be the center of my attention! Boarding: This is a very calm and quiet household (with the exception of some barking) - no kids. My two female golden retrievers (2yrs & 10yrs) are allowed on our couches, so yours would be too if you allow it. Your dog is welcome to sleep in my husband's and my bedroom, or downstairs in the living room/kitchen if they prefer a cool tile/wood floor. Free-range dogs are welcome and crate training is not required unless your dog is destructive or unsafe when left unattended. Please bring your dog's crate if needed, as well as their bed, food, and any other items they may need. We have a fenced in yard to let them out for potty-breaks and to play with each other as well. Overnight Sitting: I have many years of experience staying in clients' homes with their dogs. In addition to caring for your dog(s), I'm happy to take in mail/packages and water house plants. If you want, I can even bring one or both of my dogs with me to provide socialization and companionship.
