Doggy Day Care in Center Rutland

“Kevin watched our pug for two days while we attended the Quechee Balloon Festival. He was incredibly flexible with our plans and let us stay out much longer than originally planned. Our pup had a good time, evidenced by the 2nd day when we dropped him off and he ran right to Kevin! The other dogs were a bit noisy and inquisitive but settled right down so it wasn’t a problem. Kevin sent a few photos and video which we much appreciated. If we were in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with Kevin once again.”

“I really appreciated Hope’s willingness to take on my pup for the day while I was visiting from out of state and wanted to explore VT. I picked up a happy and exhausted dog from a fun day of playing! Would definitely recommend.”

“Tom, Ember, and pack were great as always! We have been sending Callie a few times a week now for about a month and she comes home happy and tired every time. Callie and Ember have become best friends and will continue to send Callie to Tom’s as often as possible! The best!”

“Cannot say enough good things about Sarah, Ben, and their adorable pup Bean! They took such good care of our puppy while we skied. She got to play all day with another dog and snuggle in between! She came home to us exhausted and happy :) Sarah and Ben sent updates throughout the day and included lots of photos which we loved! Could not recommend them enough!!”

“Alyssa has watched my puppy a few times and I can’t recommend her enough. He’s always so happy and tired when I pick him up. He loves playing with her dog Simba so it’s also bonus socialization.”

About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.

“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”

“Exceptionally kind, also exceptionally diligent, trustworthy and conscientious. My dog returned home happy and exhausted. 😊 I instantly trusted him based off his profile and felt even more comfortable once meeting. I was completely right: this is who you want to board your dogs 😊”

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.

“Zach is incredible!! A true dog whisperer. I have left my 4 month old puppy, Goose, with Zach a few times and he takes such wonderful care of him. My pup is a little nervous around people and other dogs but seems to absolutely thrive with Zach and Alfie. I received frequent updates, pictures and videos which made me feel so at ease. I’m so grateful for the care and affection that he gives Goose! Looking forward to more visits in the future! 🐶💕”

“Lorrie was fantastic! Jiminy had a great time and I he really loved her immediately! It was wonderful to have time to take a college tour and not worry about him. Definitely would use her again!”

Vicky H.

“Where to begin? Everything was amazing from start to finish. It’s the most comforting feeling to have someone you love (our pup) being left in safe hands. Kasey truly loves what she does and absolutely loves taking care of our little furry ones. It truly shows. We most definitely will be back since we frequent Vermont bi-annually. Thank you for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

“Grace was great! Fast communication and super friendly. My dog was instantly comfortable around her, and I appreciated the pictures I got during her stay with Grace. My dog was definitely tired when I picked her up after a day with Grace!”

About: I work remotely for an international development organization based in DC. My schedule is flexible, leaving me plenty of time to spend outdoors with some new furry friends! I have always loved taking care of dogs and come from a large, dog-owning family. I have extensive experience dog walking and sitting both small and large breeds, from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Labs to Bernese Mountain Dogs! I currently own a 4 year old white shepherd named Storm who loves to walk and play with other dogs. I am open to taking our pups on walks together, on trail hikes, or to the dog park. Available for daily walks, drop in visits, and dog sitting. I look forward to meeting you! Also open to discussing boarding in our home, pending meet and greet with my dog Storm. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible when taking care of dogs. Happy to work with you on a recurring schedule, or for one-time walks/visits! I work remotely full-time from home and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog, Storm, out for short (less than 30 min) and longer walks (over 1 hour) 2-3 times a day. We also enjoy using nearby trails, as well as the trails on our property. I currently live in a farmhouse in Royalton. There is no fenced in area, but we have trails on our property for dogs to walk (on leash) or run (depending on your comfort and their recall).

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for my entire life. Currently, I own a small 9lb rescue, who is 11 yrs old. In the past, I have owned medium and large dogs as well, including beagles, labs, retrievers. I have professionally and personally walked and fed dogs for neighbors and friends, our furry ones are the very best!! I am a self-employed yoga instructor, with a flexible schedule. With this flexibility, I can accommodate most days and times, both weekdays and weekends. I am organized, punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I really enjoy walking every day and it's always better with a dog! My dog, Bodhi, fetches sticks in our backyard and stills plays like a puppy, even at 11yrs old! I take him hiking regularly, as well as to the surrounding parks, which are numerous and all within walking distance from where I live.
