Dog Boarding in Charlestown

About: Trained and handled 26 sled dogs for an expedition outfitter in Alaska. Combined 50 year experienced dog owners with a large wooded yard for on and off leash time. We are outdoor oriented so your dog will have plenty of outdoor time. We work independently from home and have a flexible schedule. We can host with short notice and have the ability to integrate your dog in our daily life easily. We will include your dog into our family as we care for our own 11 year old small dog. We love hosting on our small off grid homestead!

“Joseph has been nothing short of wonderful in taking care of my mini-husky! They always send pictures of her so that I know she's doing okay. They were also very easy to work with in terms of pick up and drop off hours, which makes this an even more convenient option.”

“Kevin took Josie and Avi on short notice. His place seems ideal for dogs with a nice long walking loop. The dogs seemed right at home in the picture Kevin sent while we were away. He also has aspiring nature photographers in his daughters, the polaroids they gave us when we picked up the pups are on our fridge.”

“Mike and Laura took exceptional care of our 17-year old Jack Russell. Mike was extremely communicative during the entire process and helped make our trip to Ludlow happen!”

“John and Susan were absolutely amazing. my dog Pearl has been with us for five years and we’ve never boarded her out and we’ve never brought her to a doggy daycare or anything like that. I knew I didn’t want to bring my dog to a place that keeps her crated or in a kennel type situation. John and Susan treated Perl the exact way we treat her 💤🛌 sleeping in our bed, sleeping or in our lap, loving us, kissing us, going for walks, cuddle time spoiling her with treats. I would highly recommend John and Susan and little Miss Emily. They were so great with communication to let me know how she was doing, taking pictures and that just helped ease our minds so much…”

“Hope is excellent and our first experience on Rover, she exceeded our expectations and gave our dog a loving and caring experience. Our dog stayed with her overnight the week after Christmas. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I made a last minute request for care and Hope made the entire process simple. We were from out of town skiing at a nearby resort. Hope was generous with her time and care for our treasured Potato. We will use Hope again when we return for another ski week. I was very happy with our experience and our dog Potato had a great time playing at Hope’s house. We were lucky to find her!”

“Martha is a stellar dog sitter/walker/lover! She brought my dog Skye into her home and treated her like one of the family. She appreciated her sweetness and gave sweetness in return -- and took her on lots of walks which was so good for Skye -- and now Skye is her friend for life. Martha gave her lots of attention and playtime and I know Skye is missing her. Martha is someone you can trust wholeheartedly and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.”

“Seriously Jamie-Lynn is the absolute best! We've never left our dog with anyone and she made us very comfortable to do so. She kept us updated on nellee's days with her. She even dressed her up and Took photos of her which were adorable! she'll definitely be our go to sitter. Nellee took to her and her dog very well and she even let us know things about Nellee that we can work at home as first time dog owners. We're very grateful for her and the awesome job she did, and nellee's new friend Vader! :). Thanks Jamie!!”

“Great hosts! Very quick to respond and just good people! I felt very comfortable leaving my pup there and I could tell my dog had a blast with the other dogs there. Would absolutely recommend their services!”

“Best pet sitter! So communicative and went above and beyond with my little kitty’s care! Will definitely be asking Greta for help every time I need a pet sitter.”

“Halle and family took good care of my dog Rosie, who can be a challenge when she's in an environment with strangers. Rosie sometimes has socializing issue, but Halle understood my special care requests and Rosie turned out to be a fine guest for a week in their house. As Rosie was evidently at ease, so was I while I was away. Should a boarding need arise in the future, I will definitely consider Halle.”

“My husband and I call Marissa the “dog whisperer”. She is incredibly fun, attentive and loving towards all animals. She has cared for our little Ozzy (a mini golden doodle) on several occasions and he absolutely adores her. Her photo and video updates are so thoughtful and fun and she is just so easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone who needs care for their special animal🐶”

“Sarah, Ben, and Bean are awesome- It was such a relief to get updates and see Attie having such a great time! Having the fenced yard where both dogs could run and get all their wiggles out is a huge bonus, and Attie came home exhausted and happy. Highly recommend them both :)”

“Jaimi was very welcoming and flexible with our schedule. Simba enjoyed his visit. We will rebook next year on our return to ski at Okemo.”

“Ollie seemed to enjoy his time with Afton and her wontfamily! He went swimming and for hikes, had plenty of cuddles and came back to us a happy pup! Lots of pictures and texts, thank you”

“Amanda was amazing. She kept the dogs well fed, and exercised. She showed them a lot of love and they looked back at her as we left. She sent us videos and pictures which brought us comfort. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing that we could trust her. We will be using her again for sure.”

“Grace took fantastic care of our puppy, Arrow. He has plenty of play time, love and affection, and came home tired from having a wonderful time. We will definitely board with Grace again.”

“Adam is the most caring dog sitter we have left our sweet Meaty with yet! 10/10 would recommend him. Lots of peanut butter in house.”

“Adaylia was awesome with Loki and very accommodating. I was almost 2 hours late picking up my pup due to an unexpectedly much bigger snow storm than what was predicted. She was so gracious and understanding. When I picked up Loki I could tell he was super happy and also nice and tired. I can tell he had a great time. I highly recommend Adaylia to anyone looking for a great dog sitter/boarding.”

“Bear seems like he had such a great time with Christine and Lily!! We got lots of pictures and updates which put us at ease that he was having tons of fun! He will be going back very soon! Christine is so responsive and easy to talk to - we are so glad we connected with her!”
