Doggy Day Care in Charlestown

About: Our home has been a foster refuge since the 90's, I have had the privilege of assisting hundreds of pups and many cats find their loving homes. My experience with so many personalities and individual canines has given me the confidence to offer quality care for dogs in my area. I especially enjoy caring for senior dogs, and I can also support your type of positive training modification. I have been through several training classes with my dogs. I have 3 dogs that have earned their AKC Canine Good Citizen awards. Recently, my dog Willow, has received her AKC Farm Dog Title. With the fosters that have come to me, I have worked with MANY types of canines - all sorts of shenanigans...you bet!! I plan my day around walking the dogs, depending on your pets needs, the weather, and your schedule, my day is flexible. Pet care is my top priority I cannot have pets staying at my home at this time, but hopefully in the near future! Right now I am offering in home drop in visits only.

About: My lifelong aspiration has been to work with animals, a passion that blossomed during my childhood on a farm where I encountered a variety of animals. This rich experience has shaped my deep love for all creatures. Over the years, I've cared for a range of pets, from kittens to senior dogs! I have experience managing reactive dogs, having learned a great deal from working with one of my own and collaborating with a professional trainer. I'm eager to lend a hand with your pets whenever you need assistance, whether it's through drop-in visits or walks. I firmly believe that animals are part of the family and deserve the utmost love and attention. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companions! I work at a nearby Urgent Care three days a week (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays) and I'm eager to spend my days off enjoying some cuddles, playtime and exercises with your fur babies!! I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me being in their home and in their spaces- I like to take things slow and see how your animal interacts with me and go from there. I want this to be a pawsitive experience for everyone!

“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”

“Janine is wonderful. Zeva loved staying and playing with Louie for the day. She came home all tuckered out and was obviously well cared for! Already planning her next stay with Janine.”

“Enzo loved his time at Joe’s for daycare. He came home super tired and played with the other pups quite a bit it seems. Lots of photos and info on his Rover card was awesome!”

Erin M.

“Mike and Laura cared for my pup like she was their own. My dog is a little anxious and overly excitable but Mike took that all in his stride. He sent photos throughout the day and I could quickly see she felt right at home. She had a long walk and lots of playtime with her favorite game of frisbee. The night before we had a big snow storm and Mike was excellent at keeping me up to date on the road conditions. I will be happy to go back another time.”

“We left our dog with Jaimi while skiing for the day at Okemo and it went great. Our dog was a little nervous to go in, but Jaimi sent tons of photos of her relaxed and happy so we knew she was having a good time and being well cared for. Our dog came out happy at the end of the day!”

“Communication was easy as always, and it’s clear DJ genuinely loves dogs. My dog was comfortable, happy, and very well taken care of. It’s such a relief to have a sitter you can trust and confidently rebook. Highly recommend DJ!”

“Juno had a fantastic stay with Kevin & Inez last week. He is comfortable when he knows that the humans he hangs out with understand dogs and instantly connected with Inez. He came home and was super relaxed and happy (and tuckered out from the walks and spending time with other canine friends). He is looking forward to his next stay :-).”

“Susan and John were great! We have a senior dog and a puppy and both felt right at home with them during their daycare visit. Thank you both for being our pup’s home away from home while we were on vacation and couldn’t take them with us on our day trip!”

About: Animals are what makes me happiest from small to big. I have had all rescue dogs so I’m used to timid personalities, I also was a four year FFA student working with many animal types! I am currently a student athlete attending Keene State College I have a flexible schedule, very much a morning person, happy to help at any time. I currently have a very dog friendly house with a fenced in back yard and a closed in sun porch that is dog approved for catching some sun!

“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.”

“Michele did a great job with our dog!”

“Alicia is great!! She accommodated my last minute request for daycare and was very easy to communicate with. My puppy had a blast playing - very happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I’d book again with Alicia anytime!”

Laura R.

“Our pup had the best time with Greta!! She came home super tired and happy :) Greta was great with communication and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. Will definitely book again!”

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.

“Sarah and Ben are terrific hosts! Cooper felt right at home, loved playing with their sweet dog Bean, and had plenty of room to roam in their big backyard. We hope to visit again soon. Highly recommend!”
