Dog Boarding in Craftsbury Common, VT

“Marine and Roland immediately put our minds at ease with their pics of Emma and all the attention they gave to her at meet and greet. They stayed in constant contact with us and we knew Emma was in good hands and looked very relaxed and comfortable. Highly recommend Marine and Roland for any pet watch. Will definitely use again.”

“We were lucky enough to find Donald a couple of years ago. He lives on 14 isolated beautiful acres, perfect for daily trail walks and forest adventures. Our dog Lulu has stayed with Don for three or four extended stays. The last one was for 10 days in February 2025. We receive frequent updates, videos and messages so that the whole family knows that our dog is on vacation while we are on vacation. If I could give him 10 stars, I would”

“Maurice and Penny took great care of Peanut! I got lots of photos, and Peanut got lots of snuggles, walks, and playtime with their other dogs. I got back a happy and tired puppy dog :D”

“Thank you Barbara and Darryll for being such great companions for Nyima while we were gone. It was so helpful to know she was loved and taken care of - and that she got to play outside with you every day!”

“Sarah was wonderful to work with, very communicative. We were able to do a meet and greet in advance to make sure our dogs would get along (they did!). Sarah sent a picture or video daily (sometimes multiple times a day). It was nice to get updates on how our dog was doing, so we didn't have to worry on vacation. We will definitely use Sarah again!”

“Kevin was great - excellent communication, and I felt my dog was in good hands. He stayed with Kevin for the two days we biked at KT. Kevin took him for hikes each day, which was greatly appreciated. He has a sweet greyhound that didn’t seem at all perturbed by our high energy springer! We go to KT at least once a year and hope to book him again!”

“Chad was very good with our dog. Sent photos throughout and was easy to setup pickup and drop off with.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kim to anyone needing boarding or daycare for their doggie crew. I initially made boarding reservations for my two dogs, but plans changed when a 75 pound rescue came into my life. Kim was willing to board my entire crew of 3. Kim is conscientious, kind, patient, and accommodating. (One of my girls is sometimes uncomfortable walking on hardwood floors, even with trimmed nails. Kim put out yoga mats and a runner to help her feel more comfortable.) I would not hesitate to recommend her and Moose.”

About: I am an animal lover who grew up taking care of many different kinds of animals and owning my own dog at a young age. I enjoy teaching and training our dog as well as playing with him. He's a happy, people-loving companion! I work from home and home school all 4 of my kids so taking care of pets fits into my schedule very well. Daily feeding and walking are scheduled. I happily include our pet in our home with some boundaries such as staying off of the furniture as well as not eating food off of the table.

“We were so happy to find someone who is fear free certified & uses positive reinforcement and were thrilled when Maria let us know she was available to watch our 7 month old puppy on short notice. Our puppy had never been alone or away from us so we were very nervous but when we arrived at Maria’s home, we were put at ease when she let him approach her vs. coming over to greet him as he can be a bit shy at first. Our pup took to Maria fairly quickly and once we went inside, Maria introduced her dog Lalo. Lalo was very sweet and so patient with our pup who was extremely excited to have a friend to play with. We were worried our pup would have a hard time with us leaving but we were actually able to sneak out the door/leave while our pup played with Lalo! Our pup is a high energy breed and Maria made sure he got both physical and mental stimulation by bringing him on several walks and offering a Kong. He slept almost the whole 3 hour drive home! We received our first update from Maria shortly after we dropped off our pup and she continued to send frequent updates and texted back very quickly - again putting our worries at ease! We would absolutely recommend Maria and if we are ever in the area again, utilize her services!”

“Sarah is one of the few people we trust to take care of our 2 labs while we are away. We appreciate her communication and it is obvious that she cares for our dogs like they are her own. Thank you!”

“Faye and Guy are so wonderful! They took in Bruno like he was one of their own. Bruno had such a good time and I received updates every day! Luck to have someone nearby that is so reliable!”

Valentina L.

“Our dog, Baker, has stayed with Piper multiple times and always has the best time. Piper gives him so much outside time and is really in tune with Baker’s needs. I also love that Piper gives us lots of daily updates and photos. Piper is our most trusted dogsitter and I never hesitate to see if she’s available when we need to travel!”

“Julia was AMAZING. She was the first person we’ve ever left our little fur baby with besides family, and after her... I don’t know how we’ll leave her with anyone else! She sent us incredible and gorgeous photos, took her on a hike and probably 6 walks within 24 hours, and took amazing care of Ina. I would recommend julia to anyone looking to board their dog in the Bay Area—she even met us 30 minutes from our house since the hour drive was a bit far for us, free of charge. Julia is an incredible dog sitter and such a clear dog lover. Highly recommended any day x x x x x x x x x x”

“Julia was an excellent match for our two dogs for overnights. Large running and playing area and she took them for lots of walks. They obviously felt comfortable with her right away. Julia is an experienced dog professional and exudes the confidence and technique theater goes along with that. We will definitely call upon her again for dog care.”

“Whitney has helped me out a couple of times since I’ve moved to Vermont! She is extremely accommodating and easy to communicate with. My 2 yr old feisty pug stayed with her and her family for 3 nights while I was out of town. And it was very reassuring knowing she was in such good hands! I recommend Whitney 200%!”

Megan L.

“Kelly and her son did such an amazing job watching my baby Coco. I would definitely use Kelly again and would refer her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 15 years now. Briefly owning my own pet sitting and dog walking company many years ago before having children. My family and I have been fostering dogs for just over a year now and have had the joy of finding 6 dogs their forever homes. Now being a stay at home mom with some spare time on my hands, I’m looking to get into pet sitting and dog walking again to share the love of animals with my kiddos! Flexible availability as I am home most days all day. Mid mornings and early afternoons are best for walks. Overnight care in our home is available any day and night! We have 10 acres off a private road with ample space to run and enjoy walks. We also have an entirely fenced in yard for the dogs to romp as they please!

About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.
