Dog Boarding Derry

“Jordan is always super sweet and pleasant and sends us photos of our pup/ her place is up on a hill away from busy streets but it’s very easy to get to her house !! It’s our second time and we will keep using her!!”

“This family is amazing with my 2 dogs! Absolutely above and beyond excellent care for 8 years. I never worry when I travel because I know my dogs are safe and well taken care of the entire time I am gone. I cannot recommend them more. If you want the most excellent care possible; this family is it!”

“Robert was great with our Savannah. Though she was certainly happy to see us, she did not seem distraught in any way when we picked her up. Since I was nervous leaving her, Robert sent me lots of pics and updates. It appeared Savannah and Robert's dogs, Lizzy and Elvis, all got along well. I feel Savannah was well cared for and likely spoiled. She is accustomed to being spoiled, so she felt right at home.”

“Michelle and her other half watched Ducky for us and gave her a vacation during our time apart. She was loved on a lot. If you are trying to decide to book Michelle or not I am not an internet or reviewer type and I'm leaving this review to say this person truly does a wonderful job taking care of your pet while you are away.”

“Beatriz and Hayden were fantastic with our dog! They treated him like he was their own and we got wonderful updates, photos, and videos throughout our trip. They shared lots of food with him (which our dog loved!) and made sure he had a very cozy bed with all of his favorite things from home. They left us totally at ease that he was in good hands and having a great vacation of his own! We will always try to use them any time we travel.”

“Ashley was an awesome pet sitter for my two dogs. She gave us daily updates with messages, photos, and videos. The dogs had a truly wonderful time with her. It was a huge comfort to know they were being cared for so well while we were traveling.”

Laura S.

“We left our mini schnauzer in the BEST care for our 2 week trip away. Andrew, Karen, and Finn were the best hosts to our boy. We received many daily updates of photos/videos of Moose having the best time playing with Finn. They were always so quick to respond to any messages we sent. When we picked up Moose, he was clean and brushed. I’m one of those crazy dog moms and am 10000% happy with how Moose was taken care of! Thank you so much Andrew and Karen!”

“Kristina is your girl!!! We had an unexpected emergence and had to fly out of state. Kristina responded to our request for a sitter and helped me through the process (I’d never used Rover). She was available for last minute drop off and made me feel comfortable about where our dog was while we were dealing with an extremely stressful situation. She sent pictures of our pup and encouraged us to check in whenever. Squishy came home smelling like she just had a bath and had fully washed blankets. Kristina went above and beyond and we can’t thank her enough for her kindness. 5 stars doesn’t do her justice! If we need help again we know who we’ll be contacting. We highly recommend her services! Thanks Kristina!”

“Amy did a fabulous job with caring for my 2 dogs! She sent photos and updates which were very much appreciated! She’s knowledgeable about dogs so I felt super comfortable with her watching my dogs. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to all who need her services!”

Sara S.

“Beatriz is the GOAT of dog sitters.She is fastidious in every area of pet care. Plus her house is immaculate and all the animals she cares for are happy campers. Pip and I are truly blessed and grateful to have found this amazing person. I just hope that he will want to come back home after being with Beatriz an original dog whisperer. Thank you for such loving care.”

“My dog stayed with Britney over a long weekend. Britney was great! She sent updates with pictures, was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I would highly recommend her!”

“She was amazing with my Tucker. He is very energetic and he was very happy. Fast responses to texts and plenty of pictures. Tucker was very sad to leave. Will definitely use her again.”

“Lucy and Millie stayed with Joe while we were away for two weeks and they had a wonderful time! He sent lots of pictures and they came home exhausted from playing wit new friends. Thanks for taking good care of our girls!”

“Amanda and her children took very good care of our dog. He was very happy there and ate all of his food which he normally doesn't do. Amanda was very accommodating and we would love to use her services again when we are in town. Her fenced backyard was a big plus for our dog who likes to be outside. Also, our dog liked playing with her dog.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I currently have two Basset Hounds, ages 3 and 4, two 9-year-old pigs who are kept completely separate from the dogs, and a cat. I grew up with German Shepherds and reptiles, and over the years I’ve also had Great Danes, hamsters, ferrets, crayfish, and plenty of other animal friends. I’m comfortable with everything from big dogs to small animals, and I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I know how hard it can be for pets when their people are away, so my biggest priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and as at home as possible. Whether that means lots of attention and playtime, a good walk, couch cuddles, or simply giving a more independent pet their space, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’ll treat your pets like I’d want someone to treat my ow, with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. 🐾 I am currently home all day and night most week days and some weekends. Your pets will be loved on constantly the entire time they are here. My two Bassets love having company and are always up for playing or cuddling. There’s plenty of couch space for dogs who like to snuggle, and they even have access to the bed—with stairs! I’m happy to accommodate both the social butterfly who wants to be part of everything and the dog who would rather have some space to relax. I don’t have a fully fenced-in yard, but I have plenty of yard space in a quiet neighborhood. There is a small, short fenced area directly off the porch with a patch of grass for quick potty breaks. Dogs can also be taken outside on a leash or tethered, depending on what they’re accustomed to and what their owner prefers. I’m also very accustomed to accidents in the house—one of my Bassets, Polly, has them regularly—so a dog who isn’t perfectly house-trained, has occasional accidents, or needs more frequent potty breaks is absolutely not a problem. I have an XL crate if that is something they prefer. My other Basset, Hank has bad anxiety and takes daily medications so that is not a problem either. Most importantly, I know being away from their people and usual surroundings can be stressful for pets. I want your dog to feel like they’re staying at a second home rather than just being boarded somewhere. I’ll do my best to stick to their routine, learn their quirks, give them plenty of attention, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re back 🐾❤️

“Choosing Tracie to care for our dog while we were away for two weeks was one of the best decisions we have ever made. She was extremely communicative and went above and beyond to make sure that our dog was happy and comfortable. She read all our notes on Rover ahead of time and was well versed during our meet and greet about our dog’s food and exercise routines. Throughout the two weeks, she made sure to keep to our dog’s routine as closely as possible, even going out to buy more of the specific food our dog needed when she ran out. Her dog, Link, is a sweetheart and was such a good companion to our dog. Her communication was thorough with many photos, videos, and maps of walking routes. I am so grateful for people like Tracie and her family and will not hesitate to book her again for our future needs.”

“I'm so happy we chose Tara to leave our puppy with. I was nervous about leaving her with someone new but once we met Tara I felt much more comfortable because of all the experience she has dog sitting and she has a fenced in yard. Our puppy got to run around in the back yard and play with other dogs and it was nice knowing she was having fun rather than being in a crate most of the time. Tara sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated, which I appreciated. I would definitely use Tara again!”
