Doggy Day Care in East Berkshire

About: I spent a lot of time volunteering at a rescue shelter. I started off with the basics; walking, socializing, playing and being a friend. I eventually became more involved and had a great time doing it. I helped with social media, took photos of the dogs, assisted with adoption and fundraising events, foster care and the biggest experience of all was the time I went along on a road trip to South Carolina to rescue dogs from shelters and bring them back to Vermont for adoption. For many reasons, that is an adventure I will never forget. I'm available most weekdays and some weekends. I'm flexible, so times can be discussed. Please check my availability or contact me if you have questions. Thanks! I have a fenced backyard that has plenty of space for playing and running. My home is clean, safe and comfortable; the perfect home away from home. There's a spacious finished basement that the dogs can use for playing with toys or just hanging out. My very friendly dog, Sylvia would love to play with your dog. Communication, dependability and trust are very important to me.

“Our 6 year old GSD, Flynn, has been with Chad since he was 4 months old. Up until a few months ago in a doggie day care, and now spending 2 days a week with him in a more 1:1 setting. Chad's calm, nurturing demeanor and unwavering patience and consistency with our often anxious and always energetic guy makes such a huge different for our family. Flynn's 2 days a week with Chad mean that he is a calmer, happier, less anxious dog at home. All of this being said, I think the biggest recommendation that we could give would be that whether it was at day care drop off or Chad pulling into our driveway for a visit, Flynn can never get to Chad fast enough. For us- that says it all!”

About: I'm someone who enjoys being around dogs and I love being able to make them happy. I have experience owning large and small dogs. I make sure to get them the exercise, play, and attention they need (and deserve)! I currently work from home and have availability during the work day to take breaks and get outside (rain or shine). I have my own dog so it is part of my routine to spend time caring for her. I live in a cold-a-sac neighborhood and have over a half acre of land. I enjoy playing fetch with dogs, walking with them, or just sitting side by side being buddies. I make sure they are fed enough and always have water in their bowls!

“Michele is a wonderful and thoughtful sitter. I have always felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. He gets lots of time outside and joins them on walks when appropriate. I recommend her highly to anyone looking!”

“Thanks Faye and Guy! Super accommodating, made sure Yuki felt settled and comfortable. Professional and made sure that Yuki had a great time while we were out skiing. Next time I’m up, will definitely be reaching back out! Thanks again :)”

“Kim provided doggie daycare to my doodle Rooney while I hit the slopes on our VT vacay. Roo came home happy & tired after playing w/ his friends all day. Kim even provides pick-up/drop-off services which are very convenient & much appreciated! Highly recommend!”

About: I've been an animal lover and taken care of pets my whole life! Growing up, we had the sweetest yellow lab named Pete. Now, my partner and I adopt old pets and care for them during their retirement. I love animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own. ****** PLEASE NOTE ****** that we have two dogs (an elderly deaf pug named Alice, and a senior terrier mix named Edie) and one cat. Our pets are friendly towards other dogs, cats, and people who come to visit/ stay with us. Please let me know if you have any concerns about your pet staying with our pets, or if they don't have experience with cats. We can discuss and ensure it'll be a good mutual fit. I am an educator at the local elementary school, and offer pet care services to neighbors and visitors to the area. My availability is generally flexible on the weekends, and can extend into the week on a case-by-case basis. I generally offer 3-4 walks per day, including one longer adventure to mountain trails, or another nearby, dog friendly destination. I'm happy to bring your pup to any of their favorite spots (within reason). Of course, it goes without saying that pets are allowed on the furniture and more than welcome to snuggle in bed at night, also open to crating or any special care required.

About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday at my home here in St. Albans and I have the flexibility to take breaks when needed and can be present while caring for the pets. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.

About: Hello!! I have two furry babies of my own ( a lab and husky) and they both have unlimited energy! My fiancé and I are a very active couple. We have a 2 acre fenced in yard at our home! I love watching a variety of dogs ( small to large) and both of my dogs love to play with other dogs! For the dogs I have watched, I send daily photos and updates as needed. You’re dog would get the utmost attention here( nightly cuddles and daily activities) to reduce stress while traveling! If you have any questions or concerns you are welcome to ask! I make my own schedule and my fiancé works from home! He is always home to care for the needs of our dogs and yours! I always take the dogs out and for a walk in the morning and then feed them. My fiancé will take them out intermittently throughout the day as needed. Typically when I come home we will go for another walk

“Timber had a great time with Donald, it seemed like a dream day. Donald sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Timber having a blast. On top of running a resting, Timber was able to socialize with a neighboring dog. We came back to a tired happy puppy and look forward to future visits with Donald.”

“Maria was amazing with our dog Lena! Lena was never upset when we dropped her off and never seemed anxious when we picked her up, which is saying a whole lot for Lena. Maria was awesome with the Rover reports, giving us lots of photos, a summary of her day, and a recount of her many walks and potty breaks. Maria is sweet as can be and really just everything you could hope for in a sitter for your pup. She gave us a complete peace of mind that our girl was in great hands. Thank you so much Maria!”

“Belle première expérience avec Linda! Très gentille, attentionnée avec notre chiot. Il a pu jouer dehors et se dépenser. On a senti qu’on pouvait lui faire confiance. On est très satisfaits!”

About: Thanks for stopping by! As a dog mom, I know how important it is for your dog to be safe and sound on someone else's watch! I will care for your pup just like my own (a spoiled good boy). Whether is just a quick walk or a long stay, they are in good hands, and will have a built in playmate! I have 5 years of house sitting and dog sitting experience with excellent references. My dog gets along with just about any dog, so don't hesitate to reach out! I work from home and love to get outside for breaks during the day! I am an avid walker/runner/hiker and am happy to take your pup or pups out with me on any of the above. When pups are outside, I always have a close eye on them and am happy to play with toys/balls/sticks - whatever makes them feel as comfortable as possible.

“Brittany is wonderful! We left our pup Molly with her for a day and couldn’t be happier! Molly came back happy, tired and had a great time with Brittany and her pets, she sent us updates with photos and videos! Next time we would definitely reach out again. Thank you so much!”

“I highly recommend Katie! Very easygoing and I felt comfortable leaving my Chewbear with her. She was flexible with my time period and I did not feel rushed. If I had more energy I would have done more. Katie was very responsive to my texts and I even got a "report card" letting me know more about his time there. So nice to have peace of mind for your animal with severe separation anxiety. She is a godsend. Would definitely let Chewy visit again. Thank you Katie!”

About: My schedule is flexible so I'm able to spend time throughout the day with your fur baby. I'm active and happy to play fetch for hours! I like to take puppers for multiple walks and give lots of love and pets. The clients I sit for like the fact they can contact me last minute and I'm generally able to adjust my schedule to be available. My schedule changes from week to week but feel free to contact me to double check my availability no matter the season! I like when clients leave me detailed instructions on what their pets normal schedules are, that way there's less stress put on myself and on your fur friend! I'm able to work from home most days of the week, this allows me to be available for all pet needs - morning, lunch time, and after work walks are a part of my daily schedule when we have a dog to take care of. Lots of mental stimulation and training exercises throughout the day to keep them out of trouble helps too! I have a 9 year old cat in the house that tends to keep to herself in the bedroom when there's a dog around. Our home is on 5 acres of land with a big yard to do lots of sniffing around. I'm also located right on the rail trail for longer walks and adventures!
