Dog Boarding in Essex Junction

“Dawn was really great with our pup, Leia! We met up with her and her dog, Arlo, before we booked and made sure they got along well. Leia had a new injury right before our trip, but Dawn really made us feel comfortable leaving Leia with her and knowing that she would be well taken care of while we were away! She asked a lot of good questions and made a plan for how to make sure Leia and Arlo could still enjoy each other's company without Leia overdoing it. We feel really happy knowing we found a good place for Leia when we have to be away!”

“Mildred did an excellent job taking care of our little dog. She was great at communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Thank you!”

“My dog and I were immediately comfortable with Michele. She went above and beyond to exercise Wilson and keep him entertained. I got multiple updates and he looks so happy. We recently lost our other best dog friend of 14 years it's such a relief to have a compassionate competent caretaker to help keep my Wilson 3 years old feeling attended to and not alone.”

“This is the first time leaving George with Melanie. We spoke on the phone before I left him and I was pleased with the questions she asked to get to know my dog and how to best care for him. He was well cared for while I was away and I would not hesitate to have her care for George again.”

“Nicole was so generous in sending pictures and videos for a nervous, first time boarder. She took excellent care of our beloved kitty and we will definitely book with her again!”

“Laura took great care of my dog. I could tell my golden enjoyed her stay there and got plenty of attention and exercise. Laura was attentive to her needs and I know my dog would be excited to go back again. Thanks Laura!”

“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling pretty anxious to be honest. Anneke was so great, willing to do a meet and greet to make sure honey was comfortable, and provided regular updates/ photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

“I left my dog with Peter for 6 days and I am very appreciative of the service he provided! He was very kind to my dog, gave her plenty of walks and the communication was perfect. He made sure to verify the important things and provided me with well timed updates without my asking which I thought was extremely kind and well thought out. This man clearly knows what he is doing and cares about the clients he takes on. I would 10/10 recommend him to any one looking to board their dog for an extended amount of time!”

“This was our first time leaving our puppy with the dog sitter and we were feeling nervous but Jackie did a good job with our puppy. He played with him to make him feel relaxed. He also sent daily photos updates and great communication.”

“Lillian was very thoughtful and caring with our older dog. She and her pup, Leo, entertained and cuddled with Dubai, sent lots of pictures, and got her to eat all of her meals (an uncommon feat)!”

“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”

“Liz was wonderful with my shy mini Aussie. She did everything she could to make him feel comfortable. She sent me updates and photos every day. Liz was great!”

“Amanda was great! She sent us a bunch of pictures of Bowie while we were away. We felt confident knowing she had a bunch of experience working with other dogs.”

“Victoria and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog! They made her feel right at home and set my mind at ease while we were gone on vacation. We will definitely contact them again in the future!”

“Our dog Remi has stayed with Christina three times while we were traveling and he always comes home happy. We can tell he feels right at home with Christina. She sends pictures daily and has a great fenced in yard for the dogs to play. We would definitely recommend Christina!”

“Hannah was great! She was super communicative and we know our boy was very well taken care of! Hannah was flexible with our changing schedule as well! Thanks so much!”

“Kaitlyn is a very caring dog owner. Since the day she got her puppy Nala, she has always been her priority. Kaitlyn is attentive, responsible and she will be an exceptional caregiver for any pet she looks after. I would recommend her for any pet-sitting or dog-walking needs!”

About: Hello! Glad you are here! Taylor and Brayden are a duo pet sitting couple. We live in Burlington and love pet sitting. Both of us grew up always having dogs in the house. Since moving away from home and moving in together, we have not yet adopted any furry friends, however our love for animals persists. Pet sitting is a great way for us to get to love on animals and help others out! While we have never owned a cat before, in the past few years we have had friends and roommates with cats and our love for cats has grown.We are a team when it comes to pet sitting. Brayden is in school to become a veterinarian and works at a vet office as a veterinary assistant. He is wonderful with animals. Any pet who visits our home has two wonderful and loving people to care for them. Taylor is a graduate student and Brayden is an undergraduate student at UVM. We tag team our pet sitting which makes this an even better gig! Between both of us there is almost always someone home and with both of our schedules being flexible we make a great pet-sitting team! We want to make your pet as comfortable and safe as possible. While we do not have a large yard, we walk dogs frequently to give them exercise and with owner permission love taking dogs to the dog park. We ask that you bring us a few toys if your pet likes to play as well as food and treats as we do not own any pets and do not have pet food on hand. If your pet is used to sleeping in your bed with you, no problem! Your friend will be welcome in our bed and on our couch! For cats, we ask that you bring a litter box and litter as well!

“Alan is a reliable and pleasant person and total animal lover. He has experience with dogs of all sorts. He took care of our dog toward the end of her life and our young pup simultaneously. He was sweet and patient with the old dog and all her various health needs while managing to keep the young dog active and out of trouble. Can’t recommend him highly enough.”
