Dog Boarding in Essex Junction

“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.”

“Alma was wonderful with my dogs! She sent photos everyday and made sure I was kept in the loop! Would definitely book again!”

“Meghan took the best care of my pup, Garland. Her dog and him were best buds and got lots of walks and playtime in. Garland has stayed with them twice now and gets excited when we pull up to her house. Great communication and she sent lots of updates, gave my pup lots of love. A great sitter to have so close by!”

About: We have taken care of pets for over 15 years. We trained out current dog in numerous courses and Katherine has worked with therapy animals. Tyler works from home so we are home full-time and Katherine works during the day and is the office part time. We are both home on the weekends. We believe pets are part of the family and deserve everything and more. We have a large fenced in back yard in Winooski and are right by the dog park. We currently have a low key awesome 5-year-old black lab mutt who loves to hang out with other animals. We can accommodate to the needs of your animal.

“Marissa was great with our Nova girl. She came back to us happy and well taken care of. Communication with Marissa was also very smooth and promptly. Thanks again Marissa for taking great care of our sweet girl 🐶”

“Dawn took excellent care of my elderly black lab, Sally. Sal settled in very nicely and got along great with Dawn's friendly pup, Arlo. They took lots of good walks together and there also is a nice fenced yard for the dogs to play in. I will definitely bring Sal to Dawn's house again!”

“A few years ago Mildred took care or our cats while we were out of the country. I was late fall or early winter, I do not remember exactly when. She not only took great care of our 3 cats. Most of the time when we would come home from trips with other cat sitters the cats would be mad at us because they were not getting the attention they were used to, however, with Mildred they were happy cats when we got home, which means that they were well cared for. While we were gone, something happened to our heater and not only did Mildred contact us to ask what to do, she called the service person and came back later in the evening and let him in and waited for him while he fixed the problem. My kitties did not have to freeze. I would highly recommend Mildred to care for any pets, she is caring and for us went above and beyond!”

“Liz was fabulous! Very attentive to our little Ruth and her needs. She kept us updated on how Ruth was doing while we were away through messages and photos.”

“Katelyn took great care of our dog Trapper while we were away for Thanksgiving. Very responsive, gave him lots of exercise and we greatly appreciated the last minute holiday availability!”

“Noelle was super responsive and made me feel at ease leaving my dog Pepper for the weekend. Thank you Noelle :) :)”

“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”

“Amanda was fantastic. We got amazing updates throughout the week with pictures. She was very honest about how things were going but was understanding that it was a new situations for our young pup. We can’t say enough good things about Amanda and are so happy we found her!”

“I have seen Megan lovingly take care of her pets and the pets of others with a very compassionate and playful approach. She is responsible and attentive and you can tell she truly loves dogs and cats. Another good thing about Megan is that she is detailed oriented and is very attuned to the pets which is very important when entrusting your pet to someone.”

“Incredible! Loving, kind and thoughtful. Great to communicate with, sent pics and videos. Loved my dog as if she were their own. Couldn’t have been better.”

“You could tell Kanchana and her family really cared for scout as if he were their own dog. I’m a very anxious dog mom and Kanchana gave me wonderful updates. I would highly recommend her, and employ her again!”

“Hannah took incredible care of my fur baby while I was out of town, and when I picked him up from her apartment it was clear that they had made fast friends. She was amazing about providing updates and sent lots of cute pictures which was much appreciated. She was very flexible and reliable even with a last minute booking. I could tell that she truly is an animal lover and I felt extremely comfortable while I was away. Will definitely be using Hannah again!”
