Pet Boarding in Essex Junction

“Kate took great care of our dog Chip this weekend! She met up with us beforehand to meet him and was responsive to his needs. Would definitely book dog sitting with her again”

“Danielle was fantastic with my dog, Meg. I contacted her last-minute, and she was responsive, flexible, and professional. We did a meet-and -greet the night before, and she stayed in touch the whole weekend with thoughtful updates and photos. Meg came back calm, content, and clearly well cared for, no adjustment period needed. Danielle is caring, grounded, and highly attentive. You can tell she really sees the animals she’s working with. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

“Left Ripley for a night/long day. Kim was very flexible with accommodating my drop off and my constantly changing pick up. (thank you!!) She took great care of Ripley in the short time she was there. They went to Runyon, played with her lovable golden, and the other neighbor doggo. She tired my Rip out nicely and I'll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

Rebecca R.

“I cannot say enough great things about Charlene!! She was so kind and accommodating! She updated with pictures and communication. Lou can be a bit grumpy and doesn’t warm up to strangers very quickly but by night two with Charlene he was snuggling up with her! She is a true dog whisper with a very calming and welcoming demeanor!!! I would recommend her 100 times over!!!! We will 100% be coming back to her!! Lou loved her a ton and played well with her cute pup Scout!”

About: Hey! Im Skye! I’m a senior at the university of Vermont studying political science and history. I’ve had pets from gerbils to horses my entire life and have cared for pets with special needs, disabilities, and aggression. I would love to spend some quality time with your pup or kitty whether it be snuggling all day or going for a hike! My number one priority is your pet’s safety and well being. —— Open to boarding smaller or low energy dogs, must be okay with cat in house. My schedule varies, but I work from home most of the time. If im watching your pup it will be a day I work from home so I can give them attention throughout the day. If watching a pet in your home, I follow the provided instructions, while ensuring to keep everything clean and tidy. If boarding in my home, your pet is welcome to the entire apartment, when supervised, and will mostly hang out in the living room or my room. Pets are allowed on couches and beds. We do have a cat in the home that will ignore the dog as long as it is not aggressive towards her.

“Louis and Haley took amazing care of my aging pup. They were super caring and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt calm and relaxed during her stay. Thank you!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. For over 40 years, I've raised puppies and kitties into well-behaved, loved members of my family. I have some experience giving medicine and training. I work from home 4 days of the work week and even on the day that I’m away, pets are never left alone for more than 5-6 hours a day, which is rare at that. I walk our dog daily and there is plenty of time to go out and play in a fenced yard multiples times during the day. As mentioned above, we lets our dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise and they are rarely alone for long stretches at a time. If I'm taking care of a pet in their own home, those pets can get walks and regular visits based on their needs.

“Christina cared so well for our elderly pug, I’m really grateful! She stayed in great touch about some of Vivian’s special needs, which really helped me feel that Vivian was in good hands. Wonderful sitter!”

“Sarah was great boarding my dog! Her dog Maple is super sweet and got along great with my dog. Sarah kept me updated daily on how my dog was doing.”

Alexis D.

“We had a sitter back out last minute with a trip we had booked for a couple of months. We have a young, anxious, high strung dog and we were worried about leaving him somewhere that’s too stimulating, like a kennel. We were traveling from Maine to Vermont so I decided to try Rover and see if somebody could watch him for us in the city we were staying in, so we could be available if there was a problem. Paul responded quickly and accepted Bjorn’s stay within five days of the trip. We kept Bjorn during the day but we dropped him off in the evenings. Paul was quick to respond in all communications about Bjorn, whether it be about drop off/pick up, care, questions about how he was doing. He even problem solved when Bjorn was too nervous to use the bathroom, and asked me for tips when he was struggling to eat. We also got pictures throughout his stay. He made me feel super comfortable leaving my nervous baby with him and didn’t make us feel like Bjorn was too much (which I know he is). We appreciated Paul’s care of Bjorn so much, it really took the stress off during our trip.”

“Eric and his family were absolutely wonderful hosts and caregivers for our girl, Ellie! We received updates and pictures of Ellie, living her very best life while she was boarding with them. It set us so at ease while we enjoyed our wedding anniversary trip, knowing our pup was so cared for and loved on. Don’t look any further, Eric is the best!!”

Carrie H.

“Meghan did a great job! This was my first time leaving her with someone unfamiliar and it went great. Meghan sent updates, which was really appreciated. After picking my pup up I could tell she was comfortable and had a good time. I would book Meghan again!”

Taylor J.

“Bella was 1st time with Rebecca this weekend. Bella had a great time with her family and her 9 months old puppy. I highly recommend to have your pets boarding with Rebecca.”

Daniel N.

“Emily was great! Our dog Molly stayed with her and Magnolia for almost 2 weeks and got to go on runs, walks in the forest and lots of playtime with friends.”

“Julie and her partner were absolutely amazing! They were communicative and attentive, took care of our dog like their own. They are great people who genuinely just want to make sure your pet is comfortable away from home! I can't recommend them enough!”

Yadan Z.

“Hannah and her partner watched my dog in their home over the weekend. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with her; he settled right in to her calm home, enjoying the dog toys she had prepared. She handled his special medication needs and physical restrictions with ease, and I can tell he received lots of love and attention during his stay.”

Ardyn O.

“Alexis has a very warm and calming presence. I will absolutely recommend her to the top of the list of caretakers. Lots of pics and updates on activities.”

“Aaron was a great fit for our dog - Miso loved spending the week with him. It took a few days for Miso to adjust to his first ever sitter and Aaron handled it well - checking in with us when he noticed that Miso wasn't eating and seemed a little home sick. By the end of the week, Miso seemed to be having a great time. Aaron sent pictures and updates throughout the week, which was really appreciated. We would highly recommend Aaron. He was open to meeting with us before we left on vacation and asked great questions (vet info, local contacts, likes and dislikes, etc). We usually leave Miso at a boarder, but since our trip was going to be longer than usual we were hoping to find someone local that could give Miso more personal attention and affection - Aaron made us feel comfortable leaving Miso with him for an extended period of time. Thanks for taking such good care of Miso for us, Aaron!”

“Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!”
