Doggy Day Care in Great Barrington

“Peter was great with my very energetic pup! He called a day before the appointment to make sure all my preferences are met. Very flexible with the times I requested. Most importantly, I was confident that my puppy was safe and enjoying himself. Peter’s home is dog friendly and he was kind enough to send me a picture of my beloved pup. Would definitely recommend!!”

“We had such a good first experience yesterday, that we asked of Pluto could return for a second visit right away. Pluto’s joy to find himself back with Ashley and family this morning confirmed how well looked after he’d been. Thank you! We will be back”

“Irene was an excellent sitter for our boy Aslan. He got along great with her dog, and she sent many photos of how well the two puppies got along! Our boy came back to us happy and a little tired from so much play, we highly recommend Irene and will be excited to have her watch our boy in the future!”

About: I've trained two dogs that I got when they were puppies. I currently have 1 dog and many chickens. I've watched dogs and cats in the past. I've also had cats, hamsters, fish, a rabbit, birds, guinea hens and chickens. I currently work from home most days. When I don't, I'm not gone for long. I prefer to be home if I'm pet sitting and that changes from time to time. My yard is fenced and blocked off on two sides. There is a field behind the house that's usually grass that's usually too tall for domestic animals to go into.

“Katherine was super accommodating and has been a lifesaver during such a busy season of work. Her calm attitude seems to have a major impact on Seamus, and he comes home happy and refreshed like he's been at the spa! Her communication and photos are impeccable. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also volunteered at Pooch Palace, where I served as a companion for dogs and helped with their daily care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and providing comfort. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their dogs while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and loved I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I’m able to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and sitting throughout the week, as well as weekends. I plan my time carefully to make sure each pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they need I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every home I work in. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs. I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I also respect clients’ homes and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

“Kathleen was great. She was very responsive before we dropped our pooch off, and then sent regular updates throughout the day. He was in a good mood when we picked him up at the end of the day.”

“Jess took great care of my pup and sent me lots of pics and updates throughout the day! She has a sweet dog, and her dog and mine played together all day. Uva came home fed, healthy and tired! Thank you Jess!”

About: He cuidado mascotas, especialmente perros desde que tengo 10 años de edad, amigos, familiares siempre confiaron en mi para cuidar sus peludos, mi alto sentido de empatia canina hizo que adoptará 6 perros cuando viví en una casa de campo. Actualmente desarrollo trabajos desde casa, así que dispongo de tiempo para cuidar y jugar con tus mascotas, pasear y consentir los peluditos. Me encanta caminar. La casa donde vivo es amplia, es una calle cerrada, es muy tranquila, no tengo vecinos cerca, hay espacio de zonas verdes para caminar y jugar.

About: Grew up on a farm caring for animals since my youth. now enjoy the company of visiting dogs, just like I had with my own. I currently work part-time and many situations able to bring a boarding dog with me; as I work with mostly older folks who would love the sweetness of a dog visit; considered therapy. I have a side fenced yard, safe from the road, and only do private walks in a comfortable grass field near my home, leashed and one at a time for individual attention.

About: I've taken care of many dogs for family and friends. I have been house and dog sitting regularly for the same family twice a year since 2007 and through word of mouth have picked up many more clients that would happily give a reference if requested. I feed fish and small pets and I'm happy to hang out with cats, spiders, and snakes too. I work full time for a very flexible boss, so getting home to let pets out on breaks and lunch isn't an issue. Once home for the day I tend not to leave so pets will be well cared for and I'll be very present for them. I don't trust letting any pet off leash while outside unless in a fenced in yard. I'm overprotective to a fault. I have sat on a kitchen floor for 45 minutes letting a dog bark at me while getting used to having me around.

“Sandra was outstanding! She was very flexible and was great about communicating. Her sweet dog was very good with my skittish dog Minnie who didn’t bark once when meeting her ( she usually gets scared and barks when first meeting) Sandra gave me photos and info about her day and was very flexible about changing pick up time. She has a beautiful home and lots of area for walking and exploring that I’m sure was fun for the dogs. I highly recommend Sandra!!!”

“Yenifer was a rare gem!! I was in town last minute with my dog, and she was amazing to accommodate Pancake for doggy day care with no notice. She kept me up to date and Pancake was so excited to see her the second day!”

“Dim Sum had such a great stay with Benjamin and his partner on their beautiful farm! They were super helpful with being available last minute and gave Dim Sum a cozy spot to stay. Bonus points for being able to say hi to their beautiful horses too :). Highly recommend!”

“Tetiana and her family have a loving, welcoming home and environment. We were met with smiles, shown around and we felt very comfortable leaving our pup. The communication during the booking process was great, as I had a number of questions. Tetiana was responsive and thorough. We found written Q&A better than a call. They were flexible with how we prefer care, food, exercise, rest, etc. We received nice pictures, videos and notes ... even though our stay was only 2 days. We will use Tetiana again when we have a need in the Berkshires, and I'd feel comfortable with longer if needed (and agreed upon). Each member of the family was fast friends with our dog.”

“Kim was wonderful with Rumor. We all had a very good experience!”

“Nicole was wonderful with our dog Riley! She took him for doggy daycare and you know he enjoyed it because the second day we brought him he couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see her! Her kids were great with him too. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Riley with Nicole again.”

About: My name is Jessica and I am a caring and fun person who has been caring for dogs since I was seven years old! Now I am 24 years old and do not have a dog anymore but still enjoy spending time with my friends pets and I dog sit for my neighbors. I am very active so I enjoy taking dogs on walks and hikes. I live walking distance from a lake. If the dog I am taking care of feels comfortable in water then I will splash around with the dog in the lake (there are dirt roads in this area to walk the dog on too). I have had experience with a wide variety of breeds, so I feel pretty comfortable with any dog. I understand caring for a dog is similar to caring for a child. I am trustworthy and loving towards animals! I recently passed my board exam so now I am relaxing for some time & will begin my job hunt in February, 2022. Therefore, caring for a pet will fit perfectly into my current flexible daily routine. I do not live with any other pets & I create a safe environment by keeping the dog on the first level of my home only. On the first level I make sure that there are no hazards for the dog. In a client's home, I follow all of their reccomendations in order to keep the pet as comfortable & safe as possible.

“Such a warm and great babysitting place!”
