Dog Boarding in Hardwick

“Thank you Barbara and Darryll for being such great companions for Nyima while we were gone. It was so helpful to know she was loved and taken care of - and that she got to play outside with you every day!”

“Shannon was amazing with our pup! She clearly loves animals and made sure to ask about our dog’s needs and preferences. Even with a personal emergency, she communicated and made sure everything worked out. Would happily book her again!”

“Our 6-month old puppy has had 2 stays with Piper so far. She is amazing. Our dog is fearful of strangers and needs to warm up at his own pace (which can be extremely slow at times). Piper just knew how to handle him from the get go and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She even discovered things that our little guy likes that we did not know. Prior to his first stay, Piper spent quite a bit of time on the phone to get as much information as possible about Milo. She even made recommendations to make him feel comfortable. While he was anxious at drop off time, he was a happy little guy after his first experience there. At the second stay a week later, I left Piper's house with him licking from her hand and not really caring that I was leaving (a huge accomplishment given his fear level). And when I picked him up, he did not even come to the door - I guess he had forgotten about me and was happily chewing on a bone, all comfy on the rug. Piper is family no. 2 to our dog!”

“Colby did a wonderful job accommodating us with pick up and drop off. She sent pictures daily and her property appeared to be a perfect vacation for our 2 dogs.”

“Kim is wonderful! My fiancé and I wanted to extend our trip an extra day, and Kim didn’t hesitate to take care of our girl longer than anticipated. We feel confident that our dog will not only be safe but also happy when staying with Kim, including lots of exercise and time outdoors! Don’t think twice about this option for your pet.”

“Maria is an amazing sitter. I'm so glad she is close by. My dog Aidan is 14 and I didn't want to leave him at a traditional boarding kennel. Maria provided daily updates with pics which put me at ease while I was away, I could tell Aidan had a great time with her and Lalo. Plenty of play time and outdoor excursions.”

“Kevin (and his dog Adam) were wonderful. When I picked up my dog Fry, he was happy & relaxed. During his actual stay, Kevin kept me updated of all the going ons.”

“She was awesome with all of our dogs.”

“My dog Russell stayed with Julia and she was flexible about the extending the stay. She sent me some lovely action shots of him enjoying himself. I feel confident that he is well taken care of there.”

“Hannah and her family took great care of Bailey while we were gone. If we should venture away again, we will definitely use Hannah again to watch Bailey.”

“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) :)”

“Kelly is tremendous. We are so thankful. This was our first time leaving Teddy with someone AND he has some special needs, and Kelly took care of everything. We felt so safe and secure. Thank you! Can’t wait to bring him back.”

“Lahana was fantastic, very easy to communicate with and I felt she truly heard and took to heart my cat’s needs! She Was incredibly friendly and was flexible with drop off and pickup for boarding! Her doggies were super friendly and well managed for the brief interaction I had with them! She helped out big time and was affordable for what I needed! She updated me with pictures throughout Wally’s stay without me even having to ask! Thanks so much Lahana! Looking forward to reaching back out in the future when traveling in the area again!”

“I can't think of anyone better than Melissa to be a pet sitter. I am her mother so the advantage is that I know her well and I witness daily the care she gives her pets- mostly dogs - but her daughter now has a cat who is treated like a princess. Melissa walks her dogs daily. Always on a leash where required but also has some special places where dogs can be unleashed. Pets are well fed, get treats (when they behave😂), have toys, warm beds, warm jackets. She would be the person that not only feeds, walks, pets but also genuinely cares about them. I truly believe river.com couldn't find anyone better suited!!! Rachel Pinard”

“Of course! Here's an expanded testimonial for Isabella: I highly recommend Isabella as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, loving, and attentive. My pets adore her, and I trust her completely with their care. Isabella goes above and beyond to ensure that my pets are happy and healthy. She is always punctual, communicates well, and has a genuine love for animals. I couldn't ask for a better person to look after my fur babies!”

“I am beyond lucky and grateful to have Brooke in my life. She’s the kind of person you can always count on—dependable, honest, and hardworking. She makes everyone around her feel at ease. Brooke’s love for animals shines in everything she does and she has even started fostering dogs in order to find them their perfect home. She’s patient, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, always making sure that everyone (two-legged or four-legged) feels cared for and safe. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated she is, not only to her friends and family but also to any task or responsibility she takes on. Whether it’s helping a friend in need or going the extra mile to make sure things are done right. I can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pets. She has such a calm and nurturing energy, and I know any pet in her care will feel just as lucky to have her as I do.”

“Brandon and Janey took excellent care of our pup while we were on vacation for a week! They were wonderful communicators and provided daily updates. They made sure he got lots of exercise and attention. I highly recommend them.”

“Simba was super happy when we picked him up. Whitney kept us updated with photos all weekend and her daughter was adorable with our dog which made us very happy!”

About: Having been a pet owner for all my life, I am familiar with all sizes and temperaments of dog and cat breeds. I also have experience caring for bunnies, birds and livestock. I’m recently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My house is available if you need boarding or I can come to you. When your dog is in my care they will not be off-leash while outdoors unless you have a safe space for them, such as a fenced-in yard. They will get pets and cuddles, treats and exercise. I will follow your written instructions for their care and require your cell number as well as access to your vet.

“Katie was wonderful! I felt so comfortable leaving my two pups with her while I left. The daily pics and updates were great! 10/10 will have her dogsit again!”
