Dog Boarding in Highgate Center, VT

“The host and his wife are sweet and caring! Femi had a wonderful night with a lot of outdoor plays. I would come back again for sure and will recommend them to anyone who needs a great Rover host!!”

Femi L.

“John was super prompt in responding to my initial query about dog-sitting, and incredibly communicative while we were away. It was wonderful to receive daily pictures of my dog running around in his yard with his dogs. I recommend wholeheartedly!!!”

Meg H.

“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”

Margaret H.

“Well all I have to say is wow. What a wonderful experience. Best sitter ever. I had used 2 other folks on Rover before and both were not good. She communicated and gave my pup good attention and love. Would highly recommend this sitter”

Marisa H.

“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.”

“Ruchi provided a safe & loving home for our Cooper. She texted us everyday with updates & sweet pics and treated Cooper as part of her family. We would not hesitate to call her again - she is the best and loves dogs!!”

“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”

“Cassandra was absolutely amazing 🤩 She cared for Moonbeam so well. Her whole family were great and loved Moonbeam. I absolutely will use Cassandra again. Tysm!!”

Laura B.

“Wonderful people and place to watch our dog. He’s big and full of energy and they have space for him to run, dogs to play and people to love on him. Couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter.”

Sarah G.

“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!”

“Our dog, Lyra, had a great time with Dillon and his two dogs. We got frequent updates and Lyra always seemed happy and safe. This was one of the most professional experiences I’ve had on Rover. We'll definitely book again.”

About: Long story short: I have YEARS of experience and a deep love of all animals! I'm great with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities! Happy to walk them all! Must be kid-friendly if sitting happens in my home. Good with cats for in-your-home pet-sitting The Long Version: I've had dogs in my home since I was a kid. I also have experience with cats, as we had cats first when I was younger, and at one point had multiple cats in the home at once, and also had two cats and two dogs at one time. In college I volunteered at a local rescue and walked dogs of all sizes and personalities several days a week. I ended up adopting one of those dogs, and had her from the age of about 4, until her passing a couple years ago at around age 15. She was an absolute love, but she also could be very reactive on walks/ in public. She was extremely particular about which dogs she approved and even when she found one she'd be okay with, she often took quite a careful, long introduction to make it work. We went through behavioral training and made some progress, and I was able to take her on many adventures, even despite her still being a bit reactive. I learned a lot about dog behavior and socialization with her. Over the years we also rehab'd an ACL injury and recovery, and had to make life/ home/ meds modifications as she got older and needed some more senior dog TLC. I am happy to visit/ walk any dogs, behavioral "quirks" and all, as long as I know about their strengths, challenges, and how to support them, in advance. For boarding/ any care within my own home, I am only able to accept dogs that are excellent with young children (I have two dog-loving kids under age 5). I'm a teacher, so my schedule varies based on the time of year! During the school year: I can do weekend walks, or dog sitting, ideally at my home, through the weekend. During the summer months: My schedule is flexible! I'm happy to do quick potty breaks for pups during the day, regular walks, filling in for random days you have to work longer than usual, boarding/ dog sitting (again, ideally at my home since I have two little kids) I've always loved my pets as members of the family! I will give your pet all the love and care that I'd give my own! I am happy to follow any pre-established expectations and appreciate knowing anything that's going to help make my time with your pet as comfortable and fun for them as possible in your absence. I also love capturing adorable pictures of animals lounging, playing, etc. so I will definitely send pics during / after my visit if you want them! We don't currently have any pets in our home. Our dogs were allowed on the couch, bed, anywhere, and I was usually curled right up with them, but I of course plan to follow any rules/ standard expectations that you have established for your pets and/or your home.

“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”

“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 seldom leave my dog behind when traveling, but it was SO great knowing that he was safe and happy staying at Michele’s place. She sent pictures and daily updates so that I knew my pup was okay. It was also very clear that he got his far share of exercise, he slept all day!! Thanks again !!”

About: As a dog owner myself I fully understand how important they are to your family. My husband & I have been in our “pet parents” era for 5 years now, so I’m sure you can only imagine how spoiled our Georgia girl is. When you hire me, you’re getting someone who’s going to treat your dog exactly as their own. I want to see their little wiggly butts & all of their cute tricks when they are in my care. I always offer a meet & greet so I can learn about their dislikes/likes , favorite toys and scratches & all of the cute things you love about them and or maybe naughty things they do before I take care of them so I can offer a safe & familiar environment! I have 10+ years of experience with drop ins, day care & dog walking. Rover has given me the opportunity to make new furry friends & to continue being active outside during all 4 of VT seasons. I work remote Monday through Friday and it gives me the flexibility to take breaks when needed to be present for your animals in your absence. I have a huge back yard where I live and a very sweet dog named Georgia that loves to cuddle & go for daily walks. We are a very pet friendly home. Dogs will be tucked in while sleeping.

“Rebecca was a godsend in a pinch (wedding in the area, learned last minute our Airbnb was not pet friendly). Did not hesitate for a minute at taking on our active and kooky husky mix, sent constant updates - clearly he was loved like a member of the household and so happy in her care. We are grateful our dog agreed to leave on pickup 😂 and we wouldn’t hesitate to refer Rebecca let alone to place our dog with her again. Thank you Rebecca!!!”

About: J’ai toujours eu des animaux depuis ma jeunesse. Je suis toujours attentive à leurs besoin et je ne manque jamais un détail. Ce qui est ma grande force avec les animaux. Pendant quelques années j’ai travaillé dans le grand nord, j’ai fondé ma petite organization pour sauver des chiens nordiques à Kuujjuaq,Quebec. Je m’occupais de trouver des familles et de leurs donner des soins. Je sais m’adapter aux races diverses et leurs tempéraments qui sont toujours unique. I am a very passionnate and caring person with animals since I am a kid. I had all kind of animals in my life: dogs small and large, cats, parrots, budgies rabbits and fish. I have been rescuing homeless puppies and dogs while working in the arctic between 1999 and 2002. I understand dogs behavior and I know a lot about pet first aid and different diseases and symptoms. I have a very calming energy with pets, I understand them and make sure they are always comfortable. I live in the Montérégie area, about 35 min drive from Montreal . I have a detach house with a large yard as well and a finish basement for more space to play when there is bad weather:) There is a lot of space and I have access to great parks and hiking paths nearby at all time:) Je travaille de la maison à temps partiel, j’ai beaucoup de flexibilité et disponibilité. Je veux éventuellement seulement m’occuper d’animaux de compagnie dans le futur. J’ai une grande cour clôturée, il y a beaucoup d’espace pour jouer et aussi je suis tout près de nombreux parcs pour prendre de longues marches en toute sécurité. Mon travail étant flexible, je peux en tout temps me libérer pour accommoder les besoins de chaques chiens, repas, pause dehors, médicaments, je marche beaucoup, souvent je vais en voiture dans des endroits spécifiques pour plus de tranquilté. J’ai une cour gazonnée intime et sécurisée, beaucoup d’espace pour les jeux ou simplement prendre une sieste au soleil sur notre balcon. L’hiver je fais des petits sentiers dans la neige.

“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!”
