Doggy Day Care in Killington

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, and I currently share my home with two very different pups who keep me well-rounded in dog care. Maggie, my 15-month-old, 60 lb Staffordshire/Husky/Great Pyrenees mix, has taught me patience, consistency, and the energy it takes to handle a playful, strong puppy. On the other end of the spectrum, my 14-year-old Collie/Rottweiler mix, Charlie, requires gentle attention, senior care, and a steady routine to keep him comfortable and happy. Caring for both a rambunctious young dog and an aging senior has given me hands-on experience across the full spectrum of canine needs — from training and exercise to administering medications and understanding when a slower pace is best. In addition, my brother is a veterinarian, and over the years he has shared countless tips, tricks, and professional guidance that have deepened my knowledge of dog health, behavior, and safety. Friends, neighbors, and family have long trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets. Whether it’s a large, energetic puppy or a senior in need of extra care, I’m confident in my ability to keep dogs happy, healthy, and loved while their owners are away I am currently self employed so I am able to build my schedule around my clients needs. I’m very flexible and able to travel long distances. My care is customized to each animal and their owners needs and requirements. We have the ability to house and crate dogs as well as provide a large property for the dogs to explore. Conversely, I have travelled and cared for pets in their home and follow daily routines to prevent any stress for your pet.

“Great first experience for Augie, and for myself. Sam and Thomas very responsive and flexible. Augie had a great day playing with her two adorable pups, and came home tired, but happy. We look forward to booking with them again soon. Deb & Augie”

“We loved Gwynn and how well Bailey was cared for. She took her on daily walks on their large property and Bailey was able to be off leash and run well maybe walk and smell to her heart’s content. We would highly recommend Gwynn for your fur baby. Gwynn also sent videos and kept us well communicated how Baileys day was.”

“great updates throughout the day and wonderful/responsive communication. Would recommend and feel this is a great place for daycare and boarding!”

“Juno had a fantastic stay with Kevin & Inez last week. He is comfortable when he knows that the humans he hangs out with understand dogs and instantly connected with Inez. He came home and was super relaxed and happy (and tuckered out from the walks and spending time with other canine friends). He is looking forward to his next stay :-).”

“Jaimi took great care of our dog while we were skiing. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and our pup came back happy and well cared for. She was fantastic - highly recommend!”

“Bear was excited and happy when we picked him up from his first playdate with Jeanne, her dog and another dog. This was his first experience being left with someone and other animals and I think he was nervous about being left, but Jeanne is so sweet and was just great with him! We got a picture and an update on how Bear was doing. It meant so much to know that he was having fun playing and that he was happy! We will be using Jeanne as much as we can!!”

“My pup LOVES Alyssa and her dog Simba. The level of excitement when we pull in to her house is kind of ridiculous, ha :). But I wouldn’t have it any other way. So glad I found some that he loves and I can trust.”

“Tom, Ember, and pack were great! My fiancé and I were looking for a sitter that also had other dogs but not as many as an over packed storefront daycare. We were so happy to find Tom and Ember so that Callie could spend her day at a safe home having fun with at least one other dog. We did a meet and greet and booked the very next day because it was just such a good fit for Callie. Will be using regularly/weekly for the foreseeable future! Thanks Tom and Ember!”

Secure fenced in backyard that even my escape artist couldn’t escape. Sent lots of photos. Pups came back tired and happy. One of our pups didn’t want to leave. We are selective with who we leave our dogs with and I would recommend him whole heartedly without hesitation.”

“We could not have imagine a better place for Cooper to hang out while we ski. Bean welcomed him right away, and Sara kept us updated all day. I don’t think Cooper really wanted to leave. Great yard. We’ll be back!”

About: Hello! My partner, Lance, and I are Randolph, VT residents who would love to spend our time caring for your pets. I was raised alongside 5 English Bulldogs (not all at the same time!), and I have lived with cats with all kinds of personalities. Since moving to the Upper Valley, I have watched pups and kitties of all sizes and personalities! I can't think of a better way to make use of my time than to make sure your pets are loved and taken care of! I know what it is like to love and care for an animal, and I am happy to accommodate any special requests to make sure that both you and your pet are happy. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind in someone else’s care. I understand that your pet is a family member and it is my goal to keep them feeling as comfortable as possible. I have a flexible schedule and Lance works from home. We can host at our home, or come to yours for walks and check ins. I have a home with a large yard on a dirt road that gets very minimal traffic, with access to trails to get plenty of exercise. All time spent outdoors at my home will be on leash.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and have babysat and watched other people’s dogs all growing up! As soon as I got to college, I got my dog Dakota. She is an incredibly sweet and friendly Shih Tzu/Bichon. We also now have Nova, who is our new dog as of Sept 2025. She is amazing and super friendly as well! Our house a very warm, cozy, safe, and loving space. We’d be happy to host/watch your dog whenever you need, in a stress free environment! I work from home, and it is easy to care for my own dog this way without having to bring her to daycare. We are her sole caretakers! Any pets in my home are treated with love, care, and respect. Whatever needs your pet has will be catered to, and they will feel happy and comfortable while their parent(s) are away.

About: I’ve lived with and grown up with dogs my whole life. I love spending time with them and exercising with them. Id love the opportunity to get to know your dog and walk them or run with them outside, take them on hikes, and give them all the love, care, and affection they need. I am in medical school currently so I would have to work around my schedule. That being said I can be flexible and I have no doubt we can work something out I have a huge yard and nearby woods that dogs love to explore. My roommates love dogs and i have my own space in my apartment the dogs will love

“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”

Jessica E.

“Where to begin? Everything was amazing from start to finish. It’s the most comforting feeling to have someone you love (our pup) being left in safe hands. Kasey truly loves what she does and absolutely loves taking care of our little furry ones. It truly shows. We most definitely will be back since we frequent Vermont bi-annually. Thank you for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

I have years of experience with this and enjoy it!

“Grace was great! Fast communication and super friendly. My dog was instantly comfortable around her, and I appreciated the pictures I got during her stay with Grace. My dog was definitely tired when I picked her up after a day with Grace!”

“Olivia was amazing! She was super communicative, timely, and our dog LOVED her. She asked great questions and I felt very confident in her abilities. She sent us photos of our happy pup while we were out. I would recommend her to anyone and would hire her again any time.”
