Dog Boarding in Lincoln

Here at Briana’s DogVacay I don't just believe that your pet is family, I act like they're my own family. I am ready to take care of your loved ones whenever you might need it. I am dedicated to around-the-clock care and with my extensive background and experience, you can be assured that your pet will be taken care of by the best.. I have been an animal lover my entire life, and since I was a little girl my family taught me how to care for dogs. I have always been the go to caregiver for friends and family's pets while away. I am also a certified pet sitter by the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I am also a member of Pet Sitters International & National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.

Do you or someone you know have a pup at home that never seems to run out of energy? That is where I come in. Your dog is my dog and I will show them only the best love!

Briana’s DogVacay was born when I decided to pursue my love and passion for dogs. Not only offering dog walking and playtime when you are busy and don't want to leave your sad pup at home. I am very flexible and only want my clients to be happy and satisfied! I can’t wait to provide your furry baby with all the love they need while being away from home.

NOTE: I love cats and offer cat sitting as well as dog sitting! I'm happy to stay at your house or visit your kitty while you're away.

*** PLEASE NOTE! I service just like a hotel. You specify your drop off and pick up time. If it exceeds minutes past, I will send you a custom quote of an additional late pick-up/drop off fee $20 per 15 mins. If you could send me a quick message when you are on your way that would help greatly. Sorry for this but I've had customers take advantage and pick up & drop off when they please. Also, if on the day of pick up you are planning to pick up your pup after 12pm there will be a daycare fee of $20. Last drop-off & pick-up is at 7pm.

*** Saturday & Sunday ONLY ***

Drop offs and pick ups will only happen between 6-8:30am and then resume again between 3-7pm. We will be playing during the day and don’t want to miss out on doggy fun.

I guess loving dogs does not make me a unique dog care provider. But I truly do love and enjoy the animals.

I live in a house in the lively neighborhood near Brown University, with my human family and two weimaraners, Blue and Jasper. We have a large size yard, fully fenced in.

My partner and I are both involved in animal care. Both of us work from home. I work for over the phone interpretation company. I also have masters of science degree from the university of agriculture and zoology (Agricultural Academy in Szczecin, Poland.) My partner Wayne is a graphic designer.

Our daily human/poocher activities include lots of laughter and loving attention, and leash walks around the city. We are lucky to have a huge, fenced in yard and spend a lot of time there, playing ball and chase; but the highlights of the day are our strolls in the woods, the swimming is included.

I am not a professional dog trainer, but I have enough dog care experience to offer some training work during their stay, free of charge. I am happy to provide references on request.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1/ No unaltered animals, sorry. Also the dogs must be house broken.

2/ Don't forget the flea/tick preventative.

3/ Please contact me directly through General Inquiry, if the calendar shows "booked" during the time you are interested in.

The best part of this job is that each time we have a new fur baby stay with us, they become part of our family and hearts. Rest easier on your well-deserved get away or business trip knowing your adored pup is being loved and cared for. Your dog will be engaging (with both humans and other dogs) all day, is welcome anywhere in the home, and won't be crated (unless he/she feels safe in their private space and you as an owner bring their crate).

We live in a relatively new single family home quiet neighborhood with Charles River access and have a safe, fenced yard with a nice mix of sun and shade. Our house is very comfortable with central air conditioning during the warm summer days. You will receive pictures throughout the stay of your happy dog having a great time of playing in the yard or taking a siesta…whatever their vacation vibe is! Our goal is that your dogs gets a vacation while YOU are on vacation!

I am a responsible, elementary school teacher looking to add some smiles to my day by taking care of your pet in your absence. It will be my pleasure to pamper, play and fawn over your dog until he or she is back in your loving arms. Our house is dog-centric, as dogs and humans are in interaction all day. I love all aspects of caring for dogs, from walks to "couch-potatoing" at night, to playing tug of war or nonstop games of throwing the tennis ball!

I have two adorable pups: a puggle named Sushi and a "jug" (Jack Russell/pug) mix named Sake. They are happy, social little fellas that get so excited to have visitors and sleep overs with dog friends!

We don't crate dogs (unless your pup likes their privacy and enjoys their crate, then please feel free to bring), and our goal is to create happy "mini packs" and your dog enjoys his/her new canine friends. It's amazing to watch dogs of different sizes, ages and breeds come together and bond, not matter how long or short the stay!

Dogs have their choice of where they would like to relax and slumber. Couches and beds are of course included.

You can look forward to seeing photos of your pup during his/her stay, as I love catching them being adorable and am thrilled to pass the pictures on to you! Thanks for stopping by, check out some of my reviews and photos, and I hope to meet you and your pup soon!

Hi friends! I am a homeowner in a very residential area of North Providence with a fenced in backyard and Stephen Olney Park within walking distance, less than six houses away! I have always loved dogs, a former animal cruelty officer and a six year volunteer at the RISPCA. I will watch your baby like my own! I believe you, a loving pet parent, shouldn't have to worry, and I will make sure you don't! Here is a reference from Dr. Finocchio, President of the RISPCA.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am delighted to write a recommendation for Lori Sergiacomi who I

have had the pleasure of knowing for over 5 years. Lori approached

me a few years back as a radio disc jockey asking to help the

Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with

their annual dog walk.

She brought her program to the shelter and promoted our fund

raising event on the air from our parking lot. This was the beginning

of a great friendship. Lori has since been a loyal volunteer for the

society doing what many other volunteers try to avoid, cleaning and

making the pets resting quarters clean and comfortable. She

volunteers on Sundays which is special because we find it difficult

for people to give up one of their days off to assist us. Lori is truly an

animal advocate and fully understands the goings on in a shelter for

animals.

She is dependable and hard working. I highly recommend Lori for

any position dealing with pets.

Sincerely,

Ej Finocchio, D.V.M.

President RIPSCA

Why I love dog sitting

I have been a dog lover my entire life! I was the kid that took home every stray...at that time dogs could roam free...drove my mom crazy but had new doggie friends! Then, as I entered my teens, I wanted my own dog. My mom said it was ok IF it was free. She didn't realize, back then, the Providence Journal had a Yankee Trader page listing free dogs. That's where I found my best friend, my German Shepard named Mindy. She lived a long life.

Now, as an adult, I have had smaller rescue dogs. I live with my Chihuahua Spunky. He is 17 years old now, 9 pounds and very lovable. I recently adopted a Yorkie named Bailey. She is 18 years old.

About my yard

I have a ceilinged, carpeted, fully furnished fenced in patio. I also have a large fenced in backyard. See pictures. I have central air conditioning for hot summer months.

My experience includes administering oral medication and injections. I am comfortable with both.

I would love it if your baby is no bigger than 20 pounds as I have two tiny senior fur babies.

My family has included dogs (and various other animals - I grew up in Africa and Asia) since I was about 6 or 7 years old. I worked at a Zoo for over 9 years and love nature and wildlife. I spend a great deal of time in the woods, hiking and swimming with our family's 3 dogs - a 5 year old "Pitty" named Zulu, our 7 year old choco-Lab Brownie, and the queen of the house Maia (or Mia), a seven pound, almost 4 year old Shitzu-Terrier. I have over a decade of experience dog sitting, fostering puppies, dog-walking, providing doggy day care and assisting in basic training. I am aware of the challenges of finding trustworthy and caring dog care help. I am mostly retired affording me the time and flexibility to pursue a passion caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Our home is clean and comfortable with 4 separated yard areas including a kiddie pool for the hot summer days, two separate basement areas with crates ranging from small to XXXL, and 3 gated areas on the first floor that are air conditioned and allow for lots of interaction in the kitchen and living room. Toys, blankets, pillows, crates, etc. are sanitized regularly and we strongly believe in providing a safe, comfortable environment for your dogs to socialize, learn, play or just lounge around. We have 8 security cameras mounted through the house to keep additional eyes on our furry family and friends and there is almost always someone home and other friendly dogs to play with.

Greetings Rover!

I work together with my fiancé and better half Amanda, together we are full time dog trainers, walkers, doggie day care providers and over-night sitters from Lincoln that would love to be your next pet sitter!

If you want your pup to socialize and experience our well-structured pack lifestyle than please take a minute to look at my full profile below.

Trustworthy:

If you are a dog owner who is as passionate about your fur babies as we are then rest assured your pup is in the best hands! You will get plenty of updates to help to ease the separation and not to brag, but we’re pretty good at taking pictures! ?

We are firm believers in meet and greets to build the trust you should expect. So let us prove it to you!

Flexible:

We work around you! We are available for late nights and early mornings, as well as last minute requests. We have our own cars which are also dedicated to our pack so we are more than happy to accommodate any pups in need of a lift.

Affordable:

We work with you! We are flexible with our pricing for extended stays and daycare packages. We started on Rover to offer great rates for great service. We never kennel or crate our boarders unless you ask us to and we always beat the local boarding rates. Tell us when your stay will be and let us set your price.

Training:

We are more than willing to work with any dogs that have behavioral problems including:

- Pulling on leash

- Off leash training

- Separation anxiety

- Excessive barking

- Potty training

- Aggression

Addressing these issues are very important to keeping a balanced and happy dog. We believe a dog that can show respect for their owner is a key aspect for a well behaved fury family member. So let us help!

Health & Diet:

We are very strict about what we feed our dogs. No food, treats, toys are ever given without permission. Our first priority is to listen to what you want, as to make sure your pet's stay with us is more than perfect!

Accommodations:

We reside in Lincoln, RI, just minutes from the major highways (95, 295 & 146). Our home furnishes tons of natural sunlight with additional rooms for all of our four legged friends. We have hard wood floors throughout, and fully secure pet friendly turf backyard. Our life revolves around the animals in our care and our home certainly reflects our dedication.

Our pack:

We are proud fur parents to an Australian Cattle Dog - Tahlee age 4, a long hair Chihuahua - Tula age 12, and our newest pack member – Vera, a one year old German Shepard. We take the time to train our pack to ensure they are very well behaved and get along well with other dogs. They bring our home to life everyday so be assured your pup will always have a playmate.

Personal Bio:

I grew up surrounded by dogs so my passion for animals started early. After finishing my bachelor’s degree I’ve dedicated myself to better developing my training methods with Amanda by my side. This business is my life and I live every day to make it the best that I can.

Amanda has dedicated her life to her animals and has worked with multiple dog care services in metro Boston. When she’s not out on a training call, she is home with her pack - her favorite place to be! Now that her roots are in Rhode Island she has the opportunity to continue the work that she loves so much.

Call or text anytime to set up a meet and greet!

*Ask us about our horse!!*

I have 7 years experience working as a positive-reinforcement trainer and at boarding and daycare facilities. I'm currently finishing up my CPDT certification and love nothing more than sitting down with a good animal behavior book.

My partner and I have been running Beach City Dog Prep for over 2 years. We spend the day managing play groups, reinforcing good manners with toys and treats, going on adventures with dogs in the woods, taking high quality photos, and snuggling your dogs. We also offer complimentary enrichment activities for boarding dogs. Food puzzles, licky mats, and other brain teasers that are adjusted to each dog's ability so everyone can enjoy themselves!

Walks scheduled with Beach City Dog Prep aren’t your average midday potty breaks. Andrea picks up your dog, secures them in a comfy crate, and drives them to a quiet wooded area to enjoy some sniffing and running time on the end of a 30’ long leash. This allows your dog to have some much needed time to just be a dog. These are called Decompression walks and start at $35 for a 45 minute hike or you can book a 90 minute hike for $50. All decompression walks are scheduled between 11am- 3pm. These book up quickly and we recommend setting up a standard walk day so you don’t lose your spot! Ask us about packages to save on each walk.

Boarding dog activities are based on the individual dog - we offer both play and quiet spaces. We pay close attention to their behavior and play styles and are glad to be able to pass that information on to you.

In addition to Boarding and Decompression Walks I also offer Private Lessons, Day Training, and Immersive Training including Board and Trains. For more information shoot me a message!

We do send individual updates through the app, but the majority of our photos are posted to our Beach City Dog Prep facebook account so everyone can enjoy the pictures.

Let us know if you have any questions!

We respect people and their pronouns, this is a queer and trans positive space.

My experience administering medication

Yes, I've administered medication to several dogs that I have watched and don't have a problem doing so. Whatever is best for the dog :

Hi, I have been fostering dogs fore 3 years. I currently foster dogs through Save one Soul rescue league. I am very familiar with many different breeds and sizes of dogs. I have a fully fenced in yard and your dog will have 24/7 access to the yard. I also have a 15'x15' kennel with an entrance to a sheltered section of my shed for dogs that may be aggressive. During the week I come home everyday for lunch so your dog will not be left alone for more than 4 hers at a time. I take my dogs on daily walks/hikes!

Ten minutes from Providence I provide a quiet, stress free, dog friendly environment for all sizes and breeds of dogs with a large fenced yard. Dogs have free run of the house, are allowed on the furniture and can even sleep on my bed if there is room! I have handled dogs, cats and horses all my life and feel comfortable with any type of dog. I am at home most of every day. I cannot accept big jumpers, due to a picket fence in front yard, or dogs that are aggressive with other dogs. My return visitors are always happy to come here and run up the steps which makes me very proud. All dogs must have license and rabies tags attached to their collar or harness.
