Central Vermont Boarding

Pet care experience

I grew up on a small horse farm in rural Vermont and have been around all types of animals. Living on a farm I learned from a very young age the importance of caring for our four legged family members big or small. I have personally cared for all of the following: Horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, fish, birds, cats and dogs (not sure if I forgot any) Growing up on a farm I have dealt with many sick (but mostly healthy animals) and I am comfortable with administering medications if needed. My home located off the main road on a quiet wrap around street (our family owns most of the street) we have 2 dog tie outs along with a dog pen and a large yard. We have dog beds in every room, plenty of toys and treats. We have 1 dog named Puxie (pronounced “Puck-C”) she is a 2yr old Olde English Bulldog. She has good manners...minus the jumping when she's excited. A typical day is coffee for me, breakfast for the dog, followed by going outside. I do not work from home and my daily schedule fluctuates; but my husband works for himself and comes home at lunchtime. Our evenings are filled with playtime, dinner for all, a walk (during the summer) and snuggles in the couch. During the winter we will try and play outside long as the temps are not too low. Our house is all hardwood floors and I am comfortable with caring for young to old pups. I like the animals to feel they can get away if needed and have their own space, just like us; so we have many dog beds for them to choose from. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Please note I do work a full time job. Also after school or in the summer or vacations, my high school child is home.

Cailyn is the BEST! She has been our go to, number 1, dog sitter for our Newfie for the last 1.5 years. My dog has spent lots of time with her and his doggie friend Puxie since he was a puppy. Cailyn gives him the best care and sends pictures of his fun. I am so grateful we found Cailyn on Rover.com.

I was so happy with the dog boarding provided by Cailyn! Very grateful to get some pictures of our dog while we were away. As I changed from my original planned pick up and drop off times, Cailyn was very accommodating with that. It was great that my dog had the opportunity to socialize with other dogs. He can be a bit demanding for attention and Cailyn was able to address that! To top it off she sowed his already torn dog bed!

Cailyn was so great with our dog and we are so happy he had such a fun experience while we were away. She sent pictures every day and always responded quickly to messages. We highly recommend her and will be happy to board Leo with her again the next time we head out of town.

Cailyn was terrific - she boarded Chauncy for a week. She is experienced and was flexible with our somewhat uncertain arrival/departure times. Would certainly recommend and will consider another stay if we were to be in that area.
