Pet care experience

Just getting back with Rover and would love to care for your pup(s) overnight or provide doggy day care in my non-smoking Colchester, VT home. I've been boarding dogs in my home for 9 years. There are no children in my home and is female-only occupied. I offer a fully-fenced grassy yard and I am home all day. In addition to lots of play in the yard I like to take them to the dog park (weather permitting). Dogs can come in and out of the dog doors into the fenced yard as they wish during the day-or I let them in and out if they are not accustomed to dog doors. I am always close-by and very safety oriented and provide lots of attention. When indoors, the pups spend time playing with me and my dog, enjoying dog toys, napping on dog beds day and night (or in a crate if you prefer). Recent references provided at the meet 'n greet we'll schedule prior to boarding so you can check things out and ask questions.

Remi had a fun time hanging out with Charlene and Scout. He came home tuckered out and even excited to return the next day. Appreciated her help during our VT visit.

Charlene was awesome! She was really great with our very nervous rescue dog, and I know Isla had lots of fun running around outside.

Charlene did a great job with our girl. Mattie came home tired and happy.
