In home boarding and Care

Central Vermont Dog Boarding is a fun family friendly boarding situation! Snuggle on the couch, run in our woods, play in our fenced yards and just have a great home away from home. We cater to all dogs and can even handle dogs that can be challenging. Our home is off a dirt road with loads of trails out the front door. Three dog savvy kids are ready (or not) to play with your pups! Our cats hide in our gated upstairs so "no cat dogs" are not deal breakers. We strive for a safe and fun place to keep your dog while you are away. We also work on training with the dogs while they are here! We have a great Facebook page where owners can check in on their dogs and we post loads of photos! Each day is an adventure and we'd love your dog to join us for all the fun!

Our dog always has a great time with Samantha and her family, and he comes home happy, healthy, and tired! We boarded him at another place before, and it was clear he was kept in a crate most of the time and couldn't wait to get out of there. But with Samantha, he gets excited to see us then just sort of sniffs around and chills, like he doesn't want to leave. It makes us feel good while we are away to know that he is taken care of like family!

Our dog spent over a week here, and had a fun time! We were sent pictures of him playing and enjoying himself.

Very good with our dog Jackie. I love that Jackie is in a home setting around others.

My 11 month old pup stayed with Sam for a few days (this was our first time apart since I adopted him) and he came back tired and happy. He even made a friend with Sam's dog and I am so happy!
