Dog Boarding Merrimac

“I was a nervous first time boarder and couldn’t have been more at ease leaving my two pups with Mike. He’s very easy going and obviously loves dogs! Mine took to him right away and I was able to enjoy a great vacation without a worry in the world!”

Kim K.

“Felicia was very accommodating and easy to work with which put all my anxiety of leaving my pets behind at ease. My dogs seemed very relaxed at her home and I believe they really enjoyed their stay with her.”

Katharine M.

“Denise was wonderful. My dog is very timid with new people and he felt comfortable with Denise and her two sweet small dogs immediately. Really, it was a perfect fit. Denise was welcoming and communicative throughout. So happy to have met her!”

Jenny B.

“Donna and Rolland were amazing. They gave so much love and support to my furbaby Jazmyn while I was on a 10 day vacation! Not once did I worry or feel any stress while on my trip. I felt like Jazmyn was in the best hands and I was right! I highly recommend Donna and I will definitely be booking with her again. Also, Jazmyn loved her which made it that much better!💜🐾”

Tara P.

“We left our dog Rolo with Donnie for six days. This was our first kennel experience. Donnie put my mind at ease and I had complete confidence in Donnie taking care of Rolo. When I picked him up, he was happy and learned he did very well. I couldn’t be more happy. I will certainly use Donnie again. Thank you for everything.”

Aaron H.

“Felt completely at ease leaving my dog Peeky and my aunts dog Coco with Salish. She takes care of them so well and keeps us updated. She’s very patient and understanding with Peeky who is very reactive so it was very hard to find him a sitter who would be patient and understanding and luckily we found Salish!”

Ann Marie C.

“Very responsive and friendly. Received pictures everyday. Clean and safe home settings. Gets walk and play time everyday. Very happy with how Caty cares for my fur baby. Will definitely book her again.”

Ling C.

“Leyani was great, her kids loved our dog too. I would not hesitate to leave Brewster with their family in the future. She sent us daily pictures of our dog and we could tell he was happy and relaxed.They have a nice fenced yard and took Brewster to the dog park as well.”

Barbara S.

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Stacey! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and attentive she is with animals. Our Cody and Leo absolutely adored her. While we were away, Stacey kept us updated with photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond-not only making sure Cody and Leo were fed and loved, but also taking the time to play ball and cuddle which is their favorite thing to do. When we got home, Cody and Leo were so happy and clearly well taken care for. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy and dependable-we couldn’t ask for a better sitter. We highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family. Thank you so much Stacey!”

Rose S.

“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”

Bryan C.

“Natali was super awesome with our little maltese Chip, she kept sending regular updates and how Chip is getting together with her dog. 100% recommended”

Saurav P.

“Fantastic service! I was so nervous leaving my girl for the first time and she made it such an easy process and took great care of her! 10/10 would recommend!”

Vincent N.

“Beatriz was the best! She’s both responsible and loving ant took really good care of Lola who had a lot of food restrictions and demands. She’s definitely coming back for another stay!”

Carol B.

“We are so happy with Joseph! He took great care of our Lulu while we were away and kept us updated throughout our trip. It gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We truly appreciate his patience, kindness, and care. Thank you so much, Joseph! We would definitely recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again! ❤️🐾”

Ramona D.

“Kristen and Bobby are beyond wonderful! They showed some much love and care to our dog who stayed with them for nearly two weeks. Our dog went for long walks daily, played with their sweet dog, and made himself at home in their house. We can’t recommend them highly enough - Kristen, Bobby and Archie, you guys are the best! Thank you!!”

Katie P.

“Mike and his family did a wonderful job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. They send lots of photos and really treat her like one of the family, she has the best time there and I know she is being well cared for, highly recommend.”

Andrew K.

“We really want to leave a bad review so we can selfishly keep Dolev all to ourselves, but she was truly amazing with our nervous dog Max. We knew within an hour that we were leaving him in such good and caring hands that it mad our trip away even more relaxing. We received frequent updates and pictures, which were very comforting , and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be using her again as our boy Max was very well taken care of and loved while he was with her and her family. Highly recommend.”

Kurt R.

“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”

Nikolina L.

“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She had amazing communication throughout the entire stay and took such great care of my dog. She gave him treats, made sure he got plenty of walks, and truly made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m pretty sure he thought he was on a little spa retreat! I would happily book with Vanessa again and highly recommend her.”

About: I am a lifetime dog lover and would love to care for your dog like they were my own. My last dog, Finn, gained his angel wings in June and was with me for 15 amazing years. I'd like to continue caring for other pups in his honor! I am also an approved foster for a local dog rescue, and have experience with puppies, mama dogs, and older dogs. I am very happy to care for older dogs as they hold a special place in my heart! If your dog boards with me, they will get tons of love, snuggles, exercise and walks, and have a safe place to be while you are away. My goal is to make my home their second favorite place to be :) I currently work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I do have two school aged children at home, so we have a very consistent daily and weekly routine. Until recently, we had a dog at home, so pet care fits very naturally into our days. We have a large back yard away from the road. It is not fenced in, but I will take your pet out on a leash for bathroom breaks, walking for exercise and some supervised playing! There will not be any outside time that is unsupervised. I am very familiar with crate trained dogs or with uncrated dogs as long as they are safe outside of the crate (as in they are old enough not to eat dangerous things etc). If you have a puppy that is not house trained yet, I request that they be in a crate for night time. Inside the home, they will have access only to the floor that I am on at the moment, so as to keep them safe and out of trouble! We have plenty of gates and other items to block off different parts of the house. Mostly they will just be hanging out with me! I also have an octagon style play pen for puppies.
