Dog Boarding in Methuen

Hello I'm Ingrid, my family and I have dedicated our home life to dogs. I and my Family have a passion of taking care of dogs. I love to take care of them by giving them belly rubs, walks, and playing with them all the time. All my life I have had pets and been very responsible to make sure they feel loved and taken care of well. I have a big fenced backyard were I and my children and I play with the dogs all day. I stay at home full-time to dedicate my love and attention to dogs and family. I make sure I excel expectations to make every dog feel at home and when you are away. I proved with you permission I walks around the block, and a lot of love and attention. They are never alone, never in cage unless instructed by you, but I make sure I provide them a home while you're away with much love,passion,energy, and safety to make sure your dog is well and loved.

I am a flexible person, you can call me any time and day 24-7 for any emergency you have to let your pet take care and make your reservation the same day I have no problem with that.

I will send you a photo every day of your dog's stay so You’re feels more relaxed that you know he is in good hand.

Thank you for checking out my profile. We live in a house with a nice-sized fenced-in yard to romp around in.

I gathered my canine experiences raising a Doberman, a Weimaraner, a Dachshund and now a Vizsla. My initially shy vizsla-girl KARMA is very well socialized and gets along with all of our guests. Sometimes, dogs will not warm up to each other, but we will be able to determine that at our "meet and greet".

There is a big soccer field across from my house where I sometimes take the dogs to get their penned-up energy out. Sometimes, I spoil them with a trip to the beach, but either way, most likely your dog will come home content.

As I work out of my home, I am mostly here to provide personalized care and tend to their every whim. I like to send pictures every so often so that you keep connected with your fur baby :-)

Welcome to Doggie Haven of Merrimack Valley presented by Rover!!

When you need to be away for an extended period why not give your furry friend the 5-star treatment. Whether you need to spend a long day at the office or take a vacation away from it all, rest assure that your 4-legged buddies will be making their own memories. Doggie Haven of Merrimack Valley specializes in Play & Stay Boarding, Doggy Day Playcare & Daily walking services. All geared towards keeping your pooch happy & active.

Play & Stay Boarding (Drop-off & Pick-up between 7am-7pm):

There is no need for your doggy friend to spend anytime in a loud, overcrowded kennel when we are dedicated to providing a safe & loving "home away from home" at a reasonable price. The best part is our Play & Stay rate includes playcare service. Groups are kept small so all our furry guests get equal attention during their Play & Stay experience. Whether your dog prefers an active or leisurely getaway we are here to deliver. Dogs of all activity levels are welcomed.

Doggy Day Playcare (Drop-off & Pick-up between 7am-7pm):

Need to spend a long day at the office? No need to worry!! We also offer daily Playcare service that will give your pup fun-filled days of socializing with other furry pals. We are blessed with plenty of space for your 4-legged buddy to chase, roll-around, snuggle or simply hangout. No matter what activity your pooch pal prefers, they will be socialized, exercised and extremely tired at the end of their playcare day.

A typical Play & Stay or Playcare experience is fun & flexible but we like to follow a basic guideline depending on the requested service.

-Amount of exercise is based on each individual dog's needs.

-Feedings per day are typically served 2-3 times per day but we are happy to accommodate special requests.

-Social hour is a minimum of four hours per day.

-Playtime is a minimum of four hours per day.

Dog Walks (available between 9am-2pm):

We also offer dog walking service that will get those paws moving. Our goal is to make sure our visit is the best part of your doggy's day. The quality of our walks is important so they never last less than the amount of time that you request. Our #1 goal is to give your pooch the time he deserves in a safe and structured manner when you aren't available.

To keep all our doggy friends happy & safe we do require a meet & greet prior to booking. We love all doggies but it's important that all our pup pals are well socialized & ready to make new friends.

To continue with our safety protocol, it's equally important that all vaccinations are up to date such as Rabies, DHPPv/DA2PPv (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, parvovirus), and Bordetella. Once a reservation as been accepted, we require that a copy of your furry friend's current vaccinations & vet info accompany them on their scheduled drop-off. This is one of many ways we ensure that all our doggy pals return to their families just as happy & healthy as they arrived.

Thank you for considering Doggie Haven of Merrimack Valley. We look forward to having your furry friend join our growing pack!!

Hi! Sophie & Rick here! We currently live in Seabrook, NH but travel down to the Reading area Monday-Thursday to go on our dog walks and pick up dogs that are boarding with us! I previously worked as an emergency veterinary technician for over 2 years, and we have several years of experience with dog walking and pet sitting. We are comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and have a lot of experience with aggressive and submissive animals. If your dog has any behavioral quirks please let us know and we will try and work with you! We are qualified to provide basic medical care for your dog or cat. We are super active and will take your dog for a long walk, run, hike, swim or whatever they desire!

About this sitter:

We grew up around dogs and cats and love spending time with them! Your pet will enjoy a fun filled day of hiking, swimming, naps & lots of love! We grew up with a dog and a cat in a rural town in NH and Rick grew up in Maine! I majored in Wildlife Ecology at the University of New Hampshire and have previously worked as a veterinary technician for over 2 years! We would prefer not to sit inside while we are watching your pet. I would love to bring them to the park, beach, hiking! We feel very comfortable with administering medications and following your pets routine but are also willing to wing it & come up with a fun filled day!

Why we love dog sitting

We majored in Wildlife Ecology in college and have been around animals my entire life. Sophie grew up in a rural town in NH with a dog and a cat and we love being outside and going on adventures! I would love to take your pet for a long walk in the woods, or bring them to the park to play ball.

Meet my pets

Our dog Tia who would be happy to play with your pet or she is happy to hang out at my parents house if your pet doesn't like dogs!

About my yard

We have a large fenced in yard.

My experience administering medication

I have experience administering oral and injection medications.

We are a young family with a 7 yr old male and a 6 yr old female bearded collie, a 2.3 yr old English Setter and one cat who thinks he’s a dog. My 17 yr old adores pets and has taken pride and responsibility in helping care for and train our dogs. We would take care of your pet like it was one of our own to assure you that peace of mind while away from him/her. We have a very large yard and live close to 2 dog parks. We would also be more than happy to send text messages with photos or videos of your pet while with us!

About this sitter:

I am an animal lover and cannot imagine our home without one in it! My husband works from home as well, so your pup would never be alone.

Your dogs will feel at home while staying with us. They will be able to sleep wherever they would as if in their own home.

Why I love dog sitting

I have had dogs all of my life. As a child, I had a cockapoo who passed away when he was 15 yrs old. Then while I college, I rescued a collie pup from the pound. Athena was with me until she could no longer walk at the age of 13.5. My past two dogs, unfortunately had lyphoma..one was a scottish terrier who passed at the age of 3 and the other was a wheaton terrier who passed at the age of 4.5. After this terrible experience of losing 2 dogs at such a young age, our family steered away from the terrier breed as they are prone to cancer. Our bouncing beardies have brought so much joy and love to our lives...

About my yard

Our yard is large, and completely fenced in! It’s like having our own doggie park in a safe environment.

My experience administering medication

Administering medications is not a problem. Over the years, I have administered pills, drops and liquid medicines to our animals for various reason

My wife Michele and I grew up with dogs, and have fond memories of them that we often talk and laugh about. And now our 3 children experience the joy as well. Dog sitting is something that has been a great solution for us. We have been on rover for over 3 years now, and we can honestly say we haven't had a bad experience yet. All dogs have gone home safe and happy! We've had several owners comment that their dogs are a little sad for a while when they had to leave here. We are all very experienced and comfortable around dogs and animals in general. We live in an expanded cape style home with a good size yard with woods with walking paths behind the house where we take dogs for walks frequently. The dogs really enjoy it, and it's nice to walk them in a more natural environment rather than pavement and traffic worries.

Why I love dog sitting

My wife and I grew up with dogs and some of our happy and humorous memories involved our dogs. Our children have all heard the stories, and now have a bunch of their own fun doggie memories and stories to tell.

About my yard

Our yard is fairly level with very mature pines and oaks. Mixture of sun and shade. Grass (and weeds!). Unfenced. There is a 100' overhead dog runner.

My experience administering medication

We have experience giving oral meds to dogs we've had through Rover. It's no problem. Although I did have a dog back in the day that made swallowing her pill quite a challenge!

I have a loving home with two rescue dogs, one rabbit and birds. I do dog walking and boarding. I love to walk so when someone hires me and the dog is a walker we always have great fun. I also do limited boarding in my home up to 5 dogs. I would also stay at yours if that is preferable. I have a great coral area with a 6 ft fence. I live in Andover and have been here 25 years. I usually do 4 to 5 walks a day.

Why I love dog sitting

My father owned the animal forest park in York Maine I have always been an animal lover and was brought up with dogs all my life. I now have 2 rescue dogs from high kill shelters one from Huntsville, al. and one from the Carolinas. I also love walking in all weather and decided why not do something you love I have take obedience training courses and know how to deal with difficult dogs that herd and pull.

About my yard

My house has a large back yard about half of it is fenced in that the dogs can use with their own door which they figure out pretty fast following my dogs around

My experience administering medication

yes not a problem used to eye drops and pills

Hello! My name is Sara! I have been walking dogs professionally for five years now going on six. I enjoy it tremendously! I do dog walks and drop ins currently. So if you are away we can arrange multiple drop ins to make sure your pup, cat or anything type of animal are happy and safe! I always communicate with my clients and keep their fuzzy friends safe and happy. I have experience with large dogs and tiny dogs, also with every stage in life. Dogs who need patience and extra love and special needs are also something I have experience in. If you think that we would be a great fit please message me and lets arrange a meet n greet! I can not wait to meet you and your fur baby!

(also has experience with reptiles, cats and barn animals)

My name is Bob M , I am a retired husband , father and grandfather who has loved dogs forever.I love dogs and have been around them my entire life. I would treat any animal like they were part of our family.We have a big fenced in yard and live in a nice quiet neighborhood that is perfect for walking your pet.

My 3-year-old Shih tzu Milo and I love company! We live in a nice big home, and enjoy taking long walks around the neighborhood.

Me: I've been a dog owner for over 40years, and take great pride in caring for canine pals. Whether your pooch needs an overnight stay or daily walks, I am available. I love dogs of all sizes, but SMALL size dogs are best because Milo is only 15lbs. I will consider dogs up to 33 lbs but would need a Meet and Greet to make sure dogs get along. Your pup is welcome to stay as long as he or she likes!

Milo is a very sociable, rambunctious and loves to play, which makes him an ideal playmate for younger dogs. Milo recently got his booster shots and was tested for parasites and heartworm. He has no fleas and is as healthy as can be! You can rest assured that Milo will be a cordial and welcoming host.

About my yard

large fenced in yard

I'm a animal-obsessed horse-girl who works from home and loves being surrounded by animals! We have a small (no pun in tended!) Miniature Horse Farm with 8 Miniature Horses currently and one "rescue" large pony that was headed to the slaughter house when we saved him. We have four spoiled Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and one VERY large Guardian Dog that lives with our little horses (and will be separate from any of our "guest" dogs!) We have three "working" cats that are very dog savvy. Our entire backyard is fenced with access to our back deck. Our home is very pet friendly where dogs are spoiled silly! You are always welcome to visit our farm & meet our little Horses! We'd LOVE to meet you and your canine kids! xo Karen
