“Rosen was great and so was his sweet pup! Rosen responds quickly and is reliable. My dog and his played on and off all day and Rosen brought them out for a walk also. He was attentive and took good care of my pup. I think he loves dogs and my dog returned happy and tired!”

About: !! PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW BEFORE BOOKING !! 🐶 Mutt Season Dog Retreat is located in East Calais, VT DAYCARE & BOARDING HOURS 🕗 Daycare: 8 AM–6 PM (10 hrs included) ⏰ Early or late? +$25 by request ⛺ Over 10 hrs = boarding rate 🛏 Boarding: 24 hrs from drop-off 🕒 2–8 hrs late = +50% nightly 🌙 8+ hrs late = +100% (extra night) Please confirm drop-off/pickup times when booking. Unplanned overages may be charged. MUST LOVE DOGS & CATS Boarding + Daycare in our home I live with four other people: one human (my partner Jason), one canine (a 2-year-old Border Collie Poodle girl), and two felines (a 1-year-old girl and a 13-year-old queen). All of them are very friendly and well socialized. However, this means that if I board your dog, or take them in for daycare, they have to be familiar and respectful with cats, and well-socialized with dogs. Ideally they love playing and chasing (but not the cats). I work from home on my budding dog business, and I am enrolled in two different prestigious academies, studying canine behavior and training. It is easy for me to have another dog around, but I will require a visit to my house first to ensure the dogs get along, and your dog won't chase my cats. Ideally, we go for a walk together first, to give the dogs the opportunity to meet on neutral turf. I will only take one guest dog at a time. They'll get to play to their heart's content with my dog in a fully fenced large yard. My partner Jason and I just love all animals. I will be your sitter / primary caretaker, but in our home, Jason will give a lot of additional affection and attention, when he's around. I’ve been a dog parent for over 20 years, and have lots of experience with all ages and special needs. I am very diligent about catering to your dog’s specific needs and keeping you updated as frequently as you like, including lots of pictures. FORCE-FREE POLICY I will never use choke, prong, slip, or e-collars of any kind. If you want me to take your dog on walks, please bring a harness for safety. I usually drive my own dog to various trails in the area every morning and we go 3+ miles, I'd be happy to take yours on hikes, too, if they like car rides and can handle the exercise. Your dog will be with me and my dog all day long. Throughout the day, I take frequent breaks and let them out, be it for more walks, or a game of fetch or chase in our large yard. As soon as I'm certified as a dog trainer, I'll be happy to take on training as well. I will watch your dog in my home. I’ll adhere to their normal schedule and needs. They'll have a friendly play buddy in my own dog.

“Our dog Lyra had a lovely first day with Eric. Eric sent us frequent photo updates (one of Lyra snuggling on the couch, a great sign) and took her on some walks. Lyra came home calm and content. We'll definitely work with Eric again and would recommend him.”

“Gwynn was great with our dog, Friday! She successfully administered her medication as needed and sent us plenty of pictures and videos during her stay. It was clear at the end of her stay that Friday was well cared for and very comfortable with Gwynn. We will absolutely be bringing her back as needed in the future!”

About: I have had pet dogs all of my adult life. They are not just pets - they’re family. I live on a quiet cul de sac with my two-year-old golden retriever Maple. She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home most days. Being a mom, I’m around most nights. I am also available most weekends. I have fenced in yard where your furry friend can play with my dog. We’re on a quiet street where we take lots of walks. I can also crate when preferred.

“Christina was wonderful. She was so kind and considerate and thoughtful. She welcomed my very large boxer into her home, and took great care of him. She really went above and beyond and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”

“Kate was wonderful with our dog Cricket. She took him on short notice, brought him on a hike and sent us cute pictures. Best of all is her majestic dog Cedar, who immediately made friends with our pup. Taking Cricket to Kate’s place felt like the best type of summer camp in gorgeous Vermont woods. We will absolutely be booking again soon. Cannot recommend Kate and Cedar enough!”

About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day
