Dog Boarding in New Haven, VT

“Alysa took care of my Border Collie for a full week. She was flexible with time when my flight was delayed and I had to pick up a couple of hours later (10:30 pm) than planned, responsive and communicative during the stay (sending photos and updates via the Rover app, responding to messages promptly), and had a good attitude about the whole thing. Would definitely look to Alysa when I need dog boarding again in the future.”

“Our sweet Vera was recovering from ACL repair, and we are deeply grateful to Deb for taking care of her so beautifully while we attended a 3 day series of wedding events. She made sure Vera had walks of the length and nature she is permitted and cuddled her at night when she needed reassurance about our absence. Her home is incredibly suited to doggie fun and safety with a fenced play yard and even a poo;l on her deck for hot days. Vera loved sitting in the pool while cooling off during our recent heat spell. Deb's extensive knowledge of dog behavior provided new insights to us; she helped us understand some of Vera's responses when we arrived and affirmed the findings of our pet shrink (yes we had one when she was a puppy). Frequent photos and updates from Deb not only exceeded expectations but they also reassured us during a difficult time for leaving Vera. No sitter or boarding facility has made us so happy and comfortable in our three decades of dog ownership. We are deeply grateful to have Deb on our team!”

“Nicole was an absolutely incredible sitter! Our boy Felix had a blast staying with her while we went skiing. She sent us frequent updates and was extremely communicative and accommodating and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”

“Christina took amazing care of Max while we were in Burlington last weekend. At the end of his visit, Max didn't want to leave. Thank you Christina!”

“Colleen was great! Very responsive, good-humored, and attentive to our slightly high-maintenance and quirky older dog. She even offered to do pick up and drop off when it worked out with her schedule. We will be back!”

“Katelyn took great care of our lab, Archie! She sent us pictures of him every day of playing or sleeping. Archie was very calm when we picked him up after four days. He was allowed to move freely around the house, was taken on walks and played everyday in the fenced-in play area outside. Before Archie’s stay, we visited Katelyn’s home and she spent 30 minutes introducing Archie to her dog, orienting him to her house and spending time in the play area. At pickup, she gave me a thorough review of how the stay went, things they did, how Archie got along with her dogs and some other dogs that came for daytime walks. It was evident that Katelyn is extremely competent and cares about dogs.”

“Always a great stay! Love Harmony & this family. They take such good care of our little rescue dog who is usually very nervous around people. But she loves going to Harmony's home! Thank you again. ”

“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Dawn took amazing care of Lola! She gave me updates with photos and I felt comfortable the entire time I was away. 100% would recommend and have Lola stay again!”

“Mildred did an excellent job taking care of our little dog. She was great at communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Thank you!”

About: I love animals of all kinds! I grew up on a ranch in the country and learned how to take of and be responsible for all of them. This includes dogs and cats, but also horses, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, rabbits, etc. I have dogsat for many friends and colleagues with stellar remarks from the dogs (and the people too)! Thank you for considering me to watch over your precious friend for a little bit of time. We will have fun and send photos so you can see the smile on our faces. I will take your dog for a simple walk or run or play with them in your yard as you like, we’ll have fun. I am semi-retired and have a flexible schedule so I can devote more time for your lovely pets! Weekends or weekdays are all quite good. I mostly go to the pets home and respect the owners wishes to go for walks, hikes, and/or play. At my home we have property.

“This is the first time leaving George with Melanie. We spoke on the phone before I left him and I was pleased with the questions she asked to get to know my dog and how to best care for him. He was well cared for while I was away and I would not hesitate to have her care for George again.”

“My two dogs loved staying with Danielle, and really appreciated the picture updates during their stay.”

“Sabrina took good care of my Pomsky pup.”

“Juliana is so sweet. I was so grateful she was able to adjust timings for pick up and drop off. And most importantly, Gal loves her.”

“Jessica is an awesome dog sitter. My dog Ollie has spent many stays with her. She's super attentive and nurturing. Ollie is always in good spirits when I pick him up. She is very reliable and accommodating.”

“Karen and her family took incredible care of my 90 pound lab mix. My dog became part of the household in a short 24 hours. I’ll definitely use her again when I’m in the area.”

“Our pup came back a happy girl! We received photos and updates from Colby during the overnight stay , very appreciated. Colby is also easy to talk to. I think our pup would love to visit again! Thanks Colby!”

About: I love animals of all sorts! I've spent most of my life with dogs at home, and also have some experience with hedgehogs. I'm reliable, responsible, and punctual - whether you need help during the work-week with intermittent dog walking, or someone to look after your pet while you're away, I'll make sure s/he is getting the appropriate care. I also recognize that different animals have different needs, and want to work with you to make sure your pet gets the best possible care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I'm available for boarding dogs on weekends and holidays, as well as smaller critters during the week. I can also walk your pup on weekday evenings. I do not currently have any dogs or cats, so your dog would have me to themselves! (I do have one hedgehog at home, but he is secure and separate from any other pets.)
