Dog Boarding New Salem

“Sam and her family took excellent care of my two dogs! Communication was top-notch, and I loved to see how happy and well cared for they were. They came home content and tired, which is the best review of all. It’s clear they had a great time in your beautiful spot in the forest. Thank you so much, Sam! 🤩”

“Have used Emily once again and couldn’t be more happy with her updates and photos of Forest while I was traveling. Highly recommend her services if you need any kind of pet sitting.”

“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”

“Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!”

“Forough and Amir took wonderful and thoughtful care of our dog. They were also quick to respond to any questions and we appreciated their flexibility with timing.”

“Dorjee was wonderful with Meryl. I loved that she answered messages quickly and sent photos of Meryl on walks. Despite the great service and I thought good relationship, I was shocked that Dorjee suddenly told me she was refusing to communicate with me or do business anymore because of my questions. This sudden severence is quite upsetting to me. I so much wish she would have told me she had issues with my questions rather than suddenly ending all communication with no warning.”

“I booked Rachel last minute fully expecting for her to not respond or say she was available and she responded within minutes for my last second request. She and her family took excellent care of Hank and sent me several pictures and updates through out. 10/10. Very happy to have found someone trust worthy i can leave my dog with and have no worries without feeling like i am burdening friends or family.”

“Taylor was amazing! We had unexpected travel come up, and Taylor saved the day. It felt like they treated her like part of the family. Taylor was very responsive and helpful. I especially enjoyed the updates and pictures.”

About: I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves getting outside and enjoying some fresh air with a dog by my side. I especially enjoy walks, exploring new trails, and giving dogs plenty of time to play and get their energy out. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines for meals, walks, playtime, and downtime. I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their people are away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I work remotely 5 days a week and have plenty of time to hang with your pup! Working from home gives me the flexibility to let your dog out for potty breaks as frequently as needed. I live close to a network of trails that your dog will love! My friendly Bernedoodle is always looking for friends and will keep us company!

“Outstanding experience with Pat. I had her stay at the house and watch the dog. It is the first time I’ve done that. It was a game changer. In no small part due to the care and precaution Pat took. She came by in advance to get to know my dog and how the house worked. She asked all the right detailed questions. Things I hadn’t thought of! And then at time of transition, she ran through and tested that everything worked as she thought. Pat kept me informed both days. Made me aware of anything of concern. Inn this case GI distress on one of his walks which is not uncommon for Marvel on first day of someone new. But I sure was pleased she let me know and she let me know that it cleared by a later walk. Pat seemed unflappable, capable and careful. My dog liked her a lot as some of the pictures we of my dog having a great time. Plus he was great when I returned as was the house and plants. I will definitely book Pat again. .”

“Tracy was so sweet, very responsive, and you could tell she loves animals. She sent updates with pictures regularly and o could see he was so cared for. My dog Kanan came home a very happy pup! Thank you again Tracy!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

“I immediately felt confident that Pippa would be well cared for by Melissa. Clearly she got plenty of exercise as she slept very soundly once I got her home. Thank you Melissa!”

“Summer was lovely to communicate with and sent a lot of photos of Raven, which I loved ! Raven was super pooped when I picked her up so I know she had a lot of exercise too.”

“Amy was amazing with my Oscar! She checked in daily, sent pictures, responded quickly and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up. Thank you so much, Amy!!”

About: I've grown up with pets,and started taking care of friends and family pets 10 years ago. They've come for the day, I've watched them while the family goes on vacation. The owners love that I'm with them all the time. I take them for walks, play with them in my yard and sit with them. I really enjoy being with animals. I'm available all day everyday. I'm building my pet sitting services. I can give your pet my full attention and give them the attention they love. I have a good sized yard that your pet can hang out in. I have great walking routes that your pet will love. I also have a good inside area dedicated to pets with a couch, and recliner that they are welcome to sit on.

“Hey Trishul. Sorry for the delayed review, but I wanted to give you a shoutout for taking care of Chewie over Thanksgiving break! 🐾 First off, the whole "allowed on furniture" deal was a game-changer. Coming home to a happy pup chilling on the couch was a big win in my book. Thanks for being cool about that! I also loved that Chewie was never alone in the house. It's like she had her own vacation away from home. Knowing she had constant company definitely eased my mind while I was away. And that picture you took? Genius move. The fridge magnet was such a thoughtful touch. Every time I reach for the milk, I get a little reminder of the good times Chewie had with you. Thanks again for everything! You're officially Chewie's favorite person (and mine too, of course). Cheers, Brya.”

About: My love for exotic animals made me a zookeeper 20 years ago, but caring for pets and farm animals is my favorite. Happy to help you! I have a fully flexible schedule. I can be there for you during days, evenings, overnights, and weekends. I have a big sweet dog to keep your pets company in our home, or in yours. It’s OK if your pets would rather no outside furry friends though. I am happy to respect your preferences on crating/gating/free range, special diets/fresh cooking, walk schedule, basic obedience, snuggles, toys, and treats. Dogs of any size and breed, and pets and farm animals of any species will be well-loved in your absence. 💛
