Dog Boarding in Newington

“5 Stars – Ashley is an Absolute Gem! I honestly can’t say enough good things about Ashley. She has been watching my two English bulldogs, Winston and Bentley, for over a year now whenever I travel, and she is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. From the moment we met her, both boys were instantly smitten. Now, every single time I ask, “Do you want to go see Ashley?!” they lose their minds with excitement—tails wagging, happy snores, the full bulldog drama. That alone tells me everything I need to know about how much they love her. Ashley creates such a safe, fun, and loving environment. She’s incredibly responsible with their medications (a few daily meds and eye drops), follows all instructions to the letter, and sends the best photo and video updates while I’m away so I never have to worry. She genuinely spends time with them—lots of play, cuddles, and supervised fun with her other well-mannered boarding dogs. When I pick them up, they’re happily exhausted from all the playtime and come home with that perfect “I had the best vacation” bulldog grin. I trust Ashley 100% with my fur kids and feel so lucky to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dogs like they’re her own, look no further. I recommend her without any hesitation and will continue booking with her every time I travel. Thank you, Ashley, for being so amazing! 🐾❤️”

“I went on a one-month trip with my dog, who was well taken care of by Kane and Colette. They sent me lots of pictures so that I could travel carefree.”

About: I've had large dogs my entire life, including a special needs dog and police-trained K9 dogs. I have owned and operated a farm hotel in Brazil for the past 5 years, where I was the primary responsible for all daily care, injections, medical treatments and behavioral work with the animals (5 large dogs and multiple farm animals), so am very comfortable administering any special care your animal may need. I have also rescued & fostered nearly a dozen dogs from the street and helped them find forever homes. I love all animals and understand each one is different with unique personalities. The pics on my profile are from my farm. I work from home which allows me to always be present to keep your pet company, and love taking small cuddle, walk and play breaks throughout the day to break up my desk routine. Having extra dogs is the perfect excuse to stretch my legs! I live alone in a spacious apartment downtown Portsmouth where I can board up to 2 large dogs or 3 small dogs at a time. I am only a 5min walk from the Mill Pond dog park and can take your dog for several walks throughout the day. I can also crate your dog if they prefer it. I can administer medication and provide any special treatment necessary. I treat all pets as my own, like members of my family.

“Alyssa was great! Was able to take my pup on very short notice, was extremely communicative, and helped work on his manners while I was away. I would absolutely trust Alyssa to watch your dog.”

“Veska and her husband took great care of George! She sent lots of updates with pictures on how George was doing and was very accommodating with my late request when my other dog sitter had to cancel due to sickness. George loved staying with them!”

About: I'm an animal lover and have grown up with all types of animals. I have been trusted taking care of neighbors, friends, and families pets for many years. My sister is a veterinarian so I often get the pet questions. I will go above and beyond for your pet. I work from home Monday and Tuesday so I am free to go for walks and drop by your house most of the time these days. I am in the office Wednesday through Friday and will have less time but still available. Weekends are free unless I'm away. I live on an acre of land. It is not a fully fenced yard but it is set back in a small, quiet neighborhood on a dead end road. I have an indoor cat.

“James and his family were very gracious and flexible. We were initially a bit reticent because our Wally can sometimes be inpatient with young children. James went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. It sounds like Wally had a grand time and fit in well. Wally was very relaxed when we picked him up. We hope that we can work with James and family in the future!”

“Shana was truly an exceptional sitter and we feel so lucky to have found her. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtful and prepared she was — she even had a clipboard with notes ready, which immediately made us feel comfortable and confident leaving our dog in her care. Throughout the stay she sent so many photos and detailed updates, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing exactly how things were going and seeing how happy our dog was. Our pup ended up having a bit of a GI issue while we were away, and Shana handled it with such calm confidence and care. She clearly knows dogs incredibly well and was so composed and knowledgeable in every situation. She even cooked rice and chicken for her to help settle her stomach and kept us updated on how she was doing, which meant so much to us. Shana, her husband Dylan, and their dog Cleo created such a warm, loving environment. It genuinely felt like our dog was being cared for by people who truly understand and love dogs. We are so grateful for the care she gave our pup and would trust Shana with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Jamie was great with our dog Roo! We have a rescue that can have a hard time in new places, but Jamie made her feel comfortable and took good care of our pup while we were away.”

“Nicholas was great! He was super flexible with a meet & greet given we didn't leave anywhere near his home, which we appreciated so much. He sent lots of pictures and even gave us a helpful tip re: our puppy's leash. Definitely recommend!”

Ally S.

“Kristin & James were absolutely wonderful for our two dogs. They accommodated a last minute booking for two. We received so many wonderful photos of our pups adventure. If you are looking for an amazing place for your dogs definitely consider Kristin and James! We are so thankful!”

“Sheila was wonderful … took lots of pics and videos and let me know how she was doing. Bessa loved it there and loved her dog Dakota who’s a sweetheart. Can’t say enough good things about Sheila .. will def have Bessa stay again.”

“Katherine is wonderful and our first pick of anyone to watch our dog Arrow. Even when he gives her a little trouble (like a bout of diarrhea), Katherine handles it in stride and is a great person to trust with your pup.”

“Cecilia was awesome. I was able to book on super short notice and she took such good care of my boy with lots of activities, a bath, and photos for me! Highly recommend!”
