Dog Boarding in Newport, VT

“Absolutely comforting family to leave your pet with. As much as we missed Koda while we were away we knew he was in good hands. Samantha was great at keeping us posted on how things were going, with little messages and photos. Will definitely be contacting Samantha and her family for our next trip. Thanks again!”

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.

“Kim was terrific - we booked a little late, but was able and willing to take my little guy. She sent me pics throughout his stay so I felt comfortable. We’d definitely hire Kim again.”

“Maria is an amazing sitter. I'm so glad she is close by. My dog Aidan is 14 and I didn't want to leave him at a traditional boarding kennel. Maria provided daily updates with pics which put me at ease while I was away, I could tell Aidan had a great time with her and Lalo. Plenty of play time and outdoor excursions.”

“Brittany is the very definition of an animal lover. Her and her family treated our furry family member as one of her own and was extremely accommodating, attentive and responsive. Would recommend!”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, I provided loving care for my senior pup Brodie, who had one eye and mobility issues. I’ve looked after friends' dogs, from a nervous rescue from Ukraine to a brand-new puppy needing training. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with senior care, mobility challenges, anxious pups, and basic training-ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work remotely, so I have plenty of time for walks and cuddles throughout the day. After 4 PM, I can focus on more hands-on care and training. I’m available for boarding every day and take daily walks in a lovely enclosed dog park near Preston Park. Weekends are completely free for boarding and pet sitting/drop ins. I don’t have a dog of my own, so your furry friend gets my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks in a secure enclosed park near Preston Park—or explore other spots based on their needs.

“My first time ever leaving my little one. She did an awesome job and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: From a young age, I knew my life’s work would involve animals. I began horseback riding at age ten and quickly expanded into caring for the lesson horses, later managing a boarding barn and earning my riding instructor’s license. After moving to Vermont, I worked at an animal shelter for dogs and cats, which inspired me to pursue a degree in Veterinary Technology. For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a Certified Veterinary Technician, gaining extensive experience in animal care, health, and behavior. Now, I’m excited to focus on providing pets with comfort, safety, and companionship while their people are away. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for walks and visits. I'm available on the weekends for boarding and a couple of days during the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your family member company. We have lots of land and trails to walk on. I have a large crate available if needed.

“Simba was super happy when we picked him up. Whitney kept us updated with photos all weekend and her daughter was adorable with our dog which made us very happy!”
