Pet Boarding Northford

About: I have a close connection with a well-respected, professional dog trainer. I can usually get helpful tips and techniques on short notice, which I have used to successfully train puppies on basic commands (sit, stay, etc). I have 1 cat (2yrs old) who is neutered, indoor, and very shy. I work from home so I spend a lot of time caring for my pet which includes 3 mealtimes, plus play/enrichment time, and relaxing downtime each day. For dog care, I have a small fenced in yard and live in a nice area, so dog walks and outdoor potty breaks are very convenient at most times of day.

“Lori is great with our cats. She doesn’t just stop by to feed them; she brushes them and plays with them too. She goes out of her way to make sure their routine is maintained as much as possible while we’re away and we greatly appreciate it.”

“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

“Yajaira is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! She is experienced, confident, and professional. I had zero doubts about leaving my pup with her for 4 days after our meet and greet, and I was right. Mia was able to run around, and received all the love from Yajaira that she usually gets with me. I would choose Yajaira every time in the future. Thank you from Mia and I <3”

About: I've owned dogs all my life and have dog sat in some capacity for family and friends for the last 10 years. I love dogs and treat each like my own. I'm reliable, flexible, and ready to work on short notice during summer. I'm willing to stay and house sit if my schedule permits. I love going for walks and hikes with pups and am not afraid to roll around on the floor for some playtime. I understand how important your pets are and will treat them as you would! I am willing to administer medicine if necessary and am flexible to other needs of your pet. Look forward to meeting you furry baby(ies)! I am a full time teacher. During the week I can let animals out early mornings and then am usually out of work by 3. My weekends are usually free. I will abide by house rules for your pet at home. If you use gates or electric collars please let me know. Happy to bring them on walks if needed.

“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

“Such a great, loving family. They were very sweet and accommodating of my pups needs. They updated me with pictures daily and let me know how he was settling in. Overall, a really great experience and will definitely use them again in the future ❤️!”

“Bianka took great care of our dog Scooby, who presents with many challenges, including anxiety and blindness. She spent a lot of time with Scooby, such as by walking, petting, and playing with him. She even kept him company and played calming music for him when he woke up in the middle of the night. Bianka also sent frequent updates that included pictures. We are so grateful for Bianka!”

“Brianna was AMAZING with our two dogs, one young and spicy spaniel and one very old, shy puggle. She was able to accommodate both of their personalities and gave frequent updates via both text and pictures. They were very happy to come home, but our spaniel was circling her and getting love from her even after we came into her house to pick them up, showing how much he really adores her. You should DEFINITELY consider asking for Brianna to care for your beloved pups! We will absolutely be doing so again in the future!”

“Anthony kept us up to date on how our dog was doing including how she was eating. He provided us with pictures on a daily basis. Sometimes in the morning and evening.”

“After trying 4 dog sitters, we finally found Lauren and couldn’t be happier. She takes incredibly good care of pups, she’s reliable and flexible with scheduling. Even when we have last minute bookings, she’s been available every time. He’s the only sitter that our pup looks forward to seeing. And he comes back clean, with freshly cut nails. If you need a sitter you can rely on and trust to treat your baby well, call Lauren.”

Kat M.

“Steven and Claudia were very professional and took care of my dog as if he were their own. Not only this, but they accepted my last-minute booking which made everything immensely easier for me. Would highly recommend.”

Joseph Q.

“Carolina was so accommodating and understanding. I could tell my puppy enjoyed being around her and her family. She gave his his meds as she was asked to and kept him on my same routine. Would definitely book her again.”

Rochelle B.

“Jieun and Mike are amazing hosts! Our dog feels super comfortable with them and they send lots of pictures which is so appreciated! So grateful to them.”

Ellen P.

“Erika is an amazing sitter and really is so attentive to our dogs. My Charlie is a terrible eater and picks at his food, Erika took extra special time to make sure he was well fed. I loved getting pictures, multiple times a day to be able to see my boys while I was away. I highly remember Erika.”

Cindy M.

“Sai was fantastic with watching Max while we were away for the holiday weekend! There was a ton of updates with photos of how he was doing, and Sai was awesome at communicating based on my schedule while I was away. Would highly recommend!”

“Majeed took excellent care of our dog for 3 days. We appreciate his availability over the long weekend, and the regular updates he gave us (with pictures).”

Lalit P.

“Tara is a great care giver for my dog, a large lan. She has a a dog equipped home and a fenced in back yard. She’s cheerful, accommodating, and provided healthy snacks. She and her husband took her for walks multiple times per day. Totally trustworthy and communicative. Best Rover find ever!”

Regina M.

“Raeven and her family were just fantastic to our Portuguese Water Dog Donut. She came home well exercised, well loved, and excited to go back for round 2.”

“Andrea was super nice and managed to accomodate our last-minute Christmas booking. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, and our dogs looked quite happy and relaxed. Her house has a fenced-in area that they loved to play in. Most impressive of all, though, was that Andrea let the dogs into her bedroom (they are used to sleeping next to us), on Christmas no less. Our dogs seemed in great shape when we picked them up after their 3 day stay. She seems to be a very caring and careful dog sitter. We would have no hesitation in our leaving our dogs with her again. Thanks!”
