About: !! PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW BEFORE BOOKING !! 🐶 Mutt Season Dog Retreat is located in East Calais, VT DAYCARE & BOARDING HOURS 🕗 Daycare: 8 AM–6 PM (10 hrs included) ⏰ Early or late? +$25 by request ⛺ Over 10 hrs = boarding rate 🛏 Boarding: 24 hrs from drop-off 🕒 2–8 hrs late = +50% nightly 🌙 8+ hrs late = +100% (extra night) Please confirm drop-off/pickup times when booking. Unplanned overages may be charged. MUST LOVE DOGS & CATS Boarding + Daycare in our home I live with four other people: one human (my partner Jason), one canine (a 2-year-old Border Collie Poodle girl), and two felines (a 1-year-old girl and a 13-year-old queen). All of them are very friendly and well socialized. However, this means that if I board your dog, or take them in for daycare, they have to be familiar and respectful with cats, and well-socialized with dogs. Ideally they love playing and chasing (but not the cats). I work from home on my budding dog business, and I am enrolled in two different prestigious academies, studying canine behavior and training. It is easy for me to have another dog around, but I will require a visit to my house first to ensure the dogs get along, and your dog won't chase my cats. Ideally, we go for a walk together first, to give the dogs the opportunity to meet on neutral turf. I will only take one guest dog at a time. They'll get to play to their heart's content with my dog in a fully fenced large yard. My partner Jason and I just love all animals. I will be your sitter / primary caretaker, but in our home, Jason will give a lot of additional affection and attention, when he's around. I’ve been a dog parent for over 20 years, and have lots of experience with all ages and special needs. I am very diligent about catering to your dog’s specific needs and keeping you updated as frequently as you like, including lots of pictures. FORCE-FREE POLICY I will never use choke, prong, slip, or e-collars of any kind. If you want me to take your dog on walks, please bring a harness for safety. I usually drive my own dog to various trails in the area every morning and we go 3+ miles, I'd be happy to take yours on hikes, too, if they like car rides and can handle the exercise. Your dog will be with me and my dog all day long. Throughout the day, I take frequent breaks and let them out, be it for more walks, or a game of fetch or chase in our large yard. As soon as I'm certified as a dog trainer, I'll be happy to take on training as well. I will watch your dog in my home. I’ll adhere to their normal schedule and needs. They'll have a friendly play buddy in my own dog.
“Gwynn was great with our dog, Friday! She successfully administered her medication as needed and sent us plenty of pictures and videos during her stay. It was clear at the end of her stay that Friday was well cared for and very comfortable with Gwynn. We will absolutely be bringing her back as needed in the future!”

She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home most days. Being a mom, I’m around most nights. I am also available most weekends.

“Christina was wonderful. She was so kind and considerate and thoughtful. She welcomed my very large boxer into her home, and took great care of him. She really went above and beyond and sent me pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!”
“Zachary took such great care of my 3 year old Jack Russell. He came outside with a treat to get on her good side right away, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. My mom picked her up and said how happy Mila was with Zachary. 10/10! I will definitely be booking with Zachary again in the future.”
“Kate was wonderful with our dog Cricket. She took him on short notice, brought him on a hike and sent us cute pictures. Best of all is her majestic dog Cedar, who immediately made friends with our pup. Taking Cricket to Kate’s place felt like the best type of summer camp in gorgeous Vermont woods. We will absolutely be booking again soon. Cannot recommend Kate and Cedar enough!”

About: I work remotely for an international development organization based in DC. My schedule is flexible, leaving me plenty of time to spend outdoors with some new furry friends! I have always loved taking care of dogs and come from a large, dog-owning family. I have extensive experience dog walking and sitting both small and large breeds, from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Labs to Bernese Mountain Dogs! I currently own a 4 year old white shepherd named Storm who loves to walk and play with other dogs. I am open to taking our pups on walks together, on trail hikes, or to the dog park. Available for daily walks, drop in visits, and dog sitting. I look forward to meeting you! Also open to discussing boarding in our home, pending meet and greet with my dog Storm. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible when taking care of dogs. Happy to work with you on a recurring schedule, or for one-time walks/visits! I work remotely full-time from home and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog, Storm, out for short (less than 30 min) and longer walks (over 1 hour) 2-3 times a day. We also enjoy using nearby trails, as well as the trails on our property. I currently live in a farmhouse in Royalton. There is no fenced in area, but we have trails on our property for dogs to walk (on leash) or run (depending on your comfort and their recall).

Julia T.
“When there's a spider in the house, Julia gently catches it and releases it outside. She's a lover of animals, especially dogs. I watched her take care of two Schnauzers for the last 8 years, and they were the luckiest and healthiest dogs on earth (she taught them to love their veggies). Her life revolved around the happiness of them both, everything else came second. Your dogs will be in extremely good hands with Julia, well loved, healthily snacked, exercised and pampered. They'll be the center of her universe while they're in her care.”

Laurie P.
“There are three things that set Laurie apart from other dog sitters: 1. She is reliably caring and understanding with our pet. She gets our dog, and loves her quirks. 2. Laurie is totally dependable. She trekked through 12’’ of snow up a steep driveway to visit our pet on a cold, winter morning. 3. Laurie is proactive about resolving problems whether they are behavioral, medical or something else. If your pet won’t take her medicine, she can handle it. If your pet needs some extra TLC, she can handle it. Laurie also walks our dog, sits with her and gives her much-needed attention and checks in with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend her.”
Hannah G.
