Doggy Day Care in Rutland

“Kevin watched our pug for two days while we attended the Quechee Balloon Festival. He was incredibly flexible with our plans and let us stay out much longer than originally planned. Our pup had a good time, evidenced by the 2nd day when we dropped him off and he ran right to Kevin! The other dogs were a bit noisy and inquisitive but settled right down so it wasn’t a problem. Kevin sent a few photos and video which we much appreciated. If we were in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dog with Kevin once again.”

“My baby girl ENJOYED herself! Tom was quick to respond to the inquiry and after a warming meet and greet with him and Ember, my Muna was excited to return the next morning for the day. I was anxious to send my puppy off since she hasn’t really been out of my site since I got her but all of the photos and updates from Tom most certainly helped put my mind at ease so that I could focus on work. Would recommend to others?”

“Was extremely grateful that Hope could accommodate us last minute... Hope was very kind and easy to make arrangements with... she took great care of our cavalier, Mac, while we skied at Stratton for the day. A bit off the beaten path from Stratton, but worth it for Mac to have company for the day... would trust and recommend!!”

“We could not have imagine a better place for Cooper to hang out while we ski. Bean welcomed him right away, and Sara kept us updated all day. I don’t think Cooper really wanted to leave. Great yard. We’ll be back!”

“Alyssa is above and beyond my expectation! We don’t live near the area so we were worried about leaving them in an unfamiliar area however she conducted very thorough communications with me beforehand and made sure that we get updates regularly throughout our dog’s day care session. I highly recommend her! She also has the cutest golden retriever who is super friendly with dogs! :) i’ll definitely get back to her when we have another trip around the area.”

“Samantha was wonderful! She was very responsive ahead of time with planning the logistics and sent multiple photos and updates during our pup’s day with her. I felt very comfortable knowing Millie was in good hands and would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have had dogs for all of my life. Through the years I have had a Great Dane, a Doberman, and several mixed-breed dogs. I understand the unique needs of different breeds and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine as I work from home, managing multiple online jobs. This allows me to be flexible and available throughout the day to give your pet attention, exercise, and any care they need, ensuring they feel comfortable and well-cared for while you're away. I live in a somewhat secluded area, which makes it easy to take dogs outside for walks or playtime, either on-leash or off-leash, depending on their comfort level and training. My home has plenty of space for dogs to play indoors, so they can stay active and entertained no matter the weather. I prioritize a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, both inside and outside.

“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”

“Was in a pinch for care for our lab and Sean was very accommodating and kind. Perfect day for our pup in the yard, hanging with Sean’s dogs, and getting lots of love. Great communication, plenty of pics, super responsive. Thank you!”

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who understands that every feline has their own unique personality — from curious kittens who want to explore every corner to laid-back seniors who just want a sunny spot and soft pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, including administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, and keeping litter boxes fresh. I know cats thrive on routine and trust, so I take the time to earn their comfort — whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, or just respecting their space. I’m also experienced in reading feline body language, so your cat will always feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, perfect for walks, playtime, and cuddles when you can’t be there. I believe pets feel safest when they’re treated like family. In my care, your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and a calm, comfortable environment. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles — so they feel right at home. I will always put your pet’s safety and well-being first.

“Jaimi took great care of our dog while we were skiing. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and our pup came back happy and well cared for. She was fantastic - highly recommend!”

“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.”

Elena J.

“Grace was great! Fast communication and super friendly. My dog was instantly comfortable around her, and I appreciated the pictures I got during her stay with Grace. My dog was definitely tired when I picked her up after a day with Grace!”

Caitlin B.

“Where to begin? Everything was amazing from start to finish. It’s the most comforting feeling to have someone you love (our pup) being left in safe hands. Kasey truly loves what she does and absolutely loves taking care of our little furry ones. It truly shows. We most definitely will be back since we frequent Vermont bi-annually. Thank you for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

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).

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs for my entire life. Currently, I own a small 9lb rescue, who is 11 yrs old. In the past, I have owned medium and large dogs as well, including beagles, labs, retrievers. I have professionally and personally walked and fed dogs for neighbors and friends, our furry ones are the very best!! I am a self-employed yoga instructor, with a flexible schedule. With this flexibility, I can accommodate most days and times, both weekdays and weekends. I am organized, punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and communicative. I really enjoy walking every day and it's always better with a dog! My dog, Bodhi, fetches sticks in our backyard and stills plays like a puppy, even at 11yrs old! I take him hiking regularly, as well as to the surrounding parks, which are numerous and all within walking distance from where I live.
