Dog Boarding in St Johnsbury, VT

“Barbara and Darryll are amazing!! Our Mozzy was so happy and well cared for while he stayed with them. They were quick to respond and respectful of our rules. Mozzy came home even better behaved than he had been! We are so grateful to them. It is good to know we have a great place for Mozzy to stay if we need to go out of town.”

“Our dog Willow loved her stay with Jennifer & John and hanging out with their dog Rosie. Willow's favorite part of her stay was the walks down to the river, she loves getting a little swim in when she can.”

“This was our first overnight experience outside of the family and it worked out great. The dogs felt right at home and enjoyed their walks in the park.”

“They were so great!! Lika took a ton of pictures and videos of our dog Schnappi through the weekend which totally helped my separation anxiety lol. It made us feel good to see Schnappi playing and napping and knowing he was being taken care of so well. They followed the directions we left for feeding, medication, etc. well and were really communicative. They were able to help us out last minute when our friend had to cancel on dog-sitting, which was amazing. And then when my plane was super delayed Lika was really nice about me being late to pick him up. She also went above & beyond and delivered his food bowls to us after we forgot to bring them home. All around great experience, you can tell they're dog people and I will definitely rebook with them next time we need a sitter.”

“Shannon took care of our dog for a few nights and kept in touch with us with pictures and texts. She made us feel at ease. When we picked up our dog we could tell she was comfortable with Shannon. Highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”

About: I have had a passion for animals my whole life, and love getting to care for new pets and their individual needs. I have a dog, cat, and bunny, but it’s not enough so I want to love yours! I follow detailed requests and always promise extra pets. I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely part time. I reply extremely quickly to texts and am ready to answer questions, concerns, and update you with your pets’ photos! I am great with following directions or special requests for pets and am always responsible in your home. I will make sure your fur baby is safe and sound.

About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my entire life. I'm proud to be one of the first people friends and family call when a petsitter is needed. I love walking, and I love dogs. This seems like the perfect opportunity to exercise and get my animal fix! I'm currently working full-time Monday through Friday. I can do evening walks after 5:00 PM (as weather allows) and I can do weekends between 9:00 AM - 6 PM. My current apartment doesn't allow pets, but I can housesit on weekends or in the evenings if the location is somewhat close to my work in Waterbury. I'm a long-time vegetarian, and have always had an extra sensitive heart when it comes to animals. I think that earning an animal's trust is such a privilege and gift, and I honor that. I cannot house pets in my current apartment, but I will follow the guidance and knowledge of the owners in their homes and while on walks.

“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.”

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.

“Our 6-month old puppy has had 2 stays with Piper so far. She is amazing. Our dog is fearful of strangers and needs to warm up at his own pace (which can be extremely slow at times). Piper just knew how to handle him from the get go and went out of her way to make him feel comfortable. She even discovered things that our little guy likes that we did not know. Prior to his first stay, Piper spent quite a bit of time on the phone to get as much information as possible about Milo. She even made recommendations to make him feel comfortable. While he was anxious at drop off time, he was a happy little guy after his first experience there. At the second stay a week later, I left Piper's house with him licking from her hand and not really caring that I was leaving (a huge accomplishment given his fear level). And when I picked him up, he did not even come to the door - I guess he had forgotten about me and was happily chewing on a bone, all comfy on the rug. Piper is family no. 2 to our dog!”

About: I've been taking care of pets for two decades and will love them like I love my own. I believe the best way to teach a dog is positive reinforcement and will work with whatever routines you have established with your furry family member. I work from home 3 days per week and the days are flexible except Thursday when I have to be at my office in Montpelier. I can go home on my lunch breaks for walks on the days I'm in the office (and you're close to Montpelier) and can work from your home if I'm housesitting and you have internet. As a gal in her 40s I'm pretty low key and will be very happy spending my time with your pet in your home or taking them on adventures if that's what they prefer. I love hiking and walks and have lots of friends with dogs if socialization is something you'd like for your pup.

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

“Nina was awesome! My dog Mattis had a great boarding experience. I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Nina was taking such good care of my boy. Not only would I recommend Nina to others but will be asking her to sit for Mattis again soon.”

About: I have had many breeds and ages of dogs my whole life. I look forward to assisting you with your best friend. From feeding to training and walks to the river I can’t wait to meet your best friend. Need more than dog care? I have plenty of experience with all sorts of farm animals! Currently have a flexible schedule and looking to add more dogs to my dog walk. I have a great spot to take by my house or we could head to some more well known trails. Your pup can come hang in my fenced in yard and join my pups in watching the chickens roam around. Otherwise we can stay in the comfort of their own space.

“Annie was fantastic! She took great care of our dog, sent a ton of pictures and gave frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her services.”

Michael K.

“Julia is very friendly and responsive. My dog Russell did very well at her place. The location is a bit of a drive from Lancaster NH. She really helped me out when I needed a sitter for the festival.”

About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.

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.
