Pet Boarding Seymour

About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.

“Emma was super helpful and kind to my doggy during an overnight boarding. I’ll definitely book again.”

“She was efficient and extremely nice and I can definitely tell Pepper had fun. Will definitely recommend her services again and will definitely be booking again. I’ve already told my friends who are pet owners”

Nikea P.

“Mikayla and Justine were both amazing with our dog Lew! He can be a little nervous, and they went out of their way to keep him comfortable and happy while we were away. We also got in depth notes about his day along with pictures everyday, which was so helpful! We will definitely use them again -- great sitters!”

“Tina was great! She was flexible on timing, very communicative, sent great pictures of our dog, and he came home happy. Would recommend her highly and look forward to using her in the future.”

“Our golden retriever stayed for 8 days with Diana and was so happy that he did not want to leave to come home. He was cuddled and loved by the whole family all the time. He became a part of their family. Diana kept me up to date with daily photos which we loved. Highly recommend.”

“Michal was excellent and took great care of my baby kitty Korra! She would also send daily updates and photos which we really appreciated. Korra seemed very happy and well taken care of, would definitely book Michal again :)”

About: I've been a chorkie mom for 15 years and I'm happy to say Pinky is still going strong! I have 6 years of experience taking care of 2-3 dogs at a time for family and friends, including senior dogs who require a little more care and affection. I love spending any free time I have playing with and caring for animals. I'm a part-time registered nurse. During my off days, I am available to play and care with your fur babies. I am also available for boarding during the week and on weekends but will have to be notified ahead of time. Safety is my priority for pinky which will be the same for your dog. Spacious backyard with cameras surrounding the property. Dogs will not be left unattended at any moment while outside. Out of an abundance of caution, dogs in my care will get an apple air tag attached to their collar. Kitchen counter tops and table will be cleared during their stay to avoid anything potentially harmful.

“Rich was an amazing and attentive caretaker. We got updates everyday with photos. Rich’s house is a dogs paradise and we felt so happy knowing our pup was well cared for and having such a great time with the other pups. 10/10!! We would definitely recommend Rich to anyone looking to have their dog taken care of while away. We had a delayed flight on our way home and Rich was super communicative and accommodating. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using him again in the future!”

“Gwynne did a great job with my pup. She has separation anxiety and she made sure that my dog was comfortable. She sent regular updates and my pup came back happy and well cared for. Thanks Gwynne!”

Sidney D.

“Karen took tremendous care of my pup over the course of a long weekend. She has a special way with dogs and my dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. Would use both Rover.com and Karen again without hesitation.”

About: I am a Marine and Army veteran with a passion for dogs. I love all dogs no matter what size they are. I’m a decent sized guy so hyperactive or stronger dogs are no problem for me. The more playful, the better. If your pet loves to run, I’ll run right along with them. If your pet is more inclined to be on the inside, I’ll be right there. I’ll take care of all needs. Please Note: Although I love all pets especially dogs, I’m unfortunately allergic to cats. My most available times are on the weekend but I am also available during the week and can fit almost any time into my schedule. I will provide your pet with all the attention they’ll need plus more. I will be able to take them on walks around your neighborhood, play games with them, feed them, and give them their needed bathroom breaks. The house rules you have established for them will be maintained at all times.

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.

“Terragaye was great with my dog, Macie. She responded quickly to my texts and sent updates with pics. I was very happy with Terragaye’s quality of care. I’d use her again!”

About: I grew up with a sweet lab, Pudge, who was my best friend. When we lost him, it left a hole in my heart. Making sure that other people feel that their furry friends are safe and loved when they can’t be there to do that for them allows me to honor Pudgey’s memory. I have 10+ years of experience with pets of all ages and kinds and am happy to provide references if you’d like! I don’t work a traditional 9-5 so I have more flexibility in my schedule to spend time with your pets. I’m typically available Monday through Sunday Regardless of whether pets are in my home or the owner’s I follow directions provided by the owner in order to keep things with consistent for the animals. In my own home, I try to keep things much the same as if the pet was in it’s own home to avoid too much change making your furry friends uncomfortable/upset

“Janalee was great with our 14 week old puppy for a weekend! She sent us many pics/videos, and was always updating us. This was our first time boarding our pup and would highly recommend!!”

About: One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :) I work remotely on Mondays, which gives me flexibility during the day. Evenings I am available after 5:30pm to check-in on your fur babies. I also have more times available over the weekend. I can provide care between 10am-10pm on weekends, but I am unable to indicate that given the app settings. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

“Theresa and her family were wonderful hosts for Oliver! They welcomed him into their home over Thanksgiving at the last minute and treated him as if he was their own dog. She kept me updated throughout his stay and I never had to worry how he was doing. I wish every dog sitter was as good as Theresa and her family. Thank you so much!”

About: Pets been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I am a real dog mom and my family and I have been first priority for friends and family when a dog, rabbit or another pet were in need of a home away from home. We love animals. I am pretty flexible with my schedule and can usually move things around. (And if I can’t go my daughter at 16 will be happy to be there for you and your pet.) Our own garden is fenced all around and is a great playground for all dogs. I love to bring your dog here doing the day or I’ll just stay in your home with your pet.

“Wonderful experience boarding our dog! Kristen allowed us to do a meet and greet with her cat before booking, to ensure that her home was a good fit. Despite being Christmas week, Kristen was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. She was great at communicating and took amazing care of Raya! ❤️”
