Dog Boarding Shattuckville

“Ozzy had a wonderful time with Nicole and her family! Nicole was relaxed and welcoming, and encouraged Ozzy to feel at home. The weather was bitter cold but Ozzy got all his energy out tearing around their fenced backyard. Nicole was very communicative, sending frequent updates and photos, Highly recommended!”

“Brooke and her family were kind and loving to Millie! She hasn’t been with anyone but us and she isn’t a very easygoing pup so we were so relieved when Millie was so relaxed and happy in Brooke’s home. Brooke kept us updated and sent many adorable photos! I would absolutely book with Brooke again and will recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur children.”

“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”

About: I’m an active, outdoorsy person who loves getting outside and enjoying some fresh air with a dog by my side. I especially enjoy walks, exploring new trails, and giving dogs plenty of time to play and get their energy out. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their normal routines for meals, walks, playtime, and downtime. I want every dog in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their people are away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages along the way! I work remotely 5 days a week and have plenty of time to hang with your pup! Working from home gives me the flexibility to let your dog out for potty breaks as frequently as needed. I live close to a network of trails that your dog will love! My friendly Bernedoodle is always looking for friends and will keep us company!

About: I have experience in veterinary clinics as an assistant, technician, and at the front desk for a combined 3+ years. I have done petsitting for 16 years. I am well-versed in animal body language and I have experience handling pets of many temperaments, including anxious, reactive, senior, and medically complex animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness or stress, and helping pets feel safe. My background in veterinary medicine has taught me the importance of patience, reliability, and attentive care, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very pet-care friendly, and I’m used to building my daily routine around animals’ needs. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, enrichment, and monitoring animal behavior and health. I’m reliable, communicative, and make sure pets receive consistent attention and care throughout the time we spend together. I always try to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, exercised, given fresh water, and provided with plenty of attention, play, and affection. I also monitor their behavior closely for any signs of stress or illness and keep owners updated with photos and messages. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable handling medications, senior pets, anxious animals, and pets with special needs. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner since I was 5 years old! Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. My experience has a wide range. I grew up training my puppy and nurturing my kittens until they were cats, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes, personalities, and needs. I’ve also cared for my pregnant cat and her four kittens, giving me experience with both everyday pet care and more hands-on responsibilities. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the same patience, attention, and care I’ve always given my own animals! I’m a full-time college student, but I am extremely flexible! With short days of classes my afternoons and evenings are wide open! I’m open to overnight and early morning care as well! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow all feeding, medication, walking, playtime, and bathroom instructions carefully and make sure they always have fresh water and a clean environment. I love giving pets plenty of attention and companionship, while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I’m comfortable caring for both energetic and more independent pets, and I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I also believe communication is important! I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet like one of my own and leave your home just as I found it.

About: Lifelong dog person, I have cared for dozens of furry friends, mine and others. I currently have a 4 year old Shepherd Mix. Former PETCO employee and rescue volunteer I am currently working part-time and unavailable 2pm to 7pm Monday- Friday. There is some flexibility, so please ask about your specific timing needs. Thanks I will follow your instructions as well as your pet's needs, mood, and personality. I do my best to let your fur baby be comfortable and themselves.

About: Dogs and I understand each other. I've always gotten them and they've always gotten me. Maybe because I grew up with three mammoth Samoyeds and Malamutes, and shared my life with Max, my sweet Cavalier, until he passed. Beyond love and care, I'm good at training and socializing, and dogs respond to my calm, confident leadership. I once cared for a reactive dog who barked at everyone who came near her, and I was the only one who could get her to settle and listen. After a month with a young Portuguese Water Dog, her owners told me she moped after I left. But mostly I think dogs feel good around me because they sense I genuinely care about them. I believe dogs are here to teach us to love and I want every dog to experience great care. For me, good dog care starts with getting to know the dog and the people who love them. I think dogs feel safest when their sitter truly knows them. Before any stay, I like to meet you and your dog, take a short walk together, and learn the little things that make your dog feel at home. That's why every stay begins with a meet and greet. What I offer that's different: - Pick-up and drop-off for longer stays: For stays of a week or more, I'll pick up and drop off your dog anywhere within a 30 minute drive of Dalton, including Lenox, Stockbridge, and Great Barrington. One less thing to manage before your trip. My home is calm and quiet, with a large, fully fenced backyard on a peaceful street in Dalton. I work from home, so your dog has company through the day, plus walks, play, and plenty of affection. I follow your instructions to the letter so your dog's routine stays as close to home as possible, and you'll get photos and a quick update every day so you can relax and enjoy your trip. Also happy to reinforce any training your dog is working on like leash manners. How I work: Every new client starts with a meet and greet, about 30 minutes with a short walk together, so your dog and I can meet before the stay. It helps make sure we're a great match, and your dog arrives already knowing a friendly face. Boarding in my home is a great fit if your dog: Settles comfortably for stretches after the initial sniffing and cuddles to get used to a new space. Is house-trained and walks well on a leash Is not a heavy shedder or super vocal Services Boarding: 2-night minimum House sitting: 2- night minimum, 2 night maximum for first sit I'd love to hear about your dog! I work from home so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention from morning to evening. I usually walk dogs according to the schedule they are used to. In between, they can hang with me. IFeeding times will also coincide with your instructions. I'm an early riser so you are welcome to drop your dog off (with notice) as early as 7:30 am. I have a large three bedroom home with an huge fenced back yard on a quiet street near trails. It's single floor so no stairs for older dogs to contend with.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life growing up. I know how to care for them and love them correctly. I love being around pets. I currently work part time so I’m not too busy with work. I go to school 4 days a week but have plenty of time at night and sometimes during the day. I will always make sure to watch your pets. I have a yard for them to play in and have time to walk them. I have other teenage girls in my house who love pets just as much as I do.

About: I love dogs. I have a rescue her name is Snickers and shes 7 months old. I've had dogs all my life. How anyone can hurt man's best friend is beyond me. She is like my child and makes me smile, keeps me company and I dont know what I would do without her. I love her with all my heart and wouldnt trade her for the world. I would treat anyone's dog like I would my own. They are all special in their own way. I would be honored to take care of your dog, I look forward to meeting you very soon. Thank you, Robin K I work full time at home and I'm able to walk my dog and take her out anytime! I'm available all day. My Snickers would love a play mate. I dont have crate but if yours needs one you'll have to bring it. I'm very diligent in taking my pup out all day long.

“Maritza took such wonderful care of my dog Waffles while we were out of town. Her dog Coco was a sweet little friend for him, and Maritza made sure he was spoiled the whole time. She sent lots of pics and communicated very promptly. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She loves dogs and ensures they are happy puppers during their stay.”
