Dog Boarding Skeels Corner

“Sarah was fantastic. Daisy came back happy and exhausted! Lots of play and running around in the fenced-in back yard was just what she needed. Sarah was super communicative, flexible, and so easy to work with. I'll certainly bring Daisy back next time we need a sitter!”

“Savannah was great with my young very energetic dog. She is super knowledgeable and made it super easy to travel without having to worry about anything. She is very quick to respond and has a ton of experience that really shows when she is caring for your dog. Would 100% recommend to anyone.”

About: I grew up around dogs, and my family has always had at least one dog in our home. Being around dogs my whole life has given me experience caring for dogs at all stages of life, with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I've also regularly dog-sat for families over the past 6 years, which has helped me become comfortable meeting new dogs and adapting to their individual routines. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently in graduate school, and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy getting outside to walk, play, and spend quality time with dogs, which is also a great way to take a break from studying. I understand the importance of maintaining each dog's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and time to relax at home. I do my best to plan around my school schedule so each dog gets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a backyard where dogs can get outside and enjoy fresh air. Although my yard isn't fenced, I always supervise dogs and keep them on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or a client's, I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and other daily needs. I understand every dog is different, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I also keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

“Five star experience. Highly recommend. Laura is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors and she worked hard to make me feel at ease while I was traveling abroad. She updated me with photos and messages regularly. My dog absolutely loves her and her family.”

“Hannah and her family took great care of Bailey while we were gone. If we should venture away again, we will definitely use Hannah again to watch Bailey.”

“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”

“Joselyn did a PHENOMENAL job with my large senior baby! Buddy had a wonderful time with her and her sweet fluffy dog, Jack. He felt at home immediately and she did a wonderful job with keeping me updated and sent photos regularly every day! I will be using her services every time I need someone to watch my animals. I recommend her services 100%!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience, I have had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. My experience spans from handling playful puppies to providing tender care for senior pets from friends and family for over five years. I am free this July until August and otherwise I will be going to UVM this fall so my availability will vary based on my schedule. I’m not planning on taking any pets to my house since it is not pet safe. I will gladly though pet sit in your house.

“Aaron was a great fit for our dog - Miso loved spending the week with him. It took a few days for Miso to adjust to his first ever sitter and Aaron handled it well - checking in with us when he noticed that Miso wasn't eating and seemed a little home sick. By the end of the week, Miso seemed to be having a great time. Aaron sent pictures and updates throughout the week, which was really appreciated. We would highly recommend Aaron. He was open to meeting with us before we left on vacation and asked great questions (vet info, local contacts, likes and dislikes, etc). We usually leave Miso at a boarder, but since our trip was going to be longer than usual we were hoping to find someone local that could give Miso more personal attention and affection - Aaron made us feel comfortable leaving Miso with him for an extended period of time. Thanks for taking such good care of Miso for us, Aaron!”

“Dylan was great with Bode when he watched him over the weekend! Plenty of pictures, walks, and adventures during his stay. Will definitely be booking with Dylan again in the future.”

Nate G.

“Sarah and are family helped me out in a pinch with a very last-minute booking. Really appreciate it! Otis had a great time and came home tuckered out. Thanks!”

Alec J.

“Colleen was great with my dog. He is blind so generally needs a little extra love and guidance. She did excellent with all of that, and he was the happiest guy when I picked him up. Would absolutely recommend her, and I would not hesitate to book her again when I am out of town.”

Kayla D.

“Alejandra took excellent care of my cat, who is a bit stand offish, but that was okay. Alejandra's home home is comfortable with lots of places for a cat to explore. I'd definitely board Sasha with her again.”

Janet B.

“We love Hannah and Treasure! Hannah is always so kind sweet and communicative, and her dog Treasure is a dear. She was great for our high energy dog.”

Caroline A.

“Hannah took wonderful care of our miniature dachshund for the day. We had a ski trip planned and needed to have someone watch our shy girl while we were away. She was attentive, took her on multiple walks, and made pick up and drop off very easy. I definitely recommend Hannah and would have her pet sit again.”

Seth H.

“Katie was wonderful! I felt so comfortable leaving my two pups with her while I left. The daily pics and updates were great! 10/10 will have her dogsit again!”

About: Depuis mon plus jeune âge, les animaux ont toujours fait partie de ma vie. J'ai grandi entouré de chiens et de chats, développant un profond amour et un respect pour eux. J'ai toujours pris soin d'eux avec dévouement et affection. En tant qu'adulte, cette passion n'a fait que croître. J'ai eu la chance de partager ma vie avec divers animaux, établissant avec chacun d'eux un lien unique et spécial. On m'appelle souvent "Docteur Dolittle", car j'ai une capacité particulière à comprendre leurs besoins et leurs émotions. Mon expérience m'a permis d'acquérir des compétences précieuses dans les soins aux animaux, et je m'efforce toujours d'offrir le meilleur environnement possible à mes compagnons à quatre pattes. Qu'il s'agisse de promenades, de jeux ou de soins médicaux, ma connexion avec eux est indéfectible et enrichissante. Les animaux sont non seulement des amis fidèles, mais aussi des enseignants qui m'inspirent chaque jour. Je travail de la maison. Je fais mon horaire personnel alors mon horaire est tres flexible. J'ai donc du temps dans le jours pour prendre soins de vos chers animaux J'ai une cours arrière clôturer avec des l'espace pour jouer ou explorer selon l'envie de l'animal. Je suis egalement une personne active alors j'adore aller me promener. Il y a un parc a chien a quelque mètres de la maison egalement si le maître me l'autorise. Je prend toujours le temps qu'il faut avec chaque animal. Peut importe le service qui met demandé.

“Marianne et son conjoint ont pris grand soin de ma chienne Labrador, âgée de 13 mois et très active ! Leur jeune chien et la mienne se sont bien amusés ensemble, tant à l’intérieur qu’au parc à chiens. Lorsque ma chienne a eu une tique, ils l’ont retirée et ont pris soin de communiquer avec le vétérinaire à ce sujet. Je recommande Marianne sans aucune hésitation pour prendre soin de votre pitou !”

“Kelly hosted my German shepherd Justin for a wonderful summer weekend in Burlington. They had such a good time exploring the UVM campus. She was also exceptional with communication. She’s my first choice for our next stay in Burlington.”

Rob M.

“We were very pleased with Andrea's services. This was the first time our young 11 month old lab stayed overnight at a sitter's place. She is clearly experienced with these situations and the temperament of younger dogs. It was clear to us that she took great care of Kiro; that he had plenty of play time with other dogs; and he was very happy to be there. We will use her again and highly recommend her.”
