Dog Boarding in South Barre, MA

“Michael was great! His attention to detail and love for what he does is evident in the way he took care of Jax for a week while I was out of town. He made sure Jax’s first time with him was as comfortable and easy as possible, and Jax came back refreshed and well-taken care of. I highly recommend Michael for anyone who needs someone to look after their pups.”

“Dorothy was great - she and her family made Bruno feel very welcome and secure and kept us updated while we were away. He has a special diet and daily medication and she was great with giving that to him. Definitely will book again.”

“Roxy was clearly in great hands with Neeru and her loving family. Her child loved Roxy, they went out for lots of walks and were able to run in the large fenced yard, and it was clear that she was getting plenty of attention and affection. She and Neeru’s pup Caro got along great and were playful together. We got frequent updates about her activities. Would absolutely book again!”

“First time using Rover and the service was so rewarding. Kayla and family treated Quinn like one of their own. Walks every day and the pictures kept me at ease that leaving him behind did not make me a bad dog mom! Kayla was so friendly and made this experience more than personable. I would recommend her to any family. Top notch service from start to finish. Thank you for the flexibility and love Quinn received. What you do for animals does make a difference! Hugs from Quinn till next time.....”

“Roxy had a great time with Jacquie’s pups and another one who was staying with her for the weekend. She clearly takes great care of them, getting outside a lot despite the snow and appreciating Roxy’s affectionate ways <3”

“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”

She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay. Louie had the best time and felt lots of love staying with Erin!”

“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”

“Melissa is an excellent caregiver for my chocolate lab, Zoey! Her texts and pictures provide information and a great deal of comfort to me highlighting Zoey’s stay. Thank you again Melissa for all you do to make my vacation stress free as I am convinced that Zoey is also having a great time on her “vacation”!”

About: Hey, my name is Brenda. I work from home full time as a social worker for the state of MA and my husband is State Trooper. We have 2 little girls, aged 3 and 4 and a furry mate, Ace, a 7 month old German Shepard. Both my husband and I have grown up taking care of our family pets and believe a family isn’t complete with out a little furry friend! I would love to spend time and care for your pets needs! I only accept one client per time, so my undivided attention will be given both to our dog, Ace, and your furry friend! *Ace does well with both large and small breeds. I work from home full time and am always present for any of your pets needs. Normally I do potty trips every 3 hours and feeds 2/3 times per day. We live 3/bed, 2/bath, 3/floor house with an a huge yard. The yard is not fenced, if your dog is not trained for recalls he will not be let off the leash unless we are at a dog park (if owners agrees to allow dog to travel to dog park).

“Pat was kind, communicative, and was easy to work with. We have a timid rescue with peculiar needs and triggers, and she put in the effort to put our dog and us at ease. We appreciated the pictures with updates while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and truly treat them like family. I grew up in a home with four dogs, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I also adopted and lovingly cared for a difficult senior dachshund for years, which gave me valuable experience with patience, senior dog needs, routines, and extra attentiveness. Today I have a large Bernedoodle, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well as energetic pups who need exercise and structure. I’m active and love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor time when appropriate, while also making sure they get plenty of affection, snuggles, and supervision. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love dogs. I understand every dog is different, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day for the pets in my care. Because I’m home most of the time, dogs get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship instead of being left alone for long stretches. My flexible routine also makes it easy for me to stick to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I’m able to provide attentive, consistent care and make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I have a friendly, social dog who enjoys having visitors and does well with other dogs, while always making sure introductions are done thoughtfully and safely. I have a yard for outdoor time, and while it is not fenced, I use a secure runner/tie-out system and close supervision so dogs can safely enjoy fresh air, potty breaks, and time outside. I also keep dogs leashed on walks and anytime they are outdoors for added safety. If your dog is crate-trained or more comfortable with their own space, I’m happy to accommodate crating and follow your normal home routine. I always aim to keep pets on their regular schedule for feeding, exercise, rest, and any medications or special instructions. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
