Dog Boarding in South Franklin, VT

“Sarah is one of the few people we trust to take care of our 2 labs while we are away. We appreciate her communication and it is obvious that she cares for our dogs like they are her own. Thank you!”

About: I have always been around dogs and other pets since I was a baby, and have always loved and cherished them. As an adult we have raised and taken care of three cats and dogs. While in the military for 10 years, I was responsible for taking care of many other pets, especially dogs, for other service members while they traveled or deployed. My dog Nigel and I tend to make fast friends with any other dogs we meet! I recently got out of the military, and moved back home to Vermont. I am currently not working, and will be working on online college courses from home for the foreseeable future. Therefore I have a very flexible schedule, and can make all the time necessary to keep any pets entertained and well taken care of! I have a very sweet four year old male English Cream Golden Retriever, named Nigel, who loves friends more than anything (other than treats) and will be my permanent doggie daycare assistant. We have a large 2.5 acre property that is partially fenced, with large yard space to run in, and wooded nature trails in the back for walks and lots of sniffs. We are also about 5 minutes away from a beautiful dog park and miles of nature trails that we try to go to every day.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling pretty anxious to be honest. Anneke was so great, willing to do a meet and greet to make sure honey was comfortable, and provided regular updates/ photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”

“I seldom leave my dog behind when traveling, but it was SO great knowing that he was safe and happy staying at Michele’s place. She sent pictures and daily updates so that I knew my pup was okay. It was also very clear that he got his far share of exercise, he slept all day!! Thanks again !!”

“Elsie had a wonderful time with Chelsey and her family. Chelsey sent us lots of pictures. Elsie spent a lot of time outside playing and loved the family dog. We will happily use Chelsey in the future!”

“Hannah was great! She was flexible and accommodating and my pup looked very happy after her stay 😊”

“Our second time using Jackie! They take great care of pansy and are very attentive to all of her specific needs. We felt totally comfortable with them and could enjoy our vacation while getting cute pictures and updates on her!”

“Thank you Linda. You were great with Toby. I could tell after 6 full days with you Your communication is always prompt and clear. Your photos update are perfect and appreciated. I would highly recommend Linda to take care of your dog. Thank you again Linda.”

“Laura was awesome and very communicative. It was really nice to leave Frida knowing she had a lot of space to roam and being treated really well. I think she had a great time!”

“Kimberly & Nick were amazing with Piper! They were willing to meet Piper before her stay and meet the dogs in their family. Pictures and a quick update were sent to us each day during our trip. Couldn't recommend Kimberly & Nick any more than the already given 5 star review! Thanks again you two!”

“Donald is a fantastic caregiver, and his set up on the hill is amazing, a pond to cool off, lovely home, and plenty of space for a happy dog to become even happier. My poodle Rosy had a blast at “dog camp” with Luna and Donald. Already reserving a second booking.”

“Our dog Omelette absolutely loved her stay with Stephanie and John! She had a blast playing with her pups in the backyard and Stephanie sent us lots of photos so we always felt connected. I'd definitely book a stay for Omelette with Stephanie and John again and would recommend them :)”

“Suzie-Anne et sa famille ont été merveilleux avec notre belle Olive! Nous avons senti une véritable amour des animaux. Olive est revenu avec le sourire de son séjour! :) Merci beaucoup!”

About: I’m a dog owner myself. I have been around many dogs for the past 6 years. I’m caring and I adapt to your dog needs. I’m currently a student, mostly at home. I’m hiking daily and Jack’s always come along on the mountain, we can bring your dog too and have dog’s date. I have a fenced backyard and I have a second crate if it’s needed for your dog. My home is a very dog friendly place.

“Brittany was incredible with our fur babies! She updated us frequently with pictures and videos. She kept in constant contact. Drop off and pick up were both extremely easy and convenient. Anytime going forward, I’ll be using her services!”

“First time using Rover and Andrea was awesome. She was super responsive, punctual, loving and caring to our dogs (ages 5mth, 2 & 3 yrs). We couldn’t have had a better experience and would definitely use Andrea’s services again and again!”

“We recently went on an overseas trip and needed somewhere for our pup to stay. We definitely didn't want to board him at a kennel/doggie daycare, so reached out to Eric. I can't put into words how happy we were with Eric & his family for how they took care of Jerome. Frequent photos and updates allowed us to enjoy our trip while knowing that Jerome was being treated as part of their family. Well definitely be reaching out to Eric again if/when we need a place for Jerome to stay. Would rate 10 stars if we could, such a great experience (for us and Jerome) :)”

“Katelyn was amazing! She sent us great pictures every day, and it was clear our pup was having a blast and very comfortable. Communication was awesome and she was super flexible. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: Ive been around animals since I was young. My puppy is turning 4 this year, his name is Alvah! Since having him i’ve developed skills in training puppies, grooming, walking, bathing, feeding, playing, and overall care that animals deserve. I’ve been around blind dogs and senior animals who need medications or extra support. The number one thing i’ve learned is listening to my intuition. An animals demeanor, look in their eyes, body language, and energy says more than words ever could. Sometimes it feels like I know that they are thinking! I believe there is something special about connecting with another creature outside of your own species. That being said I adore all animals of any gender, size, age, condition, and personality:) I currently work two jobs, both part time. My days off are Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday and Thursday I tend to work night shifts but that is not consistent as my schedule changes based on what my job needs. Friday-Sunday I work during the day and usually have the evenings to myself after 4pm. On the bright side both of my jobs are flexible and understanding. If there are any concerns about time or availability please feel free to communicate that with me and we can work it out! I live in a basement apartment, there is a fenced yard. The neighborhood is great for walks, and there are fun trails in the area. The family I rent from does have a small high energy dog, but it is rare that we are in the backyard at the same time. As for my puppy he goes back and forth between my family and I. So if your pet likes company or is better alone, either works! I try to walk him 2-3 times a day and he goes out to do his business every 1-2 hours. If there are certain instructions you have for your pet or home rest assured I will follow them! I am a clean and organized person in my home and in others. I believe communication and honesty is so important, for both parties to feel safe and happy.

“I would be absolutely delighted for Miranda and her partner to sit Juno again. They were communicative, easy to coordinate with, and live in an area surrounded with beautiful outdoor space. It was sad picking Juno up bc she and Chip became such pals that they both whined as they parted ways 😭 I’ll reach out if we visit the area again!”
