Dog Boarding South Lee

“My dog stayed two nights and two days with Brooke and was very happy. Pip (my dog) got a little snappy with Brooke's dog Suki when they were first meeting, and both Brooke and Suki were very chill about it. Brooke told me everyone settled down quickly and reported a good stay. Her calm inspired confidence. Good communication. I was disappointed to find on arrival that the yard is not yet fenced as advertised, but Brooke let the dogs play outside leashed. I believe they are working on the fence. Great dog sitter!”

“Noah and Sarah were wonderful! They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tahoe. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their hands and would absolutely recommend them to other pet parents. I’d happily book with them again!”

“This was my first experience using rover and leaving my doggo outside of my care. John and his wife were the absolute best, the sweetest souls and dolly their dog is just that, a doll! They are now my go tos and I look forward to seeing them again!!”

“Mary and Todd are the absolute best dog sitters! Their great care for our dog Toby gives us a lot of peace of mind. We know he is having a great time — it shows in the photos that Mary sends to us throughout his stay.”

“Lovely experience leaving my foster pitbull with Yvette for a weekend. Right away I noted her nice calm demeanor. Maggie is a very nervous dog, but she responded well to Yvette on first meeting, so I felt good about that. Yvette also has all the needed supplies, lots of toys and a crate, which was nice because Maggie likes to have a place to feel safe when she’s nervous. I would feel very comfortable leaving Maggie with Yvette again. :)”

“Diana was amazing and we felt at ease leaving our two pups with her. When picking them up after our quick trip it was very clear that she had already bonded with them.”

“Karina and her husband Jared are fantastic! This was our second time having them watch our dog, Nova, while we were away on vacation. Nova ends up getting her own vacation when staying at Karina & Jared's house! They always take such good care of Nova and Karina always gives us updates on Nova twice a day! We are so grateful that we found such amazing people to care for our pup when we are away! We (especially Nova) look forward to seeing Karina and Jared again soon! Thank you both so much for always being there and taking such amazing care of our Nova!! 10/10 recommendation!”

“My dog had a wonderful day with Manolita!! She’s so kind and caring and made us both feel comfortable! When I picked him up from his stay he was very comfortable and calm, which was a great sign! She also sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I loved! I highly recommend her!”

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.

“We had SUCH a wonderful experience with Meghan & Sean—and so did our pup! Our 3yo dog is nervous around new people and can be reactive. We were worried about how she would do staying with a family with young kids. Meghan & Sean listed to our worries and helped up brainstorm ways to put our dog at ease. And it worked like a charm! We were so grateful to the extra time Meghan & Sean spent to make both the humans and the doggo feel positive about the plan. We loved getting pics of the crew on their daily walks. It was also really really REALLY nice to see how much love Meghan and fam have for all animals, and how positive they were about our sometimes tricky dog. Our dog had a great week and we will definitely return to Meghan & Sean for future doggy needs, whether it is another week or a shorter visit. Highly recommend, zero notes!”

“My dog loves Kim and her kids so much. She was so excited to see them on her last stay. I felt like the mom of a three year old being dropped off at preschool when the kid runs in and starts playing with their friends. I'm so glad our dog is so happy at Kim's place!!!”

“This was our first time leaving our 8 month old puppy but from the moment we all met Kelly & Nabil, we knew we found a good fit!! They are more then welcoming and Stella immediately took to them both. While we were away we received daily updates and pictures which allowed me to truly relax knowing she was being taken care of and having fun with them and her new pup friends! We will most definitely use them again in the future!!”

Lisa Z.

“Logan took such good care of my puppy during her first time away from home and communicated with me throughout her stay. He shared videos and photos and it was clear she was treated very well and was having a blast. She loved his dog, too, which was a great added bonus. We will definitely be back!!”

About: I’ve worked at animal hospitals for 28 yrs I’m reliable and good with peoples pets I can give meds if needed insulin as well I get lots of waging tails my way I prefer come to your home so your pet is more comfortable and has there familiar surroundings and all the things they’re used to toys their bowls, etc. I can stay the night if needed I like staying with pets at there home this helps also with stomach upsets and stress of being somewhere new and unfamiliar I like the pets to be able to keep there routine

“I only have great things to say about our experiences with Shawna! She's great at communicating - she was always quick to respond to qurstions and sent daily updates and pictures. She is also just a very nice person who immediately puts you at ease when leaving your pup in her care. She took great care of our guy and we will definitely use her again!”

“We were so fortunate that Kaylee was able to accommodate our somewhat last minute request to look after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend. She had such a blast with Kaylee’s dog and came home tired and happy! Thanks again!”

About: I pawsitively love animals and have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, turtles and lizards since I was very young. As an adult, I adopted a shelter puppy and trained him myself. He's my best friend and we like to be very active. Denali and I love to hike, walk, play in the snow, visit the dog beach, and go to the dog park. He is very well socialized and meets many friends when we go on outings together. I am currently studying to become a certified dog trainer and will be getting certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I'm currently working a full time job, however my fenced in yard allows me to let your dogs board and stay over at my house with continuous access to the outside. Additionally I have supervised weekend availability. I am very flexible and strive to meet your pets need in order for your four legged friend to have the best experience while you are away. I love to be outdoors, have your dog in my home or can visit your home according to your needs. If your four legged friend is dog friendly, I'd be more than happy to bring over Denali to give them a friend to play with.
