Dog Boarding Stratford

“Denise was wonderful. Very sweet and caring personality. Her home was clean and beautiful. She sent pictures daily and took great care of our baby. I would definitely recommend. 10 outta 10.”

“Brooke is the absolute best! I am very particular about who I leave my dog (Theo) with, particularly because of his small size and his separation anxiety. Brooke was phenomenal the entire week that we were on vacation and Theo was so happy. She took him on walks, played with him, let him take naps and snuggle with her, and she even worked on training to help with his anxiety. She even dropped him off for us after we'd been on the road all day. She sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, and he looked so happy every time and it was such a relief to not have to worry about him while we were away. Brooke absolutely goes above and beyond for her clients and I would highly recommend her to anyone! ♥️”

“The boarding of my dog was fabulous. I got regular updates and photos to see how he was getting along with the other dog. when I picked him up He was nice and happy-naturally glad to see me- but still very happy with Tara. Their attention to detail was wonderful and I know he was taken care of with love. There was so much room for him to play and run and so many things to explore I know we had a terrific vacation with them. I am definitely going back.”

Denise S.

“She’s the best ! I had a last minute family situation and she was able to accommodate getting my dog later in the evening and kept her longer than expected! Thank you !”

Lacey W.

“I can’t say enough good things about Nikki! She treated my big baby just like her own and put up with me being overly cautious before Finn’s stay with her. She is excellent at communicating and sent lots of sweet messages and pictures while we were gone. I almost can’t console Finn because he misses her and her pups! He probably can’t wait for us to go away again so he can go visit Nikki.”

Rachelle W.

“Hermione had a great experience with Amber. She loved playing with her children. Hermione’s first boarding experience was great. Looking forward to getting Amber again!”

Freddie H.

“This is the 2nd time Chris watched my Bella. She enjoyed herself. He sent me pictures of her throughout the stay. I had special food for him to feed her, and that was no problem. She will be going back.”

Angela M.

“We highly recommend Melanie and Randy. They welcomed Dean Martin and treated him like their own. Our flight home was cancelled and our arrival was almost 24 hours later than planned but Melanie and Randy were flexible and accommodated our request to extend Dean Martin's stay. It made a stressful travel situation less stressful knowing that Dean Martin was well loved and cared for. Thank you!”

Christy R.

“Emily was an amazing sitter! Luna stayed with her for a week and Emily was always responsive when I reached out to check in. Emily is a great resource if you need a sitter for an extended trip.”

Mike C.

“When I picked up Jackson, I was not sure he wanted to leave his vacation with Kathryn and her wonderful family! Sure he was excited to see us, but, then he laid down next to Kathryn as if he was feeling pretty comfortable at her home! She sent photos and write ups daily and this made me feel so much better about leaving him in her care. It was like he knew the family forever! This was the first time we went away without him in 8 years so I was a bit anxious about leaving. I would have no problems leaving him again if I have another opportunity to do so. I highly recommend Kathryn and I know he was very happy being there and well cared for. He enjoyed his daily walks and never missed a meal and perhaps, Me!!!! If there were 10 stars I would click everyone of them!”

“I was nervous at first since it was my first time using Rover, but Larissa completely put my mind at ease. She offered a meet and greet beforehand to see how my dog, Buddha, would adjust—and it went great! Larissa was warm, professional, and clearly loves animals. Buddha had a fantastic time and came home happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found her—we’ll definitely be coming back from now on!”

About: Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I have professional experience working as a dog handler with detection canines, which has given me hands-on experience with canine behavior, handling, safety, and maintaining a structured environment. I understand that every pet has a different personality, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to provide appropriate care for each pet entrusted to me. Safety is always the priority for your pet, my family, other animals, and anyone interacting with your pet. I believe good boarding should provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is being cared for by someone who is attentive, responsible, and experienced around animals. Pets are housed in a secure, indoor, climate-controlled kennel area where they can remain comfortable regardless of the weather. They also have access to a fenced outdoor kennel area that provides additional space, fresh air, and shelter from the elements. I provide a clean, structured, and secure environment and will follow your pet's normal feeding schedule, medications, routines, and other care instructions as closely as possible. Whether you're away for a night, a weekend, or a longer trip, my goal is simple: keep your pet safe, comfortable, well cared for, and give you confidence that they're in capable hands while you're away. I work offsite during the day, but I have a strong and dependable family support system at home to ensure pets receive appropriate oversight and care throughout the day. I personally handle morning and evening care, including feeding, exercise, kennel care, and ensuring each pet’s individual needs and routine are being met. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing pets with their own dedicated, quiet, and controlled space. The indoor kennel area is climate controlled and provides access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter, allowing dogs to safely spend time outside when appropriate. While I am at work, trusted family members are available to provide supervision, potty breaks, feeding, exercise, or other care according to each pet’s needs. I remain responsible for their overall care and delegate daytime responsibilities with clear instructions. I also maintain video surveillance of the kennel areas, allowing me to monitor pets throughout the day even while I am offsite. My professional experience handling detection canines has made safety, structure, and responsible handling especially important to me. My goal is to provide a secure environment with consistent care while minimizing unnecessary interactions between boarded pets, our household, and other animals. Safety is the foundation of how I care for animals. My professional experience handling detection canines has taught me the importance of understanding canine behavior, maintaining secure environments, following established routines, and never taking unnecessary risks with an animal in my care. Our boarding kennel is separate from our family home, providing a dedicated and controlled environment for our guests. Dogs stay in a clean, climate-controlled indoor kennel with access to a secure, fenced outdoor kennel area with shelter. This setup allows me to control interactions and provide each dog with appropriate space rather than requiring unfamiliar pets to immediately integrate into a household environment. The kennel areas are also under video surveillance, allowing me to monitor pets when I am not physically present. My family provides additional daytime oversight and supervision while I personally remain responsible for each pet’s overall care. I take owner instructions seriously and want to know about your pet’s temperament, routines, triggers, medical needs, and any behavioral concerns before their stay. Honest communication helps me keep your pet, my family, and other animals safe. We are an animal-loving family with our own very well-loved barn cats, so responsible animal care is already part of our everyday life. My goal is to provide owners with peace of mind knowing their pet is staying in a safe, secure, structured, and caring environment.

About: My love for animals started the day a stray Bassett hound wandered into my garage at the ripe age of 4. Ever since then I have taken in all animals under my care as my own! I love take care of all the furry friends! I have personally owned puppies, big dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs and gerbils - although not at the same time (could you imagine, yikes) and watched after the same! I have done any and all visits whether it is a quick play date or a longer visit due to vacation! I enjoy building a long term relationship to provide a dependable sitter throughout the year! I have a child in elementary school and work at a high school during the day. If and when an overnight sitter is needed, I assure you I make arrangements prior to accepting to give my 100% to your fur baby! I like to mimic the care the dog has at home to make sure they are most comfortable. In the beginning I expect normal hesitation, so I am patient and playful to earn trust until everyone is comfortable.

About: My name is Alexandra. I have 3 Chihuahuas. I also have a 17 year old dachshund. My pups are my world! My little fur babies as I like to call them. I absolutely love dogs. My whole life I have been an animal lover. I have 20 years plus years experience with dogs. I've never met a dog that didn't like me. My Schedule is very flexible. I am available is for walks and in home sitting/day visits. I can not do overnight visits. Please don't haste to contact me if you have any questions and concerns. Thank you for you time and I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little fur babies! Have a wonderful day! Alexandra My schedule is open. Depending on when care is needed depends on how often I will come and how long I can stay. 24 / 7 I provide a safe, loving environment for pets to enjoy and feel comfortable in. Lots of pets and companionship will be provided for your loved one.

“Was very appreciative that Donna took Kodi at the last minute when her usual border wasn't available. She seems so pleasant. Kodi was fine. I will definitely use her again if necessary. I gave her a cash tip which I always do so that they can get full benefit of it.”

“We are so thankful to have found Kimberly - she lovingly took care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. One of our pups is almost 16 years old with mobility issues and lots of oral medications, but Kimberly took excellent care of her and all her needs. She updated us with photos multiple times each day, which we greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Kimberly - we would give you 10 stars if we could!”

“Anna is fantastic! She offers free pick up and drop-off, but we only took advantage of the drop-off service. Anna has a small dog that kept George busy, while Bella explored the large yard. When Anna returned the dogs, they were calm and happy, it was almost as if they didn't want to come home. We will definitely be using Anna again! Thank you Anna, for taking such good care of the dogs! It's so nice to know they were well cared for!!”

Katie B.

“Georgia took excellent care of our dog Chito while we were traveling over Thanksgiving. She was incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and sent lots of photo updates to let us know Chito was enjoying his stay!”

Elizabeth W.

“Anna was fantastic with my old dog! This was our first time using Rover and Anna made our first experience very pleasant. From the moment of request she was quick to communicate and ask questions to make sure she was the right fit for my 13 year old Labrador. My wife and I had a late notice trip we needed to take with odd flight times and tight layovers, that being said Anna was able to be flexible if our flights got delayed and even made sure that if anything unexpected helped with out return flight, my dog was going to be taken care of. She also was thorough of letting me know what information she needed for caring for my dog and what items we needed to send with her to better settle my dog into a new environment. Anna checked in daily with a quick message and photo of my dog’s stay which really helped us put our minds at ease. Thank you, Anna! You’re a lifesaver and Olive came home in great spirits!”

About: I’ve had experience since I was born but I’ve been more attentive and actually working to take care of them since 13. I’m 18 now, I have watched scared dogs, big dogs, friendly dogs, jumping dogs, sleepy dogs, small dogs, and same goes for cats! I have 4 dogs currently, and I freed them and take them out all the time, so extra dogs wouldn’t make any difference I would just do the same with them as I do with my dogs! They would have all permissions as my dogs! I will take them out, check them for tics or anything hurting them if they show it. Feed them obviously! And give them treats on certain occasions, or whenever you say I can give them. I take my time with them and love them with my whole heart! Your dog will be treated exactly how I treat mine!
