Dog Boarding in Vernon, VT

“Marissa and Devon are both wonderful people who treat any pet in their care like family. I am someone very particular and cautious when it comes to leaving my pup in the care of others, but I know that my dog will be given a safe, comfortable home and all the love they need while in the care of Marissa or Devon. They are both experienced pet owners that know how to care for animals responsibly and safely, and also know the importance of each animal getting the exercise, play time, cuddles, and attention/ affection they need so that they are as comfortable and happy as possible while away from their own home/ family. I highly recommend this wonderful team of two! 😊”

“I mean this in good way but I was almost disappointed when I showed up to pick up my dog. She seemed disappointed to be going home. I would highly recommend Heather.”

“Adaylia was awesome with Loki and very accommodating. I was almost 2 hours late picking up my pup due to an unexpectedly much bigger snow storm than what was predicted. She was so gracious and understanding. When I picked up Loki I could tell he was super happy and also nice and tired. I can tell he had a great time. I highly recommend Adaylia to anyone looking for a great dog sitter/boarding.”

“John provided Lilly with excellent care. Lilly had been traumatized by a two-day visit last year to a kennel last year. We vowed never to do that again. But her visit with John was just wonderful. Lilly will definitely be hanging out with John in the future!”

“Maryah was awesome. Even when our plans changed because of hurricane Lee she was accommodating. Great country location for the dogs. I would highly recommend her and have no reservations using her again in the future.”

About: I have gained a majority of my experience through owning family pets. Small and large breeds alike. Both cats and dogs (and a bunny at some point). I spent a few years as a dog groomer which allowed me additional experience learning behavioral cues and how to safely handle and interact with pets other than my own. I tend to rely on myself to train my dogs nowadays, but I am not certified in that regard. I simply have a nack for it. I have a husband at home, 12 year old daughter, and our furry friends; a golden retriever/chow mix and a little short haired kitty. Both are wonderful little things (aren't they all?) and will be eager to play with your furry loved ones. I work remotely Mondays and Tuesdays so I am open for full time care those days, as well as the weekends. I am home by early afternoon Wednesday through Friday. We have a semi fenced in yard, will be fully fenced by next year. We do have a large lead in the yard which allows for 50ft of free roaming any direction and plenty of room to run and play.

“Michelle cared for our two adult (11 hrs old) cats for 1full week in June. One kitty is pretty social and adaptable , while my second kitty is pretty big anxiety kitty. Well my high anxiety kitty hid and refused to eat for the week!! Michelle was very in tune and considerate of Simon’s needs and secured him space to eat and relax! Meanwhile she was also took care of my VERY Social and Affectionate kitty, Sadie! Sadie came home with a new confidence!! Michell was very flexible and took wonderful care of my two babies!! I would definitely recommend her!!”

“Jessica and Josie were wonderful with Miss Ruby. Even understanding her occasional accident in the house as coming from anxiety. Possibly due to construction noises which were expected to be gone before Miss Ruby’s visit. It changed my perspective from paying for Dogcare to paying to have Miss Ruby share her joy with Josie and Jessica and their family. ???”

About: I have several years of experience dog/pet sitting including overnight stays. I enjoy taking dogs on daily walks, and playing catch or tug of war to help them get in their daily exercise. Some dog breeds I have long-term care experience with (one-week to month-long pet sitting) include labs, golden retrievers, formosan mountain dogs, and bullmastiff. Although I love all the furry friends! I am also experienced in caring for multiple pets—the most being two dogs, two cats, and one stray, for two separate month-long sits. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time. I also have experience feeding dogs and cats oral medications. I am happy to do house calls for walks and feeding, as well as overnight stays. During overnight stays I make sure the house stays clean and tidy, and that the pets follow their house rules! My schedule is very flexible, and I have a lot of daytime availability for walks and potty breaks. I work as a server/bartender, so am generally scheduled weekend evenings. My shifts last about 6 hours, so for house sitting/overnights, 6-7 hours would be the maximum amount of time the pups would be on their own. If sitting is scheduled with enough advance I can also get this down to only 5-6 hours. I currently cannot offer pet service in my own house. In a client’s home I always make sure I understand what the house rules are for the pets, as well as for guests! I am happy to meet clients in a public setting first if they feel more comfortable with that before inviting me to their home. I understand how important people’s homes and pets are to them, and do everything I can to communicate with reliability and respect. I love taking care of animals, and want both you and your pets to have a great experience with me.

“Leticia is not only a stellar human being with a kind and patient soul, but she LOVES dogs. She never hesitates to care for my little dog—who is not the easiest pup to care for! She gives her a loving environment, exercise, play time, and even got her to try some new adventures like swimming. Do not hesitate to trust Leticia with your pet. I promise you will be worry free for your time away from your pup, who will feel right at home, happy, and loved!”

“Laura was great, she took my pup on long walks every day and sent photos and check in points. Exactly what I would hope for when leaving my furbaby. I was very nervous leaving him but she helped ease that and truly showed care and love for him. Thank you!”

“Needed last minute dogsitting for a work trip she was very accommodating and updated me with pictures of my baby!”

“Amanda did such an amazing job! She took great care of my dog and sent me pictures where I could see he was having a blast! I’m sure my dog loved staying at her house and playing with her dogs and kids, he loves the attention and I know Amanda have him plenty! Thank you Amanda!”

“Gabrielle was super from our 1st meet and great and Max's stay with her. She sent daily updates and photos on how things were going. Made me feel very comfortable and at ease while Max was there. Would definitely use again.”

“It is my pleasure to let you know about Margaret's love for animals. She has cared for and nutured my pets over the years. Minnie , my current dog is sweet and also very active. It is assuring to know that my pet caregiver has the energy to keep up with her. Margaret is also very intuitive. My pup is not very verbal when it comes to her needs. Minnie speaks with her eyes. Margaret has learned what each expression means. I have watched her with her pets and other along the way. I can say she is a kindred spirit.”

“Christian is very thoughtful and kind with animals and people. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Aliana was an amazing caretaker. She took aura and treated her as her. She gave me daily post and updates of activities. I fully recommend her! You will not be disappointed!”

“Mike and Laura were the absolute perfect fit for our little rescue chihuahua, Topo, who needs some specific care and management. We felt extremely comfortable and confident leaving him with them while we were on holiday and our dog came back even more relaxed and happy then when we dropped him off. Very communicative and they clearly showed our dog all the love and care and walks we could have asked for. Thank you! Topo is looking forward to coming back.”

“Giannina has watched our 6-year-old schnauzer, Miles, twice and he loved every minute! She gave Miles such love and attention the entire time and he came back home after our long trips a very happy and healthy dog. She kept me in the loop with pictures and updates of what he was doing with her family and it gave me peace of mind knowing that our little baby was being taken care of. Giannina was also super accommodating when our flight was delayed and again this alleviated all our stress from traveling away from our little pup. Giannina is a loving, kind, and excellent with all pups! Highly recommend her!”

“Our pup had an amazing stay with Ana! We received regular updates with pictures which are always appreciated. Ana provided excellent care and made us feel at peace while away. We’re thrilled to have found such a caring sitter and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
