About: !! PLEASE READ ALL OF THE BELOW BEFORE BOOKING !! 🐶 Mutt Season Dog Retreat is located in East Calais, VT DAYCARE & BOARDING HOURS 🕗 Daycare: 8 AM–6 PM (10 hrs included) ⏰ Early or late? +$25 by request ⛺ Over 10 hrs = boarding rate 🛏 Boarding: 24 hrs from drop-off 🕒 2–8 hrs late = +50% nightly 🌙 8+ hrs late = +100% (extra night) Please confirm drop-off/pickup times when booking. Unplanned overages may be charged. MUST LOVE DOGS & CATS Boarding + Daycare in our home I live with four other people: one human (my partner Jason), one canine (a 2-year-old Border Collie Poodle girl), and two felines (a 1-year-old girl and a 13-year-old queen). All of them are very friendly and well socialized. However, this means that if I board your dog, or take them in for daycare, they have to be familiar and respectful with cats, and well-socialized with dogs. Ideally they love playing and chasing (but not the cats). I work from home on my budding dog business, and I am enrolled in two different prestigious academies, studying canine behavior and training. It is easy for me to have another dog around, but I will require a visit to my house first to ensure the dogs get along, and your dog won't chase my cats. Ideally, we go for a walk together first, to give the dogs the opportunity to meet on neutral turf. I will only take one guest dog at a time. They'll get to play to their heart's content with my dog in a fully fenced large yard. My partner Jason and I just love all animals. I will be your sitter / primary caretaker, but in our home, Jason will give a lot of additional affection and attention, when he's around. I’ve been a dog parent for over 20 years, and have lots of experience with all ages and special needs. I am very diligent about catering to your dog’s specific needs and keeping you updated as frequently as you like, including lots of pictures. FORCE-FREE POLICY I will never use choke, prong, slip, or e-collars of any kind. If you want me to take your dog on walks, please bring a harness for safety. I usually drive my own dog to various trails in the area every morning and we go 3+ miles, I'd be happy to take yours on hikes, too, if they like car rides and can handle the exercise. Your dog will be with me and my dog all day long. Throughout the day, I take frequent breaks and let them out, be it for more walks, or a game of fetch or chase in our large yard. As soon as I'm certified as a dog trainer, I'll be happy to take on training as well. I will watch your dog in my home. I’ll adhere to their normal schedule and needs. They'll have a friendly play buddy in my own dog.
“Gwynn was great with our dog, Friday! She successfully administered her medication as needed and sent us plenty of pictures and videos during her stay. It was clear at the end of her stay that Friday was well cared for and very comfortable with Gwynn. We will absolutely be bringing her back as needed in the future!”
About: I have had pet dogs all of my adult life. They are not just pets - they’re family. I live on a quiet cul de sac with my two-year-old golden retriever Maple. She would love another pal to play with! We take daily walks or hikes near our home and visit the dog park a few times a week. We also spend lots of time snuggling on the couch. I have experience with puppies and seniors alike, and can administer medication where necessary. Please reach out with any questions or to chat. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I have a very flexible work schedule and work from home most days. Being a mom, I’m around most nights. I am also available most weekends. I have fenced in yard where your furry friend can play with my dog. We’re on a quiet street where we take lots of walks. I can also crate when preferred.
“Kevin (and his sweet greyhound) took great care of my dog for the day! He was very flexible when our schedule changed by about 90 min and we picked her up later than planned. So grateful!”
“Kasey was so attentive to the needs of our pup! She was great with communication, on time, and Dunkie didn’t even want to leave her side when it was time to go! Highly recommend. We’ll be using her services again in the future!”
About: I work remotely for an international development organization based in DC. My schedule is flexible, leaving me plenty of time to spend outdoors with some new furry friends! I have always loved taking care of dogs and come from a large, dog-owning family. I have extensive experience dog walking and sitting both small and large breeds, from Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to Labs to Bernese Mountain Dogs! I currently own a 4 year old white shepherd named Storm who loves to walk and play with other dogs. I am open to taking our pups on walks together, on trail hikes, or to the dog park. Available for daily walks, drop in visits, and dog sitting. I look forward to meeting you! Also open to discussing boarding in our home, pending meet and greet with my dog Storm. I work remotely from home, so I am flexible when taking care of dogs. Happy to work with you on a recurring schedule, or for one-time walks/visits! I work remotely full-time from home and my schedule is flexible. I take my dog, Storm, out for short (less than 30 min) and longer walks (over 1 hour) 2-3 times a day. We also enjoy using nearby trails, as well as the trails on our property. I currently live in a farmhouse in Royalton. There is no fenced in area, but we have trails on our property for dogs to walk (on leash) or run (depending on your comfort and their recall).
About: i recently moved to the area from new york and i’m looking for something fun to do for work. i absolutely love animals. they’re so intelligent and fun and loving. i would love to take care of animals on a daily basis. i am a caring and loving person and have always had quite the love for animals. i have always had dogs and cats in my home growing up. with that being said, i wouldn’t mind walking dogs, stopping by to play or feed animals, staying for hours with them, or just frequently seeing them. i have been trying to find jobs around the area and nothing has really spoken to me. i found that people need dog sitters and i thought it would be a good idea to try and get out there and meet people and have fun with animals all day
About: Growing up, I have never been without a pet to come home to. I truly believe dogs have the ability to alter someone’s life, and thus deserve the best care! I can assure you I will treat your pets with utmost care and love. I ran my own pet sitting business in high school, and am very comfortable with new dogs (and cats)! I am currently an M1 at Dartmouth med school. My schedule is quite flexible, just reach out for specific quests about your pet sitting needs. I live in a house with 5 other medical students. However, I am only willing to care for smaller dogs in my home. I am happy to stay with your dog for multiple hours in the day in your home!

Julia T.
“Animal lovers at heart, Julia and Jason care for dogs as if they’re her own. They're knowledgeable, responsible, trustworthy and reliable. Their care is personalized to each pet’s needs. The kindness they've shown my dog Murphy over the years is invaluable to me. He suffers from anxiety. Julia and Jason are attentive to his needs and routine, putting us both at ease. Whether a daily walk or extended stays, when I’m traveling, I receive pictures and updates regularly. Knowing Murphy’s in the best of hands when I’m away is comforting. Sometimes he doesn’t want to leave their company! I highly recommend Julia and Jason to anyone looking for pet care, sitting and/or walking.”
