Dog Boarding in Brattleboro

“My husband and I call Marissa the “dog whisperer”. She is incredibly fun, attentive and loving towards all animals. She has cared for our little Ozzy (a mini golden doodle) on several occasions and he absolutely adores her. Her photo and video updates are so thoughtful and fun and she is just so easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone who needs care for their special animal🐶”

“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.”

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.

“The experience with Heather and Zia blended really well. 1st time leaving Zia with someone I didn't know went very well. Zia will be returning for more future visits without a doubt.”

“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!”

“It would be hard to imagine someone who you could trust more with your pet. Ana is smart, caring, conscientious, and a wonderful communicator. What a pleasure it is to have someone like this available.”

“Mike and Laura took exceptional care of our 17-year old Jack Russell. Mike was extremely communicative during the entire process and helped make our trip to Ludlow happen!”

“Laura was fantastic- she is every dog owner's dream for who you want caring for your pup when you are away. She was super communicative, shared pictures throughout our pup's stay and provided a safe and loving environment, allowing us to enjoy our holiday break. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Laura and hope she can host our dog in the years to come. Cannot recommend more highly!”

“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!”

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.

“Maryah was great with my girls! They had a great time and got plenty of exercise. They were well cared for and I was kept informed of all of their activities. Would highly recommend.”

“I highly recommend Ms.Ambria. The happiness kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for all animals she encounters SHINES BRIGHT!😁This is who you want hanging with you’re furry friends.”

“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. ???”

“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.”

“Lila is a very engaged, supportive and kind person, and pet owner. She routinely takes the initiative to get our dogs together for pup play dates. My dog had a 3 night stay at Lila's house and I felt very comfortable that she would be taken care of exceptionally. I wholeheartedly endorse Lila for dog sitting and pet care.”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“Bear seems like he had such a great time with Christine and Lily!! We got lots of pictures and updates which put us at ease that he was having tons of fun! He will be going back very soon! Christine is so responsive and easy to talk to - we are so glad we connected with her!”
