Dog Boarding in Essex Junction

“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

“Colleen was great! Very responsive, good-humored, and attentive to our slightly high-maintenance and quirky older dog. She even offered to do pick up and drop off when it worked out with her schedule. We will be back!”

“Mildred did an excellent job taking care of our little dog. She was great at communicating with us throughout his stay with her. Thank you!”

“This is the first time leaving George with Melanie. We spoke on the phone before I left him and I was pleased with the questions she asked to get to know my dog and how to best care for him. He was well cared for while I was away and I would not hesitate to have her care for George again.”

“Dawn took amazing care of Lola! She gave me updates with photos and I felt comfortable the entire time I was away. 100% would recommend and have Lola stay again!”

“Macy was fantastic. She was always instantly responsive, super comfortable and confident with our pup and her dog Dezi was a great playmate for Auggie. Her large fenced in yard was a perfect play area, large enough to get a lot of exercise running around. Thank you Macy!”

“Sabrina took good care of my Pomsky pup.”

“Nicole was an absolutely incredible sitter! Our boy Felix had a blast staying with her while we went skiing. She sent us frequent updates and was extremely communicative and accommodating and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Juliana is so sweet. I was so grateful she was able to adjust timings for pick up and drop off. And most importantly, Gal loves her.”

“Jessica is an awesome dog sitter. My dog Ollie has spent many stays with her. She's super attentive and nurturing. Ollie is always in good spirits when I pick him up. She is very reliable and accommodating.”

“Honestly we could not have asked for a better dog sitter experience. Meghan is a very caring and loving person and took care of our dog wonderfully. Loved all the walks and play time. She is communicative and sent updates throughout. We will definitely be booking her for our future dog sitting needs!”

“Liz was fabulous! Very attentive to our little Ruth and her needs. She kept us updated on how Ruth was doing while we were away through messages and photos.”

“Laura was beyond accommodating when I needed to book a last minute over-night for Chloe and she had a great time. Laura is so flexible and Chloe was all smiles when I picked her up! Highly recommend”

“Our second time using Jackie! They take great care of pansy and are very attentive to all of her specific needs. We felt totally comfortable with them and could enjoy our vacation while getting cute pictures and updates on her!”

“Christina was an excellent host to Curie, our 8yr old female Labradane ! She was very accommodating and communicated often on how our dog was doing. She spent quality time to get to know her better and make her feel at home. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a 'home away from home' for their four-legged family members!”

“Dina did a lovely job taking care of my kitten. She provided helpful updates and photos. He seemed happy and his usual self when he got home :)”

About: I love animals of all sorts! I've spent most of my life with dogs at home, and also have some experience with hedgehogs. I'm reliable, responsible, and punctual - whether you need help during the work-week with intermittent dog walking, or someone to look after your pet while you're away, I'll make sure s/he is getting the appropriate care. I also recognize that different animals have different needs, and want to work with you to make sure your pet gets the best possible care. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I'm available for boarding dogs on weekends and holidays, as well as smaller critters during the week. I can also walk your pup on weekday evenings. I do not currently have any dogs or cats, so your dog would have me to themselves! (I do have one hedgehog at home, but he is secure and separate from any other pets.)

“I cannot imagine a more trustworthy pet care-giver than Matt! I watched him care for his own pets and felt completely comfortable leaving mine under his care. Our dog, Gunner, was well loved. Matt quickly became his best buddy. Matt had great control and confidence, even with our large lab. It was very evident that he knew what he was doing, and went above and beyond in his care for our dog. He had no problem with leash walking, commands, and just playing and having fun. He had some great suggestions for some toys that Gunner would like. I think our dog likes Matt more than he likes us!”

“Kristina did an excellent job taking care of my sweet lab Tori. Lots of pictures were sent, adventures were had, and I could tell she had a lot of fun hanging with her while I was gone. Will definitely be coming back!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I love training them, and take great pride and raising them to be good citizens. I have experience in using my dog to help socialize other dogs, who have issues with fear and anxiety. Greatly. I have put a lot of effort into my dog being able to go in and of out of the house while I’m at work. My weekend plans often revolve around whether or not my dog can be involved. Pets in my home will be allowed and even encouraged to play with my dog at their own comfort. Separate space can be provided if needed. The backyard is fenced in and the dogs can play as they please.
