Dog Sitters in Barre, VT

Our dog goes once a week and always comes home happy and tired. He can tell when we’re getting close and always gets excited when we’re heading in to drop him off. Jeff has been great to work with, and always works to try and accommodate any scheduling hiccups we may have. I’d highly recommend this doggy daycare!

Our dogs loved it! They've only gone once, but were happy and tired when we picked them up. We were very impressed with the meet and greet, and with application process. It's nice to know all the dogs there have up to date vaccinations. Really glad they opened Saturdays!

My puppy is always tuckered out after a fun day playing at Holli-Day care! Jeff and his staff are wonderful!

Jeff is amazing, my dog is happy and looks forward to going there. I totally recommend your dog to Holli-daycare

Great doggy day care. My pup loves it and it's a great price

I strongly recommend Sarah as she is friendly and attentive to our dog, Remy. He has been learning to stop jumping, pulling on leash, and his recall. We have seen such improvements in his behavior since starting to work with Sarah. She also sends updates of pictures and videos throughout the day. She really allowed my fiancé and I to work in peace while knowing our dog is well taken care of. Thank you!

Sarah went over a above the call of duty to make my older, anxiety ridden, dog comfortable. My dog has separation Anxiety so being alone for her is very stressful, not only for Lucy, but also for me. Sarah kept Lucy in her bedroom at bedtime, and even took her to an outdoor event so she would not be alone. I have picture of Lucy on a picnic blanket looking very happy. I new every minute I was away that my dog was being cared for as if I were doing the caring. Now really, who could ever ask for more than that? I will not hesitate to bring Lucy to Sarah's pet care again. Piece of mind is worth so much more than the money I paid Sarah to care for my beloved pet.

Sarah was awesome with our boys! They really seemed to like her & were tired when we picked them up (we were gone for 3 days). Will definitely board the dogs there again.

I brought my dog to Sarah this week when I was traveling in the area and needed to go to a place that didn't allow dogs -- I don't know anyone who works with her, I just trusted my gut and her credentials and reviews. I feel so lucky -- Sarah was fantastic in every way -- communicative and caring and flexible so smart with my dog. They went hiking and swimming and she even practiced his training while he was there. I would send my dog to Sarah every day if I lived nearby, and will actually make special trips in the future so he can be join her daycare program and board overnight. I cant wait to bring him back - and he clearly loved being with her. Such a rare find - send your dog to Sarah if you can!

Sarah is so good with the dogs! My dog was so anxious and even the vet was having a hard time. We went to a few other trainers but Sarah has really been able to get through to him and his anxiety is 100x better! great person, great dog sitter. Highly recommended

Sarah is an amazing young women. She is extremely good at what she does. Accommodating, understanding, loving, and a professional. Knowledgable about dogs in every aspect. I know when I take my dogs to her, they are well cared for, they have fun, they are getting everything and more from Sarah. She is worth the investment. Highly recommend!!

Highly recommend boarding with Sarah! Our dog came home happy, tired, and well cared for. Sarah sent videos and photos throughout the day of our dog hiking, swimming, and living his best life. We are thrilled to have found Sarah!

Our dog loves Sarah and has been with her since she was a puppy. Sarah has helped with her training and is always available to help problem-solve. Our dog is never happier than when she goes to Sarah's.

We looked for the right boarding situation for our dogs for years, and we're very lucky we found Sarah's service. The dogs get treated like family–no cages or kennels. Our dogs were so comfortable with her, that they are now going there for daycare as well. Instead of sitting around the house, they get to go hiking and swimming everyday they're with her. We couldn't be happier with this service. Highly recommend!

Sarah does an excellent job with Blake’s and Sylvia. I love when she takes videos of the dogs playing in daycare. Sarah is a wonderful person and I see that she loves the dogs and cares for them as if they’re her own.

Our pup Penny loves going to Andrea’s for playgroups and boarding. The smaller pack size is great for our rambunctious boxer and she’s so happy and tired when she gets home. The pickups and dropoffs are super convenient for our busy schedule and Penny cries for joy when she realizes Andrea is there to get her! Highly recommended Andrea’s animal care!

Our dog, Gobbles, participates in 2 of Andrea’s play groups every week and she loves it. We also love the pick up/drop-off addition to the play group!. We’ve seen tremendous improvement in the way she plays and interacts with other dogs. We highly recommend Andrea’s Animal Care!

Andrea's playgroups have been such a great experience for our spirited female Labrador. Andrea carefully screens dogs before integrating them into her services. In fact, we worked hard training and improving her boundary, listening and social skills before she was ready to go to Andrea's. It was worth the effort - now she is a playgroup regular and has done overnight stays as well. Our pup has really learned from Andrea's manager dogs and the other well balanced dogs in the group. We are so thankful to Andrea for her patience, clear direction and care with Wilma.

I feel so grateful to have found Andrea’s Animal Service. From the start, Andrea was approachable, kind, and responsive, and flexible with my schedule. Andrea never misses a beat—when making plans about my dog, I always receive a reminder message a few days before to confirm, and she follows all the directions for my dog’s pickup. Speaking of, the fact that Andrea comes and picks up my pup from my house and drops her off is a luxury, and I feel like my dog is well cared for and loved by her. My dog always runs up to Andrea wagging her tail, so happy to see her every time. Andrea is a clear and open communicator and has a wonderful space at her house, indoor and out, for the dogs to romp around and play together, or to sit quietly and rest if that’s what the dogs need. Andrea is perceptive to all of her animals, carefully observant and senses her dogs well. I have nothing but good things to say about Andrea, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone who is looking for daytime or overnight care for their animals.

We have been sending our dog to Andrea's Animal Care for both daytime care as well as longer overnight stays when we are traveling and the experience has been amazing. Our dog is a rescue that was quite nervous when we adopted him and his time at Andrea's has helped immensely with socialization. He is undoubtedly a happier, more confident dog since his time with Andrea's crew! We trust Andrea 100% and would highly recommend her services.

Our pup Toby LOVES going to Andrea's house! He attends playgroup once a week where he has improved his socialization skills. He also enjoys extended stays with Andrea when we go away. We travel with ease knowing that he is in the comfort of a caring home. Her transport service makes life so easy. We are grateful for Andrea's services!

Our golden doodle, Gracie, has been going to Andrea’s for the past year. She started at 5 months old, so she considers Andrea’s home her second home. She loves going for daycare each week, and gets so excited when Andrea comes to pick her up! The first time Gracie boarded, we were missing her, and Andrea sent us pictures every day! We really appreciate that Andrea follows through on training that we have worked on at home! We’re so thankful for Andrea, and her boys, for providing a wonderful home environment for our pup, and taking such good care of Gracie! We highly recommend Andrea’s Animal Care business!

We have known Andrea since she first started her business. Winston was one of her first dogs to become a part of her family and business. Since then we have had 2 more dogs be a part of her services through the years. She has seen them from puppyhood to their last years and no matter what stage they were in life, I knew that they were well cared for and loved when I couldn’t be with them. Andrea is thoughtful in her approach to making sure our dogs are comfortable. Not only is she great with our dogs but she’s a wonderful person too. We treat our dogs like they are part of our family and Andrea does too. I highly recommend Andreas Animal Care.

Andrea has been caring for our Golden Retriever in weekly playgroups and when we need to board our dog. Andrea is incredibly reliable and great with our dog. He loves riding in the car with Andrea and it’s been a fantastic experience watching our dog learn to positively interact with other dogs and help them integrate into play groups. We highly recommend Andrea’s Animal Care!

WE LOVE ANDREA'S ANIMAL CARE!! We have employed Andrea on several occasions, often for as long as a week, when we have been away on vacation or for other reasons. Andrea is always immediately responsive to our requests and, more importantly, our beloved dog always seems thrilled to see her and then so content after some time at her place. I don't know if he's exactly sad to come home, but it's obvious he has been loved and well cared-for when he's been with Andrea, and that is a great comfort. She clearly loves animals and is always delighted to see our sometimes rambunctious dog. A bonus is that she sends occasional texts and photos while we're gone, telling us about his happy adventures. Not too much, just enough to reassure us. And communications about the pickup and drop off times are always very clear. I can't praise this business enough!

Leah is fantastic! Long story, but I was fostering two puppies, had two dogs of my own, and suddenly had to relocate for work. Leah came over to meet the gang and literally started the next day, thank god! Not only is she very reliable and a great communicator, but one of the puppies was very scarred from her 4 months of life spent on the streets of St. Lucia. When I rescued these babies they were starving to death and could barely stand. It was very moving seeing Luna slowly build trust with Leah over the first couple weeks when I was the only human she would go near. They are now thriving and the best of pals! Her little sister was adopted, but Leah continues to walk my pack daily, and even sometimes takes the puppy out separate from my adult teacup chihuahuas so they don't have to deal with the puppy energy! She sends me pics daily, which I will include below. These little pups mean the world to me, and I can honestly say I trust Leah fully with my three musketeers and my home. :)

Perfect dog sitting experiences from start to finish. Leah is a caring and professional lover of animals, and our dogs instantly fell for her attentive kindness. Also, she's fantastic at taking dog photos!

All the stars, Leah is incredible! As someone who is always anxious to leave behind my cats, I can’t tell you how much relief I felt knowing with absolutely 100% certainty that both my girls would be safe and happy in Leah’s care even if the worse should happen. I love my trip, but the highlight of each day away was the adorable pictures she would send me of my babies! Looking for the highest quality of care for your pets? Look no further! Leah goes above and beyond, even making extra drop ins for extreme weather!

We happened upon Leah’s Pet Sitting when we were going away for a few days. First impression was Leah’s professionalism in knowing exactly what was needed to make this a successful experience, such as an initial visit, leaving contact and vet info, and a cat carrier. One day she caught a glitch in our well thought out plan and with a text, we resolved the issue. We very much appreciated Leah’s daily photo reports. Highly recommend!

Leah has been a wonderful sitter for our two cats, Athena and Kai, while we are away on trips. Leaving them home is never easy, but Leah’s detailed update texts and photos really put us at ease and make us smile. It’s clear they are well taken care of. Leah truly cares about their wellbeing and enjoys their company as much as we do.

Leah took great care of our house and our reactive, special dog. She sent lots of updates and so many amazing pictures of him while we were gone and it felt great to know he was so well cared for. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, especially for a pet with any special needs - she’s super knowledgable, experienced, and accommodating.

Leah takes such good care of our energetic, exuberant young dog. We get multiple updates and photos each day we’re gone, and it’s obvious that both Leah and our pup are having a blast. The dog comes home tired and happy, just like we do with when we’ve been away…it’s like she’s had her own vacation. She doesn’t even come home with bad habits - Leah clearly understands dogs and stays on top of good training habits. We highly recommend Leah’s services!

I wouldn't trust anyone as much as I trust Leah to care for my dogs, Rupert and Ozzie! Leah gave them so much love, exercise, and attention when she came by for a daytime walk. When Ozzie stayed with her overnight, he was so well cared for! Leah made sure to keep me updated with plenty of photos showing how happy he was while I was away. My dogs get SO excited to see Leah when she comes over, so I have no doubt they enjoy her company. Leah is incredibly professional and I fully trust her in my home and with my fur-babies while I am away. I highly recommend her to anyone with pet care needs!

Leah is fantastic! She is reliable, attentive, and provides quick communication. My American Bulldog LOVES seeing her, and he’s always happily-exhausted after their regular walks. We’ve used her for boarding too, and she sends photos and updates, which is great. Highly recommend!!

Leah is incredible and I highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs. Leah has provided loving care for our dog during several week long trips away. Sisa (our rescue pup) loves her time with Leah and is always excited to see Leah. Leah is attentive to our dog's needs, communicates well with us while we are traveling (including sharing photos), reliable and respectful, provides great care for our pup, and we feel fortunate to have Leah look after Sisa during our travels. Leah is fantastic and is great with dogs! I can't recommend enough!

Great place. Needed to board my senior dog for 5 days to attend family wedding in Virginia. Took her to Doggie day care on Thursdays twice before leaving her for five days. She was fine & I had a good visit with family.

When our plans suddenly changed while traveling in VT, the gracious owners of Four Paws accepted our Lab quickly and easily. Our dog enjoyed a great romp with the others, the location was superb for us as we traveled about, and the owners could not have been nicer on drop off or retrieval - despite our needing to contact our vet to pass our pup's information - due to my leaving the info on my table in VA. You will NOT find a more welcoming kennel for dog or owner. Five stars plus!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!! Our 2 year old dog LOVES it, does her playdate happy dance when we get near. Multiple outdoor areas for different doggie play levels and personalities. Lots of outdoor time and fun for them, and lots of free access between in and out. I recommend them SO highly!!!!! Please note that the one bad review regards the PRIOR OWNER not the current one!!!!!

They take awesome care of the dogs. They even have a schedule set for them so the dogs can adjust to daycare easier. They also do dog boarding and the care they give the dogs is exceptional. A lot of work is put into providing the best care for the dogs possible. I would recommend Four Paws Inn to every single person I know.

A wonderful setup! Lots.of room to roam and run. Very secure yards for your dogs safety! The staff is fantastic, loving and very caring group. They are 100% focused on your pet/s.

Our dog enjoyed her time there so much that she didn't want to come home with us when we returned from vacation. They take great care of the dogs & we will be using them again in the future

Extremely rude and misleading! The initial pre-visit was a bit off-putting because the owner spent a lot of the time talking about how they're trying to sell the business. We booked Saturday 6/27 to Sunday 7/5 initially, but got verbal confirmation from the male owner during drop off that if we came home early we could pick up on 7/4. They later claimed only during pickup that they were closed on Saturday because it was July 4th. No where in their confirmation email did it say they were closed and they never mentioned it!! The male owner gave us a verbal confirmation when we dropped off that we could pick up Saturday which he later vehemently denied! I called Saturday morning as a courtesy that we were coming to pick up our dog and the female owner was incredibly rude to me over the phone! She rudely told me they were closed and to read my email (again nothing in email saying they were closed!) Then she has the nerve to say "why are you calling anyways?" How rude when we were trying to give a courtesy call in advance of pickup! Makes you wonder what are they hiding that pick up must be so strictly according to their schedule! Makes you wonder if pickup times are the only time the dogs are actually getting let out?? I don't understand how a kennel can be "closed" anyways. Were they planning to lock the dogs up all day? Also note their website is very misleading. There is no daycare service.

Four Paws looks after my nervous pup twice a week. The staff love him, and he's thriving in the calm dog group.

Great staff and they post pics of dogs playing every day.

Great local owners. They will treat your pet like it was family

Thank you, Ellie May's! We are truly grateful for you. When Lucky is at daycare, we know he is loved and taken care of, which brings immense relief and peace of mind. We would not be where we are today without you. You were our first daycare as pup parents, and we are so happy to have found you.

Jameson had his first day at Ellie May's today and I could not be happier. He came home tired and content - something that rarely happens with him being an Aussie. Lauren and the staff were very nice and it's noticeable that they care for the dogs. Can't wait til his next daycare day!

I was in Vermont on a travel nurse assignment. I traveled with my toy poodle Ryder and needed to find doggy daycare for him. I was able to take him to Ellie May’s Doggie Daycare and this has to be one of the best doggy daycare’s in the state of Vermont. The setup reminds me of a daycare for children. And the owner Patti is such a caring and loving person with a beautiful spirit. I had no doubt when I met her that my Ryder was in good hands. Thank you Patti for caring for our fur babies!!!

Absolutely the best place for our doggie! Now we may be partial because we also have a Berner but Patty and Lauren as so kind, accommodating and truly love and care for the dogs and what they do. Great play space inside and out and dogs have so much freedom to play and enjoy being with other doggies. We could not recommend this place enough to our family and friends! Thank you Patty for all you do!

This travel nurse was highly impressed with this place. I needed a place for my sweet Leo to go for my first day of work. They fit him right in and he had a ball. The staff was BEYOND AMAZING! 10/10

Lauren and Patty are so welcoming and caring. They truly care about our furry best friends.

Ellie May's provides a wonderful place for dogs and peace of mind for their owners.

Our 3 yr old Chocolate Lab, Brody, loves going to see Brenda at Pot o Gold! We trust her with his care for times when we need to kennel Brody for a few days or a week at a time. He loves playing with the other dogs, and Brenda has a great schedule of rest and outdoor play. She's the best around!

We go to Pot-o-Gold for short-term and extended boarding and they are top-rate. Wonderful to the dogs, attentive to their needs. Extremely conscientious to ensure that all dogs who stay there are up on their shots and get along well with other canines. And, they have a great security/surveillance system. Though most important, Brenda and Eva are dog lovers through and through!

Wonderful experience. My children and I were looking for a dog with excellent temperament and we found her at pot o gold. She is such a love and a very good girl. She is our therapy dog. She loves uncondionally. My children needed her emotionally in their lives and it's as if she knows her role. Thank you Brenda for trusting up to adopt one of your puppies. Zuri is 2 now and we just are soooo blessed. Brenda is an exceptional and responsible breeder and kennel

Pot O Gold is definitely the place to send your fur baby if you want it well taken care of. Truly passionate about what they do. Your pup could not be in better hands.

Great doggy daycare and top notch breeder! Obediance training as well!

My dog had a great time.

Brenda is the BEST!

Only at the end of the Rainbow

Bess does an awesome job taking care of our yellow lab, Sam, when we are away. Her boys assist her in some of the duties and it is a family business full of family love for the four-legged creatures. If you are considering using her services stop thinking and just call her.

BEST BEST BEST Doggie daycare EVER! My dog is treated like family!

Bess was amazing! This was definitely the right place to leave our little 12 year old yorkshire terrier for a week. Bess treated rosie like she was part of her family. She also sent us pictures every day too, which we loved! Both me and my wife highly recommended using Riverbend Dog Daycare!

Bess is an amazing dogsitter! Our dog loves going to her house! She gets excited when we pull in the drive, a far cry from her previous wimpering because she knew she would be "left behind." A beautiful setting, with a large safely-fenced backyard, the dogs are incorporated into the family home and Bess sends pictures and videos to ease my doggie-mom heart while I am gone. I love the homespun feel of this place. There are no cages, no add ons for extras and plenty of creature comforts for your beloved pup!

Loves my dog, very easy to work with, great communication. Thank heavens I found this dog daycare.

Great place! My dog LOVES it here! She is worn out when we pick her up

Cute dog lady.

Bess is the best!
