Dog Sitters in Bradford, NH

My husband and I have been boarding our pups there since 2007. Also, they have attended doggy daycare and that has been a godsend! They both enjoy other dogs and play haerd, sleep good at night! Often, they come cleaner and better smelling than when I dropped them off!

I take my pup here weekdays while I’m at work and she loves it. She is an only pup and benefits from the time spent with playing and socializing with the other dogs. The staff is amazing and Jason, the owner, is always super nice. Fair pricing for the quality of care too. I would recommend Dog Star Canine to anyone who wants their fur babies in good hands.

Amazing place for your pup! Ours is sweet but can be anxious, and they’ve always been so great with her over the last 4 years. She loves Dog Star!!!

Dog Star is an amazing place to bring your pups, the owner jason truly has a passion for what he does and cares very much for each and every dog that enters the facility! I 10/10 recommend.

My girlfriend use to go here all time and I thought it was quite a lovely place at the time. I brought her dog in one day and there were two workers in specific I wasn’t too fond of. I introduced myself and I only caught one of there names, Brooke. The other was a thicker set female with glasses. I just felt like they were not acting professional. They were more interested in their phones and talking to one another. Not very attentive to the dogs. Very bossy towards the owner which I was astonished he allowed it. Anyways, we stopped going here shortly after this. We found a better place with better employees.

I had the pleasure of sending my dogs to dog star for about 2 years. Jason was excellent to work with and I always felt like he had the best interest of his client's pets in mind. Communication was great and the pricing was very fair. I would recommend Dog star to anyone and I look forward to using their services again if we are ever in Sunapee. Thank you, Jason and team!!

Our previous dog was very nervous and not good with other dogs so we never could do dog daycare. We just got a puppy and needed daycare. From our previous dog we were nervous about leaving the puppy somewhere but Dogstar has totally wiped away any of our fears. Our pup loves this place and will cry most of the ride home because he has so much fun. I highly recommend this place to any dog owner who needs a great doggy daycare

If anybody is looking for a good place to take their dogs to daycare, this place is the best! You can tell that the girls there love what they do and really care for the dogs. Everyone there is very professional and the dogs are always so happy. Highly recommend!

This is my second attempt to use Dog Star Canine for one of my dogs as I have lived in the area for a long time and this is convenient to me . The first lasted five minutes before he was kicked out. He was put into a large pen with at least 12 dogs and reacted negatively. I was told he would start with one or two dogs to get comfortable which did not happen. I was then told he wasn’t welcome back. Most recently, I called to inquire about bringing my small puppy for some socialization/daycare and was basically told there was no room and they had no program for dogs of his size. He did not sound interested in talking to me and could not hang the phone up fast enough; not sure how this place gets such a great reviews.

The staff is very active on Instagram for those who stress about leaving their fur babies with someone else for the day, nothing but photos of happy dogs. Our 8 month old lab LOVES it here, she practically rips my arm off once we get in the front door. I know she wouldn't be so eager to come back if the staff wasn't incredible. Our dog loves these guys and you will too!

Fur babies quickly become the center of your world, so when you want to go away, you undoubtedly want to take them with you. Unfortunately not everyone is as accepting of fur babies and you must leave them behind. Boarding is an option, but I would wonder if it stresses them out leaving them in an unfamiliar place and left wondering if Mommy and Daddy are coming back. With Jen, you get the best of both worlds. She comes and meets your babies prior to your time away, establishing a relationship with them to ensure it is a good fit for all of you. The minute you meet Jen you notice she is truly a pet whisperer. My Ben and Jerry just love her and the fact that they can stay and be in their own home is so reassuring. She will come to your home as agreed upon and always spends a good amount of time caring and playing with them. She will also make your home lived in by picking up mail, turning on lights, etc., an added benefit. And as an added bonus, she will send you updates daily to show they are happily being tended to while you are away! Please enjoy "Pictures by Pawtastic"!

It is so great to have a dog walker option in the Claremont area! Jenna is our primary, and she is very reliable and caring for my senior dog, Ellie. The owner, Jenn, is always on top of the communication very to easy to work with when it comes to schedule changes and “extras.” I use the PAW-tastic Nanny for regular mid-day visits and for evening/morning visits when I’m away. At almost 13 years old and with a heart condition and specific preferences when it comes to dog friends (!), it’s great to not have to worry about boarding my dog! I also appreciate the app, as it’s one I’ve used previously when I lived outside of Boston. Thanks, Jenna and Jenn!

PAW-tastic Nanny provides outstanding service. I used Jenn and Jenna for my dog walking needs when I had to be away longer than usual from my puppy. They arrived on time, took Tinker for a walk, gave him belly rubs and treats before leaving. I always got an update on their visits and that put my mind at ease. I always knew Tinker was in good hands! They were professional and so kind and caring.

I can’t recommend Jenn enough! I live alone with two Great Danes, plus infant puppies for a few months per year, & the occasional visit from one or more of my sisters’ dogs. I also work nights & weekends, which has made finding a reliable dog sitter incredibly difficult. Jenn & I connected at exactly the right time, & because we did I was able to return to work much more quickly (following my recent litter) than I had expected! She has a real gift with animals & immediately charmed my furry family, even my boy, Bo, who can be very selective about trusting strangers. Jenn is highly communicative, very respectful of my space, completely trustworthy with my animals, & an overall lovely person to interact with. I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a great local pet sitter!

I can’t say enough positive things about Jenn & Jenna. They were both professional, had excellent communication with updates following each visit that included photographs and a description of each pet. PAW-tactic Nanny uses an online platform that includes detailed questionnaires on each pet, gathering information related to behavioral habits, diet, etc. Most of all - they took wonderful care of our four Boston Terrier babies. Many thanks!

I am so grateful for Jenn’s help with my pups! First of all, they LOVE her and welcome her visits. She is kind, thoughtful and SO responsible and I'm always delighted to get text updates and (great) photos of my happy dogs when she has been there- which sets my mind at ease! I trust her completely and appreciate that she will go the extra mile!

We highly recommend the PAW-tastic Nanny!!! Jenn has helped us out and given us the ability to leave home without our pups. We have 2 Cane Corso’s and boarding is not an option for us. We needed someone we can trust to handle the extra special/demanding personalities of our Corso’s. Jenn started by helping us out with some mid day walks to get acquainted with our pups and give us confidence that all would be fine we then moved onto an overnight trip, the first time we had left together without the dogs in over 3 years. We have complete confidence in the PAW-tastic Nanny and we recently left the pups with Jenn while we took a 2 week road trip across the country. Jenn updated us regularly with pictures, videos and allowed us to not worry while we were away. Amazing service and communication=trust!!

Jenn did overnight visits and walks for us over a three day period so that we could attend our son’s wedding out of state. Our Stella is a senior dog who suffers from severe separation anxiety. The few times that we’ve had to leave her at a boarder in the past have always been heartbreaking for us. We know she’s miserable the whole time she’s there. Having Jenn come stay at our house so that Stella could stay home where she’s happy meant everything to us. We were able to fully enjoy our son’s wedding. We didn’t worry for a second that Stella was unhappy. Jenn sent us updates and photos throughout the visit. The attached photo shows Stella enjoying a bully stick while we were away. A seemingly innocent picture, but anyone who knows Stella knows that she wouldn’t touch a toy or treat if she was stressed or unhappy. Thank you, Jenn! What you provided for us was far more than pet sitting. It was the peace of mind to be able to enjoy our son’s wedding. That’s priceless.

Jen is wonderful! She is reliable and responsible. After meeting her I knew my dogs would be in good hands and that she would treat my dogs as if they were her own. I would recommend Jen to any dog owner. Jen is a sweetheart and absolutely loves her job. My girls get so excited when she comes to the house. I tell my girls in the mornings that Ms Jen will be coming, and their heads perk up. Haha

Jenn is professional and cordial. My pet was well cared for and I received regular updates and photos while away from home. Initial consultation fully covered locations of pet supplies and utilities, feeding and care schedules, and emergency scenarios.

Birch Hill Pet Resort truly goes above and beyond, not only offering fantastic daycare services but also providing exceptional boarding options. Whether for a day or an extended stay, their boarding facilities are second to none, offering a comfortable and secure environment for pets to relax and enjoy themselves. The staff continues to impress with their dedication to ensuring each pet's individual needs are met, providing personalized attention and care throughout their stay. With Birch Hill Pet Resort, I can confidently leave my dog knowing they are in the best hands possible. A five-star boarding experience all around!"

They take such good care of our boy Gus. He has been boarded there a few times and goes 2-3 times a week for daycare. The owners know the dogs and do a great job of keeping them active and monitoring them to be sure they are with the right play group.

They are amazing, my very high energy, very needy and particular rescue pup Harper has been going here since we got her 3 years ago, she looks forward to daycare and is treated like the princess she is at Birch Hill! She is typically people reactive and has done amazing here with the staff, they go above and beyond for her!

Birch Hill is awesome! I have 2 dobermans and have boarded them there multiple times and never have to worry! They are super accommodating and very reasonable with their pricing. My girls always come home happy and i’m always satisfied with their wonderful customer service. Thank you Birch Hill for being great!

Birch hill is great! I didn’t worry once about my boy knowing he was in the best hands. They went above and beyond to help him through his first time being away from us. Thanks for being a safe place to stay when our dogs can’t come with us!

Fist time we used this facility, I have know the owner for a few years so when my wife and I had the opportunity for a vacation we knew where we could trust to leave our Lab/Shep mix for a week. We let Mike know that Lacey had some dog anxiety and he gave me plenty of updates, especially satisfying was that our dog was able to make friends. She had a great time for 7 days, she was obviously tired of all her play time. Won't hesitate to use Birch Hill again!

It’s hard to drop off your old guy that’s never been to a overnight kennel stay in his entire 9 years!! Birch Hill Resort has exceeded our expectations and how happy my guy was and so energetic when I picked him up showed that they did such an amazing job caring for him! They’re reliable, professional and very caring.

Our German Shepherd puppy, Arya, has been going to Birch Hill Kennels for daycare for a little over a month. They take such good care of her. We were worried she’d not enjoy it since she loves to bark at other dogs and people, but we have noticed such an improvement with her. She is excited when we arrive to get out and see them and is always exhausted from the fun she has there when we pick her up. The owners are so nice and really do care about the dogs in their care. I would recommend them to anyone.

Wow! Just wow! We Have an 11 week puppy and had a date night planned for overnight. Birch hill took her (on barely any notice, when I was sure I’d have to cancel our hotel). The kennels were clean, the owners and staff We’re friendly and professional, and my pup loved it! She’s curled up on her doggie bed all tuckered out from her stay. Can’t wait til she’s old enough to get her shots so she’s able to do doggie day care!! Thank you Birch Hill!

1st time boarding my 1st puppy. Lots of nerves, he did fantastic though. Quick responses when checking in as well. Highly recommend!

We’re actually on our way to pick up Kitt and Grace, our two standard poodles, right now. We looked at five or six boarding places, and Mountain View is the only one where the dogs’ tails went up when we visited to check them out the first time. The place is fantastic, and we always feel good leaving Kitt and Grace there when we travel. When we pull into the driveway and they recognize where we are, they start “singing their song” because they’re excited and anxious to get inside. If I could leave six or more stars, I would.

We have an 11 year old disabled dog. She is still vibrant but needs a wheelchair for mobility and is incontinent😮. April and her staff give our dog FABULOUS care!! They go well beyond the usual kennel services. We truly believe they love our pugnacious, amusing, spinal injured dog! You can feel confident that your pet is having a great day and is in good hands.

Our dogs just had their 2nd stay here. They go in happy and come home without any depression. Everyone we have interacted with has been smiling and happy to help. Great experience for us and our well loved "dog kids".

We cannot say enough good things about the folks at Mountain View Pet Resort. We have a very anxious dog, Petiza, and initially boarded her for a short period. Since then, we have enrolled her in their doggie daycare. The experience of being with other dogs has enriched her life. Since she has started going to Mountain View her anxiety has improved immensely, she has been able to come out of her shell, play with toys, and eat bones (both of which she never used to do). Since she was so anxious to begin with, leaving her anywhere was extremely stressful. The experience of watching her shake in fear when we first dropped her off was heartbreaking. The staff at Mountain View genuinely care about her and understand dogs well. Now, we get to watch her excitedly tail wag as she says hi to the staff and runs back to see her friends. We were even able to adopt a brother for Petiza who also is now going to Mountain View. Beyond benefiting Petiza, we get to feel secure that our dogs are happy and loved even when we are not with them. I think for dog owners, especially if your dog is anxious, there is no higher praise than this.

Though Mountain View Pet Resort has a new owner, the quality of care remains at the same high standard. April and her staff make their charges’ safety, comfort and socialization a priority. Our dog Boo has learned good doggie social behavior during his visits. We highly recommend Mountain View.

This kennel is a gift to us. Our Emma considers it her second home. She goes twice a week for daycare and starts letting us know how happy she is about a mile from our house, and when you consider that we live 35 miles from Mountain View it’s quite noisy when we arrive! She bounds out of the car, happy to be in her second home. The staff is extraordinary. The pups are their family, and Mary the owner, is like family to us Good, good people!

Mountain View has really saved us. We have a reactive dog and he LOVES the huge yards and wonderful people there. We went on a tour about a year ago and did the trial run of a two hour "test stay" and he came back a very happy camper. Since then, Bodhi has stayed there for numerous trips or overnight visits & always comes back happy and exhausted from all the fun we know he's been having. It's clear April cares about each dogs personality - I love hearing her stories of what shenanigans our independent (some could say stubborn) Bodhi has done once we pick him up. Lastly, I can't say how much we appreciate all the hoops they must jump through to keep him separated from other dogs. Thank you to the whole team!

I highly recommend Mountain View Pet Resort. April and her staff are completely devoted to the well-being and care of the dogs in their charge and April is friendly and professional. I love the fact that the dogs spend a lot of time outside playing. Thanks for being there, David Parker & Midnight

I went there with my pup. The workers said there is a 1year / 2years waiting list but I could apply any way. I was so sad but so sad, specially because my pup seems to love the place and the workers. They all seem nice. So I'm giving 4 stars because of the way I was received, not because of the service. Still, I had all good vibes from them.

My husband and I are full time RVers with a 5 month old golden retriever. While staying at the KOA Rv park we drove our girl to Mary’s pet resort called Mountain View pet resort. They far exceeded our expectations! Very LOVING and Attentive. Our Gracie DEMANDS attention and they affectionately have it to her. Our experience was just the great for all of us. We were sad to leave. Oh and btw you should see the well designed pool they have. Our little pup had her first swim and thanks to Grace she had a fun experience. Now paddling. I don’t normally leave a long review but felt I needed to let other parents who of course are protective of their pups be assured safe and loving care is the gold standard here. Your pup will have the best time. Thank you Mary, Grace and the other team for taking such wonderful care of our Gracie. It allowed our pup to continue valuable socialization skills with the other very nice dogs who attended the day care also! Mark, Deborah & Gracie Frieze ❤️

Sandy and Tim saved us in a pinch! After our dog’s boarding plans fell through elsewhere, we reached out to try to get a last minute reservation for our big Newfoundland puppy. Not only were they incredibly easy to get in touch with, they went above and beyond to accommodate us (at their new overnight boarding location in Grantham). They also had a really easy to use app and they made our drop off and pickup a breeze! Thank you for everything!

We went to our first drop in Training with our boy Randy on Saturday and got so many training tips from Sandy and Tim! They gave us tools to work with him at home and we will definitely be going whenever we can! We also boarded our guy for the day/night on Sunday while we were going to be out of town. We got so many pictures of him playing with the other dogs and updates! It was our first time boarding him anywhere and we were so happy and felt at ease that he was in great hands! They helped work on some training with him and he came home exhausted from all the play! We are very happy with the care he got while in their hands and will definitely be going back! Thank you Sandy and Tim for taking such good care of our pup Randy!

I cannot say enough about this facility. My dog was a wreck prior to Sandy and Tim working with him. The facility is clean and set up for proper care of the pups. The owners are very flexible and understanding of schedule changes when something comes up. They are educated to care for high energetic pups and welcome all dogs. They are responsive and friendly. If you sent a message they will respond in a timely manner. They are not fake or phony, if my dog is being a pain they will tell me. Best facility I have ever sent my fur babies to.

Paws in Motion is fantastic! Sandy is amazing. We just started dropping our Griswold( ~2 year old Pyr/Maremma mix) off two weeks ago for two days a week for daycare. He comes home exhausted and happy! All the pics Sandy sends are of Gris smiling and playing with the other dogs. He very much looks forward to " going to school" and "seeing Miss Sandy". All we need to do in the morning to get him going is tell him he's "going to school" and he runs to the door and waits. Fantastic place, fantastic people. 100% recommended!

We love this place. Tim and Sandy do a wonderful job with our Pitt-bull. Highly recommended….

Great trainers!, if you are having issues with your pup I highly recommend giving them a call. They will work with you step by step and make sure you know exactly what to do when it comes to training your dog!

We took our two dogs to Paws In Motion for doggie day care for three days while we had a week-long vacation in Lake Sunapee. Tim and Sandy were wonderful with the dogs and sent us constant updates of pictures with how they adjusted to the new environment, and how they were behaving with the other dogs during the day. It gave us piece of mind while we were out exploring the White Mountains and other locations during those days. Every time the pups came home, they were thoroughly exhausted and slept well, which means that they were very much engaged in play throughout the day. On the second day we showed up to drop them off, both dogs were pulling on the leash to get into the day care. They had a great time, and Tim and Sandy were a pleasure to talk to.

Sandy is awesome. I reached out to her short notice, after hours and via text message and she was very responsive and accommodating. I couldn't have managed dog care my unschedule trip without her help!

Abuse and neglect dogs, my friends dog came back and lost 8 pounds and they did not mention any issues while he was there, completely horrible.

They lost a dog and the owners aggressively and publicly threaten legal action and swear at community members when they try to warn the public. Mistakes happen. Dogs slip collars. There is NO EXCUSE for the unprofessional behavior. They should be more concerned about protecting the safety of people's furry family members then "protecting" their business so aggressively. They lost a dog a couple months ago that was missing for over a week that the entire community helped search for. This is a fact. More recently a poor dog got hit in the vicinity of their business and someone said they hoped it wasn't an escaped dog NOT mentioning the business. One owner decided to swear at people and threaten to sue them. Multiple times. Later, and what should have happened first, the other co owner made a respectful post saying the hit dog had no relation to their business and expressed their sympathies. This is appropriate. Swearing and threatening legal action is not. My dog will never go there because 1. They lost a dog that couldn't be found for over a week and 2. At least one of the owners is incredibly unprofessional and more worried about their image than the safety of dogs.
