Barb accommodated this no problem. Once I booked, she knew who I was when I walked in and she seemed really happy to meet my dog. When we picked him up, she told me all about how he did, so it was clear she paid individual attention to all her dogs. She was also flexible with drop off times for me at no additional charge. (Speaking of charges, $14/day is an absolute STEAL to me, coming from Boston). I'm very glad to know this kennel exists, as its nearby lots of spots I commonly visit in the summer. Will definitely use again.

My pets love Barbara and she always takes good care of them. I never worry when they are here.read more

Sunday River Goers Take Note!…read more As new dog dads... what can I say? From my initial phone call to Cathy & staff regarding daycare for our 4mo old golden retriever to our sort of last minute decision to board him for a night, EVERYTHING about BBK was smooth, easy and comfortable! Not to mention our little guy Griffin was absolutely loving life. They clearly are playing and having a blast as his GPS collar was showing lots of activity throughout his stay! We dropped off (early as well) and regardless of my apprehension they were friendly at 755am, greeted Griff and led him immediately out to play! Without shame, he had a bag packed with toys, towels, food, bowls, treats etc and upon pickup everything was there and in great shape! I think the quote was "hes got luggage" :) Leaving after the first 48 hours, Griff whimpered as he didnt want to leave- not knowing he was headed back the next day. The staff was friendly, knew him by the end and made us feel completely comfortable to enjoy our ski trip. WITHOUT hesitation we would recommend Cathy & Staff at Barker Brook and hope we can see them on our next trip to Sunday River!

Recently, I had a really great experience with Barker Brook Kennel. Right along the strip going…read moreinto Sunday River, Barker Brook is located conveniently for skiers and snowboarders, who are also pet owners, to drop off their furry companion for a day of daycare or overnight boarding. I planned on staying at Sunday River for 2 nights, so Barker Brook was perfect for my golden retriever puppy to stay for a night and have daycare the other days. Daycare is only $20 a day and overnight is $60, which I considered to be pretty reasonable given the location of the kennel. Each day, my dog was tired out and did not want to leave! He absolutely loved spending his time at Barker Brook, and the staff were also incredibly friendly. Drop off and pick up were incredibly easy and seamless. My only one critique is that they only start taking pets at 8am in the morning for drop off. 8am is also the time that chair lifts start at Sunday River, so selfishly, I would love if Barker Brook could open at 7/7:30 to make it for the start of chair lifts. Minor critique, but the friendliness of the staff and the physical activity that was provided for my dog are enough to push my rating to a full 5 star review! I highly recommend to others.

What a nice place to leave your pet for a day. We were camping up at the Fryeburg fair in Maine not…read moretoo far away from here. We wanted to go on the railway up Mount Washington so we needed a babysitter for the day for Cannoli. This place was clean and big and bright and very reasonably priced. When we brought Cannoli I asked if they had a groomer there because his hair was getting in his eyes. We went to pick him up and discovered that he had not been the best boy. I guess he got tired of being in the room with the little dogs and wanted to go out. He is a real people lover. So they had him in a different section with a bowl of water and he was fine. His hair had been trimmed around his eyes and looked perfect. It was a great experience and I'm happy to know that they are there if we need them.

I already wrote a review on their website and it disappeared…read more I didn't want to write this review but I feel it's important for people who love their pets. We brought our seventeen year old papillon for two days last weekend to Karla's Pet Rendezvous. Our first impression was great. They were very friendly and they said they were waiting for us. Someone took our dog right away and said she would be with her. The woman at the desk received our dog's bag and started taking notes of everything we needed with respect to feeding our dog. We gave her a new bag of very special food and explained how to serve it. We told her also that we left a can of food, only in case of need. She was saying yes to everything. I wonder if she actually wrote it down. Two days later we returned for our dog. We were very concerned to find out if she ate well. She usually doesn't eat well when we are not around and that's why we brought in the special food. To our surprise, they said she ate well. We also asked if she was taken out to the bathroom recently. She said about an hour ago. Our dog was crying from the moment she saw us, which was also unusual but we thought she really missed us. We left, thinking everything was fine. We took her outside and she peed immediately for a long time. She doesn't do this unless she hasn't been out for hours. I was already disappointed but I didn't say anything and left. Our dog kept crying in the car, which it's also strange. I gave her a treat and she devoured it. And wanted more. I told my husband, our dog seems very hungry which it's very unusual since it was about 3 in the afternoon and she doesn't eat dinner until after 6. We stopped to feed her. The first thing we found was the bag of the special foods that was not even open. We served it immediately and our dog was really starving. They didn't even opened it! We found the can food that was open and they used only a little bit. We were so upset. Our dog ate and stopped crying. The next day I called the pet boarding place and they dismissed me. They said it was an accident. I felt really bad to have left my dog in such bad care. I do not recommend this place at all.

Jet takes weekly walks with Michele and Chelsea, and both have stayed overnight with all my pets so I could get out of town.

Moki is 11 now and suffers from arthritis, but still loves to be super active and get out and play. I was away out of town for one long weekend with my boyfriend and we asked Brandy to take Moki for a hilly hike and I couldn't have asked for better care. Brandy was meticulous making sure she had all of Moki's essentials before they left. She put together a little care package with water, snacks, poop bags, leash and of course Moki's favorite ball. Brandy was also very careful about what type of meds Moki might need in case she was sore when she came back and we discussed Moki's favorite way to take her meds too. You could really tell Brandy had lots of prior experience as a Vet Tech the way she was so systematic about it all. However, the special bond Brandy formed with my dog after only meeting her for such a short while before we had to leave and go out of town was really the most impressive thing of all. Brandy really loves animals and she has a special way about her that makes them respond very positively to her too. I couldn't believe how attached Moki was to Brandy when we got back and also how good Moki looked with no limping or soreness even though they had gone for a pretty long hard hike together, as per my request. Brandy said that she had even given Moki a little mini doggy massage on her back legs, which was wonderful. Moki seemed so happy that she had gotten to get out still even though Mom and Dad had to go away for the weekend. Brandy provided exactly the type of service I am looking for in a pet sitter. I wouldn't want to give anything less to our family's fuzzy best friend.
