When you love your pets as much as I do, it is hard to trust someone to enter your home and take care of them. But Kerrie does this and so much more. On top of that, she sends me pictures at the end of her walk so that I know my little buddy is safe and sound inside. There have even been moments when I think my pets love her more than me! Haha. I cannot gush about Kerrie enough. I don't think I could have a dog without having Kerrie to help me. She has helped us to raise him and showers love on him and on us each and every day.

I brought my dogs here a few years back and they were great but recently I took them again and was…read morefurious when I picked them up. I mentioned to the girl when I dropped the dogs off I wanted them both walked every other day throughout their 10 day stay, I also advised I would like their nails clipped. Because the girl didn't write any of what I said down I also called back the following day to once again reiterate what I wanted. The sign behind the desk specifically states ANY DOGS BOARDED FOR MORE THAN 4 DAYS WILL BE BATHED AT OWNERS EXPENSE, so I figured no sense in also adding a bath as I expected it to be automatically charged and included. When I picked up my dogs they smelled and clearly were not bathed, had their own feces on their feet and their nails had not been clipped. I paid the bill and was very distraught. When I got home and checked the bill the area where they note if you selected to have the dogs walked was crossed out, so clearly they were also not walked. My older dog was limping a bit when I dropped her off and had asked that they call me right away if she at all worsened. I never received a call from them but when I called about the 5th day in to check they said yes their both fine and eating. However when I got her home she didn't eat at all and could barely walk. I WILL NEVER EVER TAKE MY DOGS BACK HERE.

They have webcams that allow you to watch your dog either outside or inside the communal areas. I kind of wish they had individual camper cabin cams, but that would be unrealistic, I know. Most importantly, they seem to really care about making sure the dogs are comfortable and happy. When our holiday trip out of town got extended by a few days because of cancelled flights they were accommodating. The last day he was there he was starting to get a little antsy and irritated, so they called me and let me know they would give him more alone time in his cabin. They did want me to consider having our emergency contact come pick him up, but they were able to hold off until we got back, which I appreciated. My dog (an adopted Lhasa Apso) doesn't really do good with other dogs or people, but he seemed really chill while he was there. The dogs hang out in their cabins for a couple hours around noon, but otherwise are on camera most of the day. It made it a million times easier to be away when I could check on him. Also, the first day you visit for an interview is a free day of dog sitting! They just want you to be gone for at least a few hours to check how the dog handles it.

I was looking to get away for a long weekend without burdening a friend and asking someone to stop…read moreby and feed and walk my dog (Bailey) 3 times a day when my mom had an idea. My mother has had Linda take care of her cat at home for over eight years, whenever my mother is out of town for more than a day. Linda was recommended by a Glastonbury veterinarian and has had a key to mom's house, watered plants, taken in mail and newspapers, lets the cat in and out, and of course feeds him and checks the litter box for a per visit fee. My mom noticed that Linda's website said she now boards some dogs in her home for a daily (or half-day, if that's all you need) rate. My mom got me in touch with Linda who requested I bring my little chihuahua over several days before my trip so that they could meet and I could see the arrangements and make sure I didn't have any concerns or questions left unanswered. Linda has a great big fenced in yard for the dogs to play and exercise in, and lots of crates, gates and blankets so that all you need to provide is food (and treats if you'd like). Everything went well, the three other dogs that were at the house when I arrived (only one lives there) were all let outside so that Bailey could walk in and get comfortable without the distraction of the other dogs wanting to play. I also completed a form while visiting about things such as what kind of food I use, how much food and exercise Bailey gets daily, and who the vet is and if certain vaccines were up to date. I warned that Bailey has refused to eat once or twice when I was gone and Linda said she's dealt with similar situations before and has always found a way to get them to eat, even if it means cooking them eggs (right, she also asked about any food allergies in case it came to that)! Well I went on my trip and got a picture of Bailey texted to me the next day, then another picture her second day there of Bailey stretched out on Linda's lap outside enjoying the fire pit (the same way Bailey lays on my lap nightly on the couch). I texted at one point to make sure Bailey was eating and Linda said she did have to hand-feed her sometimes but she did get her to eat (and she was fed away from the other dogs, in her own space). It was a great experience and I will definitely be using this service again and recommend it for anyone that needs their dog boarded. Also, keep in mind that other places that board dogs (in kennels) are businesses with employees that leave early in the evening and don't return until morning, so there could be 12 (YES TWELVE) consecutive hours that no one is there to let the animals out to relieve themselves, that is not the kind of attention, or lack thereof, the animals receive in Linda's home where people are there throughout the night. Linda and Jack were great and you can tell they truly are animal lovers.

However, after speaking to Mark a lot of my anxiety was relieved. He was very professional and met with me in person prior to the sit. Not only did Mark and his team do a great job caring for my cat but they also took in the mail and turned on the lights at night. I felt secure having them at my house which was an added bonus. They also gave me daily updates on how my cat was doing, which is so incredibly important. I will be hiring MGB Pet Sitters again for another trip soon and I recommend them to anyone looking for a reputable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter!

They are actual babies at only 3-4 months of age. These puppies came from certified breeders. They claim all puppies come ready to go, with up to date vaccinations. As soon as I walked inside The Dog House I was greeted by hundreds of super fluffy and super noisy puppies. The lady named Iris handed me a puppy to play with, long before I asked for one. They are all so very precious and little. Some are more timid and others are spitfires of energy. It made me sad to see their water bowls were totally dry. My pup was drinking water till his very last days. I can't guarantee they are treated well. I would love to home all of these babies. Not this time for me.
