We live in Brooklyn and got our first dog this summer. #pandemicpuppy From the start we realized we…read moreneeded a lot of training and we went through a thorough research and interview process to determine we wanted a board and train program. During this process we conducted consultations with several trainers throughout NYC and when we finally connected with Anna we were impressed with her extensive knowledge of dog training that was far beyond what we had encountered with other trainers. Anna has a three pronged approach of positive, corrective, and relaxation techniques which is a much more holistic approach than we encountered when we interviewed other trainers. Anna's focus on relaxation is different than any trainer we interviewed or worked with which teaches dogs how to exist in a calm state, which becomes homeostasis. This is what we wanted most with our dog so that we can all peacefully coexist together. Anna's home and dog training quarters are in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of Mt Ascutney. There is a lot of open outdoor area for the dogs to learn off-leash skills and to have exciting distractions such as goats and other dogs. Having a calm, natural setting is a benefit which is allowing our dog to master foundational skills without other distractions. However, because Anna knows that we will be brining our dog back to the city, she has taken our pup to busier areas to work on training with other distractions. After 10 days we met up with Anna and our dog to get some training transferred to us and it was like meeting a different dog. Our dog has already learned great leash skills and is able to be around other dogs and people without becoming overly aroused. She is immediately responsive to all major commands. Anna is also working on house training issues and helping our pup to learn to go outside. Initially our dog wasn't able to go outside because she was becoming too distracted when we were in the city. When we dropped our pup off she was newly recovering from being fixed and Anna's background as a nurse made us feel more at ease knowing that she would be attentive to her healing. Anna's depth of knowledge and clear instructions with us has already helped us learn so much about how to engage with our dog. We are so happy we found her services! I'm surprised that there aren't more 5 star reviews here that sing her praises. Thank you, Anna!

My dogs are all XL and can be a handful; she's got them wrapped around her treat-filled fingers! And my cats (who are a little spooky) treat her like a member of the family! I love that I get daily updates and photos, and I know I can trust my house and the health and happiness of my herd with Dionna when I'm gone. It makes vacations and travel for work so much easier. She is very communicative via various ways (text/email/phone) and she keeps the house spotless. I thoroughly recommend Dionna!

From the owner: I have LOVED animals my ENTIRE LIFE and have an affinity for dogs especially (GOD spelled…read morebackwards). I have never been without a dog. I started off the early age of five caring for our family Scottish Terrier, Scottie, as a puppy until he was 13 years old. Then, I fell in love with Dachshunds; like they say "you can't just have one," so at one time, I had three males (Rusty, Rex & Riley) for almost 10 years. To date, I've rescued seven (my eldest, Missy, who I was gifted at the age of 11 weeks old lived a full and MUCH LOVED life for 18 years old). My current, mini-Doxie, Riley (featured on my Home page), is an easy-going little guy who loves everyone, is placid and docile. He's famous for his kisses, if you don't mind having your face licked. We enjoy a variety of activities including hiking, playing tug and fetching, which is an unusual and unique interest for the breed. My one and only cat was an orange tabby named Magic, but I haven't had any more kitties since him as he was a one-of-a-kind feline who thought he was ​a dog! LOL! I've been a Reiki Master (attuned '98) and offer healing energy to any fur-baby for calming energy is there's a storm approaching, a minor injury and the like. I also use alternative medicine such as homeopathy, herbology, etc., as needed. I hope you'll reach out to me to care for your beloved four-legged(s) and/or winged feathered friends (sorry, no reptiles, please).

We have a wonderful fenced in yard for safe outside play where your dog can socialize with other dogs. Our one hour hikes are on on local trails right here in beautiful Ludlow, Vermont, where your dog can explore and take in all the smells nature has to offer. For our seniors we offer shorter walks and lots of love as well as overnights at your home (while you’re traveling) where they feel more comfortable. We also offer boarding in our home (space is limited) where your dog can make themselves right at home. It’s like a doggy bed and breakfast right on top of a beautiful Vermont mountain. No crates necessary unless your dog prefers one. While boarding with us our house becomes there’s. They can spend the day with their friends who come for daycare playing in our backyard or lounging on our shaded covered front porch. We hope you’ll come check us out. We’d love to meet your four legged family members!

We'd always left our dogs at a kennel / daycare when we've traveled. But as we've moved to a new…read morearea, and hadn't found a kennel we loved near us, we decided to try the Happy Pet Caregivers when we planned a two week vacation. We felt some apprehension about having the dogs alone overnight with only day visits for walks and feedings, and initially decided to have the pet sitter stay overnight. We met with our primary pet sitter, Allayn, and her back up / emergency coverage sitter Roxy (just the idea that they had a back up plan was reassuring). They were thorough in their questions and really made us comfortable before our trip. Then, on short notice, we had a family emergency and needed a sitter on very short notice, several weeks before our planned vacation. Allayn was able to accommodate us, and the short 3 day coverage, without a sleep-over, convinced us our pets would be fine. Allayn has a great way with dogs (even our cat, who hates everyone, warmed up to her). She's also very reliable, and is a great communicator. For our vacation, we decided that we didn't need the overnight stay - as Allayn fed, exercised, groomed and even vacuumed) and the animals were fine. One of the dogs developed a health issue just before or vacation - Allayn gave his meds, and communicated with us about his condition, keeping us from worrying too much. The price is reasonable - about the same as 2 dogs in a kennel - and the service is outstanding. And I now believe the dogs were happier in their own homes than they ever were in a kennel. I highly recommend Happy pet Caregivers, and Allayn in particular.
