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.

I honestly thought maybe they had been rinsed or washed. It wasn't until we got to the car that I realized they were DRENCHED IN URINE. DRENCHED IN URINE. The smell was so bad we had to go back to our host's home and bathe them. The smallest dog had feces on her head. Based on the way they were drinking water from the hose, I don't think they had access to fresh water. All three were intensely thirsty and starving. It was really bad. Two of the dogs are on special diets. We brought their special food and labeled it. Clearly, they weren't fed the food b/c they had diarrhea. Not to be gross but based on the color it wasn't their special food. It was the kibble she feeds all the dogs. I can't imagine that this place is compliant with state regulations for care of animals. I can't imagine sending animals home hungry, thirsty, and covered in urine and feces is within state guidelines. I feel like I paid to have my animals mistreated. :-(

TLDR: Dirty, disorganized, poor customer service, possibly neglectful…read more I took my 6 month old puppy here for her first doggy daycare experience, as we live in an isolated area and she needs socialization. I explained this both on the phone and at drop-off, also noting that she starts off fearful, then warms quickly to other dogs. I was a little bit worried when I dropped her off, because frankly, the facilities were a mess--stinky, visibly dirty (even in the office), and piled with disorganized clutter. The staff I interacted with seemed to be teenagers with no customer service training. When I picked up my dog at the end of the day and asked how she did with playtime, they told me she seemed fearful and so they just kept her in the kennel all day--no playtime, which was what I told them I was paying for. The pickup was disorganized and my dog came out visibly distressed, shaking, with her tail all chewed up. I asked about it, and they said her tail was probably just wet from spraying down the kennel. Spraying down the kennel? With her inside of it? Or, did they put her alone in a wet concrete room in January? Either way, not okay. She never barks at people (only other dogs), but was incessantly barking at one of the attendants, who repeatedly told her to "just stop it". As I paid (?!) and hurried her out to the car to calm down, they forgot to give me back her food, scoop, and medical paperwork. I remembered the food and went back inside for it. All night she was anxious, pooping and peeing 3x as much as normal, and trying to chew her tail (not something she usually does). She stank like urine, feces, and chemicals. Three days later (this morning), they called to tell me to come get her paperwork. I am angry.

I called Chebaco a few hours before they were due to close to see about their availability and prices. The girl who answered the phone was very friendly and informative, and said that it was no problem to take my dog for the weekend. We arrived with his food and bed, and the girl (owner, I believe) took care to give us a full tour of the facilities, including where he would be playing and sleeping. Each dog gets their own kennel, and is allowed to play/run freely with the other dogs, as long as they're well behaved. The price was very affordable ($22 for the night), and the establishment was kept very clean and comfortable. They also offer grooming, which we forwent, but were glad to know that it was there. When we picked him up afterwards, we could tell he had a great time, and was completely pooped when he got home. The owner welcomed us back again, and we have since boarded there a second time. I would fully recommend Chebaco Kennel to anyone- it's clean, everyone is friendly (both dogs and humans), it's affordable, and there is space outside to run and play. :)

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.

It made a huge difference and I had the greatest respect for Jess. Unfortunately, the last time I brought my Newfoundland the owner, Mary, massively shamed me. My dog went through surgery when he was two, that they were well aware of since they were taking care of him before and after. The surgery was a success, but my Newfie suffers from the shakes when he gets nervous or does something he doesn't like. We bring him to the vet yearly and they monitor his hips and have said he's fine, but he has anxiety when he's brushed by his back legs. Jess is well aware that the shakes are simply his way to con people into not doing what he doesn't want to, he's a master manipulator. We did recently bring him to a new vet and we were going to try anxiety meds for him at his next visit. The last time we brought him we did explain that he had a couple of mats and to over charge us if they had a more difficult time grooming him. When I called later to pick him up no one answered, I tried several times. I was a little concerned as it was after 4 and they didn't typically take that long. So I drove there and they were just finishing. Mary came out hot, shaming me for his mats and for how bad he shakes and made me feel just awful. She is well aware the shakes are neurological and she made me feel like a horrible dog owner yelling about how bad he shakes. She yelled that I need to start bringing him in every 6 weeks or more, which I simple cannot afford at over $120 a visit. I still gave her a generous tip and cried on the way home. We try to bring him in 4 times a year, especially in the spring for a deeper trim before he starts swimming. Even though I was ashamed and embarrassed I trusted these guys with my Dexter so I called in May to make an appointment and left a message. I tried again a few weeks later, left a message. Again I tried and left a message with her husband to call back, no response. My husband tried to call and the lovely Jess answered, but she had to check with Mary on a time, no call back. I left another message a day later asking if they were stopping us as clients and to please let us know as it's been two months of me trying to make an appointment and Dexter is in desperate need at this point, no forking call back. At this point I'm so incredibly disappointed with this company. 6 years Dexter went to them and with his trust issues it's going to be very difficult to find another groomer, let alone someone that can support his giant weight. I just thought after years of dedication they would at least have the decency to let us no they no longer wish to see our dog so we could have made arrangements sooner for another visit. I was stupidly loyal even after Mary treated me so poorly. The crazy things is, Jess stated multiple times in the past that we do the best with our Newfie to keep him groomed between appointments, better than the other owners so this last appointment and the vigorous shaming by Mary was completely unexpected. Wish Jess the best, but I have zero respect for the owner Mary. You don't do this to loyal customers.

Our…read morepup is a cautious boy and was unsure of the staff at first, but we introduced him to Mary and her team a few times prior to dropping him off for 5-days a week doggie daycare. Our pup is now 5 1/2 years old and LOVES going to APPR. Although we now live 30 minutes away, we still take him to APPR whenever we need someone to care for him if we are going to be away for a few hours or a week. We attempted a different place when I changed jobs a few years ago to save on my commute for daycare drop off, but our pup did not adjust to this new place well. He was scared and did not respond well to the pet caregivers. We were told he hid in a corner most of the days and didn't play with the other dogs and was scared whenever a group of dogs approached him. The new place operated under a "dog park" mentality and all the dogs were grouped together during the day-our pup was telling them and us he didn't like that style. The new place had all the bells and whistles of fancy live feed cameras, indoor playground and outdoor playground, but our dog didn't care about that and didn't care to remain at the new place. Our dog responds very well to positive reinforcement, how he is being treated and how he is being taken care of and our pup is happiest when in small groups or 1:1 playtime. APPR offers this type of service for him. APPR is a family-owned business so they do not have all the bells and whistles like some other surrounding or larger places within a 20-30 mile radius, but they care for, individualized care, and are attentive to the pets they service. When our pup is boarded, we provide plenty of treats, food and toppers along with his blanket and dog bed to provide a more 'comfort of home' feel for him. We know how much he eats and what he likes and APPR honors our feeding plan and gives the measurements, food, toppers and treats that we request. We have a wonderful relationship and 2-way communication with APPR. If we request grooming and/or bathing as a part of his stay, we ask for this at a minimal extra charge. Oni has experienced both daily daycare and boarding services and he and we are happy with their service. When my husband and I travel, we know that our pup is in good hands with Mary and her team. Thank you all for taking such good care of our furbaby. My husband and I do and continue to recommend A Precious Pet Resort for daycare or boarding. A picture of his first day at APPR!
