Dog Boarding in Canaan

John and his wife, Orie are the absolute best! They are our go to when we go out of town. They take care of our pup like he’s part of their family! Highly recommend and truly always appreciate their flexibility with us! Thank you!

Nicole was so warm and welcoming to Eva and provided many pics and updates. Eva was welcomed into the family and had so much fun playing and going in adventures over the weekend. So happy to have found a home away from home for Eva!

Our dog Max had a great time with Peter and Monique. They were kind and took him for walks and offered plenty of lap time to keep him happy while we were gone.

Mary Ann took great care of Rocky! We are so appreciative of Mary Ann watching Rocky in her home for the weekend, especially on short notice. Excellent communication throughout. Rocky is quite anxious and it takes him awhile to build trust. Mary Ann was very patient with him. We highly recommend for dog sitting/boarding. Thank you so much Mary Ann!

Lynette, Honey and her family continue to be the best! Our dog, Farley loves going to “camp” with her family and pack. Thank you for always folding him in as one of yours!

Mary and Todd took wonderful care of Darcy! They took him on the long walks he needs and sent me plenty of updates and pictures. I'll definitely contact them again if I need a sitter!

Franny is a very thoughtful and caring sitter. I trust not only that my 13 year old Maltese will be well cared but also that she will have a great time. Will always check with Franny first when needing a sitter.

Nell is a great person to work with! Every time we have left our pup with her, he comes back healthy and happy. She is very communicative and flexible. Thanks!

I LOVE Magnolia, so much -- and, most importantly, my dog Murphy ADORES her! My girl-dog is my baby, almost 7 year old Lab mix, and I am VERY careful about who takes care of her. I left Murphy in Maggie's care for an entire week and she was supremely well cared for and had a wonderful time. We'll definitely be heading back to "Camp Magnolia", and soon! What a relief it is to find someone who truly cares for your pet.

I have boarded my dogs with her for years- despite having to travel over an hour to drop them off. This is not because she's my mother, but because she is so great with dogs! I have lived out of state and had to search for good boarding for my previous foster dog, who had serious separation anxiety, so I know it's hard to find good boarding! She works from home, so she is always near the phone and computer to respond to boarding requests. Her property is perfect for romping and she even has a fenced in area for them to play worry free! If I had to sum it up, I'd say Archer had a great stay at Animal Fare's Almost Home Dog Care! What a great idea instead of boarding your dog at the cold, lonely vet's office, or in a mass room of crates, only to be taken out to use the potty. I am a VERY picky, strict pet Momma...She complied with my requests and is always so accommodating. Once you meet her and see her interaction with your dog (and her dogs) you will have no doubts about her talent and knowledge with dog handling. Cindy's house is set back from the road, which makes my worries about accidents much less. There is a large, grassy, fenced in area (the fence is over 5' high) where Archer can romp to his heart's desire, without worry about cars, or getting lost in a new place. The wrap around deck is also gated off, for play time close to the house. Reports are that Archer played a lot! I can tell, he's pooped! (A working Momma loves a pooped Pooch!). This was also a wonderful option because Archer's routine can sometimes be more in depth than others. I feed raw and give vitamins and supplements with every meal. As someone who has a vast amount of knowledge on dog nutrition, Cindy had no problem meeting our special feeding requests. Archer ate his normal raw food and got all of his supplements with no hitches! (She is also a retailer for BRAVO raw diet, so she totally understood Mommas can be "picky" about their Pup's food!). Archer slept in a crate while at Animal Fare and Cindy took him out just before bed and first thing in the morning, just like Momma does! Cindy also offered training and nail filing (with the necessary training) for an additional fee- a two for one! Thank you DogVacay!-Lena

Friendly and welcoming. Great communication. Our puppy has a great overnight with James and his family. Would highly recommend and we will use him again!

Addie had a great time!!! Lots of love all around

Katie is absolutely amazing!!! Lincoln had an amazing time while in her care and came back to us happy and full of energy!!! This is very different from when we’ve used traditional boarding in the past. She remained in constant contact and responded to any messages instantly!!! 10 or 10 we will utilize her services again the next time we need to leave Lincoln for any amount of time as well as maybe use her for daycare in the future too.

Excellent, careful and detailed care. Angela asks all the right questions and keeps you updated the entire time. Really couldn't ask for better! Big yard for the dogs too!

We have used Christine quite a few times now. She in her mother are caring loving and totally competent. Pictures are sent along with a running commentary. We think she's terrific.

Karina is the best!! I usually leave everything for the last minute, including finding a sitter for my dog and because of this I have a hard time finding someone who's available. Karina was very accommodating. She was willing to work with me even though my plans changed a few times. Also while I was on my trip she kept me up to date with my dog's stay. A few times a day she would send me pictures and updates on how my dog was doing. He had a great time!!! Karina also has a dog that is very friendly and energetic. Even though my dog is not very energetic or playful, Karina's dog convinced my dog to play and have fun!! It was like a vacation for my dog while I was on vacation also. I will definitely have Karina watch my dog again. 10/10

Ben and Kim took such great care of our dog. They sent numerous photos and updates through out the day, were super responsive, and made sure our dog was happy and comfortable her entire stay. When it was time to go home, our dog gave Kim lots of kisses and I instantly knew how happy she had been on the farm.
