Dog Boarding in Higganum

Words cannot express how grateful my family and I are to Margaret. I loved her vibe from the moment I met her and her dog, Mojo. Margaret is truly a professional, and after just a 15-minute meet-and-greet, I felt completely comfortable leaving our 7½-year-old Boxer, Bella, in her care. I had absolutely no doubt that Bella would be in the best of hands. It was immediately clear how knowledgeable and experienced Margaret is with dogs. As a retired firefighter and K-9 trainer, she brings a unique combination of compassion, discipline, experience, and calm confidence that immediately put me at ease. The way Mojo responds to her commands is incredibly impressive, and Bella took an instant liking to both of them—she was leaning on Margaret for pets within minutes! You can truly tell that Margaret loves, understands, and knows dogs. Margaret took such wonderful care of Bella. She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout her stay with regular photos. Bella had plenty of time to run and play freely with Mojo in Margaret’s fenced-in yard, and they also enjoyed leashed walks together. I would 💯 recommend Margaret to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog. I’m so grateful we found her and hope Bella gets to stay with Margaret and Mojo again! 🐾❤️

Sherry was very warm and welcoming to our two dogs when they spent the weekend with her. Her home is very dog-centric and she had all sorts of toys for them to play with. She also had a special ramp to assist our older arthritic dog with getting up on the couch. She was very organized and asked for detailed lists regarding their daily routines and care. She walked them regularly and sent updates via photos and video. We were very reassured that our dogs were receiving top quality care and heartily recommend Sherry as a top-notch pet sitter!

Klaudia was a great pet sitter. From the first moment she met our doggo, our minds were at ease! She provided regular updates and was adaptable as needed.

Jennifer and Inam took care of our two dachshunds for 10 days while we were out of the country. They were very easy and flexible with timing for a meet and greet, drop off and pick up. They kept us updated and kept our minds at ease with picture of the dogs looking happy and hanging out with all of the other dogs at their house. This was our first time leaving our dogs for this length of time and it was a great experience with 0 issues. I would definitely reccomend them! Thank you both!! ❤️

Easy to work with. Sent lots of pics. Took great care of our Yorkie!

Kathryn, Jeremy, and their kids were wonderful with Maple! She immediately felt comfortable with the family and had the best time. She received constant love and attention and I received frequent photos and updates. I will definitely use Kathryn and Jeremy again in the future!

Were wonderfully accommodating in watching my pup last-minute when I had a family emergency on a holiday while watching a bunch of other dogs. Super grateful for their help!

Anita and her family were amazing! I left my sweet Kali with them for 9 days and they took excellent care of her. She has been sulking since coming home because she misses them. I was updated with photos on a daily basis and I’m so happy that I’ve found this wonderful family to leave our pup with when we go away. I think Kali might actually be better behaved than before I left her with Anita. Can’t thank Anita and her sweet family enough! Kali had the best time! Thank you!!!!!

Incredibly kind and communicative. Lloyd got lots of exercise with Christopher’s dog, who is a sweetie. Will absolutely be rebooking. Thank you, Christopher!!

Araceli was amazing!! I was very nervous leaving our 8 month old yorkie for the first time while we were away for 10 days. She was very patient, and exceeded our expectations as she kept us well informed on him daily through her photos, videos, and messages! Our dog also had plenty of fun playing with their sweet dogs who kept him entertained during our time away! I absolutely plan to use her in the future as I could tell our dog absolutely adored her! And I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting!

Torie was wonderful with Mocha. She was incredibly responsive and very flexible about drop-off and pick-up times, which I really appreciated. I also loved that she told me she would check with me before booking another dog while Mocha was staying with her. I tend to leave pretty detailed information about Mocha—several pages covering his normal routines, the cues he knows, his health and vaccine history, and all the little things that help him feel at home. It was obvious that Torie had actually read everything and was using that information while caring for him, which gave me a lot of confidence. Every evening she sent me a “pupdate” with photos, and throughout his stay I had the sense that Mocha was completely comfortable with Torie, her family, and her dog, Lily. He seemed happy, relaxed, and very much at home. I would book with Torie again in a heartbeat and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I can't say enough great things about Stephen and Cathy - my two pups spent a couple of weeks with them in their lovely home, being treated like royalty and completely spoiled. It's always tough leaving your pups with strangers, particularly for an extended period, but I got a great feeling from Stephen from the moment we first talked, and that continued all the way from meeting in person through picking up my pups at the end of my travels. Stephen sent me photos and videos regularly throughout their stay so that I could see that they were doing well and having a great time, took them on regular walks and trips to the dog park, and even snuck them some extra treats and toys. I can't overstate how nice - and rare - it is to feel completely comfortable that your dogs are being well looked after so that you can relax and enjoy your own trip. I wouldn't hesitate to board my dogs with Stephen and Cathy again in the future (and I think the pups are a bit disappointed they're back to just boring old me, too...) :D Thanks again!

Stephanie was amazing with Hachi. She made me felt comfortable and sent lots of pictures. Hachi looked like he was right at home. I had no worries while he was in her care. I felt her experience with multiply breeds gave me a sense of peace. I highly recommend Stephanie and will work with her in the future.

Katie and her lovely family took great care of Maycee! They welcomed her as part of their family and I didn’t have to worry about Maycee while I was away. Katie shared some adorable pictures that made my day. Thank you!

My little Sunshine stayed with Angela and Tommy over the holiday weekend and she was very happy! The many pictures showed me her joy and comfort in their home. Angela even gave me a tip for how to encourage Sunshine to eat her breakfast! Sunshine will he back.

I was passing through Waterbury and wasn't able to get accommodations for myself and my pup, the hotel wasn't dog friendly. Yajaira was able to watch Bella overnight. She is very responsive and nice.
