Private home boarding is not easy to find…

Private home boarding, however was not, is not easy to find. It is rarely listed on the internet with kennels in a given area. I usually found them through word of mouth recommendations. Once when we were going to Nantucket we found a situation very near the ferry in a home with several small dogs and a family with two children. They reported that Toby was always ready for play and had taken a shine to the daddy who looked a bit like Santa Clause! He was a happy camper when we picked him up!

Private Home Boarding

I had never heard of “Private Home Boarding” when Donna and Gary told me about Bill’s Dog Sitting Service, where they had recently boarded their two Westies.. That was back in Newburyport, Massachusetts, when Toby, my poodle, was only 5 years old. Bill’s place was a picture perfect little white Cape with green shutters .

I was ushered into a very tidy home with  a formal living room & dining room and on the left an expandable gate cordoning off a very large sunny room with, an impressive TV showing “Animal Planet and 4 large couches full of lounging dogs! On the right the was a door leading to a ruff looking area for the big guys and on the left a french door leading to a formal garden with  grass and flowers for little guys like my Toby. No cages in sight. Even though it took Toby a little while to gain confidence he was soon running with the pack. That was it! Never again was he caged behind chain link!

Hello from My House, Your Little Dog !

Greeting from our house! Private Hone Boarding is the thoughtful,caring choice for your little dog. It is snuggle time on the couch. There is lots of love to go around so Mia, Tika, Fu, Fang and poodle Toby are loging in some cuddle time. We just returned from a romp at the dog park where Toby, my guest organizer, watches over the little guys.
