Ann's Dog Boarding

Ann's Dog Boarding is an in-home, cage-free dog boarding service in Berlin, CT, for adult and senior dogs. Dogs stay inside the house rather than in runs or crates, and only one family's dogs are booked at a time unless a dog genuinely enjoys company. The setup reads more like a quiet vacation than a stay at a commercial facility.

What the place is like

The home is a single-story ranch with no stairs, an easy layout for older or less mobile dogs to move around. The yard is a full acre, fully fenced, with real room to run. Beds, bowls, toys, and treats are already on hand, so owners pack less. Photo updates go out while owners are away.

Services and amenities

• In-home boarding with one family's dogs at a time
• Cage-free stays with indoor and outdoor space
• Fully fenced one-acre yard
• Medication administration and special diets
• Photo updates during the stay

Which dogs are a fit

This is a small, adults-only setup. Ann's Dog Boarding accepts adult and senior dogs, and the no-stairs floor plan is aimed squarely at seniors. Bully breeds and bully mixes are not accepted, and that policy is firm rather than case-by-case. Owners of puppies or young, high-energy dogs will want to look at other options around Berlin.

Booking and first visits

Booking happens by phone at (860) 515-8780. A meet and greet comes before a first stay, which gives the dogs a chance to meet ahead of time and gives owners a look at the house and yard. Questions can also go to Ann@annsdogboarding.com, and the full site is at annsdogboarding.com.
