Boutique style pet sitting
Pet care experience
Milo’s House is a private in home pet sitting business that is licensed and insured. I offer boarding, daycare, dog walking, cat sitting, farm sitting and drop ins. The business is named after my dog Milo, an English black lab. I also have a senior kitty,Lillie. Milo’s house is my full time job which offers flexibility to my clients. I have experience administering pills and injections for animals. My home is located in Holliston right off of the rail trail and I have a large fenced in yard with 2 sections to separate dogs if needed. I do have access to kennels, crates and baby gates to keep the dogs safe. In addition I have toys, bones and access to fresh water.
Reviews
Lauren was great while we were away! She stopped by twice/day to check on our kittens and feed them, clean the litter box, change the water etc for ten days while we were on vacation. She also was super helpful by checking the mail each day and bringing our trash and recycling to the street on pick up day. We also liked getting photos of our buddies while we were away.
Lauren is the best! Highly recommend booking with her!!!
Spencer had a great time at Lauren's! He got plenty of exercise and play time with friend's. He is probably bored to be home after his vacation.
Lauren is a responsible, reliable dog sitter who clearly loves all creatures. She has a great set up with a beautiful fenced in back yard. I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy in her capable hands. My pup has only had two days with her but I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority at my home. I do not take dogs that are reactive or aggressive because of the liability for me and my clients dogs. If you need a recommendation for somewhere, please ask as I have a friends that owns a commercial dog training business. Dogs are allowed to roam the house and the yard throughout the day. Kennels and crates are available for quiet time and safety. I have Furbos indoors and Ring cameras outside to record. I use this to show pet parents what happened if an issue arises. All pets are treated as if they’re my own! They are allowed in bed and on furniture.

Availability
Pet care is my full time job. I also work part time at a donut shop on the weekends. I am home most of the day unless I need to leave for walks. Typically, that will be between the hours of 10-3. During this time the dogs will be able to take a nap and relax.
