Your dog's home away from home :-)

Pet care experience

As a dog owner I know how difficult it is to leave your dog or cat when you are away. I view this as a work of love. Animals only want to be cared for and loved and that is what I provide. I have a condo in Cambridge, near MIT and Harvard that I share with my six-year old Cairn Terrier, Fidel. We live in an area full of parks and within a short ride of many local nature trails. I am an experienced dog walker and have boarded various breeds, sizes and even some with special needs. I can administer oral and topical medications, as needed, and will be mindful of any dietary restrictions your dog might have. I also provide cat visits at your home, as well as watering plants, bringing in mail and such while you are away. I only provide cat visits in Cambridge and Somerville due to time constraints. Except in the case of puppies less than six months old, I require your dog to be neutered, spayed and be flea and tick treated, as we will invariably take walks in woods where ticks occur. Your dog must get along with other dogs and be up on his/her vaccinations. I prefer to have a meet and greet appointment prior to you dropping your dog for his/her stay so you can learn about me, Fidel, our home and vice-versa. At that time I will ask that you bring a copy of your pet's vaccination records and/or your veterinarian's contact information. In short, I will walk, cuddle, feed, bathe, play with and love your dog while you are away as if he/she were my own. I will send you updates, photos and videos while you are away so you can stay in touch with your pooch on your travels. For me, this is a work of love and I do unto others's pets as I would have others do for my own Fidel. :-) Meet my pets I have a 6 year-old Cairn Terrier named Fidel.

Clementine had a great stay with Luciana! This was her first time staying away from home, and it was a wonderful experience for both her and me. Luciana sent photos of Clementine throughout the day so that I could see how she was doing. It was a huge relief to know that I was leaving my precious girl in loving and capable hands. I picked up my happy and content puppy after about 8 hours, and she spent the rest of the day snoozing away at home :) Luciana is a great resource, and I will definitely be using her services again!

We boarded our dog with Luciana many times, and she also walked her regularly for over a year. We were very satisfied with the care our dog received. Luciana is a very caring person who loves dogs. She would take her to parks nearby or for a drive to more wooded areas. We were very satisfied with the service she provides.

There is no better caregiver for dogs than Ms. Luciana. Period. She has taken care of our Cavalier King Charles on multiple occasions. The care and attention that she gives him is made clear whenever we drop him off: he runs to her and gives her big sloppy dog kisses. It's so wonderful to see and we are immediately at ease when we go away for short or extended trips. Our dog has special medication needs which she handles like a vet reflecting Ms. Luciana's medical background. And her own dog, Fidel, is a real 'gentleman' and is calm and respectful of our dog and gets along with him so well. It's like taking your dog for a play date! We heartily recommend her for any and all dog caring needs.
