Description:

My boyfriend and I just moved to Allston from NYC. Although we miss living just blocks away from Central Park, Boston has greeted us with open arms. There is a great little park just two blocks away, Ringer Park, that we take our Jacob to and he loves it! There is a gated field (it's actually the softball field) for Jacob to run around freely and we always meet new friends. If the field is being used, there is always the top of the hill where many doggies rendezvous.

We also discovered the Chestnut Hill Reservoir on one of our long walks and cannot stay away. On nice days, Jacob and I enjoy the walk from my apartment to the reservoir and back in around 1.5 hours.

All in all, the neighborhood is extremely dog friendly, compared to other areas in Boston. Dog's are welcome in many of the local businesses and more times than not owners are willing and ready to greet Jacob with a treat! Not to mention, there is always something exciting going on in the Petco just 3 minutes away! Just lovely.

About Yoly M.:

I have been around dogs for most of my life. I recently left my job as an immigration paralegal and I am enjoying every second that I get to spend with my dog Jacob! Dog sitting has brought so much joy to my life, and I hope that I can make many more doggies happy and feel at home!

How long have you been a dog lover? Tell us about your history with dogs.

I have been a dog lover my whole life. My parents brought home a Jack Russel Terrier when I was just five years old. He lived for 15 years and passed away while I was in college. After graduation, I worked as an immigration paralegal in an office with a Yorkie named Ewi. I was with and cared for Ewi for four years. After leaving my job I decided that I would adopt a puppy, and here I am today with my ChiPom, Jacob.

What would you like to know about a dog before sitting him or her? Do you have any breed preferences?

My dog is an active dog that loves to walk/run on a daily basis. Is your dog active or more of a couch potato? Any special needs, allergies? Since I have experience with Yorkies, Jack Russels, and Chihuahuas, it would be wonderful to sit for those breeds. However, I love all dogs and do not mind sitting for other breeds.

Do you have reliable transportation in the event of an emergency?

I do not drive, however, there are plenty of reliable taxi services.

Are you comfortable administering medication?

Yes.

How much time do you plan on spending with my dog each day?

I work Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am - 3:30pm, and I have night school Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30pm - 8:30pm. Otherwise I am intend to spend all my free time with the pups!

If you have a backyard, please describe it.

Just Ringer Park in my backyard!

Where will my dog sleep?

We have a doggy bed as well as a crate, which has a memory foam cushion.

Where will you take my dog on walks? Tell me about it.

In the morning Jacob and I always start to Ringer Park. We do a whole loop before exiting onto Beacon Street and then back down to Long Ave. At around 2pm we head back to Ringer for 15 minutes of ball throwing and if not, walk down Harvard Ave all the way to Coolidge Corner.

Yoly is amazing. My little man gets super excited every time he goes over to see Jacob
My dog, Bernie, came home well-exercised and very happy. He really enjoyed his stay! I was especially grateful since I booked this sitting a the last minute. Yoly is great!

Yoly is a fantastic dogsitter. My dog Astaire was even sad to leave and really benefitted from socializing with other dogs. Yoly is great about sending updates during the stay, which is very comforting. Affordable and very professional. Thanks Yoly!
Our little pug had a great time spending the weekend with Yoly and Jacob. We would be happy to leave her with Yoly any time, with strong recommendations for potential clients to use her services..
Wow! My pooch is 8 years old and I have tried a variety of different kennels, pet hotels, etc- this was the first time I was able to leave my dog and not have any worries! Right off the bat, Yoly brought Jacob aka the welcome wagon outside and he and P hit it off right away! Yoly sent me fun videos and picture updates so I knew just how much fun P was having- he had a great time with a loving and active family! (Collapse)
My dog absolutely loved his stay with Yoly and her dog Jacob! He got plenty of exercise and playtime and was exhausted when he came home. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures while I was away, and was more than accomodating with my drop-off and pick-up schedule. My dog cannot wait for me to go on vacation again!

Yoly recently watched my little Louie for 10 days. While I was away I received picture updates and text messages about how Louie was doing. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more knowing that he was in a warm loving home while I was gone. After I picked Louie up Yoly even messaged me to tell me that she enjoyed having him and missed him! If you are going out of town and need to know that your pet is at a home away from home, leave him with Yoly :) (Collapse)
Not only did our dog Pepper had a terrific time at Yoly's for the weekend, but my experience working with Yoly was delightful. She was incredibly responsive and flexible with pick-up and drop-off and even offered to meet me in a more convenient spot. She has an adorable little dog who Pepper played with all weekend. I highly recommend Yoly and would happy to be a reference is she needs one.
Friendly people, lovely dog mate (Jacob is the sweetest!), there are not enough words to describe how happy I was to find Yoli to take care of our baby. I am certain my Anaiu had the best possible care, love and exercise. Best possible location, easy going person, great dog runs and best possible home for a dog away from home. Never ever kennel your dog! Call Yoli! Our pup is frightened of lightening and she had the best comfort during a storm. I was relaxed and stress free knowing Anaiu was in the best possible care!!!

Yoly is a fun loving, and caring individual, and most certainly is a natural animal lover. Having known Yoly for around six years, I am aware of her love of dogs, and happiness they bring to her - and indeed happiness she brings them. I have known her to have had two dogs in the time I have known her, both have been treated very well, and were always in good shape and health. She is trustworthy, and sincere in her care for animals, and thus would make an ideal dog sitter, and I fully endorse her. (Collapse)
I have known Yoly for over ten years. She is extremely intelligent and dependable and has a wonderful, sweet temperament. She shows her dedication and skill in all that she does, from being a scholar to being a wonderful Mom to her dog, Jacob. Anyone would be lucky to work and interact with her.
As a former co-worker of Yoly's who shared office space with her on a daily basis, I cannot give a higher recommendation. Yoly is smart, thoughtful, articulate, extremely hard-working and focused. Coming into the same paralegal position subsequent to her, I could not have gotten by if it were not for her patient help and expertise....always. Though of most importance, I can say that Yoly is a generous person who clearly cares about any job she takes on. As someone who knows her fairly well both personally and professionally, I know for a fact she would be an asset to anyone she works for. (Collapse)
Yoly is AMAZING! Her home has become Roscoe's second home. She is wonderful - is extremely flexible with pick-up and drop-off and great with Roscoe. Roscoe and Jacob are like long lost brothers (the pictures she sends of the two of them together are hilarious!). Since her Jacob is a Chihuahua mix she understands Roscoe's personality to a T. I highly, highly, highly recommend her!
