Dog Boarding in Ashby, MA

“Had a great experience with Phil! Due to unforeseen circumstances, he was very flexible with Maddi’s stay. He is a great communicator and Maddi seemed to enjoy her stay. Hope to see Phil again!”

“Emily took great care of my pug Forrest. She sent many messages and pictures daily showing how he was enjoying his stay with her and her family. He enjoyed himself so much that he was reluctant to leave when I arrived to pick him up him up, literally hiding behind Emily so I wouldn’t pick him up. I will definitely use Emily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great family home environment for their pet when away. A+, 5-stars.”

“Excellent experience. Sara seemed professional, friendly, and very on top of things. She stayed in close touch about our little guy, and Kiwi seemed in good spirits both during his visit and after. I'd also specifically flag her location as a bonus—the house has a good yard and it's on a small, low-traffic side street, which always makes me feel better.”

“Judy was awesome with my dog, Cody! Her upbeat personality and love of dogs was so evident- and my dog really enjoyed her yard- he kept running in circles! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay- I definitely hope to book with Judy again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 13 years, starting at a young age with my own family pets and continuing through friends, neighbors, and relatives who trusted me with their animals. I have experience with cats, rabbits, puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, including feeding routines, daily walks, bathing, administering basic medications, and providing calm companionship. I’m patient, observant, and very attentive to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, emotional well-being, and routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays while ensuring pets are never rushed or left alone for long periods. I enjoy building my day around an animal’s needs rather than fitting them into a rigid routine. I prioritize a calm, safe, and structured environment at all times. I carefully follow any instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, and house rules. I’m attentive on walks, respectful of leash safety, and mindful of each pet’s comfort and boundaries. In a client’s home, I keep the space clean, secure, and peaceful, and I always aim to maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. Trust, communication, and gentle care are at the heart of how I look after every animal.

“Frankie and Alice had a great time with Ralph, great walks and lots of cuddling for Alice. Frankie needs regular pills to stay healthy and he came back in better shape than when I dropped him off. Definitely will be a repeat customer!”

“We had a wonderful experience! Our girl , Anne, was treated like family and she had a blast with Rachael’s dog , Kevin! I personally love receiving update and pictures ! We will definitely be sending Anne over for boarding again when we are traveling.”

“Alberta took great care of my pet mice! She helped me move their cage, put them into their travel carrier for me (which is not an easy task sometimes...), and sent me pictures while I was away so I could see how they were doing. Highly recommended, I'll definitely go back to her if I need to board them again.”

“Riven and Matt were great! They were able to take care of my pup, Lula Mae, while I needed to be out of town on short notice. Lu was clearly well cared for and happy with them. Really appreciate it!!”

Sarah B.

“Megan did an outstanding job taking care of our pup. Communication was excellent and she sent a lot of really cute pictures of her while we are away. We felt very comfortable leaving her with Megan and her family!”

David P.

“Ashton was great! Our dog Jack doesn't spend much time with other people and Ashton was very accommodating when our previous sitter (not from rover.com) canceled a week before the appointment. We received pictures and updates throughout the visit, communication was excellent! Thanks again, we look forward to meeting again when the need arises!!”

“My dog stayed for a week - Noy was attentive, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Noy was great with daily pictures and videos and made me feel at ease throughout.”

“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”

“I am so happy to have found Debra to watch our beagle! We left him with her for 3 nights and returned to pick up a very happy and tired dog! Debra has a great approach to caring for dogs and her joy for them shows. Her large backyard and home allows for the dogs to be very comfortable there. I'm excited to use Debra's services in the future!”

“Our sweet 10-year-old pup had a wonderful 5-day stay with Liza right after Christmas. Tamsin can be a little shy, but Liza runs a very dog-friendly house: nap time on the sofa, plenty of play time in her large fenced-in back yard. Tam fit right in. This was Tam's first time staying with Liza. She'll be happy to return!”

Lynn S.

“Emerald was amazing. My Sawyer loved being there, which made me feel so much better knowing that someone will give him a one on one attention, even though she has her own dog. She also made me feel like Sawyer was her own and did everything with Sawyer that her dog does. I would absolutely go back again as long as she would have Sawyer back.”

Wendy B.

“Haley was amazing!! So kind and flexible with communicating and planning with me, and very responsive! I felt very safe leaving my pup with her and her family on a holiday night☺️”

Quinn V.

“Luiz made both us and our dog feel super comfortable. We had the utmost confidence that our dog was in great hands and was well cared for while there! We will definitely use again!”

Alyson H.

“Our dogs had a great week long stay with Michael while we travelled abroad. It was comforting knowing the dogs were safe and being watched over at all times, while also being able to play with other dogs and have some autonomy in the space. I’ll absolutely be bringing my dogs back the next time we go away.”

Mark H.

“Our senior dog has stayed with Yingying twice now and both times he’s come home very happy and well taken care of. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
