Dog Boarding Bay

“Sandra took great care of my Raven. She sent pictures and had great communication. Raven had a great time in her home. I love that she takes just one dog at a time and has a great yard. She treated Raven as her own. Would definitely book again!”

About: Raised on a farm and a dog mom for 17 years, I’ve had animals at the center of my life since childhood. Caring for animals of all kinds is truly in my roots. I spent 13 years as a devoted dog mom to my late dachshund, Boston, and I now have a big, friendly rescue who has been by my side for 4 years. She’s a beautiful mix of Blue Tick Coonhound, American Foxhound, Lab, Bully, German Shepherd, and who knows what else, or as I like to call her, my Supermutt 🩷 Over the years, I’ve rescued dogs, cats, and other animals off the streets, and I’m constantly learning about animal health, behavior, and care so I’m prepared for any pet friend who comes into my home. Special skills: •Senior care: I’ve cared for two dogs into their senior years: my dachshund, Boston, and our family’s extra-large bully breed. I’m comfortable with older dogs, including slower walks, extra comfort, and medication schedules. I’m also comfortable administering injections if needed. •Anxious dogs and puppies: Boston was a very anxious pup, so I know how to help nervous dogs feel safe. I also have experience with puppies. •Training: I taught both of my dogs their basic commands, I’m currently taking a dog training course, and I plan to complete a pet CPR certification. •Dog-friendly home: My own dog is playful, loves to chill, and happily goes along with whatever her fur friends want. Availability: I’m available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings, and I can board low-maintenance dogs during the week since I work full time in an office Monday through Friday but I do take my own dog out in the mornings and again midday. My calendar on Rover will show is open Friday through Sunday and on holidays, but if you’re interested in weekday boarding, I’m happy to discuss it further. Friends, family, and neighbors have always turned to me when they need someone they can truly trust with their pets. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m present and engaged during my time at home, so your pet won’t just be waiting around they’ll be played with, walked, and genuinely cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have a partially fenced yard and a secure ground-anchored long lead for supervised outdoor time, so dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. I also live right next to a large park with trails, making it easy to get in enriching walks and outdoor adventures. My own dog Khaleesi is friendly and social with other dogs, so boarded pets will have a welcoming companion. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own, your pet will feel right at home.

“Daniel was great with the dogs, kept me informed the whole time with pictures, and is a very nice person in general. Will be boarding with him again !!”

“Karen truly went above and beyond in caring for Louie while I was away. Her thoughtful gestures, like sending frequent pictures, not only showed her dedication but also provided me with peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to know that she treated Louie with such love and attention, making sure he felt safe and happy in my absence. Her kindness speaks volumes about her character and how much she genuinely cares for both human and furry!”

About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed. I have had pets of all kinds growing up and have a passion for caring for dogs, cats and small animals such as guinea pigs. I currently work full remote and have flexibility to add in drop ins during the work day. I also have availability during weekends if you’re taking a trip, for multiple drop ins a day as needed. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.

“My dog was very well take care by Aishea. He was happy staying there. She was very responsive and sent me daily check ins. I will definitely recommend her.”

“Lissette took amazing care of my two puppies I know an 11 month old and 3 month old German shepherd are a lot to handle but she did an amazing job! Both puppies did not want to leave her house. I will definitely be booking with Lissette again anytime o travel for work!”

Nina R.

“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”

“Sarah was quick to respond to my request, and was willing to work with me regarding drop off and pick up times. I really appreciated her taking time for both my senior pup and I to feel comfortable before I left. My girl was happy when I picked her up, and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Sarah!”

Pam K.

“Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!”

Alisa B.

“Rachel and her family took great care of my Peyton. She Peyton was clean happy when I picked her up. I will definitely trust Rachel again with the care of my dog.”

Patricia F.

“Thankful for both Elliot and Mindy. They are easy to communicate with, they send daily pics and have been extremely understanding and flexible when we’ve needed to make last minute booking modifications. We will definitely book with them again.”

About: I have taken care of multiple animals, from dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and even birds! I have always loved animals, there is nothing better than loving on an animal. I had fish and hamsters growing up. I have taken care of so many cats for multiple people and walked a ton of dogs for neighbors. I am so comfortable with giving animals medicine, even when they are not thrilled about it. I would love to love on your animals while you are away, have fun with them and make you and your pets feel secure while you are away from each other! I work full time at Baystate Medical Center. Full time for Baystate is only 3 days out of the week so I can be with your pet most of the time, I do work overnight, so I can take, let’s say your dog, out for a walk and feed them and all that good stuff before I work and be back first thing in the morning for when they wake up! Whatever you and your pet is comfortable with I can do. The last thing I would want is for you or them to feel uneasy or uncomfortable so whatever routine they are used to and like is exactly what I will do!

“Josie is awesome! She is caring and the communication is straightforward and easy. My two dogs had a great time staying with her. Will definitely be back!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and genuinely love being around animals. I currently have two golden retrievers and a cat of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience watching both dogs and cats for others and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family — honestly, I like animals more than humans. I work full time, but I’m only a couple minutes from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to come home during the day when needed and can also work remotely at times, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and two friendly dogs to help keep your fur baby company if they enjoy socializing. I can easily crate your dog if needed and am comfortable caring for animals of all breeds and sizes. Pets are welcome on the furniture and bed because we believe they deserve to feel at home and loved while you’re away. My husband and I both have so much love to give, and we’re always happy to provide cuddles, attention, and companionship if your pet enjoys affection.

“Ali was very nice and was good about communicating. Minnie seemed to be in very good spirits when I picked her up. He shared photos of her daily during her stay. Minnie will be looking forward to going there again, I’m sure.”
