Dog Boarding Boston

“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”

“Jackie made it possible to leave on a 2 week vacation. All 3 of our dogs were well taken care of. Jackie did everything we asked. We will definitely ask Jackie to take care of our family again. Thank you”

“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Mindy was so kind and flexible regarding drop off and pick up. Isabella really loved hanging with Mindy. And even made a new friend with the kitty. Isabella also loved running around in the nice yard”

“Leah took such a great care of our Jack and stayed in communication. She welcomed our pup into her family and we look forward to her caring for Jack again.”

MADELINE C.

“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”

Brenda G.

“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”

Kim M.

“Robert was awesome!! I felt very assured that Harlem was well cared for while we were on vacation. He seems to genuinely care for animals. Highly recommend!!”

“Julie and Noah were fantastic watching my little pup! She was taken care of and I received plenty of photo updates from them. Highly recommend!”

Emily N.

“Georgia and her husband were amazing! They treated Olivia like a member of their family. They sent daily photos, worked on training, went for multiple walks, and played with her all the time. I will certainly use Georgia next time I need to leave my puppy at home! Thanks so much!! 🐶❤️”

“Courtney’s provided the best stay for Amaya, our standard poodle. She was flexible about drop off time and pick up time as we were traveling from out of state to the Falls and coordinating with two other families. She treated Amaya like one of her own. We appreciated the photos and videos and attention she gave our girl. I don’t think Amaya missed us!”

About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. ​I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“Jessica was amazing with caring for our Bailey! She is kind, reliable and a true dog lover. She follows all care instructions and keeps in communication with pictures and updates. We would book with her again without reservation.”

“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”

“Thanks for accommodating Rocky! Ethan took great care of him. He sent pictures without being asked, and made sure Rocky was fed and given his meds on time.”

“Alexis did a great job with our two german shepherd dogs. She kept in touch and sent us photos. She even sent us a photo of our shy dog snuggling with her daughter, something I would have never expected our dog to do!”

Emily P.

“I felt very comfortable leaving our boy with Racheal. Our dog is a bit anxious but settled in quickly with her fur babies. She communicated with us throughout the week and sent us a ton of pictures. I definitely recommend her.”
