Pet Boarding Brookline

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, they were always a part of my life, and caring for them came naturally. Both of my parents shared that same love for animals, so I was raised in a home where pets were treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. That love has stayed with me into adulthood. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. My home has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore, and there's always plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing—whatever makes them feel most at home. When your pet stays with me, they won't just be looked after—they'll be welcomed into a home where they're treated with the same love, care, and respect I'd want for my own pets. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care, whether that's going for walks, playing in the yard, sticking to their normal routine, or simply giving them the attention and companionship they deserve. I enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and right at home while their family is away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under my supervision. I never leave pets outside unattended, and I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of love and attention.

About: I've owned and cared for animals since high school. In addition to dogs and cats, I've owned horses since I was 16. I have been\am a foster parent for the Animal Rescue League of Boston since 2020. I'm a former puppy foster for service dogs and participated with early puppy training. I have carried those skills over to training other foster puppies and my personal dog. I have a medical background (EMT) and my daughter is a Vet Tech so I am very comfortable working with animals with medical needs and will follow any required medical plan. In addition to dogs and cats, I'd love to meet\care for your backyard farm animals; horses, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, etc. I have experience with some of these animals through ownership and fostering opportunities. I'm open to meeting and learning about new friends. We currently have 4 dogs, 4 cats, and 2 horses in our home. All our animals are our babies and I'll care for yours as if they were my own. I'm currently unemployed so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available for petsitting any day of the week and can work around any personal appointments. Boarding in my home is restricted to cats or other small animals. Puppies (under 1 year) may be accomodated, no adult dogs. For cats; we have a dedicated "cat room" to keep your pet separated from our pets. The room has a screen door so they don't feel locked away and can be part of our household while remaining safe. I will follow your pet care plan while in your home. For Puppies; all dogs are fed separately to avoid food aggression situations. All puppies will be crated for meals and sleeping overnight. If your puppy is not crate trained, I will work with them to ensure they are comfortable and not afraid. I can support your potty training schedule to maintain consistency.

About: I grow up having dogs and cats. They slept in bed with me and my sister. I am kind, responsible and will take great care of you best friend. I have a Chorkie a mix of Yorkshire and chihuahua . Her name is Suzy. She s about 8 pounds. She is my princess and she is an amazing, caring and lovable dog. I am currently working full-time at home. So I will have time to play with your pups! Feed and walk. I am available for boarding some weekends, and weekdays. From 8-5. I don’t have a fence yard. I will always have to leash your dog for walks. I have Suzy that loves to play but I will set times because they never know when to stop. I can also create if necessary and if you require.

“Andrea is the best! She sends tons of pictures of our fur babies while we’re gone and gives them phenomenal care! Very appreciative of all she does.”

“My dog had a wonderful time with Mariia. She was very caring with him and also would send plenty of updates on his wellbeing. Would definitely book again with her!”

“François is an absolutely amazing individual with dogs. He has a really big yard, a patio and the woods nearby which kept my pupper happy. More so than that - this was the second time I’ve boarded him with François, and around this time my dog was too eager to go with him. He’ll emotionally invest into your dog, ask important questions and your dog will have fun! 10/10 recommend, and will come back.”

“We had a long talk with Hope when we returned home. She said that she had a wonderful time with Laura and family and even had her usual opportunity to 'snuggle'. It was comforting to know that there is a home near ours where we can be comfortable leaving Hope, knowing that she will be loved and cared for. I expect that we will be asking Laura to care for Hope in the future”

Paul B.

“Nancy was so great. She took care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was in touch with us and keeping us updated on daily bases and provided lovely pics for our cat. Our cat looked very comfortable and happy. It was a peace of mind having Nancy taking care of our Pet. Will do it again as needed.”

“Really the best care for your animal when when you can’t be there. We have used Christine 2 times and will def use again. Her and her family are wonderful and take care of our dog as it is there own! Highly recommend!!”

Scott B.

“It was our first time leaving our 1yo puppy with a new family. He spent 4 nights with her and had a great time. Nicole was very kind, very understanding of his special needs and treated him to a great adventure on a beach. Could not have asked for a better family to leave our doggie. Thank you Nicole!”

Anna S.

“Our minidoodle Sam had a great stay with Charlotte and Jordan, and their dog Kyber. Two things we especially like: They generally just take one dog at a time (more attention, and Sam loves attention!), and they live near some great walking trails. Very nice people.”

David G.

“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”

John P.

“Our dog was in great hands for 4 days over the July 4th holiday weekend! Vanessa was very easy and flexible on drop off and pick up and sent plenty of pictures throughout the boarding time! Beautiful home and neighborhood for all dogs!”

Chris B.

“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”

Seth C.

“I can’t recommend Abby more! She was so accommodating and welcoming to our dog. She always kept us in the loop and was sending pictures of all the fun he was having. I’m so happy we have found someone that we truly feel comfortable leaving our dog with. Again, she is so so so amazing and I can’t recommend her enough!”

Allison G.

“Riley's stay with Kate was just what we needed! She is wonderful and warm. It was Riley's first time with a dog sitter. Needless to say, I was nervous about leaving him. Kate made this very easy for us. She was the best decision for Riley and us. Riley loves her. In fact, he did not want to leave her when I picked him up a week later. We were free of worries the entire time she took care of him. Her check-ins and responses to our inquiries were wonderful too! She is the perfect dog sitter for us. I highly recommend Kate. Thank you Kate!”

Winn F.

“Lucille hosted Kona for a week while we were away and it went wonderfully! We received daily updates and pictures of Kona so we could always see and know what she was up to. Lucille kept Kona busy with daily walks and fetch which are Kona’s favorites! We really appreciated Lucille’s attention to detail with wanting to know and follow Kona’s usual routines to help her feel comfortable. Kona has some medical needs which always makes leaving her with a sitter a bit anxiety provoking but Lucille made us feel at ease with her communication around medications as well. We very much appreciate Lucille’s care for Kona and already have a few more upcoming stays booked with her! Kona has found a new friend for sure!”

Ashley W.

“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
