“Julie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.”

“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes and I absolutely adore them! No matter what, all pets deserve to have a great and adventure filled day and I’m happy to help when you’re busy or plans change. I will always put your dog first when it comes to safety and enjoyment having been trained and years of taking care of our own family dog. My number one priority is to make sure your pup is happy and safe! I love to play, excercise, walk or just hand with them whatever their needs may be. I am WFH with a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your babies whether for a walk or to pet sit. They will get all the care required anytime they are in my supervision which includes lots of fun and activities! I have a designated dog patio in my building along with a very secured home. I also have the space for a crate if that is desired for pet owners. I’m also in the heart of Boston and can take them on many walks to and from the Boston Common

“Tyler was great! He was very communicative and sent pictures every day throughout boarding. He answered every question I had promptly about my dog's first boarding experience. He started things off with a really great meet and greet to walk through his and his wife's process, where they walk the dogs, and everything they do to help the dogs feel welcome and get along with each other. We're excited to board her there again in the future!”

I can't recommend Claudia and Joaquin enough! They took wonderful care of Daisy and were so accommodating from start to finish. Everything from the initial meet-and-greet to the final pick-up was completely effortless. They kept me in the loop with adorable photo updates, and seeing Daisy looking so relaxed gave me complete peace of mind.
