Doggy Day Care in Duxbury

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 I am currently home full time so have all the time in the world to spend with the animals. In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

About: What sets me apart is the love and care I give every pet. I treat animals like family and understand how important it is to know your furbaby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I had three furbabies of my own who were truly like my children, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, affection, patience, and care so they feel comfortable and cared for at all times. I work full time from home, so furbabies will receive constant attention, companionship, supervision, and love throughout the day. I understand the level of responsibility it takes to take for your loved ones. I provide loving, attentive care in a spacious home with a large backyard. No children or pets means your furbaby or furbabies receives my full attention.

About: I have pet-sat for friends and neighbors for several years. I’m comfortable with walks, feedings, and making sure each pet gets plenty of love and playtime. I focus on keeping pets happy and comfortable while maintaining their normal routines. I am currently home during the day with a flexible schedule. I love getting out for fresh air and exercise. I only care for one pet family at a time so I am a perfect option for dogs that don’t get along well with other dogs or prefer to be the main attraction. Getting the opportunity to walk, play and meet your fur babies needs would brighten my day! Safety is my top priority. With your dog being my only guest I can give ensure they get personalized attention. I never leave dogs unattended outside or off-leash in unfenced areas. I am familiar with dog body language and know how to handle dogs of all sizes safely.

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.

“Our little guy can be a bit cautious of new people, and he can be pretty reactive to the outside world. But he quickly felt at home and comfortable with Heather. It was great to find someone who he came to trust quickly, and who was very conscientious of his potential challenges.”

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I prefer to host pets who know basic commands and can respect my dog and home.

About: I’ve had dogs in my home for the past 21 years, namely an array of bully breeds both large and small. When I moved abroad in 2023, my English bulldog moved in with my family and I’ve been eager to welcome all of my friends’ dogs into my life and home ever since. I’m often dog-sitting for friends across New England and thought now is as good of a time as any to offer the same support to others! I’m a full-time remote employee with a spacious apartment that happens to have an enclosed deck and located across the street from a sprawling park with dedicated dog areas! I’m a typical millennial woman who is always willing to lend my time and space to some sweet pups. My apartment is dog friendly i.e., they’re welcome in all rooms, on the furniture, and to enjoy the fenced in deck on nice days. I love long walks and therefore long walk companions and maintain a quiet and calm home life.

About: I have taken care of and have had my own pets for over 30 years. I have a fenced in backyard, along with trails in a wooded area on my property that make it a great adventure for all pets. I work part-time taking care of animals and I'm always available to give your animals the attention they deserve. I am available most days and for overnight care. I would like to especially focus on families with friendly, small breeds that are looking for a safe place to shelter their pet. I have two friendly pugs that make a great social environment for your dogs. There are many gates/doors in the home that can be used to separate and make sure all dogs feel safe when needed.

“Jackie was great with Quincy! She was communicative, attentive to his needs, and followed all of our instructions. Would definitely have her care for him again!”
