Dog Boarding in East Boston

“Zwany and Leandro are a first class team, focused on safety and communication. Our Havanese, Celia, enjoyed her visit so much she wanted to extend her stay to spend more time with her new friends. I highly recommend their services - they made us both feel very welcome and cared for.”

Jeanne C.

“Ellis had a short stay with Emily and Daniel but will definitely be back! They sent great pics and updates and were flexible when our plans shifted slightly. Their dog seemed super sweet too and it looks like the pups got along well!”

Ileza C.

“Rachel could not have been nicer! Our dog had the best time going on long walks and playing with Rachel's dog. She was great about sending daily photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Rachel. She is wonderful!!”

“Ivis was a wonderful sitter. She was happy to come pick Hugo up and drop him off and was very flexible with her times and communicative about when she would be arriving. One Hugo was with her we got regular updates and a Hugo had a great time. Highly recommended!”

Peter B.

“excellent dog sitter! Flexible and patient with my schedule and Dog needs. I didn't have to worry at all. My dog had a blast at the dog park and going for various walks and making friends. Responsive, kind, considerate, responsible, caring, highly recommend.”

Daniel M.

“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”

“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”

“Linda was super nice with Aloe. She kept us up to date with how she was doing. We know Aloe sometimes can be too much, but we were impressed how Linda was able to become her friend in such a short time. Aloe was in great hands I would strongly recommend Linda and will don't think twice in asking her again to take care of our little one. 10/10”

Daniel G.

“Victoria was super reliable and communicated promptly. Our senior dog got top-notch care, including medication. The daily update photos were a lovely touch, highlighting her dedication to our pet's well-being. Excited to book another stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Kam C.

“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”

Nicole B.

“My dog had a great time at Zarah’s! She sent so many updates and it was so nice to know he was being so well taken care of while I was out of town!”

Emily C.

“Kerrin and Chris were amazing with our dog Lizzie—she had an absolute blast staying with them. They sent daily pictures, which gave us total peace of mind, and it was clear she was being cared for like part of their own family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Colleen Crane C.

“Svetlana was able to take Ghost very last minute and was amazing. We are in the middle of moving and apparently Ghost has been more emotionally affected than we realized and was very nervous/anxiouswhen I left him with her. He always has some level of separation anxiety but was really acting out this time. She was very understanding in handling it and kept me fully informed throughout his stay and his behavior. I am thankful to her for looking after him and being so caring in his time of need.”

Barbara F.

“Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!”

Morgan O.

“Jing was an amazing sitter for my elderly dog, Tela! She was available last minute for a few days and took such good care of her. She sent many pictures and videos updating me about Tela’s stay so that I had no concerns or worries. She also would update me after providing Tela’s medication to her. Tela was in great spirits when I went to pick her up - and she can be very picky about where she stays. I would definitely recommend Jing!!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”
