Pet Boarding Fitchburg

“Sydney was a fantastic sitter for Mack. She took great care of him and sent updates every day. I could not recommend Sydney enough.”

“Our 4 month old Luna stayed at Ballby's house for the weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the service. The hosts was willing to pick Luna up from daycare on Friday evening, they were very gracious about the "accidents" that our pup had on her first night, and we received photo updates throughout the weekend. Luna had so much fun playing with Ballby that she came home Sunday and passed out until the next morning. We will definitely recommend this host.”

“Taylor did a great job making sure Madigan was comfortable and adjusted. Madigan enjoyed her stay and the care she received. The only unknown was how Madigan would tolerate the cats and some dogs since her diagnosis of advanced heart disease. She did okay sometimes and sometimes not. It probably fluctuates with how she's feeling in the moment. There were no major issues. I highly recommend Taylor as an option for your pet!”

“Helen took excellent care of Cooper! She stuck to his feeding and medication schedule and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely trust her again! Great experience.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.

“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”

“Brenda and Joey are amazing. They love our monster like he is their own. We always feel so confident they he is having a vacation same as we are when he is in their hands. Thank you for all you do!”

Laura P.

“Christine is BEYOND amazing! This was the first time leaving my big boy for a week while I went on vacation, so I was extremely anxious about it. Christine immediately put those fears to rest!! The amount of pictures and updates I received was incredible!! Shadow had plenty of friends to play with and was frequently out on walks or at the dog park. I spoil my baby way too much, but Christine treated Shadow like he was her own!! I know now when I go on vacation that I have someone I can count on to truly care for my baby!!!”

“Eric and Rachel were very good at communicating and sending pics. They took really good care of Ollie! I had some trouble finding their place, but Rachel was great at giving me directions and even flagging me down, which was helpful!”

Angi K.

“Lorelei was amazing! Nice, large backyard to run and play and I loved that other dogs were there for my dog to play and socialize with. I received pictures and a video of her stay. She answered all my questions and made me feel totally at ease with leaving my pup there. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

Kimberly M.

“Alliyah took good care of Polo. Polo also got a nice walk while he was there.”

Akshay A.

“Jackie was great with Daisy and so was Penny. Very helpful and accommodating dog sitter”

Aimee C.

“Brie made our big fluffy pup Luna feel right at home during a last minute request. Drop off and pick up went without a hitch, and Luna seemed rested and well-cares for when we picked her up. Brie also gave good updates day-to-day. Thanks, Brie!”

Benjamin M.

“Cynthia was fantastic boarding my senior rescue! I received regular updates on her daily activities, along with photoshoot-worthy pictures. Cynthia asked great caretaking questions beforehand and as things came up. My pup was in great hands and looks forward to her next stay!”

Clay G.

“My dog (11 months) has been boarded before. He has never had a problem, but when he came home, he had pent up energy and regressed in training. However, with Shelly he did not regress at all. He was very happy to see me, but he also seemed to say goodbye to her in the way he interacted which made me feel like he really enjoyed his stay with her more than other times he’s been watched by others. I would use Shelly again.”

Katherine M.

“It was an absolute delight to work with Annie! She provided exceptional care for Cinnamon and kept me updated with regular pictures and messages. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again anytime.”

Taariq E.

“Hannah was great! She communicated with me frequently letting me know my dog was in good hands. Also I am home now with quite the tired pup. Highly recommend!”

Courtney R.

“Ben watched our dog, George, while we were out of town for a few days. He send plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay. George had fun with Ben’s dogs. We came back to a very happy and tired dog. Thanks again!”

Stefan V.

“Meaghan and her husband are very kind people with a beautiful home and a large fenced-in backyard. Meaghan was very good about sending a lot of pictures and updates throughout our dog’s stay and we felt very comfortable having our dog stay in their home. They have a very sweet dog of their own that my dog quickly bonded with, and they were playful together. Highly recommend!”

Lesley S.

“From the beginning, Marlene was extremely flexible in coordinating Freya’s stay. Throughout Freya’s stay, I received consistent updates and pictures, which made me smile each time I saw them. I could tell, both from the pictures and from Freya’s great mood when I arrived for pick up, that she had fun and felt comfortable with Marlene. I was thrilled with Marlene’s services, and I would trust Freya with her any time. I highly recommend Marlene to anyone!!”
