“Kendra was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I knew Scout would be well cared for and would also have a fun furry companion to play with. Kendra is very attentive to details, warm, welcoming to cuddle a sometimes shy dog and my pup enjoyed lots of exercise and play. Thank you Kendra!”


“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”


“Shea and Damien were absolutely amazing and very accommodating when flight times changed. They kept me updated daily with pictures. Layla didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up! She felt at home there, lounging on their couch and in their bed. Best dog sitters ever! I will most definitely be rebooking with them!! Thank you!”


“Hugo and Julia were very nice and super flexible. Communication was a breeze and we really liked all the photo updates. Rudy was well taken care off and came home very happy. 😊”


“I can’t say enough good things about Chelsea K! She took amazing care of my dog, Dexter, and went above and beyond in every way. Her home was spotless and provided such a clean, comfortable environment that immediately put me at ease. Chelsea’s attention to detail was incredible—she followed all of Dexter’s routines perfectly and made sure he felt right at home. What really stood out to me was her patience and genuine care. Dexter can be a little shy at first, but Chelsea took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own in a clean, welcoming space, Chelsea is the one to book!”



“I had to leave my GSD, Sam, for almost two weeks while I went to the West Coast. This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little worried, since he's huge and very attached to me! But it turns out I had nothing to be concerned about: Mel and her family were absolutely wonderful with him. She sent me lots of updates and pictures, and he did very well while he was there. He loves to follow his human alpha around, and she let him shadow her, and even let him come along with her when she was doing things! I would definitely recommend her for your dog.”


“We can’t say enough good things about Erica! Erica has done drop in visits, day care, and boarding for Dixie. She is prompt, communicates well and is extremely professional. Most importantly, Dixie loves her!! I highly recommend Erica and will most definitely continue to work with her in the future!”


“My pup just came back from her first time boarding at Shayna's and all went very well. We had done a meet and greet previously just to be sure that all the doggies got along, and they seemed to do great together during this overnight. I was happy to hear about lots of activity time between walks as well as group play in a nice shady backyard. Both my pup and I looking forward to having her stay again at Shayna's soon!”


“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care my dog received while I was away! Lingwen was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their hands. She was so professional, friendly, and attentive, taking the time to learn my dog’s routine and preferences. During the time I was away, Lingwen kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in great hands. My dog was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for their pets!”


“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous to leave Titan with someone new. But Peter put my mind at ease right away. He took such great care of Titan, sending me daily pictures and videos with updates that made me smile. It turns out I was nervous for nothing — Titan was happy, comfortable, and clearly enjoyed his time with Peter. I’m so grateful for the care and attention he gave, and I would absolutely book with him again!”


“Swetha was fantastic! She made both me and Arthur (my dog) very comfortable in knowing that he would be well cared for while I was away, and he had a great time while there. Swetha was great about updating me with texts and pictures multiple times per day which put me at ease knowing Arthur was having a great time. I will definitely be reaching out to Swetha again in the future!”


“What a great stay! Rosie absolutely loved it! We were updated daily with photos of Rosie (our pup) having the time of her life in their big yard with their wonderful family. Would absolutely recommend and we plan on using their services again!”


“Matt is absolutely amazing. He really took care of my dog during the 40 days we were away. He sent pics and videos daily and he's really responsive to questions and requests. My dog had a good time with Matt. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone who needs boarding service.”


“Maryjane and Craig were wonderful hosts for our little girl. Great communication, friendly and easy to talk to, clearly they both have a love for animals. We also received baby updates and photos of our girl and she was very happy at their home! We've already booked a repeat stay!”


About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have two 20 lb dogs and two cats, all of whom are "forever pets" in my home. I have had dogs of all sizes, my largest guy was a Great Dane of about 190 lbs. Every dog is welcome, with me. I raised my children in my current home, who are grown and moved on. I've lived in this house for over 30 years. I'm currently retired and home most of the time. My little guys are so spoiled now that I'm here all day! They go out as frequently as they like. I walk them at least a mile every day for their health (as well as mine!) and well being. We play as often as they like. Honestly, they are the most important things in my life right now. I live in a private, secure, one-family home in West Boylston. I've lived in the same house for 33 years. I have a veterinarian in the family, and therefore have 24 hour access to vet advice. I walk my own dogs daily, at least a mile. I am a college graduate. I am a retired professional (I was Director of my company for 20 years). I am a Notary Public. Animals, both dogs and cats, are my highest priority!

“Andreana was a very great dog sitter. She is very responsive and accommodating. I was very anxious about leaving Joi with a dog sitter for the first time, and I received numerous updates throughout the whole trip. Joi always looked extremely happy and it settled my worries quickly. I got Joi back just the way I left her and was very happy with the whole experience. Looking forward to using her for some doggy day care, and if needed more boarding in the future.”


“Kathy was great through out my dogs stay. Very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up. She sent a lot of pictures and regular check points. Overall very happy with kathy and would definitely recommend.”
