Pet Boarding Jamaica Plain

“Ye and family were excellent with my senior dog Jake. They sent me updates every day and catered to Jake’s needs as an older pup (eating habits, meds, frequent potty breaks). Jake also met a few other pup friends on his visit. Would love to have Jake stay again in the future.”

“Thank you again John. Walking dogs in a dense urban setting is not without its challenges. John is so experienced with this and we can head out of town without concern for our dog when he's in John's care.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and energy I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. I naturally connect with animals and have a calm, comforting vibe that even shy or nervous pets respond to. I have experience with puppies, so I know how to handle accidents, training routines, and all that wild puppy energy! I’m also great with senior dogs — I know how to move slow, be gentle, and pay attention to their special needs like meds, shorter walks, or extra care. I’m very observant and reliable, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and videos so you feel 100% secure while you’re away. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to your pet like they’re my best friend (because they are 🐾💛). Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I love being around animals and spending time outdoors. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and give your pet the time, attention, and love they need. I make sure to stick to your pet’s usual schedule to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. For me, pet care doesn’t feel like “work” it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, playtime, and cozy spots to rest. I keep a calm environment with lots of love, gentle attention, and consistent routines just like at home. When I care for pets in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully so the pet’s schedule stays the same feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and any medication. I also take care of small things like cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, and sending cute updates so the owner feels at ease. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I always make the pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own.

“Natalie was great. My dog requires special attention and care and Natalie definitely provided both. Based on the pictures and from when I picked her up, my dog was happy, comfortable, and treated wonderfully. Highly recommend Natalie!”

“My very sweet, energetic and sometimes anxious Ruby had another very happy stay with Michelle. I can tell how much Michelle loves dogs in how thoughtful she is interacting with them. Although I miss Ruby while I'm away, it is so so comforting knowing she is with Michelle, & getting such wonderful attention & care. Thank you, Michelle!!!”

Kerry S.

“Claudia and Joaquin were absolutely wonderful! They were so thoughtful and attentive from the very beginning, even coordinating a meet and greet beforehand so we could all get acquainted. It was clear how genuinely loving and detail-oriented they were with Sushi, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They also sent tons of adorable photos and updates, which I really appreciated! I could tell Sushi was in great hands and being treated like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters!”

“Elliot and Jo are the best! We felt immediately comfortable at our meet and greet and they took the time to make notes about Maple’s schedule as well as her little quirks and things to look out for that set her off. While we were gone we received daily updates with pictures showing off how much fun she was having at the park. Will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town!”

Helen B.

“Lauren did an amazing job caring for my pup, Poppy! Lauren was caring, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the entire process. Poppy felt right at home! Lauren is a great petsitter and provides a really safe, fun, and relaxing home away from home for each pet. Poppy and I are looking forward to her next stay with Lauren!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. My experience includes helping with dog deliveries, caring for dogs at shows, basic training, and looking after cats, rabbits, sugar gliders, and other small pets. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, keeping pets active, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting to each pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also believe in keeping owners informed with regular updates and photos. Your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be my priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m generally available Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, with some flexibility depending on the service. I welcome both regular and occasional bookings and am happy to discuss your pet’s schedule to make sure I can provide the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn about each pet’s personality, habits, health needs, and daily routine before caring for them. I carefully check doors and gates, keep dogs safely leashed outdoors, and never leave pets unattended in an unsecured yard. I follow feeding instructions, respect household rules, and keep their environment clean and comfortable. For pets staying in my home, I provide a calm, welcoming environment with supervised outdoor time. I also make sure pets from different households are a good match before allowing them to interact. Regular photo updates are always part of my care, so you’ll know how your pet is doing.
