Doggy Day Care in Marshfield Hills

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog and taking any chance I could to babysit and care for friends’ and neighbors’ pups. As soon as I graduated college, I welcomed my first dog—a golden retriever—into my life and made his care a top priority while balancing work and everyday life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, mischievous 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 our home quickly became known as “the dog house.” I regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends, and I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, attention, and lots of love. 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.

“Gracie had a great day with Matthew & Jennifer! They took her on many walks and she got along great with their dog. Matthew and Jennifer also sent a lot of photos throughout the day. Thank you for taking such great care of Gracie girl!”

“Shannon, thank you so much for your love and care for Archie today!! The pictures were amazing. He’s going to be tired after all the walks and play, and we are so thankful for that!”

“Trish was amazing with my Nami! I am an extremely anxious dog owner and she ensured that both Nami and I had a great first experience. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and Nami didn’t want to leave when I went to pick her up because she had SO much fun! Highly recommend!”

I stay at home and will be available all day to supervise care for your dog(s). My three teenage kids will help provide care and are very responsible, loving, and diligent caretakers.

We would be happy to keep you updated with pictures of your pet during his/her stay. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I currently stay at home and am available to care for your dog for most of the day. My husband also works from home quite a bit and helps as well. We have a large back yard but also love taking the dogs on walks through the nearby trails in the woods. Both my husband an I walk every day so there is plenty of opportunity for your dog to get out.

“Thank you so much Rose for taking care of Diddy and Flubby! They had a great time and came home ready for bed. Fantastic stay! I’ll be in touch soon with more dates!”

“Caroline communicates clearly and promptly. The scheduling was easy and she sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. Drop off and pick up were timely. My puppy has stayed with her twice and has seemed happy when I’ve picked her up. She has her own dog Willow at home as well- a plus for dogs wanting to play with other dogs.”

About: Hi! I’m Ben, a genuine dog lover that goes above and beyond for all pets under my care. I’ve been called a “dog whisperer” by more than a few people because I naturally connect with dogs on a deep level, especially those who may be hesitant, skittish, or shy around others. Time and time again, those dogs seem to gravitate toward me, and earning their trust is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I value patience and consistency for these adorable, loving creatures and truly see them as members of the family, not just pets. I take my responsibility seriously and always research the ins and outs of every breed before pet sitting so I can provide thoughtful, customized care tailored to each dog’s specific needs and personality. I love meeting dogs at their energy level, whether that means lots of playtime, long walks, games, and exercise, or ensuring structured rest and calm downtime when that’s what they need most. I’m happy to learn about your training goals and reinforce behavior using positive reinforcement strategies so your dog feels supported, safe, and understood. I’ve worked with all types of dogs and a wide range of challenges, including food aggression, excessive barking, and very cautious or shy temperaments. I truly love all dogs and meet them where they are, with patience, empathy, and consistency. I also welcome any and all instructions you’d like to share. No list is too long when it comes to your valued family member, and I take pride in following routines closely so your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to offer exceptional flexibility in scheduling that accommodates a variety of schedules and allows me the availability to best support you and your pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is ensuring comfort, consistency, and a stress-free experience. If your pet stays in my home, they’ll enjoy a fenced-in yard and plenty of fresh air, plus we live just blocks from the beach, perfect for dogs who love seaside walks and playtime. We also have a very friendly French bulldog who loves other dogs and provides great companionship, especially for shy or anxious pups who benefit from having a buddy. I’m always mindful that some dogs may feel out of their comfort zone at first, and I take great care to help them settle in gently. Many dogs who have stayed with us have quickly warmed up to our cozy home and routine. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m dedicated to keeping them on their normal routine to provide familiarity and reduce stress. I treat every home with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness, organization, and care as if it were my own. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, I carefully review and follow all instructions to ensure consistency, comfort, and safety while you’re away. I also believe strongly in keeping you connected, so I send frequent photos and videos because I know how much it means to see your pet happy when you’re apart, even if it’s just for a few hours.

“Eileen was perfect! She took in my dog Blue for the day at the last minute, was very responsive to messages on the app and texts, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day. Blue came home as happy as can be and will be sleeping for the next few days I'm sure. Will definitely be using Eileen in the future, highly recommend!”

“Our little Rosey had an absolute blast with Zach! She was completely tuckered out when we pick her up. Zach sent several photos to keep us updated on her visit. He played with Rosey inside/outside and taking a walk by the water. What a great day Rosey had. We will definitely be using Zach again”

“Murphy spent two days with Roxanne for doggy day care when we needed to be at work. She played with him in her nice backyard, and kept him engaged while also helping him relax in a new place. On his second time seeing her, he whined at her door and excitedly ran to see her. It’s clear she enjoys his company, and he also enjoys spending time with her. We will definitely consider booking her for any future needs.”

Stephanie M.

“Kristen and Timothy were amazing! They were super accommodating with a short-notice request and we were able to meet ahead of time to make introductions. Kristen gave our puppy a wonderful fun day, and she passed out all night and definitely had a blast! I highly recommend them!”

“Michaela was great with Buster, he got to play with other dogs and she took him out to play a bunch and gave great updates! She even watched our snail for the day. We already booked Michaela for next week!”

About: Hi! My name is Abby and I am 35 years old. I work from home Monday-Friday 7:00am-3:00pm. I have been watching pets since I was a kid! My uncle next door had a dog who had 3 litters of golden retriever mixes. I helped him raise and take care of them. In college, I was a nanny for a family with a lab and black cat. When they were out of town I took care of their pets. I nannied for a second family a few years later and babysat their golden retriever, bunny, and 2 persian cats when they would go on vacation as well. At times I would also babysit my sister’s chihuahua mix overnight. I had two cats for about 10 years.I also own two sugar gliders. I have a miniature pincher mix, she is the friendliest dog and gets along with any dog or person. Couch potato all day kind of dog but loves to go play with other dogs at the dog park. Pets and children are my specialty. I love all animals even if I am allergic to most of them :). I work from home mon-fri 7am-3pm. My dog gets me out of the house and if she has a friend to walk with or visit, it would be a fun playdate for her as well! I have given meds to both my cats since they are seniors. My sister’s dog had pills she had to take as well, which i would do when i babysat her. I am pretty easy going with what i need to do for who ever asks me to watch their pets because I care about what they need. I am the girl at a friends house playing with their cat and dog most of the time.

“We dropped our 9 week old golden with Theresa for a week of daycare and couldn’t have been happier! Our puppy very quickly became excited to get dropped off and could tell he got all the attention and affection he needed there! Will definitely use Theresa again when needed and recommend to anyone that needs a good place for their pup!”
