Doggy Day Care in Marshfield Hills

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, 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 regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! 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.

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds and fish. I have experience taking care of my own animals and my sisters dogs when needed. Ive handled health conditions, tank maintenance and im good with managing feeding and care schedules and keeping animals calm in different places. Im patient, observant, calm and I take pet safety very seriously and prioritize keeping pets comfortable. Im currently available and flexible and will respond quickly! Im currently unemployed so I have A LOT of free time on my hands and would love to take care of your pets! I love dogs and it breaks my heart not being able to have one live with me so I would love to babysit your furry friends instead Im in an apartment with 2 cats and fish! Im not allowed to have a dog but I can have dogs visit and love when my siblings dogs come to visit for the weekend occasionally! There’s woods next to my apartment and two grass spots in my complex perfect for dogs ! My cats are older, have no problem with dogs but are unsure about cats so I would keep them separate. I don’t have a car right now but will always use uber in case of emergency or to go to a pet owners home to watch there pets!

“Thank you! Our Gunnar is so happy (and tired)!”

About: We have a large, very clean, and safe home with a big backyard. There are plenty of trails and sidewalks for walking around our house as well as a variety of parks nearby we can visit. 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. Our own 2 small (4 lb) chihuahuas, Mocha & Lacey, are used to having other dogs around. When your dog(s) stay with us, you can be sure that they will be well loved, safe, and welcomed into the family as one of our own! 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.

About: I grew up on a small farm and have always loved creatures great and small. I have always had pets and have been a caregiver for friend’s dogs for years. I am now home full time and welcome the opportunity to slather love on more critters 🩷 I am currently home full time so have all the time in the world to spend with the animals. In warm weather I can leave the back door open allowing dogs to come in and out as the please. I have a fenced yard and a sweet 6 year old plott hound (Mojo), many fish, an axolotl (Buggie), and a hamster (Donut). My husband and I have two boys aged 10 and 12 who love animals as much as I do.

“Trish was an absolute delight! She was incredibly warm and caring and clearly gave our pup a lot of love and attention. We appreciated her communication and photos throughout the day. We’re looking forward to working with her next time we’re in the area!”

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.

“Bonnie, our Black Lab, had a great first visit. The big backyard was perfect. Bonnie got to do a lot of running with Eileen's dogs. We were late picking up Bonnie and Eileen was very accommodating. Mike”

I am a frequent traveler and I know how stressful it can be trying to find appropriate lodging your pup! Your dog would be treated like my own, with plenty of playtime and affection. I have had many dogs and I wound make sure that your dog is comfortable and happy. My dogs are regularly are let outside and I also walk twice daily. I have dog training experience, and have studied Dog behavior. I will take elderly dogs as well as young puppies. I am available throughout the day as I work from home and we could work together to make the experience exactly what you are wanting for your pet. I work from home so I am available to let your pet out as needed. Sleeping area can be a crate or just off fenced off part of my home, whatever works for your furry friend. I lead with exercise and affection. I realize it is a transition for your dog to be in my home and my experience as a trainer helps make that time more comfortable. My dogs are both excellent with other dogs and can give some support to your pet.

“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!”

About: I am a Licensed/Certified Boarder. I have passed inspections and carry a special permit per Massachusetts Law. My home has been thoroughly inspected both inside and outside by the Town Animal Control officer to ensure your pets are safe and secure when in my care :) I have been a big animal lover my whole life and being able to take care of and play with different animals is so much fun and makes my heart feel full:) I have also rescued many animals from squirrels to birds and have a special place in my heart for animals in need of help. I love to play and even help train dogs. Animals with special needs are more than welcome here and I would tend to their every need. IWe have just over 2 acres of land and a fenced in area with chickens who are fenced separate from pups. Your family member would be happy to be here:) I provide a true “Vacation” for your pets while you are away! I am equipped and ready to work with all dog types. I cannot board any dogs who are aggressive to other animals or people for safety to all. This is a full-time job for me and animals are a true passion of mine. If you would like pictures and videos of recent guests just ask and you shall receive :) If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am caring for pets full time! We do not crate (unless asked by owner). Pets can feel like they are on vacation when you are on vacation!!! All pets we care for are treated as if they are members of our family. We offer a day of activities for your pet whether they like to play catch, lounge under trees, etc. We have access in and out of our house with minimal steps that is great for more senior dogs who have a hard time walking. You will not be disappointed if you trust in me and my family! ***When packing your pup(s) for their stay they really only need food, leash/collar/tags, favorite treats(I have some here but may pack your own), medications (if necessary), and your preferred care instructions (how much food they eat, medication instructions, etc.). You may pack bedding and a couple favorite toys if you think your pup will be more at home but I have found that none of the pups are interested in those things when they come here so not necessary if you don’t want to pack so much. I have many items such as bowls, toys, bedding, treats, sprinklers for hot days, etc. I do not crate unless asked by owner. All pups need to be up to date on vaccines and rabies. I will need to take a copy of them and keep them on file here:) I am boarding full time! Pets are NEVER left alone or outside alone. We are fenced in the back yard also for some leash less fun! Your pets are cared for like my own family:) I am strict to pet owners requests and do not share food or treats that don’t belong to each pet so no one gets sick. (You may send their treats if you like it will only be given to them). Can give medications if needed.

“Michaela is great! She loved on Oren and was excited to see him a second time and Oren was very excited to see her. He came home tired which I loved, meaning he had lots of fun at her house. She communicates well for updates on how he was doing through the day. I would definitely hire her again.”
