I'll run, play and spoil your pup!

Pet care experience

Straight from Boston's premiere dog hotel and walking service to your door! I bring over 24 years of experience working with dogs with me when I come to help give your pup the love they deserve. I've trained search and rescue dogs, companion dogs and have enjoyed tons of off-leash adventures with groups of dogs. I'm available all day and most weekends. I will check your pups feet and coat, make sure they behave themselves well on walks and send you a ton of pictures should you request it! Your dog deserves positive attention and praise so they can be the best companion to you that they can be. Come home to a happy, healthy, tired pup! All dog breeds are great and are welcome!

Miss McDevitt is a consummate professional with animals. I have seen her over a period of at least two decades with several animals that she has trained and worked with. She has patience, kindness, and she is a wonderful animal person. She has a formal education that lends itself to understanding the needs of those around her which obviously extends to her experience with animals and success with training and with caring for them.

I've known Gillian for years and there is no one I would recommend more highly to take care of your furry loved ones. She's been surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses since she was little and has always had a natural gift for understanding them, communicating with them, and caring for them. She's raised, trained, and cared for two dogs of her own, and she has lots of professional experience working with dogs on and off leash. When it comes to training she's gentle and firm, and she has a knack for learning the quirks of each dog's personality and catering to a variety of physical and emotional needs. Moreover, she is professional, reliable, responsive, and experienced at providing great customer service, building strong, trusting relationships with her clients (both the furry ones and their owners). When she was working with dogs full-time, I was amazed to see how many clients treated her like a part of their own family. Your dogs will be in the best hands possible with Gillian!

Gillian is an incredibly skilled and caring dog walker and caretaker. I would trust her to take care of my dog in any situation. She knows how to properly tend to, communicate with, and nurture dogs. Her experience has shown in any situation I’ve seen her interact with a dog in. She truly loves animals and is a wonderful person to trust your pet with.

Gillian is a very experienced dog walker and dog sitter. She is responsible, responsive, and knowledgable. She is able to render first aid if necessary and is very in tune to a dog's needs.

Information Gillian M. would like to know about your pet

Are they up to date on their vaccinations? Who is their vet?How well socialized are they? Do they play well with other dogs or do they like going solo? Are they treat-driven? Are they allowed treats? Do they take any medications? What kind of walking equipment do you use (harness, easy-walker,prong etc.)? Are they easily frightened by certain things? No breed preferences! All are welcome :)

A typical day

With the convenience of a car, walks don't have to be restricted to the neighborhood. We can walk urban streets or quiet neighborhoods where they can feel a sense of relief from the city noise. We can even go on nature walks in the nearby reserves! Does your dog enjoy a game of fetch at the park? Great! Have chuck-it, will travel! Looking to reinforce that training you just paid for? I can provide a structured training walk to keep things fresh with your dog!
