Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my everyday life! I work remotely from home Wednesday through Friday, so I’m here all day to give your pup constant love, attention, and companionship. The rest of the week I’m fully flexible and dedicate my time to the dogs in my care. We enjoy at least two fun walks a day (including beautiful trails in the nearby state park), play sessions in the backyard, meals (often with homemade soup or stock I love preparing), and plenty of cuddle time. I can easily pick up or drop off your pet on Tuesdays when I’m traveling back from Boston to Southbridge, or any other day that works for you too!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will have my undivided attention and love in a calm, safe, and stress-free home—during their stay I board only one dog (or one family of dogs) at a time, so yours will be the only guest enjoying all the cuddles and care. For ultimate comfort and safety, your pup stays in their own cozy private room, gets bathed in our clean walk-in shower whenever needed, enjoys fresh fruits and veggies as treats, a variety of fun toys, and structured activity every two hours—including multiple daily walks, backyard playtime, and lots of human companionship while I work from home right beside them!

Pet care experience

Your pup will feel like family in my cozy home, surrounded by endless love, cuddles, and pure joy every single day! We take daily adventure walks through the beautiful state park trails 10 min away, enjoy fresh air, and come home to homemade meals. Yes, I make fresh soup/stock for my boarding guests! Plus a relaxing bath and massage whenever needed. A true vacation for your dog – full attention, a loving environment, and all the belly rubs and playtime they could dream of!

Thank you so much for taking such good care of Trixie! It’s greatly appreciated. While we hate leaving her, knowing someone else cares for her as much as we do makes it a little easier.
