I have a very dog friendly building in Seaport / Fort Point (with treats and all), and live within just blocks of multiple dog friendly parks and safe areas to run around, play fetch, chill in the grass, or hang outside a coffee shop. I also have a very mild mannered miniature golden doodle (6.5 yrs, 20lbs) to keep your pup in the best company. He’s calm and sweet, and gets along great coexisting with all dogs, whether in his space or theirs or otherwise.

Information Joanna G. would like to know about your pet

Experienced with managing daily medications and special restrictions (dietary or physical). If your pup has any special need just let me know! Handicap friendly building with elevator.

A typical day

Our neighborhood caters to dogs! There are a couple different parks within just a few blocks of my place, and lots of opportunity for your pup to run around, chase a ball, go on walks down by the water, take in all the new smells and sounds, or just chill out.

Joanna was amazing to Leo! Joanna was accommodating of my crazy schedule. She made the drop off and pick up seamless. She sent 2 updates and photos during the day, which was great. I highly recommend Joanna.
