I am currently a student at Boston University and live very close to campus. I’m able to go home regularly between classes to take dogs out and make sure they’re doing okay. My boyfriend, Jahn, works right across the street, so he’s also able to check on them as needed throughout the day. We’re both attentive and flexible, making sure your dog always has company and care. There are also several dog parks nearby where we can take them to play and get exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are free to roam around the apartment and make themselves comfortable. Whether that’s lounging on the couch or snuggling up in their favorite spot. I want them to feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I also make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. We go to the dog park regularly, where they can socialize and play with other friendly dogs, including those of my friends who often bring their pups along. This way, your dog gets both companionship and fun in a safe, positive environment. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they’re cared for, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Information Lorena G. would like to know about your pet

My boyfriend and I absolutely love dogs and are excited to make any pup feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while they’re with us.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, and walks. I live just a few blocks away from a dog park, so I’ll take your dog there for fresh air and exercise. It’s a great place for them to run, explore, and socialize. My friend also has a playful puppy who loves meeting new friends, so if your dog enjoys company, they’ll have a chance to play together too! Between outings, I make sure they get lots of cuddles, rest, and care.

Loving Care for Every Pup

Pet care experience

What sets us apart as sitters is that caring for dogs has always been a part of our lives. I grew up with a family dog, so from a young age I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and love when it comes to raising and caring for pets. My boyfriend, Jahn, shares that same love for animals and lives with me, so he’ll also be helping care for your dog. During college, we’ve continued to care for dogs—ranging from playful puppies who need extra training and attention to senior dogs who require gentle care, daily medication, and special routines. Because of this experience, we’ve become very attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means reinforcing positive habits, providing companionship, or ensuring they get the right balance of exercise, rest, and care. We don’t just “watch” pets—we treat them like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away.

Lorena and Jahn were so great on a relatively last-minute stay for Coop. They were highly communicative and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them again!

Lorena and her boyfriend did an amazing job taking care of Logan. I was honestly a bit nervous since it was my first time having him boarded, but they made me feel completely at ease and treated Logan like their own. She communicated consistently, always responded to my messages, and sent frequent updates and pictures, which meant a lot. I’m beyond grateful for the care they provided and would definitely trust them again!
