We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.

Gomer had a great time staying with Holly and having River as a play/house mate! Gomer was exhausted when we got home and I could tell he had fun staying for one night at Holly's. I so appreciated how Holly kept me updated on Gomer, was extremely responsive and overall, a pleasure to meet. I definitely plan to call Holly again for Gomercare!

Thank you Victoria for taking wonderful care of our dog Eddie. It was a pleasure to meet her family during the meet and greet. I was very grateful for the photo updates. Eddie was happy and very well cared for and they made him feel right at home. Thank you again. Victoria is kind, warm, gentle and loves dogs.

Lilith was amazing with my two cats Marvin and Mellow. She took loads of photos and gave me daily updates on how they were. Marvin was very nervous the first couple of days but she gave me loads of reassurance that he was doing okay. I definitely recommend Lilith for anyone who wants their cats to be well looked after.

Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with several dogs and have spent years learning how to care for them and understand their personalities. I’ve also dog sat for others, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. I truly love being around dogs and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I just graduated from The Boston Conservatory! I will be living in Boston for the summer, which allows for my schedule to be more open now that I am not in school. If there any schedule changes it shouldn't be too much of a problem! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always keep dogs closely supervised, securely leashed during walks, and follow each owner’s instructions for routines and care. I treat every dog with patience, attention, and lots of love to make sure they feel safe and happy!

About: I had a dog from ages 7 to 20 and I was deeply involved in his elderly care. After he passed, my parents got a cat so I’ve become a cat lover as well! I work full-time as a legal assistant. I work from home on Friday so my best availability would be from Thursday evening to Sunday evening. I do not live with any pets. I maintain a very clean apartment with two pet loving roommates and we are within walking distance of many parks.

Su is totally trust worthy and easy to work with. I won’t be looking for any other sitter to leave my daughter with but him! Thank you for being so loving and caring to Coco!

Tara was amazing with Mochi. We went on three separate trips during June and were really worried about leaving Mochi so much. But Tara loved on Mochi as much as we do and Mo loved staying with her. I have never seen Mo so excited to go to a sitter's house! Tara kept us updated with pictures and spoiled Mo every time! We are so thankful to Tara, Leo, and of course, the beautiful Allston for their hospitality!

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Eddy. It was my first time boarding my high energy German shepherd Koda, and I am so beyond grateful I found Eddy to take care of him!! I told him as many updates as he could give me would be appreciated, and he delivered! I got frequent updates on how Koda was doing, how he was eating and getting along with others, and SO many pictures and videos!!! It took so much stress off my shoulders seeing that my boy was having so much fun and being taken care of so wonderfully. He had a BLAST! Instead of boarding him it felt more like a mini vacation for him! I have recommended Eddy to all my friends and if you’re reading this debating using his services…DO IT!!! You will not regret it, Eddy was such a pleasure to work with and you can really tell how much he loves dogs and treats them as his own. Thank you again so much Eddy for being so communicative, responsible, and loving to Koda!

My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!

Su is the absolute best! We had him care for our 10 year old Husky for 2 weeks and he was so great about updates, walks, food, treats, and play time. We also couldn’t pick him up on the scheduled date and Su was so helpful and flexible to keep him an extra night. We are so grateful and highly recommend Su. We look forward to the future stays!
