Top rated Newtonville pet boarders

“Aly was extremely helpful when watching my cat. Made sure to keep me updated, even asked how often I’d want updates. Great environment for a dog or cat, accommodated all of my requests and I could tell my cat was happy and entertained there”


“Angela did a wonderful job caring for my senior pup! She is kind and attentive and made sure that Elsie had a great stay. I would book with her again when the opportunity presents!”


“We are so grateful to March and his family for taking great care of Billie while we were away. March was extremely communicative and it was very clear from his messages and photos that Billie was very well cared for and happy. We’ve already booked him for our next trip!”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”



“Appreciate Paul’s attentive care to our 8-month old puppy and his honest feedback about how he was doing. Took him a bit to settle in but Paul was very patient and Timber clearly enjoyed his stay. Thanks Paul!”


“Our dog stayed with Francois for 5 days and was well loved and taken care of. Francois was always in touch, keeping us updated and discussing any concerns, and we know he provided Pumpkin with gentle and loving care. We would be happy to have Pumpkin stay with him again!”


“We had such a wonderful experience booking with Tomoe! Yoda was treated just like family and it’s safe to say he was right at home! Thank you for taking such great care of him and sharing such cute pictures and videos!”


“I cannot say enough nice things about Olivia! She was instantly responsive when I first reached out about the booking and very accommodating in the lead-up to Maisy's stay. Once I dropped her off, Olivia sent us multiple updates and photos throughout each day Maisy was with her. But the biggest compliment I want to pay was for how she looked after Maisy when she got sick toward the end of the visit. Olivia had to put up with so much: accidents, getting up with Maisy several times each night and even taking her to urgent care. Throughout this distressing ordeal, Olivia was so responsible, communicative and understanding; we took huge comfort in knowing Maisy was in good hands while we were so far away. While I wouldn't wish another experience like that on her, know that Olivia is great in a crisis and a lifesaver to anxious dog parents. Highly recommended!”


“Tae is the best! Chester has the absolute BEST time with her. He is so happy at drop off and comes home so happy and calm. We are so grateful for the wonderful care he receives with Tae!”


“Jeongeun was amazing! Bruno was so well taken care of for the entire weekend he was with her. She is very caring and communicative. We couldn’t be happier and felt so reassured with Jeongeun! Thanks so much!”



“Lyn was great with my puppy Pixie-Fluff! She sent pictures, gave her cuddles, and made sure she got some exercise and outdoor time. Pixie Fluff can’t wait to see her again.”


“Piper was very well cared for while with this family. I would recommend Rebecca as an excellent care taker. I will be sure to use her again for any other vacations. Sincerely, Martha”


“Emma was amazing!! Her and her boyfriend took incredible care of Parker. I was terrified because Parker has never been to the city but Emma made me feel so much better and sent me so many pictures and updates. I am so grateful my puppy was in such wonderful hands. Thank you again Emma!!!!”


“I can’t say enough about Grady’s awesome stay with Karin and her husband. Grady felt right at home and I got lots of updates which made us feel even more comfortable leaving her. In the past I had only left her with our friend before this so I was very nervous. It was a very positive experience and she was well taken care of. I will definitely use Karin again.”


“Amazing dog sitters! Lovely family who made my dog feel comfortable immediately. They are great about sharing photos on a daily basis. My dog is always loved as if she is their own when she goes there.”



“Melissa took great care of our pup! She was super easy to communicate with and sent us pictures throughout our dog’s stay in her home. Looking forward to booking with her again!”


“We had a wonderful experience with Robert and family while they cared for our dog for six days. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. They sent us lots of updates and photos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. Bruno looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every picture—and he seemed to have a really good time during his stay. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would absolutely book with them again!”


“We feel so lucky to have found Xiaoting & Xiao to take care of our dog, Toto, while we were away for 8 days. Honestly, they’re the best sitters we’ve ever had. Toto has had some trouble with overeating and overweight, but Xiaoting & Xiao went above and beyond, not just looking after him, but really helping him thrive. They sent us daily photo and video updates, and even shared thoughtful tips on feeding and exercise. Toto got regular walks, healthy meals, and so much love and attention. He came back healthier, happier, and more energetic than ever. Their home is super clean, well-organized, and totally dog-friendly, which made us feel at ease right away. It’s clear they truly care and treat the dogs like part of their family. We’ve worked with a few sitters before, but Xiaoting & Xiao were hands-down the best. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of our Toto!”
