“Rebeca was amazing with our dog Maggie! She sent pics and updates throughout the week, and we were able to relax knowing she was in great hands! We’ll absolutely hire Rebeca again in the future!”
“Xiaxia and her family took great care of Luna. Xiaxia sent pictures and updates every day. Luna was happy playing in the field near their home. We will definitely ask her to dog sit next time we are out of town.”
“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“This was the 2nd time that Maisie stayed with Carol while we were away. I feel like Maisie has as much fun on vacation as us while away, and there’s nothing better than knowing your pet is happy and well taken care of. Maisie loves to cuddle and relax as much as play, or maybe more than play, and she gets exactly what she needs while staying with Carol and her family.”
“We love Jessica! Our dog - michie- is so excited to stay with her every time. Jessica sends us updates about how Micjie is doing and quickly answers questions! She is easy to coordinate with and genuinely enjoys pets. Highly recommend - she is our number one suttee for our most precious fur family member!!!”
“Marcia is terrific! She helped us with a last minute emergency boarding request and provided extraordinary loving care for our 7 year old boxer. Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She watched my pup, in-house for a weekend I had to attend a wedding out of town. She came over a week or so beforehand to meet my dog, walked in the door, and my pup immediately loved her - Daisy can be a little fussy, so Elizabeth must just have that special something that dogs can sense :) She sent a lot of photos and videos throughout her stay of all the fun they were having and through each update it was clear how much love and attention my pup was getting. It was really reassuring to know that my pup was being so well taken care of. They will definitely be my new go-to!”
“My pup had an absolute blast staying with Kimberly & Brian! They were very communicative, sent lots of photos, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them. He had a great time playing in their yard and with their dog Daisy! I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Natasha and Jonathan kept this first time dog Daddy at ease the whole time. I had to go into the hospital last minute for emergency procedures and they helped me tremendously and they kept me updated everyday with pictures that made it a little bit easier for me to be separated from my baby girl. I highly recommend them.”
“This was the first time we have been away from our puppy for a long period of time and Akhil did an amazing job easing our anxiety and our puppy's. Akhil was in constant communication with us, sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day and kept our puppy entertained via multiple enrichment activities. We could tell our puppy enjoyed her time with Akhil because she gave him a going away hug when we picked her up haha. Akhil will be our go to dog sitter moving forward!”
“My pup had a great stay and was very well cared for! Lots of pictures of him playing with other pups and enjoying walks made me feel I made excellent choice. Thank you to Luciana and her mom!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Michelle is a great dog sitter who takes the dogs for a lot of walks. Her two dogs Bear and Moose get along with Oliver and they like to play. She has a large fenced yard and loves dogs.”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ahmed and his family while we were away on vacation for 10 days. They took such great care of our dog, Gracie, and truly treated her like part of their own family. Ahmed was fantastic with communication throughout our trip and regularly shared pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Gracie was. It was clear that she was getting lots of love, attention, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ahmed and his family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative dog sitter. We would absolutely love to have Gracie stay with them again!”
“Our 7 year old dog Blaze did very well with his first stay away from home with Paul M. Blaze was calm during drop off and at pick up. He was calm meeting Paul M. Paul sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. All communication before and during the booking was very timely. Paul reported keeping feeding and walking schedules as requested. Blaze was on track with everything up on return home. Thank you so much Paul M.”
“We had a last minute trip during a holiday weekend and reached out to Hunter who quickly agreed to take care of our 15 year old toy poodle. She was quick to respond and provided great communication during the entire care. Our dog also got along great with her dogs. Would use her again!”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”

Sahana and Raman were wonderful! They took the time to meet our Red and make sure he was comfortable with them and their Cinnamon while we were still present. They were also very flexible and communicative. Red looked very happy and comfy, both in the many pics/videos they sent through the stay, and when we picked him up after a week. Would definitely book again!
Our dog, Bailey, had a wonderful time with Mariia & Mikhail – it was very clear from all the photos! We were away for almost two weeks and were initially a little nervous to leave Bailey for so long. Their communication and adorable photos of Bailey having fun, getting a lot of attention, and taking walks put us at ease and made our hearts sing. Our Bailey is 14 years old, so she has some walking limitations, and she has to take medication. Mariia & Mikhail handled everything like pros, and we truly don’t think she could have been in better hands. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their pet with friendly, responsible, and communicative sitters.
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
Vibutesh took really good care of Ori during a last minute booking we had. He sent us frequent updates and accomodated all of our requests for Ori. He was also very flexible with timings and such. I highly recommend Vibutesh and would definitely book him again for Ori !

92% of sitters in Reading can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Reading home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Reading.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Reading sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
