“Bunny had the best time with Michelle, her family, and the other doggy guests. Michelle was great at communicating and sharing videos and I know Bunny looks forward to visiting again.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dog for a night with Fae & Joe! Easy and fast communication. Drop off and intro were very easy, our dog came home looking great. We got regular updates for the duration of the stay. It was lovely to see our dog look relaxed and have access to the couch and the house!”
“Deb was an excellent sitter for my dog Rocky. She was very communicative and kept us informed. She sent us home with a gift for my soccer playing pup that was sweet and unexpected. Her yard is beautiful and she is very active with her charges. Highly recommend! We be rebooking.”
“felice was amazing with joy! it was so much easier leaving for vacation knowing that joy was in good hands. really appreciated how detailed she was & it was clear from the start that joy was well taken care of. i’ll definitely be using her in the future:)”
“Our 3 year old Vizsla had a great time with Marian and her family. She was extremely easy to communicate with and we received updates and pictures while we were away. It's always stressful to leave a furry family member behind but we felt very comfortable dropping our pup off with Marian and her family. We would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Jhoanna did amazing with Khali. She did daily updates about her status, very attentive and detailed. We always felt Khali was in good hands. She made sure Khali had enough playtime and got her daily walks. I would definitely trust her again with my pup.”
“Tyler was amazing with my Lobo and Tango! He was a great communicator and I was ever grateful for the flexibility as my travel plans change unexpectedly a few times while I was away. I could tell they were truly cared for and a spoiled just as much (if not more) than would have been with me! Highly recommend and will be trying Tyler again for my next dog care needs”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“Jhona provided excellent care for Demi while I was away for a week. She was very communicative, caring, and attentive, and I was at ease knowing Demi was in loving hands. Jhona clearly is experienced and knows how to follow all instructions when taking care of your fur babies. I will absolutely book with Jhona again.”
“Nice communications and Brewster was happy at drop-off, in pictures and at pickup. We had problems getting back and Hyesun and Bob were very accommodating as we were stuck overnight at an airport hotel! Location is wonderful for a dog as the walks in this part of Marblehead provide quiet streets and variety of sniffing :)”
“My Pita 3 year-old Jack Russell mix loves going to see Paula! And unlike other places I have tried in the past, she comes back from Paula's relaxed, never anxious. And usually tired out from play. Paula is very accommodating with scheduling, and her set up is great with multiple pens in the back yard to accommodate the dogs in break-out groups.”
“Cannot say enough wonderful things about Faith. It was Birdies first stay with Faith and she had a ball with constant playdates! Faith responded quickly to my texts and I felt Completely comfortable with my baby in her care. I will Definitely be using Faith again! Cannot thank her enough for treating my fur baby like her own!”
“Great response time. Kerri sent videos and pictures through out Zoey’s five day stay. This made leaving her for the first time easier. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Kerri and your family for giving Zoey a good vacation also”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“Michael was very communicative the whole time, and our Caju had a great time at his house! He was well taken care of and came back happy and tired :) I’ll definitely do it again when needed!”
“Muppet loves going to see Luciana and Solange and all the doggies he meets there. I always feel confident that he is getting the attention he needs with consistency and kindness. Obrigada!”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”

Kyli and Scott were amazing! Our dog had so much love, attention, adventure, and care. He didn't want to leave! They took him to the beach, played with him with their giant bucket of toys, and sent lots of great pictures that are probably going to end up on his instagram. They were extremely responsive, and while our dog Kyle usually doesn't eat much when in a new environment, was actually eating his kibble more than at home! Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
Mirellys has been an absolute angel when taking care of my pup! I was away for a long weekend and she sent me videos, photos and I received so many amazing updates. I knew he was in the best hands possible with her. She is so caring, attentive, sweet and made sure he was eating, getting lots of walks, snuggles, playtime and attention! I know my dog is missing her too because he had such a nice doggie getaway with Mirellys! I will definitely be using her again! If you need a sitter or any kind of help with your four legged babies I would HIGHLY recommend her!!! 🙏😊
Andre is great. He took great care of our dog and his training method is excellent. Our little boy was exhausted but learned to safely walk on sidewalks, stop before crossing the street and staying and coming when called. We will continue to work with Andre to refine his skills so we can take him anywhere confidently and safely. Highly recommend Andre to anyone needing help training.
This is the third time Tina has taken care of Bill and we'll continue to use her help. She keeps us informed with pictures and videos on how Bill is doing and she keeps him very busy as well. Bill is always happy to see her and stay with her and that gives us a peace of mind knowing that he is also happy when we are having "adult" vacations. We highly recommend her, she is trustworthy, reliable and very easy to talk to.
Samantha was unbelievably helpful, thoughtful and communicative taking care of our little guy Benny during our wedding weekend up on the North Shore. She absolutely went above and beyond for us during a special, and specially chaotic, weekend - allowing us to make memories with him on our special day while knowing he was well taken care of through the night. We couldn't have pulled it all off without her!
From the moment I met Sarah at her home, I knew my Luigi was in good hands. Sarah is a true cat lover like me. I could tell by the number of toys and treats that abounded. Luigi was instantly at ease with Sarah. She was gentle and affectionate. Sarah shared pictures of our fur baby each day we were away. I very much appreciate the communication and I could tell that Luigi was content and relaxed in Sarah's care. I will be leaving Luigi with Sarah again in the future. It is a relief to know that I will not have to worry at all whether or not my kitty is happy while I travel.
