Doggy Day Care in Shirley

“Our collie, Logan, and ourselves, too loved Kathryn and her big back yard. Her 2 dogs, Arlo and Smoky, were great hosts. Logan had a fun time and came home happy and content. We are looking forward to many more daycares and boarding soon.”

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.

“Connie was wonderful with watching our boy Milo! We reached out to her on short notice and she welcomed Milo with open arms! We highly recommend Connie for your dog day care needs!”

“Daisy had a great day with Stef! Stef met with us in advance to meet Daisy and learn about her daily routine and requirements. She made it very easy to drop Daisy off and pick her up and also sent a few pictures during the day. Stef took her out for three walks, one of them was a car ride away from Stef's home which was an adventure for Daisy. It was almost hard to get Daisy into the car as she didn't want to leave. Daisy was so tired that night and into the next day, but was very happy. We are looking forward to having Stef take care of her again!”

“Jon took great care of Ace and sent us several videos of Ace playing with other dogs. Ace clearly enjoys repeat visits here because he runs to get to the house.”

Heidi G.

“Anastasia is fantastic! My dog is anxious around strangers and new dogs, so I’m always a bit nervous when leaving her with a new sitter. Anastasia did a great job at easing my mind and sent me a lot of pictures of Luna enjoying herself. I highly recommend her daycare!”

Caroline L.

“Extremely accommodating. Took our Lulu on short notice and flexible on hours. Knowledgeable on how dogs interact and sensitive to their needs and personality. Lulu was taken good care of and had a good time.”

“Spot loved spending time at doggy daycare with Noy! She sent cute pictures throughout the day and was very communicative and easy to work with.”

Julia B.

“We’re so grateful for the excellent care that Shankar and family took of our cockapoo Mochi! They were great communicators- sending frequent photo and video updates of Mochi enjoying the beautiful, grassy, fenced-in yard, sniffing chickens (on the other side of the fence), playing with their dog, and snoozing on the couch. It was clear Mochi had a great day and that they are true dog lovers. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area and highly recommend them to all!”

Sarah C.

“My dog was in great hands with Vicky! Very easy to schedule and coordinate with, and Rosie seems to have had a great time. I would definitely trust her to take care of Rosie anytime!”

About: My family raised Irish terriers for 20 years so I have taken care of dogs in whelp as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable around animals of all sizes and have trained two strays into loving family pets. I recently retired and want to do work that I love; and there is nothing more special than taking loving care of other people’s fur babies now that my elderly dogs have passed. I have an air conditioned home with a spacious tiled mudroom for dogs who need an enclosed space. I have a fenced in area outside and a spacious yard for play on a leash. My neighborhood is safe and dog-friendly— great for long walks!

“This was our first visit to let the dogs get used to the place before we have them stay for an extended period of time. Everything went exceptionally well, the dogs were very happy and seemed to make some new friends. This really made us feel comfortable using Phill as well as we've already recommended him to our friends.”

“Outstanding care! Brian made sure Kolu had lots of exercise, healthy treats and kibble, and rest. Having Brian care for Kolu lets me relax and focus on what needs to be done. Thanks, Brian! We’ll see you again soon!”

About: Hi all! I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs/pups and cats. My very first pup was a chihuahua at around age 5. Since then my love for animals grew. I've had several Siamese cats, aquatic fish and dogs growing up. I've walked and cared for many different pups around town (just about all breeds) and I can assure your furry friend is in good hands. In our house I have a 13 year old son, a 2 year old daughter, three turtles, bearded dragon and several fish. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I can provide you with several references, past employer and client related. I can also pick up/drop off to make things easier. Thank you!

About: Hi! I have walked dogs ranging from big to small, staying overnight with dogs & cats sometimes even for multiple days, administered medicine to cats who are either sick or older, taken pets to the vet. I love animals and I talk to them gently and give them lots of attention. I have a nice yard for if your dog comes over either for daycare or overnight and the area I live in has many different opportunities for fun walks. I also can come over to feed or play with your cat. I'm open to taking care of other pets too except for fish. I grew up with a beagle, taking him on walks, watching him when my parents would go on vacation, he lived until he was 14 years old. I then had a senior beagle/Boston terrier mix that I took care of for a couple years after his previous owner got too old to handle him. Now my family has a Chihuahua mix, and I walk and baby sit her all the time. I have a cat of my own. I have babysat my neighbor's cats, and my best friend's cat multiple times, even staying in their homes to give their pet the most attention possible. Please feel free to ask me questions. The only request I have is you let me know if your dog has any aggressive tendencies so that I am not caught off guard. I usually do meet and greets so we can talk in person and I can meet your pet and understand all their specific needs. My schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. I have marked on my calendar days I'm traveling or unavailable but the days I have open timing is not difficult for me. When I babysit I feed them regularly, take them out on walks approximately every 2 - 3 hours. I play games with them and talk very sweet to them and pet them if they like that. I have babysit both cats and dogs and will do meet and greets if that will make your pet more comfortable. I have also taken care of an elderly Mastiff, as well as helped train a puppy Malanois. In terms of areas I go to regularly Somerville, Medford, and Winchester are the three preferred places to go. I also sometimes dog sit in Cambridge.

About: I have taken care of fur-babies since I was about 10 years old and I took care of my neighbors pets during every vacation. Since then I have had many pets of my own and have continued caring for others pets in my spare time. I like to take the pups for walks and enjoy hanging out with the cats - if they're playful I like to throw their toys around and watch them run after them. I currently work fully from home so it's rather easy to take care of pets on my lunch break and again as soon as I get off. On the weekends I tend to go for a lot of hikes so if you have a pup I would be happy to take them with me. I also have a kitty backpack if your cat is the adventurous type! I will follow any instructions and care provided by you for your pup or kitten. I respect all training styles- if your pet is crate trained I will be sure to follow that, if they must be on a leash outside I will always follow that. When watching your fur-baby they will be my first priority.
