“Lily was great! She dropped in daily to check on my cat while I was out of town for eight days, and I returned to find a happy, healthy, and well-fed kitty.

I will absolutely be using Lily's services again the next time I go on vacation, and you should book her too!”

About: I have a 3 year old Portuguese water dog, Jaxon, and am an occasional dog foster for Boston Animal Rescue League. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds! I work from home most days and am always looking for an excuse to get outside! I would love to have a new friend join me for my walks! I replicate the guidance given to me in others home and make the care as consistent as possible. I am available for boarding but need to have introductions with my dog prior to booking!
“Fiona loves Jess! She gave her all the extra attention she needed so much so that Fiona wasn’t even upset with me upon my return! Jess sends great updates and pictures.”
“Madelyn was so good with my Mia! She was attentive, caring and very communicative. I felt very much at ease with her and will for sure be booking her in the future!”
