Dog Boarding in South Boston

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from energetic puppies to quirky seniors. I work from home, so I’m able to offer tons of attention, exercise, and consistency throughout the day. Having lived with everything from labs to Pyrenees mixes, I understand the importance of meeting each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s structured walks, gentle senior care, or patient socialization for shy pups. I’m comfortable with big dogs and independent personalities, and my own experience training puppies and supporting older dogs means your pup is in caring, knowledgeable hands.What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for a variety of breeds—including puppies and seniors—and my work-from-home flexibility means dogs get real companionship and attention all day. I understand big, independent, and quirky personalities, and I prioritize individualized care, from puppy training to gentle support for older dogs. I take the time to get to know every dog, building trust through patience, routine, and play. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life, not an afterthought. Since I work from home, I’m able to integrate walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day—whether it’s a morning stroll, afternoon games in the park, or relaxed evenings together. My routine is flexible, so dogs always get outside for fresh air and exercise and receive plenty of attention between my work sessions. On weekends, I love exploring new neighborhoods, local parks, or heading to the beach—always bringing dogs along for new adventures. Whether it’s active pups needing stimulation or seniors who prefer a calm presence, I adapt my days to make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and part of my everyday world. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and integrated into my daily routine—regular walks to nearby parks or the beach, supervised playtime, and cozy rest spots throughout my home. I keep to each dog’s familiar schedule as much as possible, including feeding times, exercise, and any training or medication routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their own environment. I follow all instructions closely, from special diet needs to unique quirks or favorite toys, and keep in touch with updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, structure, and genuine affection—whether they’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer.

“Frieda had a great weekend with Jing! Lots of time in the backyard and chasing a ball. Jing kept me updated with photos and videos, and I’ve got a happy and tired pup!”

“Carolina is awesome. Kaci loves to visit and enjoys spending time with the other dogs. They keep me updated with photos and take him on good walks. I love that she offers pick up and drop and is always on time. As a busy person it is good to have a sitter you trust.”

“Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.”

“Jess was amazing!! She sent daily updates and pictures and I could tell from the pictures that Mabel was so happy and being treated so well. Would recommend for anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter who goes above and beyond!”

Lily F.

“We found Zwany & Leandro after our regular Dog sitter moved away - and they are such a gem! Super communicative, extremely responsible but easy-going at the same time, and very sweet with the pups. You can tell this is truly what they love to do. They were also very flexible and accommodating when our travel plans suddenly changed which was super appreciative. They are awesome!!”

Rachel H.

“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”

Jessica G.

“Tyler and Caroline did a great job caring for Archie!! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. They sent thoughtful daily updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!”

Gabrielle B.

“Danya has quickly become our go-to sitter for our pup. He loves going over there and she is gives him all the love and attention he needs when we are out of town. And when we had to extend a trip last minute, Danya was able to keep him with no notice (such a relief).”

Emily P.

“Vanessa was great - our first time leaving our 8 year old terrier mix with her and we felt totally comfortable and at peace the whole time. From meeting Vanessa you can tell she’s extremely processional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; asking all the right questions to ensure the best stay for your pet and the easiest time away for you. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates over the course of her stay. Our dog even shamelessly got right into bed and snuggled with Vanessa all night 😂 We will definitely reach out to Vanessa again!”

Bella P.

“First time that we left Fiona with Peyton. She is a wonderful sitter. She kept us well informed with notes and pictures. Highly recommend!”

Arleen S.

“My dog had a great time at Zarah’s! She sent so many updates and it was so nice to know he was being so well taken care of while I was out of town!”

Emily C.

“Logan and her dog Gus were wonderful with my golden. Logan has a natural confidence and calm presence that the dogs respond to immediately — they listen to her and clearly feel comfortable around her. She handled everything with ease and professionalism. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!”

John S.

“Dana took great care of Hodu for us and we’re very grateful. One note is that we would have loved to get updates and photos from him without having to ask for them, but overall he was a good sitter. Happy to have gone with him!”

Christian and Jane T.

“My dogs had a great time boarding at Caroline’s. She took very good care of them and they had fun playing in the yard and trying to play with her cats.”

Amanda R.

“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”

Jacqueline N.

“Sydney sent us photos multiple times a day and made us feel comfortable leaving our pet with her”

Lal T.

“The idea of an overnight dog sitter was very scary to me as a dog mom of a 2 month old puppy. Erin eased all my concerns. She’s extremely friendly and eager to help, from helping bring in Logan’s crate to even walking out in the rain to take him out on potty breaks throughout the night. And she sends pictures throughout his stay! Which I love because it’s real time updates of how my baby’s doing. Erin thank you so much for welcoming him into your home and taking such good care of him following my care instructions to the letter. I have already booked additional services with Erin. She comes highly recommended!!”

Dahiana L.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Joseph. His communication was great and he was an awesome sitter for Athena. I want to point out that I made an error in booking my dog's stay and Joseph gladly helped out and made accommodations. He definitely did not have to do that, but I was so thankful that he did! 5 stars! Would definitely recommend!”

Elton B.

“Jamie was great taking care of Maya, she sent me multiple updates throughout the week and made sure Maya was comfortable and happy!! I would definitely recommend her and will use again in the future!!”
