“Daniel and his dog Annie were a wonderful match for our dog, Tegan. He even arranged a meet-up beforehand so the dogs could get to know each other, which gave us peace of mind. During Tegan’s stay, Daniel sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. Tegan usually takes a day or two to settle in and start eating when she’s in a new environment, but with Daniel and Annie she felt right at home from the start. We’ll definitely ask Daniel to watch Tegan again in the future!”
“Rocky had so much fun! The pick up and drop off was so convenient. I loved the videos she sent and even sent us home with a cute Polaroid! Will definitely book again!”
“This was our second time working with Jess, and Duke was happy as can be. We loved the photos of Duke interacting with the other dogs and having a great time. Won't hesitate to have Jess watch Duke again.”
“Absolutely AMAZING dog sitter! My original plans for my dog fell through at the last minute and I reached out to 3 other people and TIANYUE was on the last page for whatever reason but I'm glad I stuck it out! Her communication, her updates, and even help with rebooking, all 5 stars! Sad i don't live in Boston anymore because I would easily hand over my baby girl to her!”
“Ted is amazing! We would gladly leave our dog in his care again the next time we need a sitter. He sent daily updates and went above and beyond to ensure our dog wasn’t happy.”
“Alec and Damien were so kind! My cat loved being at their place. There was plenty of room and things to explore and he was very much well taken care of. 100% would recommend them!”
“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”
“Luna really had a great week with Alyson! I highly recommend her. She sent is daily updates. She took special care of our cat. The transition back home has been amazing. Hoping she will be our cat sitter forever!”
“Emily was fantastic, sending frequent photo updates of my pup having a great time while I was away. It was such a relief to know he was in great hands :)”
“We feel so lucky and grateful to have met Jamie and her family. Our dog Jaxon had the best time and we never had to worry about him. While we were busy moving our college student, Jamie and her family made it so easy for us to focus on that, knowing Jaxon was cared for and happy.”
“Bridget was amazing and took such good care of my golden retriever- she gave wonderful updates that made me feel like he was in loving and thoughtful hands! I’m so grateful for her care and Peanut can’t wait to stay with her again :)”
“Lauren was amazing! She was so good with my dog Jango. We did a meet and create and she was very accommodating to Jango’s needs and was super responsive. While I was away, she sent me great updates on him and communicated whenever she had any questions. Would absolutely book with her again!! Highly recommend Lauren!”
“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”
“Whitney and David welcomed Koyuki again this time. They always care for her as if she were part of their own family. We can leave our dog with them with complete peace of mind every time.”
“Zwany & Leandro made me feel so great about leaving my dog for the weekend. They set up time to meet beforehand, so we could see how she would react around their dog. Zwany also asked me so many questions about my dog’s temperament, commands she knows, etc. I have only ever used boarding facilities in the past, but my dog absolutely loved staying with Zwany & Leandro! She spent so much time with people, and from the pictures they sent, I could tell she had a blast! I highly recommend.”
About: I am a Paw-rent of a wonderful 12lb/6y.o. BostonTerrier-Chihuahua mix rescue. I grew up caring for dogs all my life and adopting my pooch has been fantastic. I want to make available to other dogs the care that I give to my own. His name is Cheech I am currently transitioning from work and figuring out my next step in life. At home all day and available for boarding other dogs during this transition. I live with my pooch and we live near the Neponset river, a great area to go for walks with active dogs If your dog is not active, am happy to cuddle on the couch as well. Let me know of special diet or medications your dog might require and I will follow instructions
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“Kaitlyn was so wonderful! She communicated regularly and was calm and understanding when Allie had a bout of stomach issues. Allie came home happy and tired, the perfect combination!”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”

Noel was wonderful. This was the first time Josie, my dog, had been left with a non family member. Both of us were a little nervous as Josie is wary of people she does not know. By the end of the meet and greet Josie was snuggling up to Noel. I was able to go on my trip with complete peace of mind.
Ryan was unreal with Oakley. Truly. From the second we left, I didn’t have that dog parent anxiety even once. He kept us updated and sent so many photos… and Oakley looked SO happy in every single one. Like, full smile, living-his-best-life energy. Ryan was super responsive, thoughtful, and treated Oakley like his own. That peace of mind is everything. We’ll 1000% be using him again. So grateful to have found him. 🐾
Jason is the absolute best! he always treats our pup like a prince with long walks, cuddles and our dog loves to play with his friendly and sweet dog Noah. He also just got a new 6 foot fence in his backyard which our dog loves which is an extra special treat. Highly recommend.
Ashley was an absolutely amazing dog sitter! She took wonderful care of our puppy, sent us lots of great updates with photos and videos, and made sure our puppy felt very comfortable throughout the weekend. We are so grateful and very much look forward to using her again!
