Doggy Day Care in South Dorchester, Boston, MA

“Mayu loves getting dropped off to Atticia’s for daycare. She’s walked, fed, rested, and loved all day and comes home ready to knock out. I’m also so happy Mayu has a dog friend with Aurora- I think it’s really helped with her manners and socialization skills. Thank you for all you do, Atticia!”

“Ange was so wonderful with Zazu! Super punctual and communicative. Zazu was so excited to see Ange day two of being minded as she clearly treated him so well. Couldn't recommend Ange more highly and I will definitely request Ange's skills and talents again.”

About: I would love to take care of your furbaby! I have several years of past experience working at animal hospitals and a year of volunteer experience at the ASPCA animal shelter. I offer boarding with only one pet family booked at a time. I also offer house-sitting and love how it is a great option for some pets who feel most comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home at least as clean and tidy as I found it. I usually stay overnight for the pet's care needs, but if you are looking for just morning to evening or partial day house-sitting, message me for a custom rate. Whether boarding or house-sitting, I will do my best to adhere to your furbaby's normal routine. I have a knack for relaxing anxious/shy/reactive pets and have quite a lot of experience winning them over. I would be happy to do a meet-n-greet in a large outdoor space for your pup to warm up to me on neutral ground. I've cared for the full spectrum of dog sizes and ages. With older pets, I go slowly and make sure not to startle them if they're sleeping, as they may not see or hear me come in. I like to discuss how I can accommodate any special needs your pet may have. Extra plus if your pet is a cuddler! I look forward to getting to know all of your pets' personality traits and quirks! I LOVE hearing stories about the weird things your pets do that make them unique! :D I work from home and can often accommodate same day requests for walks, drop-ins, and house-sitting. I do my best to follow your pet's normal routine. I like to go slow when meeting new furbabies, especially if you tell me they are shy or anxious. I use a few calming techniques that have shown to be effective. I like a challenge! It's so rewarding watching the transformation of a cat/dog go from showing defensive/protective behavior to them rubbing up on me or giving me kisses. Earning their trust is the best!

“My pup has done daycare with Jason three times now and she runs up to his front door excited each time. Jason shares photos and videos each day and maps of their walks and bathroom breaks. He’s a great communicator and it’s so comforting to leave my (big) dog with him when I’m at work knowing she’s fully taken care of. Can’t recommend him enough!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I have experience with big dogs and small tea cup sized dogs. I love cats and I am excited to meet your fur babies! My first dog sitting experience landed me a job for almost 12 years! I owned a large god for 10 years until she passed. Nothing brings more joy then providing love, shelter, support, and lots of snuggles to pets while their families are busy doing human things. I love taking dog on walks and playing fetch. Training dogs is difficult and rewarding for both master and pet! Keep me in mind when you make your choice about where you want your fur baby to stay! Did I say I love dogs!? ❤️ Pet care and self care are the same thing. You café for your pet the way you care for yourself. Daily walks, training(if needed) eating a routine diet. I make sure that pets have ample food or per owner request. Make sure that there is water, play time is important. Socializing is important in the animal world.

About: My wife and I would love to welcome your dog into our home! We both love dogs and have always had dogs in our home growing up, as well as a miniature bernedoodle of our own, Tucker who we have trained ourselves. We will walk your dog, bring he/she to the local dog park, and provide updates throughout their stay in our home. We know what it’s like leaving your pet behind and we would love to provide you with peace of mind while you’re away. We both currently work from home and our schedules allow for plenty of attention to your furry friend! If you have any special requests or needs for your dog, please let us know ahead of time. We are happy to accommodate an in home visit so you and your pet can both feel comfortable with us and our dog Tucker before you confirm your booking!

About: I’ve had a lifelong experience with dogs including growing up with two Scottish Terriers and raising my now almost seven-year-old lab shepherd mix, Tux. Combined, I’ve acquired great experience with dog care and training. I currently work full time from home from 9-5 Monday through Friday. On weekends, i am also available with notice. I’m available for walks from your home or pet sitting/walks from my home during the day/evening. On top of that, I’m happy to have your dog for boarding. I have a fenced in yard and parks very close to my home making for a great walk. Tux is here 7 days a week and I can let our dogs play or separate them if you prefer. Your pet is welcome on the couch in the living room or dog beds.

“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”

“Mokeisha was great at communicating and kept us updated with pictures and messages while watching Athena. We appreciate the care she provided.”

About: I’m a great sitter because animals have always been a part of my life. I’ve had the joy of raising dogs from puppies to adulthood, including a mini-poodle named Mikey, who was a cherished part of our family for 11 years. Currently, I have a 2-year-old cat named Cash and a 1.5-year-old dog named Jax. My care also extends to parakeets, other small birds, hamsters, and fish. Additionally, I have always found myself being a sitter for the pets of my relatives and I am currently fostering 2 cats. I have experience with nursing pets back to health after surgeries. I’m currently working part-time, so I have time to hang with the fur-babies! On weekdays, my afternoons are free, I do not work on Friday and Saturdays, and every night is available for possible boarders, as I am home. When caring for pets I prioritize their health, comfort, and emotional well-being. I ensure they’re well-fed by preparing and cooking their food according to their specific dietary needs. If a pet is unwell, I take the time to nurse them back to health with close attention and gentle care. I am also the person that takes my pets to their vet appointments. I also make sure they feel loved and secure by spending quality time with them—petting, cuddling, and playing—tailored to their personality and preferences. Each pet is treated like family, with patience, compassion, and responsibility at the heart of everything I do.

“Lindsey was amazing with our dog!! He had a few anxious moments and she kept us in the loop and handled it so well we were so grateful!! Would definitely love to keep using her as a go to!!”

About: I grew up with pets including dogs and cats my whole life and have fostered 1-2 dogs at a time (30 total over the years). It’s been about 3 years of fostering so I’m very used to chaos and untrained dogs. In the past I’ve also mothered two of my sister’s dogs longer term-a 5 year old Rottweiler and 1 year old mixed breed with a lot of energy so I have a lot of experience with different dogs! I recently moved to Dorchester and have a hybrid work schedule so I’m home every other week. I take several walks throughout the day and I’m happy to spend some time with others’ pets whether it’s walks or boarding in between my weeks of working in town. I’m very comfortable to spend time and play with dogs of all ages and breeds. I work from home every other week and have plenty of time to take breaks to go for a walk. I’m also happy to keep the dog at my condo for the day/night. I walk endlessly so even though I don’t have a yard they would get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. I give them lots of attention, have endless dog toys, and mostly get outside for several walks rain or shine. I have no problem with untrained dogs since I’m used to training every foster I’ve ever had.

“Yogi had such a wonderful time! It was obvious how much fun he had and how well cared for he was. Ruya went above and beyond with updates, sending lots of photos and videos. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear they treated our pup like their own. We’re so appreciative and will definitely recommend and book again!”

About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.

I have been surrounded by dogs since I was a young teen, and it will always be a part of my life. I do real estate for a living, but can never get enough of having furry friends around, it just lightens up my day whenever I am surrounded by them. This is why I decided to start my own pet services. I have been providing pet services for the doggies in the surrounding neighborhoods of Quincy, MA since my teenage years. I am a dog owner as well, so I know how to take care of other's dogs as if it was my own. I dedicated most of my life to our furry companions, as they stay loyally by our sides within their lifespan.

We give them a safe place to stay and give them whatever attention or care they need, according to the owners instructions. We know every dog has different care instructions so it will be best if everything is communicated thoroughly. I'm a Real Estate Broker so I mainly work off hours and by appointment. The dogs will have plenty of space to roam around in my backyard and will always have someone from my family to watch over them. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs will play around in, and they will be in company of other dogs as well. Plenty of space around my home for dogs to explore!

“Dayna agreed to take my 1 year old Shih Tzu, Jack on a last minute basis while I worked a few overnight shifts and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with her and Paul. She sent me photo updates throughout the evening and Jack honestly looked right at home! I can’t say enough good things about them- Thank you so much Dayna, Paul, Pumpkin and Louie!!”
