“Jennifer was so excited to meet Ruby and she clearly loves animals. He had a great day with her and her 2 little doggies. She even had gifts to send home with him. Highly recommend and Ruby will be thrilled to see her again soon!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels for most of my life, from helping friends and family to raising my own high-energy pup! I’m especially comfortable with active breeds and understand the importance of structure, routine, and mental stimulation—not just exercise. I take a thoughtful, attentive approach to every dog in my care, paying close attention to behavior, energy levels, and individual needs. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training, managing overstimulation, or just making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable, I aim to create a calm, consistent environment. My background in hospitality means I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. You can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your dog is being genuinely cared for—not just watched. I work from home doing consulting, which gives me a lot of flexibility to offer plenty of attention, potty breaks, and care for dogs staying in my home, as well as availability throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits around the North Shore. My GSP Milo is my constant work-from-home sidekick and is always happy to keep your pup company and play as much as they’d like! If your dog enjoys having a buddy, he can also join for walks or drop-in visits at your hose—but if they have more of preference for solo time, he’s more than happy to sit that one out. Whether I’m hosting your dog, visiting your home, or taking them out for a walk, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved—with a good dose of fun mixed in. I take a thoughtful, low-stress approach and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, energy level, and boundaries. Introductions to new friends (furry or human!) are always done slowly and intentionally so everyone feels comfortable. I aim to keep a structured but relaxed environment that helps dogs settle in without becoming overwhelmed. I’m happy to follow any routines or preferences you have—whether that’s crate training, sleep setup, feeding guidelines, or walk style—and I always provide regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Potty breaks are typically every 2 hours or so, and more frequently for puppies or senior dogs as needed. I’m also very active (running, hiking, getting outside whenever I can), so I’m always happy to give higher-energy dogs the exercise they need, while still making sure they have time to rest and reset. I’m comfortable administering medications or supplements as needed, and with a young pup at home, our space is already very dog-friendly—puppy-proofed, with gates available for separation if needed, plenty of toys, and multiple crate options to help every dog feel safe and settled.

“Emmitt loved Renee and hated to leave. She seemed very happy with her stay. Renee was a joy to talk to and I received many updated throughout Emmitt’s stay. I hope to use her services again in the near future.”

“Masha is amazing! I knew Luna was in caring hands from the first moment I met Masha. She was always responsive and sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. Luna came home happy and tired from all her adventures with Masha. We will definitely be using her again to watch Luna!”

About: I have been always a pet lover since my childhood I grow up around many different species of animals. I had rabbits, small birds, big parrots , guinea pigs, and many stray cats and dogs that my family rescued from the streets of Brazil which is my original place of birth. I think the joy, companionship and unconditional love they give to us It’s priceless. Pets are amazing and very special to me because they make my life so much happier. I work most days from home as a dog groomer, which give me the flexibility to play with my puppies and yours during the day and take care of their needs at night. I have two friendly golden retrievers names, Rocky and Skyla they enjoy to play and meet new friends. I currently offer play groups two times per week at my house where they can get to play and run around with other dogs. I also have a huge backyard all fenced and with cameras to make sure our babies are safe and secured all the time. During the summer, they can enjoy themselves playing inside the dog pool with sprinklers and doing other water activities to freshen up but if they prefer they can just relax under the shade of the one many trees in the backyard . They are going to feel that they are in a pet resort where they can run free and happy during their stay. Pick up and drop off are available near my area as well a discount on GROOMING for new guests.. I accept dogs of any age and with any limitations and physical disability If you are looking for someone reliable and trustful to take care of your fur baby I am here to help you . Thank you and I am looking forward to meet you and your pet soon. 🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕‍🦺 I work from home most days which allows me to spend a lot of time with my dogs and play with them outside in the backyard. My backyard is all fenced and we have cameras but even so the dogs are never left alone outside . All plants and flowers are safe for pets so you don’t need to worry about them eating anything dangerous.

“Beth was so great! She was super friendly and quick to respond. Our pup had a great time during her stay and we’d definitely use her again!”

“Recently, our dog Annie, spent the day with Tina. Tina was amazing! The second we walked into her home it was evident how much she loves animals!! We knew our dog was in experienced and capable hands with Tina. We were sent pictures of Annie and received updates on how her day was going. We highly recommend Tina and look forward to booking with her again!?”

“Paula was great with my lil Lola! We had a meet and greet the day before day care and she got to visit some of the pups! I picked her up with her tail wagging! She definitely got all her energy exhurted with all the puppy play! She took a nice long nap when we got home! Highly recommend Paula to look after your beloved fur baby! Will definitely be going back!”

About: Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me for years to give loving care to their cats, dogs, and critters—and every walk and snuggle brings so much joy! I’ve also volunteered at a local shelter for a decade, from cleaning floors and cages to TNR programs and have ultimate patience and respect for each individual animal. I currently work remotely three days a week (with incredible flexibility!) and am looking to share my skills with those, like me, who travel and need that sense of comfort knowing their pets are in the best hands. I will always have a debrief with the client and stay connected as much as they need about the home, rules, and safety measures to ensure their pet is protected.

About: I have pet and house-sat every summer since I started college. I am very thorough and want to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I have worked with anxious dogs, big dogs, stand-offish cats, and generally "problematic" pets. I know that pets thrive on routine so I try and gather as much information on the pet's normal day to emulate that and keep the pet comfortable. I can be as active or chill as needed so your pet can have a good time! I am currently a Ph.D. student at BU. I’m not taking classes and have a work from home research program. I can be very flexible with days and times of day. I prefer to work during the weekdays but can really make any time work. I take extra care with pets in my home. I have pet proofed my environment to make sure there is nothing laying about that is unsafe for pets.

“Diaralyz and her family took such good care of our puppy! He got to interact and socialize properly and the best part was receiving pictures and videos of him playing and living his best life. We highly recommend Diaralyz and we will be coming again with our little dog.”
