“Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Great experience boarding Summer for 3 days! They sent updates daily and were very easy to communicate with. They even got Summer special treats!”
“Our 2 dogs stayed with Nally for a week while we were away. She offered to meet us prior to the booking, which I took her up on since I don’t like to book blindly and we had never met. Her communications were always prompt and she sent pictures while we were away. She was very flexible with coordinating pick up and drop off. Both of my guys came back happy and tired! They were happy to have some other dogs to play with too. I would not hesitate to re-book with her.”

“We could not be more thankful for Jing and her family’s wonderful care of our pup! It was clear that Harper had a blast and was treated as a part of Jing’s family. While we were away, Jing’s intermittent photo updates with Harper let us know our puppy was enjoying her own vacation. Jing also went out of her way to help us coordinate pickup times when our travel plans changed. We hope Harper has a chance to stay with Jung again sometime in the future- we know she would love it.”

“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!”

“The dogs RAN up and into Casey's place wagging when drop off, and came out happy, even more spoiled, shinier and somehow smelling nicer?! when picked up. 😆 This is our 52774th time boarding with Casey and we cannot thank her and recommend her to others enough. Casey is extremely thoughtful and attentive to details, and even has now built with our dogs their own routine that put the dogs at ease and peace. Thank you thank you thank you.”

About: Hello :) my name is Elena, I've had the privilege of owning two gorgeous Bombay cats since I was 10 years old. My soul kitty, Sofia, passed away last year, I live with her brother Simon and he is happy and healthy with hyperthyroidism. I have experience with shy cats, friendly cats, administering meds to cats, maintaining rigid feeding schedules, introducing cats to each other—all the care and keeping that comes with cats, I have done! I am also a very clean person: I really try to make sure the cats can have as neat and tidy a space us humans and believe it improves their quality of life! I have many close friends (whose cats are my nieces and nephews) who can vouch for me being a proper cat lady :) Please ask any questions you'd like and tell me about your cat!

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was in 5th grade. Whether I went to the owners house or they came to mine, I treated them with love and kindness. I’ve worked with little, medium, and big dogs, and they have been long term clients! People actually call me the dog whisperer! I work from home every day so i will be home with your pups! they can relax with me around the house or go out with me for errands or anything else! I treat them with love and plenty of play time! Dogs are allowed on our beds and furniture, so they will get lots of cuddles! I allow them to explore the house so they can get comfortable in the new environment and let them warm up to me so they are not scared. I have a big park just right across from me, I am in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get great walks. I also have a big back yard they can lounge around!

About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
“Anastasia did an amazing job looking after Pearl! Traveling from out of state and she made me feel so comfortable leaving Pearl for the day when I needed to work. Took loads of photos to keep me updated. Will definitely be booking again when back in Boston.”
“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!”
