“Sarah and her family took amazing care of Kilo from 9/12 to 9/14. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process stress-free. It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Brownie had a great time with her! She did an excellent job taking care of Brownie and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing Brownie was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“It’s hard leaving your fur babies, but we were so happy with Shatane and the love and care she gave our babies that we are planning our next getaway! She gives amazing updates and pictures that had us laughing out loud. I can’t say enough about her, she’s the best!”
“The absolute best!!! Lucky was the lucky one to get such incredible care. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Will always book here first!! A+ care!!!! Highest recommendation!”
“Nadya was wonderful. She responded within minutes accepting our next day request for daycare for our puppy. She communicated throughout the day with pictures and was a joy to talk to. I could not ask for a better experience for me and my puppy. She put my mind at ease, and by the end of the day, it felt like Buddy had spent the day with a best friend. Thank you Nadya! I really can't recommend you enough. <3”
“Sheryl is just about the best dog sitter you could ask for! She made sure my Teddie was super comfortable in her home, gave him constant love and affection, and always made sure there was someone available to play with him. She also gave me daily updates which helped me feel more comfortable while I was away! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“We left our 15 year old Brittany, Dudley, with Kelsie for nearly 2 weeks on very short notice. Kelsie made our international trip so much easier knowing that Dudley was part of her family. She sent photos daily and was great about keeping him on leash when outside. Our first time using Kelsie, but we will definitely be calling on her again should we need boarding for Dudley.”
“Very glad we got to board our Lab Eddy with Matt and Jennifer. They were always providing updates and pictures and quick to respond. Very nice people, can’t wait to have our dog stay with them again!”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“A great environment for large, energetic dogs who need to burn off energy on long walks and play sessions in the backyard. Daran is knowledgeable and cares deeply for animals entrusted to him. A great option for extended stays and day visits.”
“Shiloh was well taken care of during his five days with Debra and her family, and he loved running in her huge high-fenced yard with her doggies. I will definitely consider leaving him with Debar on future trips.”

I am happy to send pictures and text messages during a visit/feeding if so desired. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Duxbury
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up begging for a dog. After college, I brought home my first dog—a golden retriever who was the center of my world. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all kinds: high-energy, troublemakers, dogs with medical needs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. After meeting my husband, we added a rescue to our household and regularly help care for and babysit dogs for family and friends. After saying goodbye to my beloved Golden, our house has felt a little empty. While we’re not ready to add another full time dog, we love welcoming an extra companion to our home for short term stays! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve while you’re away. I am a mom of two young children and currently at home with them and our rescue dog. I said goodbye to my senior golden last year and have missed having that extra companion. I have plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, and lots of time to devote to your dog. I have a dog-safe, child-proof home. My yard is partially fenced, and I also have an electric fence available for dogs trained to use one (my dog does not use it). My house is located in a quiet, wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks and low-traffic roads—perfect for safe, enjoyable walks.
About: I love dogs and walking outside! I have my own golden doodle. I work from home and would have a lot of availability throughout the week🙂 I work from home and am available throughout the day for dog walking services. I have a lot of flexibility and would love to walk your dog for you! I have a fenced in yard and I am in a safe neighborhood. I always make sure the dogs are on a leash etc. my home is very dog friendly.

About: Hello friends! My name is Taylor and I am 32 years old. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I’m lucky enough to fill that space by caring for a wide variety of other people’s pets and giving them my full attention. With six years of experience pet sitting, I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, bunnies, fish, and chickens. I also spent 5 years in the Plymouth County 4-H program, where I trained, groomed, showed, and cared for dogs throughout Massachusetts. That experience taught me how to read animal behavior and follow structured routines. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy taking the time to learn what makes them happy. While your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates along with photos/videos. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work full-time as a 911 operator. This schedule includes weeknight shifts from 4pm-12am, excluding Fridays. Because of this, I usually suggest that your animal is accustomed to time apart or there’s someone who’s available to check in while I’m working. I care for pets in their own homes whenever possible to keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner.
“Trish was amazing with my Nami! I am an extremely anxious dog owner and she ensured that both Nami and I had a great first experience. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and Nami didn’t want to leave when I went to pick her up because she had SO much fun! Highly recommend!”
“Eileen was perfect! She took in my dog Blue for the day at the last minute, was very responsive to messages on the app and texts, and kept me updated with plenty of pictures throughout the day. Blue came home as happy as can be and will be sleeping for the next few days I'm sure. Will definitely be using Eileen in the future, highly recommend!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and love spending time with them. I’ve cared for my own pets for years, including raising and training my current dog, who is now four years old. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications if applicable, and I always treat animals with love and respect. While most of my experience is personal, I bring a reliable and caring approach to every pet as if they were my own! I work from home four days a week, and I am usually local on weekends, so my schedule is flexible. I’m home throughout the day and can provide potty breaks when needed and playtime during lunch hour and in the evenings. My schedule makes it easy to pop by during lunch or evenings to check in, feed, and give some love and attention as needed. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a labrador retriever who gets along with other animals and a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play. I keep a close eye on all pets, maintain their usual routines, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved. I prefer to host pets who know basic commands and can respect my dog and home.
“Jaime and family were kind and communicative. This was my first time having her sit for Suzi Q and she made me feel that she was safe in her family's hands. It was also a plus that my dog got along with hers and Suziwas able to get out her energy in their fenced in yard.”
“Julia takes wonderful care of Fox. He is so excited to see her in the morning and comes home exhausted after being there. She always gives Fox the attention he needs and makes him feel comfortable which is so important because he has separation anxiety. I can leave Fox with Julia and know he will be well taken care of”
“Jeremy & Rui were great! Needed last minute day care on a Holiday and they were able to take our Millie. She had other pup friends to play with and they were great with communication. Would stay with them again!”

About: I grew up with dogs within my family and through friends. I watched my neighbors dogs throughout high school, as well as the dogs for the families I babysat for. I also currently have a dog of almost 4 years, so I understand the level of attention a dog may need especially in the training years. I’m currently working a full-time hybrid job, so I am home and available Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays before 8:30am, between 12:00pm and 1:00pm, and after 5:00pm. I am completely available on weekends. I will care for your pet however you would like for me to. I can provide sitting, walking and feeding services and I am flexible!
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, especially dogs. My first pup was an Irish Setter when I was just four, and over the years my family rescued many dogs — including plenty of Basset Hounds — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of breeds and personalities. I’m now a cat owner as well — it’s a new experience, but one I’ve grown to love. At the moment, I’m available nearly every day, including weekends, thanks to a flexible work schedule. I’m happy to work around your needs and adjust as things come up. My kids are fully grown, so I have some more time on my hands! I’m completely comfortable crating dogs when needed, and I’m confident handling daily walks, potty breaks, and general exercise routines to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and well‑cared for.
About: Due to my current employment situation, I have lots of schedule flexibility to suit the needs of your animals. I have been caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes since I was young and have done it on a more regular basis over the past 8 years. I have grown up always having dogs and cats so I am extremely familiar with caring for animals. Even the most skeptical dogs quickly trust me for my loving nature. I am always prepared to pay full attention to any animals in my care and to respond to any challenging situations that may come up. I truly love animals and am very excited at the opportunity to help others with the care and support of their furry friends! Your pet’s day will look exactly like it does when you’re with them! I pride myself on helping dogs to keep their routines. I am happy to offer whatever enrichment activities we discuss for your pet such as car rides, dog parks, play dates etc but also understand these are not for every dog so will never do anything we didn’t explicitly clear. I am very adamant about understanding the ways you keep your pet safe at home. I am extremely cautious when coming and going. I keep an eye on all pets in yards, even when they don’t typically require this. In 15 years of dogsitting, I have only had one dog slip away from me and handled it quickly and safely.

“Sarah and her family took amazing care of Kilo from 9/12 to 9/14. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process stress-free. It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Brownie had a great time with her! She did an excellent job taking care of Brownie and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing Brownie was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“It’s hard leaving your fur babies, but we were so happy with Shatane and the love and care she gave our babies that we are planning our next getaway! She gives amazing updates and pictures that had us laughing out loud. I can’t say enough about her, she’s the best!”
“The absolute best!!! Lucky was the lucky one to get such incredible care. Cannot say enough wonderful things. Will always book here first!! A+ care!!!! Highest recommendation!”
“Nadya was wonderful. She responded within minutes accepting our next day request for daycare for our puppy. She communicated throughout the day with pictures and was a joy to talk to. I could not ask for a better experience for me and my puppy. She put my mind at ease, and by the end of the day, it felt like Buddy had spent the day with a best friend. Thank you Nadya! I really can't recommend you enough. <3”
“We left our 15 year old Brittany, Dudley, with Kelsie for nearly 2 weeks on very short notice. Kelsie made our international trip so much easier knowing that Dudley was part of her family. She sent photos daily and was great about keeping him on leash when outside. Our first time using Kelsie, but we will definitely be calling on her again should we need boarding for Dudley.”
“Very glad we got to board our Lab Eddy with Matt and Jennifer. They were always providing updates and pictures and quick to respond. Very nice people, can’t wait to have our dog stay with them again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 9. I’ve owned aggressive / reactive dogs, dogs who need a lot of management, sport dogs, working dogs, and other animals with special needs. My personal dogs are elderly now and need more special care and I conduct all of it. I currently work a part time job Monday-Thursday from 9-3. My weekends are generally free as well! Overall my schedule is incredibly flexible. I have a well fenced in yard and basement entirely dedicated to dogs! You can look us up at Angie’s pet care (Middleboro Mass). But our boarding dogs are allowed to be on the other floors with us (only when supervised) but someone is home majority of the day.
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Shiloh was well taken care of during his five days with Debra and her family, and he loved running in her huge high-fenced yard with her doggies. I will definitely consider leaving him with Debar on future trips.”
“A great environment for large, energetic dogs who need to burn off energy on long walks and play sessions in the backyard. Daran is knowledgeable and cares deeply for animals entrusted to him. A great option for extended stays and day visits.”
