“Allison was great! She sent us texts and pictures, and we could see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. Our dogs were welcomed like part of her family. We were very happy with her thoughtful and caring nature.”


“Sandra was very accommodating and welcoming. This was our first experience with having someone other than family care for Chase. He seemed at ease and well cared for. We will definitely rebook with Sandra and cannot thank her enough for making this process easy.”


“Patti and her family took such great care of Luka while we were away. She got so much love and Luka was sad to leave when we came to pick her up. She will definitely miss the amazing yard! I know she will be very excited to go back when our family goes away again. Thank you Patti for loving our sweet girl and taking such good care of her.”


“James took care of Oreo for 2 weeks during the holidays, he was always responsive to messages and send pictures every couple of days! Definitely would recommend! Thanks for all the help”


“Shanagay sent regular updates and photos that showed me that Maggie Mae was in good hands. The sitter's proximity to my home makes it easy to get care for Maggie when I am away.”


“We boarded our dog, Guinness, with Heather and Norman for two days, and they were absolutely wonderful! Heather and Norman were sweet and took excellent care of Guinness. They took him for walks and even sent us photos. It was clear that Guinness and their dog, Zeus, got along so well and had a great time playing together. Now that he's home, Guinness seems sad and misses Zeus. We will definitely use Heather and Norman's services again. Highly recommended!”



“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”


“This was William's second time staying at Aishea's and I'm glad to hear that he was more relaxed and interactive with her pets. She genuinely seems to care about my pet's wellbeing. She responds very quickly to requests and messages and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely book with Aishea again.”

Steve and Deb took great care of him. They sent photos every day. They wanted to know all they could do to make him happy and comfortable. He seemed to enjoy playing with their dogs. We will definitely use them again.”


“I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog with Katie! She did a great job reassuring me that my dog would do fine and she would text me if there were any issues. She also sent me a picture throughout the day. I would definitely go to her again.”


“Kim took great care of our two dogs for a long weekend. We would definitely board our dogs with her again! She kept in contact with us, sent pictures of the dogs, and drop off and pick up was incredibly smooth.”


“Our dog, Otis's first weekend stay with John seemed to be a success!!! Otis was tired and happy after romping with other dogs also boarding. Otis will be coming back for a longer stay very soon!”

Super happy with a great first visit ... I would not hesitate at all to bring him back. Plus her pups are friendly and Blue had a great time with them, including playing with the fam in the yard. He's out cold right now, the sign of a fun and active day.”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog mom for my entire adult life, opting for fur babies over physical children. I’m the proud momma of a Yorkie, German Shepherd and Bernese Mountain Dog. I also volunteer as a foster with New England Puppy Rescue (NEPR). I believe that sharing our lives with dogs is one of life’s greatest joys. And while there’s few things I enjoy more than cozy days home with my babies, I also have a strong passion for travel. For years I have tried an assortment of different pet sitters and it’s been a bit frustrating. We’ve had sitters where their prices jumped substantially without warning. Ones that have promised to send photos and then provided minimal updates during their stay. And others that were hard to coordinate dates with. But worst of all we’ve dealt with too many that didn’t quite feel like the right fit. They lacked that feeling of warmth and connection. Over these experiences I have learned that it can feel impossible at times to find the care that truly puts your mind at peace. And so I’ve decided to become that in which I seek. I want to be a safe haven for others - so that when you’re out of town you can feel the truest sense of comfort knowing your beloved pets are in the best care possible. Not only will I treat your dogs like they’re my own - spoiled with plenty of playtime and affection - but I will provide daily report cards and beautiful candid photos. I am a firm believer in building relationships with my clientele so you’ll feel comfortable each and every time you need my care. My three dogs are incredibly sweet and will also make for great hosts, if you should decide to have us watch your little cutie in our home. We have a beautiful, spacious partially fenced in yard. A fenced in pool with its own puppy deck for those hot days when the pups want to bask in a few inches of splash time (life jackets are an option). We also have a gated deck so everyone can hang outside together without any concern of wildlife. For drop-in dog walking visits, I can come with my Bernese Mountain Dog if you prefer. So your angel gets some puppy playtime while we get their exercise in. I am flexible to make sure you’re getting the customized care your little one needs. I even offer an add-on option of airport pickup and dropoff if you’re traveling. Whatever you need, I’m willing to work with you to become your trusted go-to for your pet’s needs. I work entirely remote so I’m with my dogs nearly 24/7. Whether lounging around at home, enjoying playtime outside in the yard or going for nice walks my life is devoted to my own fur family. And I’d love to pay it forward and offer my devoted care to your pets for those times when you can’t be nuzzled up at home with them. My dogs are treated like family. They have full run of the house with toys scattered about. On beautiful days we hang out for hours on our gated deck. And in the summertime they love coming out to our fenced in pool for playtime complete with a sun shelf which serves as a fun, puppy splash pad. Every moment is fully supervised. Especially when we are outdoors. Our backyard is partially fenced but for all of our fur-guests I will be personally taking them out on leash for potty breaks. While our dogs are incredibly obedient and frolick about off-leash in our yard I never want to chance an escape artists for our fur-guests. My dogs love to snuggle on the couches and bed and we never deny them that. Which is the same way we’d welcome a new friend into the mix. We’re used to dog hair everywhere :) For dog walking visits I can come solo or bring along my sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, Willie. Whichever you prefer! Whatever your needs - just ask. I’m happy to accommodate your little one.

My husband and I had a trip planned and she picked us up the morning of, dropped us off at the airport and took Millie back to her home to watch her for the week. It put the biggest smile on my face getting tons of photo updates and a daily report card (so cute!) Can not recommend Vanessa enough! Will definitely use her again for future trips.”
