Was very patient with Sadie, who can be wary of strangers. Was able to be adaptable and help get her situated. Asked good questions, and was very caring.

Boning is a wonderful cat sitter! She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and our cats adore her. She is very communicative and sends great pictures. We have booked her multiple times and will continue to do so.

Emily did an excellent job of taking care of our beloved fur babies. She went over and above the call of duty, heading over to visit before the snowstorm and then trekking through thigh-deep snow before the snow removal folks did their job. She sent us updates and photos every day and adjusted their food based on what she noticed. We came home to happy kitties. Thank you, Emily.

About: Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my bed and furniture during their stay, ensuring they feel at home and comfortable. They enjoy daily walks, allowing them to explore the neighborhood and stay active. With a spacious backyard to run and play in, your dog will have plenty of room to burn off energy and enjoy their time here. I provide a relaxed and loving environment, so your dog can feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away. I’m available most weekends and can start boarding pets on Thursday evenings at 7:30 PM, giving you flexibility for early weekend getaways. I’m also usually home during major holidays, so you can count on me to provide dependable care when you need it most. Whether it's a short trip or a longer stay, I ensure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well-cared for throughout the year. With my flexible schedule and commitment to your pet’s well-being, you’ll always have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. In my home, your pet will enjoy a warm, welcoming environment with plenty of love and attention. I have a friendly French Bulldog who gets along well with other pets, providing companionship for your fur baby during their stay. If your pet prefers their own space or needs crate training, I also have a crate available for them to use, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. I offer a balance of freedom and structure, allowing pets to roam freely, play in the backyard, or relax in a quiet area if needed. Whether they need companionship or privacy, I tailor the care to suit your pet’s individual preferences and comfort level.

About: Hi, I’m Alex, and I run Dover Doggy Hotel & Daycare LLC! I cater to residents in the Needham, Wellesley, Dover, Medfield, Sherborn and Walpole areas. Your dogs, are my medicine. I don’t feel complete without one. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always believed that every pup deserves love, safety, and a cozy place to call home. I started out working for PETCO in aquatics in high school and fell in love with animals From 2012–2014, I served in the U.S. Peace Corps in Ukraine, where I taught English at the high school level in Dnipro, where I also co-managed an animal shelter caring for more than 150 dogs. During that time, I fostered Staffordshire Terriers, Pit Bulls, and other large breeds, gaining hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, large, high-energy dogs. Since then, I’ve continued caring for dogs of all sizes through fostering, boarding, and walking and daycare. Today, I mainly host small and medium sized dogs. I have a safe, fenced-in yard to play in, and plenty of cozy spots inside where pups are welcome on the couch (and yes, even in the bed if that’s what they’re used to!). I’m also happy to do drop-in visits for larger dogs at their own homes and walking. I also run a flexible,, multi option daycare program. I treat every dog like family, tailoring care to their needs—whether that’s long walks, lots of playtime, or just snuggles and companionship. I also have multiple client references available upon request. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’d love the chance to give them the care and attention they deserve! Right now, pet care is my top priority! I have a very open and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate full-time attention to the dogs I care for. While I do have the occasional online doctor’s appointment or small obligations, my days are wide open for walks, playtime, and socialization. I can comfortably care for up to 4* dogs in my home at a time, giving them lots of one-on-one attention. For walks and drop-in visits, I’m available for up to 4 dogs* (depending on size). My flexible routine means your pup will never feel rushed; just relaxed, loved, and cared for like family. Daily routine is up for first bathroom break out back at 8:30, walks and or dog park every day and another bathroom break at 9 -9:30. In bed by 10-10:30. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my #1 priority. I live on a 1 acre property with a gigantic fenced-in backyard where pups can play securely and safely. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax wherever they feel most comfortable….on the couch, in bed, or by my side. Trust is very important to me. I know how much pets mean to their families, so I treat every dog like my own, with patience, kindness, and consistency. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you’ll always know your pup is happy, safe, and cared for. There’s no other animals* (possibly another dog boarding) or children in the home to distract or to become an issue. When caring for a clients home, I treat it as if it were my own and offer extra services like bringing in mail & feeding fish & basic general tasks etc. I’m also offering (external method)gland expression at a $30 additional charge. If you would like to see the property you can take a virtual tour here and see where your dog will be staying and to get a sense of the size of the property upon request.

About: Our dog, Chapin, passed away a few years ago but lived a wonderful 15 years with us. For those 15 years, Linda Keenan was our “go-to” caregiver for weekday visits to check-in on him, take him outside and give him attention during our workdays. She was consistently reliable, conscientious, caring and loving to Chapin. I am available Monday through Friday from 12pm to 5pm. I would come by your home so your pet may have a bathroom break. Then I would provide some play time. I will come to your home to make sure that your pet is able to be in their familiar environment for bathroom and play time.

I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)

About: I am a behavioral scientist work in a hybrid model (go to office once a week) that spend a lot time researching about healthy living for my own furry baby and others🫶 I pay great attention to my dog's nutrient so that I cook fresh/organic for him and take him to hiking and dog parks. I would make beef and chicken jerky, cheese and carrot biscuits as treats. I basically moved from an apartment to a house for the sake of my dog. He was a 7-week puppy weighted 3 lb when I met him and now he’s 9 years old and 22lb, happy and healthy and kissed everyday! Now we moved together to New England since I graduated from my PhD program. Dogs love me but I adore them more!! I welcome house sitting for your furry friend 🙌👍 I’m a behavioral scientist for preventive oncology (in human) and I work a hybrid job, which means my schedule is quite flexible and I’d like to give my own dog potty breaks every 3 hours during the day. These breaks are often well deserved mental relief for myself between meetings as well. Love to cuddle, giving our fur babies a lot of love. Now I live in a one-bedroom apartment so the capacity for boarding is limited, but I’d love to visit your pet at your place and if they like car ride, I could definitely offer walks in the woods upon prior discussion and an extra charge

Lauren did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my dog! From the start, she was incredibly responsible, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care, and it was obvious that Lauren treated her like one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
