Pet Boarding Winthrop

“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”

“Brooklyn watched our Sydney for a quick overnight. She was very kind and responsive. Very accommodating of our pup's schedule and needs. We felt very at ease knowing she was in good hands”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years as a dog mom to three very different pups, each of whom taught me something different about caring for dogs. I’ve cared for a disabled dog who required daily hands-on care and mobility assistance, a large senior dog, and a nervous/reactive dog. Because my own dogs had needs that made leaving them with someone else stressful, I understand how important it is to find someone you truly trust. I was always the nervous dog mom asking a million questions and worrying while I was away, so my goal is to give other dog parents the peace of mind I always wanted. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, mobility needs, medications, diapers and hygiene care, nervous or anxious pups, and dogs who simply need a little more patience and understanding. These days my home is a little quieter, and I have a lot of dog-mom love with nowhere to go. I’d love to give your pup a safe, comfortable home away from home where they can settle in, be loved, and be treated like one of my own while you’re away. I’m a consultant with a flexible schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Our mornings are pretty flexible, so your pup’s day can start with a walk, breakfast, potty time, and plenty of attention before I begin my day. On the days I do go into work, I plan my schedule around the pups staying with me and aim to never leave them alone for more than 3–4 hours at a time. Whether your dog is used to being crated when home alone or prefers to free roam, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. My boyfriend also lives with me and will be part of their care. He is home after 2 PM Tuesday through Saturday, and I don’t work weekends, so between the two of us there is plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping your pup company. I know every dog is different, so I want their stay with me to feel as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m happy to follow your pup’s feeding, walking, medication, sleeping, and crating routine, including dogs who are more comfortable having their own space. I live in a dog-friendly area of East Boston with the waterfront and beach right behind me, so there are plenty of options for walks and outdoor time. I also understand that a dog-friendly neighborhood isn’t necessarily ideal for every dog. If your pup is reactive, nervous, or uncomfortable around other dogs, I’m comfortable adjusting our walking route and schedule to give them the space they need. I also have a dog stroller available for senior dogs or pups with mobility limitations who still enjoy getting outside. Most importantly, I’ll never force your dog into an environment or interaction they aren’t comfortable with. I want your pup to feel safe here and you to feel comfortable knowing their individual needs are being respected.

“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”

“Charlie loves Ilya’s place and all the fun friends he meets on a visit. Ilya has been so helpful and flexible with drop off and pickup times while my apartment is having realtor showings and I’ve been on longer work trips, saving me a lot of stress!”

“Tiffany and Steve boarded our dog Ralphie for 8 days. We tried their daycare services out a few times prior to leaving Ralphie for 8days so he would feel more comfortable with them. After only two day visits Ralphie, who is in a fearful stage of people he doesn’t know, took right to Tiffany and Steve due to their caring and attentive nature. Needless to say the 8 days of boarding went great. Lots of updates and even helpful tips for some new dog parents like us. We willl continue to send Ralphie to Tiffany and Steve for daycare trips and overnights. We highly recommend.”

“Linda was so kind and sweet withy dog. She sent updates and pictures. She has a great dog-friendly couch my dog loved, and she got non-skid mats to make sure my dog was comfortable. My dog is elderly so can either be sleepy and peaceful or need a little extra TLC, and Linda took great care of her. She was attentive to my dog’s needs, health, and comfort. I would be happy to trust Linda with my dog’s care again!”

Alyson H.

“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”

Colie C.

“Vanessa and Diana took amazing care of our dog! They were incredibly flexible when we needed to push our pickup time back a few hours. I could not recommend them highly enough!”

Carley G.

“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”

Jessica S.

“Aurora is an amazing sitter for our black lab Iris. She’s the number one person I trust to take care of my fur baby while I’m away. She’s dependable and responsible.”

Alana O.

“Maryah did a great job taking care of Alfie. She was quick to respond to my messages and provided me updates on Alfie. When I went to pick up Alfie, I could see he was very well taken care of. Thank you, Maryah!”

Diana H.

“Tianyue took great care of Elliot. She sent lots of photos and managed his medications and eye drops very well. I felt super comfortable leaving Elliot with her for nearly a week.”

Meghan S.

“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”

Samantha H.

“Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.”

Devin S.

“Richard and his gf were amazing, very responsive and periodically sent pictures and updates without us asking. 10000% would recommend and use again”

Johnny H.

“Joe and Adam were awesome with Livey, she can be a lot because she has so much energy, but they made sure to give her plenty of exercise and stimulation as I had instructed, and were responsive and willing to ask questions if necessary”

Robyn R.

“Zoe was great taking care of Rosie. She communicated well and it was clear that Rosie really enjoyed her stay and even got to see Zoe’s office :) I will definitely book Zoe again! Thank you!”

Christian H.

“We’ve left our dog Oscar with Sarah a couple times now, and she’s been super responsive and accommodating, kept us updated, and Oscar always seems happy to see her and in a great mood when we pick him up!”

Alexandra P.

“Jhoanna took care of Olive like she was her own! I got tons of updates and quick responses that reassured me Olive was in the best hands possible. I’d use Jhoanna any time again in the future.”
