“Absolute gem of a sitter! Bella had a great time with Dawn and her family for two nights. They are incredibly nice caring people. They took great care of Bella and provided updates with photos throughout the stay. I recommend Dawn be everyone’s first choice!”
“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”
“Elizabeth was able to accommodate my last minute request to care for my pup overnight. She saved the day, and my pup was well cared-for and came home a very happy (and tired) camper.”
“We had an excellent experience with Michael! He watched our three dogs for a week, and they were in great hands the entire time. Our pups aren’t used to being boarded or staying with anyone outside the family, but he was incredibly patient and made them feel comfortable. He kept us updated throughout the week, which gave us real peace of mind. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future—highly recommend!”
“Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Felicia, was fantastic with both of my dogs. Very communicative, provided daily updates on how both doggies were doing. I felt at ease during my vacation because my dogs were in great hands. I would recommend her to all my family and friends. Definitely using her for pet boarding services in the future.”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“It was so nice to be able to go on vacation without worrying about Tootsie for the first time! I mean not a single worry! Makes for a much better vacation! Leslie was so nice and patient! It took Tootsie a day to settle in and once she was I know tootsie was very comfortable. She sent daily pictures and updates which gave me further assurance. You just don’t get that from a boarding place even though they promise that. Tootsie is a rather “needy” dog but like a 2nd child. I could tell she was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to call Leslie again and if you are reading this review, rest assured your dog will be in great hands! Thanks Leslie!!”
“Erinn was amazing with our Prince. She kept us updated with pictures and videos our whole vacation. She also kept our pup active. We knew from the moment we first met that she was a perfect match for us. When we tried to say our goodbyes to Prince he didnt even want to say bye, he just jumped right into the car with Erinn. We will definitely be using Erinn again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Judy was awesome with my dog, Cody! Her upbeat personality and love of dogs was so evident- and my dog really enjoyed her yard- he kept running in circles! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay- I definitely hope to book with Judy again!”
“Jaeyoung was great! I accidentally scheduled her to watch my dog on the wrong date and she was very communicative and flexible around my schedule. My dog came back safe and happy, I would recommend Jaeyoung and hope to have her watch my dog again.”
“Liliya and her family took great care of our dog Luna while we were out of town, and we felt very comfortable that Luna was in great hands with them. We also loved getting lots of updates and photos. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we’re away. :) Thank you Liliya!”
“Nancy did an outstanding job taking care of Rusty. Rusty is a very senior dog with special needs and Nancy did a great job of dealing with his needs. Nancy is a very kind and caring towards dogs and was very attentive. I highly recommend Nancy.”
“Our golden retriever was well cared for and obviously comfortable with Thomas and Amy. Thomas took the time to give our pup a good brushing, and he was happy upon pickup. Would recommend and use in the future!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our older aged GSD. Her retriever got along great with our dog and we were very pleased with the level of care provided for our pup when it came to food accommodations (our pup gets anxious when we leave and struggles to eat sometimes). Needless to say, Sarah went above and beyond and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the extraordinary care for our dog as well as all of the communication and photos she provided during the stay. Lastly, Sarah was quite flexible and accommodating with meet and greets, drop off times and pickup times. 10/10 and highly recommend! Thank you Sarah!”

Andre and his family are such wonderful and kind people. They were very welcoming when we brought our boys over for their introduction before booking for the weekend stay. The updates throughout the weekend via text were a delight to see. As much as we missed the boys we felt so easy to know they truly were in great hands with Andre and family. We will definitely book again.
This was Milo’s first stay with Dawn. My regular dog sitter was away so I reached out to find a back-up. Dawn was very responsive and was able to schedule a meet-and-greet within a few days, which went well. Their home has a fantastic backyard that’s perfect for running and playing, and Milo got plenty of outdoor time and activity during his stay. Milo is an anxious dog, so being in a new environment was definitely a little challenging for him. Dawn, Kevin, and the kids were incredibly patient and gave him lots of TLC. They even went the extra mile and put down blankets and rugs when Milo was hesitant to walk on the wood floors! It was clear that they genuinely cared about making Milo feel comfortable and safe. I really appreciated the patience and kindness they showed him, and I would definitely have Milo stay with them again in the future!
Tamara did a fantastic job watching our dog Max. He was well cared for and we could tell he really enjoyed his stay. Tamara is always caring and responsive, and was able to accommodate our drop off and pick up times so. We highly recommend Tamara and Jerimiah, and will certainly be using them again.
Alexis took such wonderful care of our Goldendoodle, Walden, and treated him like one of her own. Walden and Brewer became fast friends. It was clear he was happy and well cared for while we were away. We would absolutely trust Alexis with Walden again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pup.

Lauren was a lifesaver for taking our last-minute booking. She took great care of Champ and sent regular photo updates. A huge thanks to Gavin for helping with the heavy crate, too, he moved it to and from the car on his own without us even asking. Champ came home happy, well-fed, and on his regular routine. Highly recommend them if you need a reliable team! We will definitely be booking with her again.

91% of sitters in Worcester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Worcester home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Worcester.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Worcester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
