Pet Boarding in Worcester

About: Hi, my name is Asia. I am an animal owner, caretaker, enthusiast, and most importantly LOVER! I have been in the pet industry for quite some time now, and along my journey have picked up many skills in pet caretaking and handling. I have knowledge in areas of medicine, handling, care taking, walking, and FUN! Through my journey, I have worked as a veterinary technician for about five years, and after the pandemic, with time realized that I wanted to see more happy animals than hurt. Although it is an indescribable reward to see and help our beloved pets heal, it is a heavy toll to bare that I have recognized is not what I wanted to continue growing a career in. Instead, I have decided to venture into an entrepreneurial life, with hopes of opening up my own pet spa and hotel, to care and treat your furry angels, while you and the family are away. My goal is to expand my expertise, and use this platform to build up a steady clientele list to transfer over to my future establishment *manifesting!*. I have a strong love and passion for all animals of all species and sizes. I have 7 years of hands on animal experience. I attended Worcester Tech for high school, and graduated with an AVA through the veterinary assisting program. I then got hired by my co-opportunity job site through high school, and continued to work there as I was being trained in veterinary technician schools. I then moved to Colorado, for a few months, and worked as a veterinary technician at an emergency/GP for eight months, being trained in more and more technical skills. I now try and take continuing education courses, and educate myself on the veterinary world as well as zoology, to try and work around my extenuating circumstances currently prohibiting me from school. I am knowledgeable of the different diseases your furry friends may have, as well as how to properly manage and care for them. I get my work schedules a month in advance and try to be as flexible as possible so don’t hesitate to reach with any questions. I believe I can be the perfect fit as a caregiver to all of your furry legged friends, due to my experience, passion, and a positive attitude. Any questions that you have, feel free to ask, and I'm excited to work with you and beloved pet(s). I currently work at a veterinary hospital and love to continue my job of caring for our furry friends outside of my day job as well. I also come home to my 3 cats and 2 dogs, so pet care for me is never ending, just like the love I have for them. When your pets are in my care, they will be closely monitored with care. We’ll get to know each, spend time together, go slow if we have to, and overall get acclimated to one another to create an overall stress free experience for everyone, during the times we are together I am pretty flexible, however the sooner the better. Most of the time, I am able to adjust my schedule to align with my bookings. First come, first serve. I will keep a close eye and watch on your furry loved ones at all times. I pay close attention to behavior and body language during all visits, as those are key take aways

“James took amazing care of our Bella. He sent pictures of their daily walks and playtimes with his dog and other pups. She looked happy and “right at home” while we enjoyed our vacation.”

Deborah K.

“Very nice family. They played tug of war with Daisy, walked her, and gave her the morning banana as requested. They have a great side yard for dogs to run. Would definitely ask them to host Daisy again!!”

Suzanne R.

“Kathy was great through out my dogs stay. Very communicative and flexible with drop off and pick up. She sent a lot of pictures and regular check points. Overall very happy with kathy and would definitely recommend.”

Hector J.

“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!”

“We left Benny with Erica for 2 weeks and we were very happy with the daily photo updates. We felt very relaxed that he was in good hands. Thanks again!”

Gina G.

“Jasper had the best time with Radhika and her family! She sent me updates and cute pictures throughout his stay, took him on lots of walks, and gave him lots of love. I’m so thankful I was able to find someone with experience to watch my high energy pup!”

“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”

“My pup just came back from her first time boarding at Shayna's and all went very well. We had done a meet and greet previously just to be sure that all the doggies got along, and they seemed to do great together during this overnight. I was happy to hear about lots of activity time between walks as well as group play in a nice shady backyard. Both my pup and I looking forward to having her stay again at Shayna's soon!”

About: I have always been surrounded by dogs most of my life. I have fostered more than 30+ dogs for an NGO. All dogs of all varying sizes and ages were welcome in my home. They were all loved and in a span of few weeks we could visibly see the transformation - from a scared pup to a happy carefree dog. I will make sure your dog is taken care of and treated with love and respect. I believe dog's our our greatest gifts and our family. I work in a public school and will be avaiable to watch your dog or board them during weekends and school vacations. During the regular school year I am available to board your dog on weekends. I have a fenced yard and 2 fur babies to keep your dog company. Your dog will have plenty of exercise (as needed). I will make sure your dog has a safe place he/she can use (crate) when they need it. The dogs will have access to plenty of chew toys and bones. I have 2 teenage boys who will also take care of your dog and play with him or her.

“Josie was amazing with my pup! Not only was she very communicative, she was very thoughtful and assuring that my pup would be taken care of ! My pup loved it there and came back happy and even more energetic! I would highly recommend Josie and definitely plan to rebook in the future !!”

Kristin C.

“Theses are the ultimate sitters my girl is spoiled and I would recommend them to all . She had a lovely welcoming home . My Nola fell in love . Great family !”

Lois M.

“Gabriel is a wonderful guy, it is obvious how caring he is with the dogs. The videos were wonderful seeing our furry family member while away. I will definitely use Gabriel for my next need of Doggy Care”

Dave O.

“We’ve used Rover five times now and I would say that I was the most happy and comforted with Sweta watching Bruin. She shared multiple pictures and videos every day and was flexible enough to let him stay another day when our flights were delayed until late at night. I would highly recommend their services”

Chris M.

“Amazing person and communicator, we were away for three weeks and Gloria took care of our Brady with love and care, she sent almost every day pictures or video of Brady and every day texting us. We never felt so safe and relaxed for our Brady. Her location was perfect for us. We highly recommend her. Thank you Gloria”

Dritan C.

“Reichel and her husband James are incredible! I got multiple updates daily while away and they really are attentive to your pups behavior. I have a senior pup and they were on it every step of the way. They are also very well versed in natural food for dogs so knew what to do when my pup was not wanting to eat. 10 out of 10 would recommend them to any dog owner!!”

About: Hello! My name is Clara and I adore dogs. I grew up with 2 rambunctious boxers and was heavily involved in their puppy training and continued care. I now have the sweetest, little beagle mix of my own who is a gentle senior. She loves spending time with other dogs and so this is no barrier to accepting other dogs into my apartment! I am a medical student and also have abundant experience as a medical assistant and home health aid. Caring for others - whether dogs or humans - is my biggest passion and skill. I hope you give me the joy of caring for your dog! I’m a medical student so in general, drop in visits and walks work best for me on the weekends or at nighttime! However, I do have an ever changing schedule so please inquire for more information. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but am also happy to let them roam free if that is their preference. Your dog will always be leashed when I take them outside my apartment for walks. I love to take dogs out frequently (every 0-2 hours), so they get lots of outdoors time and stimulation! I also love playing games like tug of war. I truly have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to what your pet needs!

“Maryjane and Craig were wonderful hosts for our little girl. Great communication, friendly and easy to talk to, clearly they both have a love for animals. We also received baby updates and photos of our girl and she was very happy at their home! We've already booked a repeat stay!”

About: My family has had dogs all of my life. I personally trained our family dog when I was between the ages of 10-12. My husband and I currently have a senior dog at home (10 year old Newfoundland) that I lovingly care for. I will be working part time (three days per week) starting in October but am currently not working for the next couple of months so I have very open availability (likely every day). I have a very friendly, docile dog (a spayed female Newfoundland) at home to keep your doggies company while staying in our home. My husband and I live in a large single family home. The house is 2 stories but we typically keep our dog on the bottom floor due to her age. All staircases have the ability to be closed off with a door. We have an unfenced yard. We have a very walkable neighborhood that allows for long walks if that is what your dog likes. I am a very active person who exercises daily so I can accommodate high energy pups! We also allow pets on the furniture if cuddling is more your dog's thing!

“Dyane was amazing and we will use her again in the future! She took the best care of our dog while we were out of town for a week. 5/5 stars and will recommend to friends. She is very professional and takes her job of caring for your pets very seriously.”
