Dog Boarding in Boston

“Apollo loves Victoria - and with good reason. She gives him lots of affection and good care. I get regular photos to be confident that he’s well, safe and happy. I highly recommend Victoria!”

“Ryan did a fantastic job with our Paisley! His love for dogs really shines through. He kept us in the loop with plenty of photos and updates, which was such a comfort. Seeing our Paisley so well-cared for and content was absolutely heartwarming. We're already looking forward to our next booking with Ryan. A five-star experience!”

About: Hello! I'm Rita and a lover of animals. When I was 3 years old, I had my first dog in my family, so my childhood was full of memories of growing up with dogs and having fun together. Now I have 2 Shiba Inus, Umi is in my hometown with my parents and Chuu is with me and my husband here in Boston. Because of this wonderful time, I learned how to take care of dogs and make them feel happy, comfortable, and company when they need me, which is most important for our lovely and needy dogs. I am comfortable with nervous or energetic dogs and I have confidence they will open up to me quickly. My close relatives, families, and friends said that dogs all have a super comforting presence with me. I believe that I establish a bond with dogs easily and I truly am a dog whisperer. My husband and I both work from home, so we have more flexibility to accompany your loved ones. Our neighborhood is pet-friendly, and my apartment complex even has a small dog park on the 5th floor! Plus, a park nearby has two dog parks within a 5-minute walk! So, you can rest assured that your furry friends will have plenty of space to run and play. I promise to treat your pets like my own and spend quality time with them daily. Let me take care of your dogs - you won't regret it! My husband and I are both WFH, I’m currently on a flexible schedule, so I have a plenty of time hanging out with your pups! When I am entrusted with the responsibility of caring for pets either in my own home or that of my clients, I ensure that they are provided with fresh food and water at regular intervals throughout the day. Additionally, I make sure that their living area is kept clean, hygienic, and comfortable for them to live in. Apart from meeting their basic needs, I also spend quality time with them to help them feel loved and cared for. This could include playing with their favorite toys, taking them out for walks, or simply snuggling up with them for some much-needed cuddle time. If I am responsible for the care of a dog, I make sure to take them out regularly for potty breaks and exercise, so that they stay active and healthy. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, preferences, and needs, and I strive to be attentive to their individual needs and cater to them accordingly. I understand the importance of keeping a clean and healthy environment for your furry friends. If I'm caring for a cat, for example, I make sure to clean their litter box daily to prevent any unpleasant odors or unsanitary conditions.

“Philip really took care of our dogs while we were out of town. Updated daily with the pictures and videos. Very nice and kind! Happy to find him!”

“He was extremely patient with my scheduling and coco’s needs. also, very understanding. he takes extra care and precautions with my dog and i greatly appreciate it!!”

“Millie is the BEST! She is a star dog sitter ⭐️ in addition to being a lovely person :)! She took care of our dog Charlie while we were away. Millie reached out with questions to be sure she was giving Charlie the best care possible. She incorporated Charlie into her day, sharing great walks to wonderful locations. Millie also sent pics :) - Charlie looked so relaxed and looked to love the outdoor activities :)! We highly recommend Millie and would use her again ❤️!”

“Frederica and her partner took such good care of my dog! It had rained and the residual water in my dogs coat made him itchy- they let me know and gave him a bath with sensitive dog shampoo and he was good as new before he got home to me!”

“Sarah is wonderful! She was lovely, responsible, and fabulous with our pup who stayed with her for a whole week, and she was perfect in her communication with me. Our dog can sometimes be a little difficult on leash, and she managed him beautifully. She really helped me feel comfortable while away, in not needing to worry at all about my dog. She was also incredibly flexible as it was better for me to drop him off a day earlier than initially planned. I fully and completely recommend Sarah (though I don't really want to because I know she'll become hard to book!).”

“Matias was so great watching my beagle Casey! She had a great time running and playing in the field by his house, and Matias kept me updated daily with her status! I could tell she was even sad to leave and can’t wait to use Matias again!”

“Colin was a fantastic sitter for our Aussie for a week while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates about our pup's day with plenty of photos and was extremely willing to tailor his care for her around the routine she keeps at home with us. His two dogs are extremely sweet, gentle, and welcoming for new dogs to join their pack; it made me happy to know our pup was so thoughtfully cared for while we were gone!”

“Lydia was awesome. She sent great updates throughout my dogs stay along with a ton of pictures. She took my dog for a couple of walks throughout the day and got her plenty of exercise.”

“Ilya took exceptional care of Poppy!! She is normally a bit antisocial and skeptical of men, but with Ilya, she really came out of her shell- being social with other dogs and humans! Ilya was so communicative & went above and beyond to ensure Poppy could enjoy her favorite activities - walks, snuggling, sunbathing - he was gentle and kind with her, and she can’t wait for her next holiday with him!”

“Tien-Tien was amazing with our dog, Bia! We received a lot of pictures and videos of Bia having a blast! Bia loved her dog Qmo and they became instant best friends. Tien-Tien kept us updated and really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Tien-Tien and we would love to have her sit our dog again!”

“Shea had the best time with Jim!! He took such great care of her and treated her as his own - so glad I found Jim, we will definitely be returning customers :)”

“Pearl had a blast staying with Christie and Daniel! We really appreciated the pictures while we were gone. Pearl is definitely looking forward to her next visit!”

“Would highly recommend Seth and Ashley! There were the most attentive and responsive hosts we’ve found on Rover. Not to mention, they took the best care of Captain and get us updated through photos and texts on all the fun he was having. We will definitely be using them again!”

“I'm worried about writing this review because then the world will know that Donna is potentially the world's greatest dog sitter. Lately I've been increasingly concerned about traveling since Panda is getting a little older and doesn't like being left alone or with strangers very much any more, but Donna erased every concern I could've possibly had, so I hope to have her watch Panda again soon. She has an awesome house, took sigfnicant time to prepare for Panda and her personality and needs, and fully documented Panda's stay while I was gone for a week. She even treated Panda with a trip to her favorite local pet shop on one particularly epic walk. If you really need any further evidence, though, she also has two extremely cute and well loved dogs that will be great friends to your dog too. Thanks again Donna.”

“Adam is the best! He took care of Peanut and sent timely updates. Peanut has a new friend in town 🎉”

“Harry had the best time with Michelle! She sent tons of pictures and kept me up to date on how he was doing (he made himself right at home). He got plenty of walks and was fed and tired when we picked him up.”

“Kyle was great with Leo—from coming to learn about his routine to keeping him an extra night when our travel was delayed. We’ll definitely be using him again!”
