Dog Boarding in Lexington

Francois was excellent! Our first time leaving our dog with someone and Teddy seems very happy!! Thank you Francois for the ease of dropping Teddy off and picking him up and coordinate the visit. You will look forward to seeing you in the future.

Amazing dog sitters! Michiko and Clifford conducted due diligence upon my initial outreach to understand Romeo’s needs. They cap the # of dogs they look after at a time to make sure each gets sufficient attention. They sent regular updates with pictures while we were away. Romeo got plenty of physical exercise and was clearly loving their care overall.

Our Boston Terrier, Ruby, stayed with Arnav and his family for ten days and it could not have gone better. They treated her with such love and kindness. We felt at ease with them right away, even though Ruby is an elderly dog who has not been cared for outside of our home in more than a decade. Arnav sent us photo updates each day and it made us so happy and relieved to see how well Ruby was faring. Before our trip, we took Ruby for an initial meet-and-greet, which was fantastic. It was immediately obvious that Arnav has a fondness for and great experience with all sorts of dogs. From his first interactions with Ruby, one could see he knew how to approach and get a feel for a dog. While we were away, Arnav was gentle and attentive to Ruby’s every need. For example, she is a very senior dog who can only tolerate the shortest of leash walks. Ruby also arrived at their house with a still-healing shoulder injury. Most people caring for her would have been content to let her out to their back yard just as we do. In fact, we told Arnav that was all that was necessary, as it would have been entirely sufficient for her. Arnav did let Ruby out into his backyard, however, he and his family did not leave it at that. Instead, they carried her like a canine queen to and from the green park a block or so away from their house so Ruby could enjoy and explore. At this point, you may be surmising that Ruby has become a bit of a diva in her dotage. This diva behavior has seeped into her eating habits and food preferences. She has become finicky and at times demands a little topper to entice her and enhance her kibble eating experience. We told Arnav about Ruby’s tendencies and about our practice of topping her meals if she wouldn’t eat, and he didn’t bat an eye. Arnav and his family satisfied Ruby’s food whims with an array of tasty toppers and she was delighted. Arnav and his family mentioned they had a Boston Terrier themselves at one time, so it was clear they loved and understood the breed in general, and Ruby in particular while we were away. Arnav sent us a daily photo or video of Ruby so we could see how well she was settling in and what she was doing. We all loved seeing her happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It really made our day and our trip more relaxed to receive these regular updates. A prime example of how kind Arnav and his family are is when I accidentally texted my reply to their photo update, utterly forgetting the difference in our time zones. I had texted my response in the middle of the night! I felt awful, and they didn’t mention it, let alone reprimand my unfortunate timing. Lastly, their lovely family home is so immaculate that it is hard to imagine they allow dogs to visit them, let alone host them for days on end. It was an environment more than fit for our geriatric queen, Ruby. We have only glowing things to report in choosing Arnav and his family to care for Ruby, and highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking out a thoughtful, responsible, and caring dog-sitter.

Paul was a great dog watcher and communicator. Provided many photos and updates on how our pup Bandit was doing during the overnight stay. Would use Paul again.

Gus had a great time with Janette and Luna. Janette was very diligent about letting me know how and what Gus was doing and sent photos each day. I would certainly have Janette watch Gus again.

She was wonderful with Cleo—very reliable and attentive. She kept me updated with timely photos, followed feeding schedules perfectly, and even did a thorough meet-and-greet to make us feel comfortable. Highly recommend!

Barbara and Jen are amazing people and wonderful pet caretakers. We went on vacation for nearly 2 weeks and it was so much less stressful knowing that our dog, Rocky was in good hands. We got daily photos with brief updates on Rocky’s stay. Barbara and Jen are very knowledgeable about senior dog care and are very loving and kind. Rocky made himself so at home that he didn’t even notice me when I came to pick him up! My heart was so much lighter knowing that he had a good time at their place. With absolute certainty, I would ask Barbara and Jen to help us dog sit next time we are out of town!

Guillermo was great and Parker seemed to love his time with him. We got some really great pics and felt like our boy was well taken care of.

Did a great job with our dog. So great that she's been in a bit of depressed funk since we got her back. I think she was having too much fun. Clearly she was having her own vacation. Would rebook again.

Marissa took great care of Minnie over the 4th of July Holiday weekend. It was record hot, she made sure to special care in walking her at non stress times. Minnie was a bit nervous and a little unhappy at the start, but Marissa’s patience made her feel right at home. Thank you!

Belinda took great care of our dog, Joy, and was awesome at communicating and sending photos/videos. Joy is a puppy in a big dog body, so full of extra energy, which Belinda handled with ease. She cared for Joy during one of the worst heat waves of the summer and kept her cool and comfortable. I highly recommend Belinda!

Kathryn and her husband Sean are extraordinarily fine pet sitters. Our 11 year old boxer clearly enjoyed her stay with them and all the extra attention and loooong walks they gave her. They were very helpful and accommodating to our unprectable arrival time due to long-distance travel in winter weather. We will certainly book with them the next time we are in MA.

Betsy and her family did a wonderful job caring for Tuna. He got so much love and attention and seems like he had a wonderful time! He came home plenty tired after playing with all the new friends he made.

We had to find a dog boarding option very last minute one morning, and after reaching out to several highly rated sitters, Michelle was by far the most responsive and accommodating for our dogs. Her house has a large fenced yard, which was such a huge relief for our Cocomelo to safely run around and play. She is clearly very attentive, caring, and truly loves dogs. While our family was enjoying time with friends, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were having fun too. We are so happy to have found Michelle and made this connection through Rover.

Max was great to our dog. He was very accommodating to our schedule and was able to take him on short notice. He sent us a great picture from the dog park. We were also glad our dog was able to have his dog Ollie to play With.

Yick-hong recently cared for our dog, Maggie, while we were away for a week. We were very pleased with the care she received. Yick-hong was very communicative throughout the stay, sending a lot updates and photos of the Maggie. We would absolutely recommend Yick-hong and definitely will be back again.

Olivia and her family took great care of my pup. I loved getting updates when my dog, Luna, was out on a walk and knowing that she had a soft place to curl up in the evening. Olivia was quick to respond and a clear communicator. She asked all the right questions and was dedicated to make sure my dog had a safe, comfortable, and fun stay!

Echo and Tyler were great! Our pup seemed to have a terrific time and was happy when we picked him up after his 8 day stay with them. They were wonderfully communicative, and flexible around setting up a meet up in advance, and pick up time at the end of his time there.

Fantastic sitter! Zelun is very attentive and took great care of our dog. Regular walks and daily photos, and our dog looked so happy and relaxed in every photo update. When he noticed a change in her behavior one day, he reached out right away with pictures and kept a close eye on her until it looked like she was okay. This was our second time booking dog boarding with Zelun, and we would 10/10 recommend!
