Dog Boarding in Newtonville

Andrea and her family were great. We have two very high-energy bird hunting dogs. They seemed to have a great time with Andrea's family, especially the two girls. Andrea sent plenty of pictures of the pups playing. And, best of all, the pups came back tired! Great job.

Ben cared for our senior dog Hazel for over a week while we visited family. He was excellent and we could tell Hazel was having a blast. We get worried leaving her with sitters because of her age and being a rescue, but Ben was very sweet, caring, and asked all the right questions before we dropped her off. I‘m hoping we can have Hazel stay with him many more times while we’re in the neighborhood.

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.

Deirdre was a wonderful host for Margot. Margot came home happy and tired after her overnight. Deirdre had great communication, sent photos from the stay and was very accommodating to my last minute boarding request. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding! It’s a wonderful feeling knowing you can confidentially leave your fur baby with someone like Lynn to care for them. Thanks Lynn!

Alex was fantastic and gave our pup lots of love and attention. She provided lots of updates and was super communicative. Would highly recommend her!

Sara did a wonderful job watching Boo. She was great at communicating and all Boo's stuff was packed neatly upon our arrival to pick her up. Her location is convenient. I highly recommend her.

Ismael took a wonderful care of Simba and Cutie, they were having a lot fun with Ismael and his family. He sent us daily pictures of them, we love it!! Will definitely return again!! :)

Yesika and her partner took great care of our pup for an extended stay!!! It was our first time leaving him (17 weeks) and he was SO happy with them. She continuously updated us with photos and videos, and assuaged all of our worries. We will definitely have Mars stay with her again when we are out of town!!!!

Jing and her family are AMAZING! We are repeat clients of Jing and our golden retriever puppy absolutely loves staying with Jing and her family. She keeps updated with pictures and texts. Her communication is great. Thank you for treating our puppy like family!

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.

Carlos and Nina were great with our pups! They were very friendly and communicative and kept us up to date on how they were doing throughout their stay.

Greta was amazing with Cheddy! We will definitely use her again in the future

Julie was so wonderful. She send detailed updates every day that were so reassuring and contained everything I wanted to know, along with lots of photos. My dog looked happy and comfortable in every one! Julie also seemed to truly enjoy taking care of my girl. Hope to use her again in the future! Thanks!
