Dog Boarding in Jamaica Plain

“I would highly recommend Julie. She watched my golden retriever for a weekend while I was out of town. She send frequent updates and photos which I loved. Julie clearly loves dogs very much and that is evident in how well she takes care of them.”

“This was Charlie’s first stay with Mercis. Charlie is very choosy with new boarders. He was very comfortable with Mercis from the first time he met her. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos during the whole stay. Charlie has a great time! We will definitely board Charlie again with her. Highly recommend Mercis for your boarding needs!!”

“Maryanne is a wonderful lady. Ziggy and I are very lucky to find her. Thanks to her, we both had a great holiday! She is a truly kind and caring person. Ziggy really enjoyed staying with her at her great place. ”

“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.”

“Great experience boarding Summer for 3 days! They sent updates daily and were very easy to communicate with. They even got Summer special treats!”

“Millie was fantastic! Very responsive and sent constant updates on Alfie, I would absolutely recommend and would rebook!”

“So happy with the service Duncan (our golden doodle got)! Jess kept us updated daily with pictures and texts. He seemed to go on lots of walks and had lots of company with other canine friends as well as their adorable girls! Will definitely be using Jess 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!”

“Dana did a great job with our large and energetic dog on very short notice! Highly responsive and knows how to deal with the little things that come up during dog-care. (Our leash snapped during our dog's stay, and he was able to weld it back together!) Will definitely be back.”

“From the beginning, Gil demonstrated an impressive level of attentiveness, taking the time to understand Olive's needs and preferences. Regular updates, complete with photos, reassured me that Olive was not only looked after but genuinely loved. Gil treated Olive as if she were his own, and this personalized approach made all the difference. Throughout the stay, Gil's dedication and responsibility in ensuring Olive's well-being exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Gil to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions—Olive came back happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with the extra love she received. A big thank you to Gil for providing such a wonderful experience—I will undoubtedly be reaching out again for future pet-sitting needs!”

“It was the 1st time that I left my puppy with someone else...Sarah was the perfect person! Right away I had a good connection with her and I saw her love for the dogs. I left Mika with totally confidence! During the weekend, she frequently send me news and pictures. She tooks walks with Mika, she brings him in a trail on Parc de la Gatineau and even sleep with him! I feel thankful to met Sarah via dogvacay. Of course I am going to ask for her each time I need a sitter for Mika. I recommend Sarah to everyone who want to leave with the peace that his/her dog is in good hands. Julie Blais Modoumet, Ottawa”

“Working with Ryan was wonderful! Super responsive, lots of great picture updates, and my dog loved it! Will absolutely use him again! Cannot recommend enough!”

“Victoria was great! She took good care of Ollie for 12 days, sending frequent photos and updates. We had peace of mind knowing he was in the care of an experienced and capable sitter. We also felt she grew to have genuine affection for Ollie, which we appreciated. We are grateful to have found Victoria and hope to have her sit Ollie again!”

“Oksana and her husband were kind and attentive to my dog, Ralphie. She kept updating me about him with pictures and videos. Ralphie can be skittish and scared sometimes but he felt comfortable at her home. Thank you!”

“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”

“Justine is so amazing!! Gigi had the absolute best time - which was obvious from the sweet photos they sent us every day! We felt so happy to know Gigi was well cared for and clearly had a great time while we were away!”

“We have a beloved rescue that struggles with anxiety. Steven had a really calm presence and seemed to really have a knack with dogs. Thanks Steven- you made the family gauntlet of events we had- way less stressful.”

“Nicole is the best. She provides consistent updates of the day and I really appreciate that! She is also really generous with the info she shares when it comes to caring for a dog. It’s so comforting to be able to depend on a sitter who truly cares ❤️ grateful to have connected with Nicole, and looking forward to booking with her again!”

“Emma was amazing!! Her and her boyfriend took incredible care of Parker. I was terrified because Parker has never been to the city but Emma made me feel so much better and sent me so many pictures and updates. I am so grateful my puppy was in such wonderful hands. Thank you again Emma!!!!”

“Tiffanie was outstanding - super responsible and focused on caring for Rocky. Asked key questions about his care and schedule and sent us tons of pictures of his adventures with her. Will definitely book again!”
