Doggy Day Care in Dedham

“My dog loves Krystal. I am an anxious pet owner—my dog is 3 and I had never left him with anyone but friends. Krystal took really good care of him and me.”

“Chester had the best time with Brandon, Annie and Koa! We will definitely have them watch Chester again. Fantastic yard, playful pups and fun indoors as well with cute pictures and summary of his stay. Would recommend highly!”

About: I had my own dog from the age of 8 until recently, at the age of 21. My dog was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease towards the last few years of his life so I am experienced with caring for sick, nervous, and anxious dogs. Also, one of my roommates brought her miniature golden doodle to live with us this past year, so I am also well experienced with active, playful dogs. I am also a sucker for cats as well. I am free this summer since I am a teacher so I have plenty of down time to care for pets and get outside as much as possible. I live in an apartment so caring for pets in my home would be a bit constricting for my clients’ pets. And if I choose to work an in-home care I would be extremely respectful and courteous of others’ homes.

““I had another wonderful day today with my friend Debbie and her family! She is always so welcoming and makes me feel right at home! We had lots of fun playing and taking walks together! Can’t wait to go back!” ~Jimmy”

“Nick was awesome with Chai! She almost didn’t want to leave! From the communication to the photos, it made me very comfortable leaving Chai with Nick for the day. The multiple naps tells me she was in the right hands. Thanks Nick! We’ll definitely be back!”

“Great host! Eli was worn out from his long walks and was extra smiley when I got home! Will definitely book again during my stay here in Boston”

“Julie and Patrick have been unbelievable with Annie. They provide a very calming environment for her which is exactly what she needs. Annie is a recent rescue and has some trust issues with people. I cannot think of anyone we would rather leave Annie with as we know she will be welcomed and well looked after.”

“I would highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for dog care, especially if your dog has any special needs. Cyrus is struggling with separation anxiety - though has made great progress - and finding high quality care has been a challenge since he can't yet be left alone comfortably. Kristin has openly communicated when she can meet his needs (and I have already rebooked those days!), sent regular updates while Cyrus was with her, and asked several questions prior to his visit that were reflective of her positive approach to care, knowledge of dog body language, and experience working with dogs with a variety of needs.”

About: I have loved dogs since I was little. they are my family. I recently moved to Boston and had to leave my dogs behind so I will be a great company for your dogs just as they will be for me. I have taken care of puppies since they are babies to old. I'm currently unemployed. I have all the free time to take care of and play with your dogs. I am available as long as you need me. I will take care of your dogs as if they were mine. I will make them feel comfortable with me and I will play a lot with them but with the caution that they require.

“Oscar was wonderful. We had never boarded any of our dogs before. Oscar made the process seamless. He sent pictures and videos (put to music) that made us smile and know that Dexter was in good hands. We look forward to having Dexter visit Oscar and his family in the future.”

“Karima watches my cat and dog for a few hours every day and she is a great help. Very responsible and always on time. The animals really love her and I can tell she really loves animals. I 100% recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Everyone in my family has pets and I always loved having them around. I worked in a pet shop for about 2 years while I was a teenager. I currently own 2 cats and I’ve had all kinds of experience with all kinds of pets. I currently have an open schedule so I am able to be available during all hours to help care for our fur babies. I also have a vehicle. I care for every pet like it’s my own and apart of the family. I treat them as my own kids. They are allowed on furniture and to have big personalities!

“I highly recommend Julia as a dog walker. She is fantastic with dogs of all ages/breeds and is extremely reliable. Julia always arrives on time and takes excellent care of my furry friend during each walk. Her detailed notes after each walk provide peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. Julia's patience and love for animals truly shines through in her work. If you are in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker, do not hesitate to contact Julia.”

“My Dog adores Abby, and he is an unruly very territorial Pomeranian Alvin, that isn't even fond of my mother! Abby is able to break down our little pups hardcore exterior and bring out his mushy, fun loving inner self which isnt easy to do. She greets him with care, love and respect and he actually listens to her. She is an avid dog lover and is trusted with caring for dogs in our entire friend group, Alvin being no exception and the hardest obstacle. She is fantastic with dogs, and they all love her!”

“Nicolina has stayed in our house with our dog many times and has walked our dog during the day even more. We trust her without any concerns. She is super reliable and flexible. Most importantly, our dog loves her and gets very excited whenever Nicolina comes over!”

“Margaret is just the kind of person you want to be with your pet. Margaret and Alex were the best. They cared for Una like she was her own, sent us pictures and were beyond profesionnal and loving. We could not be more grateful.”

About: I have boarded all types of dogs from huge to small. Im a lover of all animals. I treat them as if they were my own. Plenty of love and cuddles will be offered to your fur baby. I work from home so caring for a pet is no issue at all. I have a hiking trail within walking distance of my home if Exercise is needed. I have a fenced yard with plenty of running space. No other animals near my property, quiet neighbors and safe neighborhood with minimal open road access.

“I highly recommend Chi Chi for dog sitting. She was so kind to my senior dog and was able to adjust to her quirks. She even had a couple "adjustment accidents" and she was not upset at all. She sent photos and kept me up to date with her time with her. She walked her for 1hr 3x a day or as the dog desired. She played with her when she returned home she was clean and healthy and happy. She has a private home with a fenced in yard area. Highly recommended.”

“When Dana lived in San Diego he would frequently house sit for me and care for my greyhound Honeybee. Dana was always prompt, took great care of the house, and most importantly loved Honeybee so much. He would often send me pictures of them together to make sure I didn’t miss her too much, and we would all FaceTime. I would highly recommend Dana as a person to trust with the care of your fur baby, he loves them, and they love him. He was definitely family to us and we were sad to see him move back east, but our loss is your gain.”

“Matthew really pulled through for me! Within an hour of needing a sitter for my puppies, I was dropping them off. They ate and played and had fun, and we got photos!!”
