Dog Boarding and Doggy Daycare

I offer a home away from home for your dog, i.e., my home, whether you want daycare or boarding/overnight care). When your dog is with me, we exercise, play, and cuddle. I give your dog lots of loving attention and companionship. Your dog will also be in a comfortable home for play time and down time.

​

Daycare is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. M-F. I will pick up/ drop off if you are within a few miles of Roslindale, especially between Roslindale and West Roxbury. Boarding times are worked out between us.

​

Dogs must be hypoallergenic, three (3) yrs old or older, have solid dog-on-dog social skills, and be able to settle down. No separation anxiety, excessive barking or any aggression. Males must be neutered.

​

Meet & Greet: Before I take your dog on as a "client" I like to know more about his/her particular likes and dislikes, vet info, behaviors, etc.  We will fill out a questionnaire for this purpose.  It is important that your dog check out my place. They pick up a lot of "data" from this!

​

Transitioning your dog: I don't believe in dropping a dog off at a strange place and a new person (me). I like to have a meet and greet at my place, have your dog for one daycare day, and if boarding, one overnight before he/she boards for a multi-night stay. 

 

This transition plan also serves as an assessment, to make sure your dog is a good fit. It helps your dog become familiar with me, my place and our routine, so when he/she comes to stay, they can hit the ground playing! Therefore, please schedule the transition dates early enough so you have time to get another sitter if it's not a good fit for your baby.
