I love dogs! I have experience with all sizes from XS Pomeranians to XL St. Bernard’s and Newfies, and everything in between. I'm a very active surfer, yogi, and hiker all over New England and love being out in the elements, including rain and snow. I spend a lot of time at the beach in any weather! I also work at South Boston Animal Hospital-you may have seen me behind the front desk. I would love to take your pup with me on a safe and fun adventure around the neighborhood!

Dog Boarding in Boston
As one of the oldest cities in the US, Boston is full of history, culture, and fascinating attractions! It also hosts a legion of dedicated animal welfare groups that work to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome unwanted, abused, and neglected pets.
Animal Rescue League of Boston, for example, is committed to helping animals in need and has maintained that commitment for 118 years! With 100 staff members and more than 500 volunteers, it provides veterinary care, rescue, and adoption services for Boston’s pets. In 2016 alone, it provided assistance to almost 18,000 animals, all of which was done without any government funding.
Last Hope K9 Rescue has a much shorter history, having been established in March 2012, but it’s made an invaluable contribution to the welfare of dogs in Boston. A 100 per cent volunteer-run rescue, Last Hope is a foster-based group that opens its doors to all breeds. Operating on the belief that every animal deserves to know love, it has saved the lives of more than 5,500 dogs.
Great Dog Rescue New England is another dog rescue group worthy of support. This non-profit group is made up of volunteers from all over New England who love dogs and want to help those in need. With no shelter of its own, this all-breed rescue relies on the passion and dedication of foster families that welcome dogs into their own homes to give these beautiful animals a shot at a better life.
