Meghan was communicative, on time and clearly took great care of my dog! They got outside a lot even in the cold snowy weather. Will definitely use her again!

Mysty is the absolute best! Caring, knowledgeable, and an excellent communicator. Our pups spent almost a week with Mysty while we were travelling, and they came home looking happy, relaxed, and very obviously spoiled! Thank you, Mysty.

Free Halloween fun for you, your pet, and the whole family? Just tell us where to be and when! The annual Halloween Pet Parade & Costume Contest, held each October at Faneuil Hall, is an eagerly awaited event for Boston dog lovers of all ages. This free event invites owners to dress up their furry friends in all manner of cute and spooky costumes, parade them around Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and then take to the red carpet in front of a panel of judges! There are prizes for best in show, best owner and pet combo, most creative, and best local representation, but the event is just as much fun for spectators as it is for competitors.

Paw Palooza
What could be better than watching some of the region’s top dock diving dogs in action? Well, how about if you and your dog could enjoy a weekend full of pet-friendly fun and games at the same time, not to mention raise funds for a very good cause? Paw Palooza promises a tail-wagging good time for all lovers of doggy sports, featuring a DockDogs® tournament, frisbee dog show, agility demonstrations and try-outs, Doggie University seminars, and products and exhibitions from more than 70 vendors. Best of all, funds raised at the event benefit the MSPCA in Centerville and the Animal Rescue League of Boston’s shelter in Brewster!

Canine Promenade
If you love Halloween almost as much as you love your four-legged friend, this is the paw-fect event for you! Canine Promenade is an annual Halloween costume parade for dogs and their people, promising an afternoon of fun and frivolity for animal lovers of all ages. The half-mile parade takes place around the Charles River Esplanade and is designed to not only raise funds for the park but also promote it as a grrr-eat place for dogs and owners to enjoy a day out!
