About

Hi, I'm Dusti, the heart behind Claws-N-Paws MA

After years of caring for pets in Los Angeles, I'm proud to bring the same calm, attentive, in-home pet care back home to families throughout Central & Eastern Massachusetts. Claws-N-Paws was built on the belief that every pet has their own story, personality, and routine. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and understood in the place they know best, their own home.

Animals have always been part of my life. From childhood pets to decades of caring for the beloved companions of friends, family, and clients, I've had the privilege of earning the trust of animals with all kinds of personalities... and the people who love them. Whether energetic, independent, shy, or somewhere in between, every pet deserves care that's tailored to their individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

My background in health and wellness shaped the way I approach pet care... with patience, attention to detail, and the understanding that every individual has different needs. I bring those same values into every visit.

Whether caring for an energetic puppy, an independent cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I strive to make every visit feel familiar and reassuring. I believe great pet care starts with listening—to both pets and the people who know them best. Before or by the end of our meet-and-greet, we'll review your pet's routines, preferences, medications, favorite activities, and all the little details that help them feel most at ease. My goal is always to follow the routine they're most comfortable with, whether that's a relaxed household or one with a carefully structured schedule.

Years of caring for pets and building lasting relationships with families have reinforced my belief that the best care comes from patience, observation, communication, and attention to detail. Whether your companion needs an extra walk, quiet company, medication, reassurance, or simply someone who understands that every animal is different, I strive to provide care that is calm, dependable, and centered on their unique needs.

Above all, I want you to leave knowing your pets & homes will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, attention, and respect I'd want for my own.

I look forward to earning the trust of both you and your companion and becoming someone you can trust whenever life takes you away from home.
