To my friends, family, clients and fellow dog lovers -

As a lot of you may already know, last month my world was turned upside down when I had to have life-saving surgery due to a very unexpected medical emergency. I have been on the mend despite a few trips back to the hospital thanks to amazing doctors and an amazing support system and I have been *so* incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support (both emotional and financial) from so many friends, family, and clients. Last week I returned back home (I was recovering in New Hampshire at my brother Chris' house in Bow post surgery ) and I have now been reunited with my dog Coney (she was staying with my other brother Adam as I healed), so I am happy to report that life is slowly but surely starting to return to normal.

The support has meant the absolute world to me but since I'm still about a month away from really being able to be back on the ground fully doing walks, I am still struggling quite a bit and the financial impact that this medical emergency has had on me and my business has been extremely overwhelming. So I'm posting for the first time on Instagram, emailing clients for the first time, and also posting again on Facebook in the hope that I can get more donations to stay afloat until I can get back on the ground fully hopefully starting next month and keep my business afloat in the meantime. Even if it's just a small donation, every little bit helps right now during this difficult time.
❤️❤️❤️

Here is the link is the link to my Gofundme page if you or anyone else you know might be willing to make a donation:

Thank you so much to everyone who has been so generous and amazing to me during this difficult time and I can promise I will be the first to person to "paw it forward" when I'm back to work and able to get through this time period in my life ❤️❤️

Quincy/Milton clients and friends -- Please help my friend by texting or calling 617-842-0842 if you see this pup and also resharing this post with as many friends in the area that you possibly can! His name is Boomer and has gone missing. He ran away at approximately 9 pm last night from the Quarry Hills Apartments and then headed to Granite Links golf course and then entered the woods at Blue Hills about an hour after that. Someone has recently called and said they spotted him back at the Quarry Hills Apartment complex but he has still not been found. Boomer is friendly but he tends to run when approached so please ***do not chase*** And if anyone wants to volunteer their time tomorrow to search for him by hiking around Blue Hills, please let me know!

New year, new puppy! (And new absolutely ADORABLE photos 🥺🥺… Like I can’t even!!). Meet Max, a mild mannered Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who will be turning 6 months old at the end of January. Max recently had his first pack walk with the CEO .for.coney and the two of them couldn’t have been any cuter together. Max joined our growing pack and we are so thrilled to have him in the family!! Many more pics of this little cutie to come in 2024!!!

Happy Saturday, everyone! Please allow me to temporarily interrupt your weekend festivities to introduce you to our amazing part-time employee, Molly Becker! ( ). Molly has been working for us since this past summer and we could not be more thrilled to have her in the Hounds in the Hub fam. Molly is originally from New Jersey and graduated from Syracuse University in 2022 with a degree in Advertising. After college, Molly worked in healthcare advertising at Hill Holliday Heath for a year before she moved to Boston to begin grad school (she is currently pursuing a graduate degree in social work). Growing up, Molly’s family always owned dogs and she currently has a beloved Whoodle named Jojo back home in New Jersey. When Molly isn’t busy with grad school or walking pups for Hounds in the Hub, you can find her serving up delicious coffee and sandwiches at Southie’s . Be sure to say hello to her the next time you swing by Deja Brew or if you see her out and about walking pups!! 🐾❤️🐾

Happy (full circle!!) Tongue Out Tuesday from this adorable guy right here — SKEETER!!! I say full circle because Skeeter’s Mom bought a condo from one of my beloved original Hounds in the Hub clients who sadly moved to the burbs! I didn’t even realize that this was the same condo until I showed up to walk Skeeter for the first time and I put two and two together. One of the hardest parts of our job is having to say goodbye to the pups we grow to love so much/ become so attached to when they move away, so it was really cool to have a new pup in the same condo I used to do so many pick ups at. (Cue nostalgia!) And even though Skeeter had big paws to fill, I have grown to love him just as much!!! He is an adorable 3 year old Morkie who keeps up with all of the big pups in our pack despite his tiny size. He loves chewing on sticks, meeting new friends, hanging at Thomas Park, and posing with his big goofy smile for treats. And perhaps the funniest thing about Skeeter? Skeeter LOVES to chase scooters — I always get a chuckle when one goes and I think “there goes Skeeter chasing scooters again.” Many more pics of this cutie to come and I am so blessed to have this “full circle” moment with a brand new client (and I was so touch by what my old client texted me 🥰🥰).

Our History

In 2017, Hounds in the Hub was started by Mary Johnson, who quit her job as a paralegal/office manager and decided against going to law school in order to become a paw-fessional and finally put her lifelong love for all things canine to use. Hounds in the Hub quickly grew simply by word of mouth as a result of Mary's steadfast dedication to her clients and their pups and her strong desire to provide the best -- and most personalized -- dog walking services in South Boston. While Mary is no longer a solo dog walker and now has a larger team of dedicated walkers working under her, throughout the business' growth, she has been extremely careful to keep the company's individualized customer service as the hallmark of Hounds in the Hub.
