Pet Boarding Mattapoisett

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have hands on experience with large breeds and am confident handling bigger dogs with different energy levels. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, comfort as they age. I put a lot of love and care into every pet I watch. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure they feel safe, loved, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule where I work from home somedays. My partner also works 5 minutes from our house and is able to help with potty breaks during the day. We spend a lot of time in our yard or walking the canal on nice days and would love a wagging tail to join us. We have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood to go on walks. We love to go to the canal and spend time outside. We have a fully finished basement with mini splits and air circulation system, perfect for any size dog to enjoy!

“Wonderful experience! Maria is so warm and caring. She paid close attention to Rosie's needs and quirks. The dogs got outside for fun walks. Maria's home is enchanting with plenty of outdoor space. So happy to have found a sitter on the Cape that I can have absolute confidence leaving my girl dog. Rosie was very comfortable there, and I hope we can return soon. Thank you so much!”

“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”

“Tara was wonderful — we recommend her and would leave our dog in her care again. She communicated well and our dog was calm and happy when we picked her up after a two night stay.”

“I can’t express how grateful I am that we Kathleen. It was the perfect environment for my dog. She and her very nice family took such good care of him that he felt at home. She also sent us many updates and photos so I knew he was happy and safe. I highly recommend her and would rebook! Thank you so much to Kathleen and family because of your great care I didn’t have to worry about him at all!”

“Marc was AMAZING!!!! I don’t think it’s possible for me to say enough good things about him. After having a traumatic experience with a Rover watcher, I was honestly very nervous to trust anyone with my dog ever again. Mark restored my faith completely. Not only was he one of the kindest people I’ve met in a long time, he has an incredible heart for animals. He treated my pup like a treasured family member. My dog instantly loved him. But while I was gone he went out of his way to make sure she had the best day each day…play dates, went on adventure walks, cuddles! He was knowledgeable about dog traing and grooming (my dog came back soft and shiny.) He even bought her a very expensive chew toy, which he sent her home with. She actually cried a little when I took her home because she got so attached to Marc. I cannot recommend Marc highly enough.”

“Sarah and her family were wonderful with our dog, Rory. It was clear he was getting lots of love and snuggles while we were away. Sarah provided pictures during our trip. We would gladly use Sarah again in the future!”

“I am very very grateful Heather cares for Charlie through Rover. Charlie has been going there when I have needed care for him for the three years I have owned him. She and her family are very kind to him. I feel completely secure about having him with her. Though he is tightly bonded to me, he is very excited to go to her house. She sends photos. Heather is so easy to work with in every way.”

Elaine G.

“Michelle was awesome with both my dogs. I was nervous leaving them for so long but she made sure she sent plenty of pictures and updates to reassure me. She went out of her way to make sure they would be as comfortable as they would be at home. I will definitely be rebooking with her for any future trips I take!”

“Harley had an amazing time with Melissa and Kellie and their pup! Hosts were so flexible, easy to communicate with, and clearly love fur friends. We can’t wait to use them again”

Shawna B.

“Maggie took such great care of our dog! Maggie was great at communicating and has a great set up for any pet to temporarily join their family.”

Brittany B.

“Sam and Pam were wonderful with Finn. They looked after him so well and treated him with such care! We appreciated everything they did for us and Finn loved every minute with them! We absolutely would book them again without question!”

“Ciara takes such fantastic care of our pup while we are away. She sends tons of updates and pictures. Thankful to have a great place for River to go!”

About: Graduated from UNH class 2014 with a Bachelors in Zoology. Proud to have over 20 years of animal care. 15 years of multi pet ownership . ---Raised and trained 8 dogs from puppy to adult. Spent 6 months volunteering at an animal shelter. Have completed Two separate 10 session dog training courses with a certified dog trainer. Have completed online Instructional courses on E-collar training and behavior modification. Have experience handling dogs with behavioral issues/quirks Have cared for pets of family and friends in addition to my own for over 15 years . My family and I currently have two dogs and a lizard, so pet care is part of our daily routine, 24/7 365. My own dogs are walked daily and stimulated through play and training. When we are home as a family, the dogs are out with us enjoying life. When we are out of the house, they are either crated or secured in a room with fresh water. Safety/Security and respecting the animals are my core values. While the animals in my home are cared for like family, they are taught to respect boundaries and work for affection. In my care, pets are leashed unless they are in a secure, fenced area. I take the time to understand each animal is an individual who has unique needs. I cater my approach to each animal based on their specific demeanor.

“Larisa and her pups took such great care of our girl Georgia while we were away visiting family. Larisa sent videos, photos and updates each day we were gone to show us how well Georgia was being taken care of! Georgia got to go on beautiful walks around a bog, play in Larisa's yard and even got to lounge in multiple nap spots. Georgia got along so well with Daisy and Tess, Larisa's doggies, and I know they were an added benefit to her stay! We were so happy that Georgia was so happy and would absolutely seek out Larisa's care again!”

“Amanda’s love for animals, attention to detail, and excellent communication gave me peace of mind while out of the Country. I knew Camden was safe and very comfortable. I particularly appreciated the enrichment time and daily updates with photos.”

Bessie J.

“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”

“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”

“April did an amazing job watching Venus and Sasha for a few days! This was our first time using her as a sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while traveling. It was clear the girls were well cared for, happy, and comfortable with her. When they were picked up, they were relaxed and had obviously been given lots of attention and love. We would absolutely trust April to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

“I was very nervous boarding my puppy for the first time. I wanted someone who would care for Tippy the way I do at home. Thankfully I found Anndrea. Anndrea provides a safe, clean and caring environment in her home. She took excellent care including administering Tippy's medication. She let Tippy explore her completely fenced-in yard and showed how to use a "doggy door." We even got a video of Tippy playing and having fun. This overnight was such a great experience that we've already booked another stay with Anndrea. Thank you Anndrea for making Tippy's stay so pleasant!”
