A Good Dog Boarding Service

Pet care experience

Hello, thank you for visiting my Rover profile. I offer a personalized dog-boarding service based in Cambridge, MA. As I sit only one pupper at a time, if your special friend stays with me, he or she will have all the fun! Your family-member will stretch out on the third floor of a family house near Central Square. Up there we have a large carpeted area well suited for chucking a ball or a good zoomie zoom. After that there's a comfortable old couch for naps. And when it's time for some fresh air, your pretty pet will enjoy exploring the enclosed backyard and maybe chasing a rabbit or a squirrel. After that we harness up, grab a leash and a pop bag, and head out to explore the hood: for those that like a longer trek we head down Western Ave to the river. I follow your care and feeding instructions to make sure your family member feels safe. What I do best is take great care of your tyke. My love for dogs goes back to Hercules, my grandmother's beloved chihuahua-terrier mix. It's some much fun watching a dog get to know you and get comfortable with you. They are always quick to adapt to their new environment and learn their way around the house. They seem to be happiest when sticking to their routine. I like to recognize personality traits and instinctive behaviors: I want my friends feeling happy and secure, never too nervous or fearful. When not taking care of dogs, I am a writer. I'm happy to take charge of your pretty pet during your next weekend away or longer vacation! Please send a request anytime. Thank you!

Chris watched our Buster for almost a month this summer and we came back to a happy pup. Thanks Chris!

Chris is great! Very communicative and flexible and our dog had a safe and enjoyable time at his place. Chris has a really good set-up for being a Rover host and we would definitely work with him again.

Information Chris C. would like to know about your pet

Please me know if your dog has any special care or diet needs. Please describe his or her daily routine. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs who respond to other dogs, bicyclists etc. Let me know if your dog tends to pick up material off the street.

A typical day

I have a large carpeted space on the third floor for playtime. There is a small park nearby on Lee Street and Hoyt Field is nearby. It's always fun to head down to the Charles. The enclosed backyard is always an option.
