Doggie paradise

Pet care experience

Hello, we are a family that loves animals. we have 1 amazing dog named Finn he is a lab mix . He is 2.9 yes old and gets along well with all dogs and loves people just as much. We also have a 9 yr old long haired chi who is great with dogs. We go hiking to blue hills , houghtons pond (canton) and to millennium Park in West Roxbury , We do doggy play groups,also we have a great back yard fully fenced in with a doggie door to the yard. we go for walks alot . We really love havin dogs around us. One of my requirements is that all dogs come with the harness I seatbelt the dogs in my car and they need to be harnessed to do that, for safety. Why I love dog sitting my whole 50 years I have been a dog lover I have had a dog since i was 7 and don't see myself ever not having one. About my yard we have a fairly large fully fenced in yard. With a doggy door that leads to it. My dog is 40lbs and 10lbs and can not get out of my yard. the terrain is grass. the yard is clean from dog mess we go hiking alot and walking alot that the dogs dont go potty to much in the yard and i clean up after them right away when they do. Don’t want them playing in a yard full of poop🤮🤮 My experience administering medication No problem giving meds. i had a golden retriever that had seizures. :( At this time we are taking dogs for a two night minimum after the thank you very much and hope to hear from you. During the summer months for memorial day to Labor Day I typically have a three night minimum and I quite often go to New Hampshire to my home and dogs are welcome to come. just wanted to be upfront so people understand what would be going on the dogs have a blast up there as we often go hiking thank you very much for reading. I do not go to New Hampshire every weekend and there is room for flexibility in that just reach out and we can chat about it. The dogs really do enjoy being up there is there’s lots of room to move around and they can go swimming. I have excellent references and they don’t have any problem Talking to someone who may be interested.

Chris took our pup Roxy who had so much fun! We were instantly at ease when Roxy got along so well with her adorable dogs during the meet & greet and really enjoyed the picture updates while away! Roxy actually came back better behaved after seeing the other dogs! Chris will be our permanent sitter from here out and we are so thrilled to have found her after being nervous leaving Rox!

Chris was amazing. Our dogs had an incredible time. After their great hikes, they were tuckered out when they returned!

Chris's place was puppy paradise. She has another dog to play with, plenty of toys, and kept my pup very active on long walks and playing in the back yard. She treated my dog as if it were her own and she is a true dog lover. You can be sure your pup is in good hands with Chris.

Chris is wonderful taking care of our Bichon Mitchy. She is very experienced and passionate and took great care of our pet. She often took Mitchy for a lot of long walk and updated us with photos and activity everyday. Mitchy is very happy and came home very healthy and clean. He has a wonderful stay with Chris! Thank you!

I have a fully fenced in backyard and half of my front yard is also fenced in, I have a doggie door that leads out that is only open when somebody’s home. My dogs don’t go more than four hours at a time without potty breaks and possible exercise. They are allowed on the furniture and we love hanging out with them on the couch.

My dog peanut does not necessarily care for unneutered male. We are an easy-going dog loving family. We spend a lot of time outdoors hiking too long walks so hang in the backyard

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks, Blue Hills for 4 mile hike or millennium Park I for 3 to 4 mile walk in the woods for short walks around the block. Your dog's sleeping arrangement depends on the dogs need for sleeping.the couch is comfy and dogs can sleep on the floor next to my bed or in my kids beds or my bed . We welcome the dog parents to bring a dog bed if desired.
