Small dog & long stay specialists

Pet care experience

**Please note that we cannot board unfixed dogs, or dogs over 25 pounds.** I've been a dog and cat sitter since middle school. Nowadays, I work from home in Cambridge with my best friend Tofu, a 18 lbs Japanese Spitz intact male. My partner is a physician at Tufts Medical Center, and works from home 1-2 days per week. I am especially good with anxious dogs. Tofu is an anxious dog, and I keep as tight a schedule and routine as possible for his sake. Your anxious dog will be treated like family. I have also cared for a blind dog. I'm big on giving pets their needed exercise, and intellectual and social engagement. Tofu and I walk 4 miles a day, so your dog will get plenty of exercise. We have plenty of puzzles and treats in our house to engage your dogs brain. We know all of the other dogs in our neighborhood, so your dog can get some socialization if it likes that. And, there's a friendly bar right downstairs from our apartment where Tofu likes to sit outside and wait for people to come out for extra attention.

Chris and Caroline (and their super sweet pup, Tofu) are so great with my nervous little dog, Violet. They really get to know and appreciate her quirks and I get funny updates throughout her stay.

Christopher and Caroline (and the adorable Tofu) are so, so great. Responsive and clear communication, frequent updates. I really enjoyed that they seemed to want to get to know — and appreciate — my dog’s weird quirks.

Christopher, Caroline and Tofu were incredible with Ralphie, a nervous sweet 13 lb. Doxie Pin. They were responsive and sent great updates, videos and pics while I was away. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

This is the second time that we've left our fur baby with Chris and Caroline. They have taken care of her like she was their own. Would highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again when we need to travel.
