It's a dogs world: eat, play, love"

Pet care experience

My wife, Gail, and I are lifelong dog owners and lovers. Our 16 year old pug, Lily, passed on this winter, and we are looking forward to adding the dog vibe back into our household. We live in our two family home just outside Magoun Square in Somerville. We live in the top two floors of our home, so their is plenty of space for your dog to feel at home. We have a good sized out-door deck off of our kitchen, with stairs leading down to a medium sized fenced-in yard with grass. Our neighborhood is quiet, it is great for short and long walks, and there are larger green spaces are nearby. I am a self-employed carpenter with a flexible work schedule, and I am often home during the day to keep your pup(s) company (or vice-a-versa!). With enough notice, I can arrange my schedule to meet the needs of your dogs stay. My wife Gail is a teacher and is available evenings and on weekends. We look forward to meeting you and your lovely dog(s). We want our home to feel like your dogs home when they stay with us.

Chris and Gail always take such wonderful care of Misty. They are flexible and easy going and clearly love pooches.

This is probably our 3rd or 4th time boarding Rux with Chris and it really is such a pleasure. Rux is so excited when we drop him off and clearly has a good time while he's there. We absolutely adore Chris and his family and will continue to be repeat customers as long as they'll have us!

Christopher was amazing! He took Bono for long walks, to the dog park, played fetch with him on his yard and sent pictures and videos. 100% recommend him!

Information Christopher H. would like to know about your pet

We do love pugs, but enjoy dogs of all ages and sizes!

A typical day

We have a fenced in yard at our house, and lily, as well as other dogs have loved lounging outside, especially when the sun is out. We have a neighborhood that is great for long neighborhood walks. We are also a quick walk to the bike path, and often walk to Davis Sq and back. If your dog is active and high energy, my wife and I also enjoy going to the fells or walking around the Mystic River in Medford. We equally enjoy lounging on the couch with pups and playing a good game of tug-a-war with toys!
