Tail-Wagging Brits in Boston

Pet care experience

Hello! We're a friendly British couple living for many years in Boston’s Back Bay. We have a love for dogs and understand how important it is to find the right care for your furry family members. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, we are dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for your pets while you're away. Our Experience: Having owned dogs for more than fifteen years, we know the joys and challenges that come with pet ownership. We have experience with everything from playful puppies to calm seniors, and we’re well-versed in various training techniques, dietary and medical needs. Our home has plenty of space and is centrally located in the Back Bay with easy access to lots of parks and green spaces. We have hosted many of dogs from a few nights to weeks at a time, we’re now willing to give your pooch our royal treatment. Services Offered: Boarding: Your dog will stay in our home and receive plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. Dog Walking or Doggy Day Care: We enjoy strolls through Boston’s parks and the Charles River Esplanade, ensuring your dog gets the right amount of exercise they need. Playtime: We provide engaging activities, including fetch, tug-of-war, and trips to the dog park if desired. Home Environment: Our home is dog-friendly, with plenty of space for your pet to relax and play. We ensure a comfortable, stress-free atmosphere with no children. We have a calm 7 year old Mini-Schnauzer called Islay who is very comfortable with companions staying over. Why Choose Us? Personalized Care: We treat every dog as if they were our own, focusing on their unique needs and personality. We can administer medication if needed (we do this daily for Islay’s eye condition). We host one or two dogs at a time. Flexible Schedule: We are available for last-minute bookings and can accommodate various schedules. Daily Updates: We’ll keep you informed with photos and messages about your pet’s adventures while you’re away. New to Rover? Use PROMO CODE EDH40837 for a discount off your first booking.

We couldn’t be happier with Ed and Shyana and the care they provided our adolescent pup Maple. They loved on her as if she were their own and sent us lots of updates throughout the day. We will definitely be using them again. —Maple loved her time there so much she was actually sad to leave.

Edward and Shyana were great with Winnie. She seemed to warm up to them quickly and they provided frequent updates on her day. It was only a quick daycare watch but I would trust them to watch Winnie again!

Information Edward & Shyana H. would like to know about your pet

Let us know if they have ever had any aggressiveness issues and if they do well with other dogs. Are they fully house trained? Do they give you a signal when they need to go out? Please tell us which commands they know and respond to. Any special dietary restrictions. Let’s Connect! We’d love to meet you and your dog before their stay!

A typical day

For walks outside we go to the grassy Commonwealth Ave Mall, the Charles River Esplanade, Public Garden or Boston Common. There is a dog park nearby if your pup really needs to let off steam. At home we have lots of toys and a long hallway we use for fetch and chasing each other around, we also give time for resting and snoozing
