❄️ Snowy Paws Retreat 🌨

Pet care experience

*********-WINTER-SCHEDULE-2024-********* Hello Dog Owners, I am currently accepting dogs over the fall/winter months in Western Massachusetts Only. If you need pet care in the Eastern or Central regions during this time feel free to inquire about services but be advised that logistical issues may occur as I do not provide pet transportation to and from any location outside of emergency situations. *************************************************** ------------------------------------- ****************-SUMMER-2024-*************** Hello Dog Owners! Leaving your home for awhile? Thinking about sending your furry friend on a doggy vacation of their own? I run a full-time seasonal overnight doggy summer camp in Canine Paradise on a sleepy dead-end dirt/gravel road deep in conservation land in Littleton Massachusetts. Schedule a ten to twenty minute meet and greet and see for yourself! Also if you haven't already browsed through the hundreds of photos of the dogs I've watched throughout my career feel free to do so. 😊 I have been around animals my entire life and have lots of experience taking care of them. Here at my seasonal residence, we offer kennel-free boarding where your dog will be treated just like my own. They will have free roam of the entire cabin where we've set it up to be safe for them so they don't get into anything they shouldn't. A usual day here consists of walking around the forest and my large dog friendly property. Also depending on your pups physical abilities swimming on my lake, hiking around the local trails and of course as many potty breaks as your furry companion wants. We try our best to create a safe and fun environment for your dog. We are always more than happy to send you plenty of pictures and updates while you're away. ❤ Emily is an excellent photographer 📸 I look forward to meeting you and your pups! Why I love dog sitting: All my life I have lived with dogs until now. I grew up in a rural part of Massachusetts surrounded by dogs. I have always enjoyed their company but I wouldn’t call it dog sitting on account that your dog will probably not be doing all that much sitting around me unless they want to. I love hiking, kayaking and walking with dogs and feel the need to have a dog in my life. The only problem is I travel way too much regularly to give my full-time care and attention to a dog of my very own. So instead of getting a dog and spending a lot of time finding long term regular dog sitters, I decided to just become one myself and offer my services to the general public. Now I set the rover schedule to when I can provide the proper full-time love and attention your dog deserves while you are away, while also filling my own personal doggy-void of course.😇 My experience administering medication: I have experience medicating orally, topically, and so on. If you have a certain way you'd like to have your pets medicine administered (with treats, etc.) please let us know! 💕

Amazing!!! Words can’t describe how much I appreciate Evan for everything he did with my dog Sonic. He had lots of patience with him. My dog doesn’t stay with strangers and Evan did everything he could to ease him into the home. Communication was beyond my expectations and I appreciated every single text and picture showing how my dog enjoyed the outdoors and his naps. Will be definitely coming back to Evan for hep with our dog in the future.

I summer over in a quiet dog friendly cabin on a very dog friendly "street" its a dirt/gravel dead-end road that leads to a massive dog friendly lake. I've never met a dog (or a distraught owner) who doesn't love this place as much as me. 😍

Information Evan O. would like to know about your pet

I have no age or breed preferences here! Big, small, super young, super old, highly active, sleepy couch potato, they all get the same love and affection from pitbulls to pomeranians. I'd be more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if your dog is comfortable with me and my residence. The more information provided, the better I can help make your dogs stay here personalized and wonderful.

A typical day

A typical day here is catered towards your dog, and may consists of a morning routine, let out early morning pee/poop then Breakfast. Late morning walk, usually into the early afternoon depending on your dog. Snacks, treats, a swim on the lake. snuggling on the couch. belly rubs. Evening walk into sunset. Then back for Dinner and a late night pee/poop before bed. Some dogs like to stay up late and some prefer to sleep in early. Some dogs walk more than others but as far as I am concerned the land around here is limitless on foot. If your dog is younger and energetic, I'll walk with them around the light trails/yard and play with them until they sleep. If your dog is middle aged and well behaved, I'll plan out and walk with them to bigger destinations depending on their ability/excitement levels. If your dog is older and sweet, I'll walk with them around the cabin as much as they want and sit with them sleeping on the couch while I do administrative work.?
