Pet care experience

Coulter's Pet Care of Somerville

What to say... I LOVE dogs/animals. I can't remember not having a dog as a pet and as an adult have always had at least one Scottie (Briar was my third Scottie). I have had the opportunity to have multiple animals as "family members" in my household for years. Now retired, I find myself with more time on my hands. In addition, a few years back my Cairn Terrier (Ferris) passed away - Briar became lonely, so we used Rover to find a few new playmates on occasion; he loved to play. The yard is a park like setting completely fenced in an awesome neighborhood with Landstrom Park just up the road which is a great place to walk your pets. I have the time, experience, passion and patience to care, putting an owner's mind at ease that "All is Well" with their furry family members. Since this description about me, Briar passed away; he was 14. March 16, 2005 - March 26, 2019. The place is now called Camp Briar in his honor.

James took great care of our pup, Orca. It’s always hard for us to leave him so we were really happy to receive pictures and communication from James throughout the time he had him. Orca was calm and comfortable with James when we dropped off and picked him up. We will be using James again in the future if we can!

Excellent. My Molly was very well taken care of and had a good time. Definitely would recommend. James was very flexible with times and accommodating. Will be back next time we're in Rockford for a tournament!!!

James cared for Myrtle for her first sleep-away. I had never left her before and was very nervous, but James alleviated my nervousness, and Myrtle was comfortable with him right away. When I picked her up, she was so relaxed, I could tell she had been well cared for in my absence. I take her with me whenever possible, but the next time I must leave her, we will be calling James again.

Pets

A typical day

A lot of playtime in a nice home with a completely fenced-in park like backyard and 24/7 attention. They can also be walked with the park being right up the road.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
James can host up to 3 pets per night
I prefer a meet and greet to know that a pet is also pet friendly and to acquaint them and the owner of where they will be staying and doing. This also provides an opportunity to discuss any special needs and care instructions for the owners' pet(s).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
