Boarding dogs in Mass. since 2015
Pet care experience
All dogs MUST NOT BE AGGRESSIVE in any way towards humans or dogs and MUST be well house trained and also spayed or neutered. They must also be tolerant of toddlers as we have a very active 14 month old who is NOT afraid of dogs. We live in a townhome and do not have a yard, but we do let the dogs play together on our deck. We board only 2 dog guests at a time. We have a 15-year-old Border Collie who is tolerant of all dogs and a 4 year old AmStaff who is very playful. All dogs get indoor play and 2 walks per day and we go to dog parks often. I read and watch everything "dogs" and have experience with many breeds. I will follow whatever exercise, training, feeding, or socialization rules you have in place and I send regular updates and pictures and even videos ( if you request them). My goal is to offer a fun, comfortable experience for your dog while you are away, for a great price, simply because I LOVE dogs and understand that you love them too! GO DOGS!
Reviews
I have used Jason numerous times and always have a great experience. Jason went the extra mile on the latest visit as my dog had two accidents in his home. She apparently became ill and ran out of food. Jason without complaint took care of everything and communicated what was going on. I was very appreciative of the extra treatment he provided.
Jsaon did a great job with recent stay of our dog. We were initially nervous as this was our first time using Rover and we had only used kennel before. His honest and regular updates put us at ease and we knew our dog is in good hands. We appreciate the time he spent in taking good care of our dog.
Jason (and his family) is the perfect place for our dog Harper. Jason kept us updated on how Harper was and Harper, who is normally not fond of socializing with other dogs, appeared to be relaxed and well loved in the photos. Highly recommend Jason!
Jason and his family were great with our dog Harper — they were really accommodating when we had to extend our trip, learned our command system so that they could help Harper practice for us, and took great initiative in getting to know Harper’s personality, habits, insecurities, and preferences so that they could provide her with the best care! They worked with her patiently to help her get over her separation anxiety and overcome her shyness around their family dogs, and she was visibly comfortable and happy when we picked her up after our trip. Jason gave us frequent, honest updates to let us know how she was doing, and he took some really good photos of her. I’d definitely board Harper with him again in the future!

A typical day
I have a 15 year old Border Collie who does not play much anymore, but will occasionally try to play with small dogs. I also have a 4 year old Amstaff who is very playful and gets very excited during meet and greets. Once he calms down, he is a very good dog. We let the dogs play on our deck and we go for walks in the neighborhood.
