Pet care experience
I pride myself on taking lots of photos and providing updates for every dog who stays with us. I will text or email photos and for longer stays I'll provide photo galleries with dozens or hundreds of pictures throughout a dog's stay. (Depending on length of stay.) You will definitely receive photos of your dog during their stay with us from the first day to the last!! I am a dog lover without a dog of my own at the moment and thought this would be a useful service I could offer to others in my community. I love dogs and will treat yours just as I would my own while they are in mhy home. (Being careful to follow all of your instructions of course). I live in a pet-friendly apartment near a lot of nice parks and pathways in East Boston. It's just one T stop from downtown Boston (waterfront/financial district), or I'm right off of 1A or 90 by car. If you're flying, it may be convenient that I'm very close to Logan. I don't have many of my own rules inside... about keeping off of furniture and that sort of thing, but I am always careful to follow any rules that come with each dog. I watch only one dog at a time, although we will occasionally make exceptions for dogs from the same family or my regulars who I know get along very well with other dogs, but only with the explicit permission of everyone involved. I have a small place but there is plenty of room for favorite toys, beds, blankets, etc. There wasn't an option like Rover when I had my last dog, Billy. I didn't feel comfortable leaving him at a kennel, which really limited what I was able to do for a long time. I love that I can provide a home away from home with the fun and attention all dogs deserve so that you can feel comfortable leaving your dog when you need to, knowing that they'll be well cared for.
Reviews
Jennifer was a wonderful host for my pup Tilly over a long weekend. She was super communicative throughout Tilly’s stay and very flexible when my return flight was changing throughout the day. This was my first time leaving Tilly with a rover sitter and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I will definitely look to book Jennifer again in the future!
Jennifer was super awesome with our dog Barley! He’s a 115 lb. Newfoundland and can be a handful, but she took great care of him and even appeared to enjoy it :) Appreciated the clear communication and pictures she sent. Would definitely recommend!
Jenn was amazing! She took care of my dog Silas with so much love and care. He is a pretty anxious dog and she knew exactly how to handle his anxieties. She also sent so many great pictures and videos which left me at ease. Can’t wait to book another stay with Jenn the next time we need to leave town!
Thanks for taking such good care of my pup and treating her like family. I appreciate all the lovely photos you share as well.

When dogs stay with me I just treat them as I would my own pet. I try to cater to their preferences for activity - there are lots of parks nearby, but if your dog is more of a couch potato that's OK too! I like to get to know the pups who stay with me and figure out their personality and then I make sure to do what makes them happiest.

Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, regardless of size, breed, lack of breeding, even lack of manners. :) I only require that a dog not be destructive to my home. I am happy to work with nervous or timid dogs, lazy dogs, active dogs...
A typical day
I will take your dog for a walk the length of their preference in the morning and throughout the day as they need. I will spend a lot of time with them making sure they get their favorite activities in, whether that is being a couch potato or going for adventures in the park. If they like to play, I will be sure we get a lot of time in playing their favorite games!

I'm not at home as often as I was in the past so I'm needing to stick to mostly weekends and shorter stays now, but I still love to host dogs when I can!
