Before hosting your pup, please most importantly update your pets profile or provide us with their most recent vaccination record. This helps us ensure safety for all. When we confirm your pup is up to date with their necessary vaccines, we will also confirm with you that your pup is friendly with children and other dogs. We have two toddlers and the company of other fur friends very regularly. It’s okay if you’re unsure if your pup is great with children, we have been in the D.O.G business for quite a while and generally by the end of the meet and greet we will have a pretty good idea of whether or not we are a good fit. Once we have confirmed vaccinations, and friendly with children and other dogs, then we will discuss arranging a meet and greet. During the meet and greet you can share with us details about pups personality, behavior traits (good and bad) any allergies, recent injuries, and/or medical needs they may have, and lastly their daily routine. All this information is hugely helpful as it allows us to provide the best care possible for your pup without missing a beat. Zero Tolerance for Aggressive Behavior: What we are specifically referring to is any behavior connected with an attack, that regularly occurs, and includes any of the following: Baring teeth and growling Snapping Lunging Biting This is something we take very seriously. I have two very small children and often have other dogs in and out or overnight. So if your dog has a tendency of showing aggressive behavior or tends to be unpredictable, our household may not necessarily be the right fit. Our goal is to make sure your dog is safe and happy so they can thrive while you are away. For all new clients requesting extended stays exceeding 3 nights, we will require a one night boarding trial. Lastly, we do not guarantee solo stays.

I live in very close proximity to Fisher Hill Reservoir Park which has been an awesome place to take the pups for nice long morning-afternoon-evening walks. This park has beautiful meadow pathways, a large open field, and a really nice water fountain. It’s especially dog friendly, so you can guarantee your pup will make a new friend! I also live very close to the Brookline Reservoir which is another place we can enjoy a nice walk with scenic views. During the afternoons your pup will have the option of attending doggie playgroup in which my spouse and I take the dogs to the dog park for 2 hours (generally one of the three: Filippello Dog Park, Hunnewell Dog Park, or Howe Dog Park) My spouse and I also enjoy the outdoors very much and occasionally we may hit the trails with the pups so long as it’s appropriate given their age/health (Hammond Pond Reservation, Blue Hills) In the evenings my family and I enjoy kicking back on the couch watching television while snuggling up with the pups and giving lots of belly rubs! If this sounds like activities and the kind of company your pup would enjoy while you’re away, contact me!
