Puppo Pal

Pet care experience

Hi there, I grew up with both dogs and cats in my house and have always had lots of love for all kinds of animals (yes, even spiders lol). I have a lot of extra free time but not enough to have a pet of my own, so I’d love to hang out with yours as needed! I’ve always been able to connect with dogs and most cats. I’ve looked after dogs in both my personal and professional lives. There’s a mutual respect I strive to maintain, which looks different for every puppo based on their needs, so I can be as firm or nurturing as needed for the dog’s temperament. I work remotely full time during the day and although I will be busy between data entry and conference calls, I can still provide constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks and play time. I am very familiar with dogs that aren’t very social or are reactive with other dogs- so the dog parks can be avoided if needed. I tend to avoid other dogs on walks regardless, to make sure your pup stays safe and relaxed. I always want to provide the best possible care and always appreciate insights into your dogs habits, personality and quirks! I have done dog boarding at my home for years but unfortunately the building sold and I am in the process of relocating within the Boston area, so I am no longer able to host furry friends at my place but I am happy to come to yours.

John is a lovely person who took excellent care of our 3.5 year old golden retriever. John provided updates and was flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Our pup came back happy and clearly well cared for. Thanks John!

recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to John, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He is an exceptional dog sitter who went above and beyond to provide exceptional care for my beloved Valkyrie. Thank you, John, for being an exceptional dog sitter and giving me the peace of mind I needed while I was away. You're amazing!

John did a great job taking care of our 1-year old boxer Rowan. He asked great questions upfront and was very communicative. He sent pictures and updates each day.

I am happy to interact with your dog as much or as little as desired depending on their needs & energy level. We can go on walks, play games that your dog enjoys (fetch, tug of war, etc.), or simply snuggle and chill.
