🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home
Your dog deserves a vacation too! Why leave your best friend in a busy kennel when they can enjoy a peaceful, home-style stay on three beautiful acres in southern New Hampshire? When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. They’ll enjoy plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles, with lots of space to explore, comfy places to relax, toys, and even DOGTV (a favorite of my two Dalmatians, Dixon and Cora!). I also work in East Boston at a very dog-friendly hotel, which allows me to bring dogs with me during the day if needed. They get frequent potty breaks, walks, supervised play in our secure courtyard, and lots of companionship, so they’re never left alone. Every dog is treated like an individual. Whether they love to play all day or prefer relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You’ll receive multiple photo and updates every day, so you’ll always know how your pup is doing. My flexible schedule also makes it easy to accommodate both planned trips and last-minute getaways. Booking Information • Meet-and-greets are required before every first stay. • Pickup and drop-off should be scheduled within your reserved booking window. • Dogs must be friendly with other dogs, as they’ll be staying with my two friendly Dalmatians, Dixon and Cora. I’d love to meet you and your pup!

Ratings and reviews
John - aka the dog whisperer - is the most wonderful dog sitter you could wish for. Marnie is now a regular and she absolutely adores John and his harem of pups. The best there is. Thanks, as always! 🐶
John is exceptionall - our dog loves being with him and his pups. He’s the consummate professional and takes care of her like she’s his own. 100% recommend John and he’s our go-to sitter. Thanks for taking care of Marnie so well 🐶
John was the best with our pup! He kept us updated with several pictures throughout the day, and they were the best pics i’ve ever seen of my dog. I had solid peace of mind knowing that Frankie was having fun with other dogs and being well-loved and taken care of.
John did an amazing job watching Dakiti this weekend! He sent us photos constantly, so we always knew Dakiti was happy and well taken care of. You can tell he genuinely loves animals and enjoys what he does. Dakiti loved him, and we felt completely at ease the whole time. We'll definitely book him again and highly recommend him!
So happy to have found John - fantastic dog sitting service with A* quality. Easy to communicate with and looked after our dog like his own. I’d thoroughly recommend his services and would definitely use them again. 10/10 🐾🐶
If I could give John more than five stars, I would. He accepted Loki on emergency short notice after another sitter cancelled, and spent the weekend pampering Loki like no one else! He was even willing to watch Loki for an extra day after my flight back was severely delayed.

Schedule
Pet care is part of my everyday life. My two Dalmatians are family, and every guest dog is treated the same way with plenty of playtime, exercise, potty breaks, enrichment, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I have a flexible hospitality schedule, and when appropriate, guest dogs are welcome to join me at my dog-friendly workplace in East Boston, so they’re never left alone. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home throughout their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a loving home environment on three peaceful acres in New Hampshire, where dogs have plenty of room to explore, play, and relax under supervision. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and designed to make every guest feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and any special needs before their stay. I closely supervise all interactions and introduce dogs thoughtfully to ensure everyone gets along. My two friendly Dalmatians, Dixon and Cora, love having canine guests, and they help create a fun, social environment. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates throughout your dog’s stay, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and having their own vacation while you’re away.

A typical day
I usually take a long walk around Lake Kenoza located at Winnekenni Castle. The trail is 3 miles. Winnekenni Castle is 5.1 miles from me . If there is a specific location/park that your pet enjoys, I would be more than happy to accommodate. I have plenty of space in my yard for your pet to run around and let there energy out. They will be supervised at all times.

- Before your pet’s stay, I’ll ask that you provide the following information: • Is your pet friendly with other dogs and people? • Is your pet current on all required vaccinations? • Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special needs I should know about? • Your veterinarian’s name and phone number. • Your primary contact number, along with an emergency contact. I welcome dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes. I do not have any breed restrictions or preferences every dog is welcome, provided they are friendly with both people and other dogs.
