Active and responsible dog lovers!

Pet care experience

We are the loving parents to two healthy and well-trained dogs (Bernese mountain dog and Siberian husky), and would love to take care of your pup! We have been taking care of our friends' and coworkers' dogs for over 10 years. My name is Jon and I worked in a professional dog training facility as a dog handler for 4 years, and am very comfortable with all types of dogs and energies. Maybe your pup might learn a new command or trick! My fiancé loves to take pictures of our dogs, and we will happily send you regular updates during your dog's vacation. :) We love to go hiking or to the beach with our dogs on weekends, and our morning/evenings walks are disciplined (at heel!) and long. We are very respectful of your wishes and requirements for your dog during their stay with us - it's very important to us that you and your dog feel safe and comfortable. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

Jonathan and Fran took the best care of our puppy Logan while we were away for the weekend. They sent frequent pictures and updates, and overall had great communication with us the whole weekend. They gave him lots of attention and treated him like one of their own! We will definitely leave Logan with them again next time we go away, and would absolutely recommend Jonathan and Fran.

Jonathan and Francesca were the best. I’m a new dog momma and it was the first time i was leaving him alone. I was so worried about leaving him but they were sending me pictures and updates the whole time, my baby was so happy! If I ever need my baby watched again, they will for sure be the ones I go to!

Jon and Francesca did a awesome job taking care my 15 months old puppy for 4 days. It was my first time leave my puppy at sitter’s place and they did an amazing job sending photos and videos. My puppy looked super happy with his doggy friends. Will definitely come back and highly recommended Jon and Francesca especially you and your puppy are new to dog boarding!

I can not say enough about Jonathan and Francesca! They did an exceptional job taking care of my dog for 2 weeks. They communicated regularly, sent pictures..and most of all I could see that they were excellent caregivers. Usually when I board my dog at a kennel there is a behavior change that I can notice. That was not the case when she stayed with Jonathan and Francesca. She was as happy as could be! Thanks again guys!!

Information Jonathan D. would like to know about your pet

We'd like to know about your dog's energy levels and health, and what your dog's regular routine is!

A typical day

We live a block away from the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a 2,000+ acre park where we take long walks with our dogs throughout the trail system. There is also a dog park just a few blocks away for free-range play! We love taking dogs for hikes all over MA and NH on weekends, as well as to beaches for some salty fun! When home, we offer lots of cuddles and playtime, as well as a session or two of doggy kindergarten/trick-learning.
