Information Michael B. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are welcome and loved! Our home is rather small, so we have listed dogs under 40lbs, however are willing to sit up to 60lbs. I'd love to know the degree of pet and people friendliness to ensure your pet is comfortable and that we have compatibility with any other pets. Definitely let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions, allergies, or rules at home you'd like me to enforce (couch lounging okay?).

A typical day

When staying with us, we’ll take lots of strolls (and if your pup is up for it hopefully runs!) near the Charlestown Navy yard and Paul Revere dog park. Exploring Boston and the freedom trail by tail is a favorite weekend activity of ours! If your pup is older or just more of a homebody, that works too! We'll be happy to hang.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Michael. I’m originally from Northern New York, but have made Boston my home over the last 10+years. I currently live in Charlestown, but spend lots of time in Fenway, The North and Sound End, and Cambridge. I have cared for dogs throughout my life, and my wife and I are proud doggie parents to a mini Bernedoodle. I love to run, play catch, pick up sticks, well you get the drift. I hope my active lifestyle will match up with your pet's. And if your pup enjoys the couch life, I am game for that as well. Feel free to reach out with any questions about me or my experiences. We are conscientious, non-smoking, young professionals looking forward to helping out our neighbors with pet care. It has been a great joy to host dogs of all types and we look forward to meeting yours. As they say, as long as you have a dog by your side, anything is paw-sible!
