Information Nathan & Paula D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Please note any dietary needs, feeding times and when your dog likes to get up in the AM.

A typical day

We love getting to know your dog by interacting and playing with them in our backyard. We will also take them on walks around the neighborhood and at the beautiful Back Bay trails just a short walk from our house. There’s also a big park just few blocks away that is great for playing fetch and meeting other dogs that love the open space. If your dog enjoys long runs, I'm more than happy to take them with me on 3 - 4 mile runs at the back bay and have done this with a fair share of visiting dogs so far. If your dog is high- energy and has good stamina, then these runs are a great option.

Nathan and Paula took such great care of our dog. They would send pics everyday and update us on how he was doing. They are so sweet and I definitely recommend them and will continue to use them. Thanks again!

Friendly, sweet and took care of my dog the way I would’ve hoped. Sent several cute photos of them playing in their beautiful home. Highly recommended!
