Pet care experience

We know how stressful it is to find reliable sitters for your fur babies and we’d love to be the family that provides a loving home for your dog(s) during their stay. We have a full but fun house that we’d love to have your pets be a part of - we have two "Pomimos": Chester & Maddie, who will also be keen to have friends to hang on the couch with, a four year old with an eager energy to help and play, and a baby who absolutely loves watching dogs run around our home. Needless to say, your pet will be thoroughly entertained the entire stay! Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to taking meeting you!

Robert and Jen were wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone. Very enthusiastic and constantly saying how much they loved the dogs (that's what any dog owner wants to hear!). My dogs are big and strong and they didn't have any problems with them; also said their daughter enjoyed them. Many pictures and good care. I would certainly use them again. I did leave a tip yesterday when I picked the dogs up.

Robert was very welcoming and loving with our dog. He was very patient in introducing her into their household and made her a part of their family/pack. He also regularly sent pictures and videos showing that our dog was relaxed and entertained. He clearly loves and understands dogs.

Robert and his family are FANTASTIC. This was the second time they took my Millie when I was away. They are so kind and loving with both their dogs and mine, sent me regular updates with photos, and really cared about making it a good experience. I really trust them and will be calling them next time I travel for sure. Thank you, Robert!!

My wife, Jen, works from home and loves to take breaks to give the dogs hugs, pats and plenty of attention! We have a spacious grass patch in the back of our home so potty breaks happen 4-5 times a day. When the weather is nice, we love to take longer walks around the Charles River or down to Moody.
