Puppy Retreat on a Quiet Street!
Pet care experience
We are a young, married couple with a little baby girl, Little E and we all a love for four-legged friends. We have been working through DogVacay and Rover for over three years and have had many wonderful visitors and experiences. We both grew up having dogs in the house, however, we do not currently have our own dog (yet!) I have 25 years of dog ownership; Jon 26. Through our lifetimes, we have owned Labs, a Maltese, a Lab/Shepard mix, and a shelter dog mutt. I personally have experience with dogs with PTSD, anxiety, and a neurological disorder that involved daily medication administration. Little E has inherited her parents love of pups and squeals and giggles whenever she sees a dog! In fact, she would only wave "hi" and "bye" to dogs until recently and blow her human family off! We live in a 2-bedroom, first floor condo just outside of Davis Sqaure in Somerville. We haveh a large living room, dining room and kitchen just outside of Davis Square in Somerville. We have a medium sized backyard,a large deck and live on a quiet, one-way, street (perfect for walks!) and within walking distance of the bike path, dog parks, parks and the Square. Outside of DogVacay, I work as an Athletic Trainer at a local high school. I usually leave for work late in the morning/noon, with weekends and school vacations off. Jon works at in the athletic department at a college in Boston and works early in the morning and is usually home in the mid-afternoon. My mother watches little E at home during the day and loves cuddling with her "grand-foster pups" as she loving calls them.

Reviews
Our 6-year-old dog Gigi stayed for a week with Sarah, Jon & their adorable baby girl. They were, in short, amazing and we would NOT hesitate to board Gigi with them again! During our meet & greet, Sarah & Jon immediately put me at ease and they clearly had a way w/dogs - Gigi isn't one to warm up quickly to strange humans, and she was sniffing and offering her belly to them for rubs soon after we arrived at their house. Further, Sarah & Jon had NO issue with our high-maintenance pooch - she requires three different eye drops a couple of times per day. It was so awesome to go away feeling confident that she'd be getting her meds. While we were away, we got texts every day, updating us on walks, sending adorable photos and Gigi and baby E, etc. - fun to know what was going on and again, reassuring that Gigi was happy. Sarah & Jon truly treated Gigi like their own dog - she was allowed on furniture and even to sleep with them - dreamy for our girl!! And here's the kicker, these two even went above and beyond - it turned out that one of Gigi's meds ran out while we were away . . . not only did they get in touch right away, but they went and picked up a new bottle - it was inconvenient, to say the least, but we were so grateful!! We picked Gigi up tonight - she was relaxed and happy and we would not hesitate to recommend this family for dog sitting!
Bella had a wonderful time with Sarah and Jon! They took such wonderful care of her. She felt completely at home.
Put it this way, Kitt didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up.
Sarah was fantastic in every way, she responded quickly and took wonderful care of Charlie. Would absolutely love to have them watch Charlie whenever we're heading out of town
