I am a Licensed/Certified Boarder. I have passed inspections and carry a special permit per Massachusetts Law. My home has been thoroughly inspected both inside and outside by the Town Animal Control officer to ensure your pets are safe and secure when in my care :) I have been a big animal lover my whole life and being able to take care of and play with different animals is so much fun and makes my heart feel full:) I have also rescued many animals from squirrels to birds and have a special place in my heart for animals in need of help. I love to play and even help train dogs. Animals with special needs are more than welcome here and I would tend to their every need. IWe have just over 2 acres of land and a fenced in area with chickens who are fenced separate from pups. Your family member would be happy to be here:) I provide a true “Vacation” for your pets while you are away! I am equipped and ready to work with all dog types. I cannot board any dogs who are aggressive to other animals or people for safety to all. This is a full-time job for me and animals are a true passion of mine. If you would like pictures and videos of recent guests just ask and you shall receive :) If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I am caring for pets full time! We do not crate (unless asked by owner). Pets can feel like they are on vacation when you are on vacation!!! All pets we care for are treated as if they are members of our family. We offer a day of activities for your pet whether they like to play catch, lounge under trees, etc. We have access in and out of our house with minimal steps that is great for more senior dogs who have a hard time walking. You will not be disappointed if you trust in me and my family! ***When packing your pup(s) for their stay they really only need food, leash/collar/tags, favorite treats(I have some here but may pack your own), medications (if necessary), and your preferred care instructions (how much food they eat, medication instructions, etc.). You may pack bedding and a couple favorite toys if you think your pup will be more at home but I have found that none of the pups are interested in those things when they come here so not necessary if you don’t want to pack so much. I have many items such as bowls, toys, bedding, treats, sprinklers for hot days, etc. I do not crate unless asked by owner. All pups need to be up to date on vaccines and rabies. I will need to take a copy of them and keep them on file here:)
