"Your dog will be safe and loved."
Pet care experience
My wife Cheena and I are dog lovers since childhood, relishing their beautiful, playful nature and enjoying their warm companionship. For years we lived with and loved two retrievers who both passed suddenly, breaking our hearts. We didn't want to rush out and get new dogs, but started doing Rover, caring for different dogs. To our great delight, we're finding that it's a great thing to give love and caring to dogs who come to our home even temporarily, making their lives and ours better. We pet them a lot, talk to them, and take long walks with them. We have a huge fenced in yard and a fully carpeted house for dog safety. You can leave your dog in our care without guilt and with peace of mind that they will be safe and loved. We won't spoil them (well, maybe just a little). We can care best for dogs who are well trained on leash and under 70 pounds and we are most comfortable with dogs who are not aggressive with other dogs. We will treat them like part of the family!
Reviews
Thank you, as always, for taking good care of Ruthie. We love all the updates and beautiful photos. She always comes home happy.
Thank you for taking awesome care of our Ruthie :)
We just had another fantastic stay with Stephen and his wife. Our dog loves staying there and is reluctant to leave. He's well cared for, gets out and about every day and enjoys his time there. He also has a chance to make another friend and we appreciate that there is typically only one other dog staying at the same time. Stephen takes extra care to get the dogs out and also make sure they get along. We're always happy to see the daily photos and videos we get during a stay.
They were great! Will definitely ask them to take care of Otis again.

Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet
We love all dogs, big or small, but prefer big dogs to be good on leash. We also prefer breeds known for their gentle, unaggressive nature.
A typical day
We take long walks in the nearby park in Charleston Meadow neighborhood and on Park St. where there are few cars. We also go to Baylands often for longer walks.
