Loves dogs like they’re my own!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Tina, nice to meet you! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and love all breeds! I live with my fiance (we’ve been together for 5 years) and we live close to the Charles River as well as a dog park so we are able to give your pup all the exercise he/she needs. One very important thing to note about us: we will both love your pet like he/she is our own! We’re both working from home 3 days a week, but are both always in the office on Tuesdays. Outside of that, we alternate schedules so between the two of us your pup will have plenty of attention. We have a little yard out back where your dog can take potty breaks frequently, play outside and lounge (with us present of course). We’re always ready to take walks, provide snuggles and play! If you’re comfortable with it, we will gladly take your pet on walks or hikes in or around Boston. Or, if you’d rather, we are also happy to lay low and provide endless scratchies, tummy rubs and kisses. A little about Tina: I grew up in CT and attended Fordham University where I earned my BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing. I moved up to Boston after graduating and currently work as a Marketing Manager. In my spare time I like to cook, stay active (whether at the gym or outside) and explore all Boston and the surrounding area has to offer. A little about Shane: He grew up in MA and attended Boston College, graduating with an Economics degree. He also works for TJX (we met playing TJX intramural softball) as a Manager of Merchandise Flow. He’s a lover of all sports, but baseball is his favorite! We want to make sure that we keep your home routine intact and will accommodate any special needs for your pet. Please reach out with any and all questions/concerns! Looking forward to meeting you!

Callie is always so happy to go back to Tina, Shane, and Mazie that she pulls us to their door to get there faster! She has fun and care, and we have peace of mind and pictures.

Tina and Shane were great! Our dog can be shy in new environments but Tina and Shane made sure she was comfortable and kept us updated with cute pictures.

Tina is a reliable, accommodating, and caring sitter. She has taken care of Callie multiple times, and I'm sure that we'll call on her again.

Tina and Shane were so so great once again. This is the second time we have left out Maisey with them while we are away and they are so wonderful with her. Thank you again Tina and Shane!

We are open to all breeds but our one requirement is that the dog is house trained. Please also let us know when your pup usually eats, how long between bathroom breaks and if there’s a special treat he/she likes so we can stock up!

A typical day

Our walks and activities can and will be whatever you’re comfortable with! We live right by the river and can walk along the path, or if your pet likes to ride in the car we can happily take your fur baby on hikes, trails or to socialize with other dogs at various dog parks around the city, beaches (when dogs are allowed on the sand), and breweries. Anything your dog particularly loves? Let us know!!
