About: At Crate Escape, safety is our top priority. We maintain a secure, clean, and well-supervised environment where every dog is monitored by experienced staff. All dogs undergo a temperament trial before joining group play to ensure compatibility and minimize stress. Playgroups are carefully matched by size, temperament, and energy level, with continuous supervision to prevent overstimulation or conflict. Our facilities are equipped with secure fencing, climate control, and sanitized daily using pet-safe disinfectants. We also follow strict vaccination requirements and emergency protocols to ensure every dog in our care is safe, healthy, and happy.
“Lauren was amazing with our dog, Coda. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. She was warm, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. We got updated during the work day, and it was clear he was happy and at ease in her care. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were at work. We couldn't ask for a better sitter — Coda can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver.”

“Nick and his wife were super kind and caring. Made for a very comfortable feeling when leaving my pup. They have 2 gorgeous, friendly dogs that I'm sure are best friends to any dog they watch.”
“Tracy was amazing and my dog had the best day. He loves to sleep and snuggle and had a calm, restful day which is just what he needed. I take him to doggy daycare too and it wipes him out so it was amazing to find someone who works remotely who could give him 1:1 time, relax and play.”
“Tiffany took amazing care of our senior chihuahua Monki. Monki can be shy and nervous with new people but he loved Tiffany immediately. She made sure to understand Monki’s needs at drop off and remained very communicative throughout their time together. We really appreciated all the updates and pictures! We would recommend Tiffany!”

“Rebecca took such good care of our doggo 🥰 We just moved in from out of town and were worried about finding someone that could watch our shy dog when we’re out. We haven’t seen our dog warm up to someone so quick!! He came back super calm and happy 😊!! Rebecca was great at giving us updates, we felt so at ease while we were out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from Louie too 🐾”
“Dayna agreed to take my 1 year old Shih Tzu, Jack on a last minute basis while I worked a few overnight shifts and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving him with her and Paul.

About: Hello! Growing up I had a Havanese and now my family has a Bernedoodle, but moving to the city I miss my furry friend! Sometimes I will have him (pictured on my profile) at my apartment while my parents are away. I have experience caring for both small and large breeds, while providing attentive, loving, and personalized care for every pup. I'd love to give your pups some love while you're at work/away 🥰 I am currently looking for a full time corporate position, so I would love to fill my free time right now with dog sitting and walking! I am extremely flexible on the weekdays and potentially have weekend availability here and there! I'll make sure each dog gets regular potty breaks and walks tailored to their age, energy level, and needs. I pay close attention to their surroundings during walks to keep them safe. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, an energetic walk, or a quick bathroom break, I ensure every outing is positive, safe, and enjoyable.
About: I have had dogs since I was 9 years old (now 24). Both of my dogs were rescues that I got when they were puppies, so I have experience raising them from a young age! Sadly my first dog Dasher passed on last year, but that did give me experience caring for elderly dogs with health complications as well. I also have dog sat for many friends and strangers for time periods of a day to 2 months. I’ve never owned a cat, but have watched them for short periods before. I currently am not working (here for dental school, but it does not start until July 28th) so I am very open when it comes to my schedule. I miss my dogs greatly since moving to Boston, and would like to direct every shred of that love and affection towards your babies! I have experience with creating a safe environment for dogs that have mental health struggles (it is important to tailor a dog’s environment to it; let’s set them up for success!) If you are worried about your dog eating things it should not, please rest easy knowing that I take it as an utmost priority to keep the environment safe for my dogs.
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals (like chicken, dogs, and cats) since I was 7. My brother and neighbors can always count on me to keep their fur animals safe and happy! I'm currently a stay at home mom with 3 friend kids to keep your pup happy. I have a flexible schedule that can match your prefered scheduling. I have 3 friendly and energetic kids to keep your pup company! We love going on walks and to the park, and we hope your pet does so too!
“Erin was absolutely amazing with Milo! I felt confident leaving my puppy with her because I knew he was in good hands. Such a great experience for my first time booking on Rover!”
About: My name is Dave, I love dogs, cats, and all animals. I grew up with a half black lab half rottweiler. I'll treat your animals as if they were my own. My availability is open during most weeks. Please contact me with any other question you may have. I’m currently working weekends and have open availability during the week between 10am-6pm. I’ll have plenty of time during the day to take animals on walks to local parks. After going over with the pet owners on their animal/s behaviors, I follow their guidelines on how to take care of the pet/s best. Going on walks, playing in parks, or just keeping the animals company in home.

Crate Escape - CharlestownLocal facility
“Crate Escape is amazing! I have three dogs who all attend and absolutely love it. My dog Skye goes to the High Spirited Hounds program and has a blast. Skye is an amazing dog who has some behavioral concerns so regular day care wasn’t a good fit for her. I’m so grateful that High Spirited Hounds is a perfect fit. She is able to go, get enrichment and training. She comes home tired at the end of the day, happy, and with better manners. I couldn’t be happier with the program. My other two dogs Pilot and Twix go to Crate Escape’s daycare and also absolutely love it! They have so much fun and are so excited to go in the morning. It’s so clear that the staff truly care about Pilot, Twix, and Skye, and keep them safe and happy during the day. I couldn’t be more grateful for Crate Escape and how much my dogs love it there, and I would recommend Crate Escape highly to anyone looking for a program for their dog.”

Whether he is taking them for a hike, walk, swim, or just spending some time with them, Dave always finds ways to make his pups bark with joy! My husband and I have a lab named Marley who, when she sees Dave, runs to her playmate as if he was her family. There isn't anyone I trust more with my furbaby than Dave.”
