“Fitz really loves spending time with David. When I dropped him off, his tail wagged so hard and he nearly leapt out of the car to see him. David is always communicative and kind. We are so grateful for him!”
“Meredith took great care of Benny during his stay. She responded to all messages quickly and sent us updates throughout! We appreciated that she was able to take Benny for daycare on relatively short notice too.”
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.
“Emma was great with our 12 year old cockapoo. She was communicative, on time, and sent lots of pictures. Quincy loved his time with her and we'll be using her again!”
“Edward and Shyana took the best care of my dog Nash while I had to work. Nash got some great walks and lots of pets from them. Edward and Shyana are incredibly kind and I’m so grateful to have found people like them to look after my pup. It put me at ease all day knowing my dog was in their care!”
“Jennifer and Darren are both wonderful. She even made homemade treats for a friend and shared them with Kingsley, sent him some for home and he loved them! Thanks for being flexible as well, I was running late for pick-up and she was super kind about it.”
About: I’ve taken care of and trained many puppies/dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 6 years old and am now a pup parent to my own 4 month old mini dachshund. I’ve had terriers, Rottweilers, goldens, Dalmatians, dachshunds etc. and know the kind of specific care and love needed for each breed. These babies have their own little souls and I’d love to help out any loving pet parents and reduce any stress or fear you may have when leaving them in the care of someone else. I’m super active on my phone and work from home so am available on demand and ready with pictures and updates for peace of mind. Looking forward to working together soon and meeting you furry family members! I work from home and have my own puppy so I’m available almost 24/7 for walks and potty time before, after, and during work hours and on weekends. I live in a high end apartment with lots of doggy amenities including many green spaces and fenced play areas for lots of potty breaks and long walks. I have my own small friendly pup who can keep yours company and tire them out as well as have crates and gates available, lots of toys, and ramps for the smaller dogs to save their backs!
“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.”
“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. She sent me photo updates throughout the evening and Jack honestly looked right at home! I can’t say enough good things about them- Thank you so much Dayna, Paul, Pumpkin and Louie!!”
“Zoe took great of our puppy Maple! She was very communicative, sent us pictures, and loved on her all throughout the day! We are really pleased and will be using her again :)”
“Rita was so easy to talk to and so patient and attentive, we really appreciated her communication and updates! Waffle was happy and content when we picked him up :)”
“Cannot put into words how great she is! So easy to communicate with, she sent so many pictures throughout the day - which I loved. Bean got so much play time and became best friends with her pup!”
“Bridget was responsible and so flexible with an early morning daycare drop off! Minnie looked well cared for when I picked her up. Definitely will be booking again!”
“Caitlin did an excellent job caring for my anxious dog. She kept me updated with photos and about the day’s activities. Her communication throughout the process was professional and responsive. I am definitely having Caitlin watch my girl again!”
“Our first Roover experience for us and we are so happy about Vienna's stay! Jim and his four years old little boy took amazing care of her and shared some cute videos at the park playing with her favorite ball over the day. We felt super relieved to see that she had a great day and was not too difficult (2 year old high energy golden at home and we were a bit anxious to give her away for a day). Everything went really well and we can't recommend enough Jim! We will use him again next time we need it! :)”
“Emily and Robbie were great! Really responsive, sent a lot of photos, really made my dog feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Emily was great with Bailey! She was very flexible with our schedules and we felt very comfortable leaving Bailey under her care. Will definitely be bringing Bailey back”
About: Raised with rescue dogs, I know that every dog has a story. I’m patient, understanding, and always ready to provide individualized care and affection for your dog. I can provide basic training, manage special diets or medications, or anything else to adapt to what your dog needs. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to give your pet lots of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the entire day. Whether your dog stays with me or I come to you, I make sure they feel right at home. I will make sure they stay on their routine, get in some playtime/chill time, and lots of belly rubs!
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Nolan was with my puppy Tater. I work pretty long days and Nolan happily took my boy several days a week for 9-10 hours for $25 a day. A DAY!!! And he did it with pleasure. And he’s doing it again. And he’d probably pay ME instead... That’s how kind and flexible we’re talking. Nolan is officially my go-to person for puppy care and I couldn’t be more psyched to have connected with him. It should also be noted that there is a really awesome community of Tufts students on here who know each other and help one another out with scheduling. Nolan is one of several friends that I’ve been able to rely on and it’s definitely an added bonus to know there’s a circle of people willing to communicate and work together to get people like myself the care we’re looking for. Thank you so so much Nolan!”
“Alexandra is the best dog sitter in the Southie area! Cash loves getting dropped off for daycare and spending the day with her. She is super good at sending updates throughout the day and checking in. 100% recommend Alexandra’s services!!”

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.”

Gillian R.
“Gillian is an extreme animal lover. Her entire life has loved horses, dogs, cats, any animal you can think of, she even had 11 toads at one point. Additionally she has recently gotten a dog, a small doxin believe is the breed and in the 21 years I've known her I don't think I've ever seen a person have more maternal instincts over a dog. She recently came to visit me for a weekend and left her dog with her boyfriend and needed constant updates on training, cute pictures and even had facetime calls to see the dog. I honestly don't think there is anything she wouldn't do for her new puppy. Personally seeing how she treats her own dog and her relationship with animals in the past there isn't anyone I would trust more to take care of a furry family member.”
