Charlie from Natick, MA

“Our basset hound, Charlie, has stayed with Marcia several times, and he just loves it!  He has a great time going on long walks, playing in Marcia’s great backyard, and playing with Roxie.  He always comes home happy and tired.  Going away is easier knowing that Charlie is well taken care of.”

“We first called Marcia after hearing great things about her from neighbors who have used her services in the past.  When she arrived for a “getting acquainted” visit, to our suprise we recognized her as an old friend whom we had seen in the woods with her own dogs many times in Sherborn and Wellesley! Marcia did a terrific job for us — she is a great listener, conscientious, detail oriented and prompt, and most importantly, has an innate concern for and bond with animals.  Our vacation was doubly relaxing knowing that Sidney was in her care.  She is a true dog person, we recommend her highly and will definitely be using her services again!   DP- Sherborn, MA

Note: I have provided overnight care home visits for Sidney and Charlie, the cat, whereas Maeby and Grace have been boarding guests of HousePETality on a number of occasions.

Bizi from Sherborn, MA

“It has always  been my job to find a place for out dog, Bizi, to “vacation” when our family goes away…I had been through a number of people and places before finding Marcia.  I would spend too much time worrying about our dog and not relaxing. After finding Marcia, I’ve been able to enjoy our family vacations with little to no concern about how Bizi might be treated. I worry now that he won’t want to come back to our home after a week with Marcia and Roxie. She is reliable, considerate of his physical and emotional needs, and completely dedicated to making sure that he is safe and happy.  In short, Marcia is the “dog whisperer.”  She has become like a member of our family and Bizi is certainly a member of hers. We happily recommend her services for boarding or visitation and are glad to offer references.”               LR, Sherborn, MA

Sherman from Medfield, MA

“As a frequent business traveler with a wife who works full-time, HousePetality has been a life-saver. I prefer to keep my Dog, Sherman, fenced in as he has no traffic sense. When I travel, Marcia brings her owndog, Roxie, for quality play-time in my fenced-in yard. The two romp arounduntil they are both ready to drop, giving Sherman excellent mid-day exercise and socialization. HousePetality has been very amenable to meeting my sometimes erratic travel schedule and has always been reliable. This has given me piece of mind while I travel so that I do not have to worry about my little monkey Sherman.”    -DH, Medfield, MA

Enzo from Cambridge, MA

“We are so thankful to have found Marcia.  She really makes the dog-sitting experience more like a dog sleep over.  Enzo absolutely loved going to her house and playing with her dog Roxie.  He always came home happy, tired and well cared for.  I recommend her services to anyone who wants a real “just-like-home” treatment for their dogs when they go away.”  J & C, Cambridge, MA

Zoe from Sherborn, MA

“When our family recently went on a 10 day trip, we left our dog, Zoe, with Marcia while we were away. It was Zoe’s first time being away from the family so we wanted to make sure we left her in good hands. After meeting with Marcia, we knew we had found the right person to care for our family pet. Her obvious love of animals and caring personality gave us the peace of mind that we were leaving Zoe in good hands. Needless to say, we never once worried about her while we were on our trip, and when we came home, we found her just as happy and healthy as the day we left. We would highly recommend Marcia to anyone in need of a trusted caregiver for their family pet.”-  RB, Sherborn, MA
