I, Marcia, have been an animal lover since I was born. My love has only deepened over the years as I have been honored with the wonderful love and companionship of the many dogs with whom I've shared my home and life.

As a pet lover, I am exquisitely aware of how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind when you have to go away on business or pleasure. The first and only time I left one of my dogs in a kennel (for 1 day), she urinated for a full 5 minutes and gave me the cold shoulder for nearly 3 days. Most dogs are happiest in a home-like environment. I know that a trusted petsitter is a "find." As my human clients can testify, I am that trusted, loving person who can fill in for you in keeping your pet happy and stress-free until you return.

My current canine "squeeze" is Roxie. Her picture graces every page of this Web site. She is a wonderful, playful, good-natured and respectful mutt who spent her first 2 years (before I adopted her) with her canine mother and sister. So she's very well socialized with other dogs and makes a perfect companion and assistant for VIP Deluxe Dog Boarding and Play Dates with Roxie-- 2 of the primary services of HousePETality.

The Metrowest area in which Sherborn is located is graced with many wonderful places to go walking with the dogs I care for. My home, where I board only one household's dog population at a time, is situated in the woods with 2 large, fenced-in yards: one for sniffing and the other for romping.
