(14)

We proudly serve all of Charlestown, Assembly Row neighborhood in Somerville, North Point in Cambridge and the North End (hikes and playgroup.) It was established by Danielle deWildt in response to a gaping hole in the pet care industry with-in Charlestown, MA. Danielle saw a lapse in available options for dogs with special needs, behavioral and medical. We are insured, bonded and certified throug

h PSI, Pet Sitters International. The launch of Bark Around was very well received and came out of the gate running. Danielle’s husband, Michael Resendes, ended up leaving his job with UPS to take on more responsibility with-in Bark Around. Danielle’s specialties include working with human and/or canine aggressive dogs, reactive dogs, dogs that require a structured outlet for their energy and diabetic dogs and cats (including insulin injections.) Michael’s specialties include working with senior and physically disabled dogs. Michael believes strongly in the power of touch and the energy it transfers between human and animal. He has a no-rush attitude that can be interpreted as soothing to dogs that struggle with loss of sight or hearing or suffer mobility inadequacies. We offer group outings based upon an animal’s abilities and comfort. An ideal situation would maximize a group at 4 dogs (including park adventures.) Special needs pets would go out individually or with 1 other dog. Our services: (if you don’t see what you need listed, please call so we can discuss your specific requirements. trips to groomer, vet, evening/weekend walks, etc)

Puppy Program - 2 twenty minute solo visits (one between 10am-12pm, the other between 2pm-4pm.) This program is designed to encourage appropriate house training behavior, training reinforcement and includes dispensing of meals, as requested. Solo Walks - 20min/30min/40min - These walks are reserved for dogs with medical or behavioral needs necessitating focused, individualized attention. All walks feature positive training reinforcement. Danielle will utilize “off-leash play” when deemed appropriate, either in a fully enclosed space or with the aid of a long line/training lead. Group Walks - 20min/30min/40min - These socialization based walks focus on appropriate leash and dog:dog behaviors. Groups are maximized at 4 dogs and we try to match dogs based on size and temperament. We utilize off-leash play when conditions allow. Play Group - 40-60min - An off leash play session, focused on dog:dog appropriate behavior and features work on recall in a stimulating environment. Playgroup is limited to 4 dogs each session. Overnight Care - Michael and I offer boarding in our home to your dog(s). In-home boarding is found to be less stressful to your pet and their immune system. Boarding is crate free, when appropriate. Our pick-up and drop-off service is very convenient to accommodate your busy schedule.

We are so sad to share the unexpected passing of Navy Yard resident, Pippy. Due to complications of a spinal injury, her mom made the compassionate decision to free Pippy of her pain.

Loosing any of our dog friends is incredibly hard, but to loose a dog that still had years ahead of her fills us with an immense amount of sorrow. Our thoughts are with her mom, while she toils through this most unexpected tragedy. Please send her your warmest thoughts.

🌈’til we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.🌈
