Worry-free Vacations

As with people, pets are more comfortable in their own surroundings and with their usual routine. 4 Paws ‘n Tails Pet Sitters provides in-home care for your pet, along with the love and attention your animals crave!

Meet Bob Wittren

For The Love of Dogs

I became interested in the pet sitting business after using a service to care for my two Siberian Huskies in my home while on vacation. Staying at home would be much less stressful on my dogs and for me. I knew that their routine would be close to normal and they would get the pet sitter’s full attention at each visit.

While away, I had peace of mind knowing that my home would be monitored. On my return from vacation, I was impressed that the dogs were content and comfortable, plants watered, mail on the table, trash emptied, and bird feeders filled.

Building The Company

The 4 Paws Story

Raised and educated in Groton, MA, I earned a Pharmacy degree from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and returned home to work in the family owned pharmacy. I decided to make a career change and joined a local landscaping company for 13 years as manager/supervisor. My love of animals and the desire to own my own business grew into 4 Paws ‘n Tails Pet Sitting.

Beginning part time, I started caring for the pets of family and friends. Quickly building my clientele, 4 Paws ‘n Tails became a full-time pet sitting business in 2000. The valuable experience I’ve gained over the years allows me to ask the right questions about your pets and to anticipate any problems before they happen. Caring for your animals is my primary responsibility, but I am always available to do more whenever possible. I develop a strong bond with your animals and treat them as if they were my own. I keep the business small and personal, with three part-time employees who cover my time off and assist during very busy vacation times.

Testimonials

From Pet Parents

  • Bob has been a part of our "pack" for the past 7 years. We were first introduced to Bob by neighbors who had used his services. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. We loved the idea that while we were away, the dogs did not have to be kenneled. They could stay in the comfort and safety of their own home. We have left our dogs for long weekends or a week in Bob's loving hands. We are always so confident that the dogs will be extremely well cared for while we are gone. Not only does Bob take care of the dogs, he takes care of the house as well. He bring in mail, takes out garbage and even waters the flowers!

    I know our dogs are happy when Bob walks into the house. They know that they will be well taken care of! Thank you, Bob for everything you have done for all of us over the years.

    Suzanne and John

  • We have been with 4 Paws 'n Tails for over two years and are thrilled with their excellent service and reliability. Bob is enthusiastic and genuinely loves to spend time with our dog. They go on vigorous walks, which is great for us when we’re at work, knowing Bob will be there to take care of Captain. We have fostered many other dogs over the past two years, and Bob is happy to help out and walk both dogs when we have an extra furry friend in the house. We sometimes get a quick video or picture from the walk, which is fun to see. Bob and his team go that extra mile to make sure they are giving top notch service.

    We have also used his pet sitting services and it’s wonderful to know that our pets are well cared for when we’re away for a weekend or a week. We trust Bob and his team completely, feeling secure knowing that he’s checking in on our pets and our house when we’re away. Bob has noticed when we have a leak in the basement or left a door open, texting us to let us know any important updates. He is quick to respond to a text from me about a schedule update or a request for future pet sitting. Bob is a really nice guy, friendly and clearly loves our pets. He watches out for their wellbeing, keeping them safe and happy while they are in his care. He notices the little things about Captain, letting us know if Captain seems under the weather or has a scrape on his skin. This attention to his responsibilities is rare and outstanding– Bob goes well above expectations to treat our pets like they are his own. While providing attentive and loving care to our animals, Bob is an absolute professional, being quick and efficient in our house if he comes when someone is home. We always feel safe and secure when our pets are cared for by Bob’s team!

    Deb and Chris

  • We have been a client of 4 Paws ’n Tails for years. We raise sheep and have an aging Coon Cat. We are away frequently during the summer and fall. 4 Paws ’n Tails has taken excellent and consistent care of our animals. There have been times at the farm when extra attention has been required and those situations were handled in a timely and appropriate manner. We trust Bob and his assistants. Professionalism and good care is their mantra. They receive our highest recommendation.

    Woolworks Farm

  • Bob has been walking and caring for my dog and other animals for almost 10 years. He is kind and very knowledgeable about animal health and behavior, and genuinely loves his four-legged clients. Bob is completely dependable and goes out of his way to accommodate last-minute, unexpected requests. He is a great communicator and lets me know if my dog’s behavior or health seems a bit off. I can’t imagine entrusting my beloved animal companions to anyone else!

    Mary

  • We feel so fortunate to have found 4 Paws ‘n Tails. They take such affectionate care of our 3 goldens. Their genuine love for animals is evident every time they spend time with our pups! We used to feel guilty about leaving our pups but now we know they’re happy and well cared for whenever we leave. We wouldn’t consider using anyone else to care for our pups at home!

    Lisa and Peter

  • We had complete confidence that our beloved pets were in the best hands and we were right. Bob has such a lovely way with the animals... they gravitate right to him! Bob is the dog whisperer of Groton- we are lucky to have him.

    Amy and Rick

  • 4 Paws ’n Tails has been taking care of our animals for over 16 years. Bob and his staff are so reliable and capable that we never worry when we are away from home. We've had several dogs and a cat, all with different needs and peculiarities and they have all been so well cared for. Our current two dogs love the attention they get when 4 Paws ’n Tails comes to take care of them. We also feel happy to know that when we are away our mail will be brought in, lights turned on and off and there is someone checking on our property. We love when they send us little photos or videos of our dogs playing. It makes being away from our furry kids so much easier.

    Andrea and Peter

  • We have been clients of Bob and 4 Paws ’n Tails for over 16 years. Bob has provided excellent care for our pets. We’ve had dogs, cats, a house bunny, a gerbil, a lizard and a bird. All of our pets were handled with utmost care. At one point, we had an elderly dog who was just recovering from a serious illness. We were scheduled to take a vacation but were hesitant to leave our dog. Bob assured us that all would be fine. He took great care with her and he called us multiple times just to assure us that all was well. Bob always makes time for us and is always willing to step in during an emergency or for last minute changes to our schedule. He gives great advice and is loved by our dogs! When they see Bob, they can hardly contain themselves! We would never use anyone other than Bob and 4 Paws ’n Tails!
